GEORGIA HERITAGE — A museum maintained by the Georgia
Historical Commission in Jefferson, Georgia (on U.S. 129), is a
memorial shrine to one of the state’s greatest heroes. Al
though he raised no hand in battle against red-painted, red
coated, or blue-coated enemies, Dr. Crawford W. Long was a
fighter in the war against pain. His pioneer use of sulphuric
ether to deaden the agony of surgery has been recognized wide
ly; his bust is in the National Hall of Fame. Bom in Daniels
ville, Georgia in 1815, Crawford Williamson Long studied at
Danielsville Academy and the University of Georgia before en
tering medical studies at Transylvania College in Kentucky and
later at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, where
he received his M.D. in 1839. Two years later he began practice
in Jefferson, Georgia. Dr. Long’s theory that sulphuric ether
eould be effective anaesthetic against pain in surgery was
proven on March 30, 1842 during an operation to remove a cyst
from a friend’s neck. (The Jefferson Museum contains a diorama
which shows Dr. Long performing the historic operation.) _

Ticks Are Small
But Can Cause
Serious Trouble
Rocky mountain spotted fever,
tularemia, Q fever and Colorado
tick fever.
Pesky — ticks may be small —
they vary in length from one
eight to three-eights inch — but
these diseases are some of the big
trouble they can cause.
What with warm weather, the
approaching vacation season, and
the increasing popularity of fami
ly picnics and other outings, Miss
Lucile Higginbotham, head of
the Extension Service health de
partment at the University of Ga.,
said this week that it’s important
to learn the dangers of ticks and
some ways to avoid their bites.
She says a walk through the
woods, undergrowth or shrubs
may end with ticks attached to
your body. They also can be
transmitted by contact with dogs,
sheep, cattle and other mammals.
According to Miss Higginboth
am, the species most often invol
ved in this part of the country
are the so-called hard ticks, such
as the dog tick, the wood tick
and the Lone Star tick. She ex
plains that infection of humans
may occur from the tick bite it
self or from contamination of the
bite wound.
The health specialist suggests
searching your body, including
the scalp, after possible exposure.
“And the sooner the better,” she
adds. “The longer ticks are at
tached the more likely they are to
transmit disease if infected.”
To remove a tick, Miss Higgin
botham suggests covering its body
with an oily substance. It may
turn loose. If it doesn’t, you may
use tweezers, first sliding a knife
blade under its body.
After removing the tick, Miss
Higginbotham suggests washing
the bite wound gently with wa
ter, then applying an antiseptic.
“Be sure to wash hands after
wards,” she advises.
Tick repellents are now avail
ible at most drugstores, and Miss
Higginbotham says using one of
’hese before a trip into the woods
is a good idea.

Loan Rates for
Flue-Cured Leaf
Are Announced
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has announced the sched
ule of loan rates by grades for
1963 crop flue-cured tobacco. The
loan rates reflect an average price
support level of 56.6 cents per
pound, whi( j is an increase of
1 per cent over the 1962 crop.
As recommended by the Na
tional Tobacco Industry Advisory
Committee, grade standards and
grade price supports have been
substantially revised for the
1963 crop to reflect more adequa
tely current standards of usa
bility and desirability demanded
by the market. Price supports
under the revised grade standards
for high quality, mature tobacco
have been increased and price
supports on low quality tobacco
have been lowered. Immature,
tight and slick grades of tobacco
will be supported from 12 to 14
cents per pound lower than for
corresponding grades of mature
tobacco.
Other grades of unripe, close
or tight leaf structure tobaccos
also carry appropriate price dif
ferentials from comparable fami
ly groupings of ripe & firm leaf
structure tobaccos. Increased
price supports on the more de
sirable tobacco will offset the
lower supports on low quality
tobacco, and reflect the increase
of 1 percent in the average sup
port level.
Under the 1963 price support
schedules, a farmer who produces
a quality crop equal to the aver
age quality of the recent 10-year
crops is assured an average sup
port of 56.6 cents per pound.
USDA emphasizes that under the
1963 program the grade of to
bacco and the resulting price
support level will depend on the
quality of the tobacco marketed.
The responsibility to produce
quality tobacco for a favorable
price rests with each farmer.
As in past years, growers will
offer their tobacco at auction
markets in the usual manner and
price support will be made avail
able through the Flue-cured to
bacco Cooperative Stabilization
Corporation to farmers who com
ply with their farm acreage allot
ments. As previously announced,
tobacco identified as “discount
Variety” tobacco again will be
supported at one-half of the sup
port rates for comparable grades
of other varieties.
The Department also an
nounced that the experimental
program of limited price sup
ports on untied tobacco of lugs,
primings, and nondescript grades
thereof in the traditional tied
areas will be continued during
the first 7 sale days of 1963.
Price support will be available
simultaneously for tied tobacco
of all grades during the same
period and throughout the sea
son.
Tied and untied tobacco will
be displayed separately on ware
house floors and untied tobacco
will be graded first during the
first 7 days of sales. Price sup
ports on tied tobacco will be 6
cents per pound higher than for
untied tobacco for each grade.
Additional copies of the loan
scheduled may be obtained from
the Policy and Program Apprais
al Division, Agricultural Stabil
ization and Conservation Service,
USDA, Washington 25, D. C.
Flue-cured tobacco is grown in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and
l Virginia.

NEEDLE CAST
CAUSES BROWNING
OF PINE NEEDLES
Although there hasn’t been a blaze
within miles, some Georgia pine
trees this time of year look like
they’ve had a hot fire under them
Needle cast probably caused the
needles to turn brown. George D.
Walker, Cooperative Extension Ser
vice forester at the University of
Georgia, said this is a common di
sease of pines that usually shows up
in the spring.
Mr. Walker added that this is not
something to become alarmed about.
“Needle cast does not kill trees,” he
said.
If pine needles do begin to turn
brown, the Extension forester ad
vises checking the trees closely. “If
the browning is from the tips of the
needles, you can breathe a sigh of
relief that you have needle cast
rather than damage from insects or
a more serious disease.”
Mr. Walker explained that needle
cast causes browning at the tips;
the base usually will remain green.
He continued that needles nearer the
ground are usually hit hardest. This
is the reason the trees appear to
have had a fire under them.
SHOULD LOOK GOOD, TOO
Pointing out that food should look
good to eat, Cooperative Extension
Service nutritionists asked home
makers to remember that the sight
of food — including the color, shape,
size and texture — should tempt
one’s appetite

AN ALL-OUT DRIVE has
been launched to bear down on
members of the United Nations
who are past due in paying
their costs of operating the
world organization.
Eugene R. Black, former dis
tinguished Georgian and past
president of p
the World
Bank, has been
named to head ;
this bill collect- ;
ing effort, |
which, it is '
hoped, will res- ।
eue the UNI
from the verge |
of bankruptcy.
His job will be to try to per
suade governments to pay an
over-due $122 million—mostly
for UN operations in the Congo
and the Middle East—and meet
their financial obligations in
keeping with the charter of the
organization.
However, judging from the re
calcitrance of some delinquent
nations, especially the Soviet
Union and others in the Com
munist bloc, the prospects for
collecting this money appear
dim at this time.
A RECENT report showed
just how critical UN finances
are at this time. Because of the
failure of many nations to pay
their assessments, the UN is
going deeper in the red and by
the end of this year will have a
debt of almost S2OO million.
Most of the trouble comes in
getting members to pay for so- '
called peace-keeping operations
after they have voted them into
existence. Twenty-five nations i
have paid nothing on their Mid- 1
die East assessments, and 48
members have paid nothing for
the Congo operations. 4

THE UNITED STATES, up
to now, has tried to make up
these deficits by paying an ad
ditional 16 per cent of UN costa
over and above our normal as
sessment of 32 per- cent These
voluntary extra contributions
have been made for the past
six years.
I
V 4 ** Shk
But now we have drawn ths
line, and rightly declared that
the United States will pay no
more than its 32 per cent unless
other members settled their
debts. While we should be will
ing to do our share in trying
to make the UN work, we are
under no obligation to pick up
the tab for delinquent members,
especially those which are dedi
cated to the destruction of the
Free World. x -
THE UN CHARTER provides
that members which are two
years behind in their contribu
tions to the organization can
lose their votes in the General
Assembly. This could mean loss
of votes by Communist-bloc
countries next year. Though this
would curb their disruptive ac
tivities in the UN, it still would
leave hanging the outstanding
debt.
Countries which hold mem
bership in the UN should be told
in no uncertain terms that they
must live up to its charter, and
meet their financial obligations
or get out of the organization.
