CORDELE, Ga. — The Con servation League has approved unanimously a water use and antipollution bill for presentation at a special session of the Geor gia Water Laws Revision Com mission in Macon Thursday. The commission is charged with recommending a water con trol bill for enactment by the General Assembly in January. The proposal was approved at the closing session of the league’s first annual convention Sunday. Frederick W. Sturges of Macon, was re-elected president and James M. Bentley of Macon was re-elected secretary. The proposed bill was drafted by the league’s legislative com mittee chairman, Atty. George Cowart of Brunswick, and pro vides: 1. That the water control com mission appointed by the gover nor be composed not of state of ficials but of laymen represent ing each of the seven .major water using interests. 2. That complaints and suits be heard by the commission or court in the county where the alleged violation occurred instead of in Fulton (Atlanta) County. 3. That final decisions shall be by jury rather than by a judge. 4. That polluters of water be effectively enjoyed while the commission studies a respective case. 5. That violators be fined SSOO for each day the pollution occurs. The convention defeated a pro vision that would have allowed a league officer to hold public office. The convention unanimously adopted resolutions which: 1. Called for continued state ownership and low-cost publie use of Jekyll Island. 2. Deplored “the heedless and promiscuous destruction of our hard wood forests which fur nish food and homes for wildlife.” 3. Called for repeal of a law which legalizes sales of Bob White quail. 4. Requested the General As sembly to consider measures for boating safety. 5. Deihanded that all funds from the sale of hunting and fish ing licenses be given to the Game and Fish Department. Other officers elected included |Fred Cleveland, Atlanta, treas urer, and four regional vice presi dents; George Griffin, Rome, region 1; Bernard Freeman, Washington, region 2; Gerald R. Hunter, Cordele, re-elected in region 3, and O. D. Johnson, Blackshear, region 4. The Mark Trail award went to Johnson; the L. C. Bartlett me morial award to Perry Cul pepper, Cordele; the Southern Outdoors award to Sturges, and the Ed Dodd award to the Clarke County Game and Fish Club.

Get Your Polio Vaccine Shots Now Before Polio Strikes Who should have vaccine first? Children, young people through 19, and expectant .mothers. These are the people most apt to get paralytic polio, so they should have vaccine shots first. But the vaccine must be widely used be fore polio really is overcome. Eventually, everyone up to •at least 45 years of age should be vaccinated. Where do you get it? From your doctor, or if you are in the eligible age groups, at local public vaccination clinics. Ask your doctor or health officer. How does the vaccine give protection? It causes a person to develop polio-fighting particles (called antibodies) in his bloddstream. Enough antibodies prevent the polio virus from causing paraly sis. How many vaccine shots are needed? THREE. The first shot should be given at once; the second shot, two to six weeks after the first; the third seven months to a year after the second shot. How soon does the vaccine work? The first shot begins to take effect seven to 10 days after it is given. The second shot brings a sharper rise in antibodies. With two shots a person should have protection against paralytic polio for at least one polio season. But don’t stop with two shots. Why is the third shot necessary? To give better and longer-last ing protection. Antibodies in crease sharply after the third shot. Be sure the third shot is given no earlier than seven months after the second. Remem ber, full vaccination means all three shots. Is there much polio now? Yes, thousands of cases still occur, largely among the age groups that have not received vaccine. If people rapidly take advantage of the vaccine’s pro tection, we should soon see a marked decline in paralytic polio. In the meantime, the March of Dimes continues to aid all polio patients who cannot pay full costs of care. HELP LICK POLIO. GET VACCINE SHOTS NOW.. .DON’T WAIT.

Baptists Veto Integregation Proposal The Georgia Baptist Convention Wednesday voted down a pro posal that they approve public school integregation. The action was taken at a ses sion of the Baptist State Conven tion in Atlanta, after a report by their Social Service Commission advocated approving the United States Supreme Court desegraga tion decision. The convention voted against the commission report by about 3 to 1. Dr. Louie D. Newton, pastor of the Atlanta Druids Hill Baptist Church, led the fight against adoption of the report. Rev. John Burch, only dissent ing member of the commission, also helped to lead the opposition to the report. After the desegre gation report was defeated the convention changed the member ship of the Social Service Com mission from five to fifteen mem bers, for the purpose of giving more state-wide representation on the commission. Aid Available For Sewage Treatment WAYCROSS — Congresswoman Iris Blitch announced today that the Public Health Service of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is ready to act on applications for Fed eral grants to help build sewage treatment facilities. Application forms have been mailed to the states for use by municipalities. Criteria for determining the pro priety of Federal aid, as required by Congress, have been establish ed. The 84th Congress appropriated SSO million for the new construc tion grants program during the current fiscal year. The new Act limits individual grants to $250 thousand or 30 per cent of the estimated cost of the project, whichever is less. Among other conditions, a pro ject, to be eligible for a Federal grant, must be part of a com prehensive water pollution con trol program developed coopera tively by the Public Health Ser vice, other Federal agencies, State and interestate agencies, municipalities, and industries. The program list now includes approximately 10,000 munici palities. In addition, eligible projects must be in conformity with he State water pollution control plan and must have been certi fied by the State water pollution control agency as entitled to pri ority over the other eligible pro jects on the basis of financial as well as water pollution control needs. ‘ In determining the desirability of projects and approving Federal Aid for them, the Surgeon Gen eral is required by the Act to consider the public benefits of the project, the propriety of Fed eral aid in its construction, and relation of the ultimate costs to public interest and necessity.

We hunt and P. J. Bergeaux, Ex tension Service soils and ferti lizer specialist at the College of Agriculture, University of Geor gia. Quoting figures from the Nat ional Plant Institute, they said fertilizer’ prices, in terms of plant nutrient content, have adv anced less than 10 percent since 1939. “At the same time,” the specialists continued, “prices of all farm production items have more than doubled in the same period.” Wehunt and Bergeabx urged Georgia farmers to take advant age of this “relatively low cost” of fertilizer. They said plant nut rients are the capital stock of the farmer, and -added that these nutrients—plus work, brains and other factors—give a farm its value. It was pointed out that adequate fertilization lower the per-acre cost of producing crops and means more profit to the farmer. “When a doctor prescribes two pills for a farmer, he takes, the pills,” the Extension worke rs ex plained. “But when a soil speci alist tells him what his soil needs are, he often cuts the dosage in half. That’s bad business.” Wehunt and Bergeaux said the fact that the fertilizer dollar goes further is only half the story. They pointed out that the same amount of plant food needed to produce $1 worth of farm pro ducts in 1939 today produces $2.- 60 worth. “While today’s farmer receives more than two and a half times as much for his farm products as he did in 1939, he pays less than 10 percent more for the fertilizer it takes to produce them,” they stated. The specialists urged farmers to use their prescribed dosage of fertilizer “pills” be employing soil tests and Extension Service recommendations for “money making results.” They called ef ficiently-used fertilizer “the best and cheapest production tool available to Georgia farmers.” The Home Newspaper is Read Like a Letter From Home.
