Church Popular
Going to church seems to be
enjoyed as much by teen-agers
। as watching television, listening
to the radio or singing. This was
indicated by the answers to
questionnaires submitted to 1,252
i junior and senior high school
j youths of Schenectady, and was
reported in "Recreation” for
January. The study was made
by the research department of
the public schools.
Other preferred activities were
| “dating,” driving a car, school
I athletics, roller skating, bicycle
■ riding, social dancing, reading,
school clubs and visiting friends.
Less popular pastimes in
cluded dramatics, hobbies, paint
ing, and horseback riding. Two
other activities, “meeting at a
sweet shop” and “jam sessions in
] taverns,” were also favored by
। senior high school youths, many
| of them girls.
The increase in interests of
senior high students over junior
j high was considered “not
] healthy” by the researchers.
About half the girls and a third
of the boys indicated preference
for “wandering through down
town stores.”
Youth centers and swimming
j pools were considered by those
j questioned as the facilities most
j needed, followed by play
grounds, gymnasiums and parks.
The neighborhood problems
committee found that with few
■ exceptions, “churches are not
meeting the recreational needs
of children.”
It would be most gratifying if
the indicated popularity of
church - going really squared
j with action, as you and I are
' usually distressed with the rela-
I tively small number of teen
agers we see at church. Maybe j

Early Ruling Seen by Supreme
Court on Segregation Cases
There are indications that the
United States Supreme Court is
near a decision on the momentous
issue of segregation in the pttelic
schools.
The Court has ended its un
precedented four-week mid-term
recess and all signs point to
an early ruling.
Segregation Suits Foremost
An analysis of litgation pending
before the High Tribunal shows
some 20-od cases are awaiting ad
judiPation. Os them, the five suits
attacking educational segregation
rank foremost both from the
standpoint of import and length
of time—two years—under con
sideration.
How will the Court rule?
What are the possibilities?
it's better in Schenectady.
Religious Work
According to a recent publish
ed statement by Dr. Holies L.
Caswell. Dean of Teachers Col
lege, Columbia University, “An
'unprecedented number of young
people are choosing a career in
religious work. Nearly twice as
many students are now enrolled
in theological schools as before
World War 11, and, at no time
since 1880, has there been such
an influx of younger people in
to religious work.”

Farmers Home
Administration
Loans Available
%
♦
Farmers in all parts of Geor
gia are turning to their local 1
Farmers Home Administration
county offices for credit that |
will help them take up better
farm practices and make adjust-'
ments from cash - cron farming
to diversified systems, R. L.
Vansant .the agency’s State Di
rector, said this week.
Farmers who have depended
almost wholly on cash crops in
recent years are the ones most
in need of farming adjustments,
he said. They find they can set
up a sound system of farming
by switching to diversified pro
duction on their farms. Many
are looking for credit necessary
to put in livestock enterprises
to go along with their crops and
are expecting to develop good
pasture for their livestock. This
type of adjustment usually takes
a few years for completion.
Many operators of cash-crop
farms sav thev are held back ।
from making the adjustments [
because of costs involved. If
these costs cannot be handled by I
other local private or coopera
tive credit, and if the proposed
farming systems are sound, the
Farmers Home Administration
has funds for production or ad- ]
justment loans.
In « addition, many farmers ■
needing loans for only a year
are finding the credit they need ]
at the Farmers Home Admin- j
i. tration county offices. Long ;
term loans for purchasing or de- |
Veloping family type farms are
available, either as direct or in
sured farm ownership loans.
A special program of loans to
stockmen hard hit by drought
conditions is also administered
by thd agency. These loans are ,
to help farmers remain in nor- |
mal production of cattle and
sheep.
No matter what typeof credit .
is sought, Farmers "Home Ad- j
ministration cannot apnrove ap
plications from farmers whose
credit needs can be handled by ;
private or cooperative lenders.
In eight months following
June 39, 1953, production or ad
justment Joans have been made
to 2702 farmers in Georgia. Van- j
sant said. During that period,
the agency has made 294 farm
ownership or improvement loans
and 36 special livestock loans to
Georgia farmers.
Edgar J. Phillips is Farmers
ing its ruling. If would leave to
Congress and State Legislatures
the responsibility of enacting
necessary machinery to effect the
ruling.
Governor Talmadge has decared
he will take what ever steps are
warrented to maintain separation
of the races even to the extreme
of abolishing the public school
system if no other recourse is
open. He is prepared to use the
-state police and militia to pre
serve order and to call the Stat.e
Legislature into immediate ses
sion if such be necessary.
“Regardless of what the Sup
reme Court may rule, ” he says,
“there will be no mixing of the
races in Georgia schools so long as
I am Governor.”

Fulton, DeKalb
Cobb Counties
In Polio Test
Three counties in Georgia have
I been designated as being eligible
to participate in the national pro
gram to test a newly-developed
] vaccine for polio.
This announcement comes from
Dr. T. F. Sellers, director of the
Georgia Department of Public
Health. The areas selected to
participate in the field trials
sponsored by the National Found
ation for Infantile Paralysis in
clude Fulton, DeKalb and Cobb
Counties.
These three counties were de
signated by the National F,ound
ation as trial sites for the vaccine
following consultation with rep
resentatives of the state health
office. Selection was determined
by the amount of polio during
the past five years in the six-to
nine year age group; size of the
population; local health resources
I for the conduct of the trial, and
social, economic ad geographical
! factors to achieve a cross-section
of the country as a whole.
The test vaccine was developed
by Jonas E. Salk of the University
of Pittsburgh, on grants from the
National Foudation. He has given
the vaccine to his own three sons
and is currently administering it
1 to thousands of other children
। and adults in the Pittsburgh area.
I The vaccine will not be distri
i buted to other test areas until the
] trial run by Dr. Salk is concluded.
Administration of the vaccine
■ in three Georgia counties de
pends upon a sufficient supply be
ing available so that that initial
doses may be given about April
1. Postponement beyond that date
would not permit completion of
the vaccinations prior to the clos
ing of schools.
Moreover,the period required
, for administering the vaccine
would extend beyond the time
। when an upswing in the seasonal
occurrence of polio might be
I expected. Present indications are
Home Administration Super
visor for Newton and Rockdale
Counties with offices in the
। courthouses at Covington and
i Conyers.

that the production of vaccine
will be sufficient to meet require
ments, Dr. Sellers said.
In the designated areas, only ]
children in the second grade
whose parents have signed re
quest slips will receive the vac
cine. The health records of pupils’
in the first and third grades of the
same school will be used for com
parison to evaluate the effective
ness of the vaccine in preventing
polio.
Approximately 15,500 children
in the three counties are eligible
to receive the vaccine, Dr. Sell
ers said. The first two doses are
given one week apart; the third
dose, a “booster” shot,, will fol-"
low the second by at least four ]
weeks.
The effectiveness of the vac
cine will be evaluated later by
comparing the polio incidence
among those receiving and those
who did not receive it. This study
wll be directed by Dr. Thomas
Francis, Jr., of the University of
Michigan School of Public Health.
The results will be available in
1955, Dr. Sellers said.

April 1 Deadline
To Buy Auto Tags
Without Penalty
Deadline for buying your 1954
vehicle license tag without
penalty is April 1, Revenue
Commissioner Charles D. Red
wine reminded Georgians thia
week.
"Better get your tags now, be
fore the last minute rush,” Mr.
Redwine stated. "If you are
caught without a tag after April
1, there will be a penalty and in
terest add^d to the cost.”
• In the last several weeks, Mr.
Redwine has reminded Georgians
constantly that March 15 is the
deadline for filing state income
taxes, and that a penalty and
interest must be levied if these
tax returns are late.
"We don’t like to impose pen
alties on anyone,” the Revenue
head stated, but the law compel!
us to do so. Please make all re
turns on time and help us avoid
these penalties.”
