State Senators End Session
After Ovation for Vandiver
Lt. Gov. Ernest Vandiver received a sustained ova
tion from the Georgia Senate before adjournment Friday
after being called a man whose, “horizons are unlimited’’
in Georgia.
Vandiver is the most promi
nently mentioned candidate for
governor in 1958.
The tribute was paid to the
lieutenant governor in a speech
delivered by Sen. Carl Sanders of
Augusta. Vandiver was also com
mended in a privileged resolution
adopted Friday, in a speech by
Floor Leader Peyton Hawes and
by other senators. .
After commending the Senate
staff, the press and the lieutenant
governor’s personal staff, Sanders
declared that “the horizons are
unlimited for this young man in
sofar as Georgia is concerned.”
The entire Senate rose to their
feet with applause at the con
clusion of the resolution and

Don't Be a Polio Victim
The polio vaccine is among the greatest of recent
medical discoveries. The vaccine is safe, marvelously ef
fective, and it is now in abundant supply.
Yet, despite this, the national vaccination program
is lagging.
The situation is so critical that the trustees of the
American Medical Association recently called a meeting
of state and territorial medical association representatives
to plan and promote a gigantic polio vaccine program.
The idea was born at a prior meeting between one of the
trustees and representatives of the American Academy
of Pediatrics, the American Academy of General Practice,
the Surgeon General of the U. S. Health Service and others.
A general program was agreed upon. Points stressed are
that the \accine is both safe and effective; that everyone
should be vaccinated, and especially those under 40; that
inertia and apathy are primarily responsible for the failure
of large segments of the public to be vaccinated, and that
the medical profession should go all out in an effort to
promote the use of the vaccine. It was also recognized
that the principal responsibility for implementation of the
program rests with state and local medical societies.
It is certainly to be hoped that the medical profession
is successful in the great under-taking—and that public
lethargy will be dissipated once and for all. Some 80,000
Americans have been crippled by polio—legions more
will be needlessly crippled in the future if the vaccination
program continues to lag. Don’t be one of theml
Promoting Cause of Free Press
(From the Waycross Journal-Herald)
The Georgia Press Association has cited the Columbus
Ledger and Enquirer and the Blackshear Times for ex
cellence in the promotion of National Newspaper Week.
We congratulate both Columbus papers and the Times
over at neighboring Blackshear.
Critics to the contrary, most newspaper do a surp
risingly poor job in promoting themselves and the cause
of the free press.
National Newspaper Week is observed annually to
focus attention on the role of the press in a free nation.
We have often thought that it was the most neglected
from a public standpoint of any of the “weeks” observed
during the year.
The Columbus newspapers and the Blackshear Times
have been doing a good job in letting the peoples know’
what the press means to them.
They justly deserved the recognition accorded them.

Decay of Teeth Said Most
Prevalent Disease in U. S.
(Dental disease is the most wide
spread disease in the country.
Dentists assert there is little
sound reason for the mounting
statistics. In observance of Na
tional Children’s Dental Health
Week, Feb. 3 through 9, The
Blackshear Times, in cooperation
with local dentists, this week be
gins a series of six articles de
signed to inform parents how
their children can avoid the den
tal crippling that afflicts so much
of the adult population today.)
Teeth are designed to last a
lifetime. Yet nearly half the
population over 40 has or needs
artificial dentures. In a country
with the finest dental know-how
in the world, our dental health
is scarcely a candidate for honors.
This is the record:
Almost all persons suffer from
dental disease at same time dur
ing their lives.
Dental decay is the nation’s
most prevalent disease.
Twenty-five per cent of U. S.
children are afflicted 1 at some
time with malocclusion—severe
deforming irregularities of the
teeth.
Among adults, the greatest
single cause of loss of teeth is
periodontal disease, so-called
pyorrhea.

frontal attack on the major dental
diseases. Dentists assert that the
enormous problem of dental dis
ease could be cut down to size
if — and it is a big if — these
weapons were put to use on a
wide scale.
The key lies in prevention. Pre
vention against dental disease, be
ginning at an early age, dentists
agree, is the most practical ap
proach to curtailing the vast dis
ease toll.
They point out that, except for
some unusual reason, the right
dental health habits, begun early
in life, should result in sound
and healthy teeth that will last
a lifetime.
In a .message for Children’s
Dental Health Week, dentists set
out this four-way program for
children as the most effective
means for maintaining good den
tal health:
1. Proper use of the tooth
brush immediately after eating.
2. Emphasis on proper diet, es
pecially the avoidance of snacks
of sweet foods between meals.
3. Periodic dental examinations
to detect and prevent early den
tal disease.
4. Water fluoridation to prevent
about 60 per cent of dental decay
that might otherwise occur.

SOW GOOD SEED
Someone has said that the most
arresting advice he ever en
countered was if you want to be
acceped and appreciated, live so
that is blind person would like
you. This is much better advice
than appears on the surface.
Lasting popularity is not depen
dent on a pretty face and a pro
perly proportioned body, but up
on inner qualities that are made
obvious through media other
than sight. What are some of
these personality assets?
1). Be a true friend to your
fellowman. The “Grit” reminds
us of the value of a friend when
it says: “Some people have their
first dollar, but the man who is
really rich is the one who still
has his first friend. A friend has
been defined as one who will see
you through when others see that
you are through.
One of the best ways to test
your ability to make friends is
to make friends with an enemy.
The “Ladies’ Journal” reports
that Abraham Lincoln was once
taken to task by an associate for
his attitude towards his enemies:
“Why do you try to make friends
of them? You should try to des
troy them.” Lincoln replied gen
tly: “Am I not destroying my
enemies when I make them my
friends?’’
The best example and teacher
of the art of making friends is
Jesus. The hymn reminds us of
this when it says: “What a friend
we have in Jesus.” Yes, the best
way to have friends is to be one.
2) Deserved praise is another
of these personality assets a blind
person could see. All of us hung
er for a word of praise. Mark
Twain is credited with saying:
“I can live for two months on a
good compliment.’’ Deserved pra
ise is a blessing to both the giver
and he who receives it. As Lowell
Fillmore says: ‘The world needs
more people who bless. There are
too many who criticize and find
fault.”
“Whatsoever Things”, publish
ed by Stetson University, has
these beautiful words to say
about praise. “Praise is a kind of
spiritual vitamin. Children,
grownups, and all of us, need it
to be emotionally healthy. We
can only get it from others.
Praise is a precious PLUS in life.
It’s like salt, which somebody
has said is the thing that if you
don’t put is on potatoes makes
them taste bad.”
3) An understanding heart is
an inner quality that a blind per
son can see. A big-league umpire
once remarked that he could not
understand how crowds in the
grandstand, hundreds of feet a
way from the plate, could see
better and judge more accurately
than he, when he was only seven
feet away.
Another man commented that
in life, too, we call strikes on
folks when we are too far away
to understand. Perhaps if we had
a closer view of the man and his
problems, we would reserve our
decisions. The favorite motto of
Dr. John Watson, better known
by his pen name of lan Mac
laren, is said to have been: “Be
kind, for every one you meet is
fighting a hard battle.”
Norman G. Shidle reminds us
that “We all like to be under
stood. Firm friendships are based
heavily on mutual understanding.
Fruitful business relationships
rest on the same foundation. Per
sonal satisfactions with ac
complishment are closely related
to having others understand what
we have done. Yet many of us
expect the other fellow to do
most of the understanding.” In
this respect too many of us are
in Numbers when we should be
in Acts.
The last thing I would say
about these inner qualities that
make for lasting popularity is in
the form of advice for planting
a garden as found in the “Wright
Line” magazine. “First, plant five
rows of peas: Preparedness,
Perseverance, Politeness, and
'Prayer. Next to them plant three
rows of squash: Squash gossip,
Squash criticism, Squash indif
ference. Then five rows of let
tuce: Let us love one another,
Let us be unselfish, Let us be
Loyal, and Let us be truthful. No
garden is complete without tur
nip: Turn up for Church, Turn up
with a smile, Turn up with a new
idea, Turn up with real deter
mination.’’
