Direct Set Here Doctors of Athens have an nouncd the beginning of a doc tor's Directory where patients can receive information as to how long their family physician will be out, where hé is, names of other doc tors available, and other informa tion by calling telephone number 4300. The service will be open every day from 7 a.m. to 11 p. m. and will be available ?« hours a day if it becomes necessary i case one or.more doctdrs are out and information concerning-them can not be obtained from their ‘office -¢1 _home. : - The directory is being opened, starting Saturday, for the conven ience of both patients and doctors. When a doctor cannot be reached at his home or office he will call the directory and inform one of ‘the three operatorc where he will be and how long he will be gone. I{ a patient calls for him at his office or home and can’t get him; then the patient may secure the information by calling the direc tory. If a doctor can t > reached at his office or home or if someone at either place can give the infor mation on his whereabouts and how long he will be out then the directory is not informed, but if information can’t be obtained‘ from either place the directory will be'informed. Operators at the directory will keep a record of all calls, infor mation given, and other matters. As soon as a doctor becomes available he wiil caii the directo ry and find out any matters cen cerning him and his patients. An example of how the directo ry works: Doctor A has to leave town for another city and no one will be at his office or home to give informa- | tion to patients, so he calls the di- I rectory and tells them where he will be and how long he will be ' away. ; Any person needing the doctor first calls his office and home. After getting no answer there the patient calls the directory and gets the- information necessary.. l ‘On arriving back in the city Doctor A immediately calls the directory and obtains all informa tion on calls which he has receiv ed at the directory: ! SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY ® re-Marital Law - tidtect oday )&' P& 2 W +NTA, Aug. 25.—(AP)—If you're shopping for a Georgia ";1, .age license today it’ll take the customary fee plus two slips ’\;b paper to get it. gfb The slips of paper—required by law since last midnight—are certificates showing you have taken your pre-marital blood test examination for venereal disease. The tests are Georgia’s means of putting the brakes on hasty, spur-of-the-moment marriages—llong an attraction drawing many would-be-weds froin bordering states—and combatting syphilis, Generally speaking, the effect will be a two or three day wait ing period. It'll take that long, ordinarily to run the tests said Dr. James F. Sellers, state health director. But in an effort to keep the marirage business booming, a clinie at Rossville announced plans to run the tests through on the double and still allow altar-bound couples to be spliced in less than two hours. “There’s nothing we can do about that,” said Dr. Sellers, who termed the law “a long step forward-—even if it's not perfect.” The law undoubtedly will have its greatest effect along the state’s borders. For years it has been a common practice for cou= ples from Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and Alabana to elope across the line into Georgia where there was no bar to a sheedy wedding. All the states bordering: Georgia have blood test or waiting period laws. ; ? Yesterday, with the deadline drawing near, several Georgia cities reported a brisk business at the marriage license bureaus. Atlanta, Savannah and Macon noted a sharp upswing. Others, like Augusta, said business was normal, e, A ~ ! { 5 5 % 4 | | v : 5 : Gl 5 A ; o e : ; T e s aialea™ W R s Lo S by . ;ﬁ,&fé‘ e \, RS ET Eon f T : b S g U e, %’y g o ¢ % 5 5 R £ e e e, Y R LR B o 8 : % % & S M e i $ - S 7 e ¥ § i 3 R { : ’\&7 % = s B Ko R e O : : i : i B % e B !

Developed after three years of research, the mechani cal wizard will do in an hour a series of operations which now take weeks. “The machine is capable of open~ ing a new era in peanut harvest ing,” said Director George K. King of the experiment station, “The new harvesting procedure will place the peanut in the class with the many other fully mechan ized agricultural crops.” King planned to show the harv ester today to a group of agricul tural leaders. It was designed and perfected by two station agricul tural engineers, J. L. Sheperd and W. D. Kenney. it ; i Under normal conditions, two men can harvest an acre of peanuts an hour with the machine. In one operation, the tractor-drawn giant will dig two rows of plants from the ground, seperate the nuts from the vines, bag the peanuts and toss the vines back on the field. In recent years, Georgia’s crop has been worth about $100,000,000 annually. Millions of dollars in weather damage can be prevented by the machine’s time-saving op erations. ) The present commogl method of harvesting involves a lot of slow hand labor in digging, shaking, stacking and picking the nuts. Most farmers now dig the nuts with tractors. Then the plants are stacked manually around posts to dry. After the nuts dry—and that takes considerable time—machines are moved in to separate goobers from the vines. Heavy Rains Heavy rains in 1947 ruined a third of Georgia’s crop. The nuts rotted in the fields before they could be harvested. State agri cultural officials estimated Ibe rot ATHENS, GA., THURSDAY, AUCUST 25, 1949. PEANUT COMBINE HARVESTER DEVELOPED loss at $30,000,000 Georgia, the nation’s No. 1 pea nut producer, has an estimated 1,236,000 acres in the plants this year. Farmers already are dig ging their crops, but it will be the middle of September before the nuts are dry enough to be picked. After the new machine picks the peanuts, they can be loaded into drying bins and dried by forced air in 48 to 72 hours. Alabama’s acreage this year is estimated at 48,000 and Flori da’s at 316,000, i Georgia’s production last year was 818,300,000 pounds, almosts 200,000,000 pounds above the 10- year average. King said the harvester. probably will be manufactured by one or more of the present ‘builders of peanut pickers and equipment.

HOME EDITION New Storm Changes Direction MIAMI, Aug. 25 J—(AP)— South Florida today was put on the alert for a hurricane, ‘ An erratic hurricane in the At~ lantic had recurved to the wesi north-west during the morning after following a northwest course for a time, . The new course caused Grady Norton, chief storm forecaster at Miami, to inform the northern Ba haoma Island _to take hurricane precautions and southern Florida to stand by on the alert. The storm at 11 a. m. was 480 miles east-southeast of Miami, moving at 156 miles an houwr. Norton said the erratic hurri cane apparently was under the in fluence of a high pressure system. The storm’s center at 11 a. m. was near latitude 23.7 north, longi tude 73 west. It was a hurricane of moderate strength, with winds of 85 miles ‘an hour near the center and gales extending about 150 miles north ‘and. east of the center, ~The hurricane had increased slightly in intensity during the might. Norton had observed earlier that the tropical disturbance was ‘erratic and apparently under the \inﬂuence of a high pressure sys tem which seemingly blocked its ‘northwestward course, veering ‘back to its original west-north westward direction; " ¢ Harry's Hurricane was written off by the . Weather Bureau as storm No. 2 'weered about pecu i larly. i : Norton said storm No. 2 played a few tricks during the night, de wveloped an elongated center and failed to follow a true course. -“We are watching 'it like @ hawk,” he added, . A Navy hurricane hunter prob~ €¢ the disturbance and detected its latest change -of course, which would take it through the north ern Bahamas during the next 24 to 36 hours. Meantime, Harry’s Hugricane, so named because its brief threat to Florida coincided with Presi dent Truman’s . visit to Miami, Monday, was traveling due east. A' 9:30 a, m. (EST) it was eepters ed 800 miles east of Atlantic City and 400 miles southeast of Cape Cod, Mass. “We can write that ofe off” said Norton. “All threat to land 235" ended as far as it is eoncern~ Harry’s Hurricane brushed Cape Hatteras with 67-mile winds and whipped the Diamond Shoals Lightship, 20 miles off Hatteras, with 115-mile winds yasterday. Bahama Outpost The other disturbance, which was reported headed toward the southeast Florida ecoast, curved northward and sm;ed north of Turks Island,ea outpost of the Bahamas, The Weather Bureau here said at 5 a. m, (EST) today that no surface ship observations near the center of the storm had been re ceived, but that its ;inrevio- move ment would place it latitude 23.5 rorth and longitude 1&c about 150 miles north-northwest of Purks Teland,
