A card has come into this de
partment with these words only:
“Keep smiling, it makes people
wonder what you've been up to.”

It's no wonder that fellow
said television is a “vast waste
land”. The best thing I've seen
this season is that commercial
about Bull-of-the-Woods chew
ing tobacco.

Happy birthday to a 'valued
reader and a sweet lady, Mrs.
George Gee, Sr.,, 1704 Walnut
Street, Hopkinsville, Ky. Mrs.
Gee is one of our readers, along
with another dear friend, Mrs.
O. H. Mosely, of Jakin, who is
always happy when Blakely’s
football season is over, so that
they can read something in this
column other than football. Mrs.
Gee will be 81 on December 5.
Mrs. Gee and Mrs. Mosely, let
me tell you something. I am will
ing to wager a small sum, say
a diet-right cola, (I'm on a diet,
you see) that if you two ladies
lived in Blakely, it wouldn’t be
but just a day or two before you
both would be dyed-in-the-wool
Bobcat fans. The way our Bob
cats play they capture the hearts
of all. For instance, one of the
most faithful of the faithful is a
sweet friend of mine, Mrs. G. M.
Sparks, who I expect is a little
older than either of you. Until
this year she never missed a
game—at home or away from
home. And the saddest thing of
the whole season to me' is not
losing that championship game
at Hawkinsville last week, but
the fact that Mrs. Sparks was
not able to attend a game this
year. But T hear she is on the
mend and I look forward to see
ing her nn the front row when
those ’'Cats come roaring out
next September to open the
season.

An app-rriated long distance
telephone call has come to this
department. from W. D. Wilson,
of -Hawkinsville. Mr. Wilson
called up to sav what a good
team and loyal fans Blakely had.
He said it was a great pleasure
for Hawkinsville to plav hosts
to such nice peovle, and he hop
ed they would have this pleas
ure again some time. Thanks.
W. D, but we want to be host
next time.

The Blakely Chamber of Com
merce, in co-operation with the
State Department of Labor, is
conducting a labor survey for
Early county and this section.
This is being done to determine
if sufficient labor is available to
bring in certain industries. It is
a very essential survey. Those
needing jobs or seeking jobs,
are requested to go to the court
house, beginnine December 10,
and register. Herman Richard
son. the hard working president
of the Chamber. urges every in
terested person to take the time
and file his or her name as a po
tential worker. And bv the way,
now is a good time for those
who do not belong to the Blake
ly Chamber of Commerce, to
join. This organization is work
ing real hard to promote new
factories for Blakelv., and it
must have more members and
more money if it is to do a good
iob. Herman Richardson is giv
ing the iob a lot of his time, but
if Blakely is to continue to move
forward, we must have a full
time experienced director. And
it will take money to get one.
Every business in Blakely, no
matter how small, ought to be
a member of the Chamber of
Commerce. , ~

Cotton Vote Choices Defined
Just what a “yes” or a “no” will
mean in the December 11 referendum
on cotton marketing quotas was ex
plained today by Leroy Haddock,
chairman, Early ASC Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Com
mittee. All farmers who engaged in
the production of uplan cotton in 1962
are eligible to vote in the referendum.
The Chairman mentioned the fact
that the Administration plans to
recommend new cotton legislation
early in 1963. It is anticipated, how
ever, that such legislation would sup
plement rather than substantially
change the basic program choices to
be presented for grower's determina
tion in the December 11 referendum.
“If at last two-thirds of the growers
who vote in the referendum approve
of quotas,” he declared, “then the
quotas will be in effect for the 1963
upland cotton crop, marketing penal
ties will apply to any ‘exctss’ cotton
produced on a farm and price support
at a level within range of 65 to 90
percent of parity will be available to
farmers who comply with their farm
acreage allotment.
“On the other hand, if more than
one-third of the growers who vote
appose the quotas, then there will be
no quotas and penalties applicable
to the 1963 upland cotton crop, and
price support to farmers who comply
with their farm acreage allotments
will be available at 50 percent of
parity, as directed by law.
“Allotments are not affected by the
outcome of the balloting. They will
remain in effect—whether or not quo-‘
tas are approved—as a means of de
‘ermining eligibility for the available
price support.” ‘
Mr. Haddock pointed out that, while
the Secretary of Agriculture is di
rected by law to proclaim quotas for
the next crop when the cotton supply
exceeds normal, it is the growers
themselves who decide whether or not
quotas shall be used. Previous votes
on the subject have ben outstandingly
favorable. Marketing quotas for the
1962 upland cotton crop were approv
-2d by 699 percent of the growers
voting.
Allotments for individual farms will
be made available to growers within
‘the next few days, so that farmers
may have the information prior to
the December 11 referendum.

Needs Protection
Aguinst Lockjaw
g jaw
By Medical Association of Georgia !
We all risk having injuries through '
which lockjaw or tetanus germs mayj
enter the body, so it behooves us to
keep our immunization against this
dread disease up to date. |
Lockjaw is caused by toxins, or poi
sons, produced by bacteria which live
in dirt and the intestinal tracts of
cattle horses and man. Soil contami
|nated with excretions from infected
|animals or people is most likely to
lcontain tetanus germs. They get into
the body through so-called “dirty”
wounds. Any wound that becomes
contaminated by infected soil may
| harbor lockjaw germs. They grow
Where there is little oxygen, so deep
puncture-type wounds are especially
atiractive to them. The nature of the
injury and the possibility of exposure
to tetanus germs are most important
in determining the probable danger of
tetanus infection than the size of the
wound.
In practice, however, tetanus im
munization is given when there is
even the slightest chance of infection.
Physicians treat tetanus with injec
tions of antitoxin. This material, made
from the blood of a horse, contains
antibodies against tetanus. The anti
bodies were made by the horse as a
protection o2gainst tetanus germs. In
jected into man, the antibodies circu
late in the blood and attack tetanus
germs in the tissues.
But the use of tetanus antitoxin has
two distince disadvantages. Many
people suffer allergic reactions to an
titoxin from the horse. Some of these
ractions are very unpleasant and, oc
casionally, they are very serious. The
other disadvantage is that it is very
difficult to judge just how much teta
lnus antitoxin a patient with a given
injury needs. It is difficult to esti
| mate reliably the number and potency
of tetanus germs in the patient's body.l
A better method of fighting tetanus |
is the use of tetanus toxoid which
stimulates the body to develop its
own antibodies. Then, when a person
is injured, he needs only a booster in
jection. Antibodies developed from
tetanus toxoid are semipermanent and
a person so immunized has some de
gre of immunity throughout life. 1
Tetanus toxoid is included in t.he‘
“three in one" or “triple vaccine”
shots routinely given to small chil
dren. The shots are usually given in
an initial series of two or three shots
followed by a booster shot every few
years and at the time of an injury.
Very few reactions occur with teta
nus toxoid and the few that do cccur
are usually very minor,
Tetanus begins about seven days
after injury which permits germs to
enter the body. The poison these
germs produce is one of the most pow
rful known. Even with the best of
treatment. many patients with tetanus
die,
Doc MAG Says:
1. Everyone—child and adult—l
should be protected against tetanusf
before a dangerous injury occurs.!
When this is done and immunization
is kept at a high level with booster
shots, another booster can be given
at the time of injury and the patient
will be effectively and safely pro
tected.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to express my appreciation
and thanks to each one for all the
flowers, visits, cards, gifts, prayers
‘and phone calls during my illness and
siay in the hospital. They were a big
‘help to me. May God bless each of
you.
