BY COOPER ETHERIDGE
DID YOU KNOW that the last
two presidents of the Houston
County Farm Bureau live in other
counties? Ralph Tabor, president
now, lives in Peach county, and
Joe Gayle, former president, lives
m Macon county. The trick is that
they farm in Houston county, too.
CHANGING TIMES: Colored
man driving farm wagon, looking
in Perry in vain for a parking
place, or a hitching post, which
he needed badly. A generation ago
he could have found a hitching
post and parking place and a gro
cery business to sell him supplies
on a credit until his crop came in.
WANTA BET? Wells Fargo, ar
mored car outfit which brings cash
money to the banks in this area,
can be seen on our streets every
now and then. Bet you two to one
that the driver is usually called
‘Jim Hardy” by local humorists.
NICE SIDEWALKS: It is our
guess that the hundreds of school
children who walk from the new
sections on the Southeastern side
of the city would like to say
“thank you” to the city for those
nice, new sidewalks. They are a
lot safer all the time, and drier
on wet days, than when they had
to pick their way along the shoul
ders on the street. Looks mighty
good down that way on Evergreen
Street and Duncan Avenue, too.
NOW WE’VE HEARD Every
thing Dept.: Bill Dodds, Perry far
mer who came down here from In
diana, submitted the following
piece from the Sullivan, Ind.,
Daily Times:
George E. Smith says the corn
that “listens” to strains of classics,
marches and love songs has grown
faster than an adjacent plot de
prived of melody.
On one field he has poles along
the side from which hang loud
speakers. The other music-depriv
ed field was planted under identi
cal controlled conditions.
The plot with its ears tuned to
the music could yield as much as
22 per cent more corn than the
other plot.
“The soil which had the music
was two degrees warmer than the
soil which did not have the mu
sic,” he said. He had placed ther
mometers in the ground to see the
effect on soil.
His experiment has also shown
that the corn exposed to music
came up 12 hours before the other
corn, had better stands and was
ahead in silking by three days.
We supposed they play “Music
to grow corn by.”
Reminder Issued
On Immunization
During the current year the
Houston County Health Depart
ment through the Houston Home
Journal has on several occasions
appealed to the parents and
guardians of children, especially
under 10 years of age, to see that
they receive their necessary im
munizations for certain communi
cable diseases.
The services can be obtained
either from the family physician
or if preferred the Health Depart
ment.
Since the fall and winter months
are considered the season in which
diphtheria is most prevalent, it
cannot be stressed too strongly the
importance of having all children
protected from this very danger
ous disease. The injurious effect
on the heart and the nervous sys
tem can make diphtheria a crip
pling malady which may incapaci
tate the individual to some degree
for the remainder of life.
Three injections are necessary
for this protection and these are
spaced preferably at one month
intervals (not over four months)
to be followed by booster injec
tions at intervals of 12 to 18
months.
Time is running out for those
children not having been immun
ized. No one can afford to delay
this important phase of preven
tive medicine.

Song Without End
Sponsored by PTA
At Muse Theatre
The story of Franz Liszt will be
shown at the Muse Theatre for
one day only, Wednesday, October
11, at regular prices.
Sponsored by the Fine Arts
Committee of the Perry PTA, with
the cooperation of the manage
ment of Muse Theatre, the show
will begin at 4 p. m. and run con
tinuously.
Members of the Fine Arts Com
mittee express the hope that ev
eryone will support this film as
the response will determine whe
ther or not this type picture will
be shown here in the future.
The ‘Hungarian Wonder Child”
as Liszt was called, began his pub
lic career at the age of nine. His
father, an accomplished musician,
taught him the theory of music
and to play the piano. But the
strange rhythms, and wierd sweet
melodies of his compositions he
owed to the wandering gypsy
bands of his childhood home in
Western Hungary.
At the age of 12, his playing
so moved the great Beethoven
that, lifted from his customary re
serve, he took the child in his
arms and kissed him. At 14 years
of age, Liszt composed a success
ful operetta and from this time on
his compositions were eagerly re
ceived.
Liszt’s life was a long series of
artistic triumphs. As a concert pi
anist, he has perhaps never been
excelled. It is said that he show
ed the world how to perform feats
in piano playing which before his
time had been considered impos
sible.
He became a great teacher,
counting amnog his pupils many
of the greatest musicians of the
19th century. The kindness and
generosity of Liszt have become
proverbial as has also his appre
ciation for struggling young ar
tists. Among many whom he be
friended were Chopin, Schumann
and Wagner. The latter declared
Liszt was “One who first gave me
faith in my work.”
Along with a warm heart and
nobility of character went all the
eccentricities of a temperamental
genius. At the age of 50, with
drawing from the gay and bril
i liant circle in which he had moved,
he received minor “Orders” in the
Roman Catholic Church and was
: afterwards known as Abbe. He
died in 1886 at Bayreuth, Bavaria,
where, as was his custom each
summer, he was superintending
the production of Wagner’s operas.

Civitans Discuss
Retarded Children
Members of Perry Civitan Club
heard Mrs. Harold Fast tell of the
need for additional classes for ex
ceptional children in Houston
County, at the monthly dinner
meeting last Thursday night at
the New Perry Hotel.
Mrs. Fast explained that an ex
ceptional child is one who is an
exception to a normal child.
“He may be limited mentally
and/or physically,” she said, “or
he may be exceptionally bright.
Our concern is with the mentally
retarded, both trainable and edu
calable in the county. We have two
classes for the cducatablc—one at
Miller School in Warner Robins
and one at the Perry Elementary
School. Two more classes are need
ed now she said, because of the
chronological age span and in ad
dition a vocational class is needed
for older children.
President Frank Darity pledged
the support of the Perry Civitans
to the program.
During the business session, the
club accepted an invitation from
the Perry Club Council to join
their organization; voted to adopt
a Citizen of the Year Award to be
presented to some local person
and considered several other pro
jects.
Charles Ard, president and H.
L. Stokes, chaplain, of the Warner
Robins Civitans and Fred Seago
of Perry were welcomed as guests.

Helping Retarded Children Is Major
Pari of UGF Campaign in Houston
Helping the retarded children of
our county develop their abilities
so that they too may enjoy a por
tion of the life we more fortunate
take for granted, is the important
undertaking of the Houston Coun
ty Association for Exceptional
Children, affiliated service of the
UGF.
From a modest beginning in
1957, this organization founded
the first school for severely men
tally retarded children with an en
rollment of five pupils. It was lo
cated in the Second Baptist
Church, Warner Robins, with the
church furnishing all facilities.
This year the trainable class
alone has 17 children, under the
supervision of a specially trained
director, Mrs. S. W. Weatherford
and two assistants; Mrs. Cralton
C. Pierce of Perry and Mrs. Mur
ray Hill of Warner Robins. Your
United Appeal has made possible
the school presently located at
112 Iverness Avenue in Warner
Robins.
These severely mentally retard
ed or trainable children are not
able to qualify for the educatable
class in the county school system.
Their ages range from 6 to 18
years and their IQ’s from 30-50.
These children have speech han
dicaps and poor coordination and
some are unable to care for them
selves. Transportation is also fur
nished as children come both from
Perry and Warner Robins.
The purpose of the school is to
develop the abilities of these chil
dren as much as possible, with
curriculum aimed at social adjust
ment. There are a few who are
beginning to read and write.
In the interest of all retarded
children, the Association provides
funds for the special education of
the teachers needed for Educable
Children classes in the County
School system. At present the Per
ry Educable Class enrollment is
12 while in Warner Robins the
enrollment is 15.
No one would deny these chil
dren the opportunity of training.
Yet, the school is at its maximum
capacity. It needs larger quarters,
another specially trained teacher
and operating funds. Its volunteer
leaders are aware that there are
additional children throughout the
county that should be in these
classes, and as their parents real
ize the opportunity offered by the
school, they will want to enroll
their children. These children
must not be denied this training

IS FARM FIREPROOF?
Don’t gamble that your farm is
fireproof! How about those oily
rags in the tractor shed? Or those
old clothes and papers and other
trash in the attic? Or that pesky
oil stove that didn’t work right
last winter? One tiny, stray spark
and you’re out of business. Don’t
give fire a place to start.
