WILD RABBITS SPREAD
LIVESTOCK PARASITES
Newest scientific studies just
reported in a leading veterinary
journal show that farmers may
be “kidding themselves” by rest¬
ing or rotating pastures to elim¬
inate parasites—if they don’t
take steps to keep rabbits away
from these pastures during the
resting period.
In a current issue, the Journal
of the American Veterinary
Medical Association says that
wild rabbits carry and spread
various kinds of parasites com¬
mon to certain domestic ani¬
mals In one of a series of stu¬
dies reported, a rabbit-proofed
pasture was found to be free of
infective larvae after a proper
resting period, while another
pasture, rested for the same pe¬
riod but not rabbit-proofed,
caused renewed infection of
large numbers of sheep when
they were turned back on it.
In the works of man as in
those of nature it is the inten¬

j Thompson Hits
Present System
Of Allotments
Acting Gov. M. E. Thompson
lashed out again this week at the
unfairness of alloting federal
funds to the States -- on the
basis of their ability to pay. In
his regular Tuesday broadcast
he announced he was taking
the matter up at the Southern
Governors Conference which he
was attending at Ashville, N. C.
He specially deplored this system
when it came to alloting welfare
funds.
“Georgia has 77,000 of its
elderly citizens on its rolls,” he
declared. “North Carolina has
only 33,000. Virginia has only
14,000. If Georgia had the same
money it now has and only the
same number of people to help
that Virginia has, we would be
able to give our people $70 a
month-
The chief executive pointed
out that the mid southeastern
states, all unable to “match” the
maximum federal figure received
about $38,000,000, collectively, for
their 933,000 aged. On the other
hand, California — with enough
wealth to match any federal
grant — received nearly $44,000,-
000 for the aid of only 704,000
old folks.
“I feel certain the Southern
Governors will join me in this
fight,” Gov. Thompson said in
support of his plea for a federal
“floor” of at least $30 per month
for old age pensions. “We make
up the poorer States which are
being penalized for being poor.”
HOME EC GIRLS ATTEND
MEETIND AND SEE ATLANTA
On Saturday, October 18,.
twenty-two Ec. of the Club Junior girls wentj andj

to the Fourth District meeting i
at Chambley, Ga., where we,
heard many interesting speak¬
ers, among them Mrs. Inez Wal-
ace, State Supervisor of Home
Making Education, Miss Nelle
Norman, Assistant Supervisor,
and Mrs. Janet Barber, State
Advisor.
After lunch, we went to At¬
lanta, where we visited the Cap¬
itol Building, Grant Park and
the Cyclorama Building in Grant
Park, where the world-famous
painting of the Battle of Atlan¬
ta is housed. This painting is
so real that it is said that when
birds get inside the building they
try to alight on the trees. Also
the historical engine “Texas,”
which engaged in the race with
the “General,” is preserved in
the basement of the Cyclorama
Building. The “General” is in
the Union Station in Chattanoo¬
ga.
Just to show you we really saw
Atlanta, here are a few facts we
learned about our Capital City:
The Atlanta System has 88 mu¬
nicipal parks and parkways
ranging in size from the small¬
est of less than an acre, to the
largest, Lakewood Park, which
comprises about 370 acres, with
a valuation, land and buildngs,
of nearly four million dollars.
Atlanta parks are noted for their
natural beauty; so we advise you
to see them if you get a chance.

Meeting of GFBF To
Be Held In Macon
November 12-13
Announcement was made from
headquarters of the Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation in Ma¬
con this week that plans are
nearing completion for the ninth
annual meeting of the GFBF to
be held in the Central City on
November 12 and 13.
H. L. Wingate, president, stat¬
ed that indications point to the
largest attendance in the history
of the organization and he at¬
tributed this unusual interest to
the fact that a new farm pro
gram must be written at the
next session of the 80th Con
gress.
The GFBF leader is recognized
as one of the leading agricultu
ral figures in the nation, and in
his addresses to farm groups
over the state he has consistent¬
ly urged farm people to unite in
order that our new farm pro¬
gram will benefit that group of
people who produce the food and
fiber for a hungry world. Farm¬
ers must have a price support
program in order to insure a
sound agriculture, he points out.
and to avoid a repetition of the
1930’s when farm prices were
disastrous.
Several members of the state’s
congressional delegation will at¬
tend the forthcoming Farm Bu¬
reau convention, Mr. Wingate
said, as well as other national
figures interested in the future
of agriculture.
Mr. Wingate pointed to the
membership goal of 70,000 fam¬
ily memberships which was set
by the board of directors at a
meeting early this year, indicat¬
ing that he is confident this
number will be reached before
the end of the fiscal year, No¬
vember 30. 1
There are several counties in
Georgia that have exceeded their
1946 total, the president said,
and stated that reports reaching
Macon headquarters daily give
strong promise that we will ex¬
ceed the 70,00 goal. Last year
the total membership was 45,922
Dade is the only county in the
Seventh District which has al¬
ready reached its goal of 20 per
cent additional members this
year. The chapter has been
active and there are several a-
wards which we might be able
to compete in.
County and Community Ac¬
tivity & Membership Awards

tion November 12.
1. $50.00 cash award to county

‘Slim’ Burrows Opens
New Restaurant
This week a new eating place
has been opened in Trenton.
Gordon “Slim” Burrows is the
owner and operator of this new
restaurant to be known as The
Busy Bee.
A six-foot addition was built
on the south end of The Times
Building. Inside has been pain¬
ted white with red trimmings.
On the right side of the eitrance
door are four tables coved with
white cloths and a glass on top
of this. On the left is a long
counter with fourteen stools
covered in red leather. .
Behind the counter is all the
new and shining equipment
needed; a steam table, sandwich
toasters, a hamburger and steak
grill and a large coffee urn.
“Slim” will specialize in extra
fine coffee. Added to this gleam¬
ing short order equipment, in
the rear is a large ice-box and
a large coal range.
To help him, “Slim” has on his
staff three very efficient wait¬
resses, Virginia Blevins, Wanda
Brandon and Irene Cockran
Dawkins.
The Busy Bee also has a Coca-
Cola dispenser, sells cigars, ci¬
garettes and candy. It is open
from 5:30 in the morning until
10:30 at night.
This is a most attractive place
and we wish Slim every success
in his new venture.
CONFERENCE OF STATE AND
FEDERAL AGENCIES TO BE
TO BE HELD IN ATLANTA
Taking notice of the many
millions of dollars lost to Geor¬
gia’s economy by uncontrolled
wild fires on forest lands, Gov.
Thompson, at the request of the
Georgia Forestry Association,
has called a state-wide confer¬
ence of federal and state agen¬
cies and civic and industrial
leaders to take decisive action
on November 12 at the Ansley
Hotel in Atlanta.
Plans for the organization of
a “Keep Georgia Green” pro¬
gram will be outlined at this
meeting, which state leaders
predict will be the greatest for¬
estry meeting ever held in Geor¬
gia. These plans include an in¬
tensive, cooperative, educational
forest fire prevention campaign
which will reach right down to
the tree roots in every county
in the state.
“The important part our for¬
ests played in the recent world
conflict, and the splendid con¬
tribution they are now making
In our peace-time economy,”
Governor Thompson said in his
letter of invitation to federal and
state agencies and civic and in¬
industrial leaders, “have focused
the attention of all thinking
Georgians on the necessity of
supporting a state-wide pro¬
gram, the purpose of which
would £>e to perpetuate and fur¬
ther develop this great renewa¬
ble natural resource ”
“At this meeting,” the Gov¬
ernor explained, “we will launch
what will be known as a ‘Keep
Georgia Green’ campaign, the
chief aims of which will be to
acquaint every Georgian with
the importance of preventing
forest fires and with the neces¬
sity of perpetuating a continu¬
ing crop of what is probably
Georgia’s greatest heritage—its
vast forests of long-leaf, slash,
and other pines and valuable
hardwoods.”
Kirk Sutlive, Savannah, Pres¬
ident of the Georgia Forestry
Association, has been named as
temporary chairman of the
“Keep Georgia Green” organi¬
zation meeting.
In initiating the “Keep Geor¬
gia Green” program, Georgia
joins a movement which started
in the State of Washington and
has spread from ocean to ocean
and from Oregon in the extreme
northwest to Florida in the ex¬
treme southeast.
The following Dade countians
have been invited by the Gov¬
ernor to attend this meeting,
a,nd others may be added later:

Roy Moore, Ed Bible, Col. D. E.
