Typhoid Clinic Under
Direction Of County Nurse
'To Begin Here April 28
This month as in previous years
■vre begin our clinic for immuniza
tion against Typhoid fever in
Taylo rcounty for the benefit of
every person in the county.
More than ever, we should taKe
every precaution against diseases
in this perilous time of war when
our medical profession has suf
fered a considerable shortage with
so many doctors being called into
service. We realize that our phy
sicians are over-worked at all
times, and if our citizens will take
immunization they may prevent
some serious illness and thereby
spare the doctors some of their
time.
Every person should take this
opportunity for immunization
against this dreaded disease.
The clinic will be held in Butler
and Reynolds, beginning April 28
and continuing through May 5
and 12.
In Butler the clinics will be held
in the courthouse from 8 to 12 a.
m. on the above dates.
The clinic in Reynolds will be
Jield in the school building from 1
to 3 p. m. on the same dates.
Any person taking the three
vaccines are asked to come and
get started with them on the first
day of clinic, as we will not start
anyone for three treatments after
the first clinic-day.
All persons taking three vac
cines last year are advised to take
one vaccine this year and each
year thereafter.
As usual, a fee of 75c will be
charged for the three vaccines or
25c for one. This fee goes to the
doctors for their services.
I will also give Diphtheria Tox
oid to anyone desiring it. This
treatment is given free to children
between the ages of six months
and five years.

Some of these hazards to be

Farmers can supplement their

The County Agent advises cream
producers to carry out the follow

house as soon as rniiked, strain
milk thrdugh a clean sterile cloth,

their automobiles so as to length

said:
“The automobile tire situation is

It is essential that motorists main
tain low rates of speed in order to
preserve automobile tires. This is
an essential war-time duty de
volving itself upon us all. Accord
ingly, at the suggestion of the
WPB, I am urging all Georgians to
cooperate in the war program by
maintaining low speed rates. An
automobile tire lasts twice as long
at a 35-mile speed than at a speed
of 45. Let's keep America mobile
by going further slower. Let's co
operate in preserving our rubber

Willie Ward, claiming to be 112
years old, who was once the slave
of Civil War Governor Joe Brown,
stood before City Recorder A. W.
Calloway Saturday morning and
pleaded to the “good white folks”
to set him free.
The old man, arrested by Radio
Patrolman K. A. Wooster and D.
W. Clayton Friday night on
charges of being drunk, explained
thathe went out to Georgia Tech
and the boys gave him a little too
much toddy.
“I started for home,” Willie
told the judge, “but I just give
out. I couldn't get no further when
the good police come along and
bring me to jail for safe-keeping.
Ise a white folks’ man. Just let
this old man go home and he'll be
a good boy from now on.”
Willie told Judge Calloway that
he was born in an old shack on
the site of the present capital and
that Gov. Brown took him away
from his mother when he was
three, and he worked for the Gov
ernor until his death. He said he
recalled living in the basement of
a “big old house” where the City
Hall is now, at the time Sherman
marched through Georgia.
He also recalled being arrested
once before for being drunk. But
the white folks paid his fine, and
let him go home, he said.
Willie went home again Satur-
Judge Calloway suspended
the sentence and charges on his
promise to “be a better boy from
now on.”

COMMISSION
AND UNOPPOSED CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION TO THAT
POST, EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO THE VOTERS op
GEORGIA FOR THIS EVIDENCE OF CONFIDENCE AND
PLEDGES HIS BEST EFFORTS IN CONTINUING TO RENDER
TO THE PEOPLE THE CHARACTER OF PUBLIC SERVICE
DESERVED BY THIS UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT.
I wish to take this means of conveying to my many friends
throughout Georgia response to the many felicitations which
have come to me and. at the same time, to express to them
and to the entire State sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the unani-
mous endorsement of my record of public service as evidenced by renomination
without opposition for re-election in the forthcoming July 4tb Primary for another
full term as a member of the Georgia Public Service Commission. Since the beginning
ol my service on the Commission in November, 1936, it has been my privilege to nead
the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division and. In the early days of REA expansion, to
head the promotional work of this Commission in furtherance of rural electrification.
Those activities, however, have not precluded vigorous participation in all utility
regulation. I feel that T can point with pardonable pride to the record of the Com-
mission tor the past seven years which has resulted not only in the improvement and
exoansion of utility service, out in annual savings in rate reductions to the consumers
of utility service of $2,760,379. In the face of wartime increases in the prices of
practically all commodities, the Commission, through rate leductions ordered since
January 1. 1943. has effected annual savings to the rate oayers of Georgia in the
amount of $1,005,000. ' ^

How to make a
real post-war plan
Sure’s a lot of talk going around
nowadays about post-war plan
ning ... folks passing resolutions
. statesmen holding confer
ences . . . governments making
promises to each other.
But as Bert Childers says:
“What good is all this drawing
up of plans unless each one of
us decides to make his corner
of the world a better place to
live in?”
From where I sit, Bert’s put
the problem in a nutshell. Gov
ernments can pass all the reso
lutions and make all the treaties
they can think of-and it’s still
up to the people themselves to
see to it that the world is ruled
by tolerance and understanding.
Unless we make up our minds
to respect the other fellow’s
rights and liberties-whether
it’s the right to enjoy a glass of
beer occasionally or the right to
vote according to our conscience
—all onr postwar planning won’t
be worth the paper that it’s
printed on.
