DISTRICT MEETING
INDORSES WOOD’S
RE-ELECTION
CANTON, Ga., April 15—(AP)_The
Ninth District Democratic executive
committee met here Saturday and un
animously indorsed Congressman
John S. Wood for re-election.
The committee voted to call the
1934 convention on September 22 to
formally declare the party’s nominee.
After the business meeting the com
mittee was addressed by Congressman
Wood at a luncheon.
BANKHEAD BILL
PASSED, SENT
TO ROOSEVELT
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON
COTTON CONTROL PLAN
FINISHED IN HOUSE
VOTE IS 235 TO 105
New Venture in Economic Planning
Effective Upon Signature.
WASHINGTON, April 17—(API-
Congressional action was completed
Tuesday on the Bankhead compulsory
cotton control bill.
The vote was 235 to 105.
It now goes to the President, who
recommended it.
The house adopted the conference
report approved Saturday by the sen
ate Cotton production is limited to
10,000,000 bales in the coming year
by the bill.
It is anew venture in economic
planning and becomes effective upon
the President’s signature. It may be
extended a second year through presi
dential proclamation if two-thirds of
the farmers favor it.
The measure imposes a tax on half
the current market price, or not less
than 5 cents a pound, on all cotton
prodluced in eftcess of ten million
bales. It is designed to aid the farm
administration in its voluntary cotton
production reduction program.
Chairman Jone3 (Democrat, Texas),
of the agriculture committee explained
the bill as approved in conference
was virtually the same as the house
originally passed.
The exceptions were, he said, the
reduction of the life of the bill from
three to two years, exemption of long
staple cotton, and a provision exempt
ing from the tax 200,000 bales in
states which have not produced more
than 250,000 bales in any one of the
last five year3.
Quotas to other states are to be
fixed on (the basis of the average pro
duction for the last five years.
The senate provision to exempt six
bales of cotton from the tax was
stricken out by the conferees.
Forsyth County Con
tracts Approved.
The Cotton Acreage Reduction Con
tracts for Forsyth County have been
accepted by the State Board of Re
view at Athens. They are now being
typed and frill be forwarded to Wash
ington this week for final acceptance.
Farmers should receive their benefit
payment early in May, unless some
further delay occurs.
Each producer will be mailed a
card this week which will give him
information as to the number of acres
of cotton he can plant, the number
of acres rented to the Secretary and
the average yield per acre as approv
ed in the contract. It will be the re
sponsibility of each producer to abide
by his contract and not plant more
acres of cotton than he is allowed.
The committees will not check on
this until sometime in July.
Each producer will also be mailed
a Farm Record Book within the next
several days. It is hoped that all
farmers will use these books to keep
an accurate record of farm products
produced, sold or used at home. There
will probably be times when we will
need to refer to these records in mak
ing contracts for future adjustment
programs.

Does Child Health Day
Mean Anything in
Cumming.
It is interesting to observe that the
Congress of the United States, in 1928
requested the President to annually
proclaim May first as Child Health
Day. Since that year, each President 1
has issued an appropriate proclama
tion, which gives recognition to the
vital interest which the nation has in
the health of its’ children.
In hundreds of towns and cities in,
this country special programs will be
observed in the interest of child
health and thousands of articles will
be printed in magazines and news
papers to emphasize its importance.
However, the question of deepest
concern to the people of Cumming is,
“What does it mean to us?" Making
speeches and reading articles about
child health are entirely worthless
unless they are followed by some
positive action in the areas where
children live. Cumming, like a num
ber of other places, is proud to refer
to its interest in the boys and girls
who live here. Almost any adult here
can utter some platitude about the
“real wealth of the nation” and the
high regard in which we hold the men
and women of tomorrow.
If Child Health Day is to mean any
thing to the children of Cumming, it
must be because the adults of this
community realize the deficiencies
that exist and exhibit a willingness to
expend time and money for tfie proper
care and development of the physical
bodies of little ones living within our
limits.
The time has long passed when in
telligent parents are satisfied to per
mit the boy-s and girls of today to
grow up and get along on the things
that were good enough for the gener
ation before them. It is essential for
the well-being of children that they
have ample opportunities for play,
under proper supervision.
Moreover, they should be taught the
fundamental rules of correct living.
Luckily, our schools are doing better
along this line but there is much to
be (tone jand (the Parent-Teacher*-,’
Associations throughout the country
have focused interest upon the prob
lems of children.
However, in our opinion, every muni
cipality should have within it an a~-
sociation of adults, keenly interested
in promoting the welfare of its child
ren. Has Cumming an organization
devoting itself exclusively to this
great purpose? If not why not?

ENTERED INTO REST
By Frederick S. Ported
“LOUS A. Henderson has entered
into rest” was Louie Newton's simple
and beautiful description of the pass
ing of the Hose Hill pastor in his
memorial address last Tuesday morn
ing in Columbus. The scene was an
impressive one. Every available seat
in the large auditorium and adjoining
room was occupied, with many stand
ing in the rear of the church. Some
twenty-five pastors from over the city
occupied the platform. All denomina
tions were represented. Delegations
from far and wide were there, includ
ing President Dowell and Dr. Rags
dale of Macon. All hearts beat in i
unison as ithe one sentiment of sorrow
prevailed in the great congregation |
Beautiful and appropriate music con
tributed much to the service. Dr.
Newton rose triumphantly to the oc
casion. With a deft and delicate
touch he brought out- the sterling
qualities in ithe life and character of
Dr. Henderson, who had been pastor
of Rose Hill church for seventeen
years and had occupied through all
that time positions of leadership in
the community and denomination.
E^f f were blinded with mist as the
tpv--‘..er related touching incidents in
the life of our departed friend, his
devotion to his parents in the old
home at Cumming, Georgia, his call to
the ministry after serving at the bar.
Beautiful indeed was the speaker’s
climax here when he said: “He left
the legal profession at the call of God
to become the advocate of needy
■souls.” And what an advocate he was
pleading always on behalf of the un
fortunate, serving the cause of suf
fering humanity, and proclaiming the
soverign grace of God as the panacea
for every ill.
After life’s fitful fever Louis Hen
derson has entered into rest, and his
works do follow him. The splendid
i church organization at Rose Hill is
his monument, and tablets to his
i memory have been erected in count
less human hearts touched by his
loving, jovial spirit. Truly there is a
prince and a great man fallen this day
in Israel. —Christian Index.
MR. WOOD ACTS.
Congressman John S. Wood, of the
Ninth Georgia District, seems to have
won a nation-wide applause for his
hill to take the aviation industry out
ofpolitic3.
Congressman Wood’s measure pro
poses a non-partisan commission of
five to be appointed by the president,
to Solve the aviation problem that
was badly muddled by members of
his own party high in the present ad
ministration.
Administration leaders seem reliev
ed that the bill came from a Democrat
Who else could it have come from
than from John Wood, of Canton .'
Congressman Wood has known avi
ation since the world war. He ttud
ied it then and he has studied it dur
ing the 15 years that have elapsed
since, and he has studied it from the
air, not from the ground.
To be qualified to regulate a thing,
you must know your subject.
Little opposition appears to Con
gressman Wood's proposal. Republi
can leaders who had been using the
chaotic aviation situation for a wedge
of battle against the Democrats see
light in Mr. Wood’s proposal and will
pull in their horns.
Congressman Wood’s bill will bring
security to a deserving and a specta
cular industry. It will be a party
triumph. And it showers its author
with honors North Georgia Tribune.

Wheeler were business visitors in

REMOVE AIR MAIL
FROM POLITICS
SAYS WOOD BILL
J WASHINGTON, I). C. -Complete
'removal of the air mail from politic?
and as rigid regulation of the aviation
industry ns that now prescribed for
railroads is proposed by Congressman
John S. Wood, of Canton, repre on
-1 tative from the ninth Georgia district;
|in his bill o create a non-partisan
federal aviation commission,
i The bill provides for continuance of
! existing air mail lines until the com
mission it creates lias opportunity to
I fix new permanent routes. The Wood
hill is similar in all essentials to the
| McCarran senate measure on which
hearings have been opened.
The proposed commission would
consist of five members, appointed ly
the president subject to senatorial
confirmation. It would have regula
tory powers over air lines comparable
with those the interstate commerce
commission now has over railroads.
SERVED IN WAR
Congressman Wood, who served in
the aviation corps during the war and
has made a continuous study of the
development of the industry, declared
j that his bill not only would take tire
I air mail out of politics but also would
guarantee to the public adequate ser
vice and reasonable rates for both
passengers and freight without re
tarding development of the industry.
Democratic leaders generally view
the measure as a happy solution of
the air mail problem. They declare
that enactment of the bill not only
would preclude possibility of the Re
publicans making capital of cancel)
tion of air mail contracts, but would
in addition greatly strengthen the
Democratic party by putting the en
tire air mail problem in the hands of
a non-partisan commission, thus salt 1
guarding the interests of both public
and carriers.
It is proposed that original terms
of members of the federal aviation
commission be for two, three, four,
five and six years, successors to be
chosen for terms of six years and not
more than three members of the com
mission to be from the same political
party.
The commission would be empow
ered and directed to fix and detei..line
as soon as practical reasonable ra'ets
and compensation for transportation
of passengers, mail and property by
aircraft.
IMPROVE SYSTEM
Pending the fixing of air mail com
pensation by the commission, carriers
would receive a percentage of the
postage of air mail actually carried.
Temporary certificates of convenience
and necessity would be granted all
operators of routes 250 miles or more
in length. This would include the so
called “independent” and retain iriact
all present routes until the commis
sion had an opportunity to study and
conduct public hearings.
The measure makes unlawful the
sale or lease of certificates or acqui
sition of control of another carrier
without hearing and consent of the
commission. This also applies to is
suance of securities and the holding of
office or directorship by one individ
ual in more than one aviation com
pany.
Going still further, the Wood hi!'
provides complete regulation of every
phase of the aviation industry for the
mutal protection of both public and
the carrier. The commission would
regulate services and charges, arbi
trate disputes between companies and
their employees, issue certificates ot
public convenience and necessity am
be responsible for valuation of the
properties of aviation companies.
Its proponents declare that the pub
lic would be protected in every par
ticular.
It is expected that hearings before
the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce will be opened
within two weeks. The bill would be
come effective 60 days from the date
of its passage.

Opposition Question
Still is Foremost
In Georgia Politics
Take all of the rumors, prophesic t
and expert opinions and try to un
scramble them, so as to tell heads
fi >m tails in the Georgia political
situation, and the following emerges
as the safest and most nearly certain
analy is that can be made.
The chances are 1,000 to 1 that
Governor Talmadge WILL have oppo
sition.
From the Talmadge camp conus
confident verbal declarations that
there will he no opposition, while pro-
Talntadgo forces and newspapers pre
dict and plead for only one name on
the gubernatorial ticket. The Gover
nor's supporters declare no one dares
oppose the incumbent. From the ranks
of thorn opposed to Talmadge come
declarations, likewise verbal, that the
Talmadge people ate obviously en
deavoring to f reate the conviction
over the state that no one dares to
oppose the incumbent, while they fig
uratively are trembling in their boo
with fear.
Talmadge people say that opposi
tion would be political suicide for
whoever might run and his opponents
indicate that it won’t be long before
the opposition leaders will center on
someone individual to carry their
banner with all anti Talmadge leaders
supporting him.
Talmadge people are repairing their
fences with resolutions of endorse
ment of the governor adopted by var
ious organizations in the expectation
of thus increasing the governor’
strength.
In the meantime, the opposition
forces are getting nearer and nearet
to agreement on the man who is to
carry their sbanner, d/>glaring that’
their candidate will have the unquali
fied and unanimous support of all
those who have been so prominently
mentioned as possible candidates.
Some of them think that the gover
nor's lieutenants may endeavor to give
the appearance of lack of unity in the
opposition camp by putting into the
race some independent candidate just
strong enough to split the anti-Tal
madge vote and muddy the waters.
At present the fact remains there
is officially only one candidate for
Governor of Georgia, and that is Eu
gene Talmadge, whose entrance fee
was paid during the past week.
Columbus Roberts of Columbus has
qualified for the race for commission
er of agriculture, while Secretary ot
State John B. Wilson, Attorney Gen
eral M. J. Yeomans, State School
Superintendent M. D. Collins and
State. Treasurer George B. Hamilton
have qualified as candidates to suc
ceed themselves.
