Some Mental Ills' Cause
Seem to be Physical
I This article is clipped from the
: Montreal Gazette, Montreal, Can
ada. Dr. A. M. Bazemore mention
ed in the story is the son of Mrs.
Bertha Bazemore of Butler.
, The article reads:
' Scientific research tending to
show that some mental diseases
such as schizophrenia, come from
physical changes inside the body
rather than from emotional ex
periences, was reported at the
20th Annual Meeting of the Ca
nadian Physicological Society at
the University of Montreal recent
ly-
About 500 research scientists
from Canada and the USA had
gathered .for the three day con
ference embracing many aspects of
scientific medicine.
A number of papers, including
some presented by scientists at
the Mohtreal Neurological Insti
tute and the Allan Memorial Insti
tute of Psychiatry, dealt with the
chemistry of the nervous system
and particularly with the mechan
ism by which messages are sent
from the brain to the various parts
of the body by way of the nerves.
Substance known as “humoral
transmitters” are important in this
process. Some humoral transmit
ters act as “excitors” i.e. stimulate
nearby nerve cells into activity.
Others are inhibitory and prevent
such activity.
It is theorized that some mixup
in the function of these transmit
ters may be responsible for some
mental illness and for disease of
the central nervous system such as
epilepsy.
Drs. A. W. Bazemore, E. Florey
and K. C. Elliott, of the Montreal
Neurological Institute, have report
ed the isolation from the normal
brain of a chemical which is cap
able of abolishing completely (in
hibiting) certain responses to
stimulation. This substance they
suspect to be a normal inhibitory
“humoral transmitter.”
Isolation and identification of
such substances will‘shed a lot of
light on the physical changes that
go on in the brain under normal
conditions and may bear out the
contention of certain medical men
that some mental ills are as much
physical in origin as is a disease
such as diebetes or arthritis.
UPSON COUNTY NEGRO
WOMAN GETS 12-MONTH TERM
FOR NEGLECTING CHILDREN
Thomaston, Ga. — The mother
of four children who have been
eating out of garbage cans was
sentenced to 12 months in prison
this week and Judge J. H. McGe-
hee told her, “I wish I could send
you for life.”
Georgia Dennis, Negro, was sen
tenced after court took her four
children and placed them in fos-
5 ter homes.
Judge McGehee said, in open
court, that she had not provided
for the children and they had
i been forced to eat from garbage
cans.
“You took the Welfare money
| and bought liquor with it,” Judge
I McGehee told the woman.

100th Anniversary
December 28tih was the 100th
birthday of Woodrow Wilson, and it
was remembered throughout the
the land. Special ceremonies were
conducted at Stanton, Va., the
great man’s birth-place.
Three living men who have
served in the White House, former
Presidents Hoover and Truman
and President Eisenhower paid
tribute to him. Georgia, where he
lived for some years, remembered
him, and he was not forgotten in
foreign countries.
President Wilson was indeed a
great man. A grateful people will
honor his memory more and more
as the years pass.

THE BACKBONE OF Congress
is its committees. Without them
legislative processes would bog
down in a hopeless morass of con
flicts and confusion.
While the de
bates and de
cisive votes
give Congress
its color, it is in
the committee
rooms that the
laws of the na
tion are perfect
ed. Through
countless hours of usually-unher-
alded study, research, conferences
and hearings, the members and
staffs of the various committees
put into proper form, both as to
structure and substance, each of
the acts considered by the law
makers for a place on the statute
books.
* ♦ *
BECAUSE OF THE vital role
which committees play in making
our laws, I was particularly grati
fied to be assigned by the Senate
Democx-atic Steering Committee to
serve on two key ones—the Com
mittee on Agriculture and Forestry
and the Committee on Rules and
Administration.
The Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry is responsible for all
legislative matters relating to
those two fields, particularly the
formulation of the nation’s farm
program. It considers all meas
ures pertaining to such subjects as
agricultural production and prices,
livestock and meat inspection, ani
mal diseases, seed adulteration, *in-

sects, agricultural colleges, ex
periment stations, agricultural
research, dairying, nutrition, home
economics, entomology, plant quar
antine, farm credit, rural electrifi
cation, crop insurance, agricultural
marketing and soil conservation.
* * *
THE RULES COMMITTEE han
dles all matters relating to the
parliamentary rules and procedures
of the Senate and federal elections,
including those for President and
Vice President. In addition, it is
the agency which administers the
various facilities of the Senate as
well as those institutions, like the
Smithsonian Institution and Bo
tanic Gardens, which come under
its jurisdiction.
This Committee, particularly this
year, will exercise great influence
over the course of many measures
coming before the Senate, espe
cially such controversial ones as
the so-called civil rights proposals.'
For example, it will consider all of
the proposed changes in Senate
Rule XXII which permits unlimited
debate.
BOTH OF THESE Committees
will be dealing with legislation in
which all Georgians have a major
concern not only at this session but
also at sessions to come. I feel
that through serving on them I will
be enabled to be a more effective
representative of the citizens of
Georgia and the nation.

WljfH WINTER GRAZING
In Georgia you see many pastures
rich and green in the coldest months.
They are used for wintering beef cows,
fattening steers, and increasing milk
production.
More than 14,000 of Georgia’s Future
Farmers have planted 50,000 acres of
this supplemental grazing since 1948.
In doing so, they learned much about
soil selection and preparation, liming,
fertilizing, pasture plants, seeding and
management.
Such work has been far-reaching in
its effect. By achievements on their
home farms the boys have demon
strated to families and neighbors that
good winter pastures are possible and
profitable.
In cooperation with the Vocational
Agriculture Department of the State
Department of Education, the Georgia
Power Company sponsors the annual
winter grazing awards program for
Future Farmers. This is only one of
seven programs we sponsor every year
for Georgia’s farm youth.
