Dangerous Waters
A YEAR or so ago we were reading
of fish kills along the lower
Mississippi.
Investigation pointed to pesti¬
cides washed down from fields
far, far away.
There are, of course, industrial
and civic wastes added to these
pesticides to make our water a
frightening sort of brew.
Now Washington has reported
via the Interior Department that
oysters, crabs, shrimp and other
forms of salt water life are very
susceptible to small amounts of
pesticides.
In other words, we’re now ex¬
tending our bad habits and pol¬
luting tidal waters.
The report found all sorts of fish
were storing poisons. The report
also said pesticides had stunted
the growth of oyster shells. Some
have seriously reduced plankton
productivity, and it is upon plank¬
ton that all forms of sea life de¬
pend.
Pollution? There is no end to
it, once it has begun. We pollute
our waters which is unhealthy
enough, but it goes a step farther
with our waters polluting and cut¬
ting down upon the production of
our food.
. There is only one thing to do,
and that is cut down on pollution
at its source. — Editorial in The
Atlanta Jaumal.

White County
A Health Resort?
By ROSS CUTTING
Maybe we have undiscovered
blessings in this County Wonder¬
ful. The following happenings to
visitors coming here might indicate
this.
At three different times during
the past two years guests from
Florida staying at our rental cot¬
tage for a week or two have
brought along medicines they were
supposed to take but found they
didn’t need them didn’t take
them. They felt improved in
health after being here but a
few days. And now a somewhat
startling report comes from our
latest guest.
Rev. Edward Sprayberry is here
for the winter while he attends
Truett-McConnell College. Rev.
Spraybrry’s vision is so impaired
that he uses the Braille Alphabet
for the blind and he has the
familiar red and white cane used
by the blind persons. He can see a
little possibly ten per cent of
normal vision,
Rev. Sprayberry noticed that he
could see a little better each time
he came up to White County from
College Park, Georgia. And now
that he will be staying here for
at least eight months we’re going
to watch his progress to see if
we’ll have something new to tell
the USA about White County.
Just yesterday Rev. Sprayberry
walked from our cottage over to
my shop, unescorted and without
his cane. He avoided obstacles in
the path, walked around the some¬
what cluttered shop, and talked
about objects he could see around
the shop while standing in one
spot.
We always felt that White Coun¬
ty is something special but — do
we have miracles here — as \yell
as broilers?

Hungarians Plan
Nudist Spot
As Tourist Lure
BUDAPEST (AP) — Communist
Hungary is thinking of setting up
a nudist camp and gambling casino
for western tourists only, as a way
to lure more visitors and earn more
hard currency.
Newsmen have been told the
government is considering a re¬
quest by the European Nudists’
Union to make a lakeside camp
at Vonyarcvashegy available to the
sunbathers.
Established 189 t
House Panel Votes
Curb on Billboards
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House Public Works Committee,
with administration officials in
the wings, approved Tuesday a
bill that would ban billboards on
much of the nation’s highway sys¬
tem,
The bill, produced after strenous
White House prodding and night
and early morning committee ses
sions, closely paraleis one passed
last week by the Senate.
It would bar all billboards clo¬
ser than 660 feet to interstate and
primary roads, except in commer¬
cial areas, and require junkyards
within 1,000 feet of the roadway
to be either screened or removed.
In commercial areas, the secretary
of commerce would be empowered
to set standards covering the size
and number of signs.
The federal government would
have to pay 75 per cent of the
cost of compensating billboard
owners.
FFA Has
First Meeting
The 'first FFA meeting was held
September 16 at White County
High School. Officers for the 1965-
66 school year were in charge of
the meeting.
The chapter voted to send Jerry
Bentley as its delegate to the
National Convention in Kansas City
next month. Bill Usher, treasurer
of the chapter, won a trip to the
Convention by placing third in the
State Electrification Contest.
Thirty-nine boys were initiated
into the White County High
School FFA Chapter on Wednes¬
day night as Greenhands. This is
the first of four degrees of mem
bership in the Future Farmers of
America. All of these boys are
enrolled in vocational agriculture
under Mr. Horace Fitzpatrick, and
have satisfactorily supervised prac¬
tice programs in operation.
Jerry Bentley, president of the
local FFA Chapter, reminded the
new members that “the first farmer
was the first man, and all his¬
toric nobility rests upon the use
of the land.”
Boys received into this, the
largest farm boy organization in
the world, are future farmers of
America.
The FFA and FHA are planning
trip to the Southeastern Fair
on October 3.
