CLOTHING AND HEALTH
In thinking of the part which
clothing plays in the national de
fense program, the most important
contrifiution is that of heflth.
Clothing has a very important
bearing on the physical and mental
health of all families, more par
ticularly on farm families since
they ere exposed to all kinds of
tremes in weather during their
working days. Such things as poor
ly fitted shoes, stocking and under
garments may make or mar the
posture of an individual for life to
say nothing of forming his disposi
tion. Many lami les nmg in e
open country have so few graments
ind work such long hours, they do
not have opportunity for changing
clothes frequently. Nothihg con
tributes more to the well-being of
a person than clean cloths. In or
der to keep clean in warm weather.
enough garments to change sev
eral times a week is essential.
The clothing of very young
children has i very important place
in the defense program since to
day s children will be tomorrow s
citizens. If there is a limited
amount of money to be spent for
clothing, it is very necessary for
children to have their share since ;
adults are better able to cope with
extreme situations and to make
adjustments. prevalent
Standards of dress
among farm families have changed
with their increased social con
tacts. Trips to near-by cities in the
family car, consolidated schools
where children from town and
farm mingle, daily papers, wo
men's magazines, and moving pic
tures have made farm families
more style conscious. Shopping at j ;
the larger trading centers provides
a more varied choice of clothing
than at the village it cross-rqads much bet- J
store. This fact makes
ter for the rural people to select
the clothing necessary to good
health and thereby contribute to
better living in general.-— Leonora
Anderson, Extension Clothing Spe
cialist.

“A human body while yet grow

in the same manner that a grow

by impediments,” says Dr. Chas. M.

might not believe that light weight
clothes could exert any influence
on a child’s growth; but my kind

or short suspenders may produce
serious consequences,” Dr, Taylor
continues.
“Not only shoes, but hosiery re
quires consideration,” he adds.
“Even if shoes are amply large,
ingrowing nails and various other
foot distortions may occur if the
sock or stocking is too short.
“When a person stands the weight

causes the stocking to ‘fill up,’ and
this should be remembered in the
selection of proper sizes.

Newton Memories
By J. O. Martin
With the ending of the year 1940
I recall incidents in the lives of
three persons who I knew in con
nection with the Newton County
j Schools of yesteryear. All of them
j passed Prof. Lee away in 1940. They were
Herring, M.jor Edwin
Reynolds and Mr. Keller Melton.
Away back in 1897 Prof. W. C.
Wri ght, County School Commis
sioner , visited the Mansfield school,
of which M r. Thad Wilson was
principal. While there, he suggest
e( j three boys, Lee Herring, Few
Cavender and Emmett Duke, that
each one buy a book to read and
each shoul d read the books of the
0 ther two boys. The books he sug
geste d were: John Hrlifax, Gen
tleman Scottish Chiefs, and Thad
deus of Warsaw , Tbis was done ln
Prof Wright’s mind ran the
thought “If this is a good plan for
th ese boys, why not provide books
for a]1 q( the ehi jdren of Nawton
Coimty? » This thought !ed to the
or g an j Z ation of the Newton County
Traveling School Library under
the direction of Prof Wnght anc j
thp Newton County Board of Edu .
q£tjorl) of which Prof Harry Stone
was chairman.
This was the first traveling
school library of its kind ever or
ganized and it served a useful
purpose for nearly forty years.
During this time these books were
used by the members of almost ev
ery family in Newton County.
Emmett Duke became a success
ful business m£n; Few Cavender
and Lee Herring became teachers,
At the time of his death Prof. Her
ring was a member of the faculty
of Oglethorpe University, and in
his time had served as instructor
in a number of institutions of high
er learning and had rendered to
his state a valuable service.
Major Reynolds served as prin
c jp a l of the Mansfield school over
a j on g period of years. During the
1913-14 school term, he was visit
ed there by Miss Celeste Parrish,
State School Supervisor, who pro
nounced the Mansfield school the
most efficient school she had ever
visited. Miss Parrish was regard
ed es the best authority on class
room instruction of any woman of
her generation. Thus, her approval
of this school under the splendid
management of Major Reynolds
spread the fame of Newton Schools
far beyond her borders.
Keller Melton was a school boy j
at Palmer Institute when I was
County School Superintendent in
1911-1914. All of the schools pcf-
NEGROES SHOW PROGRESS
More than 27,000 Negro farrr
families in Georgia were assistc'
through some phase of the Agi
cultural Extension Service in 194'
reports P. H. Stone, Negro sts
agent. Over 10.000 method den
onstration meetings were held, an
attended by rbout 133.000 farm
ers and rural leaders. Some 2,00
result demonstrations were cor
ducted and attendance at these g;
thering exceeded 28,000. Assistancf
was rendered by Negro workers on
more than 40.000 Negro farms
Stone says marked progress
made in 1940 by Negro farmers:
that greater yields of corn, cotton

In coming to the close of the
year 1940, the Georgia Forestry
Association looks with pride on the
progress that has been made in the
conservation and development of
the state's forestr resources.
Particularly gratifying is the fact
that Georgia now has 16 County
Wide Fire Protection Units, which
have brought over 3 million acres
finder protection, boosting the to
tal protected acres in the state to
4,979,248. There are now 79 Fire
Observation Towers and 2352 miles
of telephone lines.
Georgia is also leading the na
tion in planting tree seedlings. This
has been made possible through
the expansion of the nursery pro
gram of the State Division of For
estry. The number of seedlings
produced during the year 1939-40
is 20.881,769 compared to 14 mil
lion last year.
A notable achievement of the
year has been the initiation of the
Cooperative Farm Forestry Pro
gram operating through the De
partment of Agriculture. The pri- j
mary purpose of this program is j
to provide technical assistance to j
individual farmers in developing
woodland management plans for
their farms.
In order to make the farm wood

servation Service a complete farm
plan covering his woodlands agricultural provided lands j
as well as the
tor under this program.
The State Division of Forestry
is also now managing three state
owned areas in a plan designed to
serve as demonstration of proper
forestry practices, the results of
which will be made available to
Georgia land owners.

gia citizens actively interested in

j ticipated in the annual oratorical
contests under my supervision at
the old Emory College Chapel at
Oxford. On one of these occasions
Keller represented the Oxford dis
trict. So keen was the disappoint
j { ment of Prof. Buford Battle, prin
ciprl of Palmer Institute, at
Keller’s not winning a prize that
he had a personal interview with
Gov. John M. Slaton, who was
chairman of the committee of judg
es. He was told that Keller’s voice
was somewhat inarticulate and he
could not be heard distinctly,
Ptot. Battle remained at Palme
Institute the following yetr an
requested of to allow Keller t
enter the contest again. It w;
against the rules of the Count,
Board of Education for a contest
ant to enter for a second trial bu>
the request was granted in this in
stance.
After a year's training in speech
the defect was corrected- Kellei
was again selected to represent th>
Oxford District in its annual con
test and was awarded first priz
over all of his rivals. After grad
uating from Emory at Oxford
where his father, Dr. W. F. Mel
ton, was a prominent member o)
the faculty, Keller chose a busi
ness career and succeeded admir
ably in it. At the time of his un
timely death by tragic accident ;
few weeks ago he held a position
of high rank in government work
and was a national figure in his
field of service.

NEW TOBACCO ALLOTMENT*
Operators of farms on Which
or flue-cured tobacco acre
age allotments are not established
under the 1941 AAA program are
urged by T. R. Breedlove, acting
administrative officer of the AAA
in Georgia, to apply immediately
for a tobacco allotment. Applica
tions for allotments must be signed
prior to February 1, in order to
make allotments available to farm
operators in sufficient time to plant
tobacco. Applications can be filed ,
in the county AAA office. Breed
love says only a small reserve j*
available for new tobacco allot
ments.
