Doc MAG Says By the Medical Association of Georgia Tests Can Usually Tell If Early Pregnancy Exists Sometimes it is desirable to know whether a woman is pregnant before it comes ob vious. Several tests which can resolve the question are avail able. All of them depend upon the presence in blood and ur ine of a hormone produetd in pregnancy my the placenta called the choriogonado tropi charmone. It is produced in large quantities between the sixth and sixteenth weeks of a normal pregnancy. The tests may be native be fore the sixth week and after the sixteenth week even though the woman is pregnant. They may also be negative if the pregnancy is interrupted or the placenta expelled. Urine is used in the tests or serum from the blood of the patient. The specimen is usu ally injected into animals. In adequate amounts choriogona dotropic hormone causes changes in the ovaries of mice and rabbits, and the product ion of eggs or sperm in frogs. After an appropriate period following the injection, the animals are examined for evi dence of these changes. Animals are not used in a recently developed serological test for pregnancy. Serology is the science of serum react ions. It treats of the relations of antibodies and antigens. Pregnancy tests are useful tn diagnosing conditions other than pregnancy. Certain Tu mors occuring in both males and females produce a hor mone which also causes posi tive pregnancy tests. The tests are therefore helpful in diag nosing such tumors and in e valuating the results of treat ment. Pregnancy tests are time consuming and expensive. They should not be requested simply on the basis of curio sity or anxiety. Furthermore, they are not always accurate. Hormone levels vary during pregnancy. There are indivi dual differences as well. Sea sonal and other differences in response are found in animals. All these factors influence test results and help account for less than perfect accuracy. Doc MAG says: If there’s good reason for finding out if pregnancy exists before the usual and obvious signs appear, tests for doing this are available. They aren’t always accurate, however, and take time and are costly. They shouldn’t be indiscrimately re quested. Editor’s Note: Would you like Doc MAG to discuss some health topic of paticular in terest to you? If so, send your request on a post card to DOC MAG Says, The Medical As sociation of Georgia, 938 Peachtree Street, N. E., At lanta 9, Georgia. Thank you.

MISINFORMED' ON HIS PROPOSAL, THEY SAY Wayne Commissioners Apologize For Criticism of Senator Zorn State Senator William A. Zorn of Jesup has received a public onology from the Wayne County tommissioners for remarks pre viously made concerning amend ments proposed to the new State Constitution. “We want to extend to Senator torn our sincere apo’ogy for our "emarks,” stated the Commiss oners. “We now understand that Senator Zorn was trying to pro toct the people of Georgia.” Senator Zorn was the author of imendments to the new Consti tution which would have prevent ed local governments from adopt ing “public accomodations” or dinances as well as ordinances “relating to what people or class PRACTICAL FAMILY LIVING BY LUCILLE HIGGINBOTHAM Extension Health Specialist University of Georgia College of Agriculture The rapid technlogical and so ciological changes taking place in our world today demands finer preparation of our youth. Along with better general and specializ ed education must come greater skill in human relations. Studies show that 83 percent of the fail ures in professions is from not being able to get along harmon iously with others. Foundations for all learning be gin in the home. Interpersonal skills begin with the individual’s feelings about himself. If basic needs are not met within the homes, most likely individuals will feel robbed of them in the outside world. Individual basic needs are the following: (1) To live and function, (2) To love and be loved, (3) To be a member of a group, (4) To feel adequate and worthy and (5) To believe in something lasting. We realize that all people can not have all of these needs met all the time but the loss surely needs to be only temporary. They are particularly essential for young children.

Junior Gardners To Be Organized By Garden Club The Nahunta Garden Club is sponsoring an organization to be known as the Junior Gardeners. All girls who will enter the 4th. sth and 6th grades of the Nahun ta Grammar School this coming year are invited to join.

The Junior Gardeners’ main interest will be in beautifying their school grounds, which is in keeping the Garden Club Theme for the year: “Beautification of City and Homes’’. Their first meeting will be held Friday, June 26 at 3:00 P. M. on the Grammar School yard. Please bring pencil and notebook. Play clothes are the order of the day. Refreshments will be ser ved.

A RECORD FOR DHIA The Dairy Herd Improvement Association in Georgia enjoyed its most successful year in history in 1963. W. H. McKinney, dairyman with the Cooperative Extension Service, said 346 herds completed the testing program last year. The average cow on test produc ed 9,752 pounds of milk and 381 pounds of fat. of people shall be employed by any private employers”. The a mendments were defeated by a close vote in the Senate in a fight led by Georgia’s only Negro Sen ator, Leroy Johnson of Atlanta. The amendments are expected to be adopted by the House of Rep resentatives. After admitting that they did not discuss the matter with Zorn before issuing their Statement, the Commissioners stated that they had been misinformed as to “the purpose, intent and affect” of the amendments. In commenting on the matter, Senator Zorn praised the Com missioners for their fairness, and dismissed the event as being poli tically inspired. When we analyze each need we can see that education needs to be only temporary. They are par ticularly essential for young child ren. When we analyze each need we can see that education needs to be stimulating and challenging. It should be directed toward ability and administered at the child’s own rate of learning. Mental ill ness can result from the use of fright and fear in pushing a child beyond his limits. Ethical principles and Christian relationships are becoming more needed for smooth-running organi zations. They promote loyalty and efficiency. Youth should have in structions and examples to follow for their future. It behooves each and every a dult to help all young people pre pare themselves in the best way possible for future years. Any per son who is permitted to fail to reach his highest potential is a loss to himself and to every other citizen as well. —By Audrey Mor gan, head, Family Life Depart ment, University of Georgia Co operative Extension Service.

Supports Leaf Price Announced WASHINGTON -The Agricul ture Department announced Mon day that price support rates for 1964 crop flue-cured tobacco will range from 24 to 84 cents a pound, depending on grade. The loan rates are designed to reflect an average of 57.2 cents a pound, an increase of one cent above last year. Increases in grade price sup ports have been made, the de partment said, in such manner as to maintain increased price guarantees on the more desirable tobacco with appropriate differ entials on low quality tobacco. As was the case last year, im mature, tight and slick grades will be supported from 12 to 14 cents a pound lower than for cor responding grades of matured to bacco. Flue-cured tobacco is grown in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Vir ginia. As in past years, growers who cooperated with planting allot ments will offer their tobacco at auction markets in the usual manner. Price support will be made available through the Flue- Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stab ilization Corporation acting as an agent for the department. Tobacco identified as “discount variety” will be supported at one half of the support rates for com parable grades of other varieties. The department also announced that an experimental program of limited price supports mi untied tobacco of lugs, primings and nondescript grades in the tied areas will be continued during the first seven sale days in 1964. Price supports will be available simultaneously for tied tobacco of all grades during the same per iod and throughout the season. Tied and untied tobacco will be displayed separately on ware house floors. Untied tobacco will be graded first during the first seven days of sales. Price sup ports on tied tobacco will be six cents a pound higher than for untied tobacco for each grade. USDA Reports Tobacco Stocks At Record High The U. S. Department of Agri culture reports that leaf tobacco stocks were at a record high le vel as of April 1. According to the Quarterly Stocks Report of USDA’s Agri cultural Marketing Service, leaf tobacco inventories of dealers and manufacturers in the continental United States and Puerto Rico to taled 5.3 billion pounds (farm sales-weight) as of April 1. This also was 242 million pounds more than a year earlier. The Agricultural Marketing Ser vice says most of the overall in crease was in stocks of flue cured and burley, which were up 3 percent and 12 percent. Stocks of Maryland, fire-cured, dark air cured, and cigar filler types al so were higher than a year ear lier. Holdings of the binder and ci gar wrapper types were down slightly. Overall stocks of impor ted cigar leaf were lower than a year ago because of the re duction of Cuban leaf inventories. Stocks as of April 1 included nearly 1.1 billion pounds of leaf under government loan. This was 366 million pounds more than a year earlier. The Quarterly Stocks Report shows that flue-cured tobacco stocks as of April 1— at 2.6 bil lion pounds — were 85.8 million pounds larger than a year ear lier. Burley stocks — at 1.7 bil lion pounds — were 179.3 million pounds larger than a year ago. Fire-cured tobacco stocks — at 139.4 million pounds — were up 3.2 million pounds, while dark air-cured stocks — at 76.8 mil lion pounds — were up 2.7 mil lion pounds from a year earlier. SMALLPOX INCREASES Latest figures show that small pox is up an average of 13 per cent in most areas of the world, says Miss Lucile Higginbotham of the Extension Service health de partment. She pointed out that the U. S. has had no confirmed case since 1949, but adds that the dang er of the disease being brought in by an international traveler is al ways present. OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Miss Frances Ellis and Mr. Edmund Hendrix were Married June 20th The Hickox Baptist Church was the setting for the lovely wedding on Saturday evening, June 20, at 7:30 which united in marriage Miss Jessie Frances Ellis and Wiley Edmond (Ned) Hendrix. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl S. Ellis and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. ’ and Mrs. W. W. Hendrix, both of ! Nahunta. The Rev. Marvin Smith of Homerville performed the cere mony before a large group of friends and relatives. The pew was banked with greenery and large baskets of white gladioli. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was radiant in a floor length gown of silk orange over taffeta and featured a sa brina neckline accented with lace! and clusters of pearls and se quins, which were also featured in the center front skirt. The em press waist featured long sleeves from which flowed a short train. The bride’s veil of illusion fell from a crown of orange blossoms and pearls. The cascade bouquet of carna tions, baby breath, and orchids was carried by the bride. As her matrsn of honor, the bride chose the groom’s sister, Mrs. Bobby Lackey, who was at tired in a gown of sunset pink peau de soie. The filled bodice, with cap sleeves featured a large cabbage rose placed at the waist in the back. Her picture hat al so featured a smaller cabbage rose at the back. She carried a smaller cascade fashioned after the brides bouquet in the same sunset pink color. Miss Margaret Ellis and Miss Lynn Herrin were bridesmaids; Miss Karen Hendrix Jr. brides maid; and Miss Cathy Ham flow er girl, wore dresses identical to the matron of honor. Attending the bridegroom as best man was the grooms father, W. W. Hendrix. Ushers were the grooms brothers, Steve Hendrix and Freddy Hendrix and his brother-in-law Bobby Lackey and Terry Allen. Miss Marion Morgan, pianist accompanied Miss Linda Burden, who sang “Sweetest Story Ever Told”, “Seal Us”, and “Be cause”. Mrs. Ellis chose for her daugh ter’s wedding a turquoise dress with silver beaded bodice with silver accessories and a corsage of pink carnations. The bridegroom’s mother wore E'" '' z « ■ ■ ■to* torts From Si ■ a® SB ■ .'to*, ' HINGTON THE NATION S economy made some impressive and en couraging gains during the first quarter of this year which in dicate that general business conditions are fairly good. Industrial production, accord ing to the Fed eral Reserve index, made its largest in crease in April for any month since a year ago. Employ ment has risen sharply, and are spending more freely. Although it is still too early to assess what effect the recent tax cut has had on spending, reports for the month of May indicate that sales have picked up some. Some people are using their portion of the increased income to pay their debts, but others are taking on new cr.es. Installment debt so far this year has increased at a $6.1 billion annual rate, compared to last year’s record increase oi $5.7 billion. * * * THE LATEST FIGURES cr. employment are impressive in deed. The rise in production and increased trade has had a favor able effect on the employment situation. Total employment in April, seasonally adjusted, increased by three quarters of a million persons. The entire quarter showed an increase in non-farm employment of one and a half million persons, three times as much as in the same period last year and equal to the gain for the preceding 17 months. However, this new employ- .

Following the double-ring cere mony a reception was held in the church social hall. The brides ta ble, which was overlaid -with white, held the three-tiered wed ding cake which was topped with a minature bride and groom. The table featured the sunset pink arrangements at each cor ner and a large white arrange ment. The punch table also fea tured the sunset pink flower ar rangements in the comer with a silver punch set. Miss Gail Strickland and Mrs. Jimmy Tho mas served cake and Miss Nao mi Moody and Miss Sara Ann Gibson served punch. Miss Sherry Hendrix kept the bride’s book. The bride chose for her tra veling outfit a lovely blue linen two-piece suit with white acces sories. She wore a white orchid corsage from her bride’s bouquet. The couple left immediately af ter the reception for a trip to the mountains. They will reside in Jacksonville, Fla. ON DIABETES There are no patent medicines that are helpful in overcoming diabetes, according to Miss Lu cile Higginbotham, head of the Cooperative Extension Service health department. She said the only scientific treatments for dia betes include a prescribed diet, and perhaps insulin as recom mended by a physician. MULCH PECANS Mulching is very important for young transplanted pecan trees, advises R. L. Livingston, head of the Extension Service horticulture department. It conserves water, prevents crusting of the soil sur face, prevents weed growth and competition, and decreases the a mount of irrigation water needed for the tree’s survival. ON CHILD CARE A child feels quite differently about discipline as a guiding hand and discipline as a whip, says Miss Audrey Morgan, head of the Cooperative Extension Service family life department. She points out that “learning through physi cal punishment creates fear and is neither permanent nor construc tive.” ment has come from persons entering the labor force as new jobs were created, and it has net appreciably reduced unem ployment which still hovers about 5 per cent. The unem ployment situation is improving some, though. * * * THE JOB PROBLEM is most acute among our young people— persons in their teens who are a part of the labor force and a source of support for their fam ilies. In April, more than a million teenagers were unemployed, comprising more than one-fourth of total unemployment. Put an other way, one out of every six teenagers in the labor market was unemployed. This is due to a number of factors. But principal among these is a matter which should greatly concern all of us, espe cially our schools and govern mental and community leaders. Reflected in teenage unem ployment figures is the problem that untrained and inexperi enced workers have in securing and holding jobs in today's com plex business world. In these ranks of the jobless are the thousands of youths who dropped out of school, who were inade quately educated to meet the demands made upon them. Here is underscored the press ing need for a full and complete education. Its importance can not be over-emphasized to our young people, especially in a state like Georgia which is rapidly moving into an indus trial economy.
