As I See It
By William J. Wilson
I see in the Atlanta papers somebody is
mad at Biblical editorial writer, Tom Lin¬
der. A bill has been dropped in the hopper
$0 prohibit heads of state departments
from advertising their faces in their offi¬
cial department organs. Another has skint
his ignorance, by dropping in a bill to abol¬
ish the office of Commissioner of Agri¬
culture, and in its stead, establish a Live¬
stock Board. When Rough and Ready gets
through with these two they will at least
know their political a b cs. The Linder lob¬
by, in the Legislature, can move with baf¬
fling efficiency when the need arises. Even
your own best friend will start talking in
the unknown tongue when the word comes
down to kill a certain bill. Later news flash
—-it was killed, he kilt it.

I paid a brief visit to the Capitol re¬
cently. Had a nice chat with your next
Governor, also several who would like to
be. It seems the political horizon is clear¬
ing as the possibilities drop out. There is
one dark horse though, who can pace, trot,
pr gallop, if his backers talk him into the
race. He might not win, but he will make
the winner stretch some muscles that have
not been stretched yet, if well laid plans
go awry.

the prevention or cure of poultry

pointed out this week, advising
Peach County farmers to beware
of secret preparations claiming I
outstanding curative value.

eases,” he pointed out, prevention
it at the Security Administration which di¬
rects the giving away of over One Billion
Dollars in aid to aged, aid to blind, aid to
disabled, aid to dependent children. A spot
check in New York City of 16,000 welfare
cases showed 5,200 people have received
Federal funds improperly. Senator Henry
M. Jackson, a former welfare worker,
blamed local administration for all the ills
of the welfare programs. The Senator may
be right as far as he goes but he ought to
start at the beginning. The chief rules mak
^r, Oscar Ewing, was Sent to England bv
President Truman to study the “Bank
Night” programs of Socialist government
there. Socialized medicine was to have
been the next step, but the American Med¬
ical Association didn’t like the idea.
President Ike could lop this Billion out
of the budget, telling the counties over
the nation to look after their own. More
people take an interest in the spending
penny the rules would get a drastic over
of County funds, and you can bet your last
haul. The dividend on illegitimacy and the
abandonment of minor children would be
discontinued. Son would be giving mama
a five spot now and then instead of bor¬
rowing one out of each check. Disability
would have to be actual, not imaginary.
No welfare money would go toward buy¬
ing second hand autos. The end result
would be that Peach County would not
need to spend on its welfare program
as much money as is appropriated to all
the schools in the County, as is now the
case.
should be the objective. “When
follow good management
practices, many diseases will be
prevented and time will not be
spent in hunting remedies after
the chickens get sick.”
County Agent Swan recommend
ed the following program.
Korean Veterans
Change Of Address
Vetreans in school under the
Korean GI Bill should notify the
Veterans Administration immcdi
ately if they are planning to
change their address at the close
of the spring term, so that GI
allowance checks can be delivered
without delay, VA said today.
The Post Ox*fice is not premit
ted to forward such Government
checks from one address to an-
1. Scrape, sweep, .scrub and dis¬
infect houses between broods.
2. Buy chicks free of pullorum
disease from a reliable hatchery.
3. Brood chicks in confinement
under sanitary conditions.
4. Use a deep “built up” dry
litter in laying houses.
5. Do not use old litter for a
second brood.
6. Keep a quality mash before
chickens at all times.
7. Grow pullets either in con¬
finement or on clean range not
used the previous year for chick¬
ens.
8. Vaccinate against Newcastle
disease.
9. Vaccinate against fowl pox
at 8 to 14 weeks of age.
10. Raise young chickens en¬
tirely separate from the old flock
for the first eight weeks.
11. Do not allow visitors in
houses, yards or feed room.
12. Keep water and feed clean
avoid use of “pink pills” or
remedies in water or feed
keep chickens healthy.
GI Enrollment
More Than Tripled
Georgia veterans’ enrollment un¬
der the new Korean GI Bill have
more than tripled during the first
five months of 19631 the Veterans
Administration Atlanta Regional
Office disclosed today,
The number of veterans in train
other, VA explained. For that
reason, GI allowance checks mail
ed to an address at which a vet¬
eran no longer lives, must go back
to the Treasury, where they re¬
main until VA finds out where
to send them.
Korean GI Bill allowances for
the month of May generally will
not be delivered to veteran-train¬
ees until late in June, after vet¬
erans who have been living on
the campus will have returned
home for the summer.
Those vetreans who have noti¬
fied VA of their change of ad¬
dress, should experience no dif¬
ficulty in getting prompt delivery
of their allowance checks.
No action need be taken, how¬
ever, in the case of a veteran-stu¬
dent who continues to live at the
same residence. Only those who
move need to notify the v'A of
their new addresses.
To inform VA of an address
change, all a veteran need do is
write a letter to the Veterans Ad¬
ministration regional office hand¬
ling his records. In his letter, he
should give his claim number, both
his old and new address, and he
should be sure to sign it.
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE — Thuraday, Jun« 25, 1953
Today

Tomorrow
By Louie D. Newton
“DON’T OPEN YOUR MOUTH”
A group of young people were
complaining that the room where
they had gathered for a commit
tee meeting was not air-condition
ed. In the group was the wife of'
a soldier in Korea. She listened
to their whining for a few min¬
utes, and then said: ‘Don’t open
your mouth again about comforts
and luxuries if you wish me to
remain in this meeting. Jim is over
yonder sweating and bleeding, and
all winter long he was freezing
and bleeding. I am fed up on the
attitude of too many Americans
who seem to feel that they can
eat their cake and pie while some
of us are trying to win fredom
for tomorrow.”
Sudden silence settled over the
the group, and then the chief
whiner said: “Thanks, Sue, I’ve
had it coming to me for a long
ing under the nine-month-old law
stood at 4,954, as of May 31. At
the beginning of the year, the
enrollment figure was 1,462 or
less than one- third.
Vaux Owen, VA Regional Man¬
ager ,said he expects the number
to increase in the months ahead.
So far, throughout the nation,
nearly 280,000 Korean veterans
have filed applications for train¬
ing under the new GI Bill, and in
this area 8,925 applications have
been filed. Many of these — as
well as many who have not yet
applied — may be waiting for fall
school terms before they begin,
said Owen.
The May 1 total for the nation
includes veterans enrolled at every
educational level from grade school
through college. Fifty-eight per¬
or 76,000, were studying in
and universities; 26 per
‘"•nt, or 35,000, were taking their
in all sorts of schools be¬
the college level; 13 per cent,
16,500, were on-the-job, and 3
percent, or' 3,500, were enrolled in
training.
VA pointed out that veterans
training under the Korean GI
now represent less than one
of all veterans enrolled in
types of federal veterans’ train¬
programs.
More than 550,000 World War
veterans are still in the class
and at the training bench
the original GI Bill, and
30,000 disabled veterans of
War II and Korea are tak
vocational rehabilitation train¬
under Public Law 16.
The grand total of all veterans
training including those en
under the Korean GI Bill—
better than 711,000..

promise myself that I will not
again be howling about a little
hot weather, when I have so much
' for which I should be forever
gateful.” It is not the unforgive

discomfor, and I am not citing
the above situation to overdo what
might happen with any of us; but
the wife of the Korean veteran
said something that we need to
P on< ^ < ’ 1 -
Reports indicate that our peo
pie are spending more for luxur
ies than ever before. More new
cars, more refrigerators, more
washing machines, more air-con¬
ditioning, more TV sets, more ev¬
erything. Money is cheap, and ev¬
erybody appears to have pelnty
of it, except the growing num¬
ber of paupers.
And this isn’t a crime, but it
could easily be a very dangerous
trend. There are some amongst
us who frankly say that they
see no hope for the future, and
that they intend to get their full
share of the so-called good time be¬
fore the whole thing blows up.
But history has a word for all
who feel that way. Regardless of
what the future holds, we must
work out our own salvation, in
fear and trembling. We have to
to answer to God for every thought
every word, every deed. Life is
sacred.
We can win our souls, and that
is what the young woman was
doing the other night when she
called a halt to the baby talk.
