Use Thanksgiving
To Teach Real
Family Values
By JUANELLE HARRELL
Early County H. D. Agent
While teaching children the cost of
things, be sure they are also taught
the worth of lasting values.
Thanksgiving is a good season to
stress the worth of values that cost no
money but make life most worthwhile.
Our American heritage, Christian vir
tues and the worth of an individual
are some of the real values that are
well worth the time needed to perpet
uate.
Family discussions may be held on
some of the Christian virtues such as
the worth of Chrisitanity, honesty,
kindness, gentleness, fair play. good
manners and love of country. Children
can usually give good examples to sub
stantiate their discussions.
Children love to hear stories about
the history of our first settlers. When
stories have a family connection, there
is special appeal.
A greater appreciation of the con
veniences we have today can be de
veloped by hearing stories of the times
when the only winter heat for the
home was a log fire; the only light
was a torch or a candle light, and
news of current events took days
and even weeks to travel from coast
to coast.
Early American songs are most in
teresting when their history is given
before the family sings them. A child
might love to make it his contribu
tion to Thanksgiving to look up the
history of several songs.
Adults and children enjoy entering
into the real spirit of Thanksgiving.
Even the very young ones can help
with the decoration of the table. Very
young children may be able only to
help collect pine cones, straw or
colored leaves for the table, but it is
important that they help.
Be sure to give every. member of
the family an opportunity to express
the many things for which he is
thankful on this special day.
Thanksgiving can be a day of “real
Thanksgiving” with only a little time,
thought, and planning. It can be a day
that will be cherished for many years
to come in the hearts of your loved
ones.
BLAKELY F. H. A.
One of the projects the FHA has
selected for November is for each
home room in high school to have a
“Thanksgiving Basket”. These baskets
are decorated for the festive occasion,
Thanksgiving. In each room there is
a homeroom chairman who makes the
baskets and then the whole room
brings food such as canned goods or
fruit to fill the basket. These baskets
are judged on their attractiveness and
a prize will be presented to the win
ner. After the judging, these baskets
will be presented to families in the
community to brighten their Thanks
giving,

young people,” was the subject of a
talk made to the members of the
Lions Club Tuesday. The speaker was

vationist, with the Extension Service
of the University of Georgia. He was
introduced by Lion Paschel Jenkins,
program chairman,

soring on November 25, afternoon and
evening performances. Guests at the
meeting Tuesday included A. J. Sin
gletary, John C. Holman, Dr. J. H.

Patent “Quiet Pills”
Of Doubtful Value;
Could Be Harmful
Purchasers of non-prescription sleep
ing pills and so-called tranquilizers are
being “penny wise and pound foolish,”
according to an article in Today'’s
Health magazine.
“The very fact that these ‘quiet pills’
can be bought over the counter should
be clue enough as to the doubtful bene
fits they can bring to anyone’s ten
sions,” the article in the current issue
of the American Medical Asszaciztion
magazine said.
True tranquilizers—such as beproba
mate and chlorpromazine—can be pur
chased only with a prescription. |
Antihistamines. such as methapyri
lene, are frequently used in over-the-!
counter “tranquilizers” because they
produce drowsiness as a side-effect.
Other drugs often combined with the
antihistamine—or with each other—
are mild sedatives; scopolamine, a mild
sedative, and such pain-killers as
salicylamide and acetophenatidin.
Could be Dangerous
The only reason the Food and Drug
Administration allows quiet pills to
be sold without a prescription is that
the amount of drugs in each dose is
well below what would ordinarily be
needed to produce untoward effects.
The danger lies in the fact that persons
who are not educated in pharmaceu
tics and who are disturbed may take
double or triple doses and perhaps
more often than recommended on the
label.
For example, high doses of bromides
taken over a long period of time can
cause habitation, or bromide intoxica
tion, the main symptom of which is
mental disturbance.
Scopolamine, if not used with care,
can cause an exaggerated sense of well
being, hallucinations. amnesia and de
lirium,
And antihistamines have other less
desirable side effects, including nau
sea, headache, and double vision.
The geratest benefit from quiet pills
probably comes from the suggestion
that they will help relieve nervous
ness and sleeplessness.
Don't Fool Yourself
Persons who buy such pills are de
luding themselves into thinking that
for a dollar o rtwo they can avoid pro
fessional treatment. Actually, they
stand the risk of aggravating their
mental turmoil and worsening their
condition. When they finally do con
sult a physician, they may require
more extensive treatinent than if they
had sought help in the first place.
Although difficulty in sleeping can
be a symptom of emotional upset, even
a good sleeper has trouble sleeping
about a tenth of ‘he time and the
easiest way to find sleep is to stop
worrying about it. Tensions. too, can
be a danger signal.
The best thing to do for sleepless
ness or tension is to see your doctor.
He will know whether you need a
specialist, or since most emotional up
sets are minor, he can probably treat
you himself.

Alfalfa Weevil
Stopped; Acreage
Expected To Rise
Georgia's acreage of alfalfa should
once again show an increase now that
an effective control has been found
for the alfalfa weevil, says P. J. Ber
geaux, agronomist of the University
of Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service,
Alfalfa acreage climbed from 15,000
to over 41.000 between 1954 and 1959,
he pointed out, as more and more farm
ers. particularly dairymen, realized
the importance of the legume as a
highly nutritious feed.
- In 1958, however, the alfalfa weevil
struck. 'By 1960 most of Georgia's
fields had been damaged and farmers
were reluctant to sow new fields. The
alfalca acreage remained at a stand
still.
Then entomologists came to the
rescue. They discovered that fall ap
plications of heptachlor would effec
tively control the-weevils the follow-‘
ing spring. Farmers who treated their
fields in the fall of 1960 were not
bothered by alfalfa weevils the fol
lowing spring.
A. C. Ewing, a Newton County
dairyman, was one of the farmers
who tried this method of control.
He did not have any weevil damage
in 1961 and used his fields for late
summer grazing after making four
cuttings of hay.
Mr. Ewing attributes his success
with alfalfa to weevil control and
proper liming and fertilization of fields
according to soil test recommendations.
He applied 1,000 pounds of borated
0-10-20 and 1,000 pounds of lime an
nually on all his alfalfa fields.
Mr. Bergeaux pointed out that
county agents throughout the state |
are prepared to make recommendations
on alfalfa weevil control.
CARD OF THANKS
I want to sincerely thank all my
friends and relatives for their prayers,
letters, cards, gifts, flowers and phone
calls while I was in Crawford Long
Hospital, Atlanta, and since my return
home. May God bless each of you.
Sincerely,
ROYCE RICHARDSON, Jr.

You've never seen anything like it, because there’s never
been anything like it . . . until today. On the outside
the new Ford Fairlane 500 measures a quick 197 inches
from stem to stern. A good foot shorter than the cars
from which it borrowed its name, it calls the snuggest
parking places home. At the same time, on the inside
the new Fairlane 500 is every inch as big as some of the
biggest Fords ever built.

ORGANIC MATERIALS
Burning leaves and other waste plant
materials is like burning money when
you have to turn around and buy or
ganic matter such as peat moss to
build the soil in the yard. Grass
and shrubbery trimmings can be turn
ed into excellent soil builders with
little effort and expense, says Exten
sion Horticulturist Gerald Smith.
