EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA Washington, D. C.—~The U. S. sur geon general Sunday issued a new warning urging 40 million Americans under 40 who have not had polio shots to get them, Dr. Leroy E. Burney said in a state ment that incidence of the disease has varied through the years, even before the development of the Sdlk vaccine. “Should 1958 prove to be a year of natural high incidence, it is possible that there will be many cases among the 55 percent of the population under 40 who are not fully vaccinated,” he said. Burney said it was known that 1956 and 1957 were years of natural low in cidence because there was relatively little polio among unvaccinated per sONS, Burney pointed out that the polio season is just starting. He said the 52 paralytic cases reported during the week ended July 19 was the highest total for any week this year. | It also was the first time a 1958 weekly total has exceeded the cases in the comparable 1957 week. A year earlier there were 50 cases for the‘ week. | “For maximum protection the full series of three shots are needed,” Bur ney said. “Physicians in practice and in health departments are urged to make every effort to provide the full course of three injections. “While the Public Health Service has recommended a series of three shots on a mass basis as a public health measure to give high levels of protec tion to the greatest number, physicians in individual cases may well recom mend and parents may wish a fourth or booster injection of vaccine to be given a year or more after the series of three.” Burney said 47 of the 125 polio cases reported for the week ended July 19 were concentrated in two areas— Texas having 24 and Florida 23.

The golden promise of the atomic | age—nuclear power—may be just 'around the corner, but it isn't a very lshort corner. Some serious technical problems will have to be solved first. A more economical means of produc- Lng nuclear power must be devised ;belore it can become competitive with conventional power, according to Dar ‘win Krucoff, of Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology. ~ Krucoff, supervisor of the reactor systems section in the ARF physics research department, pointed out that the economics of power reactors has become as complex at the reactors themselves, “Until the technological complexities :are solved, the over-all problem of ‘economics may forestall the benefits of nuclear power to man for five to ‘ten years,” he said. | } The reactor system section currentlyl is working in two areas—reactor safety | and advanced reactor concepts—to solve some of these problems., It is concerned with all phases of reactor design and development, including re search, test, power, and propulsion re actors. ' This research has resulted in the development of a new power reactor concept with interesting possibilities, according to Krucoff. Known as the “Armour Dust Fueled Reactor,” the concept involves a new fuel form—; fissionable dust carried in an inert gas.' “The dust fueled reactor concept has the advantage of greatly reduced cor rosion and inherent high temperature capability, as well as all the advan-| tages of fluid fueled systems,” he said. | “Its unusual safety features and simple design appear very promising for the production of competitive nuclear power,” he added. | In addition to research in reactor design and development, the reactor systems section also engages in reactor hazards analysis. Physicists investigate' occurrences which could produce over- l heating and resulting damage to the reactor. . ' These occurrences can result from a variety of accident conditions, Kru coff explained, and may be followed by chemical reaction and unusual, steam generation rates. | This research is aimed at modifying reactor design to minimize hazardous conditions and to enable the design of adequate containment structures 'within the reactor. ® % % A recent ruling of the Internal Rev enue Service permits annual royalties ‘from patent rights to be treated as ‘capital gains for tax purposes. The IRS had held out for four years |against a congressional directive to |this effect, insisting that patent royal |ties should be classed as ordinary in 'come. Now the service has capitulated and promises ndt to go to court again 'in order to enforce the old regulation. [Bradley Urges Farmers To - Care For Conservation ‘ Reserve Land ] G The Conservation Reserve program |requires substantial positive action on the part of farmers who have signed | . [contracts and put land in the program, ,according to John F. Bradley, admin |istrative officer of the State Agricul |tural Stabilizattion and Conservation !Committee, The positive action is the jfarmer's commitment in the contract lunder which the government has agreed to make annual Conservation ‘Reserve payments. | The major items to which a farmer agrees under the contract are: | 1. To carry out certain soil, water, {forestry, or wildlife practices on a specific acreage of cropland. | 2. To take the designated land out of all production. | 3. To maintain the conservation I'practice established on the land. 4. To refrain from harvesting a crop or grazing the land. | 5. To control noxious weeds on the designated acreage. Although these actions are required for a farmer to remain eligible for the annual payments, Bradley emphasized, extra dividends come from doing a first class job in maintaining the con srevation practices. A good job of maintaining a grass cover, for example, will mean that the land is protected and is being improved even after the contract expires. He suggests that far mers consult the county Extension ,agent for ideas on managing Conser vation Reserve land to get the best long-time benefits, | e ——— 'SARDIS CEMETERY | TO BE CLEANED OFF | Due to the crowd being so few and the grounds too wet, the people with loved ones are urged to come Friday, August 1, to finish with the work. | Everyone that has lawn mowers, Iplease bring them to help cut the | grass on the church yard. ‘ The cuisine of Trinidad in the Brit {ish West Indies is a mixture of British, ‘American.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS (Continued from page 1) surrounding counties where buses are owned and operated by the Board. To try to imJ)rove the tranlfiommon system and reduce the costs, the Board is now in the ?roceu of buying, own lnfi and operating all school buses. All ‘adjoining counties except Clay have such 2 %lan and are able to operate ‘with... the State allotment for trans portation, g During the six months from January 1, 1958 to June 30, 1958, the Board operated without borrowing any money; however, to pay teachers and utility bills for July and A\é&l}lst. it was necessary to borrow $15,000.00 at 5 percent interest due the First State Bank on December 20, 1958. The State sent $450.282.00 for teach ers’ salaries and $11,959.00 for adminis trative and su'Fervising expenses dur ing 1957-'58.. Those figures were ar rived at on the basis of the average ‘daily attendance which provided for 65 white and 73 colored teachers. How ever the Board employed 76 white and 73 colored teachers. Adding that num ber of extra teachers has meant that teachers salaries and administrative costs have amounted to $509,145.00. The extra amount gaid by the Early County system is $46,904.00. The Su%erintendent has recommend ed that the Board ret}‘uire schools to operate with the teachers earned by average daily attendance as do almost all rural counties where population is decreasing. Until that is done the Board will have to continue to borrow money. You will be interested to know that for Earlg County Schools the State sent $739,992.00 under the Minimum Foundation Progam for Education. Of that amount the Counti_Ppays $46,- 558.00. In addition to the MFPE money, school taxes paid the Board by Mrs. Yates amounts to $73,935.54 plus the amount reported in January, 1958. Another progressive step taken by the Board was the employment of an instructional supervisor for the white schools and a Jeanes supervisor for colored schools. Mrs. Mary Miller Mar tin of Edison has accepted the former work, and Kate Slaton, wife of John Slaton, has agreed to do the work in the Negro Schools. Salaries and travel ex(;)enses for both supervisors are pro vided by the State without additional exxense to the count&. gain, be assured at every effort is being made to provide an adequate program of education for each child in the county. Respectfully submitted, (Miss) Annie M. Grier. Superintendent’s Report to The 5 Grand Jury : January 20, 1958 I Early County Schools | Dear Sirs: i - ~ This report is respectfulg submitted in order to comply with Code 32-1014 on Page 44 of Georgia School Laws. : ~ First, since the term of Mr. F. B. 'Melton will expire on April 30, 1958, 'the Board of Education requests you to reappoint Mr. Melton or name a suc cessor to his place. Next, in order that you may have a better understanding of the financial condition of the Board and the factors producing such a condition, a cop} of the report submitted to the Grand Jury in July, 1957, is also provided you at this time. You will see in that report that the operating surplus of the Board was reduced only $809400 during the fis cal school year of July 1, 1955 to July 1, 1956; however, during the last six months of 1956, that surplus was reduc ced $33.479.00, leaving only $12,690.00. 'Also, the reserve fund for capital im provements, $29,200.00 was all spent except $1,386.00. Looking at the money spent for in structional materials, you will see that I'practically the same amount was used | during the six months prior to Janu lary 1, 1955 to July 1, 1956. Repairs, la bor and materials amounted to $8,037.- 00 more during the same six months than during the prior fiscal year; at ithe same time $228 dollars more for janitorial supplies was spent than for the entire year mentioned above. Money for insurance premiums in six months exceeded the prior whole year by $2,309.00. Such reckless spending has resulted in debts for the Board and added to the difficultg of adequately providing for schools during the next two years, at least. You may be interested to know why and how the $10.000.00 borrowed from the First State Bank on April 30, 1957, was paid on June 28, 1957. To comply with Georgia School Laws (Code 32- 921) W. L. Stone, Atttorney for the Board, approved the loan on condition ,it be repaid before the fiscal year lended June 30, 1957. When the State sent money for the July 1, 1957 pay roll, the Superintendent used $10,080.- 56 of the amount sent, to pay the loan with interest. This is legal, according to Code 32-923. | Then it was necessary to borrow more money to meet the pay roll for July . 1,.1087. On July .2, 1857, the Board borrowed the sum of $15,000.00. with interest at 5 percent payable to |the Bank of Early on December 20, 1957. The loan with interest in the amount of $15350 dollars was paid !when due from school tax money re ceived from Mrs. Gladys Yates, Tax Commissioner. i As to income, the.

This is known as the burning rate. When the burning rate is high, rates go up. When it is low, rates go down. Insurance compafiies use experience over a five year period as a basis for rates. When the figures for the years 1952-1956 became available they showed that Georgia’s insured fire losses during the period were $70,000,000. This inerease of more than $26,000,000 over the years 1947-1951, plus increased operating costs made the recent rate inerease neces sary. This was the first increase in Georgia’s fire insur ance rates since 1948. During this 10 year period, rates had been reduced eight times because of the low burning rate. Even with the recent rate in creases, Georgia’s fire insurance c-+ts are still 169, below those in effect in 1948.
