FORMER EMPLOYEE GAINS
NATIONAL RADIO FAME
It’s a long jump from the position
of package boy in a Jitney-Jungle
store to that of a top-flight radic
star, but that jump has been made.
Yessir! The new “Dr. I. Q.’ star
of the famous radio show of the same
name, sponsored by Mars, Inc., candy
manufacturers, is none other than
Jimmy McClain, former package boy
at Jitney-Jungle No. 4 in Jackson.
If our information is correct Jimmy
left Jackson with his parents several
years ago, living for a short time
in New Orleans. From there the fami
ly moved to Dallas. Texas, where Jim
my began the study of law. But the
flare for dramatics soon pushed his
legal aspirations aside and he entered
the radio field. His success in this
field was assured from the very be
ginning and when the Mars people
started looking for the new “Dr. I. Q.’
they chose Jimmy.
The Jitney-Jungle organization is
always proud of the success attained
by those who have been or are now
associated with it.
SEMINOLE VERSUS CLIMAX
By Lewe Johnson, Jr.
Tonight the Seminole Indians of
Donalsonville, Georgia journey over
to the fair ci y of Climax for two
games. Fresh from two wins over
the Arlington Travelers, the Squaws
and Braves are looking forward to
this game as another victory
to be added to their string of winnings
Climax has been noted during the past
seasons for its teams which had
plenty of fight. This promises to be
a test for the Braves to prove them
eelves capaple for tough opponents
yet to be played.
Much spirit has been shown by the
teams so for and to keep the spirit
high there must be cooperation from
the followers of these teams.
The distance to Climax is short and
the Seminole teams of 1941-42 aren’t
in the habit of letting their followers
be disappointed.
Our first home game of this new
season will be played in the local
gymnasium on the approaching
Tuesday night of November 4. Semi
nole will be host for a return engage
ment to the Travelers of Arlington,
Georgia.
There is hope among the students
for improvements to be made with
in the gymnasium promptly.
DONALSONVILLE
FIRST-GRADERS
a X*. RIDE TRAIN
The three first-grade teachers of
the Seminole Elementary school were
sponsors recently of a very exciting
trip for their 85 pupils. John Harrell,
one of the Seminole school bus drivers
took the children and their teacher to
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad sta
tion in a bus. Here each child was al
lowed to purchase his ticket for a
journey to Iron City, five miles away.
The fare was 5 cents for each child.
As the puffing locomotive came in
to view, each little heart bgan to beat
very fast and as the children boarded
the private coach which was reserved
especially for them there came to
them the greatest thrill of their young
lives. Only a very few of them had
ever been on a train before. The only
rides that were known to them were
the make-believe ones which were
taken in school as they studied models
of travel in the airplane, automobile,
steamship, train, and others.
As the conductor came around each
tiny passenger presented a ticket.
There were enough seats for all, and
it seemed as though they had just set
tled down for a good time when the
seven minutes brought them to their
journey’s end and the conductor called |
out “Iron City.”
The people of that town didn’t
know what to think when 85 small
travelers jumped out. The bus driver
.was again on hand and took them
for a sight-seeing trip around the
town. They were glad to see the school j
in which other little first-grade child-i
ren went to school. As they came back I
to Donalsonville, the same bus took
them to see the sights of Donalson
ville. •
On the day before the trip, one
father appeared at the door of the
school and asked that he be allowed
to take his little freckle-face, red
head to the barber to have a haircut
for the occasion. Another little fellow
bought a new suit for the trip. All
85 were dressed up for the day.

ATTENTION TO FARM
IMPLEMENTS URGED
TO AVERT SHORTAGE
Because the national defense pro
gram is expected to make it increas-1
ingly difficult to obtain new machin
ery and repair parts, County Exten
sion Agent W. E. Brigham suggests
that Seminole county farmers keep ■
their implements in good running I
condition, store them under cover and'
I get repair parts that will be needed
next year, as soon as possiblbe.
Mr. Brigham says that even small
amounts of fertilizer left in fertilizer
compartments of corn planters, grain
drills or other planting machinery,
are likely to cause corrision and hard
en, clogging the distributing equip
ment at planting time next spring. j
He points out that now is a good .
j time to thoroughly clean and wash all i
I fertilizer out of planting equipment,
j and then cover the distributing me
chanism with plenty of oil so it will
be ready for use when rolled out of
storage in spring.
Farmers often leave tools, nails,
screws and bolts in seed boxes andl
1
fertilizer compartments. When these;
are overlooked in the spring planting
rush, machinery may be seriously i
damaged.
In the matter of repairs the Coqtv
ty Agent reminds local faring that if
they will check UP on their equipment
and file their orders with hardware
stores now, they will stand a better i
chance of obtaining them without de
lay. The priority board in Washington ; 1
desires that farmers haw necessary!:
equipment and in order for them to 11
be able to set up priorities on this <
equipment they should have some idea ' i
as to what is needed.
EXTRA PASTURE AIDS
CONTROL OF KIDNEY ;
WORMS IN HOG HERD 1
■ ■ <
Good hog prices this year make it 1
all the more important that Seminole ’ s
county farmers provide a special pig
pasture in which swine kidney worm
; eggs are killed by sunlight, heat, and
drying, says County Extension Agent
Bill Brigham.
This precaution, he says, gets the
fall pig crop off to a strong start and
helps reduce the estimated $2,500,000
annual loss to southern farmers from
: this costly internal parasite.
' “If sows about to farrow are plac
ledon a new pasture with a 5-foot
bare strip around the edge and a 30-
foot bare strip at one end for shelters,
feed hoppers, waterers, creep with
self-feeders for pigs, and feeding pen
for sow—the suckling pigs, most vul
nerable to attack, can escape serious
infection.
“Effectiveness of this arrangement
i results from the fact that kidney
I worm eggs, eliminated by the tho
i sands in urine of infested sows, must,
have shade, moisture, and reasonably
high temperatures to hatch worms
that develop to an infective state. Be- (
cause sows generally urinate close to j
where the pigs are feeding, most ofl
the eggs will be discharged out in the j
i open and killed by sunlight, heat, and •'
drying if feeders are located on the
bare areas,
“Otherwise, pigs running on pas
ture or in hog lot with sows become
infested by swallowing worms on con
taminated forage, when they root in
litter containing worms, or when they :
lie down where worms are present.
“When infective worms are swal-;
lowed or enter swine through the !
skin, they get into the blood and are I
carried to liver, lungs, and other or
gans. They often hollow out tunnels
in the kidney fat and are eliminated ;
in the urine byway of the bladder.”
In post-mortem examinations in-i
volving 53,000 hogs raised without re-,
gard to sanitation, 92 percent of the i
livers and all the kidneys were con-'
demned as unfit for food because of:
kidney worm infestations. Where the I
special pasture system was used, the !
' litters were more uniform in size, pigs, causes a waste of feed, paves the
i thriftier, and practically free from way for disease, and is largely re

UNCLE SAM’S SAIORS ON HORSERACE

MB JMHHB 180 bwll
No, the U. S. Navy doesn’t have
a cavalry unit, but many a sailor
straddled leather before giving up
his bucking broncho or plow horse
for the bounding main.
The sailors in whites above are
seamen in the U. S. Naval Reserve
on shore leave in Panama. No dis
tinction is made between sailors in
the Naval Reserve and those in the
regular Navy. Enlistment in the
U. S. Naval Reserve is for four
years, but all men enlisting in the
Naval Reserve will be released to
inactive duty as soon after the na-
tional emergency as their services
can be spared, regardless of the
length of time remaining in theii
enlistment. If the emergency ends
within a period of several months
those enrolled in the Naval Reserve
will not be required to complete
their 4 year term in active service.
Opportunities for advancement
to learn skilled trades, for travel
and adventure are identical
whether a man enlists in the reg
ular Navy or the Naval Reserve,
and his pay, food, clothing, medi
cal and dental care are the same.
