GOVERNOR CITES STATE PROGRESS
IN SPEECH DEDICATING HOSPITAL
Governor Herman Talmadge cited the cooperative
hospital and health center movement as one of the great
est forward steps ever undertaken in Georgia public
health work as he dedicated Pierce county’s new hospital
last Wednesday before an estimated crowd of 1,500
persons.
“When this program is com
pleted,” the Governor stated,
“there will not be a community
in Georgia which is not in con
venient approach to one of these
institutions which are bringing
modern medical facilities for the
relief of suffering humanity.”
From November, 1948, up to
the present time, State, Federal
and local agencies have supplied
a total of over 54 million dollars
for hospital and health center
construction, the Governor said.

Painful Burns
On Face and Arms
Faye Brooks, Nahunta newsdealer,
suffered painful burns about the
face, neck and hands last Thursday
when he was burning some trash.
He poured gasoline on the trash
pile and tossed a lighed m?*ch onto
the gasoline-soaked trash. The fire
flashed up in an explosive manner
and burned his face and neck and
also ignited his hair. He burned his
hands putting out the fire on his
head.
Luckily his eyesight was not in
jured, although his eyebrows and
eyelashes were singed .
Talmadge Names
Child Born During
Blackshear Speech

madge spoke Wednesday dedi
cating Pierce county’s new
$350,000 hospital, a child was
born in the Blackshear Clinic,
across the street from the hos
pital, to Mr. and Mrs. Nathan
G. Dryden.
The baby, a seven pound, 10
ounce girl, is the youngest of
nine young Drydens .
Since their ninth was bom
within the sound of the Gov
ernor’s voice as he made his
dedication speech, the parents
expressed the wish that Gover
nor Talmadge should name the
child.
The Governor was contacted
and complied. He wired a reply
suggesting a name and stating
that he and Mrs. Talmadge
were sending a gift for the lit
tle girl.
His suggested name, which
was accepted by the parents:
Georgia.

pect is realized it will be the first

John W. Harris
Wins Honors on
Board His Ship
John W. Harris, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Harris, had an article
in his ship’s newspaper about him
on August 22. The article was as
follows;
“John-W. Harris, Seamon of O-L
Division, has the honor of being the
first man aboard since the York
town’s recommissioning to spot a
surface craft before the unfailing
eye of radar. And as such, he is en
titled to one free gedunk per day
for a period of a week.
“Harris, while on lookout watch,
sighted a small fishing vessel dead
ahead at 0900, Thursday, August 13.
Judging it to be of the type com
monly seen locally around the is
lands, he estimated it was approxi
mately eight miles away when he
sighted it through his binoculars.
“The seaman lookout from Na
hunta, Ga., thereby qualifies for the
title “Radar-eyes”, and becomes a
fullfledged member of the club —
a recently organized shipboard so
ciety whose only requirements for
membership is the ability to see
aircraft or vessels before they ap
pear on the ship’s radar screens.”
