Turpentine Beetle Invades South Georgia Counties MACON, Aug. 9 — A Black Beetle infestation has been noted in Bryan and other South Geor gia counties, according to Georgia Forestry Commission Manage ment Chief W. H. McComb. McComb said that the infesta tion is in the early stages and should be treated now before it has a chance to spread. McComb added that heavy infestation may not only kill the tree but make it succeptible to other insect attack. The possibility of infection is greater during the warm months. Landowners are urged to in spect their trees at regular in tervals. The first signs of attack are spots of resin oozing from the lower trunk or exposed roots. The Black Turpentine Beetle is usually attracted to trees a round building sites. Attacks on shade trees may be prevented by spraying injured trees with 0.5 percent gamma isomer of BHC m water, by spraying pine trees a round building sites prior to con struction and by preventing in juries to the trees. If lawn and shade trees are al ready infested, they usually can be saved by spraying witn one percent gamma BHC in water. If beetle activity has not ceased af ter three weeks the trees should be resprayed. The insecticide should be applied only when the bark is dry and to a height of eight to ten feet. In the woods heavily infested trees should be cut and market ed. The stumps should be cut as low as possible and thoroughly sprayed with 0.5 percent gamma BHC in number two fuel oil.

Farm Bureau Opposes Federal Health Program Macon, Ga. — The Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Friday turned “thumb; down” on the proposed federal health care pro gram and advised Congress to control inflation instead, if it really wanted to help people over the age of 65. The Georgia Federation thus backed the 1,600,000 farm family member American Farm Bureau Federation in voicing strong op position to the Federal Govern ment getting further into a man datory check-off system whereby everybody would be taxed to pay for a program that has no con tractual relationship to the tax payer. The GFBF position was made known in a statement filed with Ways and Means Committee. The Committee is now considering H. R. 4222, better known as Medical Care to the Aged. Position of the Georgia Farm Bureau is based on policy de clarations established by approxi mately 38,000 Georgia farm fami lies. Harry L. Brown, President of the Georgia Federation declared individual and family responsi bility are cornerstones of the American way of life, and “we are not in favor of putting a statue of limitations on indivi dual responsibility and family loyalty.” Under the proposed program social security taxes would be in creased, and the Federal Govern ment would provide medical care for those over the age of 65 with out consideration of need. The Federation noted that a similar program in Great Britian comprised 14 percent of all gov ernment expenditures in that country last year. The Kerr-Mills Bill, enacted into law by Congress in 1960, pro vides, subject to state action, as sistance to the medically indigent.

It depends largely on the way they grow up. There is much that children should learn. Among the first things is what they can and can not do. It is much simpler if children are taught from the first what is expected of them in line with their age and development. Sometimes parents make the mis take of laughing at a child’s mis behavior only to punish the child when he grows older for doing the same thing. Be fair. Don’t re quire of a child what parents will not do. A positive rather than a nega tive method of guiding a child is easier and more appealing to a child and simpler for parents, too. Sometimes parents will say “If you do that I’ll punish you.” Only one suggestion is given — What not to do. It is much better to suggest something that the child should do. It saves punish ment most times, too. Children like to be involved in activities of the home. They can perform simple chores when they are very young. As they grow and develop skills they can take more and more responsibility. They should be permitted to have a voice in the planning as well as the work about the home. Children who share in the work, worship, recreation and planning as they grow up feel more a part of the family group. In this way they are more pre pared to accept whatever hap pens within the family. A good way to enjoy children in the home is to make games out of responsibilities. See who does theirs best or first, etc. Making things together can be fun. Be sure to see that all tasks are in line with interest, age and ability of the individual child so they can succeed. This encourages them to attempt more difficult tasks. Every child needs some time and space of his own. Group acti vities are fine but rest and quiet are important, especially during hot summer months. Do not neg lect provision for this important phase of a child’s life. Each child may choose a pro ject for the summer — to re decorate their room or the family may make a rumpus room in the basement. A girl may learn to cook and serve meals or a boy may like to garden or keep the yard. Dad may head the group in preparing and serving outdoor meals. In a well-regulated home child ren usually enter heartily into family activities. Well chosen family stories read together, singing, or perhaps a kitchen or chestra as well as family wor ship seem to weld families to gether. The celebration of special occasions such as birthdays, an niversaries and holidays can give great joy to families. Family hikes, trips and picnics are other ways to enjoy children. The sim ple things often afford the great est pleasure as well as the most treasured memories. Summer months can be long and tiresome without thought and planning. Children’s span of in terest is shorter than adults. We must remember that our young generation is wonderful and a lit tle thought and planning can sug gest many w’ays to enjoy the children in your life. Accidents kill one farm resi dent every 45 minutes in the United States, according to Ex tension Agricultural Engineer i Willis Huston. Brantley Enterprise P. O.

Vandiver Favors Keeping Strong National Guard ATLANTA — Addressing the annual convention of the Ameri can Legion’s Department of Geor gia, held in Columbus, Gov. Ernest Vandiver, in a speech en titled “The National Guard — Backbone of Our Defense,” said: “I view with special concern the adverse effect any reduction in National Guard strength would have on the nation’s a bility to achieve recovery. I would urge that rather than cut back opportunities for the youth of America to receive military training, such opportunities be in creased. “So long as this country con tinues to be threatened by the military a"d cold war aggressions of the Communist world, it should strengthen rather than lessen its military forces, in cluding effective reserve forces.” Gov. Vandiver said the Na tional Governor’s Conference, at its last two annual sessions, adopted a special report pictur ing the National Guard as the “backbone of all our defenses.” The Georgia governor had a leading role in preparing the ori ginal report at the 1960 confer ence in Montana. It was reaf firmed at the recent conference held in Honolulu. Now Read This! Now Read This!

HERMAN TALMADGE f I From WASHINGTON J BY PROVOKING A crisis over Berlin, Nikita Khrushchev unwittingly has done the Ameri can people a great favor. The threats of the Soviet Dic tator and President Kennedy’s n/m/mm'/' — — .1 fl \ could have done. The situation as it has developed has imparted a needed sense of urgency to efforts to build a defense estab lishment of sufficient size and capacity to meet and turn back any assault of any magnitude which the Russians may decide to unleash. It has forced a rec ognition on the part of those in high places that freedom cannot be defended successfully by sub stituting dollar diplomacy for ready divisions. THERE IS NO place in a struggle for survival such as that in which we are engaged for weakness, vacillation or ap peasement and the Russians had read all three into our previous policies characterized by reac tion and retreat in the face of their repeated successes in whip sawing us from crisis to crisis. Soviet Ambassador Menshikov had smugly observed that the Americans would not fight for Berlin.

At long and refreshing last the tables have been turned on the Kremlin and it now is up to the Soviets to react to our action for a change. Whether they put up or back down, they will brand them selves as either the aggressors or bluffers they are. The new American posture will also mean that this nation will be prepared to negotiate the Berlin and other world issues from a position of strength. Mr. Kennedy correctly and effective ly left the door to the conference room open, provided Khrushchev is willing to enter it in the spirit of the protestations of good in tentions which he often avows but has yet to demonstrate. firm and forth right response that the Unit ed States will not be bluffed by them have shattered com placency in this country as nothing else SO LONG AS Berlin remains a divided city 110 miles within the territory of Communist East Germany it will continue to pose a threat to world peace. That fact alone makes it absolutely essential that, while we must and will fight to uphold our treaty rights there, we must continue to explore every possi ble avenue for resolving with honor an intolerable legacy of the fuzzy diplomacy which ac companied and followed World War 11. The American people have al ways been long-suffering and forebearing in their foreign re lations, but once aroused they have never failed to prove the equal of any challenge. If Khrushchev does not believe that, he is in for a rude awaken ing at Berlin. His Caribbean puppet, Castro, would do well to take notes. w at government expense)
