cently received a big assist
from the U. S. Pupblic Health
Service in the form of a grant
of $36,800.
Receipt of the grant was an
nounced this week by Dr. E.
Broadus Browne, director of the
College station. Equal amounts
of the fund will be used this
year and next to support re
search aimed at reducing poul
try losses from bruising which
currently cost Georgia Popltry
producers from two to three
million dollars a year.
All bruised tissue in dressed
birds is rejected by federal in
spectors at processing plants
and must be cut out before the
poultry meat is marketed.
Since such bruised tissue in a
total loss to poultry producers,
any reduction in the bruising
of poultry is just that much
economic gain for Georga poul
trymen. Research scientists in
the University of Georgia Col
lege of Agriculture are opti
mistic about the possibilities of
greatly reducing the amount
and extent of bruises sustain
ed by Georgia broilers.
Several research projects re
lated to the bruising problem
have been or are being con
ducted at the University. The
project being supported by the
Public Health Service deals
with the microbiology, patho
logy, and bio - chemistry of
bruised tissue. Dr. M. K. Ham
dy, a member of the Depart
ment of Food Technology, who
heads this project, says the
national health service is in
terested because bruised poul
try tissue may be a source of

contamination for other birds
during dressing as well as for
processing plant workers and
consumers.
Although much remains to
be learned about the nature of
bruising, Dr. Hamdy, who con
ducted considerable research on
bruising of larger animals at
Ohio State University before
coming to Georgia, says num
ber of facts helpful to further
Study have been established
experimentally. For example,
it is known that when a bruise
occurs, natural bodily func
tions act to heal the damaged
tissue in such away that the
second and third bruises in a
series heal at a more rapid rate
than the first.
This speedup in healing is
believed to be due to the ac
tion of enzymes. In fact. Dr.
Hamdy and other scientists
have obtained encouraging re
sults in accelerating healing by
injecting the enzyme. Trypsin,
into bruised animal tissue.
By pursuing such techniques
and investigating biochemical
changes appearing in these bru
ises, Dr. Hamdy and his col
leagues — Drs. J. J. Powers,
Kenneth N. May and Samuel C.
Smittle — at the University of
Georgia hope to find a practi
cal method of reducing t h e
losses from bruising of poultry.
Any marked degree of suc
cess in this would be invalua
ble to Georgia poultrymen. Too,

Magnolia Springs
t
One of the outstanding ;
springs in Georgia — Magnolia (
Springs— near Millen, Geor- ]
gia, has become a favored va
cation spot, especially for the :
camp-out crowd.
For at Magnolia Springs Park
are ideal facilities for trailer
or tent camping and one of 1
the most delightful swimming
holes in Georgia. The park
boasts a new pool with a depth
of up to 30 feet in which plant
and marine life are clearly vis
ible. There are also lakes for
boating and fishing.
The park is part of the gent
ly rolling sand soil of the
Coastal Plain comprising some ‘
1100 acres. The spring flows
about nine-million gallons of
crystal clear water each day.
This water, because of its great
depth, is almost as cold as ice!
But refreshing—after the ini
tial dip.
Facilities are excellent for
swimmers—including a beach,
bathhouse, concession stand and
casino. The park has a picnic
shelter, and the lakes are 40
and 50 acres respectively, won
derful for fishing.
And the park has history
furthermore.
During the Civil War. Mag
nolia Springs was the site of
Fort Lauton, built to relieve
the pressure on Andersonville
Prison. This prison later burn
ed, but at one time it was the !
largest camp for receiving i
prisoners of war in the entire j
Confederacy.
To enjoy its facilities today,
it is difficult to imagine its
ever being a prison.
This park Is located on Geor- I
gia 21 and U.S. 25 about half
way between Waynesboro and

Pine Tree Bright Star Os
South's Future-Sen. Talmadge
The pine tree is “the star to
which the South should hitch
its economic future,” U.S. Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge told the
Mississippi Forestry Assn, at
its annual meeting, Just held
in Jackson, Miss.
“Os all the great natural ad
vantages which the South en
joys perhaps the most valuable
is its ability to grow pine trees
faster and cheaper than any
other region,” the former Gov
ernor said.
“That fact, coupled with the
growing importance of the
woodpulp and paper industries,
holds forth the promise of fu
ture wealth and prosperity for
our section limited only by our
ability to produce the r* eded
trees and the imagination of
scientists in discovering new
uses for them. It is a promise
which should prompt South
erners to put every idle and
unproductive acre of land to
work growing pines.”
Sen. Talmadge, who was in
troduced by Mississippi’s U.S.
Sen. John Stennis, noted that
since World War II pulp plant
capacity in the South has tripl
ed and that, as of 1958, the re
gion was producing 60 per cent
of the nation’s woodpulp and
more than 40 per cent of its
paper and paperboard.
He said even the 1959 forest
output value figure of $6.3-
billion was an understatement
because it did not take into
account the subsidiary synthe
tic textile, furniture, chemical,
printing and other industries
directly dependent upon for
estry.
“The future of the pine tree,”
Talmadge continued, “takes on
even greater economic signi
ficance when we recognize the
degree to which developments
are taking place in the South
with respect to current and fu
ture use of woodpulp for the
manufacturing of ma ter i a Is
other than paper and paper
board.
“Today, about a million tons
of woodpulp are used in pro
ducing such things as rayon,
cellophane, fertilizer, smokeless
power, paint and varnish re
movers, methyl alcohol, acetic
acid and a number of other
items important to modern so
: ciety. Recent developments in
plasticizing and in the use of
polymers as well as bright pre
dictions for utilizing lignin all
have greatly expanded the
economic potential for in
creased use of woodpulp.
“I believe it well founded to
assume that the fabulous de
velopments that have and are
taking place in the production
of wealth from our Southern
pines are to continue.
What Is There
To Be Thankful For?
Comes again THANKSGIVING -a Holiday for most folia
and a festive occasion with the traditional turkey, cran
berry sauce, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings - but is
that all it means? Just an excuse to stuff ourselves and
make merry with the cup that cheers?
Why THANKSGIVING? What have we to be thankful
for? Listen my friend.
Be thankful that you are an AMERICAN the most favored
and envied individual in all the world.
Sure it costs something to be an AMERICAN and some
times that cost is measured in "blood and sweat and
tears”. Sure prices are high and taxes are high • and
sometimes it looks like public officials have been pretty
"high" at times too, to get us into the global muddle we
are in today.
BUT - when you sit down to that bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner, pause for a moment and add up ALL THE BLESS
INGS that are yours because you were lucky enough to be
born or to become an AMERICAN. You will find the
balance all in your favor, for nowhere else in this wide
world will you find so much FOOD, FASHION, FUN and
FREEDOM.
Consider the taxes you pay as your dues for membership
in the greatest club on earth and always remember that
for every one that wants out, there are a million that want
in.
That’s why THANKSGIVING. That’s what there is to be
thankful for so let us all be eternally grateful for the
privileges that are ours and ever watchful lest we lose for
ever that freedom we know and love.
Now - may we wish you a Happy Holiday and thank you
for having helped to make it possible for us to celebrate
our 13th THANKSGIVING.
