Bethany Home To
Open Millen
Branch For Men
Pictured above are views of build- '
ings which have been purchased by
Bethany Home, a home for old ladies
located at Vidalia. This property,
the former Thompson Hospital of
Millen is to be opened soon by this
' enovelent institution as a branch
Home for Men, to be operated under
the present Board of Trustees. Beth
any Home officials negotiated this
recent purchase following an offer
by an unnamed person to give $lO,-
000 toward the purchase of the prop
erty which was bought at a sacri
fice price of $20,000. This includes
room furnishings and much of the
other equipment and accessories
owned by the hospital.
The Bethany Home has for many
years cared for aged women and at
< ne time took men under its benevo
lent care, which practice was aban
doned during the difficult war years.
Recognizing the great need for a simi
lar Home for Men to that being ope
rated for elderly ladies in Vidalia,
the Trustees are glad to announce
this extension of their services of
fered.
Bethany Home has been open to
women of all religious beliefs regard
less of their place of residence, with
only one requirment needed to be
met: They must be in need of a
home. Reasons for such need vary
with the applicants. Those financial
ly able to pay for their care are ex-

i given first consideration when a va
cancy is to be filled. These same
policies will apply to Bethany Home
- ror Men at Millen.
' Bethany Home is operated by the :
Primitive Baptists of Georgia and j
1 neighboring states; however, in fol
i lowing the strictly Christian rule of [
I the institution, the present residents ।
■ of the Vidalia Home for Women are ;
j made up of less than 15% of those '
' holding to the Primitive Baptist |
Faith.
I The Milien business men, churches,
; and civc organizations have joined
■ in giving a hearty welcome to this I
; institution in their town.
I !
i Officials of the Home urge the)
| people of Georgia to cooperate with
। this progressive move to extend serv
ices for elderly people of Georgia
i and are especially urged to give their
j liberal financial support to the be
i novelent corporation at this time of
; greater needs in the face of this i
I added responsibility. A recent ex- |
pansion project in addition of a new .

; has already caused some drain on I
I the inaequate reserves of the Home.,
Applications for admission should

Moblie Testing Unit
To Be Put Into
Immediate Use
| The Georgia Department of Pub
lic Health, in its war against disease,
has adopted the motorized methods
of a modern army. The Department
; now boasts a huge mobile health
testing unit designed to travel
throughout the State and give tests
for five different diseases and physi
cal abnormalities at the rate of 100
persons per hour.
Dr. T. F. Sellers, State Health De
partment Director, announced the
mlobile testing unit will be put into
immediate service in cooperation
with county health departments con
! ducting mass health surveys, and for
testing the personnel of large in-
I dustrial plants. He said the new unit
|is equipped for giving tests tor tu
berculosis, heart abnormalities, syph
j ilis. diabetes, and anemia.
| iM. J. Hickey State Health Depart
! ment Chief X-ray Technican who de
| signed the trailer-tractor combina
■ tion, said the new equipment is the
1 only known “self-contained” unit of
I its kind in this country. He explained
the unit has its own electric power
' plant and darkroom in addition to
| sections for registration, x-ray, and
serologic study.
The schedule for the new mobile
unit has already been filled for the
next several months, Health Depart
ment officials revealed.

Cotton Supply Low,
Farmers Are Warned
’ As They Enter ’sl
s
t E. C. Westbrook, Extension Service
a agronomist, urged farmers as they
■1 entered 1951 to produce as much cot
s ton as they can this year. “The sup
_ ply is dangerously low,” he said.
0 Farmers are advised to go all out
for larger per-acre yields, however,
_ rather than to increase acreage. Mr.
e Westbrook does believe, though, that
j there will be an increase this year
i over the 1950 acreage. A limiting
. actor in increased acreage will be
r । a shortage of labor, he believes. On
- i the other hand, a factor contributing
t! 'o more cotton acres in ’sl is that
- cold weather in November killed a
- large percentage of the oats in the
i state, rnd much of this land will go
. . into cotton.
The average per acre yield of
- Georgia cottcn in 1950 was 227
' pounds of lint. The 1951 goal is 350
f j pounds of lint per acre, Mr. West-
I ■ brook said. To reach this average
’ throughout the state, farmers will
> have to shod for a bale per acre,
I ;he agronomist added.
It is believed that the 1951 goal
> can be reached. V . West, rook listed
:lthe following outstanding things to
■ I do in trying for high yields: 1. Liber-
I al use of a well-balanced fertilizer,
2. Follow a recommended program 1
j for controlling insects, and 3. Obtain
I good stands.
The outlook for the 1951 boll wee- I
i vil fight seems brighter. “Cold
I weather during November and De
। cember thinned out the weevil popu
lation,” Mr. Westbrook pointed out. [
He warned, however, that it did not ■
kill all of them.
Farmers are warned to obtain [
planting seed as soon as possible if
they have not yet done so. “There
j is a general shortage of good plant
ing seed throughout the cotton belt,”
the agronomist stated.
He also said that “farmers who [
buy fertilizer and insecticides early ,
' [ will have the best assurance of get- j
ting all they need” !
Salt, calcium, phosphorus and other
minerals are essential to maintain ,
’-^Hth and build bones in hogs.
. , Cleaning and disinfecting the far
rowing pen or h^use is one of the
best ways to prevent hog worms, ac
cording to (Extension Service live
stock specialists.
