feed grain program may no
longer be pastured.
William L. Lanier, State Ex

Acreage to be diverted under
the programs is so designated

compliance. In Georgia, this
eheek should be substantially
completed by July 15.
Under the wheat and feed
grain programs, farmers are

TOUR OF THE WEEK
ATLANTA’S MUSEUM HOUSE
When Redman Thornton built his home in Union Point in the early
178O’», he eould never dream that one day it would be moved to Atlanta
or that, amidat the hustle and bustle of 20th century life, it would bo
a pleasant reminder of a by-gone era.
Thornton, a Virginian, received a land grant for service during the
Revolutionary War and built a small frame house on his holdings in
Greene County. Georgia, near what is now Union Point. He returned
to Virginia periodically, married a Virginia girl and together they
reared three sons and a daughter. Thornton was a successful planter.
Hia grant amounted to 25,000 acres; he owned numerous alavM, five
carriages and possessed a fine library.
Thornton House was acquired by ths Atlanta Art Association in
1959, moved to its present site on the Association’s grounds oa Peach
tree Street, and has been carefully restored. In its architecture, furn
ishings and landscaping, the house suggests much of Thornton’s Vir
ginia background. At the same time, it is an excellent exampie at
colonial architecture ia Georgia’s Piedmont region.
The double stoop and pavsd area in the rear and the double chim
neys on the south aids of the house are among its unique features.
Downstairs are a parlor, dining room and master bedroom. A wide
hall runa the width of the house. I pstairs are two largo bedrooms used
by the children.
Thornton Hoons was in an unusually good state of preservation
when bought by the Art Aasoeiation. It had never undergone ■gnifi
sent structural changes—heating and plumbing were never installed
and only the flrat floor had wiring. There waa mere restoration than
replacement involved and every ears has been taken to reoasomble the
structure ss nearly as it appeared in the 18th century.
The house faces the same direction of the compare. The English
boxwoods in front and the orchard and garden in the rear are laid ac
cording to Thornton’s original plan. Evon the brick walkways are
original. Much of Redman’s own furniture has been returned to the
house. Other furnishings, not belonging to him or his descendants, ars
of ths period in which he lived, with many pieces mads by early Georgia
artiaans. There are no reproductions in the house.
Dried or fresh flower arrangements are continually displayed, done
in true 18th century tradition. In fact, the flowers ars grown in ths
garden in back of the house.
Thornton House is open from 12 to 3 Monday through Friday and
on Sunday from 2 to 5. Admission is SI.OO for adults; 50e for children.
Volunteer hostesses from the Junior League and the Atlanta Art
Association are on duty to show you around and answer questions.
From ths first Monday in August until after Labor Day, the Art
Association and Thornton House are dosed.

thousand pounds, liveweight, of
turkey# of their own produc
tion per year, and who do not
buy or sell from or to others,
more than 5 thousand pounds
per year.
According to Mr. Hays, two
classes of producers will ba di
rectly affected. They are the
farmers, or producer-growers
—who operate turkey raising
facilities, and the contract
producers. The last-mentioned
are those who contract with
others, and who have a “pro
prietary interest” in the birds,
that is, they assume part or
all of the risk involved.
Farmers of the county who
have an interest in turkeys,
and who wish more informa
tion, are urged to come into
the ASC County Office, as soon
as possible to certify the quan
tities of turkeys they market
ed in 1961. Contract-producers
and cooperatives must file this
certification by June 8. The
County Office is located at
Court house, Covington, Geor
gia.

Know What to Expect in Childbirth
(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.)
Having a baby is just about
the most important thing that
happens to adult human beings.
The prospective parents make
lots of plans for their baby. If
they’re having their first baby
they "study up” on parenthood
and baby care. This is all to the
good because the more they
know about their baby before
he arrives, the more confident
and competent they will feel
about him.
Pregnancy in humans lasts
about 40 weeks or 280 days.
Sometimes it may last as long as
300 days and when it does there
is no cause for alarm.
The baby develops in t h e
womb, a hollow muscular or
gan. It enlarges as the baby
grows. The baby is held in the
womb by the constriction of the
lower part of the womb called
the cervix. As time for the
baby to be born approaches the
cervix becomes soft and thin.
Shortly before the expectant
mother begins labor she may
expel a small amount of mu
cous streaked with blood. This
is called “the show.” Labor us
ually occurs within 48 hours
after this. Labor is divided into
three stages. The first stage
begins with the onset of regu
lar contractions of the womb
and lasts until the cervix of the
womb becomes large enough for
the baby’s head to pass through
it. During this first stage the
muscles of the womb contract
and push the bag of waters
which surrounds the baby
against the cervix, gradually
forcing it open. If the bag of
waters ruptures before labor,
the pressure of the baby’s head
does this job. The bag of waters
usually ruptures toward the
end of the first stage of labor.
If this happens earlier, how
ever, the mother shouldn’t be
alarmed. Obstetricians some
times rupture the bag to im
prove a difficult labor. How
ever, the woman should tell her
doctor if the bag ruptures be
fore labor begins.
During the second stage of
labor the baby is expelled into
the outside world. In the first
stage of labor the muscles of
the womb do all the work au
tomatically. But in the second
stage the mother helps with the
actual birth by using her ab
dominal muscels in rhythm with
the contractions of the womb.
Neer the end of the second

Success is a relative thing, someone said. But each of
us strives for it and plans his life and actions to achieve
it. We wish you success in this most complicated society, but
we would remind you not to achieve it at the sacrifice of

stage a physician often deadens
an area at the entrance of the
birth canal and makes an in
cision. This prevents tears and
unnecessary stretching of the
tissues. The procedure some
times saves as much as an hour
of labo.. After the baby is born
the incision is closed with
sutures which don’t have to be
removed later. They are ab
sorbed by the tissues.
The third stage of labor oc
curs from the birth of the baby
to the delivery of the placenta
or “afterbirth.” This usually oc
curs five to fifteen minutes af
ter the birth of the baby.
Women having their first
baby can expect to be in labor
about eighteen hours. Labor
usually lasts only about nine
hours for babies after the first.
Sometimes a “false” labor
will occur during the last weeks
of pregnancy. This generally
consists of painless contractions

time. The contractions are us
ually irregular in timing, in
tensity and duration. They us
ually stop spontaneously after
two or three hours. If the con
tractions do become painful,
drugs can be given to stop
them.
A woman in her first preg

when her contractions occur
regularly about every five min

subsequent pregnancies he
should be notified when they
occur every ten minutes and

Having a baby should be a

your labor and delivery with a
minimum of apprehension and
