Georgia Fish
Outlets Get Rigid
Inspections Now
ATLANTA, Oct. 8 — Commis
sioner of Agriculture Phil Camp
bell announced today that due to
the report of botulism poisoning
from smoked whitefish in Knox
ville. Tenn.. Georgia Department
of Agriculture food division in
spectors have been sent through
out the state to check wholesale
and large independent retail out
lets of fish.
Department inspectors are
placing any and all fish suspected
of contamination or with any pos
sibility of danger under a
“WITHHOLD FROM SALE” or
der until samples have been
checked to insure their safety.
Commissioner Campbell said
that because the company which
distributed the fish suspected of
causing the death of a Knoxville
father and his daughter is a na
tional firm that distributes
throughout the country, it is
highly possible that some of the
fish is in Georgia.
All housewives who have any
fish packed or distributed by the
H. D. Dornbos Company are urg
ed to return the package to the
store where it was purchased.
The Knoxville fish was pur
chased from Kroger stores: how
ever, it is likely that other stores
do have the fish on hand.
The Dornbos Company and all
stores are reportedly doing all
within their power to recall or des
troy any fish suspected of caus
ing poisoning. However, Campbell
stated that the state inspectors
will continue their check as a
double protective measure to
Georgia housewives.

Now's the Time
To Make Thal
Leaf Tour!
The second and third weekends
in October this year are the best
for veiwing Autumn's tumultuous
splendor in the mountains.
One of Georgia's most popular
events of the year is the annual
pilgrimage to North Georgia's
mountains for a view of the many
splendored trees.
To most Central and South
Georgians, the distance to the
mountains necessitates an over
night stay, so why not take your
tent along and camp in one of
Georgia's State Parks? The com
fort stations in the camping areas
will be open until the firs, threat
of freezing weather. If you pre
fer more luxurious accommoda
tions. cabins are located at Uni
coi, Vogel. Amicalola Falls an i
Fort Mountain State Parks.
Cloudland Canyon State Park m
the northwest corner of Georgia,
and Black Rock Mountain Stat a
Park in the northeast corner, of
fer breath - taking scenic views
in addition to modern camping fa
cilities.
So. get out your road map now
and mark all the State Parks
north of you. Should there be on*
on your route north that you
have not yet visited, plan to pic
nic there on your way “goin’ an I
cornin' ". If it is a memorial park,
you will find a museum there
that would be of interest to young
and old alike.
