Through years of research, it has been found that certain chemicals applied to roots, stems and/or leaves are absorb ed and circulated all through the plant. These chemicals are known as systemics because for a time they become part of the plant’s “system”. If the absorbed chem icals are capable of killing in sects that feed on plants, thej are known as systemic insect! cides. Possibly the greatest advant age of systemic insecticides if their selectivity. Once in th< sapstream, the systemics will only kill those insects that feed on the plant’s sap, and general ly have little effect on the bene ficial insects such as the lady bug. Systemics can be applied to the root area or leaves of plants or injected into the root or trunk of a tree. Systemics ap plied to leaves are moved with- Martin Named Debate Captain Richmond Hill High School senior William Martin was named captain of the official debate team representing the school in eliminations held re cently. Martin, along with classmate Phil Scott, make up the nega tive team, while Elaine Ellis and Ray Smith debate affirma tively. The official debate topic for high school debaters nationwide this year l has to do with U. S. Military policy concerning oth er countries. Charlotte Altman and Suz anne Foster were named alter nates. Sgt. Harry L. Boles with U. S. Army DI AN, VIETNAM (AHT NC) —Sergeant Harry L. Boles, 24, son of Leslie S. Boles, Rich mond Hill, Ga., completed a nine-day course, Sept. 12, at the U. S. Army, Vietnam, Advisor School near Di An. The school prepares “teacher soldiers” to help step up the 1 “Vietnamization” of the war. These hand-picked soldiers, designated as Mobile Advisory Teams (MAT), are prepared by the school to go into the field to teach their combat skills to the Vietnamese forces that pro vide security to village hamlets. With their acquired combat skills, the Vietnamese forces in turn protect the Regional De velopment Teams (RDT), which is an organization much like the Peace Corps. RDT person nel travel to rural hamlets of fering advice in crop produc tion, building construction and economic improvement to vil lagers. To prepare the MAT advisors for their job, the school trains the men in such things as weapons instruction techniques, local customs, and the basics of 1 the Vietnamese language. Sgt. Boles entered the Army in 1965 and was last stationed in Germany. The sergeant graduated in : 1962 from George Washington Carver High School, Richmond Hill. Before entering the Army, he was employed by Union ' Camp, Savannah, Ga. Patrol Reports On Bryan Sergeant H. H. Clark of the Hinesville State Patrol Post announced today that his post has investigated five traffic ac cidents, made 57 arrests and is sued 70 warnings in Bryan county duing September. Commenting further Sgt. Clark said one person was in jured in the five accidents. Estimated property damage amounted to $4890.00. Also the post commander said a total of 55 pending traffic cases were disposed in the City court with the following dis positions: three guilty pleas. 52 l>ond forfeitures. Also Sgt. Clark pointed out that fines and forfeitures amounted to $1952.00 which were paid to the City court of Bryan county. in the plant quickest, but root applications seem to remain ef fective longest. It should be remembered that because the fluid in the plant is the carrier, systemics are ap- | plied when plants are in active I and not dormant state. Some systemics give as much 1 as six weeks or more protec tion per application. Another advantage is that there is no drift when soil applied, or poison to accumulate in the watershed. Di- S y ston, Meta-Systox-R, Dimethoate and Cygon are a few systemic chemicals market ed for relatively safe home use. In shopping for these materials the key word is systemic. You’ll 1 find it on the label. Systemics have many advant ages, but as a pesticide, their ' deadly qualities prevail for man < as well as insect. Use syst«n- । ics and all garden chemicals I with care. Study all labels and 1 follow all instructions. Do not use systemics on food crops, and don’t chew on leaves of plants treated with systemic > poisons. i Latest information on sys- • temics is available through your county agent, also through distributors of these products.

Park ATLANTA, (GPS)—Georgia has made great strides in re cent years in increasing the number of recreation areas in its far-flung state parks sys tem, bringing the total of 45 parks. But now it appears the State Park Department is on the verge of losing one of them— the popular Crooked River State Park located in the south eastern corner of the state, some 12 miles east of Kings land in Camden County. The 500-acre park is steadily slid ing into the sea. However, State Parks Direc tor John L. Gordon said his de partment will make every ef fort to save the park and its $159,000 facilities, which in clude 15 air-conditioned cot tages, a swimming pool and, bathhbdse, boat' rafhps, ' paved' toads; picnic shelters, utility line's and other improvements. Gordon said the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated several years ago that a sea wail could be built at a cost of $500,000 to stop the erosion. He added that nothing was done at the time and the estimate has doubled. Nonetheless, in an effort to save the park, the parks direc tor said his department will ask for $1,136,000 in state funds in 1970-71 fiscal year to cover the cost of both the erosion control and the construction of a boat basis. “We have a great deal to lose at Crooked River State Park," Gordon commented, “and I speak not just for the State Parks Department and the money already invested at the park, but for the people of Georgia. “It is for their sake as well as for their children’s that the Parks Department is asking for additional funds sufficient to preseive this outstanding out door recreation center from ex tinction.” a gal’s most uecorative asset The cling is in for fall fashions. “For the belle who wants to score high marks for good grooming on or off campus, a smooth, long, unbroken line is essential under the prevailing short skirts,” suggests Betty- Curry, fashion director for a leading mills. “A boon to the female con tingent who prefer the social security of a girdle is Loop-the- Loop, Burlington-Cameo’s new stocking with little loops knit in the top (welt). Flat clasps attach the stocking to the gar ter tab of any foundation gar ment, thus eliminating garters and garter bulge. This fall Loop-the-Loop will come in an opaque style in 13 fashion shades and a support style in 6 flattering shades.” For panty-hose enthusiasts there is a new bikini panty hose, the first without seams. The high side effect is achieved by a new knitting teachnique. No matter how high skirts may rise, girl-watchers report, the seamless bikini type panty hose reveals a smooth, unbrok en line, so it has special affin ity for Fall’s clingy, slinky styles. •wa* —. — — — WV £ 1 • * ' ■ ■ !>” ' u MSB SIF® SS -Ji * —-*• SEP’69 Form 103 fabed covered in a menswear fabric in glen plaid, with walnut frame.

Coordinate, Sir, Instead 24 While most men may not want to be swingers to the ex tent of adopting the so-called “unisex look” and dressing virtually like their wives, there are still some good basic rules of coordination to follow so both men and women comple ment one another’s apparel. The situation is complicated by the fact that women have so many categories of dress, many of them overlapping and confusing. And now that wom en are also putting on the pants, calling them suits, and wealing them for high-fashion occasions, the man of the house may find himself in a real quandary. The following suggestions, made by Society Brand Clothes, can be followed as far as prac tical. In general, they tend to eliminate instances where one half of a couple is underdressed which makes the other partner automatically overdressed al though he or she may be completely correct for the occasion. Pre-planning is the only answer. It is relatively easy for married eoupina to achieve' this but stilL worth' thv efforts for unmarrii^.tvdiscuss ward robe ahead of time. It revolves around the type of event and the time of day involved. An afternoon party, for instance, might call for j different dress than an ident- i ical event held in the evening I at the same locale. Local customs and eircum- i stances are to be considered, of course, but use this as a rule of thumb. A dressy occasion, where a woman might wear anything from a cocktail frock to a pantsuit, requires nothing RUGS 'EXPLODE’ WITH COLOR AND DESIGN... FLOORS TAKE ON A NEW LIVELY LOOK Area rugs are like punctua tion marks, only more glamour ous. Just a» commas and peri ods work in sentences, rugs help define and make sense of furniture arrangements. How ever, in addition to their practi cal usefulness, they have be come excitingly interesting as well, thanks to their newly aud acious designs and dashing, colors. Today’s uninhibited area rugs are all over the place, creating islands of soft comfort on vinyl, tile or wood floors, or on top of plain wall-to-wall carpeting. Whatever floor you have, it can be emphasized with an accent rug. A stroke of boldness heightens the appeal of an en tryway or foyer. A large shag gy circle of color in the center of a conversation grouping sets it apart from the rest of the room. When every inch within a room must count, as in many round - the - clock rooms, one small but brilliant show of rug color will define dining, music or study area. Beside the bed, rugs can provide soothing com fort under bare feet. And, of course, hearths and rugs were really made for each other. One of the most popular types of rugs available now are the Scandinavian rya rugs. In fact, the great increase in in terest in rugs can be traced to their appearance on the Amer ican decorating scene only within the last few years, es pecially those from Egetaepper of Denmark which is the larg est rya manufacturer in the world. The word “rya” comes from an ancient Norse word for “rough” and although their characteristic is to be shaggy, the modern ryas are far from the rough, long-yarned ryas less than a suit on a man. No sport coat/slacks combinations are in order. A woman need not deck her self out in a slacks outfit be fore a man can wear a sport jacket. Women have an un usual category of dresses wherein the item can be dressed “up” or “down” depending on how casual the event is. If she dresses down for an event, a sport coat is entirely proper. How casual she dresses deter mines whether the man can re place a tie with a scarf, ascot or other casual neckwear. The decision of what-to-wear is often solved completely when the host or hostess sug gest appropriate attire when issuing an invitation. If he or she doesn’t and you’re in doubt, ask. You’ll cause no embarrass ment — either for the host or yourselves. If you’re on the other end of the invitation— issuing it, that is — you can field ward robe queries by telling what you’ll be wearing and, there fore, subtly suggesting what guests should wear. r■ - r Men’s 1 ityles reflect the thir ties, a^jj^h^women’s. When Fall comes around, the camel hair polo coats will be back, say prognosticators — and perhaps as big as it was in the Thirties. Meanwhile, the belt- I ed, wraparound model is al । ready appearing in the rain j wear field .. . Speaking of I things to come, the maxi-length ' outercoat is apt to zoom in popularity this Fall and Win ter. One may not like the look of this long coat but few will question the practicality of keeping warmer and drier in wet weather . which the Vikings wove to warm both their homes and themselves. Today’s rya rugs are thickly-woven of brilliant ly-colored wool yarns in pat terns which combine the old heritage with the most modem designs. Their texture and their colors have double appeal both to the eye and to the touch. The colors, textures and de signs of area rugs today make them truly small gems. With out a rug, a room can fall very flat. With a rug, a room as sumes an entirely individual personality. Sometimes a rug 1 dictates the room decor, espec ially if it is a small work-of-art design. Then, it should be dis played as if it were a painting — if there has to be any furn iture on it at all, make it a glass-topped table or one of the new plastic cubes that will not detract from the rug’s "de sign. However you use them, let rugs serve as glamourous punc tuation to any room in the I house. And regardless of how superb-looking they may be, they are meant to be walked l on! For Fall the smart woman has many choices in fashions. And all are distinctive. The look is long . . . long coats and long jackets and long vests . . . and the dinner suit with long skirt as an alternate for pants. The look is lean . . . elongated torsos and hipline accents.

Here, Care-Tips A woman’s hands are living giveaways of her personal ity, disposition and grooming habits. Nervous hands never conceal a secret. It is obvious, if you’ve sat next to finger drummers, nail snappers or nibbiers, or watched hair strokers or bead twisters. Hands are always in full view, and any symptoms of neglect are glaring. Hands that look as if they never do a lick of work owe their beauty not to idleness, but to very active work and care with creams and lotions, manicuring and other protective measures. If you want to get compli ments on your hands, they had better be smooth and soft. But chances are, if you are like most American females, your skin is dry and your hands chap easily and quickly at the first signs of cool weather.

Durable Fashion In today’s turned-on, tuned in world of home furnishings the wise homemaker-decorator will choose products that are not only '‘with it” but that also represent the best value. In se lecting carpet, for example, it’s important to consider durabil ity and ease of maintenance right along with exciting color and design. Specially aimed at satisfy ing all these demands is a col orful patterned nylon carpet called “Constellation” from Ozite Corporation. It’s an over all three-color kaleidoscope ef fect that’s “in” enough for far out furnishings yet also ap peals to more subdued modern tastes. Four brilliant color stylings are available to be mixed or matched with the rest of the room furnishings. The colors are Golden Glow, Green Earth, Galaxy Blue and Sunset Red. “Constellation”is one of three patterns in a new Style Trend line of nylon carpet. The other two are American Style, a five color Early American pattern and Style Tweed, a three color random pattern. All three are so fashion-right that they are recommended ^or use through out the home in kitchen, dining room, family room, den, bed room or bathroom. These carpets are made of nylon facing with a cushion backing of the finest quality high density foam rubber. They are made with an exclusive needlebond process of manu facturing.

It is probably the most ignored skin condition, unfortunate be cause it is also one of the most receptive to treatment. The hands are generally the driest part of the body, accord ing to Pacquin chemists, who explain that dryness occurs first where the skin is thinnest. Other thin skin areas that should be given particular at tention with faithful applica tions of hand cream and lotion are, in this order, the tops of the feet, the backs of your heels and your elbows. Any student who turns the pages of a book or takes notes in class is experiencing friction and abrasion of the skin simply by touching and rubbing paper or pen. This contributes to skin dryness and discomfort. The bone this process with a special and highly sophisticated print ing process. The carpets are highly dur able — the reason their per formance rates particularly high for heavy traffic areas like the kitchen, dining room and hallways. The material is unaffected by moisture and re sists staining. When it comes to mainten ance, these carpets are ex tremely easy to care for. Nor mal vacuuming, prompt atten tion to spills and periodic cleaning is all that’s required. Repair of a permanently dam aged spot or burn involves a simple patch which can be ac complished with a razor and matching bit of excess carpet material. And, the patch won’t show! Because the carpets are great for any area of the home, they make possible exciting new decorating ideas. For ex ample, a decorating scheme keyed to Constellation Golden Glow could be beautifully car ried through from kitchen into dining room. Or Galaxy Blue could set the pattern for a col or coordinated bedroom and ad joining bathrooms. Imagine do ing such things with ordinary carpets that are targets for stains and moisture! Fashion, ease of mainten ance, durability — these are the bywords to modem home makers who want to “make the scene” in decorating yet retain a bit of old-fashion practical ity, too! experts suggest that hand cream applied regularly helps protect the skin and also helps restore badly needed moisture and oil. Simple Care The Pacquin people also recommend keeping rich hand cream and lotion in convenient places, using them especially after washing hands and before retiring. Try to wear loose cot ton gloves at night while you sleep, after massaging hands generously with cream. Keep nails shapely and smooth. Every-day hand care is sim ple, not time-consuming, and it is very habit-forming. If you are kind to your hands, you will get quick rewards. You will have a most basic feminine at traction — soft, appealing hands that men will admire and want to hold. A Menswear Upholstery Lends A Male Atmosphere Think, now . . . hasn’t your young man really outgrown that youth bed ? He’s too big and he really would like a dif ferent kind of furniture piece anyhow. His friends are in and out to visit, do homework to gether or listen to records. He needs a place to sit on. And he’d like it to be masculine. It has become the time to do the room over. Stuck on a be ginning? A good idea is to start with the single largest upholstered piece. The use of a menswear fab ric gives this room a subtle male character. The key is the glen plaid covered sofa sup ported on a walnut frame. When combined with a real fur area rug, it is ‘his’ sanctuary. The room is kept light and bright through use of a white parsons table and a small arm chair. The bed is hidden but handy. It is actually the main seating unit ... It is a Hide-A-Bed sofa by Simmons which con verts instantly to a full size bed.
