Children Must
Have Proof
Os Immunity
While most Georgians are still
laringthrough a long hot sum
mer, a significant number of
parents are already looking
forward to fall and the entry
of their children into school
for the first time.
Dr. Lilliam Warnick, who is
director of the State Health
Department's child health
unit says that children should
be receiving Georgia's seven
compulsory immunizations
now, if they expect to enter
school in September.
"The law is very specific,"
says Dr. Warnick, "It requires
a child to have a certificate
of Immunization covering
seven basic diseases—or the
child cannot be admitted to
Georgia schools for the first
time,"
The physician points out that
rubella was added to the re
quired list this year. The other
diseases spelled out by state
law are diphtheria, whooping
cough, tetanus, measles, po
lio and smallpox.
Private physicians and local
health departments cooperate
in imminizing youngsters,
according to Dr. Warnick.
" Kindergarten students and
first graders are involved. 11
she explains, "but out-of
state students entering the
higher grades must also have
proof of immunity."
She adds, "Time is running
out. If the child Isn't fully
protected, parents should
make arrangements at once
or face difficulty In putting
their children in school in
just a few weeks."
;>hed at construction site of Plant Bowen
Construction conies high in 1971.
We are spending $1 million
nearly every day.
Costs keep going up and up. Your budget proves
that, and so does ours. This year a record $363
million is being invested in construction alone. That
means we’re spending about $376 for each customer
we serve.
Every item we buy has rocketed in price. Since
1960, for example, copper wire has gone from 30
to 60 cents a pound; a utility pole, $29.13 to $39.85;
a turbosenerator. $lO million to sls million.
But despite inflation, construction can't wait. You
need power for the '7o’s so we must build now to
meet those needs. And wherever we build, environ
mental planning is part of the cost.
You want reliable electric service and environ
mental protection. We hold those wants in common.
The price for getting them is uncommonly high but
not as high as the cost of forgetting them.

Former Secretary of State
Dean Rusk, United States

THE NEW ROLE OF YOUTH

Youth Council Officers have
invited all Interested young
people of the state of Georgia

bers of the Georgia Youth
Council from throughout the
state and youth representatives
from various state agencies
and youth groups.
"We hope that as many of
Georgia's young people as pos
sible will attend this confer
ence. There is a steadily In
creasing part for youth to play
in government and young peo
ple must begin to search for
their place in Georgia decis
ion-making. We feel that this
conference will aid in that
search," Acting State Chair
man Mike Bentley stated.
The Georgia Youth Council
was organized in 1964 to serve
as a liaison between Georgia
young people and state govern
ment. Members are appointed
bythe Governor and confirmed

Disabled May Be
Eligible For Free
Business Licenses
Atlanta — As of July 1,
1971, the Georgia Department
of Veterans Service is the
issuing agency for Certificates
of Exemption from business
license fees to certain disabled
veterans. Heretofore this
function has been performed
by the State Revenue De
partment. The change was
brought about by an act of
the regular session of the
1971 General Assembly.
Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler said
that eligibility is restricted to
“any disabled veteran of the
Spanish-American War; World
War I; World War II; the
Korean War; any veteran of
peacetime service in the
United States Armed Forces
who has a physical disability
incurred during his period of
service, or any blind person.”
Wheeler summarized brief
ly some of the requirements
which must be met in order to
secure an exemption of busi
ness license fees:
“An applicant must be a
resident of Georgia and his in
come must be such that he is
not liable for the payment of
state income taxes.
“Any blind person must
furnish the issuing authority
with satisfactory proof of his
blindness.
“A war veteran must fur
nish satisfactory proof that he
has at least a 10 per cent dis
abling handicap.
“A veteran of peacetime
service must furnish proof
that he has a physical disabili
ty to the extent of 25 per cent
or more incurred in line of
duty.
“And a veteran’s service
must have been terminated
under conditions other than
dishonorable.”
Wheeler pointed out that
the law prohibits the issuance
of free licenses for the opera
tion of certain businesses.
These incline: the sale of
fireworks or intoxicating bev
erages; the operation of bil
liard or pool tables; to carry
on a business of a pawnbroker
or auctioneer, or to deal in
futures.
Initial application for a
Certificate of Eligibility must
be made through the Ordinary
of the county in which the
applicant resides.
Pamphlets on Free Business
Licenses are available at any
office of the Georgia Depart
ment of Veterans Service.

Thompson Predicts History Will
Cite JFK, LBJ, And Nixon
Congressman Fletcher
Thompson predicted today
that history will record the
actions of Presidents Ken
nedy, Johnson and Nixon
prevented the spread of com
munism in Southeast Asia.
Spealdng to the Southeast
ern Aviation Trades Associa
tion at Jekyll Island, Thomp
son said the current uproar
over the Vietnam Papers is
obscuring the basic questions
on Vietnam, primarily that
the three Presidents of the
1960's were acting to stop
the spread of communism
that could eventually en
gulf most of Asia and even
threaten Australia and New
Zealand.
"Had these Presidents not
acted as they did,"said
Thompson, "I believe that
Laos, Malayasia and Indo
nesia, which is the seventh
largest country in the world,
would now be under con -
munism. We would have
virtually surrendered the en
tire area and Australia and
New Zealand would be facing
the possibility of a com
munist take-over.

Dr. Henry
Appointed
Direc tor
Commissioner of Agricul
ture Tommy Irvin announc

Farmers Lung
In City
Offices
Breathing in organic dust
can set off a respiratory dis
order called 'farmer's lung."
The disease is not exclusive
ly rural by any means.
Spore-laden dust from moldy
hay can trigger the disorder.
So can the droppings of birds
such as pigeons. But more
and more caseshave been re
ported recently among office
workers. The disease is on
the increase.
Exhaustive investigations at
the University of Wisconsin
Medical Center have un
covered mold growing in
some warm, wet are condi
tions. The spores were spew
ed from the air ducts through
out entire office buildings.
The spores penetrate deep
into the lungs and inflame the
area where the exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide
occurs. Eventually, the body
becomes starved for oxygen.
The first symptoms resemble
pneumonia—-chills, fever,
cough, and especially, short
ness of breath. The much
more serious chronic pho.
can lead to a breathlessness
so severe that the person
cannot walk across the room.
Loss of weight is character
istic of both acute and
chronic phases.
Continued exposure to the
offending substance can lead
to progressive lung damage
and eventually lung failure.
Better ventilation can help
remove the substances; and
sometimes it is possible to
wet down moldy material.
Farmers who find it difficult
to avoid exposure to moldy
hay often take special
steroids to ward off the dis
ease.
At the University of Wis
consin, researchers have seen
a number of similar lung con
ditions which are expressions
of the same basic disease
mechanism. Maple bark
stripper's disease, pigeon
breeder's disease, bagassosi^
and mushroom worker's dis
ease are some of the exotic
names. But the Wisconsin
clinicians put them all to
gether under this single term:
hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Pneumonitis rr eans an in
flamation of the lungs.
