Murray deceased having been filed in .my office, all persons concerned are cited to show cause by the 2nd day of Sept. 1957, why said application for twelve month’s support should not be granted. This Aug. 5, 1957. Claude A. Smith, Ordinary. C. Winton Adams Petitioner’s Attorney 8-29 Farley Strickland Kills Big Rattler Farley Strickland, Rt. 1, Black shear, brought a five foot rattle snake by The Times office Wed nesday morning.

Durable Chevrolet Task-Force trucks are doing more jobs—and getting them done more quickly Survey on Polio To Be Conducted A countrywide survey to dis cover the current rehabilitation needs of all post-polio patients will be cqnducted this month. The local survey is part of a nationwide project by the Na tional Foundation to compile a roster of polio cases of all ages and degree of disability, regard less of date of onset. The canvass here is to be completed by Sept. 1 ‘‘Modern medicine has made impressive strides in developing new rehabilitation techniques in recent years,” Mr. Owen said. “Pilot surveys already undertak en show that there are thousands of polio-handicapped in the Unit ed States who have not yet had an opportunity for medical eval uation to determine if they might benefit from these new tech niques. “Some of the techniques em ployed today for those disabled by polio and other causes -were unknown or unused as recently as 10 or even five years ago. “The March of Dimes organiza tion, having scored a tremendous victory in its war on polio, does not propose to walk off and leave the wounded behind, so long as help for them is possible. We wish to find everyone who has had polio, whether paralytic or non-paralytic. We want to know what their special problems may be, so that they may be helped to regain useful lives, if humanly possible, even though it will take a considerable period of time.” Mr. Owen said that the County Health Nurses were offering splendid cooperation in helping make up the rosters. The County Medical Society and member phy sicians, the Department of Public Welfare, Office of Vocational Re habilitation, State Crippled Chil dren’s Service and county school systems also will cooperate. In formation sought for each patient includes whether he is employed or attends school, if he can climb stairs and dress himself, wheth er he receives regular treatment and if he uses a respiratory aid. Information gained will be help ful to all such agencies and or ganizations. Mr. Owen asked that all per sons who have ever had polio — whether disabled or not — send their names and addresses di rectly to Miss Wannell Bryant, secretary, Pierce County Chapter, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Chamber of Commerce, Blackshear, or call telephone number 4761. 1957 Agricultural Conservation Program Notice Farmers who wish to request cost-sharing on ACP practices to be carried out during the fall of 1957, may file their requests at the County ASC Office from Sept. 2, through Sept. 20, 1957, according to Mr. George Dykes, chairman of the Brantley County ASC Committee.
