TRADE LANES between the
United States and the Atlantic
community—especially the Eu
ropean Common Market—must
be kept open if the free world
is to remain economically secure.
In the Trade Expansion. Act
of 1962, the United States has
the means for
keeping them
open and for
promoting eco
nomic progress
and trade co
operation be
tween all na
tions.
It is my
honor to have been appointed a
member of the team which at
a later date will negotiate the
provisions of the Act at Geneva.
This is a responsibility that I
rank as the most important as
signment I have had in public
life.
Here is an opportunity to
have a voice in the trade rela
tions of not only Georgia, but
that of the United States and
the entire free world as well.

THE POSITION taken by the
member countries of the Com
mon Market (EEC) will be most
important to the outcome of the
negotiations. The importance of
these nations as markets for our
goods is reflected in export fig
ures of the United States.
The Common Market annu
ally buys about 25 per cent of
our agriculture products, includ
ing about 42 per cent of U. S.
poultry exports (worth about
§SO million a year) 27 per cent
Os U. S. cotton exports, 36 per

tobacco and 14 per cent of
wheat.
More than 20 per cent of all
U. S. exports to the Common
Market, coming to a total of
about $3.5 billion a year, are
farm products worth about sl.l
billion a year.

EVERYONE INTERESTED
in a general expansion of free
world trade, particularly vital
to the United States because
of a $2 billion deficit in its in
ternational balance of payments
and the drain on U. S. gold,
has been alarmed at the protec
tionist stand being taken by the
Common Market.
The situation concerning agri
cultural products such as poul
try, feed grains and wheat is
becoming increasingly critical
because of discriminatory tariffs
and other trade barriers of the
EEC.
Economic security is just as
important in the Cold War
against Communism as military
readiness, and this is no time
for a rift in the Atlantic com
munity or for the free world to
be divided into warring, com
petitive trade blocs.
These nations should be work
ing together instead of at cross
purposes. As a member of the
negotiating team, I will work
to create a liberal framework
for world trade and keep the
interests of the United States
foremost.

HONE NOTES
By WILLIE LEGGITT
Rural Civil Defense
Q — What is Rural Civil De
fense?
A— It is a program of edu
cation and preparation for the
survival of people and livestock,
protection of food, feed and water
and plans to resume production
in case of natural disaster or ene
my attack in all areas of 10,000
or less people.
Q — What chance do I have
to survive an enemy atomic at
tack?
A— Research indicates that at
least 00 percent of the people
outside the bomb blast area would
survive if they make plans and
preparations using the informa
tion and knowledge now avail
able.
Q — Is there any danger in
rural areas from a possible ene
my attack?
A— Yes. Everybody every
where is in danger of radiation
from atomic fallout.
Q — What is atomic fallout?
A— Radioactive material pro
duced by a nuclear explosion that
falls to the earth from the upper
air is called fallout. When a bomb
explodes close to the earth large
quantities of soil and other ma
terials are drawn up into the
mushroom cloud and become ra
dioactive.
Q — What happens when a nu
clear bomb explodes?
A— We are all familiar with
the mushroom cloud that follows
an atomic explosion. We also
know that what goes up most
come down. This is known as fall
out. There are four main parts
of a nuclear explosion. These are
blast, heat, initial radiation and
residual radiation.
Smallpox Protection At
Low Level
Protection against smallpox in
Georgia and throughout the na
tion has reached “a dangerously
low level.”
An increase in international
travel, coupled with recent out
breaks in other western nations,
threatens to introduce the disease
into the United States, Miss Hig
ginbotham states. She added that
health and medical authorities are j
urging individuals in this coun-j

try to obtain immunization against
smallpox.
The Extension health specialist
explained that anyone who has
not been vaccinated within the
past five years is a potential tar
get for the disease.
She continued that a “perimet
er defense” against smallpox, the
requirement for vaccination of
individuals coming into this coun
ty, and public health surveillance
of ports are not adequate obsta
cles when the level of protection
is so low in the U.S.
A highly contagious disease,
smallpox can be spread by di
rect contact, by objects the victim
has handled, by coughs and sneez
es, and even in dust. “It has been
transmitted by letter.
The disease usually begins with
a high temperature eight to 14
days after exposure. This lasts
about four or five days before
the characteristic skin rash ap
pears in pustules of “pox”. The
pustules appear both on the skin
and the mucous membranes of
the nose and mouth. They also
appear in the intestines and cer
tain other internal organs. Small
pox often results in severe scar
ring. Death results in about one
in five cases.
Since vaccination makes small
pox one of the easiest of all dis
eases to prevent, disfigurement Or
death of one individual would be
tragically unnecessary.
Cottage Cheese
Small curd cottage cheese and
large curd cottage cheese! What’s
the difference between the two
cheeses?
The small curd cottage cheese,
often referred to as country style
or old fashioned cheese, has small
firm curds as the name denotes.
Small curd cottage cheese holds
its shape in salads and is used
for serving plain with salad greens

large,' soft curds which mix eas

curd cheese is preferred by some
for recipes which require the

THIS WEEK'S TIP
To remove mildew from leath
er shoes, gloves, and purses, wipe
the articles with a cloth moisten
ed in a solution of one cup dena
tured or rubbing alcohol and one
cup of water. Dry the article in
an airy place.
The main purpose of thinning
pines, say Cooperative Extension
Service foresters, is to give the
good trees sufficient room to de
velop and maintain good crowns.

Yellow traffic markings,
says the Vision Conservation
Institute of Philadelphia, are
35 to 50% more visible than
white markings.
The nation’s largest fleet of
refuse collection trucks, oper
ated by New York City’s
Department of Sanitation, are
painted “golden yellow.” Ac
cording to a department offi
cial, yellow makes the 1,300
vehicles easier to see “and
scrub.”
The color yellow, it appears,
| n ft
is having a day in the sun.
As a housewife —■ an aver
age one, I’d like to think —
I’m particularly interested in
Gotham’s collection trucks.
Further, the whole problem of
waste disposal in a city the
size of New York might inter
est women whose husbands are
often too busy to take out
the trash.
Imagine, if you will, the
problems of a department
I catering to New York’s eight
million people.
Department officials claim
they carry one million, loads
of trash a year, or over two
and one-half million tons.
Commissioner Frank J.
Lucia, a strict believer in
the cleanliness-begins-at-home
school of thought, introduced
“golden yellow” trucks less'
than a year ago.
He took the step for prac
tical reasons. Far easier to seo
and avoid than grey vehi
cles in winter months, the
trucks also attract attention
to New York City’s never end
ing anti-litter campaigns.
I’m not suggesting that you
can make your husband more
receptive to wrestling with
refuse by painting the station
wagon yellow. Certainly, that
might be going too far.
However, perhaps a coat of
yellow paint on the trash
cans will accomplish the same
thing. It’s just a thought.
