Exports of peanuts and pi miento peppers are even higher -97 and 95 percent respectively. The state also ships out 63 per cent of the peaches and 65 percent of the pecans it produces. Editorial Opinion FROM OTHER NEWSPAPERS The Week That Was It was one of those weeks that ought not to happen to people. The editor got sick on Sunday and couldn’t make it to work Monday Printer Bill Britt’s wife got sick Monday and Bill missed that day. Pressman Frank Darity got a catch in his back Wednesday and had to go to bed. Linotype Opera tor Bill Clark got the flu aches on Thursday and had to go home for several hours but struggled back to help get out the Unadilla paper. Sometime during the per iod, Printer Rudy Wagonhoffer pulled some tendons in his arm and had to get it wrapped up (a one-armed printer is in about the same shape as a one-armed pap er hanger). All in all, it was kind of a nightmare. Although our crew never won any beauty contests, they looked mighty pret ty when they all got back on the job at the end of the week ... on pay day. Our biggest error of the week was having a “live” man in a headline on a funeral story. Things have just gotta get better. Shave and a Haircut Remember the old jingle, “Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits.” That day is a thing of the distant past — so long ago that only us oldtimers remember it. What brings it up now is the increase in haircut prices in Perry to $1.25 each and shaves to 85 cents. We can recall when haircuts in this area were 25 cents and shaves 15 cents. The ability to recall these prices dates a lot of people. One man said that Cochran prices for haircuts got down to a nickle back during a price war in the depresion. Modern barbers are more business-like, and do not get mad enough with each other to get into a price war. They dis cuss “mutual problems” and the result is a higher price for hair cuts and shaves. —Cooper Etheridge in The Houston Home Journal Clear Insight A small boy asked his father the meaning of the word “trans atlantic” and was told that it meant “across the Atlantic.” “Well, does ‘trans’ always mean across?” asked the boy. “Yes,” replied the boy. “Then,” said the small boy meekly, “I suppose ‘transparent means a cross parent.” Growing Pains At twenty, a man thinks he can save the world; at thirty he be gins to wish he could save part of his own salary. —Clipped Slaughter on the Highways Os all the grim records of violence and death down through mankind’s long history, perhaps the strangest and most tragic is the story of the automobile and its annual army of victims. Since the first horseless carriage chugged noisily down cobblestone streets, more than 60,- 000,000 Americans — killed, crippled and maim ed — have inscribed their names on what has been aptly referred to as “the dishonor roll.” By whatever name, the yearly casualty count con tinues its shameful, senseless growth. Last year was no exception. In fact 1963 claimed the dubious distinction of being the worst single year in the history of highway safe ty. During its twelve months, automobile acci dents were responsible for more deaths than the U. S. Armed forces suffered in the entire Korean War. According to an authoritative report by The Travelers Insurance Companies, the nation’s traffic death toll surged to an all-time high as a total of 42,700 men, women and children died on our streets and highways. The annual coun try-wide survey based on information provided by state motor vehicle departments revealed that the 1963 carnage topped the figure of near ly 40,000 persons killed in 1941 —a record high which stood for twenty years — and even sur passed the new record of 40,500 deaths estab lished in 1962. Incredibly, more persons have died on the highways than on our nation’s battlefields; more have been injured in auto accidents than in all the world’s wars combined. This roll call of highway fatalities is no secret document hidden from the public gaze. In news papers and bulletins, legal and police reports, in courtrooms and judges’ chambers, the names on the dishonor roll and their innocent victims are made known to all. And not the names a lone, but the catalogue of their deeds; driving while drunk, speeding, violating the rules of the road, failure to dim lights, driving on the wrong side of the road, etc. These are a few of their offenses. In an end less roll call the names are read, and the judge ments given. Then, all too often, the dishonored heedlessly proceed to emblazon their names a gain on the shameful record. What is the solution to this national disgrace? Obviously, no one has found it to date. Statis tics, pledges and slogans have seemingly had little effect on the American public. None of these have brought about lasting improvement in any segment of the basic problem. None of them have sparked that dead-serious personal commitment to greater care behind the wheel which is necessary if we are to reduce the spreading epidemic of traffic slaughter. When will we succeed in bringing the scourge of needless casualties under some degree of con trol? Frankly, no one really knows the ans wer . . . Perhaps no significant improvement can be expected until the great majority of us learn to look upon the problem as a personal challenge rather than one which is primarily up to the other fellow! Will History Repeat Here? The average age of the world’s great civili zations has been 200 years. These nations pro gressed through this sequence: From Bondage to spiritual faith From spiritual faith to great courage From courage to liberty From liberty to abundance From abundance to selfishness From selfishness to complacency From complacency to apathy From apathy to dependency From dependency back again to Bondage In 16 years our United States will be 200 years old. This cycle is not inevitable — it depends upon YOU! —Reprinted from Manage Maga zine, January, 1961. Currently A man selling vacuum cleaners knocked on the door of a farm house. When the farmer’s wife opened it, the salesman said, “Madam, I want to show you something you’ll never forget!” Before she could answer, he threw a sackful of dirt across the clean floor. “Now,” he went on, “I want to make a bargain with you If this latest model doesn’t pick up every last bit of dust. I’ll eat it.” “Here’s the spoon,” the farm er's wife said. We don’t have e ’ectricity.” MORE MONEY FROM BEEF The goal of more dollars from beef cattle can be reach- ed by following three practi ces, says Dr. O’Dell G. Daniel, head of the Cooperative Ex tension Service animal hus bandry department. The three practices are: wean heavier calves; wean better calves; wean more calves. To Tell the Truth An old fellow walked into th' unemployment office and asked for the necessary papers to fil out. Laboriously he spelled hi name: George Washington. The amused clerk inquired. “Were you the one who cut down the cherry tree?” “No. sir.” the old fellow re plied, “I haven't had any work for more'n a year now.” Doc MAG Says By the Medical Association of Georgia A lot of the practice of medi cine goes on behind the scene - that is, in the laboratory. Path ilogist — physicians who special ize in diagnosing the changes in issues removed at operations and >ost-mortem examinations gener ally direct work in a laboratory. Working alongside them are var ious persons often referred to as paramedical personnel. They in clude cytotechnologists who spec ialize in the study of the cell; histologic technicians who special ize in the study of the structure of tissue with a microscope, and echnicians who work mainly on studies dealing with radioisotopes, and radioactive forms of chemi cals. These persons have usually been trained in schools approved by the American Medical Associa tion and are registered to do the certain kind of job they are train ed for. Certified medical laboratory as sistants are usually high school graduates who have had an ad ditional year of laboratory train ing. They assist registered medi cal technologists who usually hold bachelor of science degrees. Other workers, generally term ed laboratory technicians, include people with no formal training, graduates of commercial schools or schools operated by one of the when a low cost HOME LOAN may be the answer First, borrowing keeps your emergency savings intact and growing.

The number and complexity of new laboratory procedures and the new automated devices devel oped each year require skilled, well-trained workers. New re search facilities, more hospital beds, growing numbers of physi cians and an increasing popula tion call for more laboratory wor kers. A study made by a Georgia State College professor for the year 1962 showed that 900 person^ were employed as laboratory tech nicians in Georgia. That year there were 45 vacancies for such workers. An estimated 1,477 labor atory technicians will be needed by 1970. Yet Georgia has only one school, at Clarkesville, Georgia which graduates 11 a year. In 1952 there were 513 medica’ technologists in Georgia. Fifty three positions were vacant at the time of the survey and an esti mated 838 medical technologist will be needed by 1970. In 198 r sixty-one students completed med ical technology training. There are 17 hospital schools of medi cal technology where student with three years of prereauisite college credits can take the fourt l " year of internship and become re gistered medical technologists. The n’-mber of training position* available in Georgia is 177 and seven colleges in the state have preparatory academic programs for medical technologists. DOC MAG SAYS: If you’re interested in becoming a laboratory worker, talk to your school’s vocational advisor, offi cials of the hospital in your area or your doctor.
