Mr. and Mrs. Nunn
Honored by Case
On Nassau Visit
NASSAU Marc B. Rojtman,
president of J. I. Case Company,
congratulated Francis Nunn of
George C. Nunn & Son, Perry, Ga.
at a special dinner as winner of a
J. I. Case Eagle or 25M Award for
outstanding sales performance.
The J. I. Case Company in 1958
achieved the highest sales record
in its 116-year history, surpassing
the previous high establihed in
1949.
Mrs. Nunn shared honors with
her husband. They were expected
to return Monday.
The reception was held in tropi
cal Nassau, in the Bahama Is
lands, during the company’s 1959 j
World Premiere of 32 brand-new
Case farm and utility construction
machines which will soon become
available to farmers and contrac
tors in this area.
Over a period of eight weeks,
more than 6,000 Case dealers and
their wives from all over the world
will be arriving in Nassau in DC
7’s and Jetstream Constellations to
attend the Premiere, which will
constitute the largest civilian air
lift in history.
Case World Premiere headquar
ters reports from Nassau that or
ders for the 1959 line are running
more than 50 per cent ahead of
the record-breaking $l5O million
of orders placed at Case’s last
year’s World Premiere in Phoe
nix, Arizona. Commented Marc B.
Rojtman, Case president, “It looks
like Case dealers except to again
establish a new all-time high sales
record in 1959.”

men of the Church of the Perry
Presbyterian Church will meet at

The city shown above is a desert metropolis, out in the land of the
painted desert.
Growing by leaps and bounds, this city stands as a monument to
man s conquest of arid land, and in the process has become a major
resort area, convention site, distribution and industrial center, and
agricultural empire.
Population rose from 106,000 in 1950 to more than 172,000 today in
this city which is also the capital of a great western state.
Climate, sunshine and lots of “elbow room’’ have aided this city’s
growth.

* FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. tmll(j
Everyone Has Important Obligations
"My father is so strict I have no
freedom at all compared to other
kids,” pens a teenage boy, who
adds “I’ve heard that in his young-
I er days my father used to ‘stir
things up,’ so why should he be so
* tough on me?”
• Outside of the concept that we are
. “free" men because we live in a nation
that believes in freedom, none of us
I are ever really “free." If we were com
| pletely "free," we would have no res
Money from Seals
, Supports Research
; “Christmas Seal money from
Houston County and Georgia is
, helping support forty-eight (48)
| grants made from tuberculosis re
search,” said W. K. Whipple,
chairman of Houston County TB
Association.
The grants have been awarded
by the National Tuberculosis As
’ sociation with which Houston
| County is affiliated. Mr. Whipple
1 made this statement in connection
; with a report of the 1958 Christ
mas Seal Sale.
Total returns for Houston Coun
ty to date amount to $2,023.81.
The grants are part of the medi
-1 cal education and medical research
program of the National Tubercu
losis Association. Since 1921, the
National Tuberculosis Association
and its medical section, the Am
erican Trudeau Society, have
awarded grants totalling $3,000,-
000. In addition many research
projects are sponsored by local
and state tuberculosis associations
and paid for with Christmas Seal
funds.
Current National Tuberculosis
Association sponsored research
projects deal with immunity and
better methods of treatment. Re
searchers are looking for more an
swers about the so called “wonder
drugs.” Expedience has proved
that many new drugs, at first
thought promising, are not effect- !
ive for one reason or the other.
No new drugs found recently have
proved as good as the standard
ones now in use. These are isoni
azid, PAS (para-amino-salicylic
acid) and streptomycin.
Presently in Georgia three cities
are participating in a drug study
program. It is designed to test
isoniazid as a prophylaxis. Free
tuberculosis drugs are available to
patients following hospitalization.
The home drug treatment program
is supervised by the health depart
ment and a physician.
Medical research has brought
about great progress in the tuber
culosis fight. This progress has
been not only in drugs, but in
surgery and other phases of tuber
culosis control. However, tubercu
losis is still a long-term illness.
The treatment is long and the so
cial and economic problem related
to tuberculosis make treatment
more difficult than for some dis
eases. In the face of progress in
treatment and the declining death
rate, many people feel that tuber
culosis is licked. The fact that
1,630 new cases were reported in
Georgia in 1957 refutes this be
lief.
“Christmas Seal dollars have
helped bring tuberculosis to the
door of defeat,” said Mr. Whipple.
“Yet the killing blows must be
dealt. When you buy Christmas
Seals, you are helping strike at
this deadly foe.” If you have not
yet bought your 1958 Christmas
Seals, please do so today urges the
chairman.
Georgia Products

America’s states and territories

munity, If it Is a good community,
deserves our support and apprecla*
tion, so that it may remain a On*
place in which to live.
And. further on the matter of "fret*
dom,” the teenager who has no parent*
al supervision or is subject to no elder
authority, is likely to stray off the
road here and there along the way.
Some parents may be too strict,
more so than is necessary. But, at
a general rule, they act sincerely,
with the right purpose in mind, and
try to base their actions upon
knowledge and wisdom that ha*
come with the years of living.
The best advice the author can give
to a teenager who feels his parents are
"too" strict is for that teenager to con
duct himself at all times in a fashion
that will prove that it is not necessary
for the guiding hand to be always so
firm and heavy.
Generally speaking, many par*
ents are not strict because they en*
joy being so, or because they want
to be —it is usually because they
feel it is necessary that they do.
- duction is essential, believe agron
r omists at the Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
