Teacher Makes Toys
To Cheer Children.
Who Are Hospitalized
The little Chattooga County boy was about to have a
tonsillectomy.
And he didn’t like the idea of getting on that cart and
being rolled down the hall to the operating room. In fact,
ho inc-f urnm’f 4- J 44-
ne just wasn t going to do it.
Then his doctor had an idea.
Excusing himself for a minute,
he returned with a sock puppet.
After showing the lad how it
worked, he let the boy put it on
his own hand.
In a minute, the boy said,
“Let’s go.”
This is just one example of
how the toys made by Mrs. John
D. Taylor and some homemaking
girls have helped smooth the
hospital stay of Chattooga
County youngsters.
It all began over a year ago.
“While I was hospitalized
myself,” Mrs. Taylor says, “I
heard the nurses talking about
the fact that the children had
nothing with which to keep

mined to do something about it.”
And “do something about it”
she did.
Every month, she presents to
the hospital some seven or eight
stuffed animals, puppets and rag
dolls. The children not only get
to enjoy the toys while they are
hospitalized, but they also get to
take them home.
“All these things are wash
able,” points out Mr. Taylor.
“They are stuffed either with
nylon yarn, given me by Geor
gia Rug Mill, or nylon hose,
given by friends, and they wash
like a breeze.”

During the school months,
home making girls helped Mrs.
Taylor with the work, but since
then she has done the sewing.
Mrs. Taylor teaches English
nine months out of the year at
Summerville High School and
has a family—two teen-age sons
and a husband. But she’s deter

for this project.

Hettie Jane Dunaway Gardens, often called Georgia’s “hanging
gardens,” debuts the Southern Theatre Festival this summer. In con
junction with the State’s Centennial activities the Festival, presenting
some of New York’s finest actors, will begin June 12 through September
14, featuring plays about the South or written by Southern authors.
The Gardens, softly hinting a Japanese atmosphere, are bulging:
with terraces of flowers, pools and rippling brooks. Only one hour from
metropolitan Atlanta, they are located 8 miles from Newnan on the

GI INSURANCE
HOLDERS ADVISED
TO PLAN FUTURE
Since many Georgia World
War II veterans have been
carrying term GI life insurance
for 15 years or more, they should
give serious thought to planning
their insurance futures before
the spiraling cost of term insur
ance becomes prohibitive.
This word of caution was
voiced today by A. W. Tate,
Manager, Veterans Administra
tion Regional Office, Atlanta,
Georgia, in reminding veterans
who are counting on life-time
protection from their GI policies
that the premiums on term in
surance increase as they grow
older.
Term insurance affords maxi
mum protection at minimum
cost during the early post-serv-
ice years needed to establish a
home and a budget designed for
building the future. However,
term insurance is seldom suit
able for protection in a policy
holder’s advanced age, Mr. Tate
pointed out.
"Term premiums increase
every five years, not too badly
in the early years, but rapidly in
the advanced years,” he said.
“A SIO,OOO term policy at age 40
carries a gross annual premium
of only $lO2, but at age 65 it
jumps to $476.40 annually—and
to $741.60 at age 70.”
Mr. Tate said the way out is
conversion of all or part of the
term policy to any of the per
manent-type plans available,
where premium rates remain
the same from year to year.
In addition, permanent insur
ance has a cash surrender, ex
tended insurance, paid up insur
ance and loan value. Term in
surance has none of these, he
explained.

HEALTH/lj^l
By C. A. DEAN, M.D.
MEDITORIAL: “What consti
tutes a thorough physical examin
ation?” a reader asked recently.
There are many aspects to con
sider in an answer.
First and foremost is the con
sideration of any complaints or
Symptoms. Thus a history is the
first step. A few questions such
as changes in bowel habits, di
gestion, appetite, weight and
breathing can give the doctor a
great deal of information.
If any area is doubtful, he can
concentrate on it. If the patient
has no complaints, the rest of the
examination can be simplified. He
proceeds with a routine examina
tion which includes the skin
(tumors, moles, rashes, etc.),
ears, nose and throat, neck
(swollen glands, abnormal thy
roid gland), heart, lungs, blood
pressure, abdomen (tumors, en
larged organs such as the liver,
spleen, kidneys), genitalia (her
nias, tumors, etc.), extremities
(varicose veins, poor circulation,
even the condition of the nails),
also height, weight and tempera
ture (if indicated).
A urine examination is simple
and important, even more im
portant than a blood count. An
annual chest X-ray is advisable.
Cancer check-ups in women should
be part of a routine examination.
In men the cancer check-up con
sists of the complete physical I
have just prescribed plus a rectal
(prostate) examination. Since
lung cancer is much more com
mon in men, a chest X-ray is
mandatory.
If during this routine examina
tion there are any suspicious
signs, further tests and examina
tions are in order. These may
include X-rays, blood tests, fluo
roscopy, basal metabolism tests
and electro-cardiograms, which
may be obtained periodically.
