Newspaper Page TextTHE PEOPLE’S FORUM Some say that we’re in a recession; does that cause you to worry about a depression? • ■ * ML LOUISE POTTS Sure, the high cost of living vs. the lack of jobs is creating a panic condition. \ Timely Tips For Farm And Home Owners Hr MILLARD DANIEL, JR. Batts County Extension Afsnt FALL AND WINTER SHRUB PLANTING Many gardeners mistaken ly believe they must wait until spring arrives to plant shrubs. Actually, shrubs can be planted in fall and winter in this county. In fact, there are several advantages to doing it then. First, fall and winter planting allows the shrub to establish its root system in the new soil long before the hot dry weather of summer arrives. This lessens trans planting shock. Research at Cornell Uni versity shows that shrub roots can grow at a soil temperature of 45 degrees although the top of the plant does not grow at this temperature. Another advantage of fall or winter planting is that the gardener can select pleasant working temperatures dur ing this time and thus is likely to do a better job of soil preparation. Gardeners will also find that nurserymen have more time to offer advice in the fall and winter than in the spring rush season. Additional in formation on planting shrubs can be obtained from my office. COMPOST HEAP FROM LEAVES Who says money doesn’t grow in trees? “Autumn leaves are va luable material for the gardener.” “They make excellent compost or mulch. Best of all, the only price is a little elbow grease.” Compost improves the structure of any type soil. Added to sandy soil, compost helps conserve moisture, and clay soils retain air better when compost is added. There are a number of ways to make compost. The one that is most popular is “the lazy man’s method.” Simply pile autumn leaves in an outdoor bin. Then forget about them and let Mother Nature run the show. “Stack the leaves in October. By May the com post is ready.” If you don’t have a bin, construct a simple one from four treated fence posts and chicken wire. Make the stack as big as possible. During the winter it will shrink to a third of the original height. HUNTER SAFETY COURSES REQUIRED Hunters going out of the state on a hunting trip need to check the hunting require ments in the state where they are going. Bob Carlton of the Univer sity of Georgia Cooperative JAMES WATTS, JR. Yes, I’m worried, it means unemployment for many. Cancer Incidence in County Lower Than National Average < Special to the Progress-Argus) New York, Nov. 9 Con cern about cancer has been heightened in Butts County, especially among local wo men, because of the recent mastectomy operations on Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Rocke feller. People are asking what progress is being made toward controlling the di sease. They are interested in the mortality rate locally as compared with that in other areas. Questions like these are being raised in every part of the country. Nationally, a seemingly contradictory si tuation is revealed in Government reports. On the one hand they show that doctors are curing a larger proportion of cancer patients than ever before. On the other hand, more people are contracting the disease and the number of deaths is increasing. The answer is to be found elsewhere, points out the American Cancer Society. It is due to the fact that fewer people are being struck down by the infectious diseases, which were once the big killers, with the result that more of them are living to an advanced age, where they are more susceptible to cancer. The degree of cancer mortality in Butts County is indicated in the annual reports of the U.S. Public Health Service. Its last three annuals show an average of 15 cancer deaths per year in the local area. Not included are those involving non-residents. This amounts to a rate of THANK YOU The Henderson Jr. High Athletic Boosters Club wish es to extend a special thank you to the following who, along with many Booster Club members, made the Chickenque a huge success with their donations of time and merchandise: Red & White, Cawthon Bait & Tackle Shop, PMC E-Z Mart, Jones Bros., James Biles and. Sunbeam Bread, Superior 1 Cleaners, Jim Trimble, Ben nie Fletcher, Julian Marsh and Joe Norris. Extension Service in Athens reminds hunters that 21 states and Four Canadian Provinces require successful completion of certain hunter safety courses by hunters. Some states require proof from all first time license buyers, others will exempt those whose date of birth came before a specified cut of time. Our Extension Service wildlife specialist points out that requirements do vary from state to state, so check before starting out on that out of state hunting trip. THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA JEAN ROSSER Yes, if things don’t start going forward rather than backward, I think we’ll see a depression. 146 deaths per 100,000 population. It compares with 160 per 100,000 in the United •States and with 124 in- the State of Georgia. As for the annual loss in the period attributed to breast cancer, it was one locally. Nationally, cancer re mains the number two killer, second only to heart disease. In Butts County, in the three-year period, some 14 percent of all deaths were due to cancer, the figures THOUGHTS FOR SHARING BY EILENE FINDLEY Butts County Extension Home Economist Be proud of Butts County!

Elsewhere in the country the average was 17 percent. Currently, about one per son out of every three who get cancer is being cured, states the American Cancer Society. It defines “cured” as a five-year survival after treatment with no recur rence of the disease.

NEWS from your PHARMACIST Danny | Hoard There are many forms of allergies and individuals may be allergic to one thing or many. One of the most common disorders is being allergic to some particular food, or combination of foods. Very often someone, is only mildly allergic to certain foods and this will not show up unless two or more of the foods are consumed. It’s these strange circum stances which makes aller gies hard to identify. This is the reason that extensive testing is very often required before a person’s allergies can be identified. The definition and treatment of allergies is a complex medical science. Compounding medicines is another complicated busi ness .... one that we know best.
