Sure is funny how we put up
with the antics of Uncle Sambo.

dignified, responsible kind OF
geezer. But now look at him =

instead of setting us an example
in thrift and industry, he IS out
there with his coat of, chasing
rainbows. Wants to be the guy to
fix everything = show the cleo
trio fellows how to turn the lights
on ansR OFF, te.say how much to
pay down on d washing machine
= how full to fill the corn crib
and the kiea of paddock on the
door What kind of bed in the
hospital and what kind of hospi-
tai Who is to yank an abscess-
ed molsf and at how much for
each and when he will do it. If
this nation. was made up of 2 :
year olds only, Sambo could be

State College

NORFOLK, Va. (ANP) - The
way was cleared last week for
Norfolk to proceed to locate a new
site for the Norfolk Division of
Virginia State college which has
outgrown the facilities provided
at the old St. Vincent Hospital
grounds where the division is now
located. The City Committee on
Higher Education recommended
last week that the city secure a
new site for the college.
The urgent need for expansion
has come about becauseof the rapid
growth Of the college. The enroll
ment has climbed steadily year
after year. Last year over 500
students enrolled at the college
which is directed by DR.. Lyman

Georgia Tightens
Marriage Laws

ATLANTA - (ANP) It will be
much more difficult to get
married in Georgia now than in
the past because of the recently
passed state marriage laws.
Under the new statutes couples
will have to pass medical examin-
atoms before they will be issued
a license. The aim of the new
law is to cut down on the spread
of syphilis.
Here is what a couple of lovers
will have to do before they say
II do" in Georgia. First take a
thorough p physical examinat-
ion from a physician. Take their
blood samples to the health de-
partment laboratory where they
will be tested. If the samples are
okay the health department
physical will sign a premarital
certificate and give it to the ap-
plicants. At this point the couple
may seek the marriage license, it.
self.
Persons objecting to the results
of the tests may appeal to the
Superior court. Couples who can
not afford their own physicians
may be tested by a local health
officer without charge.
Georgians who wish to circum-
vent the law maybe stuck if they
decide to return to the state in
less than 60 days. If they return
within the 60 days they must un-
der go the procedures required by
law.
Violators of the statute will be
charged with a misdemeanor and
face trial in city courts.
