FFA Week, Feb. 18-25
Membership in the FFA is made
up of farm boys who are students
of vocational agriculture in high
school. The organization’s activi
ties are designed primarily to help
develop rural leadership and good
citizenship, and to stimulate the
boys to better achievement in their
study and work toward successful
establishments in farming or other
agricultural occupations.
The Bryan County FFA Chap
ter has 109 members. Officers are:
president, Everett Cowart! vice
president, Edward Lewis; secre
tary, George Kangeter; treasurer,
Douglas Leonard; reporter, Joe
Thomas; sentinel, Evan Page; and
parliamentarian, Linton Scott.
Mr. C. N. McGee, vocational
agriculture instructor in Bryan
County High School, serves as ad
visor of the FFA chapter. The
National Future Farmer organiza
tion has 378,000 members with
9,000 local chapters in the United
States, and Puerto Rico. Future
Farmers choose the week of George
Washington’s birthday each year
for the observance of National
FFA Week. Although usually as
Revolutionary War General and
our first president, Washington's
first love was the farm he called
Mount Vernon. There, he was one
of the first in the nation to prac
tice contour planting, crop rota
tions, fertilization, and other soil
conservation, and improvement
methods. It was more than a cen
tury after Washington’s death be
fore general use was made of many
of the sound agricultural practices
that he advocated.
Junior Class Has Car Wash
On Saturday, February 18, the
J unior Class had a car wash at the
Ball Park. The reason was to en
large the treasury artd to finance
the Junior-Senior Dance, sponsor
ed by the Junior Class at the end
of the school year. We sincerely
thank everyone who took a part
in the car wash. If the weather is
right we will have another car
wash at the ball park Saturday,
February 25, starting at 9 in the
morning. The ball park is locat
ed just east of the Court House.
Will appreciate everyone’s help.
Marvin Medders, Reporter
Junior Class Salesman
The Junior Class is also under
taking another fund raising pro
ject, which is to sell Germtrol, a
Stanley product. Mrs. C. H. Du
bois is responsible for giving us
the opportunity of selling this pro
duct. Mrs. Dubois is going to of
fer a prize to the boy and girl who
sell the most. So when a Junior
comes knocking at your door,
please buy at least one quart from
from him or her. We need every
body’s help, and believe me, it
surely will be appreciated.

Fourth Grade News
Last week we studied and read
some stories about George Wash
ington, our first president. We
then made some booklets in the
shape of hatchets putting in them
some of the facts we had learn
ed. These booklets with a silhou
ette of Washington in the center
were arranged on the bulletin
board in the hall by Carolyn Warn
cil, Cynthia Edmonds, Cynthia
Waters, Michael Butler, Charles
McGee, and Frank Mlles.
We have begun practicing our
chapel program. We will have two
' short plays, “The Doctor Gives Ad
vice,” and “The Good English
Fairy.”
In Science we have just finish
ed studying all the groups of ani
mals. We especially enjoyed the
insect group, since we had u num
, ber of insects to look at. Our bulle
' tin board shows the ways in which
' insects are alike and a number of
different kinds of mounted insects.
। Since the elementary school has
j chosen electricity, machines, and
, magnetism to work on for the
Science Fair in Savannah on March
। 18, we will begin studying ma
, chiiies now.

Pre-Season Boat Check Pays Off
Most boaters start the season with a full com
plement of safety equipment on board, but outboard
people have found that many tend to neglect these
things as the season goes along.
Now would be a good time to run a '‘safety
check” on your boat to make sure that everything
is as it should be.
Commonly neglected items in many out*
boards are life jackets ant buoyant cushions.
Check to see that all straps and ties are still
sewed on firmly.
If life jackets have been stored in the forward
hold or under the seats, examine them for any signs
of mildew or rot. Make sure that the covering of
bouyant cushions has not worn through and that
the stitching is tight and secure at al) points.
Go over your boat thoroughly. Screws and bolts
have a way of working loose, so check each one for
tightness with a good screwdriver of the correct
size. If they are too worn to tighten properly, re
place them immediately with others of the same
length in the next larger thickness.
How are your lights? Check all wires and
connections and replace bulbs. Clean the lenses
... a good household cleanser will cut any film
which has accumulated on them.
Your battery and battery box should be clean
and free from any corrosion residue. A strong solu
tion of baking soda is best for this job, but don’t
let any get into the battery itself. If your motor ia
not equipped with a generator, take the b&ttery into
a service station and have it brought up to full
charge.
Examine all your “lines” very thoroughly. Any
manila hemp rope Thich has become very soft
should be replaced, for the softness means that
the fibers have broken and will not carry a full load.
Cleats and other hardware should be checked to
see that they are secure.
The inside of your boat should be given a
thorough inspection. Are all seats tight? Are steer
ing wheel and control lever secured firmly ?
If there is any woodwork on your boat, check
for splintering. A file and sandpaper will re
move the possibility of any splinters causing
injury to yourself or your passengers. Smooth
down the rough spots and revarnish them right
away.
You have a fire extinguisher on board, and some
sort of whistle or horn. But what about a first aid
kit? If you have one, check its contents; if you
haven’t, this is an important item you shouldn’t
put off acquiring.
Finally, give yourself a safety check. Go over
the rules of safe boating. Review your knowledge
of the laws and practices of the waterways.
These few simple precautions, taken before you
cast off for a day on the water, will save time, prop
erty and even life. They are based on recommenda
tions contained in the OBC Seamanship Course.
1. Don’t go aboard with arms full of gear. Stow
your equipment aboard first, stack it on the dock
and load it after you are seated, or have someone
hand it to you. Be careful when fueling. Keep all
flames and sparks away. Keep a fire extinguisher
handy.
2. Never jump into your boat from a dock.
It could injure you or damage the boat.
3. Don’t overload. Overloading reduces free
board and places you in danger of swamping. The
number of seats in a boat is no indication of ca
pacity; they’re to provide different seating arrange
ments. The Outboard Boating Club of America
capacity plate is a sure guide to safe loading.
4.’ Keep the weight of your passengers and
gear evenly distributed from side to side and
from bow to stern.
5. Check your motor installation before start
ing the motor. The drive shaft should be perpen
dicular to the water. A motor tilted forward will
force the stern down and the bow up. A motor tilted
backward will raise the stern and push the bow down.
If the propeller isn’t deep enough, it won’t get a good
"bite” and your motor will be overstrained.
6. The motor should be mounted in the center
of the transom. Make sure that the bracket screws
are tight. Loop a chain or line through the brackets
and the transom knee brace as a precaution against
losing the motor.
7. If your motor does not have a gear shift,
be sure to cast off the mooring lines before
starting the motor. If it does have a gear khift,
start the engine in neutral, then release the
lines.
8. Allow plenty of room for the stern to swing
around when turning away from the dock.

Ga. Power Co.
Check for P'broke
Is $1,734.48
A check for $1,734.48 was de
livered to the city of Pembroke on
February 17, 1961, by W. R.
Thompson, local manager of the
Georgia Power Company.
This payment represents three
per cent of the gross receipts in
1960 from the sale of electric
power to commercial and residen
tial customers of the company un
der the Municipal Partnership
Plan. The three per cent tax is
paid by the company in place of
occupation and franchise taxes and
is in addition to the company’s
property taxes which, on a state
wide basis, totaled $6,123,000 last
year.
More than $2,384,000 is being
paid to the communities of Georgia
for 1960 under the Municipal Part
nership Plan. This is an increase
of more than $92,000 over 1959.
The company’s total tax bill for
1960 was $29,875,000. This does i
not includt* the sales tax which
i the company collects from its cus
tomers for the State of Georgia
nor the sales tax which the com
pany pays on materials used in
its operations.
Heart Diseases
Cause Most Deaths
In Georgia
Out of a total of 86 deaths in ;
Effingham County, 43, or 50
percent, were attributed directly'
to disorder s of the heart and ■
blood vessels. This represents a ■
1 percent decrease from the pre
ceding year, when these diseases
accounted for 51 2 percent of the
total.
Heart diseases were responsible
for 52.9 percent of all deaths in
Georgia during 1959, more than
all other causes combined, the
Georgia Heart Association re-
IpOrtM this week.
Figures compiled by the associ
ation from the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health indicated
that 17,676 of the 33,376 deaths
in the state during 1959 were
caused by diseases of the heart
artd circulatory system.
The state wide percentage of
I heart deaths was 52.9 aw com
: pared to 53.3 percent in 1958 and
52.8 percent in 1957.
Dr. Arthur M. Knight, Jr., pre
sident of the Georgia Heart As
sociation, said that these statis
tics and the annual national death
toll of 900,000 caused by these
diseases indicates that much re
mains to be done in heart re
search.
“We must support research. We
rmwt provide the means where
by competent research scientists
can kee pdelving into the causes
of the cardiovascular disorders.
The beet Way we can do this is
through the Heart Fund,” he said j
Dr. Knight said the American ■
Heart Association has provided:
nearly SSO million for research:
and that the Georgia Heart As
sociation alone has allocated more
than $860,000 for this purpose ■
since 1950
“Dramatic progress has been
made through these programs,
but we cannot become compla
cent. Heart disease is an emeny
that can strike your family and
mine. We must provide a healt
hier future for them,” Dr. Knight
said.
The Waycross internist said the i
Georgia Heart Association’s car-;
diac clinic system has assisted
thousands of Georgia heart pat
ients and the GHA’s stroke edu
cational program is bringing re
newed hope for a more vigorous j
and useful life to many of the
state’s 40.000 stroke victims.
