To Come to Cleveland

The White County Board of
Education voted Tuesday that
grades 10, 11 and 12 of Nacoochee
High School bejconsolidated with
the White Comity School at
Cleveland.
A motion was made and passed
that pupils in the Robertstown
urea in the grades from 1 through
9 go to Nacoochee School. How¬
ever, it is reliably reported that
the pupils from that area will be
privileged to continue to come to
Cleveland School if the pupile’
transportation is paid, which has
been done in the past,
It is likely that a call meeting
will be called before Aug. 24 to
discuss some vital unfinished busi¬
ness.
No decision was made on hold¬
ing a bond election to construct a
■school building in the Nacoochee
area.
With the orde.t \ot consolidating
the 10 11 and 12 grades of Na¬
,
coochee High School that will
automatically eliminated the
three extra high school teachers
that three members voted in July
above the ADA law.
Now it is hoped that harminoy
should pevail and let the schools
open in peace.

It is said everything went ship¬
shape with Noah and his Ark until
it sprung a leak. After being in¬
spected it was found the leak was
a very small hole. So Noah got a
dog to put his nose in the hole. The
dog kept his nose in the hole two
days, then it got so cold he had to
take it out. That is the reason a
dog’s nose is always cold. So next
Noah got his wife to put her foot
over the hole. She kept it there for
three days. It got so cold she had
to take it off. That’s the reason
women’s feet are always cold.
Then Noah decided to sit on the
hole. He did so for two days and it
got so cold he had to get off. That
is why a man always puts his back
to the fire first when he comes in
out of the cold.

BEATING THE
“SUMMER SLUMP”
An executive of a big department
store recently had something to say
about how retailers can move goods,
particularly during the so-called “sum¬
mer slump”. He put it in a jingle:
“Early to bed;
“Early to rise;
“Work like hell;
“And advertise.”
Then he dealt with newspapers as
an circulation advertising media: “Newspaper
stays up in the summer.
There is no appreciable change in the
number of papers distributed, and this
means that our advertising will get
eective, full readership because and may even be more
laxed and have people are more re¬
more time to read.”
No matter what the season—and in
spite advertising of the emergence of newer forms
of media—newspapers re¬
main a prime vehicle for interesting
people suading in goods and services and per¬
them to buy. You can’t beat
the written word.
WATER SAFETY
Visitation is steadily increasing on
Lake Sidney Lanier during the year
1959. The total visitation for the first
six months of 1959 on Lake Lanier
was 1,895,000 persons. Therefore, you
can see that the visitation for the
year 1959 should reach a visitation
of 3 to 5 million.
Due to the large increase in visita¬
tion, every safety precaution should
be taken in order to make Lake La¬
nier the most enjoyable recreational
spot in Georgia. Boating, fishing,
swimming and skiing have greatly
increased throughout the reservoir.
Listed below are a number of the
Corps garding of Engineers’ regulations re¬
safety of the various activi¬
ties which should be complied with to
the fullest extent.
“1. Swimming and bathing are not
permitted in regular boat channels,
nor more than 150 feet from shore,
nor within 100 feet of launching
ramps or boat dock areas. Swimming
activities should be confined to desig¬
nated and supervised swimming beach
areas, or in other areas under the
direct supervision of qualified life
guards.
“2. No motor-driven boat shall be
operated within a buoyed swimming
area.
“3. No motor-driven boat shall be
operated at a speed greater than six
(6) miles an hour when in harbor or
passing under bridges, or within 100
feet of shore, launching ramp, dock,
mooring area, occupied boat, or
buoyed fishing ground or swimming
area.
“4. Every boat shall be provided
with an efficient life preserver for
each occupant. No boat shall be op¬
erated at night without display of
one white light visible around the
horizon.
“5. Skiing shall not be permitted
within the close proximity of con¬
cessionaire sites, ramps, swimming
within areas, other congested areas, nor
narrow coves.”
Please abide by the above safety
regulations. Remember . . . play it
safe now, and you won’t be sorry
later. BE WATER WISE—SAVE
LIVES.

SEARS’ PAPER ADS
TOTAL 48 MILLION
CHICAGO—(AP)—Sears, Co. Roebuck
& invested a record $48,650,000
in newspaper advertising space in
1958, the firm reported Monday.
The figure is more than two mil¬
lion dollars greater than the 1957
amount, Edward Gudeman, vice presi¬
dent in charge of merchandising, said.
More than 950 daily and weekly
newspapers shared in the 1958 ex¬

WALK1NG D[STILLERY
SAPPORO, Japan — (UPI) — With
one Japanese it wasn’t something her
drank that made him drunk. It was
distillery. everything he ate. He was a walking
The patient, identified by Japanese
authorities only as Mr. “O,” was a 46
year'-old farm association executive
from' Hokkaido who complained of
chronic drunkenness though he didn’t
drink.
Doctors found O’s stomach working
away like a high-powered Tennessee
mountain still. It contained a type of
extremely quick-acting yeast and
transformed much that O ate into al¬
cohol.
“It isn’t a sickness that just anyone
would be subject to,” said Dr. Shuichi
Sasaki of Hokkaido University. “In
fact,” I have never heard of a compar¬
able case.”
O first noticed his productive ca¬
pacities some 20 years ago. After ev¬
ery meal his face would turn red and
his breath would start smelling like a
bottle of sake.
It was embarrassing. But O didn't
worry too much about it until last
year. Then things got so bad he
couldn’t walk a straight line after
supper,
For five months physicians treated
him _ with an antibiotic known at tri
comycine and 0 finally got on the

In the six years of the present ad¬
ministration, the Department of Agri¬
culture has spent more than the com¬
bined totals of all past administrations
since the department was established
97 years ago.
From 1862 through the Truman ad¬
ministration the total spending was
$27.6 billion. The June 30 reckoning
is expected to show a six-year total of
about. $31 billion. The expenditures
for 1959 are estimated at $6.9 billion.
In 1951 total spending on agriculture
was $650 million, a tenth as much.
Losses on the farm support opera¬
tions alone were more than a billion
dollars. This was more than half the
total for the 20 years of F.D.R. and
Truman.
Y"et, in fairness it must be said that
it was legislation adopted in earlier
years which made inevitable the great
costs of today. The farmer, paid not
to plane one crop, went heavily into
another. The Eisenhower administra¬
tion is reaping a harvest not entirely
of its own planting. But it must bear
a substantial share of the blame.
ing Meanwhile, the small farmer is be¬
wrung out, and the big farmers,
and all the taxpayers, are bewitched,
bedeviled and bewildered. We can use
some of the nation’s best brains in
Washington.—Ralph Constitution. _ McGill in Atlanta
THE COURT DECISION
IT PATENTLY UNJUST
The Editors: In Judge Hooper’s de¬
segregation order he' refers to tha
U. S. Supreme Courts decision as “the
law of the land. I assume he means by
“the land” the 49 states now compris¬
ing the Union.
After the recent admission of tha
state of Alaska to the Union it was
found that it had been admitted with
a constitutional provision that it w T as
to have complete control of its schools
“forever.’ After further investigation
it was found that several other states
had identical clauses in their constitu¬
tions. All of these states are therefora
exempt from the provisions of the Su¬
preme Court’s desegregation order. So
this decision cannot correctly be called
the law of the land,” because it ap¬
plies to only part of the land, chiefly
