Salute to Pharmacy This is National Pharmacy Week and an excellent time for us to consider for a moment the role the pharmacist plays in our society. Our usual contact with the pharmacist is in the community pharmacist. It is to him that we take our prescription orders for the dispensing of our prescribed drugs. His pharmacy serves our community as a health center and his education and experience makes him an excellent source of information regarding the use, handling and storage of our heal th needs. Questions concerning thermometers, syringes, other sick room supplies and first aid needs as well as drugs can be readily and expertly answered by our community pharmacists, whose services are available on an around-the-clock basis. Another role of the community pharmacist, is as an authorita tive drug advisor to our physi cian. The pharmacist serves the physician as an immediate source of information regarding the latest advance in drug therapy. Over 400 new drugs are introduc ed each year. It is therefore es sential that our physicians have someone to whom they can turn for the necessary information a bout these drugs. Although most of the 120,000 licensed pharmacists in this coun try are engaged in community practice, we must realize that there are many other important fields of endeavor in which phar macists have an important role. The highly individualized phar maceutical service we receive while in the hospital is provided by a hospital pharmacist. A lar ge number of pharmacists are employed within the drug in dustry. Many research, executive i and sales positions within the drug manufacturing and whole sale companies are handled by pharmacists. There are also a number of pharmacists who are employed within the govern-1 ment complex, local, state and national, as well as the many pharmacists who have devoted their lives to education. Thus we can see many aspects of our everyday life are influenc ed to a great degree by the work of our pharmacist — an impor tant member of our health team. So this week — National Phar macy Week — we take time to pay tribute to these men and women who are devoting their lives to our better healh. Farmers Warned About So-called Agr. Engineer' ATLANTA, Sept. 27 — The Georgia Department of Agricul ture today issued a warning to all farmers to view with cau tion and mistrust any free lance, so called “agricultural engineer” or “soil and fertilizer expert” who is trying to sell outlandish new ideas that have not and can not be backed by state or federal analysis. The Department of Agricul ture has received numerous calls from south and middle Georgia stating that a man, reportedly with offices in Florida, is dup ing the farmers in that area with outragious and unfounded claims of “new space-age” fertilizer and soil recommendations. Although his primary target seems to be fruit and nut farm ers, he is not limiting himself to any particulai- group. The Department of Agriculture warns all Georgia farmers to be ware of any fast operator with claims of working miracles for his crops. State officials have checked his claims and find no foundation for his recommenda tions and that they cannot be substantiated. Agricultural officials further request that if farmers are ap proached by any so called “ag ricultural engineer” whose claims have not been supported by state research, they should check with their county agent or report di rectly to the State Department of Agriculture. Homemaker Can Be Best Fireman' To Protect Home The most meaningful obser vance of National Fire Preven tion Week, October 7-13, can be conducted by every homemaker right in her own home, urges Miss Lucile Higginbotham, head of the Extension health depart ment, University of Georgia Col lege of Agriculture. The lady of the house, with the help of other members of the family, can be the most ef fective “fireman” simply by tak ing a little time to prevent a fire from ever starting. And, by giv ing each member of the family a little training in what to do in case a fire does start, she can give them a much better chance of surviving in event of fire by preventing the confusion and panic that often lead to death or injury. Although important anywhere, these precautionary measures are especially needed in rural areas where help may be slower coming, she said. Despite increasingly better fire protection and better building materials and home epuiqment, the danger of home fires is still great, Miss Higginbotham said. She pointed out the 800 deaths and property damage amounting to $165 million that resulted from farm fires alone last year. Fires can start from an endless number of sources, but a few still are the major causes in and around the home. Keep these pointers in mind while giving your home an inspection for po tential fire dangers, she suggests: Fires cannot start without the three elements of fuel, heat and air. These elements come togeth er every day in the home. The main causes of home fires are faulty heating equipment and chimneys, inadequate and over loaded electrical wiring, light ning, careless smoking, careless use of matches, unsafe handling and storage of gasoline, kerosene, oil, paints and varnishes and other flammable liquids. Most of these can be easily prevented. If your electrical system has not been inspected lately, this is a good time to have it done. Be sure that flammable liquids are sealed and stored away from water heaters, furnaces or other sources of heat. Protect light bulbs with glass guards to prevent igniting flam mable materials that may come into contact with them. Equip portable electric light with heavy duty cords and protective guards. Have an emergency water sup ply readily available. A farm pond with pumping equipment and adequate hose can give a good supply. And, finally, be sure every members of the family knows how to call the nearest fire protection unit quickly. MRS. GREGORY L. BERNARD Lovely Bride of Brantley County Man Mabry—Lee Mr. and Mrs. J. O.
