THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1938
A Great Day and a Great Cause!
January 29 will be a red-letter
day in Georgia. In accordance with
resolutions adopted by the Legisla
fture, Governor Rivers
has proclaimed it “a
State holiday for the
celebration of the
birthday of that
great humanitarian,
Franklin D. Roose
velt” and for contri
butions to the hu
mane cause which he has done so
much to speed forward—-the con
quest of infantile paralysis.
The entire country will take part
in this observance and in providing
funds for the National Foundation
through which the fight against in
fantile paralysis is directed and uni
fied. But Georgia has a peculiar
interest in the occasion and in the
cause. It was in this State, Pres
ident Rooevelt’s Southern home
state, that the now far-reaching
work of the National Foundation
had its beginning years ago, at
iWarm Springs. There was kindled
the first flame of a mighty beacon
©f hope. Georgians are gratefully
proud of that history. They welcome
the renewed opportunity to pay
their tribute to the character of the
heroic American behind it and to
do their full part by the benefaction
which he founded.
Georgia’s alloted quota of the
fund to be raised on the President’s
birthday this year is one hundred
ana forty-one thousand dollars. It

will be used, with contributions
from the other States, for the four
major activities of the infantile pa
ralysis campaign—research work,
epidemic relief, care of sufferers
and hospital treatment. A recent
survey of seven thousand, five hun
dred and fifty-seven crippled chil
dren in Georgia showed that the
most common cause of their disa
bilities was infantile paralysis. All
who have a heart to help these little
ones and tens of thousands like
them the country over, all who
would like to see the future of child
hood safeguarded against this long
baffling disease should look forward
to January 29 and join the ranks of
happy givers.
Throughout the week preceding
that date there will be divers oppor
tunities for giving. In the schools
“Birthday” buttons will be present
ed to pupils who contribute ten cents
or more, and each community will
conduct programs in which all of its
people can co-operate. Plans for
Atlanta and Fulton County are un
der the direction of the ever-loyal
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
which confidently expects that Ful
ton’s quota of seventeen thousand
dollars will be more than doubled.
All Georgia’s response should be in
keeping with the merits of the cause
to be served and with the place
which Franklin D. Roosevelt holds
in the hearts of her people.—Atlan

LOANS WILL BE MADE AVAIL
ABLE TO FARMERS DESIRING
PUREBRED BREEDING STOCK.
TO BOOST HOG INDUSTRY
The Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service and the Georgia Bank
ers Association have launched a joint
campaign to increase the production
of hogs in Georgia.
Announcement of the co-operative
effort is contained in a special edi
tion of a bulletin entitled “Growing
Hogs in Georgia.” The bulletin,
which outlines the scientific methods
of raising hogs and gives the proper
crop rotations for year-around hog
pastures, was prepared by the Ex
tension Service for distribution by
individual Georgia banks that are
members of the state Bankers’ Asso
ciation.
Walter S. Cothran, of Rome, pres
ident of the Bankers’ Association,
said member banks in the state had
agreed to give special consideration
to applications from farmer clients
for loans to finance the production
of hogs.
“These loans,” Mr. Cothran said,
“are to be available to established
farmers with good credit records
who agree to purchase purebred
breeding stock and raise the hogs
according to the production methods
recommended by the Georgia Agri
cultural Extension Service. In some
cases, the loans may be made in ad
dition to the regular lines of credit
the farmer may now be receiving
from his bank.”
Walter S. Brown, director of the
Agricultural Extension Service, said
all county agents had been asked
to co-operate with their local banks
in assisting farmers who may want to
increase their present hog production
or who may want to start raising
#•
hogs wit hthe aid of the special swine
loans.
Brown said that hog production in
the state should continue to expand
as rapidly as adequate home grown
feed and pasture are available. He
said this is the only way to build the
industry on a sound basis.
