Diphtheria Shows Mild Comeback in Georgia “Since modern medicine has made diphtheria so easy to pre vent,’’ Dr. Sellers points out, “it especially saddens those of us in public health to see even one death a year from this disease. The same is true of smallpox, whooping cough, and tetanus (lockjaw).” Once a major killer of children, diphtheria is now readily pre vented with toxoid shots for in fants, ‘booster’ shots at two years of age, and again before or just after the child enters school. The only thing parents have to do to save their children from this disease, Dr. Sellers said, is to take them to their physician or local health department when time comes for the shots. Record Low in ’sl Health Department records show, according to Dr. W. J. Mur phy, Health Department epidemi ologist, that diphtheria is at tempting a mild comeback in Georgia. In 1920, it killed 401 Georgians. Thirty-one years lat er, in 1951, the toll had been re duced to 11 deaths, the smallest number ever recorded in this state. Since 1951, however, the num ber has gone back up steadily. In 1952 there were 15 deaths from diphtheria, and 20 in 1953. In 1954 they increased to 23. Cases of diphtheria, too, have increased in the state. From 1951, with a low of 190 cases, the num ber had by 1953 reached 276. Records show that about 90 per cent of these cases occur in chil dren under 15 years. In diphtheria the infection is usually located in the throat where it produces a gray mem brane. The principal symptoms are fever and sore throat. Some times the infection involves the voice box and causes difficulty in breathing (croup). Late com plications include heart disease and paralysis. Immunization The disease is spread by -dis charges from the nose and throat of infected persons, and gener ally develops about two to five days after exposure. Dr. Sellers urged parents to take full advantage of the im munizations available for protec tion of children against diphthe ria, as well as other communi cable diseases. District Editors Hold Outing at Jekyll Island Members of the Bth District Press Association and their fami lies enjoyed an outing Sunday at Jekyll Island, including a tour of the island conducted by Capt.

Agronomist Says Good Seed Are Cheapest Seed The chairman of the Georgia Crop Improvement Association's advisory committee said this week that “good seed are the cheapest seed farmers can use,” then added that “one of the best ways for farmers to be assured that they have good seed is to plant certified seed.” E. C. Westbrook, who is also agronomist for the Agricultural Extension Service, College of Ag riculture, said many Georgia farmers buy seed oats that not only are unfit for seed. “In many cases the quality is so poor that the oats would not make good feed,” he declared. Westbrook said these non-cer tified seed that are low in germ ination and contain noxious weed seed have infested fields with these weeds, some of which are almost impossible to eradicate. He pointed out that certified seed are clean. “Not only will they produce larger yields of grain,’’ he said, “but will make a large amount of grazing if the oats are to be grazed.’’ Fred Strickland Announces For Reelection To the Voters of the City of Nahunta: This is to announce that I will be a candidate for the office of mayor for the city of Nahunta in the regular election to be held in the City on October 5, 1955.

Georgia Bulldogs Face Ole Miss in Opener Saturday ATHENS, GA. — Tickets are still available now, but there may not be an empty seat at Grant Field in Atlanta Saturday night. Sept. 17 when Georgia and Ole Miss clash in the most important Southeastern Conference opening game of the season. The Rebels, defending confer ence champions, will bring to At lanta a veteran outfit that led the nation in total defense last year and also topped the S. E. C. in both defense and offense. They boast three brilliant T-quarter backs who run and pass excep tionally well: John Blalock, Eagle Day (all-SEC last year) and Houston Patton. The Bulldogs, who surprised last year by finishing fifth in the S. E. C. race with a pre dominantly sophomore squad, as pire very much to upset the champions. Coach Wallace Butts, starting his seventeenth campaign as Georgia head coach, comments: “It probably will take some major breaks for us to upset a team of Ole Miss’ all-round strength on both offense and de fense, but our boys are very am bitious and we believe they will give a good account of them selves.” After the Ole Miss battle the Bulldogs come home to beautiful Sanford Stadium Saturday after noon, Sept. 24 for an encouter with tough Vanderbilt, featuring the S. E. C.’s outstanding ball carrying halfback, Charley Hor ton. Watch the label on your paper. Don’t let your sub- scription expire.
