■began the construction of the
Glenwood Clinic.
Harvey Manley, President of
the Glenwood Health Council,

which will greatly reduce the
total cost of construction. How
ever the total amount of the funds
necessary for the construction has
not been reached.
To Parents of
Pre-School Children
Your child is approaching a
new experience—Going to school!
We feel sure you are doing
many things to help your child get
ready for school. Since a number
of mothers ask “How Can I help
my child get ready for school?”
we would like to remind you of
some of the things you might do.
Education is a partnership be
tween home and school and only
by the fullest cooperation of
teacher and parent can we do the
best job.
Parents may help their chil
dren by seeing that they are in
the best physical condition pos
sible, by seeing that your child
■has immunization against diph
theria, whooping cough, and tet- ।
nus, by helping the school in con-1
trolling communicable disease,!
and by keeping your sick child at I
home in bed.
Your child should be taught to:,
1. Put on his own clothes and,
to tie his own shoes.
2. Go the safest way to and
from school.
3. Go directly home when
school is dismissed.
4. Listen to what others say j
and follow simple directions.
5. Use acceptable speech rather
than baby talk.
6. Repeat some memory verses,
rhymes, sing simple songs, tell a
few interesting stories, and carry'
on a short conversation.
7. Give personal information;
needed: full name, name of par-;
ents, address, telephone number. I
Parents who realize that no I
two children are alike are very
wise. All children grow at dif
ferent rates. When they come to
school they are far more different
than they were at birth. All chil
dren do not walk or talk at the
same age. Neither are they ready
to read at the same age.
The first grade prepares your
child for reading. It is planned
to help your child develop and
practice many of the skills neces
sary in reading. Our reading pro
gram provides for:
1. Rich and varied experiences.
2. Oral language development.
3. Physical growth.
4. Social growth.
5. Desire to read.
Your child may need a longer'
than average program of this type, i
so do not be discouraged. Time j
spent in getting ready to read;
not only saves time, but reduces
failure and produces better read-1
ers.

Talmadge Pinned
Jake's Ears Back
Georgian's Think
Georgians—and perhaps Amer- ■
icans elsewhere—are still talking ,
about the recent television debate
between U. S. Sens. Herman E.
Talmadge (D-Ga.) and Jacob
Javits (R-N. Y.). Subject of the:
now famous TV debate was “Do'
We Need Civil Rights Legisla-'
tion?"
Many Georgians are saying that
“Herman pinned Jake’s ears back”
in the verbal duel. How many
converts Talmadge’s argument
won above the Mason-Dixon Line
would be difficult to determine j
at this stage.
But here on the home front, the
Georgia senator’s performance is
being widely acclaimed. Perhaps •
it was best described by The
Walton Tribune at Monroe in a 1
recent editorial headed “Herman
Talmadge vs. Javits,” which said:
“Refreshing beyond words was
the heated TV debate between
Georgia’s Herman Talmadge and
extreme left wing Republican i
; Sen. Javits of New York.
| “Javits repeated sneers at the
i hard core of Southern States who
‘defy’ the ‘majesty’ of the U. S. i
government in their insistent re
fusal to accept the doctrine of i
free and unlimited race mixing
was countered heatedly by Sen. I
Talmadge with keen logic and j
reasoning.
■, “Javits, whose political life de-;
pends upon the block vote of
minorities, accused Talmadge of
misrepresentation and of dema- i
gogy. His open hostility and ha-1
tred of the South was evident in
f every bitter, twisted word. Just a
, happy reminder, Javits and his’
stripe can be expected to fill the
i seats of the mighty should Vice
President Richard Nixon ascend
to the Presidency.
“We are grateful for the pres
ence of Herman Talmadge in
Washington. He has emerged as a
statesman of the first order, not
too engrossed in being a ‘great
2 national figure’ to mind his grass
’ roots at home and to wage a
strong and intelligent battle for
what the people of the South
r want. His poise, dignity and basic ■,
1 reasoning as to what constitutes .
> I constitutional government are
• powerful weapons in combatting ; :

f variety.”

Wheeler County
High Celebrates
Library Week
The Wheeler County High
School Library Club joined thous
ands of communities throughout
the United States in celebrating
the second National Library
Week. The basic objective of Li
brary Week is to interest more
I people of all ages in forming an
i enthusiastic habit of reading.
Suddenly “a better-read, better
: informed America” has become
j a necessity. The printed word, the
। very basis of education, has as
sumed a new importance. Only a
; lifetime of reading, which starts
jin early childhood, can keep A
mericans in watchful readiness to
exercise responsible citizenship.
Among the activities at the
, Wheeler County High School Li
i brary was a visit to the library
■ by Mrs. Hartley’s Seventh Grade.
Another feature celebrating Na
: tional Library Week was Book
Reviews given by Student Assist
ants. In the Twelfth Grade Eng
lish Class Margaret Maddox re
viewed these books: “England’s
Past Presented” by A. M. Low.
“Song of the Lark” by Willa Ca
i ther, “Poet’s Gold” by David Ross,
! “The Story of Phillip, Duke of
Edinburg” by James Hilton,
“Life in the Elizabethan Days” by
William Stearns Davis, “A Story
I of the English Speaking People”
1 by Winston S. Churchill, and “The
Small Woman” by Alan Burgess.
Helen Dixon reviewed these
books to the Family Living Class:
.Joyce Jackson’s “Guide to Win
ning Friends and Popularity” and
i “Guide to Dating,” “Practical Nu
trition” by Alice B. Peyton, and
“Plain Talk for Women Under

John S. Douglas, “Satellite” by
Bergeust T. Beller, and “Explor
ing Mars” by Richardson.

50,000 Georgia
HD Club Members
Planning Week
Governor Ernest Vandiver has j
proclaimed May 3-9 as National!
Home Demonstration Week.
Citing the club as the largest j
organization for rural women, j
Vandiver said home demonstra- !
tion leaders and agents strive to |
bring latest information and ■
methods in homemaking tasks to j
families byway of demonstrations
and other methods based on re
search from specialists in those
fields.
Miss Eddye Ross, state home
demonstration leader, Agricul
tural Extension Service, Univer
sity of Georgia College of Agri
culture, said there are about 50,-
000 members in the 1,600 home
demonstration clubs in Georgia.
The proclamation points out
that HD Club members have re
solved to believe in their national
theme, “Today’s Home Builds
Tomorrow’s World,” and through
that belief help to preserve the
democratic way of life in their
state and nation.
Georgia women have adopted a
state theme for the week, in ad
dition to the national slogan.
Locally their theme is, “Each
Home a Beacon Light.”
Special church services on May
3 will be the beginning, in many
counties, of the week’s activities.
Putting flowers and cards on hos
pital trays, arranging displays of
their canned and frozen products
and handicraft and sewing in
store windows, conducting tours
of improved homes and land
scapes, presenting special pro
grams, and reviewing the history
of the work in their areas, are
just a few of the ways club mem
bers will give meaning to the 14th
observance of National Home
Demonstration Week.
