Survey Indicates Rapid Spread of Coastal Bermuda Georgia’s “miracle” grass, Coastal Bermuda, continues to steadily increase its spread over Georgia soil. According to a recent survey by county agents, the hybrid grass, developed from the inter planting of Tift Bermuda with an introduction from South Afri ca in 1938 by Dr. Glenn W. Bur ton at the Coastal Plain Experi ment Station near Tifton, now covers 296,023 acres in Georgia. This compares with only 23,652 acres in 1950. Distribution of Coastal Ber muda, which as a hybrid cannot establish and spread itself nat urally but must be planted, is statewide, with plantings in prac tically every county. The greater part of the state acreage is in the southern half of the State, but total county acreages of 1,000 acres extend as far northeast as Warren, McDuffie and Glascock counties. Among counties with 10,000 or more acres in Coastal Ber muda are Colquitt, 26,000; Mitch ell, 10,000; Thomas, 10,700; Cof fee, 15,000; Laurens, 15,000; and Bulloch, 10,200. A random check of present acreage in several counties that had no Coastal Bermuda in 1950 shows how rapidly it has been established in the past five years. For example, Decatur now has 4,400 acres, Brantley, 3,750, Scre ven, 3,000, and Peach, 1,375. In releasing the survey of pres ent acreage, Ralph Johnson, argo omist for the University of Geo rgia Agricultural Extension Ser vice, pointed out that Coastal Bermuda will grow anywhere Common Bermuda grows and is the most efficient plant for hay and grazing on Georgia farms today. He said that for high yields of grazing and for quality hay, Coastal Bermuda should be plant ed on upland and well drained lowland soils. In North Georgia it should be planted in early spring, but can be planted in South Georgia anytime the soil is moist. Smokey Says: <IIf 11 To what once was, and is no more!

The four-court suit, filed in the Davidson (Nashville, Tenn.) County Circuit Court, said the CWA’S “Ultimate Intent” was to force Southern Bell “To Agree to the Demands Which the . . . Union was Making upon” the Company. Southern Bell asked that the suit be heard by a jury. The Union, its “Members and Others” joined an “Unlawful Combination and Conspiracy” to damage Southern Bell property and to shut down its telephone exchanges, the suit alleged. Acts of damage specifically set out in the complaint and in tended to interrupt telephone service were “Directed, Procured, Instigated and Incited by the De fendant Union,” according to the suit. It said the Union “Embarked on a program of wanton, willful and malicious misconduct and property damage,” including the use of dynamite, fire arms and cable cuttings “In Tennessee and Elsewhere.” During the strike, which began March 14, and ended May 25, violence was heavy in all nine states served by Southern Bell- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The suit also charged that the Union “Sought to accomplish (its) malicious and illegal pur pose not only by physical damage . . . but also by threatening and intimidating . . . employees who elected to continue working dur ing the strike.” It said the Union and its ‘A gents’ intimidated non-strikers by following them to and from work “In a threatening manner,” sub jecting them to “Vile and Ob scene abuse of every character.” . . . “Attacking the homes by explosives, fire arms and other means . . .” It was further al leged that employees’ “Lives and Health have been threatened . . . through the instrumentality of mob violence directed at them and their places of employment.” As a result of this “Pattern of violence,” Southern Bell was forced to close down temporarily its exchanges at Jellico, LaFol lette, Greenback and Maryville, Tennessee, and Middlesboro, Ky. Violence and vandalism during the 10-week-old strike “Were pre formed by the Agents, members and representatives of the Union acting in furtherance of the strike called and directed by said Un ion and within the scope of their authority.” One count in the suit specific ally cited a Tennessee law pro hibiting damage to telephone poles, wires, fixtures, or other apparatus or to impair telephone service. Although the Union has Na tional Headquarters in Washing ton, D. C., it is subject to suit in Tennessee, according to the com plaint. The action named the Union as a whole and R. B. Porch, Area Director for the CWA, and W. T. Buttram, Ten nessee Director, “As Representa tive of the membership of the Union.” Tuesday, June 14, Was Flag Day Macon, Ga. — Tuesday, June 14th, was celebrated as Na tional Flag Day and residents of this city were urged to pay spec ial respect to Old Glory on that day.

The Georgia Motor Club, Atlanta, af filiated with the American Auto mobile Association, makes the following suggestions: Show young children the best route to school and to the store. Teach them to cross at protected intersections, and to obey the School Safety Patrol. Make a place other than the street the most attractive place to play. Running out into the roadway after a prized ball or other toy causes .many accidents. Often a solution is for the youngster to understand in advance that if the ball is damaged or lost, you will replace it with a better one. • Your own attitude toward traf fic and your safety habits are .much more important than what you tell your child to do. Keep from between parked cars. Cross only at corners. Be sure the way is clear before you cross. Re member, they follow your ex ample. CRITICAL STEP A' critical step in the prepar ation of vegetables for freezing is the scalding process. Scalding is necessary to prevent the loss of quality and to preserve the vitamin content of the vegetables. It brightens the color, shrinks the food, further cleans the pro duct, and stops the action of enzymes. ALL YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS ANYTHING EXCEPT LIFE.
