MY TOWN DESERVES MY LOYALTY
“My town is the place where my home is found, where
any business is situated and where my vote is cast. It is
where my children are educated, where my neighbors dwell,
—and where my life is chiefly lived. It is the home spot for
nae.
“My town has the right to my civic loyalty. It supports
-me and I should support it.”
“My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship;
my friendliness, not my dissension; my sympathy, not my
criticism; my allegiance, not my indifference.”
“My town supplies me with protection, trade, friends,
education, schools, churches, and the right to free moral
citizenship. It has some things that are better than others;
the best things I should seek to make better; the worst
things I should help to suppress.”
“Take it all-in-all, it is my town, and it is entitled to
the best there is in me.”—(Anonymous.)
YOU CAN'T BEAT GOOD ADVERTISING
Advertising in weekly newspapers got a boost recently
when an announcement came from D. J. Stark, vice presi
dent of Escambia Chemical Company, that sales of the
company’s Ammo-Nite fertilizer were more than dubled
during the spring season last year.
Mr. Stark credited newspaper advertising as being an
“Important factor” in this tremenduous increase in sales of
the product.
The announcement said that despite the fact that pro.
duction of Ammo-Nite is being doubled this year, Escambia
has been unable to supply the demand.
We believe, like Mr. Stark, that newspaper advertis
ing did a great deal to generate extra sales of this product.
Weekly newspapers played a great part in the advertising
campaign. The product was advertised for several weeks in
weekly papers all over the state.
This statement bears out our contention that the home
town newspaper is the best read publication in this country.

of London who have praised the
Georgia venture as the most work
able plan that has appeared on
the American scene.
Under the plan formulated,
three classifications of insurance
will be offered timber owners.
One provides for direct loss to
unmerchantable size pine trees.
Another provides for damage by
fire to remaining live unmer
chantable size pine trees on a
burned area; The third provides
for damage to merchantable size
pine and hardwood hit by fire.
The three classifications provide
up to SSO an acre in protection to
timber owners.
President Jones points out that
bankers are highly interested be
cause forest insurance can in
crease the collateral value of tim
berlands. It leads a “present”
value to unmerchantable or email
timber, he states.
Jones said his firm would be
also vitally interested in the
physical protection of forest
just as auto insurers are vitally
interested in traffic safety.
He continued:
“There are about 21.000,000
acres of timberland in Georgia.
Every year about ‘ 210,000 burn.
That is about the size of the
average county. In other words
one “county” of timber a year is
lost to woods fire. This is a mil-

"Wheelchair Home'
Grant Can Be Made
Crippled Veterans
Recently enacted legislation
makes it possible for veterans
who have suffered the loss of
sizeable parts of both feet to be
entitled to a government grant for
a “Wheelchair Home,” even
though special shoes enable him
to walk, according to Pete Wheel-

Boon For Bouncing Big Babies Too :
Anemia due to lack of iron
the blood is widespread today
among infants six to eighteen
months of age, according to a
panel of leading medical scien
tists meeting recently at the
University of California.
Today’s bigger, bouncier
babies need more iron than the
smaller babies of yesteryear did,
the doctors say. By the time a
big, fast-growing baby is six
months old it may have used up
the tiny but all-important store
of iron it had at birth. The re
sult, of course, is anemia. And
the answer usually is extra sup
plies of iron, fast.
But in the past physicians have
found it hard or impossible to
get infants and children to take
iron. Youngsters dislike nasty
tasting iron medicines and some
times can’t or won’t keep them
down. Besides, iron in medicines
taken by mouth is frequently
not absorbed by the body at all.
On the other hand, transfusions
and injections into the vein are
normally undesirable and even
risky, particularly for infants.
Now, however, medical science
has come along with a solution
to these problems: a new iron-
er, Director, State Department of |
Veterans Service.
Wheeler said that a 1949 law
provides that the Veterans Ad
ministration may make a grant of
up to 50 per cent of the cost of
a “Wheelchair Home,” the Fed
eral grant not to exceed SIO,OOO,
to service connected disabled
veterans who cannot get about
without the aid of wheelchair,
crutches, braces, canes, or the
like.
Many of these veterans, al
though fitted with orthopedic
shoes which enables them to walk,
must at times resort to wheel
chairs or crutches. In making a
determination of entitlement, the |
aid of any orthopedic or prosthetic
device will be carefully consid
ered by the VA, Wheeler said.
The grant is, Wheeler con
cluded, an outright gift from the
government and does not affect
the veteran’s right of G. I. Loans,
if otherwise qualified.
How New Power-X With X-Chemical Works:
Sinclair’s exclusive X-Chemical does
what other additives fail to do. It elimi
nates power-robbing engine deposits,
thereby increasing power in older cars
— retaining peak power in new cars.
Other gasoline additives, intended to
combat spark plug fouling and pre
ignition, actually build up harmful de
posits of their own. But Sinclair’s neW
X-Chemical has none of these damag
ing after-effects.
THIS RARE CHEMICAL ATTACKS
HARD, CRUSTY DEPOSITS —
CHANGES THEM INTO HARM
LESS, POWDERY MATERIAL.
After just three tankfuls of new Super-
Premium Power-X, you can feel the
improvement in performance — pro
vided you do not mix it with other gas
oline. See your Sinclair Dealer and
power up with New Power-X.

dextran preparation called Im
feron. With it, doctors now can
safely inject iron into an in
fant’s muscle with no pain or
side effects. A recent report in
Pediatrics, journal of the Amer
ican Academy of Pediatrics, says
that a series of three or four
shots not only cures the iron de
ficiency but can give a baby all
the iron it needs during its first
year of robust life.
BEHAVIOR
Basic attitudes, concepts, and
value patterns are set during the
early years of a child’s life. Be
cause of this fact, Miss Audrey
Morgan, family life specialist, Ag
ricultural Extension Se r v i,c e,
warns against placing a monetary
value on being good. Parents
should avoid ’“slipping values’
such as saying to a child, “If
you’re a good boy, I’ll give you
an ice cream.”
TREES MOST VALUABLE CROP
Georgia forests provide raw ma
terials for an industry valued at
S7OO million annually. In fact
trees are the state’s No. 1 agri
cultural crop. The total raw val
ue of forest products sold by
Georgia timberland owners, ac
cording to Extension Forester
Dorsey Dyer, is approximately
$l5O million a year.
