BLOOD IN URINE CALLS FOR
CHECK-UP
A lot of things can cause blood
■to appear in the urine. Many of
them are not serious at all, but
a few of the causes are very ser
ious. That’s why it is a good idea
•to check into the cause of any
■blood appearing in the urine.
In a few of these cases, the
-cause can't be readily found. Us
-ually, however, a careful exami-j
-nation will reveal the source of
the bleeding’and treatment can be
.started. Sometimes the blood ap
.pears to have seeped from a vari
cose vein somewhere along the
-urinary tract, but bleeding from
’this cause is usually slight.
Other causes of blood in the
urine are related to disturbances
in the tract through which the
urine passes. Urine is formed in
the kidney. It passes down a tube
called the ureter to the bladder.
There it collects and passes out
of the body at intervals through
another tube called the urethra.
Trouble in the kidneys—infec
tion, inflammation, congestion —
can cause blood to get into the
urine. Tumors and certain chern
" icals that cause breaks in tissues
in the urinary system can be re
sponsible. So can stones that ir
ritate and damage the walls of
the tissues in the urinary tract.
Exhausting physical exercise and
‘ 'exposure to severe cold may be
followed by a silght bit of blood
in the urine. Certain diseases like
hemophilia, which causes excess
ive bleeding, or a cnodition in
' which tissues bruise easily may
produce blood in the urine.
One authority has noted that
children sometimes pass red urine
< because they’ve eaten a great
< amount of beets which contain
red pigment. It may pass into the

urine and make it reddish in col
or.
When a doctor examines a pa
tient complaining of blood in the
urine, he first must determine
that blood actually is present-
Then he looks for the source of
the bleeding. To do this he ob
serves the nature and state of
the coloring material. He may
pass a tube into the bladder and
ureter to find the exact point at;
which the bleeding starts.
Doc MAG says:
1. When blood in any amount
is found in the urine, it is desir
able to determine why it is there
as soon as possible. Uncontrolled
or continuous bleeding is danger
ous and slight bleeding may be a
signal that something is serious
ly wrong in the body.
2. Don’t get panicky if you spot
blood in the urine. There are
many not-so-serious causes of
such bleeding. The important
thing is to find out what is caus
ing it so that proper treatment
can begin.

Traveling Through
Georgia
By: Glenn McCullough
FORT PULASKI
Lying seaward off the road to
Tybee from Savannah one can see
the battered old red brick walls—
a sight which is anything but im
pressive. But entwined in those
old walls of Fort Pulaski, named
for Count Casimir Pulaski, who
was killed in the Battle of Sa
vannah in 1779, during the Revo
lution, is a fascinating story. As
you stroll along the colonnade,
after listening to the recorded
story of the fort, you’re glad you
stopped to look beyond the walls.
For a time, a young Army officer,
fresh out of West Point, served as
an engineer during the construc
tion of the fort. His name: Robert
E. Lee.
It was built by the U. S. gov
ernment, with advice from Simon
Bernard, noted French military
engineer who had served with dis
tinction in Napoleon's campaigns.
Still incomplete when the Civil
War began, a garrison from Sa
vannah took over the fort and
held it without resistance. Months
passed until it appeared nobody
but the Savannah garrison really
wanted the fort. Then in the sum
mer of 1861 when a naval block
ade of the South was ordered, fed
eral ships gradually sealed all
approaches to Fort Pulaski. Since
the fort had then a six months
supply of food, the federal forces
had to decide whether to take the
fort by force or simply let it
starve. While the local command
er of federal forces weighed this
problem, the commanding general
of the U. S. Army ordered the fort
taken.
Using a new weapon, the rifled
gun, the federals opened fire on
the fort which had been built as
“invincible” with its 716 foot
solid brick walls, built with slave
labor. Soon after the federals
opened fire, the fort walls gave
way and the magazine was en
dangered. Rather than fight it
out, the Rebels gave up.
After the war ended, the fort
was rebuilt and strengthened, but
for no real purpose. It was occu
pied a while during the Spanish-
American war but played no im
portant role.
The fort all but went to ruin,
when after the turn of the cen
tury it was abandoned. Then in
1915 it was selected as a national
monument.
Restoration was held up be
cause of World War I. Finally in
1933, work was started on the
project to develop it as a shrine
The island of Cockspur, on
which the fort stands, was con
nected to McQueens Island by a
bridge, and in 1938 the old fort
became a huge exhibit and Civil
War monument.
A visit to the fort is a first
hand lesson in history. As a fort
it served but once, but it was
used as a prison for Confederates.
The once-powerful fort, scene
of one fierce battle, now stands in
silence.
The area about the fort is
beautiful and you are sure to en
joy picture-making and the fresh
salt air of a Sunday afternoon.
Why not plan a trip soon to this
historic and scenic area?
Your neighborhood service sta-
I tion will supply maps and assist
you in selecting the best route.

FARM MORE DANGEROUS
THAN FACTORY
It is four times safer to work
।in an industrial manufacturing
। plant than it is to work on the
American farm. During 1959 there
were 3,400 deaths and 300,000 in-
I juries due to farm accidents, re
ports Willis Huston, Extension
j engineer at the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture.
Pecan Demand Exceeds
Supply
Grocery shoppers with a sharp
eye and appetite for quality
convenience foods soon will de
mand 100% more pecans than
the present crop now supplies,
says the National Pecan Shelters
and Processors Association.
Unique in an era of surpluses, the
1 average yearly pecan crop of 150
million pounds only half meets
the estimated demand of 300
million pounds per year. Said to
be a conservative estimate, this
forecast is based on the popula
tion boom and the steadily in
creasing popularity of conven-
ience foods.
Tomorrow’s
home maker,
; say industry
spokesmen,;
will have so
phisticated
tastes, more
money to spend
and a better
knowledge of nutrition. Proces
sors of such items as bakery
goods, frozen salads, desserts
and heat-and-eat main dishes
are making plans now to meet
these new demands. It is antici
pated that pecans will have
greatly increased usage as an
appetite-appeal ingredient in
many of these products.
Pecan prices to the grower
have held steadily high for the
last five years. In many areas,
pecans rank among the top
money crops. The comparatively
low costs of growing, cultivating
and harvesting, plus the ready
market, has focused attention on
the need for up-grading and in
creasing production. Presently,
I research is being done by the
U.S.D.A. and by extension horti
culturists to help the individual
grower reap the cash rewards
the greater demand for pecan
crop will bring. Special attention
is being given to the individual
requirements of growers in vari
ous areas. This new information,
on planting, fertilization, disease!
and insect control is available
to growers from county agents
throughout the producing area.
Nematodes cost farmers mil-1
lions of dollars each year through
yield reductions and sometimes |
complete loss of crops, according
to Dr. Luther Farrar, Extension,
plant pathologist.
