.. because
they went to their doctors in time
Many thousands of Americans are being cured of cancer every
year. More and more people are going to their doctors in time. That
is encouraging!
But the tragic fact, our doctors tell us, is that every third cancer
death is a needless death ... twice as many could be saved.
YOUR BEST CANCER INSURANCE is (1) to see your doctor
every year for a thorough checkup, no matter how well you may
feel (2) to see your doctor immediately at the first sign of any ^ne
of the 7 danger signals that may mean cancer.
For a list of those life-saving warning signals and other facts of life
about cancer, call the American Cancer Society office nearest you
or simply write to “Cancer” in care of your local Post Office.

FOOD HABITS CHANGE
Many changes in the food ha
bits of American consumers have
been effected over the past 20
years. Americans now eat fewer
calories. snd there have been
important changes in the sources
of these calories. For instance,
consumption of protein has in
creased steadily from 90 grams
per person per day between 1935
and 1939 to 97 grams in 1955.

FFA Week
EDITORIAL
As Future Farmers of America
throughout the country observe
their National FFA Week, the
eyes of the nation turn to a
group of farm boys whose lives
are dedicated to becoming better
farmers, better citizens, and bet
ter leaders for tomorrow. They
are high school boys studying
vocational agriculture.
In an era of isms, it is im
portant what people believe, es
pecially our young people. Be
liefs shape character, limit suc
cess and influence the destiny of
a nation.
It is refreshing to read the
FFA Creed. It sets forth the be
liefs of Future Farmers. There
is a lesson in those beliefs for
all of us. Here are some of the
lines from the Creed:
“I believe in the future of
farming ... in the promise of
better days through better ways—
“I believe that ti live and
work on a good farm is pleasant
as well as challenging—
“I believe in leadership from
ourselves and respect from oth
ers. I believe in my own ability
to work efficiently ’ and think
clearly —-
“I believe in less dependence
on begging and more power in
bargaining; in the life abundant
and enough honest wealth to
help make it so —for others as
well as myself; in less need for
charity and more of it when
needed; in being happy myself
and playing square with those
whose happiness depends upon
me —
“I believe that rural America
can and will hold true to the
best traditions in our national
life and that I can exert an in
fluence in my home and com
munity which will stand solid
for my part in that inspiring
task.”
We are proud to pay tribute
to our FFA members at Black
shear and Patterson high schools
and to the 17,425 in 293 schools
in Georgia on their 28th Anni
versary which points again to
their success in training to be
agriculture’s leaders of the fu
ture.

Dial Phones
For Waycross
In 37 Seen
Waycross’ telephone system
will be converted to dial opera
tion the latter part of 1957.
The announcement was made
this week by M. N. Beavers,
Waycross manager for Southern
Bell Telephone Company.
Mr. Beavers said that a new
building would be built on a lot
the firm recently purchased on
the north side of Oak street be
tween Pendleton and Alice streets
to house the dial central office
and long distance switchboard.
The old building will be retain
ed to continue housing long dis
tance carrier equipment.
Telephone engineers are pre
sently at work on plans for the
new building and the elaborate
plans required for the manufac
ture of the complicated electro
nic components of the dial cen
tral office.
The telephone official stated
that two years was the minimum
time required to engineer, manu
facture and install dial equip
ment for an exchange the size
of Waycross. A considerable a
mount of preliminary engineer
ing has already been done.
Waycross telephone growth in
recent years has been great. In
the past ten years the number of
telephones served by the local
exchange has grown from 3,300
to almost 8,000, a gain of 140
percent.
Mr. Beavers said that during
the past ten years Southern Bell
had spent about $1,700,000 in ex
panding and improving local and
long distance services at Way
cross. A considerable amount, yet
undetermined, will be required to
convert Waycross to dial.
Southern Bell’s growth in
Georgia has been phenomenal,
Mr. Beavers stated. In the past
ten years Southern Bell has
grown from 280,000 telephones to
725,000 and has spent about
$230,000,000 million in expanding
and improving its services in the
state. This year the firm is spend
ing $42,000,000 on expansion in
Georgia, and next year plans to
spend even more.
The Waycross telephone mana
ger said as engineering progress
es and planning is completed that
further announcements would be
made regarding the dial program
for the city.
Thomas Sasser, 86,

Sasser, 86, who died Sunday af

Ask Credentials
Os ‘Tax Agents’,
Official Urges
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Russell C. Harrington this
week warned taxpayers of the
nation, individual and business,
to demand the .presentation of
credentials by any puported Rev
enue Agent who may ask to see
their records or demand cash
payments for taxes allegedly due.
Several district and local Reve
nue offices have reported to him
complaints that fradulent “tax
collectors” have sought to obtain
access to their books, or to col
lect payments said to be owed.
All Revenue agents, the Com
ry pocket commissions to authen
missioner pointed out, must car
ticate their status, and any tax
payer has a legitimate right to
demand that these documents be
shown before providing any in
formation or cooperation.
“The Revenue Service,” Com
missioner Harrington said, “act
ually prefers checks in payment
of any tax obligations, although
agents will issue receipts for cash
when it’s tendered. It has deve
loped that false receipts have
been given in some instances in
recent weeks by bogus agents in
various parts of the country.”
Any taxpayer approached by
an ‘‘agent” who cannot produce
his credentials should attempt to
establish contact with his local
Internal Revenue office or the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and, if he is unable to keep the
fradulent agent on the premises,
should obtain as many descrip
tive details as possible to turn
over the proper Federal authori
ties.
BETTER CROPS WITH
CERTIFIED SEED
Better seed mean better crops
and the best way to be sure
of getting good quality seed is
by buying certified seed, accord
ing to E. C. Westbrook of the
Georgia Crop Improvement As
sociation. Westbrook explained
that the certified seed label in
dicates that the variety has been
tested and proven to be pure
and correctly named. Then, too,
it means that the crop was field
inspected to insure freedom from
noxious weeds.

Increase Asked
In Tree Planting,
Research Program
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The
voice of Congresswoman Iris
Blitch was added to those of a
group of State Foresters here
last week from pine growing
southern States, in requesting the
Interior Subcommittee on Ap
propriations for an increase of
Federal funds for research, de
velopment and tree planting.
“Georgia plants more trees
than any other State in the coun
try,” the Congresswoman said,
“and timber is probably the
greatest single source of wealth
in the Eighth District of Georgia.
Our research and development
program must be stepped up. Be
cause of the recent drouths and
fires, we might wake up some
day to find that the black pine
beetle is bankrupting our tim
berland in the same fashion that
the chestnut trees throughout the
country were wiped out some
years ago.”
The Congresswoman filed a
statement with the Subcommittee
pointing out the economic impor
tance to Georgia of this program.
She requested that an increase be
made in the present tree plant
ing program from $505,000 to
$1,000,000, and that the research
program be stepped up from
$215,000 to $1,000,000, and that
the research program be stepped
up from $215,000 to $715,000.
Alfafa is one of Georgia’s most
important hay and forage crops
and should fit into the state’s ex
panding dairy and beef cattle
industry, according to P. J. Ber
geaux. Agricultural Extension

STOPS NEMATODE DAMAGE!
Soil fumigation with Niagara Soilfume is helping
growers of tobacco, vegetables and other field
crops to greater profits through controlling nema
todes and other soil pests. These insects prey on
the roots of plants and seriously limit yields.
Soilfume contains the effective agent, ethylene
dihromide. Just treat the soil before planting.

SHORTER kitchen hours
The housewife of today can
prepare a day’s food for a family
of four in about an hour and a
half. This chore required about
five and one-half hours of the
housewife’s time in the 1920’5.
The much shorter time is made
possible through processing,
transportation, and marketing
services, that now take more of
the family food dollar than far
mers get for growing the food.
The number of acres of Geor
gia tobacco irrigated increased
from 3,932 in 1954 to 16,307 in
1955.
