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.

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. Dennis Pardue, reporter. ✓ N M jmORIAl fee last
