Rubinoff Has Personal Interest
In Music New to the Violin
When David Rubinoff ap
pear* in popular concert in
Covington at the Newton
County High Auditorium on
Thursday, Dec. 6, he will per
form as violin solos tire full
scores of Chopin's Polonaise,
the Warsaw Concerto, and
Rhaphody in Blue. The Ameri
can public has grown to love
these numbers arranged for
p.ano and orchestra, but Rubi
noff feels they lend themselves
to violin equally as well.
A graduate of the Royal
Conservatory in Warsaw, Pol
and, Rubinoff knew as a child
the martial feeling inspired by
the immortal Polonaise. Even
with freedom today confronted
with tyranny and treachery as
Chopin knew it, the opus is ap
propriate as a current theme of
the times. The Polonaise was
written by Chopin with a :
burning spirit of national sym
pathy and has been likened to
“Cannons Buried in Flowers”.
Rubinoff knew George
Gershwin and heard him per
form the Rhapsody in Blue for
the first time in 1924. Gersh
win wrote the great, jazz clas- .
sic in a few weeks, but in
transcribing it for violin, Ru
bmoff spent months in perfect
ing the arrangement to his sat
isfaction.
He was more fortunate in
preparing the soul - stirring I
Warsaw Concerto as the Com
poser. Richard Addinsell, work
ed with him on the transcribed
violin version. Mr. Addinsell |
felt after hearing Rubinoff
p'.ay the Concerto that it was i
a new revelation in depth of
feeling as only the violin could j
express it.

USDA Livestock
Survey to Start
Next Monday
How many beef cattle, milk
■ cows, sheep and chickens are
on Georgia farms? How much
milk do these cows give and
how many eggs do the hens
lay?
The mammoth task of an
swering these and other ques
tions about livestock on Geor
i gia farms is now facing the
, Georgia Crop Reporting Ser
| vice.
To begin seeking the an
। swers, the service will send
| some 10.000 questionnaires to
livestock and poultry producers.
These cards will be delivered
next week (week of November
19) as the first step of the an
nual production survey con
ducted by the U. S. Department
: of Agriculture.
The survey is made each
year to determine the number
i of animals on hand, as well as
the egg, milk and wool pro
duction, according to Archie
Langley, agricultural statisti
cian for the state.
The livestock survey, Mr.
Langley said, provides the ba
sic information for livestock,
i poultry and wool reports used
iby producers and marketing
men in planning their year’s
activities. A large response to
the survey by producers helps
insure more reliable estimates
for the coming year.
Rural mail carrier* distribu
ute the questionnaire cards for
the Department of Agriculture
to selected farms along their
routes and' pick u>p completed
I cards. Local postmasters take
' care of getting the cards to the
state statisticians and the
i Statistical Reporting Service in
: Washington, which conducts
I the survey.

Bloodmobile
Call, Porterdale
PORTERDALE — Eighty
nine people did what they could
to erase the deficit in blood for
use in Newton County by visit
ing the Red Cross Bloodmobile
at the Anderson Building in
Porterdale on Friday, Novem
ber 9,1962. Others offered
blood, which was all that could
be expected of anyone, and
received credit cards guaran
teeing family coverage for
themselves and their immediate
families for the next three
months.
To meet the needs in Newton
County, i. e. to re-establish the
county on overall coverage, it
will be necessary that at least
133 donors contribute the.r
valuable blood at the Blood
mobile Visit to be held in Ox
ford, Georgia at the Allen
Memorial Methodist Church on
November 19. It is hoped that
this need will be considered and
met by interested citizens.

Annual Meeting Cancer Society
Georgia Division Held in Atlanta
The Sixteenth Annua] Meet
ing of the American Cancer
Society, Georgia Division was
held on November Bth-9th, in
Atlanta, at the Riveria Motel.
Mr. Porter W. Carswell,
President made a challenging
statement. He said the Volun
teer workers and relatively few
members of the ACS, Georgia
Division have a central concept
of “Urgency.”
“We want cancer, with its
death-dealing cruelty, its suf
fering, economic wa s t e-its
stealthy silent attack on our
children, our women and men
in the crime of life stopped at
the earliest possible date.
“Over One Million Georgians
now living will have cancer at
the present rate. We must warn
them, inform them, arouse
them to Act In Time -because
at least half can be cured IF
properly treated while the
cancer is still localized
“Our Research and Medical
Scholarship programs of the
national organization must be
stopped up to Eradicate cancer
as a threat in two of every
three families as quickly as
possible. In the year ended
August 31. 1962, every phase of
every program of cancer con
trol was increased. This sum
mary report lists only the act
ivities which can be reported
in figures. There were many
more things done To Prevent
Suffering And Untimely Deaths
Caused By Cancer.
Please note this- Cancer of
the Uterus, Breast, Thyroid,
CoJen-Rectum. Bladder, Ovary,
Kidney. Prestate and of the
Sking--when treated while
still localized are Potentially
curable--in more than one ot
every two cases. These sites
were responsible foi 120,700
cancer deaths in 1962 and
group were present for the reception as pictured above.
Prior to the Ram-Monroe game the cheerleaders were in
troduced on Sharp Field.
Slate Christmas Seal Campaign

The 56th annual Christmas
Seal Campaign against tuber
culosis and other respiratory
diseases began on Tuesday, No
vember 13. On opening day,
more than 450,000 letters con
taining the traditional Christ
mas Seals for use on holiday

In a ceremony at the state
capitol, Governor S. Ernest
Vandiver was presented a
large white key decorated with
Christmas Seals by the Geor
gia TB Association's Christmas
Seal Committee Chairman Dr.
James E. Chapman, Georgia
State College, Atlanta.
“The key is symbolic of our
theme ‘Keys to Hidden Dis
ease’,” Dr Chapman said.
“Through our Christmas Seal
, 305.000 NEW cases are estim
ated for 1963, in these sites.
In 1962 there were 4,000
deaths from skin cancer; 1,100

the Convention from our
Newton County Chapter
One of the outstanding feat
ures was the Convention Hall
set up as a Court room, with
Judge in robe presiding They
were presecuting the worst
enemv in our midst, namely,
CANCER. The attorneys, both
prosecuting and defending were
wonderful. The witnesses were
outstanding. There was a lady
from Macon who witnessed to
the fact that if the enemy, Can
cer, was caught in time, he was
not deadly. She had suffered
with Cancer of the breast. Her
mother five years before had
it, which helped her to do self
examinations, which so many
women fail to do. Both of them

ITB and advising them to see

There were 1627 new cases
of TB in Georgia last year,
I nearly 390 more than the year
before. Two hundred and nine
of these new cases were in chil
dren. Death claimed 195 Geor
gians last year including five
children.
The TB problem in Georgia
is still tremendous according to
Dr. Chapman. Admissions to
Battey State Hospital for TB
increased 10 per cent in 1961,
the third highest year for ad
missions since 1950.
The annual Christmas Seal
Campaign is the sole support
of voluntary TB associations
who work to eradicate this
age-old disease through health
education, research and patient
services. Ninety-four per cent
of everything that is contribut
ed in Georgia stays in Georgia
to finance local and state pro
grams. Os the six per cent that
goes to support national and
world-wide programs, one per
cent goes directly into medical
research.
‘ join with Mrs. John F.
Kennedy, our National Honor
ary Chairman, in urging all
citizens to be more conscious of
the continuing threat of TB in
our state and nation," Dr.
Chapman said. “We urgently
need your continued generous
support of the 1962 Christmas
Seal Campaign.”

Freezinq Water
Spells Trouble
In Farm Machines
Water used in farm machin
ery tor different purposes can
cause a lot of damage when
I temperatures drop below the
freezing point.
This is not limited to water
I in the cooling systems of trac
j tor and truck engines, but is
I true of several other uses in
, farm machinery that may be
easier to overlook.
i Extension Engineer H B
i Goolsby of the Univeisity of
Georgia College of Agriculture
। made the following suggestions
j for preventing damage from
, frozen water to farm mach-
inery:
Add anti-freeze to all water
cooled engines that will be op
era, ed during Uie winter. Be
sure all engines that will not
be u>ed during cold weather
are drained, and be sure the
block as well as the radiator
is emptied of water.
This precaution should be
taken on all water-cooled en
gines. This would include en
gines on some combines, forage
harvesters, sprayers, hay balers
and other auxiliary engines. Il
also includes engines of irriga
tion systems.
When water is used In trac
tor tires for weight and trac
tion, either drain the water or
add calcium chloride. Water
freezing in the tires damages
the inner fabric, Mr. Goolsby
said.
Other equipment that should
be drained of water includes
irrigation pumps and cotton
pickers, where water is used
as the moistening agent in the
picker.
He added one other caution:
Farmers sometimes fill the
cooling system of a little
used tractor during winter and
then dram it again when
through using it. In extremely
cold weather, allow the engine
to cool »omt before draining

Make a note of what needs to
