Mountain School to
Celebrate Birthday
New Buildings Will Be Dedicated With
Impressive Ceremonies Set tor June 23
On June 23 the beginning of the Fiftieth Anniversary
Celebration of the service rendered to the children of Geor
gia in education through the Tallulah Falls School will
swing into action with the dedication of three new build-
ings.
Mrs. W. Bruce Schaefer, mem
ber of the Georgia State Board
of Education, will make the
dedicatory address, "A Golden
Age—A Golden Future,” when
she will express appreciation to
those of the past who made the ;
present possible and challenge I
the members of Georgia Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs to secure ;
the future to meet the needs of
the children of Georgia. Mrs.
Schaefer will be introduced by
Mrs. Mamie Kennedy Taylor,
chairman of the Steering Com
mittee for the Fiftieth Anni
versary Celebration.
The new buildings include;
the H. R. and C. R. Cannon i
School and Administration
Building, the Passie Fenton Ott
ley Library and the Nannie
Woodward Westmoreland Hall.
The H. R. and C. R. Cannon
School and Administration
Building was bequest by Cecil
R. Cannon who was born and
spent most of his life in the
mountains of north Georgia.
Because of his desire to give to
his own people the best, he left ■
to them a great educational j
and benevolent fund to be ad- i
ministered by the Board of
Trustees of Tallulah Falls
School. This school is the united ;
educational project of the Geor- ‘
gia Federation of Women’s i
Clubs.
The Passie Fenton Ottley Li
brary was given by the Young
Matrons’ Circle for Tallulah
Falls School to honor the late
Mrs. John King Ottley. Mrs.
Ottley organized this group to
work exclusively for the ad
vancement of the school and the
children whom it served. The
library is a fitting memorial to
this great leader who gave un
sparingly of her time, her tal
ent, her abounding enthusiasm
and her substance to the end
that the school might serve as |
a beacon, a haven of promise i
and an instrument of high |
service. The school was not to *
be merely a school, but a special ।
kind of ' school that recognizes ■
the need for threefold training ‘
of “the heart, the head and
the hand” to produce educated
Christian citizens.

FISH
By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
THE BIG KILL
TWO factors combine to make the rough fish eradication
program on Lakes Worth and Blackshear a significant
landmark in the history of fish management in Georgia.
The first of these is the fact that the
chemical treatment of an entire water
shed—never before attempted by anyone
—is entirely possible. Secondly, the pro
ject that gizzard shad can be chemically
wiped out with little damage to game fish
populations. _ ,
A total of 900,000 pounds of shad were elimi
nated from both lakes, the Flint river and Mucka
lee and Kinchafonee creeks. Rampant loss of
game fish, an item feared by sportsmen, did not
occur. Post treatment surveys revealed that only
three percent of the total kill was game fish.
There has been a great change in Lakes

Worth and Blackshear. They look strangely placid without mas
sive schools of shad around to muss up the water. Their surface
is no longer without fishermen and their fishermen are no longer
without fish on their stringers.
Both Lake Blackshear and Lake Worth are on the way back. The
reason for it is the elimination of gizzard shad during the Game and
Fish Commission’s eradication program conducted last fall.
The program was suggested after many population studies proved
without doubt that excessive numbers of gizzard shad was responsible
for decline in sport fishing success. There have been other major rough
fish eradication programs that exceeded the acreage of the Blackshear-
Worth project. None of these, however, were as ambitious as tackling
an entire watershed, some 15,000 surface acres of water. The Texas
Game and Fish Department’s treatment of Possum Kingdom lake
amounted to a total of 16,000 acres and Florida’s Lake Apopka, all
30,000 acres of it, were “big” undertakings. But neither job encom
passed a watershed.
Since the Georgia work dealt with the swift Flint River and Mucka
lee and Kinchafoonee creeks, many problems became apparent as the
project progressed. The major concern was evenly distributing the
chemical in the allotted six hours time. To do this, both reservoirs
were divided into working zones and a crew assigned to each zone. Each
crew was responsible for distributing the rotenone in its zone during
the six hour period.
A total of 600 gallons of rotenone was distributed in Lake
Worth and the Flint below the Crisp County Power Dam. It took
3.600 gallons to properly saturate Lake Blackshear and its back
waters.
Since gizzard shad have proven more susceptible to rotenone than
game species, a lighter concentration was used. A solution containing
only .12 parts per million is all that was needed to accomplish the job.
However, where the concentration became heavy, due to current, some
game fish and catfish, carp and gar were eliminated.
Rotenone was chosen for the job to keep from severely disturbing
the game fish populations. It has proven successful in research
projects of similar nature in almost all areas of the country. An
extract from roots, the deadly chemical has been used by natives of
Asia and South America to kill fish for many years. It was not until
1936, though, that scientists discovered the chemical and it became
available for public use.
After receiving complaints from sportsmen in the Albany and
Cordele areas about the decline in fishing, fishery biologists con
ducted population surveys on both Lake Worth and Lake Black
shear. The results revealed an overpopulation of large gizzard
shad, which created a nunhealthy situation for game species.
With the cooperation of the local people, the Game and Fish Com
mission embarked upon a program to eradicate the shad and hoped,
ultimately, to restore fishing in the area to its proper place of promi
nence. The program probably would never have got its feet off the
ground had it not been for the eagerness of local citizens, whose fiery
energy helped obtain permission from landowners and assistance with
the job itself.
Plans are underway to introduce two new species of fish in
both reservoirs. Preliminary investigative research indicate that
both will support white bass, a relatively new fish in the state,
and threadfin shad, a forage fish. Threadfins differ from gizzard
shad in that they seldom grow over six inches long and serve as
food for carniverous fish for a lifetime. Gizzard shad, on the
other hand, may attain a size as large as four or five pounds
and offer no return for their keeping in sport fishing.
In addition to white bass, fishery biologists are confident that
other game fish populations will soon achieve the proper size and
growth and that fishing in Lake Worth and Blackshear will return
to normal.

a lege just to please someone is cer
tain to be a waste of time—both
y for the student, and for the school.
s Despite the fact that the major
p ity of colleges and universities are
j graduating more and more stu
dents every year, and these stu
dents are entering practically
every profession and type of busi-
B ness, ona can still get by today
A side from blows to the ears,
the most common cause of pain
in the ears is some type of bac
terial infection. These infections
generally are divided into two
main groups—those in the ear
canal and those in the middle
ear.
The ear canal is the opening
leading to the eardrum and is
partly visible to a person look
ing directly into the ear. Its
function is to guide sound waves
from the outside to the middle
ear. The canal is lined with
hairs and tiny was-producing
glands on the outer half. The
hairs and was help protect the
middle ear by keeping foreign
substances out of it.
Infections in the ear canal are I
less serious than those in the
middle ear. Ear canal infections,
sometimes called external otitis,
may be due to skin diseases,
fungus infections, boils or pim
ples. Sometimes foreign objects
-such as a bug or dirt—get into
the canal and cause an infec
tion.
These ear canal infections are
more common in summer than
during other seasons. People
swim more In summer and if the
water in which they swim has
infection — causing bacteria in
it, the germs thus have a good
chance to get into the ear. Mois
ture in the ear—an accompani
ment of swimming—also en
courages infection.
Treatment for an ear canal
infection consists of keeping the
ear clean and controlling the
infection.
The middle ear is shaped like
an odd shaped box. It is located
at the inner end of the canal
and is separated from it by the
ear drum. A thin wall of bone
separates the middle ear from
the internal ear.
Sound waves pass from the
canal through the eardrum and
middle ear to the internal ear.
There is an opening in the back
part of the middle ear which |
leads into the mastoid area andl
infections of the middle ear may j
pass into the mastoid cells and .
cause the distressing disease I
mastoiditis. Germs can get into !
brain cells by this same route.
Germs may reach the middle
ear through the Eustachian
tube, a canal that connects the |
back of the nose with the mid
dle ear. Its function is to equal
ize pressure in the middle ear
and the external ear. These
germs sometimes get into the
middle ear when water goes up
the nose during swimming.
Usually, however, the infection
in the middle ear stems from a
cold, inflammation in the si
nuses, an allergy, or enlarged
adenoids—all of which tend to
obstruct the Eustachian tube.
Infection is likelier when the
tube is closed. The infection and
the pus that develops causes
pain because the pressure on the
eardrum is increased. The pres
sure may be so great that the
drum bursts and the infection
spreads to the mastoid bone, the
brain and other parts of the ear.
Extensive damage to the ear
drum or prolonged and fre
quent infections can cause per
manent deafness.
Children are more prone to
serious middle ear infections
than are adults because their
Eustachian tubes are shorter
and straighter than those of
older persons. Furthermore, the
adenoids of children are larger
in proportion to the size of the
tube than are those of adults.
Treatment of infections in the
middle ear consists of giving
antibiotics to control infection,
sedatives to relieve pain and
measures to open up the Eusta
chian tube. Occasionally, the
eardrum must be lanced so that
the infection may drain out.
Doc Mag says:
1. With prompt treatment
with modern drugs, few ear in
fections become serious and
mastoiditis is rare. But prompt
attention is of great importance
because the possibility of grave
consequences from any ear in
fection is always present.
with only a high school education.
The important question of
course, is can one get by as well
(financially sneaking) as he would
be able if lie had the benefit of col
lege training. A high school grad
uate can usually find employment,
in a pay scale fair for high school
graduates—probably the same pay
a college graduate would receive
in the same job. It is not until
the opportunity for advancement
comes along that the value of ad
ditional training and education be
comes recognizable. Looks, person
ality, capabilities, and other things
being equal (depending upon the
■'ob and its requirements) it is usu
ally the college grad who will get
the promotion. The employer be
lieves that the extra training will
give the college graduate the edge
in job performance.
No, one doesn’t need a college
education to get a job. But there
are few fields of endeavor in which
college training is not a valuable
asset where job security and ad
vancement aru concerned.

Safely Campaigns
North Georgia Hi-Y and Tri-
Hi-Y Clubs are conducting one
of their best projects of the year
with a water safety campaign to
help save lives of youth and
adults alike during the swim
ming and boating season.
The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs,
sponsored by the State YMCA,
are endeavoring to bring these
simple rules to the attention of
boys and girls throughout Chat
tooga County:
1. Learn to swim. That’s the
first and most important rule. If
you can’t swim, the only sensible
thing to do is stay out of the
water, and out of small boats as
well.
2. Swim only at properly pro
tected beaches and pools. That
way help can reach you quickly
should you get into trouble.
3. Obey all warning signs.
They are put there for your pro
tection.
4. Don’t show off, and don’t
takes dares. Both these human
failings have caused many acci
dents. Also, know your limita
tions and don’t try to exceed
them.
5. Never dive into unknown
waters. You might strike rocks,-
or become entangled in debris.
Don’t swim where there are
heavy growth of weeds.
6. When holding races, always
swim towards the shore, not
away from it. Then you won’t
find yourself exhausted and far
from land.
7. Never swim alone. Always
have another swimmer with
you.
8. If you are over-heated, cool
off before going into the water.
Also, don’t try strenuous swim
ming after heavy meals.
9. Should you get into trou
ble, keep calm. Cling to an over
turned boat or other floating
objects. Comparatively small
things will support you, if you
keep calm and take advantage
of your body’s natural buoy
ancy.
10. Don’t attempt a rescue in
the water unless you are a
strong swimmer, skilled in life
saving. Stay out of the water if
possible, and try to reach the
person in trouble with a pole,
rope, or clothing. You may be
able to push or throw some
thing buoyant to him.
11. If you are sensitive to cold,
and many people are, swim for
short periods if the water is
chilly. If it is cold, stay out!
12. In electrical storms, avoid
। swimming, open boats, beaches,
fields or trees. Safest places are
houses, automobiles or beneath
steel bridges. If you are trapped
in the open, lie flat on the
ground.
The water safety campaign
sponsored by the Hi-Y and the
Tri-Hi-Y is part of a nation
wide effort .

them slowly.
2. True. Chewing gum or
munching on candy are ways to
beat highway hypnosis, which,
according to the National Safety
Council, is just plain old drowsi
ness. Other ways to “cure” it:
Make sure fresh air enters your
car, vary your speed now and
then, change the position of the
car seat occasionally, and stop
every 100 to 150 miles for a
stretch.
3. True. More than eight hours
behind the wheel and you’re not
as alert as you should be.
4. False. Honking your horn is
the best way in town or on roads
where the average speed is
about 40 m.p.h But on a turn
pike where cars whiz along at a
speed of 60 m.p.h. or more, the
sound of a car horn can get lost
in engine drone and slipstream.
Better way—at night, at least—
to warn the driver ahead that
you’re planning to pass, the
Council says, is to flick your
brights off and on a couple of
times.
5. True. Don’t drive so slowly
you hold up traffic. Excessive
slowness can be almost as bad
as excessive speed.
