Georgia is making real progress in
its Brucellogis eradication program,
according to Frank W. Fitch, dairyman
for the Agricultural Extension Service
of the College of Agriculture,
Fitch said the progress is shown in
a recent report of the Animal Disease
Eradication Branch, Agricultural Re
search Service, U. 8. Department of
Agriculture, Figures show that from
July 1, 1954, through June 30, 1955,
there were 19,226 Georgia herds tested.
These included a total of 206,563 cattle,
During the same period 39,916 calves
were vaccinated for Brucellosis.
But despite progress made, Fitch
said those responsible for the opera
tion of the program feel that it will
take increased effort and participation
by all livestock owners to have “A
Brucellosis Free Georgia By 1060
That is the goal set by the State Bru
cellosis Committee,
The Extension dairyman- said offi
cials feel that Georgla can increase
greatly the calf vaccinations. “States
that are making the greatest progress
find that this step is very important
in building immunity to the disease
and decreasing the infection,” he point
ed out.
Fitch added that “good sanitation
and greater care in buying clean ani
mals is a big part of the program, too.”
The per cent of infection of Brucel
losis in Georgia is getting smaller
gradually. “This should stimulate a
wider participation in the eradication
program,” Fitch declared. “Owners of
beef, dairy, and swine herds, small or
larg—even owners of family milk
cows—have a part to play in this
statewide and nation-wide effort to
clean out this disease which is so
costly in human misery and in live
stock losses.”
It was pointed out that Brucellosis
causes undulant fever in human be
ings, and a $100,000,000 annual loss to
the nation's livestock industry.

Change Announced
.
In X-Ray Services
.
Of Mobile Units
Atlanta, Ga.—Mass group tuberculo
sis x-ray services by the mobile units
of the State Health Department will
be replaced in January, 1956, by a
system which will concentrate on in
dividuals that have been exposed to
or have symptoms of tuberculosis.
In announcing the change, Dr. H, C,
Schenck, director of Tuberculosis Con
trol for the State Health Department,
explained that the new plan will offer
x-ray service to those persons most
likely to have tuberculosis who are
not being x-rayed in the regular coun
ty health department clinics,
Previously, the mobile units were
scheduled to visit schools and indus
tries for mass x-ray surveys. However,
it was found that there were twice as
many cases discovered in x-rays of
the general public than in those of
industrial workers, and nearly seven
times as many as in those of school and
college groups, Dr. Schenck said.
With only three mobile units, which
are capable of processing a total of
only 150,000 x-ray pictures yearly, it
is impossible for the entire state pop
ulation to be x-rayed, according to
Dr. Schenck. Because the new plan
is more selective, it is expected so lo
cate more cases of tuberculosis than
the former plan.
The county health departments will
schedule visits of the mobile units
through the regional health depart
ments. The following will be urged
to have x-rays by the units:
(1) Those who have a cough of long
duration, repeated influenza attacks,
pneumonia, bronchitis, fever and pro
longed sweats, and other signs of dis
ecase in the chest or unexplained ill
health,
(2) Those who have had contact with
cases of tuberculosis, and
(3) Those who have taken the tu
berculin test and have reacted to it

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Medical Assn. Of Ga. Gives
Terms For Treating Indigent
Sick Persons In Georgia
Americus, Ga.—The Medical Asso
ciation of Georgia has offered to pro
vide free medical care to indigent
sick persons in Georgia, if the state
and counties will finance hospital
care,
In a speech before the Third District
Medical Society in Americus, Dr. H.
Dawson Allen, of Milledgeville, Presi
dent of the Association, declared “the
medical profession has always realized
its responsibility in providing free
care for indigent persons, but at the
present time there is no adequate
program for the hospital care of these
unfortunate people.”
Dr. Allen cited successful programs
that have been worked out in Flori
da, Tennessee, North and South Caro
lina for the hospital care of persons
who are financially unable to pay the
cost of hospital care and treatment,
“We would be glad to cooperate with
other interested groups to work out a
solution to this critical problem in
Georgia,” he said. He pointed out
that it may be necessary to seek legis
lation to set up a study commission
and said the Georgia Hospital Associa
tion has already indicated its interest
in the problem.
“The problem is a complex one and
would probably require considerable
study,” Dr. Allen stated. He said in
other states the state government has
taken part in the financing of indi
gent care but “the ultimate responsi
bility should remain with the county
in cooperation with the medical pro
fession.”
Cash registers in Early County rang
up a total of $570414 in June, $647.788
in July, and $780514 in August in re
tail sales, according to the latest re
lease by the Georgia State Chamber
of Commerce.
August sales in Early County in
1954 were $657.647.
For the state as a whole, June sales
totaled $313450658, an increase of
nearly $23 million over that of June,
1954. July sales totaled $313468.186,
exceeding by some $22 million total
business done during the same month
of 1954 August sales of $339.607217
were up $35 million over August, 1954.
“This steady retail gain across the
state reflects the accelerated develop
ment activities carried out by com
munity leaders in many sections of
Georgia,” said Walter Cates, executive
vice president of the State Chamber.
“Employment and wages in Georgia
are at a record peak as a result of our
healthy industrial growth.”
Last year American motorists and
truckers used more than 44 billion gal
lons of gasoline.

CLOTHES are easy to care for
if you know exactly what to
do about them. Using these tips
will give you a big boast toward
that well groomed look for which
we're all striving. :
Ribbons are easy to press after
washing if you'll just wind them
around the shower curtain rod or
bathroom pipe.
Slip the puffed sleeves of dresses
or blouses over a lighted electric
light bulb and finger press to
smooth away the wrinkles.
If you're using a metal hanger
on which to dry clothes, fold a
towel or clean paper over it so
your garment will not have rust
marks left on it.
Crumpled but clean garments
can be hung in the bathroom with
the hot water turned on in the
closed room for 15 minutes or so.
