It’s For The Community
On Tuesday night of this week there
was another meeting of men interested in
securing a community swimming pool for
Fort Valley.
It WS.S a nice meeting, extreme!}' good
supper, and we believe that progress was
made.
One thing came out though, which we
believe should he explicitly explained to
the good people of this community and
county. Namely, the pool will not be an
American Legion pool, or a Lions pool, or
a Woman’s Club pool-it will be strictly a
COMMUNITY pool.
It just happens that the American Le
gion post is sponsoring the current drive,
serving as a starter for the drive. All of the
civic, religious, and fraternal organizations
have been, and are, participating in the
campaign.
When the pool is built it will be a com
munity pool, for my kids and your kids,
for me and for you, to swim and frolic in
at our pleasure. It will be built by the com
munity-and you are a part of the com¬
munity.
Won’t you pitch in now and help raise
the necessary funds?

If Not Marvin Griffin-Who? !
Sever*! of the daily papers have al
ready gone on record as being opposed to
the unannounced (officially, that is) can
didacy of Marvin Griffin for governor of
Georgia next year. They claim that Marvin
a newspaper man himself by trade, was
too much involved in the pardon racket
when hg wag gerv j n g as former Governor
g jj Rivers’ executive secretary.
And then E |jj„ Arnall cam e out with :

re f erence (derogatory) to Amall in a >
speech. Seems as though Amall's favorite
candidate is going to be Amall. He

Marvin is well known throughout the

By William J. Wilaon
One of our Congressmen who is serv
ing his fourth term, stated that our gov
emment has grown so huge that unless
one is familiar with a bill by reason of it
coming through his committee, a Congress¬
man cannot vote intelligently, upon certain
key men in whom he has confidence, to
quickly advise him as the bills come
through. To illustrate he cited the Mary
land Tobacco Bill, the Republicans nearly
slipped through in elected. honor of The a Maryland Maryland
Republican newly
tobacco growers voted down quotas last
year and planted all the tobacco they
wanted. This year they barely voted in
quotas and this bill would give them par¬
ity on ali the tobacco they planted last
year despite the fact they refused quotas
then. Congressional courtesy and believ¬
ing the hearing on the bill was to give
the Maryland Republican a buildup back
home, came near to taking the Democrats
by surprise. Rallying forces chey beat it
down by a two to one vote: Democrats are

How to Skid-Proof Stairs
F ALLS on stairs are a common
cause of home accidents. There
are several ways to prevent such
mishaps. One is ample lighting.
Another is keeping the steps clear
of toys, bottle cartons, rubbers,
umbrellas and other items.
A slippery surface is another
cause of falls on steps. For smooth,
unworn basement and attic steps,

cover the slippery surface with
some Masonite Tempered Presd
one :^ a r ter incb vhlck ' N .f
down with the t K rough, screen side
thus successfully skid-proofing
stairs,
Other places for using this non
covering include the steps in
a barn or other farm building,
ui ™ ys to commercial or indus
’
treads of a step .] adder , top of a
used to stand on, floor in the
or farm workshop,
When the screen surface of the

use, it’s an ?a#y mattei to re¬
the material.
