This is the time of year to plan
your summer vacation. Most
American families utilize the sum
mer months for their major annual
vacation, al'.ho some like to break
the monotony of their work ici the
spring or fall, or even winter. For
those who are planning to vacation
in the summer, the hour is getting
latefor making final arrangements.
There are several precautions
one can take to make certain that
his vacation is not a burst. First of
all, he should confirm his reserva
tions, and make them well in ad
vance. Second, he should make his
plans so as not to be hurried at the
last minute, or hurried on the
highways, once he has started out.
And now we come to the real
icrux of the question. Many Ameri
cans need a vacation after they
have taken their annual summer
vacation. They actually wear them
selves out in a fit of frantic effort
trying to see everything, do every
thing, and cram it all into the
space of a few days.
All of which brings us around to
the solution. A vacation should be
a time of rest for he elder mem
bers of a family. For the young
sters, adventure, sightseeing, and
hectic pace may be quite enjoyable
However, for the family, a happy
medium must be struck.
Therefore, one should choose as
a vacation spot a place where the
parents can get some rest. It is
better, in our humble opinion, to
spend one week (or two) in one
place and get a rest, and really en
joy the scenery and flavor of the
vacation spot, than to see several
places during one summer vaca
tion.
Of course, no rules apply to all
people and these are merely sug
gestions. But the U. S. vacationer
often makes the same mistake of
his perhaps richer counterpart,
who takes a summer cruise to Eu
rope each year. Too many U. S.
travelers, traveling abroad, at
tempt to see all of Europe in 30
days, and that includes about ten
countries or more.
In other words, they are on the
train, or on a bus, or traveling by
car or plane, practically every day
or two In a desperate bid to see it
all. Their purpose would be served
much better if they are seeking a
vacation, and if they are seeking
to undestand the way the people
in Europe live, and their habits
and customs, if they were to go and
stay in one country for a month,
or in one country for two weeks,
and another for two weeks. They
would then enjoy a rest, would be
come well acquainted with the
people and their ways in that sec
tion and in that country, and they
[could return to another country
I some other year.
| Likewise, the U. S. vacationer
j choosing between the mountains,
the sea coast, or the big city,
[might profit by limiting his itiner

“It Won’t Happen
To Me”
In reading about accidents that
kill other people, we are apt to
dismiss the matter with a careless
“It won’t happen to me.”
Maybe not, but just the same, it
might be a good idea to remember
that the victim of the fatal acci
dent was just as confident before
the accident and as irrevocably
dead afterward.
We recall the case of a young
woman using a health lamp to
take a sun bath in her bathtub.
Somehow, there was a contact, and
she was shocked . Later she was
found dead.
This illustrates the danger of us
ing electrical appliances in and
around the bath tub. There is dan
ger that the cord will become wet.
thus charging the water or that
the individual touching the cord
will receive a serious shock.
The moral is to be extremely
careful how you handle the cord
that comes with your electrical ap
pliance. Be on guard when water
is around. Do not handle electrical
plugs, etc., with wet hands or while
standing on wet floors or wet
ground. Watch wourself and you
may live longer!
Polio Time
The polio season is with us, or
here, and we remind our readers
that altho we have a vaccine—or
several vaccines — Polio is still
taking a heavy tol of American
lives.
Some people may not realize it,
but in 1959 polio paralyzed five
thousand victims. Also, many peo
ple do not realize it but 49 per cent
of the American population —
practically half — has received no
polio vaccine at all.
It is among this half of the pop
ulation that paralytic polio will
take a heavy toll this summer, a
U. S. Public Health Service official
recently warned.
The National Foundation estimat
ed recently that the polio vaccine
last year saved 9,000 persons from
paralysis. This is a tremendous
achievement, and altho new vac
cines are on the horizon, and are
actualy being used both in Russia
and in the United States, those who
have not received the new vaccine
shots, should certainly see to it
that their children, and they them
selves receive the Salk vaccine
i shots.
A word to the wise should be
sufficient — and this is perhaps
the last warning yo might get be
fore polio strikes down some one
near you, or even in your own
family — who has neglected to ob
tain vaccination or one of the new
orally taken vaccines.

[ship comes in so late that he is

Judge Roddenberry of
Waycross Enjoins Court
In Hog Swindle Case
WAYCROSS—Ware Superior Court
Judge Cecil M. Roddenberry has
issued a temporary restraining order
to halt court action against a North
Carolina man charged with cheat
ing south Georgia farmers out of
SICO.COO worth of hogs.
Sol. Gen. W. H. Lanier said the
purpose of the injunction is to give
a number of livestock dealers time
to file claims against the man,
Jacob Williams.
A Toombs County Superior
Court indicted Williams on counts
alleging he bought $7,950 worth of
hogs from the Toombs County Stock
[Yard and never paid for them. State
■’“"mevs said at least five similar
1 indictments have been returned a-
gainst Williams.
Georgia seeks the extradition of
Williams from North Carolina.
Hughel Harrison, assistant Geor
gia attorney general said the extra
ct H ion hen ring has been set before
ithe governor of North Carolina in
Raleigh next Monday.
Harrison said Williams has h^n
charged in at least 13 cases with
cheating farmers. He said, if con
victed Williams could receive one
to five years on each count.
Waycross Boy
Walks 7 Miles When
Mother Dies In Crash
EASTMAN—An 11-year-old Way-
cross boy, whose grandparents live
in Eastman warked some 7.6 miles
through dense mountain terrain last
Sunday night for help for his
mother and their pilot who were
killed in a plane crash near Chat
tanooga.
Randy Hall Sasser told two wom
en occupants of the first home he
came to that lightning had hit their
plane in an electrical storm causing
i to plunge out of control into the
foothills of Mt. Aetna near Chatta
nooga.
The boy suffering from severe leg
'niuries told rescurers that he began
walking for help after he attempted
to pull his mother, Mrs. Dean Sass
er. 30, from the wreckage and failed.
Mr. and Mrs. George F. Murck-
orson of Eastman, the boy’s grand
parents, said the bay told them he
".earched his mother’s belongings
for identification after realizing his
story might not be believed.
After finding her social security
card he turned and started down
the mountain. “I made deep tracks
so that the storm would not cover
them up and so they could find
the plane,” he told his grand
parents.
When the old skunk died all the
other skunks got together and sent

New Education Building at State FFA-FHA Camp
Members of the Future Farmers of America and the Future Homemakers of
America from throughout Georgia’s 159 counties now are extensively using this
new Georgia Power Company education building at the state FFA-FHA car.tp at
Jackson Lake. The building is in the form of a semi-circular arena with raised
tiers of seats. It has a stage, complete electric kitchen, and motion picture
projection room. The auditorium has an electric heat pump for year-rouvJ air
conditioning. A demonstration area in the building is used for the study of
machinery repair, farm electrification, and other purposes. The $50,000 building,
of concrete construction, was built under the power company’s sponsorship, with
the camp development fund matching the company’s contribution of $25,000.
