“THE HOUSE SERVICE BUILT”
TWITTY TO ALLOW
UNRESTRICTED
FISHING.
Atlanta, Ga. April 11, (GPS)—The
law against fishing with a hook and
line at certain times during the year
has been suspended for the present
year, and fishing anywhere at any
time will be permitted, it is announced
by Peter S. Twitty, state game and
fish commissioner. All state game
■wardens and deputies have been in
structed not to enforce the law, the
commissioner said.
While the ban is lifted on hook and
line fishing, game wardens have been
admonished to redouble their efforts
to apprehend and punish all persons
using baskets, nets, seines, dynamite
and other unlawful fishing methods.
Road Tax Leniency
Urged By Talmadge
Governor Eugene Talnradge has re
quested all Georgia county commis
sioners and ordinaries to be as lenient
as possible in the collection of county
road taxes due this year. The Gover
nor wrote to all county officials this
week asking leniency.
The Governor’s request came as the
result of hundreds of letters complain
ing about the road tax. For the first
time in the history of some counties
people are being forced to work out
their road taxes, and in many cases
counties are without funds to feed the
workers.
“I think under present conditions
road taxes should be lowered," the
Governor stated. “I am sure that the
legislature in enacting the road tax
laws did not have in mind any such
conditions as we are facing, when
even $1 means meat and bread to so
many people.”
Fatality Follows
Quarrel Over Debt
DAHLONEGA, Ga., April 11.—A
quarrel over a debt allegedly owed
him by Crayton Anderson resulted
Tuesday in the death of Ben Chester,
21. Police said the quarrel started
when Anderson accused Chester of
saying that the debt was “no good.”
Anderson shot Chester four times,
police reported, killing him instantly.
He leaves a wife and one child.
MOTHER MOON
(By Beatrice Eller)
O, Mother Moon you are beautiful,
You are shining softly down on me.
In your face I’m reading a tinder mes
sive,
From my lover over the sea.
O, Mother Moon I thank thee,
With all my lonesome heart,
That you bring a message, from my
lover,
When we are so far apart.
You ease my troubled thoughts,
You give me solitary,
You’ll take this missive in my heart,
And it to him I know you’ll carry.
You’ll embrace him with your tinder
light.
You’ll kiss him just for me,
You’ll tell him that you brought it,
From his lover over the sea.

TALMADGE FORM
LETTER OPPOSES
SESSION FOR BEER
Atlanta, Ga., April’ 11—Governor
Eugene Talmadge has put a tempor
ary quietus to agitation for an extra
session of the general assembly to
legalize the sale of beer in Georgia by
making public a form letter being sent
out in reply to hundreds of communi
cations urging him to call the legis
lature back to consider the beer bill.
“I do not think that there are any
developments at present necessitating
any immediate call of a session of the
legislature,” he said in his letter, but
added that “when conditions arise
that require immediate action that
will be time enough to decide what is
the proper course to pursue.”
The governor has been bombarded
with requests from all over the state
urging immediate action on the beer
question in view of the federal enact*
ment legalizing beer sales in many
states, where state laws (lo not con
flict. Several neighboring states of
Georgia have already passed state
laws legalizing beer following the
federal enactment.

Schools Get Funds
From Auto Sales
ATLANTA, April 13th (SPB)—Com-
I mon schools of Georgia will benefit
■ from the sale of state-owned automo
biles to the extent of approximately
$12,000.00 State Supt. M. D. Collins
announced today.
Mr. Collins was highly pleased that
the Attorney-General ruled that the
schools might receive the proceeds
from the auto sales as there had been
some question as to the constitution
ality of the act of the legislature em
powering the purchasing agent to sell
the state cars and deliver the funds
to the common schools.
I Section 13 of Article 7of the State
Constitution states that the proceeds
of the sale of any state property shall
I be applied to the refunding of the
1 public debt. For a time Mr. Collins
feared that the recent act might be
held unconstitutional and that the
I common schools would not receive the
! money which they need so badly,
j However, the Attorney-General has
! ruled that the property referred to in
the Constitution is property having a
fixed or similar site as real estate and
therefore does not apply to the auto
mobiles which were bought from funds
appropriated to various departments
by the legislature.
Mr. Collins stated that the funds
from the auto sales will be distributed
as soon as they are received.

REPRESENTATIVE WOOD AN
NOUNCES FOREST CENTERS
IN NINTH DISTRICT.
By Gladstone Williams
Washington, April io—Follow
ing a conference today with officials
of the agricultural and labor depart
| nients, Representative John S. Wood,
of Canton, announced a definite de
cision has been reached to establish
at least five unemployment relief re
forestation camps in north Georgia.
All five of the camps will be- lo
cated in the ninth congressional dis
trict, served by Mr. Wood, and each
will be assigned a minium of 250 re
cruits.
Camp No. 1 will be located six miles
east of Clayton. No. 2 will be estab
lished between Clayton and Hiawas
see on the line between Rabun and
Towns counties. No. 3 will be near
Rohertstown, in White county. No. 4
will be on Nimberwill creek, in Lump
kin county, while the fifth camp will
he located on the Toccoa basin road
between Woody's Gap and Morganton,
in Lumpkin and Fannili counties.
The five sites agreed upon are all
part of government forest reservation
Plans call for having them organized
immediately.
Still other camps are to be located
in the state later, Representative ]
Wood said.
The government is seeking to put j
out-modeled mail trucks into the re
forestration work, it was learned Mon
day through Postmaster E. K. Large.
He received a telegram from the 4th.
assistant postmaster-general asking
how many obsolete or discarded truck
he might have on hand which could
he used in this work. Mr. Large made
a survey and reported 22 trucks avail
able. He had received no further in
structions Monday night.
Farm Improvements
Being Made in Forsyth
It is very'noticeable in Forsyth
County at this time qf the year just
how many farms and farm houses are
being improved, in fact several old
men have said that there had been
more houses and barns repaired and
recovered this spring in this county
than ever before in one whole year.
This speaks well for the farmers and
citizens and let us urge this to keep
on spreading for we believe this will
do more good and help bring back the
good old times which are already on
their way than any other thing..
Now is the time for everyone to do
his repairing while building material
is so cheap and labor is cheaper than
it has been for years. If we all will
throw our shoulders to the wheel and
keep pushing we can soon realize that
better times are here.
Satisfied—And How!
(By Lawton W. Griffin)
“Scuse” me folks while I take a poke,
At the last session,—what a joke.
Most members were honest and
sincere,
But scared of everything "eludin'
beer.
They hemmed and hawed and chewed
the rag,
And wouldn’t vote for the “Gover
nor's Tag.
•
The senate, oh what a show they
staged.
The highway board should have had
’em caged
And charged admission for each
act.
(Would have paid that mileage,
for a fact.)
After protecting the “sacred cow,
They went home satisfied,—and how.
But now that all is said and done,.
Their antics furnished lots of fun.
Perhaps they came and did their
best,
And some just failed to meet the
test.
The Governor’s got the whip-hand now
And folks are satisfied,—and how!

A JUSTIFIABLE DEBT.
Sometime ago we heard a man say: "I saved most
of my money by putting myself in debt. I bought
a home and some stock in the company for which
I work. It was hard to meet these regular obliga
sions but it made me save more than I would have
ever done otherwise, and now I have it.”
Why not take that same attitude towards a sav
ings account, which can mean independence, prep
aration for future opportunities and enjoyments, if
not neceesities.
Put yourself in debt to your Savings Account.
Make the demand upon yourself to meet that obli
gation regularly and have the moral courage to
stick to your obligation. The result will be pifee
of mind based on consciousness of the fact that
you are financially prepared to meet opportunity
or emergency.

Road Engineers To
Feel Talmadge Axe
ATLANTA, April 13th (SPB)
Another of Governor Eugene Talmad
ge’s campaign promises seemed well
on the way to realization’ when the
chief executive stated at Eastman
Monday night that “I counted to my
amazement 300 engineers on the pay
roll of the State Highway Depart
ment.”
During his campaign Governor Tal
madge reiterated the statement that
he was disgusted with the large num
her of engineers who were surveying
the state roads over and over again.
“They take an instrument to find a
road that I can find when it’s pitch
black,” Talmadge declared, and added
that this item would he sure to feel
the axe if he were elected.
The quarterly budget of the State
Highway Department was submitted
to the Governor for approval last week
but details have been shrouded in se
crecy. Action is expected during the
week and it is believed that the Gov
ernor's blue pencil will find much
work on the road budget.

ANNOUNCE NEW
LOW GOODYEAR
TIRE PRICES
New low levels have been reached
in tire prices, according to Otwcll
Motor Cos., Inc. local dealer for the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Cos.
"In addition to sharply reducing
! prices, Goodyear will produce but two
lines of tires the well-known All-
Weather Tread and the Pathfinder,
discontinuing third and fourth lino
brands.
"Prices on All-Weather tires are
now at the level paid for Pathfinders
a year ago, while Pathfinders may
now be bought ut prices comparable
to those paid for the Goodyear Speed
way line at that time,” he continued.
"All-Weather prices are 49 per cent
under 1929 rates, while Pathfinders
cost 48 per cent less than in 1!)29, not
including government tax.”
This means that Goodyear tires,
with full center fraction, built with
the famous Supertwist Cord, which
by its outstanding superiority over
ordinary cord used in tire construc
tion, imparts greater mileage and
longer life, can now be purchased at a
real saving.
