Consumption Cut Os Wheat, Fats Requested
Voluntary
Ration Plan
Is Urged
Quota For County
Revealed Tuesday
At Meeting Os
Civic Leaders.
Newton Countians were asked
this week to start saving at least
40 percent of food products made
of wheat and 20 percent of pro
ducts made of food fats and oils
to help feed the starving people
of Europe and Asia.
Newton County’s quota for the
next 120 days, the period of
greatest need, is 520,000 pounds
of wheat and 59,000 pounds of
fats and oiles.
The drive was launched in a
meeting Tuesday morning at the
courthouse called by Henry
Odum, manager of the Newton
County Emergency Food Pro
gram. Speakers at the meeting
were Everett Briscoe, AAA re
presentative for the county; J. W.
Scoggins, county agent, and Miss
Eddye Ross, home demonstration
agent.
The self-imposed rationing is
asked in order that UNRRA can
meet the food demands of hungry
people the world over. The esti
mate of wheat required from the
United States has been revised
upwards several times during the
last several months due to an un
precedented drought in wheat
producing countries of Europe.
Mr. Briscoe outlined the pro
gram why the needs were great

Dendy Makes Final Appeal
In Annual Red Cross Drive
Contributions Still Necessary To Meet Quota
For Newton County With 3 Days Remaining
Newton Countians raised their reputations as gen
erous citizens slighfly last week in the current Red Cross
drive, but funds were still lacking to keep the county high
in the roster of generous givers, the Reverend M. B. Den-
dy, local chairman, announced
late Wednesday.
“There are only three more
days left to raise the necessary
amount to put us over our
mark,” Mr. Dendy pointed out.
“We can’t afford to let this life
saving, comfort giving organi
zation down at the last minute,
so I am encouraging those who
have not contributed to do so
now, and those whose conscience
hurts over small amounts given
can alleviate that feeling with a
large check.”
Payments may be made in the
drive, which ends Saturday, di
rectly to Grady Smith, treasurer,
in the Turner Building.
The Red Cross is emphasizing,

service, help to returning serv-

MRS. MIRIAM JONES ORR TO RECEIVE
DECORATIONS AWARDED HUSBAND
Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross,
Air Medal, Gold Star Awarded Posthumously
For his heroism and conspi
cuous gallantry as a Navy fightei
pilot, Lieutenant Mark Lafon
Orr, USNR, of Tyler Texas, and
husband of Mrs. Miriam Jones
of Newborn, has been posthum
ously awarded four of his coun
ty’s highest decorations, the Navy
has announced.
Mrs. Orr, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs- Guy Jones, will go to At
lanta in the very near future to
receive the awards, which are
the Silver Star Medal, the Dist
inguished Flying Cross, the Air
Medal and the Gold Star in lieu
of a second Air Medal.
Lieut Orr was first reported
missing in action on April 13,
1945, but has since been report
ed by the Navy Department as
dead.
Lieut. Orr, a graduate of Texas
Tech, entered the Navy in April,
1941, and was for some time
stationed at the Naval Air Sta
tion in Atlanta as an instructor.
It was there hat he met Mrs.
Orr. They were married on May
17. 1944.
The citation for the Silver
Star Medal, signed by the Secre
tary of the Navy for the Presi
dent reads in part: “For con
spicous gallantry and intrepidity
while serving as pilot of a night
fighter plane in Fighter Squadron
Ten, attached to the USS Intrepid
in action against enemy Japanese
forces in the vicinity of the
Ryukyu Islands, on April 11,

Commissioner Reveals Plan
For Increase In Personnel
Proposed Expansion Os Facilities Would
Give County Health Unit Second To None
Newton County stands ready to cooperate 100 per
cent with the state health department in the establish
ment of a county health unit second to none, Isaac Rob
ertson, county commissioner, announced late Wednesday.
“We have already contracted —
with the Georgia Health Depart
ment for the addition of one
state approved nurse as soon as
one is available,” Mr. Robertson I »
said. “This contract was made ; R
three weeks ago and as soon as ■
other personnel are available, we
intend to work with the state,
financially and otherwise, to ob
tain them for Newton county.”
At the present time the coun
ty’s health department facilities
are only about ten per cent of
that required for approval under I
the United States Public Health
Department.
The county now has in its i
employ one nurse and one clerk I
to combat in advance the var-1
ious diseases that can be pre
vented or controlled through 1
adequate education, preventive
and control measures.
According to USPH standards,
the county needs a medical di
rector, approved by the state, a
sanitary engineer and a nurse i
for each 5,000 of the population.:
The county has a pre-natal
: clinic, which is only half the I
size needed, according to Miss
| Sara Gordon, county nurse.
“The venereal disease clinic
I is also too small and the tuber-
I culosis program is woefully lack-
I ing in methods of combatting
this dread.disease,” Miss Gordon ;
stated.
Federal standards call for
larger venereal disease, pre
natal and tuberculosis clinics,
and the addition of a dental
clinic, a typhus control program,
an adequate school program,
milk inspection, and a water
supply and sewage inspection.
“The county has been lucky
in the small number of typhoid
cases recorded,” Miss Gordon
said. "With no water supply or
milk inspection, typhoid could
run riot if ever started.”
Agitation has been underway
for some time by the Newton
County Tuberculosis Association
for a means of isolating com
municable cases of tuberculosis.
The association now pays the
salary of a Negro nurse who as
sists in the present methods of
control of the disease.
According to the Tuberculosis
Association, trailers would be
the cheapest method of provid
ing portable isolation wards that
could be moved from home to
home where cases of tuberculosis
too far advanced for admission
into Alto exist. As soon as the
need for the trailer is over at
one home, it could be moved to
another. According to the
county nurse, two trailers, one
for white people and the other
