PEOPLE WILL HAVE
TO RETIRE ME, SAYS
JUSTICE RUSSELL
(By Georgia News Service)
Chief Justice Russell, of the State
Supreme Court, last week was em
phatically denying all rumors that
he might retire from the bench. He
is eligible to retire on two-thirds pay
both under the age and length of
service provisions of the retirement
act passed by the last Legislature.
“Any report that I will avail my
self of the provisions of the justice
emeritus law are in error,” he said.
“I opposed this bill when it was be
fore the Legislature and I am op
posed to it now.
“I am the only chief justice ever
elected by the people of Georgia,
and when I retire, it will be by their
votes. I have never considered vol
untarily retiring and am not consider
ing it now.
“When my present term expires in
1940, I shall be a candidate for re
election.”

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
OF GEORGIA WILL
AWARD TROPHY
(By Georgia News Service)
As an incentive to improve the
health of the parents and teachers
and children, the Medical Association
of Georgia has given a Health Tro
phy to the Georgia Congress of Par
ents and Teachers for them to award
to the district that has done the best
health work during the year.
The award is made on basis of
points which are allotted to five
health subjects: diphtheria, typhoid,
dental corrections, tuberculin test,
physical examinations for parents
and teachers the current year on a
form published by the Medical As
sociation of Georgia.
“A greater safeguard cannot be
thrown around children than for
their parents and teachers to have
good health,” a spokesman for the
Medical Association said. “A yearly
examination or check up by the
family physician on a form furnish
ed by the Medical Association of
Georgia may be the means of ward
ing off serious trouble.”
These forms provide a grading of
each physical condition the total
based on 100 points, with the deduc
tions noted in the margin of the
form, so that it will be easy for the
examined and the physician to notice
any variation on a re-examination.
The physicians have agreed to
charge only a reasonable fee for this
complete health examination and
hope that many will take advantage
of this offer to have thorough check
up of themselves.
