tor, he should receive all the
benefits of the best medical
knowledge and skills.”
The second goal of the 1963
Crusade, Mr. Hays said, “will
be more much needed money
for research. Only through re
search can we hope eventually
to save the one half of those
who develop cancer who can
not now be saved. There is
new hope in the scientific com
munity that cancer can be eli
minated as a threat to life.
New knowledge of cancer is
piling up at a rapid rate.”
Mr. Hays said that increased
funds are greatly needed to
keep this knowledge building
toward eventual solution of
the cancer problem. “Contri
butions to the 1963 Crusade
will pay dividends in the fu
ture. It is very gratifying that
the 1962 Crusade, with contri
butions exceeding $39,000,000,
was our best Crusade year in
history. Let’s try to beat it this
year. I believe the people of
Newton County will give more
in 1963 to cure more.”

for case work with boys and
girls with emotional problems.
Assuming responsibility for do
ing something besides simply
talking about the drop-out problem
in Georgia, the state’s Visiting
Teachers are proceeding with
carefully laid plans
“Shared Responsibility in Rec
ognizing and Helping the Potential
Dropouts" was the theme of the
November 10 Visiting Teachers’
Albany conference which assem
bled also psychologists, psychia
trists, social workers, court of
ficials. and ministers. Uniting
their efforts as a team, this group
has set out to work at prevention
of some of the problems which
make a child a dropout.
The U. S. will need 40%
more food, feed and fiber in
less than 20 years, according to
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture.

my chair between him and his
Press Secretary.. .Then I could
not keep my face straight, nor
look at Virginia.. .for I’d as
sured them I was NOT going to
the head table. Don’t ever tell
anybody you are NOT going to
do something.. .for that’s ex
actly what you’ll do. Well it
was quite pleasant, and a pri
vilege to talk to both the Press
Secretary and Governor, about
many things close to my heart.
While he was talking, most in
terestingly, I moved my chair
back just a little, so I would
not be in way of people down
table.. .and my foot slipped
and so help me I kicked the
governor under the table. Well,
Betty was not there to do it...
but he did not need it anyway.
I was really in the doghouse. ..
Then my good friend, the
Manager of the Georgia Press
Association told me, the nice
young man he introduced me
to was going to take me up
town where my friends were
to meet me.. .and he ushered
me out.. .and so help me I was
in the Governor's car, and dri
ven to the point I wanted to
get out. I told him to tell Betty,
that she was not there to do it
if he needed it.. .but he did not
.. .and I had kicked him. May
be I’d better beware of the
governor next time, lest I not
be treated so rovally.
Well, our neighbor, John Bob
Weaver is back from the hos
pital and looking just grand,
after surgery twice. Guess he
decided he'd better get home
before they decided to start
cutting again. But seriously, we
rejoice that his troubles are
over, for he had been annoyed

A March Poem
You know the model of your car
You know just what its powers are,
You treat it with a deal of care
Nor tax it more than it will bear.
But as to self — that’s different;
Your mechanism may be bent,
Your carburetor gone to grass
Your engine just a rusty mass
Your wheels may wobble and your cogs
Be handed over to the dogs;
And you skip, and skid, and slide
Without a thought of things inside.
What fools, indeed, we mortals are,
To lavish care upon a car,
With ne’er a bit of time to see
About our own machinery!
—John Kencrick Bangs
(In Georgia Public Health FAX)
with it for a long time.
Our good friend, Mrs. R. M.
Tuck has been ill at Georgia
Baptist Hospital, and kept us
worried for sometime, but now
they have found trouble and
she is getting along nicely.
Come on home Louise dear, we
are surely missing you!
The First Baptist Church
has been planning a new sanc
tuary for a couple of years, and
God has been good to guide
and direct us in this project.
Funds are coming in nicely,
and as soon as all get their
donations in we feel sure we
will be able to begin this long
needed work. The only regret
we have is that we need a
pipe organ.. .It’s now or never
in this generation.. .and many
more to come.. .for it should
be installed when the sanctu
ary is being remodeled. The
organ people do not care when
they get their money and we
could surely raise it, after we
complete the sanctuary. That’s
an Office Boy for you.. .but
with faith, courage and deter
mination to make God’s house
more beautiful and interesting,
we can overcome any obstacle
.. .that we know.. .so why not
let’s go after that Pipe Organ
.. .Don’t you know, when you
bought your home by yourself,
with no collections coming in
.. .or donations... you bit off
more than you would to just
help the congregation and
members pay for an organ. If
we want anything, and want
it bad enough we get it.. .so
why not get the best for our
Church.. .NOW don’t you tell
me this is not MY business...
maybe I know it’s not.. .for we
are not on that committee...
in fact so many new ones have
been added we do not know
who ALL’S on it.. .but we do
know.. .we “Ain’t Meddlin!”
we are just plain thinking
aloud.. .and sometimes Ideas
materalize.. .just like the one
about which site would be
selected for the Pastorium of
which we are justly proud
now. So EVERYBODY.. .If you
know anybody on that New
Building Committee.. .put a
bug in their air that will be
something like MUSIC from a
Pipe Organ in our Church...
Why I believe I would some
day, maybe even try to sing
myself if we had one.
Please come by the Coving
ton News and pick up a ticket
for the Barbecue at Mansfield
on March 27th. It will be from
5:30 to 8:30 p. m.
OH March! You treacherous
month! You are behaving
beautiful right now.. .please
do not let us down! The daffo
dils, and all forms of narcissus
. .flowering peach, plum, cherry,
hyacinths and shrubs are at
their loveliest! We are basking
in the luxury of Spring at long
last... please March do not
let us down! We've been shut
in all winter, a hard winter...
and we know it turns a little
cool around Easter.. .but so
help me, 1 think we've had
enough of cold bad weather.
We could get our chins up. . .if
we had a little more sunshine
to bask in.. .and forget the
dark days behind us. We just
“ain’t” in no humor to take
another bad spell of weather
.. .shut in four walls! Please
Mr. March, be kind to us.
Bob Travis is a candidate for
Lieut. Governor of the Youth
Assembly. We know of no finer
young man in the State. . .and
we are all rooting for him...
just wish we all had a vote.. .
but when Bob gets up and
speaks before that group. . and
they see his ability.. .1 hope
with all my heart they will
elect him to this office. He is
capable, and efficient.. .but his
wonderful Christian character
is a beacon light, here in the
community in which he lives.
He is a shining example for
every young person with whom
he comes in contact... and a
challenge to many of his eld
ers. Win or lose, Bob will leave
his foot prints in the sand of
time, as an example to the
youth of our State! We of the
Baptist Church do not have to
say we are for you Bob.. .for
we know you best, and you
hold a very close place within
our hearts.
But here’s that 8r00m...
reminding me.. .1 can’t vote,
and I'd better do my job 0f...’

people of other countries with
his Uncle Remus stories. Mr.
Harris, like Brer Rabbit in his
stories, was “born and bred in
de briar patch.” The town was
Eatonton; the time, Dec. 9,
1848, some 12 years before the
Civil War began. While work
ing on the Atlanta Constitution,
another writer failed to turn in
copy for a series of Negro
sketches he was writing. Pinch
hitting, Joel Chandler Harris
wrote the first Uncle Remus
story, “The Wonderful Tar
Baby.” Thus began a style in
American folklore that even
today has not been surpassed.
Eli Whitney, called the father
of interchangeable parts, mass
production and the assembly
line, also qualified as a father
of Georgia prosperity with his
invention of the cotton gin. Be
fore its invention in 1793, cot
ton fibers were separated from
the seed by hand. Done this'
way, it took all day to obtain I
one pound of cotton. After the !
invention of the gin, cotton |
production jumped from 3,000 i
bales per year to 73,000 bales |
per year in 1800.
And in Savannah in 1912 the |
first Girl Scout troup was or
ganized in the home of Mrs.
Juilette Low. Until her death
in 1927, Mrs. Low gave gener
ously of her time, money, and
enthusiasm to develop the
movement that now provides
wholesome activity for millions
of girls in the country and
throughout most of the world.
Another event of interna
tional significance took place
in Jefferson, Georgia on March
30, 1842. Dr. Crawford Long,
a young surgeon, performed
the first recorded operation on
an anesthetized patient. Dr.
Long administered sulfuric
ether before removing a tumor
from the neck of James Vena
ble, who felt no pain during
the operation. Although the
operation was a complete suc
cess, Dr. Long did not make
his work public until 1849 af
ter he had used ether in more
operations. Meanwhile the ben
efits of surgical anethesia had
been proved by others, and Dr.
Long’s delay in reporting his
discovery kept him for many
years from being recognized as
the world's pioneer anethetist.
These are only a few of the
subjects covered in the 17
lavishly-illustrated pages de
voted to Georgia. In the easy
reference Fact-Index located
in the back of each volume
there are scores of additional
references to Georgia through
out the 15 volumes. The mas
sive United States article dis
cusses further aspects of the
state, including geography and
climate features.
An outstanding feature of
the 1963 edition is the two
page political map. Maps in
other standaixi reference works
are usually divided in the cen
ter of the volume. In Comp
ton's, however, the maps are
“stubbed in" presenting an un
broken two-page spread for
easy reference. Even Braswell,
in Paukiing County, with a re
ported population of 14 is in
cluded.
Principle Georgia cities are
briefly described in the mam
state article and are also treat
ed as separate feature articles
throughout the set. Six infor
mation-packed fact summary
pages follow the Georgia ar
| tide giving up-dated statistics
j and graphs on education, pro
ducts produced, transportation,
communication, govern m e n t
and other data.
FOOD FOR TREES
The food a tree uses is manu
factured in the leaves and needles.
Therefore, good healthy tops or
crowns are necessary for good
' growth. That’s why Extension for
| esters at the University of Geor
gia recommend that pine stands
[ be thinned fairly early — while
j the trees are still putting on good
I height growth.
According to New Holland,
many farmers can cut livestock
feeding costs by doing their
own feed processing with a
portable grinder-mixer. ।
Persons on S.S.
Must Know
Most people who drew so
cial security benefits last year
and earned over SI2OO must
make an annual report to the

According to Mr. E. L. Rawls,
district manager here for so

ficiaries excepted from this are
those over 72. Mr. Rawls said
that these annual reports are
due whether the beneficiary
draws retirement, wife’s, wid

benefits are supposed to noti

These annual reports, due by
April 15, 1963, should not be
