Aecldental Dtath Tall
Exceeds Hiroshima Bomb
Four hundred thousand Ameri
cans have been killed by accidents
in the United States since the atom
ic age burst on the world at Hiro
shima four years ago—four times
as many deaths as the atom bombs
caused.
The two bombs dropped on Hiro
shima and Nagasaki, which brought
World War II to an end in one final
convulsion of agony, killed about
110,000 Japanese.
That comparison was made by
Ned H. Dearborn, president of the
National Safety Council.
The 400,000 Americans have been
killed, Dearborn said, “not by the
products of genius, but by the old
stupidities. Accidents—the banal,
needless, profitless, pre-war type
of accidents—have killed almost
four times as many people in post
war America as the atom bomb
killed in Japan."
Dearborn said the accidental
death toll in other countries of the
world cannot be estimated, but if
the world rate is anywhere near
the American, about six million hu
man beings have been killed in
the four years of the atomic area.
“I am not trying to gloss over
the menacing possibilities of atom
ic warfare,” he said. “The efforts
being expended to secure the world
against a holocaust deserve the
best of our understanding and sup
port. But the other disaster—the
disaster of accidents—is not a pos
sibility; it is a grim and bloody
fact. The millions<twho have died in
the world, the 400,000 who have
died in the United States, are no
less dead because they died singly
or in small groups, scattered in
both space and timej.”
How Seismograph Operates
A seismograph detects earth
quakes in this way. If you put a
coin on a sheet of paper on a table
and suddenly pull the paper away,
the coin will not move with it but
will drop to the table. The main
part of a seismograph is a massive
pendulum which similarly'" resists
movement, even though the ground
may move under it, according to
G.E. research scientists. This rel
ative motion between ground and
pendulum is magnified (in modern
instruments by electrical and opti
cal means) and recorded on photo
graphic paper. The seismograph
may be tuned so that it will re
spond to the relatively slow
waves in the earth, with periods
of several seconds, that come from
distant earthquakes, but not to the
larger and more rapid vibrations
from local traffic or nearby ex
plosion.
Heated Highways
Heated highways have been tried
successfully in several sections of
the country. In Oregon, a highway
underpass, which would be par
ticularly dangerous under icy con
ditions, was equipped with pipes
laid under the pavement through
which an anti-freeze solution
heated by hot springs in the vicin
ity was circulated. Near Detroit,
the Michigan highway department
installed electric heating units
each 18 inches wide, under the tire
tracks of a six lane highway for a
distance of 500 feet. Initial experi
ments showed the per hour cost of
the de-icing operation to be about
$1 per hour.

U.S. Treasury Department
Veterinarian Describes
Tension in Cattle Bloat
Modern “soapless” washing
powders make mountains of suds
for the same reason that pastures
sometimes give a cow a mammoth
stomach-ache.
It’s largely a matter of “surface
tension,” the American Veterinary
Medical association was told at its
national convention in Detroit by
Dr. A. H. Quin, a veterinarian of
Kansas City, Mo.
Dr. Quin explained it this way:
“If you toss some of the new
detergent washing powders into
water and agitate it, a great mass
of foam develops because the pow
der decreases the surface tension
of the water and the air is then en
trapped by films of the detergent.
“A like reaction occurs when a
cow eats heavily on high-moisture
legumes and grasses containing
saponins. Surface tension of the
stomach contents is reduced, and
muscular agitation of the stomach
walls then creates a foam of car
bon dioxide, methane, hydrogen
sulfide and other gases.”
Soap suds are fine, but a case of
bovine bloat can be serious. So,
Dr. Quin said, veterinary medical
scientists have developed new
chemical agent* to increase sur
face tension, and these agents are
being used effectively in treat
ment of bloat.
“One of the most efficient types
of these new chemicals is called
methyl silicone,” Dr. Quin said.
“Tablets and liquid suspensions of
methyl silicones were supplied to
veterinarians. Reports on treat
ment of 175 cases of cattle bloat
show 133 successful recoveries—a
quite outstanding record."
Over 2000 Frog Species
Are Scattered Over World
“Disinflation” has hit the frog.
The London zoo, in its annual in
ventory, now rates the specimens
in its frog and toad collection at
three pence each (five cents), com
pared with the sixpence of last
year’s tally.
At either three or six, the low
price indicates how common the
common frog is, the National Geo
graphic society observes. The en
terprising small boy can assemble
this amateur zoo of neighborhood
types almost as easily as the big
gest collectors.
There are about 2,000 different
species of the frog and toad family
known as tailless amphibians—that
is, adapted to both water and land.
They are scattered over the tropi
cal and temperate world except in
spots where it is too dry.
Of the dozens of frog species in
the United States, the spotted
leopard-frog, so widely used in
biology classes, is the most com
mon east of the Rockies. The deep
voiced bullfrog, the piping spring
peeper, the brilliant green frog,
and the colorful wood-frog are
among other pop-eyed denizens of
American streams and marshes
whose curious change from the
streamlined swimming tadpole into
the hopping, singing frog is one of
nature’s most fascinating pro
cesses^
Fathered Jury System
William the Conqueror fathered
the present-day jury system by
summoning "twelve lawful men”
from each district of England to
act as fact finders in determining
taxes that each landowner should
pay. Two centuries later, says the
National Geographic society, trial
by jury; was adopted when the
sworn 12 became, not the witnesses
to fact, but the judges of evidence.

4-Layer with Boiled Icing
IS THE FINEST CAKE YOU EVER TASTED!
NEARLY MILLION
SPENT THIS YEAR
FOR REHABILITATION
Asa climax to “Hire The Physic
ally Handicapped Week”, Governor
Herman Talmadge last week urged
Georgia employers to give jobs to
physically handicapped persons
whenever possible. The Governor
said that these handicapped persons
make capable and steady employees
and deserve a chance to earn a de
cent living.
He said that his administration j
is doing as much as it possibly can j
to aid the handicapped and has in- j
creased State services during the j
present fiscal year over previous |
years. He cited the fact that Georgia j
will have a total of $950,000 to spend
for vocational rehabilitation this
year, as compared with SBOO,OOO last
year. This was made possible by
$75,000 extra set aside by Talmadge
for this work, which is matched by
an equal amount from the Federal
government.
The Governor called attention to
the State Schools set up to train
handicapped persons—the two at
Clarkesville and Americus, the
School for the Deaf at Cave Springs,
the Academy for the Blind at Ma
con, and the Factory for the Blind
at Bainbridge.
Records show that 3,075 disabled
Georgians were placed in jobs last
year after receiving some service,
such as physical restoration, train
ing and guidance. This was the
largest number rehabilitated during
any 12 months since the program
started 28 years ago, and only four
other states exceed Georgia’s rec
ord in this respect.
PICTURES FOR THE HOME
There is a definite relationship
between a picture and the wall
against which it is placed, according
to home improvement specialists.
In choosing any picture for the'
home, one should consider its size
and where it is to be placed, as well
as its color and general character.

Lavonia Defeats
Jefferson, 26-6
Here Friday Night
Lavonia scored in every period
to defeat Jefferson. 26 to 6, here
Friday night.
Max Dowis, who did some nice
gaining all night, went off tackle
for 10 yards in the first quarter for
Lavonia, but Jefferson came back
with a scoring drive with Joe Glos
son skirting end for the final 15
yards and touchdown. R. C. Price
climaxed a second-period Lavonia
march with a 20-yard end run for
touchdown to put the visitors ahead
for good.
Charles Brown scored in the third
quarter on a 10-yard run and tallied
in the fourth on a six-yarder. All of
the touchdown drives were featur
eded by some fine fullbacking on
the part of Leon Andrews, who
bulled his way to several first
downs.
Quarterback Billy Sailors com
pleted four of seven passes for Jef
ferson, but the visitors presented
too tight a defense for the locals.
Dick Copas, center, stood out in the
Jefferson line.
