VOLUME 39 — NUMBER 28 104 Million Pound Crop Is Predicted for 1959 Tobacco Current indications point to a Georgia flue-cured tobacco crop of 104,725,000 pounds, 17 per cent •above last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This will be the largest crop since 1956 when 128,040,000 lbs. were produced but it will still be 11 per cent below the 10-year average production of 118,066,- 000. The yield per acre this season is forecast at 1,475 pounds com pared with last year’s record high yield of 1,545 pounds per acre. In some areas tobacco was damaged by heavy rains the last half of May and the first few days of June. In other areas, the crop is as good or better than last year. The expected increase in total production of 17 per cent is due to a 22 per cent larger acreage for harvest this year. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 71,- 000 compared with 58,000 in 1958.

MAN TALMADGE S . i||i ■ ’Reports From W H I WASHINGTON I I ■fl THIS COUNTRY’S financial chickens have begun to come home to roost. | As the re | suit of our fis | cal follies of s the past 15 years the once - prized American dol । lar is now sell- I ing at a dis- I -count on the < ' ... *~ 1 * money markets of the world and the gold supply of the United States has dropped to a 20-year low of $20.5 billion. According to figures compiled by U. S. News and World Report, our gold re serve has shrunk by $2.3 billion since 1950 while foreign claims against it have increased by $8 billion. Foreign governments, banks and citizens presently hold $14.9 billion in American dollars and that total is expected to rise to more than sl9 billion before the end of this year. Last year alone this country ran up a net deficit of $3.4 billion in its various foreign transactions and then is little prospect under present •oli cies for any reversal of this de pletion trend within the fore seeable future. • • • HOW r/.S THIS happened and what due i. mean? It has nappened because the United States has spent some S7O billion in foreign aid since the end of World War II building up the economies of other nations t the expense of its own. It has on the one hand subsidized the mod ernization and expansion of for eign industrial capacity while on the other hand its currency has been devaluated and its goods priced out of the world markets through the resulting deficit spending and inflationary wage price spiral at home.

Disposal Plant Plans on Way At Waycross Waycross is almost ready to let a contract for constructing a se wage disposal plant, according to a news article in Wednesday’s Waycross Journal-Herald. Another step toward construct ion of the city sewage disposal plant is underway with signing of the bonds here. The bonds will be delivered to the purchaser Goodbody and Co. in Atlanta Friday July 17. Mayor McGregor Mayo, City Clerk C. O. Parker and Erin John son, clerk Ware Superior Court clerk are now engaged in attach ing their signature to the bonds. Each must sign his name 1,030 times. Contract for construction of the sewage disposal plant, estimated at $1,200,000 will be awarded Thursday July 23, subject to ap proval of the United States Public Health Service and the Georgia Department of Public Health. Apparent low bidder for the sewage disposal plant is Livsey and Co., Atlanta, with a bid of $944,225. City Manager Clarence Eidson said that over-all cost of the pro ject is set at $1,280,000. Bonds were sold in the amount of $l - and $250,000 cost share is to be paid by the Federal Gov ernment. A break-down on cost of the sewage disposal plant given by the city manager shows actual construction cost at $1,043,600; engineers fee including resident engineer supervisor, $73,000; le gal cost, $5,000; administrative and fiscal cost, $10,500; project contingency $67,900; SBO,OOO for sewer extensions. The plant will be located on Screven Ave. Extension on a 40- acre tract between Cherokee Hills, Satilla River and Railroad track. quentiy, those countries we have helped are underselling our prod ucts not only throughout the rest of the world but also right here at home. Thus, more dollars are being channeled outside the United States each year than are coming into it. This means that if all foreign holders of American dollars si multaneously should demand the redemption of that outstanding currency in gold—which, at least theoretically, they could do—the United States would find itself in the impossible position of hav ing far less than the sl2 billion in gold required by law as a mini mum reserve to back its domestic currency and bank deposits. Should such a "run” on American gold ever occur, it unquestionably would touch off a catastrophic financial panic. FORTUNATELY, there is little likelihood *of such an extreme eventuality under present circum stances. but the fact that even the possibility of it exists should serve as a warning signa) for the United States to get busy setting its financial house in order. It is essentia) to the future security and prosperity of the United States that the value of the dollar be bolstered and world faith restored in it as a sound and stable currency. Those ends can be accomplished only through firm and immediate steps to check inflation, to restore reason to fed eral taxing and spending policies, to regain a favorable balance of world trade, to cease foreign give aways and to insist that the • we have so generously assisted now assist us in sharing the cost of manning the defenses of the Free World.

Indications are that prices will be good and that tobacco grow ers in this area can generally look forward to a profitable sell ing season. Some growers have suffered losses because of bad weather, but the damage to the leaf crop generally is not as ex tensive as was feared earlier this year. The U. S. government support price average on flue-cured leaf will be slightly above last year. The outlook is for another good tobacco market season. Attack Doesn't Spell to Patient, Says MAG Heart Doom By The Medical Association of Georgia Eighty per cent of the persons suffer heart attacks survice their first attack and most of them re cover to the extent that they en joy .many additional years of productive activity. This is the estimate of the A merican Heart Association, a vol untary agency dedicated to the fight against heart disease. This optimistic note emphasizes that a heart attack is no means a sen tence to invalidism. It is, how ever, a warning signal to ease up so the work load on the heart will be lighter. In medical terms, a heart at tack is a coronary thrombosis with mocardial infarction. This means that a blood clot, or throm bus suddenly closes off a coro nary artery that supplies blood to a part of the heart muscle or myocardium. These arteries are called coronary arteries be cause a branching network com ing off the two main trunks of these arteries — the left and right coronary arteries — encircle the top of the heart like a crown or corona. When a clot blocks one of these arteries, the center of the heart muscle area it supplies blood to usually, but not always, dies. This damaged area is called an infarct and the condition is myo cardial infarction. The condition underlying coro nary thrombosis is atherosclero sis or a thichening and a harden ing of the arteries. Nobody knows exactly what causes this condi tion. One theory is that the body mishandles fats by allowing them to accumulate in the arteries, causing a gradual narrowing. Re searchers are studying this prob lem in an effort to find out what causes it. Once the artery has narrowed, no one knows why a blood clot suddenly forms and blocks the flow of blood. But when this does happen the patient usually feels a heavy pressure or pain under the breastbone. This location is in the center of the chest on a line with the Summer School For Make-up Work To Begin Monday Summer school for students who wish to make up work will begin at Nahunta High School Monday, July 20, it is announc ed by Herschel W.

Along with the pain there is usually shortness of breath, sweating and a feeling of alarm. The pressure usually continues for several hours during which the part of the heart muscle that has been deprived of its blood supply struggles along with its work. As the tissues gradually die, they quit trying to work and pain subsides. The body’s cleanup cells move in and clear away the dead cells. This usually takes about a week and the pat ient usually has a slight fever during this period. Meanwhile, other arteries enlarge and begin to form new branches to supply blood to the area around the damaged section, or infarct. At the same time the heart is healing and a scar is developing at the infarct. The scar grows stronger as the weeks go by. Patients who have had heart attacks usually spend about three months convalescing and when they do go back to normal ac tivity they must take care not to overdo. But the encouraging thing is that the great majority of patients do return to normal activity. Treatment during a heart at tack depends on the circumstan ces of the individual case. When the physician first sees the pati ent, he usually gives him an in jection of morphine or some other drug to relieve the pain. Some patients require oxygen which makes breathing easier and re duces the work of the heart. This also increases the oxygen supply to the damaged area of the heart. Some patients are helped by drugs that impede the clotting of blood. DOC MAG SAYS: If someone suffers a heart at tack, call a doctor. Meanwhile, keep the victim as calm as pos sible. Don’t alarm him. Have him sit or lie properly up in bed. Let him have as much fresh air as he wants. Don’t give him soda even though he may mistake his heart attack for indigestion OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Opening July 23 Brantley Farmers to Vote In Meetings on August 15 Williams-Mills Mr. and Mrs. W.

Support On Flue-Cured Tobacco Raised WASHINGTON — The Agricul ture department announced Fri day it will support growers prices of 1959 crop flue cured tobacco at an average of 55 5 cents a pound. This compares with 54.6 cents last year. The support rate is designed to reflect 90 per cent of parity, the level fixed by farm law. Parity is a standard for measuring farm prices declared by law to be fair to farmers in relation to prices charged them for things they buy. Flue cured tobacco is grown in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Vir ginia. Rates will range from 82 cents for top grades down to 20 cents for certain nondescript grades. As in the past, price support on united tobacco in the Georgia- Florida marketing area will be 5 cents a pound below the regular rates for tied tobacco. The department said such va rieties as Coker 139, Coker 140 and Dixie Bright will be sup ported at one-half the rate for comparable grades of other va rieties. It said these three va rieties have been classified as “low to lacking in flavor and aroma, generally of light body and are currently with poor ac ceptance in the trade.”
