Pkgs sf.oo Sandy Tally Will In Annual Cherry Sandra Katherine Tally, talent ed and scholarly 19 year old beauty queen will represent Georgia in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, April 4-9. From Homerville, she reigns as the 1960-61 “Miss Geor gia” and will be making a return appearance in Washington having been featured on the Georgia float in the Inaugural Parade in January. Her selection was announced by Congresswoman Iris Blitch, also of Homerville, a close per sonal friend and next door neigh bor of Miss Tally and of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Tally. Mrs. Blitch said she was delight ed that the Eighth Congressional District had been asked to pro vide this year’s Festival Princess and that the glamorous Homer ville beauty had been selected. Brunswick Pulp and Paper Com pany, Brunswick, Georgia, will sponsor the float for the colorful Cherry Blossom Parade on April 8- . Winner of numerous athletic, scholastic and beauty awards while a student at Clinch County High, Sandy, as she prefers her friends to call her, was attending Wesleyan College in Macon when she was chosen for the State’s highest beauty honor. After be coming “Miss Pierce County” in 1959, Sandy went on to win the “Miss Georgia” contest the fol lowing year. While in Washington, the Geor gia Cherry Blossom Princess will be honored with a luncheon at Radical Changes Seen in Houses, Cars, Industry By 1975, a nation that has grown to 230 million in popula tion will have built an addi tional 22 million homes, cook dinner in “miracle” kitchens, rely on ultrasonic sound waves to wash clothes, which will be made mostly of synthetics, eat meat that is tenderized on the hoof and frozen-dried fruits and vegetables, and drive cars of lightweight aluminum, steel or plastic, according to Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. The current issue of the maga zine, looking ahead for the next 15 years, points out that ideas which may seem far-fetched now are not nearly so remote as present day products—jet planes, dishwashers and disposals, antibiotics — were 15 years ago, at the close of World War 11. Examining the “fabulous fifteen years ahead,” the magazine ed itors see a population growth from 182 million to 230 million; a gross national product in the neighborhood of a trillion dol lars; inflation that will shrink the dollar another 25 percent; individual incomes that are up 50 percent. The most growth will be in the West, Southwest, South east and the upper tier of the midwestern states, they predict, with the biggest population boosts coming in small fry, teen agers and young adults. All this growth, according to the editors, means more homes, more jobs, more schools. The working force will be around 100 million, over 30 million of them women. A higher percentage of them will be white-collar work ers, and the trend from farm to city and industry will continue. Professional people will be in demand, and the coming construc tion boom will make jobs for con tractors, carpenters, electricians and plumbers. The government — particularly state and local government — will employ about 25 percent more peoole. Phenomenal Computers Computers will develop a phe nomenal capacity to remember and analyze data, the article con tinues. They will be used in pro duction, in management, in gov ernment planning, in medicine and in air travel. The electronics industry will make dramatic strides in developing machinery for data processing. Automated machinery, using electronics as its brain and hands, will take over much of the manual work done in factories. Adequate Fertilization for Efficient Cotton Production Fertilize cotton for bigger pro fits. Reducing fertilizer applica tions to cut costs is false eco nomy. Fertilizer is a big factor in in creasing the efficiency of cotton production. In brief, when used with other good cultural prac tices, it lowers the cost of pro duction and thereby increases profits. It increases yields per acre and reduces the cost per pound, leaving more net profit to the farmer. General recommendations for cotton are 500 to 800 pounds per acre of 4-12-12 or 5-10-15 ferti lizer. To be more exact a farm er should have the soil in each field tested, and follow specific Represent State Blossom Festival MISS SANDY TALLY Cherry Blossom Princess the Capitol by Congresswoman Blitch. She will also attend num erous official functions and will be guest of honor during a ban quet and dance to be given by the Georgia State Society on April 5. In the Cherry Blossom Parade on April 8, Sandy will appear on the Georgia float. She is to be joined by Miss Ann Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Williams Jr. of Waycross, and other Georgia beauties now liv ing in the Washington area. Plastic Houses In housing construction, the editors predict, builders will have to trim the price of construction to equalize rising land costs. One way will be more prefabrication of wall and roof panels, flooring, brick work and even plumbing and electrical assemblies. Houses will be made of plastic — walls, floors, exterior, even the roof, with colors molded in, thus solv ing the problem of painting and maintenance; aluminum panel switches may eliminate structural framework since they would be load bearing. Such walls, hooked up to an electrical current, could also be used for heating, as could decorative wall surfaces of alu minum. Porcelain-enameled alu minum bathroom equipment is on the way, as well as more lightweight aluminum appliances. In steel, the magazine sees a revival of the all-steel prefab house, using the curtain wall principle that has proved success ful for office buildings, as well as interior walls — textured and patterned in steel — that are mounted on rollers for rearrange ment whenever the mood strikes. Tomorrow’s Kitchen Tomorrow’s kitchen is already on the way, the article continues. There will be units consisting of a freezer and electronic oven that will produce a full meal in 10 or 15 minutes; cabinets, ovens, dish washers, and refrigerators that can be automatically lowered or raised to suit the housewife; au tomatic plastic dish makers in the kitchen; ultrasonic dishwashers; noiseless refrigerators. There will be refrigerated cabinets and drawers scattered around the kit chen; stoves that can be turned off and on by dialing “instruc tions” from a phone booth; con cealed faucets; built-in beverage bars; plug-in gas appliances; serv ers and dishwashers that auto matically go back and forth be tween kitchen and dining room or patio; water heaters that never run out of hot water. Housekeeping by Remote Control The housewife will have va cuum cleaners that run them selves, and homes in the suburbs will have power mowers that do the same thing. Small washer dryers will replace the bathroom hamper; closed-circuit TV will help keep an eye on the baby; fuel cells in the basement will provide power. Ultrasonic sound waves will wash dishes and clothes. Thermo electric refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners will be quieter and more efficient. Radi os, TV sets and hi-fi equipment will be smaller, as tiny compact rons, diodes and transistors con tinue to replace bulky tubes and other components. recommendations based upon these tests. A high percentage of soils need lime for more efficient cotton production. A ton of lime per acre, applied to an acid soil, can increase seed cotton yield by ap proximately 500 pounds over a 5- year period, which js the period of lime effectiveness in the soil. A return of about $60.00 for a ton of lime costing $7 to $9 is a good investment. Today, all farmers are con fronted with a big challenge to increase their operating effi ciency and reduce their costs in every possible way. Using enough fertilizer of the right kind is one good way to do it. Want Ads TOBACCO PLANTS FOR SALE Broadleaf Hicks tobacco plants for sale. Now ready. See Riley Johns, Route 1, Nahunta.

New Food, New Clothes The magazine sees a whole new family of synthetics on the way, to make clothing light, durable, easily maintained. Also, in an other ten years or so, the article predicts food stores will be sell ing beef, and maybe pork, lamb and poultry, tenderized on the hoof through special feeding of the cattle; precooked canned roast beef; freeze-dried foods — foods that are dried, then frozen and put into airtight cans or pouches where they will keep for years. As for atomic-ra diated foods (no refrigeration needed), the editors say research is well along and they should be available between now and 1975. Traffic Jam Growth over the next 15 years will also create a traffic jam, ac cording to Changing Times. By 1975, nearly three-quarters of the population will live and work in metropolitan areas. To move them from home to job and back will make today’s com muting problems look simple.

But there still will be cars — although they will look differ ent, may function in different ways. The roof may be made of indestructible, glasslike materials. Bodies will be of lightweight steel, aluminum, maybe even of plastic so tough it can compete with metals. Motors will be smaller, and routine maintenance will be far less of a problem than now. Other changes will include total disappearance of the floor hump; devices that consume ex haust fumes and gases; central hydraulic units providing pow er for brakes, steering wheels, wipers, air conditioning, suspen sion; limited use of gas turbine Stock Yard News At our sale last Friday, hog prices were as follows: RI, $17.00; LI, $17.- 00; Hl, $15.75; EHI, $14.75; No. 2, $16.05; No. 3, $15.25; No. 4, $15.06; No. 5, $15.60; LR, $13.60; HR, $13.- 30 and males, $9.15.
