Those Rattlers Any
Quitman, Jan. 30—A word of caution
to south Georgia bird hunters. "Don’t
forget about dtamoniback rattlesnake
just because it’s cold weather."
This auvice eoutes from J. R. (Buck)
Ramsey, a Brooke County former, horse'
trader and hunter.
Ramsey, who's providing the rental
horses for the Continental Field Trials at
the Dixie Dentation which adjoins his
farm, says you can't forget about snakes
just because the ground is frozen.
"Last year we killed three big rattlers
I mean sure enough granddaddies— on
the coldest day of the year. You know I
believe those snakes come out of their
holes to sun even if the ground is frozen,

bit when it’s below freezin’ but that’s

CAR OWNER NOT
DRIVING BUT LIABLE
By the Atlanta Bar Association and
the Lawyers Club of Atlanta
Peter Pumpernickel left his auto¬
mobile at a filling station to be
washed. When the car was ready the
filling station owner had one of his
attendants drive it over to Peter’s
house, as Peter had requested. On the
way the attendant ran a red light and
severely injured a passenger in an¬
other car, who sued Peter.
Despite Peter’s contention that he
could not be liable because the per¬
son driving his car when the collision
occurred was neither a member of his
family nor his agent, the suit against
him for $25,000 was sustained.
A Georgia law passed in 1955 pro¬
vides that every owner of a motor
vehicle is responsible for injury tq
persons or property resulting from
negligence in the operation of the au¬
tomobile if the automobile is being
used or operated for the benefit of
the owner. While it is true that the
station attendant was not Peter’s
agent, nevertheless the automobile
was being used as desired by Peter
and was thus being used for his bene¬
fit.—The Atlanta Journal,

General Carlos P. Romulus of the

with our unshackled minds. We sit

at silly antics, great actors wasting
their talents on inane stunts, and
fine singers mouthing musical
nothings. Books collect dust, un¬
read, on our shelves. Thoughts go
unthought. Deeds go undone. What
availeth it if our minds are un¬
shackled—if they disintegrate from
luck of use?

Take Care
of Your Eyes
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
Your eyes are a precious poses
sion. Nature— as if acutely aware
of this fact—has provided these or¬
gans of sight with several means
of protection. They are set back in
a bony socket, making them less
open to attack. They are constantly
swept out by blinking of the lids, by
moisture and tears.
But, despite nature’s precautions,
the eyes are injured sometimes.
One of the commonest types of in¬
jury occours when something gets
into the eyes. These foreign sub¬
stances can injure the cornea—the
clear, outer covering of the eye—by
lodging in it or by scraping it. The
latter occurs when the foreign ob¬
ject sticks to the under side of the
lid. It scrapes the cornea as the lid
is blinked.
When either of these things hap¬
pens, the eyes begin to blink
furiously and water. Usually this
forces the object away from the
front of the eye and into the cor¬
ners where it can be easily re¬
moved.
But, if this doesn’t happen, you
should render first aid. Hold the
lids—the upper and the lower—a
part while you flush the eye with
water. You can do this by dipping
your face in a pan or bucket of
water—much as you do when bob¬
bing for an aple. Water is the best
thing to use. You shouldn’t use any
medication to flush out the eye.
If you Can’t dislodge the foreign
material in this way, take a wad
of cotton or folded cloth and place it
over the closed lid of the affected
eye and hold or tape it firmly in
place. Then go immediately to your
doctor,
Usually the doctor can remove
the object after dropping an anes¬
thetic into the eye to stop the blink¬
ing, watering and pain.
If the eye is serousiy injured, he
can refer the pateint to an ophal
in the treatment of the eyes,
mologist, a physician specializing
Doc Mag Says:
1. Sight is perhaps the most valu¬
able of the five senses. While it is
true that surgeons today are able
to replace the cornea of the eye
with a cornea donated for that pur¬
pose by a person who has just died,
it is much better to protect and take
care of the eyes you have. The eyes
include the corneas and the other
more vital parts behind them.
2. If you get something in your
eye and simple irrigation with
water doesn’t immediately remove
the object and clear your vision
and relieve the pain—then you
should seek help from your doctor.
3. Wear protective lenses over
your eyes when needed. For ins¬
tance, if you work where chemi¬
cals, strong light rays or bits of
metal are set free in the air, you
should protect your eyes. Occu¬
pations in which one is exposed to
chemical fumes, battery acids or
where arc welding or the grinding
of metals, glass or stone is done
to present these hazards.
4. Since accidental breaking of
lenses worn by children with eye
defects is a common cause of eve
injury in youngsters, small fry
shauid wear the shatter-proof tme
of lenses.

The Seventh Army in Europe re¬
cently completed a project that
should be of interest to educators
and to students who are undecided
about going to college.
Many hundreds of officers in the
technical services—doctors, engi¬
neers, signalmen, quartermasters,
and so forth—were evaluated to de¬
termine their leadership abilities,
that is .their ability to manage im¬
portant operations and to inspire
subordinates.
It was found that there was a
serious breakdown in leadership a
mong officers in the grades of ma¬
jor and captain. Only 25 percent of
the officers in these grades were
college educated, while lieutenants,
lieutenant-colonels, and colonels
were from 80 to 98 per cent college
educated.
The captains and majors who
were found to be unsatisfactory had
in general, been promoted during
the stress of World War II and the
Korean campaign. They had per¬
formed well in combat and else¬
where. They knew their stuff but
were unable, because of lack of edu¬
cation, to hold down important jobs.
“Lack of self-expression was their
insurmountable handicap,” states
the Army-Navy-Air Force Register.
“They were loyal. They had drive,
they had a technical knowledge.
But when they sat down to write,
the words wouldn’t flow. They
couldn t command men because
they couldn’t command the lan¬
guage. Being unfit for promotion,
they could not be retained.”
