Campaign Against
Brucellosis Gets
Another Boost
The nation’s Brucellosis eradi
cation and control program, step
ped up about a year ago with an
increase in federal funds, got an
other boost in Georgia this week
with the setting up of seven
“pilot” counties to carry out an
intensive campaign against the
disease.
The counties are Floyd, Mus
cogee, Wilkes, Putnam, Sumter,
Colquit, and Chatham.
W. A. Sutton, associate direc
tor of the Agricultural Extension
Service and chairman of the state
Brucellosis committee, said the
knowledge and experience gained
in these counties will be used to
further expand the statewide
eradication program designed to
wipe out the costly disease in
Georgia livestock.
The “pilot” county plan calls
for the Extension agents in these
counties to assist in determining
the number of calves to be vac
cinated, then helping schedule
service by practicing veterinar
ians as calves reach the proper
age to be vaccinated. Sutton
pointed out that calfhood vac
cination is one of the keys to
riding the state of Brucellosis by
1960 — the goal set by the state
committee.
Cards will be sent to livestock
owners in the .seven counties,
urging them to state when they
will have calves ready for vac
cination. The cards will be re
turned to county agents who will
line up vaccination visits for lo
cal veterinarians. The vets will
vaccinate the calves and will be
paid out of appropriated federal
state funds.
Dr. J. W. Mann, state veterin
arian, and Dr. C. J. Mikel, vet
erinarian in charge, Disease Con
trol and Eradication, USDA, join
ed Sutton in urging all counties
“to give wholehearted support to
this important program.” The
program is conducted jointly by
the State and U. S. Departments
of Agriculture.

Quotes on
National
Newspaper Week
MYRTLE BEACH, S. C.,
NEWS: “Although the newspap
ers of the state each have their
own characteristics, reflecting
generally the communities they
serve, there is one transcending
principle by which they live —
the desire to serve what they
honestly believe to be the best
interests of their communities,
their state and their nation. . .
When the voice of the press and
the voice of the people join in
a common crusade, public opin
ion — that fountainhead of pow
er in our free nation — reaches
its greatest effectiveness.”
ITALY, TEXAS, NEWS-HER
ALD: “In almost every country
except ours the editor operates
under such restraint that it is
almost impossible to present any
viewpoint except the official
one.”

The Consumer Finance
Industry of Georgia is
an integral part of the
economy of the state and
its citizens.
As such it has a responsibility
and a duty to all the people, in
all walks of life, to maintain and
promulgate the highest standards
of ethics and integrity in the
conduct of business.
This, we in the indus
try have consistently
tried to do.
The business of lending is reg
ulated by law. This is necessary
in order that the public not be
victimized by that minute minor
ity of lenders who would take an
unfair advantage of their fellow
man.
Members of the Geor
gi a Consumer Finance
Association welcome the
regulation by law of our
business. The fact is, our
Association, itself, has
adopted a stringent code
of ethics and conduct
for our members.
We pledge our full co
operation with State,
County and City govern
ments in continuing a
strict adherence to both
letter and spirit of the
law in all our relation
ships with the public.
We urge you, as a citizen of
this great state, to acquaint your
self with the laws regulating the
lending and borrowing of money,
so that you may be in a position
to judge fairly and impartially
any charge or complaint which
may be made against the Con
sumer Finance Industry.
We want to be FAIR
to the public. We want
the public to be FAIR
to us.
