In announcing these scholar

today: “We are pleased to of
fer, through these scholarships,
assistance toward the study of
forestry as a profession to two
outstanding high school gra

ina. It is our hope to attract lar

school seniors from our local
communities to enter the profes
sion of forestry.”
To be elegible fpr a scholar
ship, an applicant must meet the
following qualifications:
1. He must be a graduate of a

...a heart
too small for breaking
Here is a child’s world—balanced on faith, lighted by love,
warmed in the safety of a mother’s arms, a father’s smile.
Here is a world of little hearts, all too small for breaking.
What dark shadow could Cancer cast on such a sheltered
world? Well, there are some 160,000 children whom cancer
has robbed of their fathers. And more than 175,000 others
have had to learn to live without a mother.
Not even the young are safe, for Cancer yearly claims
more children from three to fifteen years of age than any
other disease. It strikes i^tyyo out of every tl)ree families.
It plays no favorites.
But there is hope...brave, bright hope, tor Cancer can
be conquered. The vast army led by the American Cancer
Society—scientists, doctors, technicians, volunteers—wage
daily war on man’s cruelest enemy.
You can help conquer cancer. With a check— to help
others. With an annual medical checkup— to help yourself.
Remember, every year some 75,000 men, women and
children win personal victories over Cancer —and live.
One of them might be you — or someone close and dear to
you. Will you help? We need you.

HD Members to
Aid in Fight
On Brucellosis
The cost of brucellosis is high
and in some instances the Geor
gia rural homemaker indirectly
is paying the cost.
Miss Eddye Ross, assistant as
sociate director of the Agricul
tural Extension Service, said to
day that money lost on these dis
eased animals often is money that
otherwise might have been spent
for a home freezer or a televi
sion set or other appliance for
the farm family.
Pointing to the new program
in Georgia which seeks to stamp
out brucellosis, Miss Ross said
rural women should be interest
ed in it, not only because of the
cash loss, but chiefly because it
is the source of infection which
causes undulant fever in humans.
She explained that the disease is
not spread from one person to
another but from an animal or
animals with brucellosis.
“Money has been made avail
able from federal and state
sources so that approved local
practicing veterinarians will
make the test upon request, at
no cost to the farmer. In addi
tion, when animals are found to
be infected and are condemned,
part of the loss involved will be
paid the owner,” Miss Ross said.
Farm families can take three
steps in cooperating in the drive
to eradicate the disease, Miss Ross
stated: Test animals, slaughter
those infected, and vaccinate
calves to build an immunity
against the disease.
Miss Ross urged Home Demon
stration clubs in the state to sup
port the program and encourage
the testing of animals on their
own farms.
Dairyman Frank W. Fitch, Sr„
Agricultural Extension Service,
stated, “A similar program is
underway in many states and
public health officials, livestock
farmers, veterinarians and farm
organizations are pulling together
to get this job done. Several
states have completed it and are
determined to keep their state
clean. It can be done.”

SAFETY POSTEE CONTEST
TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
By Bernice McCullar, Super
visor, Office of Information
IT’S THE LAW: Here are the
new laws about edu ca
tion, passed by the 1955 Legisla
ture, which may affect your
Mary Jane and Jimmy. (1) Child
ren can now start to school if
they will be six before the first
of November of the year in which
they want to start. (2) Your
local Board of Education, former
ly required by law to meet on
the first Tuesday of each month,
may now set its own meeting
date any time between the first
and the fifteenth of the month.
But after this date is decided
upon, it may not »be changed for
a year. (3) It’s now a felony for
school officials in Georgia to
spend any money on schools thal
are not segregated. (4) The fovfrth
law is contingent upon having
enough money to put it into ef
fect. It is this: state money is
now allotted on a basis of last
year’s enrollment. This enroll
ment, will be checked semi-an
nually, thus "keeping funds and
children as nearly balanced as
possible. . -A
HOW’S YOUR FAMILY LIFE?
Patterns of family life in Geor
gia will get a keen and search
ing look March 24-26 when the
sixty organizations that make up
the Family Life Conference will
send representatives to their con
vention at Wesleyan in Macon.
Miss Inez Wallace, state supervi
sor of homemaking for the State
Department of Education, is in
charge of the program.
SCHOOL NOTE: When the
statewide schoolbuilding program
is finished, we will have 1,648
schools. Before this, we had 3,906
—some in shacks.
MINDING OUR BUSINESS.
Congressman E. L. Forrester be
lieves that education is the states’
own business and should not be
dominated b y the Federal
Government. He has introduced a
bill, HR-3769, reported in the
Congressional Record on Febru
ary 8, 1955, to restore to the
states the administration Os
their educational systems.
“The passage of this bill”,
says Congressman Forrester,
“would be the complete answer
to the threat, or fact, as the case
may be, that the Federal Govern
ment is regimenting or trying to
regiment education.”
DEMOCRACY: Youngsters had
just been studying about demo
cracy and were just carried away
with its charms, and the idea of
things being decided by a vote.
One day a grasshopper jumped
up on their window. The teacher
took it in, and started a nature
study lesson about it. “How many
legs does a grasshopper have?”
she asked. Some guessed two,
some four, some six. Suggested
one little fellow, “Let’s take a
vote.”

DISSENTING OPINION: Pren
tice-Hall publishing company has
recently put together pros and
cons of what the public is say
ing about its schools. It’s a book
titled PUBLIC EDUCATION
UNDER CRITICISM. The articles,
from magazines and elsewhere,
were collected and edited by Win
field Scott and Clyde M. Hill.
You’ll emerge from a reading of
it, I think, with a better under
standing of the cross current of
modern opinion, and the feeling
that, as Henry Steele Commager
says, “Never have people demand
ed so much of their schools nor
been better served by them.”
Much criticism stems from the
schools not doing a good job of
interpreting to the public what
they are doing. There’s an old
saying that goes like this: “Folks
are. apt to be down on what
they’re not up on.”
