E VEN GOOD I N
By Quimby Melton
The other day Good Evening
devoted his column to import
ant events that had happened
in January. He has had a lot
of favorable comment >n the
__
information the column con
tained.
But he made one big mistake
when he left out the date of
the birth of the late President
Roosevelt How this happened
he cannot explain, ior there is
no one in the nation who ad
mired Franklin I) Roosevelt
■inort* than Good Evening
It remained for a reader.
James E. Grubbs, of Barnes
ville. to catcii this ’ omission.
So lie wrote Good Evening a
card calling his attention to
the error.
Tlianks Mr Grubbs fur call
ing our attention to "this o
inlssion
Those of \ou who may have,
clipiied the information for
your scrapbook please make a
notation that Franklin Delano
Roosevlet was born on Jan 30.
1882.

Good Evening would like to
call attention to tlie fact that
out-of-town afternoon news
papers came to Grifiin yester
day with the "lead” story cap
tioned "Trumans Message A
waited by Congress. '
But the regular afternoon
edition of "your hometown
newspaper" carried as its lead
story one telling of the Presi
dent's message to Congress and
his reque.-t that Congress enact
certain laws that would pre
vent strikes.
Out-of-town papers have to
be printed in the morning to
be delivered in lh( - afternoon
in Grifiin.
The Griffin News does not go
to press in the afternoon until
all of the current news has
been received over its Associa
ted Pres- wires.

For tiie- latest word < f news
and all the local news one
should take Tlie Griffin News.

Piesiaent Truman, while ask
ing for labor legislation that
would reduce the number of
strikes, warned Congress that
“punitive measures" should not
be enacted. In ether words
tiie President does not think
that because certain labor
leader# have acted Jr. a manner
that has been detriment al to
the government all labor men
should be punished
There is plenty of ground for
improvement of b. Hi labor
and management in their re
lations with one another It is
to be hoped that Congress, even i
a Republican Congress, will
work out such a program.
lavbor needs management
and management needs labor
Th.ere is no getting around
that fact.
The Republicans have a
great opportunity to improve
tlie living conditions of one
and all. It is to be hoped they
will not let selfish interests
prevent them from doing this
Tin re is no reason m the
wui Id why a Republican Con
ti res, and a Democratic admin
istration cannot work in har
mony for the good of Ameri- 1
ca—if both. Congress and the
President, will put the nation
before party or individual in
terests.

Fell On Deaf Ears
Judge Chester A Byars of Spald

.SPECIAL trip
He made a special trip to At

see that the Constitutii n was dear
on the matter of who would suc
ceed a public officer who dmd be
lore he w.. sworn into office. But
the .'Committee turned Ueai ears to
his plea.
Judge Byars was ltd to make the
suggestion as a result of the case
where Judge Pittman, of tlie Cha
ro * cee Circuit iield over for four
.'ears following tlie death of hi*
opponent who liad been victorious

to the judgeship for ui additional

feated.
Hud the committee listened to
Judge Byars and made a provision
clarifying such a -ltuatlon as tiie
