He replied that it could be summed up in three words — “and then some.” “I discovered at an early age,” he said, “that most of the difference between average people and top people could be explained in three words. The top people did what was expected of them — and then some. “They are thoughtful of others; they were considerate and kind — and then some. They met their obligations and responsiblities fairly and squarely — and then some. They were good friends and helpful neighbors — and then some. They could be counted on in an emergency — and then some.” —From Sunshine Magazine. Dog 'Adopts' Baby Squirrels Left Homeless by Hurricane The ill effects of Hurricane Donna was the beginning of motherhood for a Manchester dog called ‘Tiny,” whose master, Dale Hodges, resides on Johnson street. During the early hours Sunday morning when the effects of the hurricane were upon Pierce coun ty, the wind blew down a nest of three baby squirrels. Being rescued by the Hodges and giv en shelter, they were fed milk from a medicine dropper. Since motherhood comes .more than once, “Tiny,” who gave birth to a litter the first of the year, but had no say-so when they were given away, decided to a dopt the three baby squirrels, and did so. And like any mother, she protected them when strangers came around and is reported to have washed them daily. However, the story has a sad ending. On Wednesday morning, it was reported that “Tiny” had been separated from her newly adopt ed. It seems she may be expecting a litter of her own soon. SMALL GRAINS IN GEORGIA Small grains occupy approxi mately three-fourths of a million acres in Georgia each year. Os this acreage, slightly over one half is harvested for grain. In a few areas the small grain crops harvested for cash sale are of significant economic importance, but they are generally of greater value for forage production throughout the state, say econo mists for the University of Geor gia Agricultural Extension Ser vice. Agricultural chemicals should always be stored in original, la beled containers and kept out of reach of children and pets, says G. I. Johnson, engineers for the Georgia Agricultural Extension Service. A VACANT HOUSE loses money every day for the owner.

FATTEN STEERS ON WINTER PASTURE Steers can be profitably fatten ed on lush winter pastures, says R. O. Williams, Extension Service animal husbandman. Allow one acre of this forage per steer when rising it in the fattening process, he advises. Hems on heavy fabrics should be finished with he.ming tape, never turned twice, says Miss Peggy Ott, Extension clothing specialist. sand for rooting plants For the amateur gardener, a coarse grade of sand is one of the most satisfactory rooting medias for most ornamental plants, ac cording to Gerald Smith, Exten sion horticulturist. Builders sand or construction sand is ideal since it is course and clean. Fine sand or soil should be avoided be cause it provides poor aeration, he says.

Tougher Policy Os State Patrol Paid Dividends ATLANTA — Georgia’s specta cular, all-out traffic safety cam paign during the recent prolong ed Labor Day week-end was a big success. In fact, it was the best such performance of any Labor Day holiday records. Due largely to the cooperative efforts of the State Highway Pa trol, the GBI and local law en forcement officers, plus wide spread publicity through newspa pers and radio and TV stations over the state, accidents and re sultant deaths and injuries were held well below the predicted number. During the 78-hour period there were eight traffic fatalities in stead of the 18 predicted; there were 169 persons injured instead of the 230 predicted, and there were 441 accidents instead of the 500 that statistical calculations called for. The long week-end perform ance was, in fact, far better than on during an average 54-hour week-end. For example, during the Labor Day holiday period motorists traveled an estimated 158,059,980 miles and the death rate was 5.1 per 100 million miles traveled. The average week-end travel is 109,426,140 with a death rate of 9.2. State troopers rode 153,070 miles on Georgia roads during the Labor Day period just past They arrested 2,228 persons vio lating traffic laws and handed out warnings to 2,287 others. It was the largest number of arrests during a similar safety operation on record. “We are pleased with this per formance but not satisfied,” com mented Col. William P. Trotter, director of the Georgia Depart ment of Public Safety. “We wouldn’t be satisfied with only one traffic death because we believe these tragedies could be avoided. We intend to continue our present policy of strict law enforcement on Georgia’s roads in an effort to make them safer for all, motorists and pedestrians alike.” PARTNERS , I N HEA LT H SERV IC r Ernest Knight Phone GA 7-2254 Jesup, Ga.
