next six weeks before the sis
-1 cal year of the Cancer Society
ends August 31st. What is
more important . . just a week
earlier will save thousands of
people. In Georgia 23 NEW
cancers are starting EVERY
Day . . this year already 4,682
NEW cases have developed.
■ Every week IN GEORGIA 84
‘ more DIE of Cancer . . . 5000
in the nation.
The few hours you give NOW
; will help bring success. Even if
. your efforts just raise the $23
of the amount needed, that will
be very important. This re
quest comes from Mr. Arch
Avary, State Chairman, 1962
Education - Funds Crusade
Chairman.
The News takes this oppor
tunity to SALUTE every work
er in the Fund raising cam
paign, which sent NEWTON
I COUNTY on the State map as
a county who cares. It was
stated at one of the meetings
that many, or most, of the
workers were those w’hose
homes had been invaded
: by Cancer. You never know
what it means until it has
; struck one of your loved ones.
I Watch carefully your health.
j Have a regular check-up for
1 cancer . . . and follow that up
with a CHECK to save the lives
of others. Cancer CAN be
cured, IF you catch it in time.
Have YOU had a check up.
Please do not delay!
Now, let’s talk about all
those tomatoes we had last year,
so many we could not give
them away . . . we gave to our
neighbors and friends many to
matoes last year and put up 30
pints of stewed tomatoes off of
just eight plants . . . besides
all those luscious tomato sand
wiches we enjoyed. My shad
ow put up 40 pounds of Cu
cumber pickles off of 6 plants.
This year she’s doing the same
. . . but tomatoes? Somehow
this dry weather has made the
plants grow and grow and not
many tomatoes. Why my eight
plants are about eight feet
high! And only enough toma
toes to occasionally have a
sandwich.
Since the picture of little
Janice Greer, sitting in my
shadow s garden with baskets
of cucumbers and tomatoes
off the vines, her 'phone stays
busy wanting to know just how
she planted them ... so I’ll tell
you. She takes a huge zinc tub,
that has about worn out, puts
nail holes all over it; fills it
with dairy compost, sinks it to
ground level. Then she plants
her tomatoes (and another for
cucumbers) around the tub.
About twice each week she sees
that the tub is filled with
water. It soaks into the com
post, and oozes out of the nail
holes and down deep, and to
ground level it keeps the plants
watered and fertilized at the
same time. That is the extent
of her gardening, but she pets
those vines like a baby, and
all but talks to them. Sure, a
frame goes over them and the
cucumbers climb all over it,
not decaying on the ground.
Big Boy Tomatoes are support
ed and grow and grow, and
bear and bear. Try it right
now for your Fall Tomatoes!
You can get plants yet.
We’ve just learned of the ill
ness of Mr. Linton Smith, who
is presently at Newton County
Hospital; Mr. Walter McGahee
is also there, and Mr. Hugh
King, who is at his home re

staff joins the Office Boy, and
their many friends, in sincere
good wishes for a speedy re
covery.
We have not had enough rain
now. But these last few days
have been disappointing to me,
I’m not afraid of nothing on
earth but snakes and lighten
ing and thunder ... it thun
dered too much to go thru it
without any rain these last few
days ... it sure helped me tho,
for when I get skeered REAL
good ... I can sure grab my
broom and do a good job of

BEFORE—NOT AFTER!
All freshly cut lumber is
literally saturated with mois
ture inherited from the living
tree.
Gradually, this moisture eva
porates. As it does, the wood
cells contract and the lumber
shrinks. This loss of size is in
evitable, regardless of species.
The important thing is for
the shrinkage to occur BE
FORE and NOT AFTER lum
ber is in service.
To protect users, Southern
Pine manufacturers properly
dry and “pre-shrink” lumber
before it’s surfaced to final
size.
The U. S. Forest Products
Laboratory — world’s foremost
authority on lumber —describes
the drying (seasoning) process
as “vitally important.”

by his spouse may turn to al

some new chapel at the State
Prison branch here was
formally dedicated at exercises
Sunday afternoon, July 22, with

'Studycade' S.W.
U. S. and Mexico
A chartered bus left the front
campus of West Georgia Col
lege Saturday morning (July
21) to take 38 persons on a
“studycade" to the Southwest
United States and Mexico.
To be directed by Collus O.
Johnson, the 12-state, 7,000-
mile educational journey is un
der sponsorship of the Adult
Education Department of West
Georgia College. It will be the
latest in a decade of study
cades that have taken people
of all ages to other parts of
this country and to other coun
tries; last summer a similar
studycade went to the North
west United States and Cana
da. This will be the second
studycade to Mexico sponsored
by the college, the previous one
having been in 1956.
During the three-weeks jour
ney, the studycade participants
will observe the historical, ed
ucational, industrial, and cul
tural points of interest along
the way. Mrs. Collus O. John
son will assist in the discussion
and educational aspects of the

Bill Proposes the
Re-Instatement
Os Gl Insurance
Legislation which would al
low millions of World War II
and Korean War veterans to
re-instate or buy GI insurance
stands an excellent chance of
passage in this session of Con
gress, Georgia Veterans Ser
vice Director Pete Wheeler re
ported this week.
The bill, which recently re
ceived administration endorse
ment in a major policy change,
would affect some two-thirds
of all the veterans in Georgia,
he said. Those who served in
the armed forces between Oc
tober 8, 1940, and January 1,
1957, would be allowed to re
instate their old policies or
take out new policies.
Those who held less than
SIO,OOO in NSLI coverage
would also be allowed to in
crease their insurance to that
amount.
Under the NSLI (Gl) re
opening plan, insurance rein
statement would be limited to
five-year term, ordinary life,
30-pay life, 20-pay life, 20-
year endowment and endow
ment at age 60.
The policies would be on a
non-participating basis which
pays no dividends. Rates, which
in many cases would be cheap
er than the old NSLI at the
same ages, would be based on
modern mortality tables. Vet
eran’s are reminded, however,
that they will likely pay more
premium for the same cover
age, despite the lower rates on
non - participating insurance,
because all have gotten older.
No by-age payment schedule
based on this legislation has yet
been made available, but an
example of a World War II vet
eran has been reported. The
cost to such a veteran at age
40 would be $36.60 a year for
SIO,OOO 5-year term insurance
or $191.90 per year for SIO,OOO
of Ordinary life. The changes
on all policies would be in
creased by a $5.00 annual ad
ministration fee.
At this time the House Vet
erans Affairs Committee is dis
cussing the legislation.
