Polio Victim's Sons
Wanted Crutches and
Chair Like Dad's
Macon, Ga. — Stanley and Steve
Smith, husky sons of Mr. and Mrs.
James Smith, had two strange
items on their Santa Claus lists at
Christmas. Each boy wanted a
wheel chair and crutches.
The explanation is that the Smith
boys, three and six, idolize their
father, and since Pop is a polio vic
tim, the youngsters just naturally
want equipment like his.
Operation Comeback has been a
continuous process for the elder
Smith, thanks to the aid of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. He has traveled a long
way since the black days in Sep
tember, 1954, when he was stricken
with a dreaded disease.
The Foundation is sponsored by
the March of Dimes whose cam
paign for funds gets underway
this week.
Atlanta Doctors Remove
Dart from Boys Head
Atlanta, Jan. 4 — A 12-year-old
boy had a metal dart removed
from his skull in Atlanta Saturday
after a crisis-filled night trip from
his home town.
Richard McRanie, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. McRanie, was flown to
Atlanta after a metal dart with a
3-4-inch blade penetrated his skull.
The accident occurred Friday at
the Albany teen-age recreation cen
ter .
Another youngster threw the dart
which accidentally struck Richard
on the right forehead, between the
eyebrow and hair line.
The boy‘s mother said her son’s
first reaction was to try to pull
the dart out. It was lucky, said Mrs
McRainie, that he failed "since
pulling the dart out might have
caused bleeding and pressure.”
Richard was rushed to a hospital
in Albany where X ray showed the
sharp point of the dart sticking out
past the bone structure of the head.
“At no time did he lose conscious
ness. In fact, he appeared the calm
est of all," Mrs. McRanie said.

Advance Toward
Protestant Unity
Encourages Christians
During 1957 491 animal bites
were reported in Bibb county. Al-
tho Georgia law requires that each
animal bite be reported to health
! authorities, there were probably
1 many more bites which were not
reported according to authorities.
Emory University has received a
j $4,000 grant from the E. I. du

I for other courses. i
Washington — Religious leaders
are greatly heartened by evidences
of the growth of influences work
ing for reunion of the numerous
branches of the Christian church.
The goal of a single church is re
mote, possibly never to be attained
but belief in a divine mandate to
terminate division and dissension
among true Christian is winning
wide acceptance. A pull toward
Protestant unity has been gaining
momentum for half a century.
Theological circles now are even
considering the possibility of some |
day healing the 400-year-breach |
between Roman Catholics and Pro
testants.
A multiplicity of denominations
has characterized Protestantism
since the Reformation. The tenden
cy to break apart into separate
sects has been particularly strong
in this country. The number of re
ligious denominations, all Protes
tants except a handful, rose from
143 in 1890 to 258 at the latest
count. But the recent nuermical in
crease has been caused mainly by
division of small sects. Fragmen
tation of major denominational
groups seem to have halted.
The process of church consolida
tion proceeds at a deliberate pace,
but more than 30 formal unions
have been completed in the past
few decades in various parts of the
world. Church mergers in this
country between 1900 and 1954
combined 28 denominations into
12.
Georgia's Rainfall Last
Year Was 54.32 Inches
During the past year 54.32 inches
of rain fell in Georgia according to
authorities who maintain accurate
rain gages.
The official statistics show May
was the wettest month of the year
when 8.01 inches fell. The driest
was chalked up for July with .82
inches of rain.
Sign of Spring
One swallow doesn’t make a
summer, nor one robin a winter, but
an old saying is that when the
first little robin is sighted
spring is just six weeks away.
A Taylor county friend called a
few days ago to say we’re going to
have the earliest spring ever this
year, or else he was looking at a
mighty slow robin which was ca
rousing on his yard.

Jones County
CREATED TO HONOR
A STATESMAN
dl3o £3
Back in 1807, a grateful Georgia Legislature carved out 377
square acres in the very heart of the state and named it
Jones County to honor the great statesman and military
leader, James Jones, who had died six years previously.
Today, one of the state’s oldest counties, it enjoys a thriving
economy built on pulpwood and timber, and from cotton,
com and fruit that it ships to all corners of the world. And,
for those who like the leisurely life, it provides excellent
fishing in Lake Sinclair which dips conveniently into its
northeast comer.
In historic, thriving Jones County and throughout
Georgia, the United States Brewers Foundation works con
stantly to assure the sale of beer and ale under pleasant,
orderly conditions. Believing that strict law enforcement
serves the best interest of the people of Georgia, the Founda
tion stresses close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law
enforcement and governing officials in its continuing "self-
regulation” program.
