Russell MACON — Senator Richard B. Russell said Monday conserva tion of our soil and water re sources is as essential to the na tion’s strength as are the arma ments that protect our security. The senior Senator, long a foremost Congressional champion of conservation and author of the Agriculture Conservation Pro gram (ACP), said the safeguard ing of our soil and water re sources is the concern of every one regardless of who they are and where they live. Speaking at the Annual Con vention of the Georgia Associa tion of Soil and Water Conserva tion Districts in Macon, Russell said: “In former times, there were many among us who looked upon conversation as essentially a rur al problem of no particular con cern to city dwellers. No idea could be more wrong or danger ous. Conservation is the concern of everyone who eats food, drinks water, and rears a family — in short, it is the concern of all mankind.” “We must constantly be on guard against the forces of man and nature that would denude and destroy our heritage of land, forests and water,” he continued. “For these national assets are as essential to America and to her future as are the awesome weap ons we possess to stay the hand of Communist tyranny.” Russell told of the efforts that have been made through the years in Congress to make sure the country’s conservation pro gram was adequately funded. He said that he had sometimes been called a “zealot on the subject of conservation” because of his en thusiasm for the program. “I am also a dreamer — and my dream is of a Georgia whose land is as lush and green as the day the first plough stirred its soil ... a Georgia whose rivers and streams run as clear as when only the Cherokee and Creek know them . . . and of a Georgia whose water is as pure as a mountain brook . . . and as sweet as the water bubbling from Radium Springs.” We Do All Kinds of Job Printing. MEMBER F. D. I. C. Will a Fire Mar Your Joy At Christmas? Again this Christmas, as at every Christmastime in the past fires will mar the joy of the holiday for many families. That prediction was made this week by a Cooperative Exten sion Service forester who added that many of the fires need not happen. George D. Walker of the Uni versity of Georgia said the Christ mas tree is responsible for many of the accidental blazes. “This is one item with which everyone should be particularly careful,” he declared. Mr. Walker explained that a tree left in a heated home for two weeks can dry out so much that a mere spark will ignite it. He added that “just a little fore thought” and a few simple prac tices carried out by the home owner can prevent most Christ mas tree fires. Select a fresh tree — that is Mr. Walker’s first recommenda tion. If the tree is not mounted and brought into the huose im mediately, it should be stored outdoors in a cool, shady place— with the base of the tree kept in water. Before bringing the tree in side, Mr. Walker continued, the end of the trunk should be cut off diagonally at least an inch above the original cut. “This fresh cut should be submerged in water as long as the tree remains in the house,” he advised. Mounts with containers for water can be purchased at most general mer chandise and department stores. The water level should be check ed daily and water added when needed. Christmas trees kept in this manner, according to the Exten sion forester, will remain fresh, will not dry out and shed, and are much more fire resistant than those merely nailed to a stand. But even with these precau tions, he added, Christmas trees should not be placed near an open flame, passageway or exit. TB Strikes Four Daily In Georgia Every day of the year, some where in Georgia, four people hear these heart-breaking words, “You have tuberculosis.” This phrase was repeated some 1,413 times last year to the state’s newly diagnosed cases of TB ac cording to statistics from the new TB Case Register Summary Re port issued by the Georgia De partment of Public Health. The report also shows some 8140 cases now being carried on the Department’s TB case regis ter. These are cases which have not been inactive from the disease for at least three years. In Pierce county, there are 17 cases listed on the register. TB is still the state’s number one infectious disease killer. Everybody who ever had TB caught it from someone else. It is caused by a germ, the tubercle bacilli, and is spread from one person to another. No person, re gardless of age, race, or sex is immune to catching the TB germ. One out of every four people in this community and in every community in the United Stater now has TB germs in their body Most of these will never develop active tuberculosis, but at leas 1 five percent of them will. It if F rom this number that the disease s spread. The best method for findiir überculosis is through a tuber eulin skin test. A positive reactior : ndicates the presence of TB Terms. A chest x-ray will deter mine whether the body is keep ng the germs in check or i f they have begun to spread creat ng active disease. Contributions t o Christmas Seals, sent to homes in this coun ty by the TB association on No vember 16, are used to find new 'ases, help patients needing hos aital clothing and transportation school health programs, and medi ■al education and research. It is estimated that a $3.00 gift tc Christmas Seals will help to pro mote skin tests for 12 people, or •irovide school health aids for 17 children, or supply 500 leaflets promoting x-rays, or support one hour of a research fellow's work It is an investment in health of 'ess than one penny a day. HANDLING BEEF Buying a beef or killing one at home? Immediately after slaugh ter, place the beef under refri geration at temperatures of 30 to 40 degrees to remove animal heat, advises Dr. James A. Christian, Extension meat utili zation specialist. Then the beef should be aged at a temperature from 34 to 36 degrees for 10 to 14 days. This will improve tender ness and palatability. Lesson No. 3 In News Writing Our lesson No. 1 on news writ ing was concerned mainly with the mechanics of its preparation, such as getting your news item typewritten if possible, starting about two inches from the top of the paper, leaving a good mar gin at the left side of the page, double-spacing the lines, etc. Our second lesson told the im portance of giving dates and all facts, getting names correct, and sending or bringing the news in ON TIME. This, our third lesson in news writing, deals with some of the things we DON’T WANT in news stories. Don’t put THANKS in news stories. Anyone’s thanks is a per sonal message and not news. Thanks cards or messages are CHARGED FOR. Thanks and ex pressions of appreciation are PERSONAL messages and the paper makes a reasonable charge for your message of thanks or appreciation. Don’t put the names of com mercial firms in your news item. The paper’s STOCK IN TRADE is its space. The paper must make 85 percent of its income from selling SPACE. And if the paper gives away its space to commer cial firms, then it would have to go out of business, as only about 15 percent of income is derived from subscriptions. There are exceptions to the a bove rule, such as feature stories about business firms, or names of firms that support the paper with regular advertising. Thinking of You Every Week In the Year Your friends will be sure to think of you every week in the year if you send them The Brant ley Enterprise as a Christmas gift. A subscription to the Enterprise is a LASTING GIFT. For 52 weeks, all the year, it tells your friend of your friendship and re gard. It’s a gold way to make your gift last and LAST — throughout the year, not just one time and out. Your home newspaper will say “Howdy” for you over and over again, 52 times. And the price in side the county is only $2.58, in cluding tax, $3.09 including tax outside the county. A year-around gift that can’t be beat. OPTOMETRIST Dr. Charles H.
