Four* I ear term
Governor
Adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, providing for a four-year
terra for the governor and other state
house officials should be regarded as
a progressive step in Georgia’s gov
eminent, which so badly needs a
thorough renovation.
It is pointed out by proponents of
the amendment that all the southern
states operate on such a basis, except
Tennessee, which suffers a bad case
of politics every two years like Geor
gia.
The four year tenure and the
vision that the governor could not
succeed himself contained in the
amendment, would go far to free the
governor of political pressure which
he has to endure as best he can in
the hope that he won't make political
enemies out of those whom he does
not deem it wise to agree with.
With very few exceptions for a good
many years back governors have been
eiected to two terms. So. why not
ratify the amendment and eliminate
some of the politics with which this
state is. overburdened.
American Citizen¬
ship
Not since the rights of citizenship
in this country of out's were first
established has there been so much
cause as there is today for pride and
thankfulness as each of us Utters the
words: “I am an American!”
We enjoy precious rights in the
Urtited States, ones to be found in
few other lands. Freedom of speech,
freedom of religion (even the right to
follow any religion except
ship has been lost in some foreign
lands), the right to move freely from
place to place, the right to engage in
the occupation of your choice, the
right to start your own business and
take your own chances we Americans
arc so used to these ami other prin-
4'iple* that we seldom give a thought,
. But there’s an opportunity this
momh to pause and remember the
above considerations. For Congress
has set Sunday, May 18. aside as
Citizenship Recognition Day. in rec
ogn.tk>n of the 2,500,000 young men
and women who have reached the
estate of American citixcnsh-p during
the past year. Posts of the
Legion throughout the country an-'
many other groups and individuals will
co-operate sit giving this occasion its
full mmn'mg
And no: just the 21-year-olds should
celebrate their citizenship at that time.
fa the midst of a troubled world, all
Americans, young and old, can profit
by re-dedicating themselves to the
mean ng and importance of American
citizenship, and to their rights and
duties in this society of free and en
tetf|Mrisiac men wsstefi.
Citiseaship Recognition Day be
longs to all Americans,

UNEMPLOYED MUST
PRESENT EMPLOYER'S
SEPAR \TION NOTICE
Effective May 15, every worker
claiming unemployment compensation
benefits must produce a separation
notice from his employer outlining the
reason of separation before any pay
ment will be made, the Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation of the
State Department of Labor announced
today.
Director J. E. B. Stewart said the
separation notice should be obtained
from the employer and presented by
the worker to his State Employment
Service office at the time he files
his claim.
Heretofore, Stewart said, workers
have been permitted to file claim and
receive benefits if they complied with
eligibility conditions. Under the new
plan, adopted as an efficiency mea¬
sure, each claimant filing an initial
total claim, or reopening an inactive
total claim, or changing a partial
claim to a total claim, will be required
to produce a separation notice and
meet statutory conditions.
Employers subject to the law have
been notified by letter that it will be
necessary for them to execute the
separation notice in triplicate within
twenty-four hours after the actual
date of separation, Stewart said. One
copy should be mailed to the Bureau
0 f Unemployment Compensation, one
to the worker or mailed to his
ast known address, and the third re
by the employer for his file.
Stewart also asked the cooperation
of employers in posting in their places
of business a poster informing their
employee;: of their rights and require
menta regarding unemployment bene
fits.
