NEWS from your
PHARMACIST J
There is one infection
which can be prevented by
the housewife when she
prepares food. This infection
is Trichinosis, which occurs
when someone eats infested
pork which has not been
cooked sufficiently. The only
way to make certain that
your family does not get
Trichinosis is to be sure that
you cook every piece of pork
until it is well done.
Pork is the only domestic
meat that is so affected. Beef
and other domestic meats
can be cooked to suit any
taste —from rare to well
done. So, be careful,
mothers, when preparing
pork. It would be better for
the meat to be too well-done
than to take a chance on an
infection.
You can always be certain
that you aren’t taking a
chance when you do business
at our pharmacy. We offer
fast, dependable service in
filling your every pharma
ceutical need. When you need
a prescription filled, see us.

Blood mobile Leaves County
11 Short of 112 Pint Quota
• The Spring visit of the
Atlanta Region Bloodmobile
to Jackson on Monday found
Butts Countians in a not-too
generous spirit for sharing
their blood and, as a result,
the County fell 11 pints short
of its quota of 112 pints.
One encouraging note was
that 76 percent of those
giving blood Monday were
under 40 years of age, which
should insure a continuation
of the free blood program in
Butts County for years to
come.

Jackson Brothers
Set Track Records
By STEVE FIGUEROA
Constitution Prep Editor
The White brothers from Jackson and the Spillman sis
ters from North Cobb have to be two
of the best family acts in prep track
MTe circles the state of Georgia has ever
K Dale White, the oldest of the three
Jackson brothers, recently won the shot
%, .-ifr- m put, the 440-yard dash, and ran legs on
pß** F two winning relay teams in a track
meet a ß ainst Newton County, while
brother Randolph set a school record
2 in the triple jump, finished third in
Figueroa both the h ‘B h and intermediate hurdles,
and ran legs on both relay teams.
The third White-Jerry—was second in the shot to
Dale.
Dale, who won the region in the shot last year despite
his 5-8, 147-pound frame, and his brothers combined to
lead Jackson to a 15-0 record against Class A competition
a year ago and make Tommy Carmichael’s squad a 'defi
nite region contender this year, too.
Meanwhile, at North Cobb, the combination of Yvette
and Nell Spillman has the girls’ track program off to a
good start this season. Yvette, a senior, helped her team
down Crestwood and Wills in a recent triple meet by win
ning the 440 in a school record time of 60.1, winning the
220 and anchoring the winning 440 relay team.
Little sister Nell didn’t do too badly herself, winning
the mile and the 880, both in school-record times. Her
5:27.7 clocking in the mile is just 3.5 seconds off the state
record of 5:24.2.
