Reporter

On Monday. July II. Mrs. S.
J. Foose of the Tchula Garden
Club gave a most interesting
PROGRAM on "Birds In Your Gar
den" over radio station WXTN,
Lexington.
Mrs Foose discussed some of
the birds most commonly asso-
ciated with our Southern Gar
dens. There were the mockine
birds, one of our best loved
birds. both for his songs and
also for helping rid our garden
of harmful insects.
She also mentioned the brown
tnrasher. the cardinal and the
blue lay. The blue jaw some
times DESTROYS the nests of other
birds probably does more good
than harm as he eats a great
manv insects.
Every gardner should encou-
rage the birds in every possible
wav to rome and live in her
garden. This NAV be done by
rla~+'n0 berry shrubs providing
drinking water, put food out for
winter in some secluded spots
for nesting.
If the birds sometimes eat a
few strawberries and other
fruits. ALWAYS remember they
have paid well for their food by
eatino the insects.
Mrs. Foose also stated that
the Town of Tchule through the
efforts of the Tchula Garden
Club has been declared a bird
sanctuary. Thew also maintain
two feeding stations and the
.Turior Garden Club is a mem
Der of the Audubon Society.

ETY. Of other reasons, the right
diagnosis is not made.
I'VE now estimate that in
the United States, more than
$4,000 adults who suffer from
rheumatoid arthritis had their
actual onset of the disease in
childhood" DR.. Clark added.
Had they received modern
treatment at that time, most of
the crippling in maturity could
have been prevented. That's
one reason why The National
Foundations program in ar
thrills and patient aid for the
young is so significant"
Child victims of rheumatoid
arthritis are estimated to total
$4,000 in this country alone,
with 10000 a year i'll enough
to need medical care. About
5000 or 5000 OF these may re-
quire treatment as intensive as
the rehabilitation needed for
those stricken by paralytic
polio.
There are at least IL millions
in the nation today who suffer
from some form Of rheumatic
disease, including arthritis.

ChId's Arm Turns Hard Stony;
Medical Treatment Slows Process

Christine VerSluiS, who is
nine and lives on the shores
of Lake Ontario at Hilton,
NY, is unable to straighten
her right arm because of
rheumatic disease.
Her arm and parts of
both shoulders are becom-
ing increasingly calcifed,
which means change of the
muscle tissue into a hard
stony substance.
This somber-faced child is
the tragic victim of dermato-
myositis, one of the forms of
rheumatic disease. Another
form is rheumatoid arthritis.
The majority Of people don't
know that children suffer from
arthritis; they believe mistak-
emily that arthritis affiicts only
the aging-someone'S grand
father or grandmother, surely
not the very young.
But there is urgent reason
today why grownups and par
ents especially should be intel
ligently informed about arthri-
tbs among children. DR.. William
S. Clark, director of medical
care of The National Founda-
ton, whose expanded program
embraces arthritis, birth de-
fects and continued work in
polio. said this week:
~Rheumatoid arthritis is a
type that can make children
very i'll indeed. They may be-
come severely crippled. Their
joints may freeze Happily,
we can now demonstrate today
that with proper treatment
and care, most Of the Gripping
caused by juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis can be prevented

Clark emphasizes, is that thou

BY almost any index one can imagine,
Jackson is a noteworthy city in which
all state citizens share a feeling of pride.
To Mississippians throughout the state
who see their states Capital City only at
intervals it is nothing short of fantastic
in its rate of growth as evidenced by new
buildings springing up everywhere. One
visitor remarked that she had never visit
ed Jackson, and she comes regularly, that
she doesn't see at least one new building
where before there had been a vacant lot.
Out-of-state visitors are always sur
prised at what they find there and most
of them are favorably impressed with the
city, its people and its progress.
Jacksonians have a special obligation
to keen Jackson ahead = because it is not
only their own home and front yard, it is
the showcase of the whole Magnolia State.
To the hundreds of thousands of visitors
who touch only Jackson in their business
contacts, Jackson rs Mississippi.
Thus it is that a great responsibility
rests upon the shoulders of all qualified
electors of Jackson next Tuesday, August
1. when the Bonds For Progress C61)
will be voted.
Jackson voters are being asked to ap-
prove a $50, 650,GO0 bond issue based on
a careful appraisal of civic needs and re-
sponsibilities of that city. It has been
approved by the City Planning Board and
the Chamber of Commerce, both groups
of which have given their endorsement.
Numerous civic clubs and bodies have
added theirs.

one young mother of seven, still

She and her children live in

tween the Pentagon and

The Bureau of Public Roads
expressed opposition to both
proposals.
An impaSse between Federal
and State officials could i'm
pede current efforts promptly
to add two lanes to the portion
of Shirley running through Ar
lington County.
However, both Federal and
Virginia representatives said
they are intent upon avoiding
a disruptive deadlock.
A bill now pending in Con-
gress would authorize the
widening OF Shirley to six lanes
between the river and Route 7.
This part of the highway is
under Federal control.
The legislation, introduced
by Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, also would
designate a corridor between
the Potomac and Woodbridge,
Va, as the route of an entirely
new interstate highway. The
Bureau of Public Roads objects
to this provision and its chances
of passage are not considered
promising.
Present plans to expand the
most congested section of Shir-
ley are predicated on the as
sumption that Virginia will pay
at least 5 per cent of the cost
and accept responsibility for
the entire highway once work
upon it is completed.
