r If precautions are not taken,
• condemnations could rise even
■ higher this winter than the
large loss suffered last winter,
Mr. Maness said. The state’s
broiler producers lost about
four per cent of the birds they
produced last winter through
condemnations.
Mr. Maness said that al
though many things are in
volved in keeping broilers
healthy during cold weather,
the producer should think in
terms of five main steps to
protect his flock against cold
weather stress. The five steps
are heating, ventilation, vacci
nation, sanitation and isolation.
Mr. Maness made the following
suggestions on carrying out the
five steps:
Brooder temperature should
be at 95 degrees the first day,
and dropped five degrees a
week until chicks are about
six weeks old. Room tempera
ture should be kept at 65 de
grees. One coal or wood sup
plementary heater should be
used for every two brooders,
and the roof insulated with
some economical material.
A poultry house should not
be completely closed. Fresh air
should enter just under the
building plate so that it will
be warm before reaching floor
level. Drafts and heat loss
should be prevented by closing
cracks. Side walls can be
covered with felt and window
covered with polyethylene plas-

THANKSGIVING, 1960 —Explorer
Scout Jimmy Dew, left, of Post 60 gives
Troop 47’s former Scoutmaster Ben T.
Huiet, Georgia Commissioner of Labor, sev
eral ears of genuine Indian com in token
of observance of Thanksgiving, 1960. Look
ing on is Harold Power, center, Georgia
State Employment Service Farm Placement
Supervisor. Commissioner Huiet said:
“Georgians really have much to be thankful
for this year. Our sheaths of blessings in
clude prospect of the biggest com crop ever
in the State; other crops are bountiful. State
Department of Labor records show non-farm
employment has been consistently higher so
far this year than for any other like period
tic or some similar material.
Houses should have raised ridge
ventilators that can be closed
against the wind.
Carry out a well planned
vaccination program, like those
recommended by the Extension
Service and the Georgia Poul
try Disease Research Center.
Booster feeds should be used to
reduce stress during vaccina
tion reaction periods. The poul
tryman should know the vac
cination history of parent I
flocks.
Sanitation measures should I
include removing litter after
each brood, washing down
walls with a power sprayer
and disinfecting. Wate re r s
should be cleaned and disin
fected daily.
To prevent spreading dis
eases, separate houses into pens
of 1,000 to 2,000 birds. Wear
different shoes or disinfect
shoes when traveling be
tween poultry houses. Demand
that everyone, particularly
persons who visit other poul
try farms, clean and disinfect
footwear before entering the
poultry house at any time.
Weekly Newspaper
At Crucial Point,
Hughes Says
The weekly newspaper in
dustry in Georgia and through
out the country now stands at
a crucial point in its develop
ment.
John W. Hughes, secretary
and business manager of the
Calhoun (Ga.) newspapers, ex
presses the belief in the cur
rent issue of the Emory Uni
versity Quarterly.
“Traditionally there has been
at least one independent week
ly newspaper to serve the peo
ple of each county. Emigration
from some of the rural counties
has now reached a stage where
publication of a newspaper ex
clusively for that particular
political subdivision cannot be
justified economically.”
In most of these counties
there is enough buying power
to justify the publication if ca
pital investment can be re
duced by producing the news
paper in an independent or
jointly-owned plant, Mr. Hugh
es said. He proposed a central,
jointly-owned printing plant as
a possible solution.
Most weekly publishers are
by talent and inclination edi
tors rather than businessmen
or production specialist, he
added. Time and effort saved
from business operation could
result in a better editorial pro
duct.
The writer for the weekly
has a wide latitude in news
selection and style of presen
tation that would excite the
envy of most daily reporters,
Mr. Hughes said.
"Someone forgot to tell the
weekly writer that the mass
mind stopped developing at the
13-year-old level and that it
has a working comprehension
of only a few hundred words.
He need not throw away the
potential of the language for
precise and colorful descrip
tion. If he knows the word that
fits, he uses it.”
For all its apparent same
i ness, Mr. Hughes believe the
THE COVINGTON NEWS
in history. Georgia farmers and business
men by October’s end had filled over 230,000
jobs this year through the 35 offices of the
Georgia State Employment Service. The
insured unemployed are able to buy necessi
ties with job insurance. We are all grateful
for our abundance of things. But our great
est reason for real gratitude to God is in our
human resources, particularly our young
people who are the future of our great state
and nation and the whole free world. Work
ers in Boy Scout and other youth programs
are making a priceless contribution far our
freedom. This dedicated service deserves
©ur most grateful prayers of Thanksgiving.”

Southern Pine paneling can be
changed to blue, beige, gray
and many other hues simply
by tinting the desired color in

finishes are transparent so that
