Britton, Louise 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. PHONE 775-7424 PARRISH DRUG CO. JACKSON. GA. W.

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.

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. Abdullah Riad 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. Donald E.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1977 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. CorfeiMafprCa 137 West Third St. WfWfrWSMH^ I wBBF \ wr m rfjjßKS t m m I , EZS 25-Year Pin Presented To C. W.
