News from
your
Pharmacist
Hoard
Medical authorities and
law enforcement officials are
alarmed over the increasing
use of “goof balls” and “pep
pills” by teenagers. Authori
ties have good reason for
concern since the unpre
scribed use of these drugs
can lead to drug addiction.
Goof balls are Barbiturates
and pep pills are ampheta
mines. Both are available
through legal channels only
upon prescription from a
physician. However, these
drugs are being obtained by
criminals through illegal
means and are sold to
teen-agers who take them for
“kicks.”
The compounding and
dispensing of drugs is our
business —a very serious
business. We follow your
doctor's prescription to the
letter and you should ta'ke
only the prescribed dosages.
Allow us to safely compound
your prescriptions.

Brown Rice
Brown rice is the whole,
unpolished grain without
husks and a small amount of
bran removed. It has a nut
like flavor and a slightly
chewy texture. It’s excellent
for use in dressings and stuf
fings. Remember, the life of
brown rice on the pantry
shelf is limited due to the oil
content of the bran.

A letter to His Majesty,
the Chairman of Butts
County Commissioners -
and an appeal to the
decent people of the
county.
WHY will a citizen have
to write three times and
wait nine months to get
the access road crossing
repaired to his own
house? How long will it
take to rebuild a bridge so
that he can work his land?
I must be barking up the
wrong tree. Will thg
person in charge please
contact me?
WHY do we have zoning
laws, if your majesty
intends to interpret and
manipulate them as you
see fit for the benefit of
your fortunate chosen
few? Where does this
leave those who are not in
your favor? Nowhere else
but in the hands of your
whipping boy, his honor
the tax commissioner - to
muddy their names in the
newspaper; to contact
lending institutions with
out advising them (as in
my case); to pressure
them, to sell off their
property and destroy
their life savings. While
at the same time, he
promises to work with
them in every way
possible. However, before
he can do so, he, your
loyal servant, must seek
your advice for any
changes in your favorite
list. My offer to pay the
previous owner’s two
years (74-75) of back
taxes and my current 1976
and 1977 taxes totaling
close to $20,000 over a
twelve month period is
certainly not acceptable
to you.
WHY? Haven’t I made
your favorite list yet?
Prejudice is a product of
ignorance. I urge you to
take a second look at your
business voting record. Is
this a way to run a
progressive county? My
only consolation is that
such hospitality is only
reserved to unwelcome
newcomers. Yet, the
wheels turn and someday
some of you decent people
might have to share his
unfavored list with me.
Thank you.

For the past 11 years we
have written the weekly
column “WHATSOEVER
THINGS”.
In June we left our pulpit
and began a special ministry
with the National Federation
for Decency. We have thus
far spent all our time trying
to improve the content of
television programming.
This job has become so
time consuming that we find
it impossible to continue to
write WHATSOEVER
THINGS. It is with a deep
regret that we bring to an end
the column.
Thank you for your
kindness in running the
column. We ask your prayers
as we enter anew field of
work. Television, we feel, has
become one of—if not the
most-destructive forces in
our society. Violence, vul
garity, and profanity seem to
be the order of the day.
Again, thank you for the
privilege of going into the
homes of your readers. I
shall forever be grateful for
that high honor.

Fur Trapping
Brings Millions
To Georgia
Georgia fur brought more
than $2 million to the state’s
trappers and hunters last
year, according to figures
received by the Department
of Natural Resources.
Terry Kile, Chief of the
Department’s Game Man
agement Section, indicates
this is a continued upward
trend of recent years brought
on primarily by the increas
ed prices paid for fur as well
as the effects of a depressed
economy. The ' number of
licensed trappers increased
in the State last year by 33
percent to a record of just
over 1,000.
Kile indicates that studies
concluded that around 40
percent of Georgia's fur
bearers die from natural
deaths each year, either
through starvation, disease,
or old age. Many animals
also fall prey to larger
animals such as bobcats,
foxes and wild dogs. “Trap
pers and hunters actually
take less than 10 percent, of
the fur bearing population”,
Kile says.
Trappers last year re
ceived $860,000 for raccoon
pelts alone. Grey fox brought
$550,000 while otters brought
$126,000. Opossum brought
$60,000. mink: $52,000.
Almost all Georgia fur is
exported from the State
before it is used in the
apparel industry. Georgia
furs are normally lighter
because of the warmer
southern climate resulting in
their use in larger garments
such as coats. Heavier
midwestern and northern fur
is used primarily for collars
and trims.
