Bruce Hancock, Social Circle,
secretary of the association
says, “Last spring was the first
sale we had held at Social
Circle. We were well pleased
with the facilities and the large
crowd that turned out. Our
breed is growing in strength in
the Southeast because of the
large number of commercial
cattlemen who are cross-breed
ing with Shorthorn and Polled
Shorthorn bulls to get hybrid
vigor, more weight-for-age,
and more milk in replacement
heifers. Last year we sold 16
bulls. We expect that most of
Covington FHA
Has Program on
"Your Values"
By Teresa Elder
Although it should not be so, 1
will have to admit I had no idea
how to get up a program on “You
and Your Values” when Mrs.. Mc-
Kinsey gave me the job for a
Covington FHA meeting.
I had help from others, read
many articles and with Mrs. Mc-
Kinsey's help, we gave the most
interesting and valuable program
we have given this year. I think.
I am sure the 89 members were
impressed by the many ideas, sug
gestions, and advice given by the
following students.
The subject “You and Your Val
ues” was assigned by the National
FHA as a project for us. Teresa
Elder led the group by asking
these questions.
Susan Elliott, “What Are Val
ues?"
Sandra Allen, “Where do we
Acquire Our Values?”
Margie Brown, “Are Values
Learned?”
Solil Kendricks, “Are Youth
Themselves a Value?”
Ellen Sams, “How is the Value
of Youth Tempted?”
Brenda Bonner, “Is Citizenship
a Value?”
Ilene Stowe. “How Can We as
Teen-agers Support Better Citi
zenship?”
Sherry Russell, “Is Education a
Value?”
Mary Jane Odum. “Do You Val
ue Your Reputation?”
Janey Wise, “Do You Value
the 44 consigned this year will
go to commercial herds.”
Georgia consignors are: 801 l
Weevil Plantation, Waynesboro;
Rivoli Farms, Macon; Foxdale
Farms, Duluth; W. E. Giddens,
Madison; Bruce W. Hancock.
Stone Mountain and Social
Circle; Gaynor & Emory Shur
ley, Warrenton; Odom L.
Reese, Warrenton; Irwin & Ir
win, Sandersville; George Ree
ves, Thomson.
Your Family?”
The meeting was closed by the
members singing their favorite
songs.

Natural Radiation
Is Far Heavier
Than Fallout
Fallout is a minor factor in
the radiation that man receives.
Dr. G. L. Crocker, regional
radiological consultant of the
U. S. Public Health Service,
put the figure at 1.5 per cent of
the radiation man gets from
natural sources, in a talk at
Emory University.
.Following massive Russian
tests fallout rose to over ten
per cent of normal background
radiation and in some instances
higher, he commented.
Georgia has one of the finest
radiological health laboratories
in the country and its own net
work for frequent reports, Dr.
Crocker said.
