FILM OF DENVER
IS SHOWN TO
ROTARIANS
A motion picture of Denver, Colo
rado, depicting the beautiful points
of interest in that city and adjacent
territory, was shown to the members
of the Blakely Rotary Club at its
weekly luncheon meeting at noon
last Thursday. The 1941 convention
of Rotary International is to be held
in Denver June 15-20. The film
was shown by Mr. C. A. Bell, as
sistant county agent, who furnished
the projection machine and screen
for the showing.
Another feature of the day’s pro
gram was a talk by Mr. Joe W. Vin
son, of Washington, D. C., a member
of the F. B. 1., who was at home on
a few days’ visit. Mr. Vinson dis
cussed the work of the F. B. 1., and
the various types of cases handled
by that department of the govern
ment.
Club guests for the meeting were
Rotarian Austin Smith, of Bain
bridge; Rotarian Alfred Pullen and
the Rev. D. T. Cox of Cuthbert; R.
R. Childs, of Athens, and C. A.
Bell, guests of Rotarian J. E. Leger;
Harold Haggard, of Cincinnati, a
guest of Rotarian Felix Barham, and
Joe Vinson, a guest of Rotarian
James B. Murdock, Jr.
The luncheon was presided over
by President Jim Bonner, with the
music by Mrs. Ben Haiste.n.
Local Camp Observes
“Know Your CCC
Week” Program
“Not only from an economic stand
point, but also from a religious, fra
ternal and educational angle, the
Civilian Conservation Corps has
proven a vast benefit,” Howard E.
Smith, Kolomoki Park superintend
ent. told a group of Blakely citizens
Wednesday afternoon when a spe
cial “Know Your CCC Week” pro
gram was held at the camp.
Mr. Smith reviewed the work of
the CCC since its inauguration al
mst eight years ago in 1933. Mr.
Smith said the first purpose of the
CCC at the time of its inauguration
was to reduce relief rolls. Now the
CCC has been put on a business basis,
so profitable and beneficial has it
been, and now CCC is open to any
young man between the ages of
17 and 23 who is unemployed.
“I personally have known the
vast benefits these camps have per
formed,” Mr. Smith said. “I have
seen boys come to work in our
camps, iearn to operate road machin
ery, and leave the camp to take
jobs ranging in salary from $125 to
$l5O per month. These same boys
without the training afforded by the
CCC could never have commanded
more than one dollar per day . . .
The very fine thing about CCC work,
although it is not a military organi
zation, is that 75 per cent of the
field work now being done by CCC
men is akin to the national defense
program.”
Lieutenant M. F. Sullivan, com
pany officer, thanked the citizens for
their attendance and extended a wel
come to all Early county citizens to
visit the camp at any time. “We feel
the camp is as much yours as ours,
and we don’t want you to wait for
an invitation, but come any time;
your presence is always desired,”
Lieut. Sullivan said.
Present at Wednesday’s meeting
were representatives from the local
civic clubs, American Legion post,
and others.
Representing the Rotary Club was
Dunbar Grist; Lions Club, Sid How
ell; American Legion, Commander
Abe Berman and W. C. Cook; the
churches, Revs. E. M. Overby and
Spencer B. King; and Mrs. Iva Her
ring,* Mrs. Emmett Williams, Miss
Miriam Godwin, B. B. Godwin, and
Earl “Tige” Pickle, representing the
Early County News.
Before lunch was served in the
main dining room, a tour of the
camp was made under direction of
Lieut. James M. Bryant, Jr., the
company’s junior officer.

tinuing until further notice, ex
amination for driver’s license will
be given at Blakely on the second

FSA Families Asked
To Increase Food
And Feed Production
Early County FSA families were
called upon this week by W. T. Clear
man, Farm Security Administration
Supervisor, to make every effort to
live closer at home and to increase
their production of food and feeds
as means of aiding in National De
fense.
Mr. Clearman warned that no one
can foresee what the future holds
for America but pointed out that in
the event this country becomes em
broiled in the present European war
the farmer will be asked and expect
ed to furnish food and feed in
hitherto unprecedented quantities.
To meet this demand the super
visor said that Early County FSA
borrowers can make their greatest
contribution to National Defense by
looking to their land, improving it
and increasing its fertility which in
turn will increase the yield per acre.
This may be done by soil building
crops, soil conserving practices or
diversification, but by whatever
means the important thing, the super
visor said, is to act now and not
wait until next month or next year
to make improvements about the
farm but do it today.
“Our borrowers are shown the im
portance of January, February and
March as the months in which initial
farming preparations are made and
are told that a bad start during that
period will be a handicap the remain
der of the year,” Mr. Clearman said.
“The winter season affords many
opportunities for improvements about
the farm which later on would be
neglected in the rush of farm duties
These should be taken advantage of
and provisions made for plenty of
food and feed for both family and
livestock with any surplus stored up
for Uncle Sam if he ever needs it.”

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Warns Against
Dangers of Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning
Dangers from carbon monoxide
poisoning are cited by the Georgia
Department of Public Health, and
persons are urged to keep in mind
that carbon monoxide poisoning is
not an uncommon cause of disastrous
effects and has become one of the
most common forms of gas poison
ing. In many cities, it has exceeded
the other poisons in the number of
deaths occurring.
The health department urges that
caution be used in the use of gas
furnaces, since carbon monoxide is
one of the ingredients of illuminat
ing gas. It is also given off by red
hot cast-iron furnaces and when these
are used, the room should be venti
lated. Some of the chief sources of
carbon monoxide are leaky gas fix
tures, open coal fires, the closing
of dampers on stoves and furnaces
too early and accumulation of ex
haust in automobiles in garages.
Exertion naturally causes more rap
id breathing, which makes it easier
for carbon monoxide to be inhaled,
it is explained, and for this reason
when it is known that carbon monox
ide is present, exertion should be
avoided and breathing should be
limited as much as possible while in
the contaminated atmosphere.
Carbon monoxide is colorless,
tasteless and practically odorless. Its
poisonous effect depends upon its
ability to prevent the red blood cells
from carrying oxygen to all parts of
the body.
At least one window in a car
while riding should be left sufficient
ly open to allow fresh air to enter,
so as to minimize the concentration
of carbon monoxide, which may es
cape into the car because of some de
fect in the exhaust. People using
heaters in their cars should be par
ticularly careful, because ventilation
is just as necessary at these times
as at any other. The car should be
ventilated when standing still, if the
engine is left running because the
air does not circulate as freely as if
the car were moving.
