will not be necessary to report as- (
! ter the holidays that any of our
nice children were hurt by fire
works. You have to admit that
they arc fun, hut the chances one
must take to use them make the
price 100 high for a little fun. Al
though it is against the law to
sell them, some merchants have
them available. If used at all, fire
works should be used only under
adult supervision.

ty law requires an increase in the
amount deducted from the em

means that 2M> per cent will be
deducted from the first $4,800 an

TURN ABOUT: It’s our guess
that if Ilawkinsville ever gets a
shot at Vienna in football, the go- 1
ing for Vienna will be rugged. The
Vienna basketball team defeated
Hawkinsville last week about 130
to 30. Hawkinsville had only nine
players dressed and seven fouled
out of the game. Vienna scored
50 points in the last quarter, in
which Hawkinville played only
two men for five minutes. And
Vienna put on a “full court press”
with five against two men. So if
Hawkinsville ever gets the upper
hand in any sport, it’s a pretty
sure bet they’ll show Vienna no
mercy. And who will blame them?

Home Economics
Program Slated
Students from all over the state
will soon be taking part in the an
nual Home Economics Day spon
sored by the School of Home Econ
omics of the University of Geor
gia on January 30, 1959. There
will be nearly a thousand high
schobl and junior college students
from all the state of Georgia that
( will take advantage of the oppor-
I tunity to see what the University
offers in the field of Home Econ
omics.
An interesting program is plan
ned and guided tours will take the
guests to Dawson Hall, Home Man
! agement Houses, Nursery School,
Infant Center, and freshmen dor
mitories.
The four departments of the
School of Home Economics will ex
hibit displays showing activities of
students in many courses. These
include those in equipment and
housing, family development, clo
thing and textiles, and food and
nutrition. These displays help to
familiarize the young women with
the ten different majors and the
; activities of students in the School
of Home Economics.
The program will conducted and
preented by the students and fa
culty in the School of Home Econ
omics. Student chairmen elected
include: Gloria Paterfield, Colbert,
general chairman; with Leah Mae
Jarrett, Mt. Berry, co-chairman;
Peggy Bargeron, Waynesboro, pub
licity chairman; Martha Mills, By
ron, refreshments; Shirley Tram

Suburbs really aren’t much dif
ferent from the “inner” city, a
University of Michigan sociologist
maintains.
Bernard M. Lazerwitz (Ph. D)
says that studies of the character
istics of residential belts in metro
politan communities from 1950 to
1956 indicate that
1) The middle class of both the
suburbs and the inner city is much
the same, although there may be
more wealthy and fewer poor peo
ple in the suburbs.
2) There is comparatively little
difference in middle class savings
from 1950-56.
3) Politically, suburbia is more
two party than is ordinarily be
lieved—and is becoming more so.
On the subject of party voting in
the suburbs and in the inner city,
Lazerwitz says: “In 1948 there was
a large percentage of persons not
voting, especially in the general
election in the South. In 1952, the
Republicans gained because more
people voted—and voted Republi
can. There were fewer non-voters
in that election.
“In 1952 and 1956, Eisenhower
did relatively well in the inner
city, but didn’t do as well in sub
urbia. It has been assumed that
for the most part suburbia has a
one-party outlook. However, sub

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I trust
that each and everyone of you is
enjoying the holidays. I hope that
each and everyone of you will have
a happy and peaceful New Year.
Home Orchards
One way that many farm fami
lies could enjoy better life in the
future would be to establish a
home fruit orchard and to plant
more small fruits in the family
garden. The time to plant such
fruit trees and plants is NOW for,
planting in December and Janu
ary is better than planting later
in the year. A home orchard
should be located on a hill top or
slope, not in a valley. Avoid known
locations of early or late frost.
Select a sandy loam soil with a
subsoil that is well drained. Avoid
deep sands and wet-natured soils. 1
Planting
All plants should be dormant
j when set. If excessive heaving is
expected, strawberry plants may 1
! have to be set in the spring. You
| should plant the same day the
| plants arrive from the nursery or
j heel in the plants in a soil bank.
I Prepare soil just as you would
for planting vegetables. Dig holes
twice as deep as plants are to be
set, filling hole with topsoil. The
hole should be wide enough to
accomodate roots without folding
or bending them. Pack soil firmly
around plants to prevent drying
out and to keep plants in posi
tion. Plant all fruit and nut trees
and bushes one or two inches
deeper than they were in the nur
sery, except strawberries which
urbia is more two-party than we
ordinarily believe—and is becom
ing more so in spite of the Eisen- .
hower landslides.”
One reason Lazerwitz cites for
the two-party outlook being more
evident now is that it took the sub
urbs some time to work out an
effective Democratic structure and
to find successful candidates.
“The majority of citizens don’t
change their party affiliation when
they move from the inner city to
the suburbs,” he adds.
The political boundary between
the cities and the suburbs is an
artificial one which shows that the
inner city doesn’t necessarily end
at the city limits. There is a grad
ual change from the inner city to
the suburbs, he adds.
The report was based on sample
studies of consumer finances, con
sumer expectations and political
behavior throughout the country.
So far as income and education
are concerned, Lazerwitz says,
“There is an almost equal per
centage of people in both the sub
urbs and the inner city who have
a high school education and who
have an income between $4,000-
$7,499.
For inner cities as a whole, in
1956, 22 per cent of family heads
had one or more years of college
educa*ion.
should be set at their original
depth.
Fertilization of Small Fruits
Fertilize strawberries with one
and a half pounds of an 8-8-8 fer
tilizer per 25 feet of row, three
times a year—March, June and
October. Raspberries, blackberries
and dew berries should receive
, one and a half pounds of 8-8-8 per
| 25 feet or row. Repeat this on dew
berries in June when all vines are
; removed. Fertilize grapes with
I one-half pound of 5-10-10 per plant
j per year of age up to 6 or 8 pounds
'| to a mature vine. Blueberries
,! should receive one-half to three
quarters pound of an acid-forming
' 1 fertilizer such as used for azaleas.
For figs, apply one pound of 8-8-8
per plant per year of age up to 6
to 8 pounds.
Fertilizer of Tree Fruits
I Apply one pound of 8-8-8 per
j tree per year of age—pecan and
' pear trees are exceptions; pecans
need three pounds per tree per
i year of age, while pears need only
three-quarters pound per tree per
year of age. Maximum applications
are; plums and peaches—6 to 8
pounds; apples 25 pounds, and
pears l5 pounds. Fertilizers
1 should be applied in the spring
before growth begins except where
soil is very sandy. In this case,
apply one-half of fertilizer when
fruit crop has set. Should apples
and pears show signs of too much
annual growth, change from a 8-
8-8 to a 4-12-12 fertilizer.
Use Newspaper Ads
Proof of the local newspaper’s
effectiveness is demonstrated in
recent Sperry and Hutchinson
Company advertisements in this
and other Georgia newspapers.
Although trading stamps are a
form of advertising, the trading
people turn to local newspapers to
acquaint our readers with their
program, purposes and perspec
tive.
Many thought that radio and
television would supplant the “old
reliable,” but all of these fine
media use paid newspaper adver
tising to tell their story and ad
vertise their programs . . . ample
proof that the hometown newspa
per is here to stay!
Don’t guess! Keep dairy records.
This advice comes from dairymen
at the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, University of Georgia Col- 1
lege of Agriculture.

1 BV THE OLD TIMERS
— - - , a
From Mrs. Anna R. O’Neil, Ven
ice, Calif.: I remember when my
father had a farm in Minnesota,
Vi mile from Mayer, I took my
first train ride to Minneapolis in
1886 with my mother and uncle,
as they wanted to see the ice pal
ace and the Indians and their
tents near St. Paul.
Many people lived in basement
houses in Minneapolis at that time
and we could see the lights in the
evening. The street cars were
drawn by 4-horse teams. When we
got off the street car, I told my
uncle I had lost my mittens and
he had the driver stop so I could
get them.
My father’s farm had a big
brick oven built like an eskimo
hut and my mother would build a
big fire in it and as it was burned
to ashes, she would clean it out
and bake from nine to ten loaves
of bread in it. My father had a
binder by that time, thoug' many
neighbor.’ still used the reaper,
and many women would go and
bind the wheat by hand.
