A. The supply of cabbage
this spring has been about one
fifth below average. The pro
duction of early spring cabbage
was five percent below 1961
and 21 percent less than aver
age. However, the Georgia
Crop Reporting Service pre
dicts good yield prospects from
Louisiana, Georgia and South
Carolina. Look for increased
supplie of cabbage in May.
Q. Is cabbage a good source
of vitamins and minerals?
A. We eat more fresh cab
bage per person in America
each year than we do of any
other vegetable except Irish
potatoes. Cabbage is really a
national favorite. Cabbage is
a good source of vitamin C and
also contains small amounts of
thiamine, riboflavin and iron.
For example, from one-half
cup of raw or cooked cabbage
you get about one-third of the
vitamin C recommended for
the day.
Q. Are canned meat products
inspected by the USDA?
A. Any meat product—ravio
li, chili, stew, soups contain
ing meat and meat sauces—
marketed across state lines
comes under the watchful eyes
of Federal meat inspectors. The
product is checked for whole
someness and the label for
truthfulness of claims. The
following label features are
checked by Federal meat in
spectors: product names; state
ments about the origin, quality,
composition, quantity and nu
tritive value; warranty state
ment; color of label, and
advertising. For example, the
picture on the outside of the
container must faithfully re
present the contents of the can
or package.

Depressions
Produce Varied
Symptoms
(Editor's Note: This is one
in a series of articles about
your health which will ap
pear in The Covington News
as a public service feature.)
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
We all get depressed now and
then. Usually we can point to
some specific event that causes
our depression. It may be the
death of a loved one, a disap
pointment, anything that gives
one a feeling of helplessness or
sense of despair. We 1 learn to
take these things philosophic
ally, keeping in mind that we
will recover our sense of well
being eventually. That is, we
do this when the depression
doesn’t get the best of us.
Curiously, the thing that
seems to work best in pulling
people out of depression is of
ten the hardest to do. A per
son who is depressed should
■become interested in new ac
tivities and continue his o 1 d
interests. But his tendency is to
shrink from these activities be
cause he is depressed. In this
case he just must force himself
into doing things. When he gets
wrapped up in activities again
h i s depressions will have van
ished or lessened considerably.
Good hard work is a great de
pression healer.
Sometimes, of course, people
aren’t successful in pulling out
of a depression and must seek
help.
Melancholia or depression is
an old and respected medical
entity. People in the grips of
melancholia tend to complain
about physical ills as well as
about their environment or
what has triggered the depres
sion. They are “too tired to
visit;” they feel “too bad to go
to town,” or something hurts
them so much they can’t go
about their routine tasks.
When a person is depressed
whatever bodily complaints he
may have seem much worse
and, in fact, they do cause more
trouble. This is the same sort
of thing that happens when we
hit a thumb with a hammer on
a cold, rainy morning. The
blow is likely to hurt much
more on that sort of day than
on a warm, sunny morning.
When several depressing
events occur in rapid succes
sion — another coming before
a person has recovered from
the preceding one, or when a
blow is especially severe and
sometimes for no apparent rea
son, the person doesn’t get over
the depression in a normal per
iod of time.

Improvement
Plan Mapped
By GEA Leaders
A “Plan of Improvement for
Education” (PIE) was map
ped by members of the GEA
Board of Directors and Legis
lative Committee of the Asso
ciation for the public schools
and University System of
Georgia at a series of meet
ings held at Rock Eagle May
4 and 5.
The broad outline as ap
proved by Education forces,
in clu de s teachers salaries,
Maintenance and Operation,
1000 new teachers to take care
of increased enrollments and
for overcrowded classrooms,
textbooks, libraries, Education
al Television, audio - visual
materials, and the Teachers'
Retirement System for the
public schools and University
System of Georgia.
In conjunction with this pro
gram a unified agreement was
reached with the University
System of Georgia which will
include increased salaries for
all faculty members of the
University System, increased
funds for research in engineer
ing, education, agriculture,
Arts and sciences, scholarships,
expanded programs at the
graduate and under-graduate
levels, in addition to funds for
the University Medical Cen

Magazine Warns
Os Sensitivity
To Insect Bite
More people in the United
States die of insect bites than
of snake bites, and probably a
good many persons whose death
certificates report death from
heart attack or heat prostration
actually suffered a fatal reac
tion to insect venom, according
to Changing Times, the Klip
linger Magazine.
An article in the current is
sue of the magazine warns that
although the stings of the
Hymenoptera insect group—
honeybees, wasps, hornets and
yellow jackets—probably don’t
account for more than 20
deaths a year, they remain a
potent threat to life for per
sons who are sensitive to the
venom.
The magazine lists four class
ifications of symptoms: 1)
slight general reaction with
rash, an itching, a feeling of
anxiety and malaise; 2) gener
al reaction with any of the
less serious symptoms plus
swelling, constriction in the
chest, wheezing, abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, dizzi
ness; 3) severe general reac
tion with difficulty or
labored, breathing, difficulty
in sw all owi n g hoarseness,
thickened speech, confusion, a
feeling of doom; and 4) the
true shock reaction which may
produce any or all of the symp
toms mentioned plus blueness
of the skin, failing blood pres
sure, incontinence, collapse,
unconsciousness and—if help
does not arrive quickly—pos
sibly death within minutes.
“After the first abnormal re
action, it is a good bet that
each succeeding sting—and it
will only need a single sting at
a time —will produce a more
severe illness as the victim
gradually builds up sensitivity,”
“No one can predict the de
gree by which sensitivity will
be increased with each suc
cessive sting.” the article
points out. “The important
thing is that in almost every
case the first reaction warns
of more serious trouble ahead.
And that is the time to see a
doctor a/bout getting desensi
tized or, if that doesn’t seem
quite necessary, getting equip
ped to deal with an emergen
| cy.”

pressed person often complains
of an inward feeling of heavi
ness. He may say he has a
“heavy heart.” He may lose his
appetite, have trouble going to
'sleep or wake up at night and
be unable to go back to sleep.
Anti-depressant drugs are
! sometimes used to treat a per-
I son who is depressed. But they
j don’t cure the depression. Simi
: larly, drugs can be used to help
the patient sleep but they won’t
change the situation that caus
es the depression.
DOC MAG SAYS:
1. Vague, chronic, hard-to
. cure illnesses are often symp
j toms of depression or melan
। cholia.
2. Disappointments in life are
I the usual cause of depression.
We should remember that
such disappointments come to
all and that the best approach
:to them is to accept them as
' philosophically as possible, car-
Iry on with our old activities
and develop new interest. This
probably won’t be easy but it’s
the healthy thing to do.

“Plan of Improvement for Ed

KEY ROLE
The United Slates Forest
Service has forecast a key role
for the South in the nation’s
future construction economy.
The federal agency predicts
the region will eventually be
come the main source of this
country’s total lumber supply.
The forecast is based on pres
ent and potential growth. Cur
rent growth of Southern Pine
“sawtimber” (trees ready for
lumber manufacture) exceeds
removal by at least 30 percent,
or by an amazing 3 1/2 bil
lion board feet per year. Lum
ber provides the chief struc
tural ingredients for 83 per
cent of the nation’s homes.

Rural Housing
Loan Program
Benefits Economy
S. L. VanLandingham, State
Director, Farmers Home Ad
ministration, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, today said that
during the 12-year operation of
its rural housing loan program,
losses on principal have amount
ed to only two one-hundredths
of 1 percent for the Nation. The
statement was based on the
status of all loans obligated up
to last December 31.
In Georgia, $22,600,000 has
been advanced in rural housing
loans, S. L. VanLandingham
said, and principal and interest
payments totaled about $8,000,-
000. Os the $22.6 million in
Georgia loans, the agency has
not incurred any losses.
A fifth of all loans have been
repaid in full, FHA said. Pay
ments of principal and interest
on the 2500 loans outstanding,
total $4,000,000, or 107 percent
of the amount that has become
due.
“Loans under this program
are made only to those who
cannot obtain financing from
conventional sources. Therefore,
NOTICE!
All citizens owning dogs are advised to
have their dogs inoculated for rabies. A con
certed effort will be made to catch all dogs
that have not been inoculated this year. On
and after June 1,1962, those dogs caught
that have not been inoculated will be im
pounded for (3) three days and if not claimed
during that period will be destroyed.
We invite the cooperation of all our citi
zens in carrying out this program of protect

the entire rural economy.
