Foxes Attack Three
Persons. Animals
In SE Georgia
Two persons, and a dog and a
hog have been bitten in Jeff
Davis County and a third person
in the nearby Baxley area in an
outbreak of rabies in foxes of
Southeast Georgia.
Bitten in Hazlehurst Sunday
night was Gwendolyn Pearson, 9,
and at the Fred Roswell farm,
about nine miles northeast. Mon
day, was Bill Dykes, both per
haps by the same animal.
On Baxley, Rte. 3, early Mon
day Robert J. Crapp was attacked
and bitten by an animal which
was killed and found in a labora
tory test to have rabies.
Antirabic treatment has been
issued for the Hazlehurst child,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
M. Pearson, and for Crapp. Ar
rangements are being made to
obtain it for Sykes.
The animal attacking the Pear
son child and Sykes was still at
large, although Walter Ray, 17,
who lives near the Rowell farm,
fired on a fox believed to be the
animal.
When the fox appeared at the
farm of W. S. Ray, father of Wal
ter, the youth leaped in a truck,
ga,ve chase and got near enough
for a shot. The fox was not stop
ped but was believed to have been
wdunded.
The child in Hazlehurst was at
tacked in her own front yard
when she and other children re
turned from church. Some of
the larger children tried to herd
the smaller ones into the house
and safety but the animal leaped
at Gwendolyn and bit her on the
ankle.
The animal at the Rowell farm
bit a dog and hog and attempted
tovattack Mrs. Dykes, a daughter
of the farm owner. Her husband
leaped in front of her to protect
her and the fox bit him.
Still another animal, a large
gray fox, was killed Monday night
in the chicken house of Tom Pair
about two miles northwest of
Hazlehurst. It was not believed
rabid, however, since it was eat
ing one of the chickens when shot.
The other animal was not seen
eating, although attacking any
thing .that,, got in its path.
Joining the search for it were
a large number of local fox hunt
ers and officers, including Police
Chief Ivey Cato.
Crapp was bitten when he went
about to investigate a disturbance
in his turkey pen. He carried
along a gun and felled the ani
mal attacking him.
Officials at the State Health
Department in Atlanta reported
more than the usual number of
heads of animals sent to its regi
onal laboratory at Waycross for
rabies tests.

Golden Slipper
Night at G. S. C. W.
Friday November 16
Golden Slipper night at G. S.
C. W., Milledgeville, will be Fri- ■
day, November 16.
The year’s biggest celebration
at Georgia State College for Worn- i
en will be held at eight o’clock in i
Russell Auditorium and will set i
the stage for alumnae homecom
ing on Saturday.
The Friday night contest will |
be the culmination of weeks of ;
work by every student on campus.
Golden Slipper is basically sister
class competition, with the burden
of the contest resting mostly on
the freshmen and sophomores. ■
Juniors assist the freshmen and
seniors aid the sophomores.
Competition is found in many i
fields — Posters, displays, songs, j
plays, programs, costumes and I
entrances.
On Friday evening each group i
will enter the auditorium cos- j
turned in away which will convey j
their secret theme for the even- I
ing . Follownig this each group i
will sing original songs and pre- ,
sent original plays using Haw
thorne’s “The Great Stone Face” j
as a background.
Last year the Slipper was won ;
by the Royalty and Irish of the
freshmen and junior classes.
Twenty-six points separated last
year’s award.
This year’s celebration will
mark the 21st year that Golden
Slipper has been observed at the
woman’s college. All plans for
the contest will remain secret
until the final hour for the pro
gram. Even names of faculty
judges remain secret until the re
sults have been announced.
Miss Ethel Adams, former dean
of women, originated in 1935 the
idea of class competition with an
award of a small golden slipper
to winning classes. The contest
was initiated to promote class
I spirit, stimulate good sportsman
ship, and cultivate the develop
ment of dramatic material.
The various classes select a
general chairman for the Slipper
celebration, and every student on
campus participates in one or
more phases of the preparation.
The Alumnae Association has
plans for several meetings dur
ing the week end.

victories for their basketball
teams.
Our hard playing girls over
whelmingly defeated the Toombs

Agent Discusses
Insect Damage
To Seed Corn
County Agent, M. K. Jackson,
said this week that the reputa
tion of the grower and the dealer
is damaged when insect infested
seed corn is sold. And he added
that the good name of certified
seed is hurt when such corn is
marketed in a certified bag.
The agent said a number of
different kinds of insects attack
corn in storage. He explained
that these pests eat away the
stored food or endosperm that
serves as food for the germinat
ing plant. “Plants that do come
up from insect damage seed are
weak and likely to die.”
Jackson continued that it is to
the advantage of the grower, the
seed dealer, and the farmer to
control insects that damage seed
corn in storage.
Recently the county agent re
ceived from Dr. C. R. Jordan,
Agricultural Extension Service
entomologist, Athens, an outline
of practice that will protect seed
corn from insect damage. These
practices are as follows:
(1) Resistant Varieties: Some
varieties — Dixie 18, Coker 811
and Georgia 193 for example —
have characteristics such as long,
tight tusks that will help de
crease weevil and other insect
damage.
(2) Sanitation: It is important
to keep seed storage houses clean
of grain and feed refuse. Ac
cumulations of such material are
excellent places for insects to
breed. It is particularly important
to clean up storage houses
thorougly before new grain is
stored.
(3) Residual Sprays: Sprays con
taining 2.5 percent by weight of
DDT, TDE or methoxychlor (10
pounds of the 50 percent wettable
powder to 25 gallons of water)
should be applied to the walls
and floors of-storage houses. An
emulsion containing 1 percent
piperonyl butoxide and 0.1 per
cent pyrethrins is also satisfac
tory. All surfaces that might
harbor insects should be sprayed
with one of these materials at the
rate of 2 gallons per 1,000 square
feet.
(4) Space Sprays and Aerosols:
Synergized pyrethrin sprays
may be used in this manner to
reduce the population of flying
insects.
(5) Fumigation: Insect infested
grain should be fumigated with
a mixture containing one part
carbon tetrachloride plus three
parts ethylene dichloride.
Use six gallons per 1.000 bushels
in very tight bins. A high dosage
will be required if bins are not
quite so tight.
(6) Early Harvest: Since the
the rice weevile and other insects
infest grain in the field under
our climatic conditions, it is rec
ommended that corn be harvested
as soon as feasible.
(7) Corn should be dried to a
moisture content of 10 to 12 per
cent. This will not injure germi
nation and will reduce insect
damage.
(8) Protectant Dust and Slur
ries: Mix one of the following
materials with corn after shelling
to protect from insect damage —
(a) 5 percent DDT dust at the rate
of one ounce per bushel; (b) 50
percent DDT wettable powder at
the rate of three ounces per gal
lon of water to treat about 30
bushels as a slurry, and (c) a wet
table powder containing 10 per
cent piperonyl butoxide plus 0.75
percent pyrethins at the rate of
two pounds per 100 bushels as a
slurry. (Caution: Do not use grain
treated with DDT for food or
feed purposes.)

Two To Hazlehurst
Although both the W. C. H. S.

Total score for the girls was
60 to 42 and for the boys 79 to

To The People
Os Glenwood
When I took office as your
mayor back in tire spring I found
the town in good shape financial
ly, but in a run down condition.
My first recommendation to
the council was to appoint a citi
zens committee to make a sur
vey of our needs in Glenwood and
report back to the mayor and
council. The council approved this
recommendation and the com
mittee was appointed and has
done a good job, thanks to them.
I want to say that the council
has given me the best coopera
tion, thanks to them.
Our next effort was to get a
medical doctor and a clinic for
our town. I am happy to say
that we have a doctor and a
temporary clinic that we are
proud of. We are forming a non
profit organization to build a per
manent health clinic in the town.
We have some new businesses
in our town that- we are proud
of: a nice modern drug store, a
new beauty shop, a nice hardware
store, a radio and television re
pair shop, and we are seeking to
bring some industry to our town.
We are cleaning up the
streets, side walks and alleys of
the town and are making efforts
to get some of the old delapidated
buildings tom down or repaired.
Now our water system has got
to be improved and that is a must
for the coming year.
Thanks for letting me be your
mayor this year. I have enjoyed
every bit of it but I do not de
sire to be mayor next year for I
don’t have the time to devote to
the town as it is going to take a
lot of effort to expand the water
system.
If you will elect a progressive
man that can give his time to
the office of mayor and give him
a council that will cooperate with
him as this fine bunch of fellows
has with me, there is no end to
what you can accomplish the
coming year.
Yours truly,
H. B. MONTFORD, SR.

Georgia Coastal
Natural Gas Corp.
Completes Hearings
Georgia Coastal Natural Gas
Corporation completed hearings
on Friday, November 9. before the
Georgia Public Service Commis
sion on an application for au
thority to provide natural gas
service to twenty-four counties in
Southeast Georgia.
Principal witnesses for Geor
gia Coastal were Valene Bennett,
its President; C. A. Rousch, Vice
President, and Roy Richards,
Chairman of the Board. Bennett
testified as to the need for na
tural gas service in Southeast
Georgia. He pointed out that his
home area has been at a competi
tive disadvantage with the other
sections of the State and the
South in obtaining new industry
due to the lack of natural gas
service.
Other witnesses for the Com
pany testified that engineers have
been studying the project and
the market for gas for almost two
years and that the hearing was
the culmination of those efforts.
These witnesses sponsored the en
gineering exhibits and described
the proposed method of financ
ing.
Georgia Coastal’s application
was supported by repreesntatives
from most of the towns it seeks
to serve, who came to the hearing
and presented testimony in favor
of this application. Coastal was
also supported by a witness from
Atlanta Gas Light Company,
which is now' serving Brunswick
and Waycross with manufactured
gas. A Georgia Power Company
official testified that his com
pany was in great need of natural
gas for the Plant McManus at
Brunswick and that they, too,
are supporting this application.
Georgia Coastal Natural Gas
Corporation pioneered the terri
tory proposed to be served in
Southeast Georgia and has spent
two years w'orking up the plans
for the organization and its ope
ration ,to give the people of
Southeast Georgia the natural gas.
advantages which are enjoyed by
people in other parts of the state.
This company was the first to
bring to a public hearing an ap
plication to serve the twtfnty-foarr
particular counties in Southeast
Georgia and is anxious to get the
authority from the Georgia Pub
lic Service Commission, without
delay so that it can immediately
complete its negotiations for the:
procurement of a supply of natu
ral gas and can promptly start
the construction of its pipeline to
the twenty-four counties which
it seeks to serve.
Georgia Coastal has been in
close touch with the public lead
ers in each of these twenty-four
counties and desires to work in
closest cooperation with them and
with the people to be served.
This is a Georgia Cooperation
owned and operated by Georgia
people and it believes that the op
portunties for developments are.
greater in these twenty-fbusr
counties than in any other part
the State of Georgia at this time^
The company is deeply apprecia
tive of the enthusiastic support
which the cities and counties have
■given to them in this undertafe
ing.
