Mrs. Rowland Named To
Young Women Os America
Mrs. Aubrey Jones Rowland
of Cartersville was one of four
women of Cartersville being na
med as Outstanding Young Wo
men of America and will appear
in the annual biographical com
pilation of 5,000 chosen for this
honor.
Mrs. Rowland is the wife of
Dr. J. E. Rowland of Carters
ville and the daughter of Mrs.
Campbell To
Supervise
Medicated Feed
ATLANTA - Georgia Comm
issioner of Agriculture Phil
Campbell has been commissioned
by the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration to regulate the
manufacture of medicated animal
feed produced in Georgia plants.
Will N. Swain, Regional Assis
tant Commissioner of the U. S.
Food and Drug Administration
presented Campbell with the co
mmission in the agriculture ch
iefs offices Friday morning.
Commissioner Campbell, in
turn, delivered commissions to
three members of his staff who
will administer the program: Ce
cil Spooner, director of the de
partment’s feed, fertilizer and
pesticide division. Bobby Joe Wo
fford and William Mathis, who
have been trained and sanctioned
as medicated feed inspectors.
"This program represents an
extension of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture’s current
program regulating the manu
facturing of medicated animal
feeds,” Campbell said.
“The use of Georgia state in
spectors, in the place of federal
inspection personnel, is in kee
ping with the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture’s position
that regulatory programs invol
ving agricultural products manu
factured in Georgia should be
administered by state per
sonnel,” Campbell said.
Government standards on me
dicated feed are necessary be
cause of the increased use of
antibiotics and other medicated
additives in animal feeds today.
The Federal government sets
national standards to prevent
harmful residues in meat and
animal products. Under auth
ority of the commissions, Co
mmissioner Campbell and his
staff will insure that Federal
standards prevail in the produc
tion of such feeds.
