/ Commissioners Asked
For Expanded
\ Health Services

Realizng the need for better pub
lic health facilities in Early county,
officials of the Blakely Womans Club,
along- with state and regional health
officials, called on the County Com
missioners at their meeting Tuesday
and asked that they consider the pos
sibilities of expanding the health pro
gram in the county.
Mrs. Melvin Middleton, chairman
of the Welfare Committee from the
Womans Club, was spokesman for the
group. iShe introduced Mrs. T. A.
Floyd, State Director of Nurses; Mrs.
F. C. Meyers, of Arlington, a former
public health nurse; Miss Virginia
Slaippey and A. M. Powell, of Al
bany, from the regional office.
Those from Bliakely in the group
were Mrs. E. P. Whitehead, Presi
dent of the Blakely Womans Club;
Mrs. Mary Crowdis and Mrs. LeRoy
Miller, members of the Welfare
Committee; Mrs. Ruth Gordon, Ear
ly County Health Nurse, and Mrs.
Arthur Chapman, clerk of the Early
County Health office.
Mrs. Middleton expressed the be
lief that the county needs more ade
quate space for Public Health Nurs
ing. It was pointed out that Mrs.
Gordon was the only nurse to admin
ister to the 17,000 people in Early
county, where usually there is one
public health nurse to every 5,000
people. Another public health nurse
v,as recommended. A Sanitarian is
desperately needed in the county and
a county health officer that could
probably serve three counties. But
most of all a building for Public
Health work is needed.
Miss Floyd, who is a native of
Early county, is listed as one of the
ten most outstanding nurses in the
United States. She told of ways to
secure a building. If the local au
thorities will pay one-third of the
cost of a building, and provide the
land, the state will pay one-third and
the government, one-third.
Application should be made now
if the county should desire to build
in 1954. All funds have already
been allocated for 1953. Further she
stated, there is no promise of funds
after 1954. Counties in South Geor
gia with Public Health buildings are,
Mitchell, Brooks, Thomas and Semi
nole. The offices in Donalsonville
are combined with other state and
government offices.
The proposed building would have
3S000 square feet at the cost of $15
a sq. ft. This would include fix
tures, sanitation facilities for testing
and further nursing facilities.
C. E. Martin, chairman of the
Eoard of Commissioners promised to
consider the possibilities of expand
ing the county’s health program with
the other members of the board.
They ai - e: Sam Ray Chandler, Her
man Sipith, C. N. McArthur, and J.
I!. Gaulden. The meeting was held
in the office of the county clerk,
3ert Tarver.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
The Value Of
Year-End Analysis
With FHA
Early County families cooperating
in the program of the Farmers Home
Administration are now reviewing
their past year’s farm and home
business in order to make plans for
the coming crop season, Neal A. Mc
Phaul, FHA supervisor, reports.
Crop and livestock yields for
1952, profits, losses, expenses, and
other items are included in the indi
vidual studies.
Families hope to get a picture of
their financial and production situa
tion so as to determine efficiency of
present practices, and discover where
weaknesses should be strengthened
for greater progress in the months
ahead. Those with FHA credit
either to own or operate farms, are
answering for themselves such ques
tions as, “Was production per head
of livestock or per acre as high as
possible? Was income as hig‘h as ex
pected? Were family living costs
more than planned?”
The answers are intended to sug
gest underlying problems that repre
rent road blocks in the way of suc
cessful farming. They may indicate
that the size of the farm business
was too small, crop and livestock en
terprises not properly balanced, farm
and home management methods hot
up-to-date, or not enough food
produced and preserved for home
use. '
“In this joint look at the balance
sheet, we pay special attention to
how the previous year’s business
turned out, to decide what changes
are needed for this year. Families
like this yearly analysis service pro
vided them because it gives them an
opportunity to measure progress
toward long range goals, and to
note any causes of failure before
repetition sets in. They feel that
planning ahead enables them to use
earnings to better advantage, avoid
spending for non-essentials and ar
range debt payment on or before the
clue date.”
In the year ahead, the Farmers
Home Administration will stress ad
justments and improvements in in
adequate farming systems. Borrow
ers plan to clear and develop idle
land, build up soil with crop rota
tions, liming and fertilizing, terrac
ing and contouring; establish perma
nent pastures, .plant better seed,
such as hybrid corn, and get higher
yields per acre; raise higher quality
livestock through better breeding,
care and feeding; grow more of
their own food and livestock feed,
more for market, mechanize
their farms where practical, improve
housing where necessary, adopt mod
ern farm and home practices, and
generally make better use of their
land and labor.
