Make the

Switch to a
flameless electric heat pump
If your home is uncomfortable even one day out of the
year, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
If you spend five minutes in 10 years adjusting a thermo
stat, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
The right system is an electric heat pump. In cold
weather, the heat pump keeps you warm. Anywhere in
your house. And the heat pump cools and dries the air
inside when it’s hot and sticky outside.
When you first get a heat pump, you set the thermostat
at the temperature you want. When the seasons change,
the heat pump automatically switches from heating to
cooling to maintain that temperature. You don’t have to
touch anything. Or call anyone.
Make the Great Escape. Make this the year you switch
to an electric heat pump.

Progress
i’he research progress being
made in overcoming birth de

this year than ever for the Jan
uary fund-raising campaign of
the March of Dimes, underway
through January 31st.
While the toll of 250,000
U.S. children afflicted annually
with birth defects, mental and
physical abnormalities, remains
far too high (an estimated
1400 in Fulton County alone
last year) the picture is chang
ing.
Within the last year, science
has made concrete progress to
eliminate birth defects from
two major causes:
I. A new vaccine that can
prevent Rh blood disease.
2. A vaccine against German
measles (rubella) in the final
stages of testing.
Both of these will go into
general use the coming year.
As of December 16th, all
interstate sales of firearms and
ammunition, other than those
between licensed manufactur

most restrictive national gun

becoming a permanent fact
with the formation of the Clay
ton County Extension Com

After contacting interested
citizens throughout the coun
ty. a group began to meet to
decide upon goals for a suc
cessful Y.M.C.A. program. Mr.
Blalock was elected chairman
and from those showing the
greatest interest in this pro
gram, the first Clayton County
Extension Committee was
formed with 19 members.
Mr. Joe Cobble was then
assigned to Clayton County as
Community Program Director
Y.M.C.A. and has been work
ing for several months through
out the county on Indian
Guide and Gra-Y programs in
cooperation with the schools.
He will also be working direct
ly with the extension commit
tee to guide and lend profes
sional assistance.
I’he committee will meet
each Ist Thursday of the
month and will begin immed
iately on its first sustaining
membership drive. Mrs. Bobby
