Cotton Reduction
Forms Should Be
Signed Immediately
Most of the emphasis on the Supple
rnent,ary Cotton Program has been iu
connection with the issuance of cot
ton stamps for voluntary reductions
made in their 1941 plantings. How
ever, there is another important fea
ture of the 1041 Supplementary Cot
ton Program .according to T. R. Breed
love, AAA Administrative Officer.
This feature relates to the effect
of underplanting 1041 allotments on
cotton allotments for future years.
All Georgia farmers who plan to un
derplant their 1941 Tripte-A cotton
allotments and desire to retain their
allotments in 1942 and subsequent
years should indicate their intention
of underplanting their 1941 allotment
with their county committees.
"Those who fail to indicate their
intentions of reducing on a form av
ailable in the county office may have
their allotments substantially reduced
next year,” Mr. Breedlove said. There
Is no penalty for failing to reduce
the amount indicated. However, very
farmer should sign the intention form
as an insurance feature against los
ing his allotment even though he does
not expect to qualify fo rcotton stamp
Accidents and Defense
With defense activities stepping up
travel in general, traffic accidents
never presented as grave a problem
as they do today.
Naturally the highways are more
than ordinarily crowded with huge
army convoys transporting troops,,
from one end of the state to the other
Soldiers who have cars, or who can
borrow or rent them, go by motor to
spend their leaves with friends and
relatives and the latter in turn use
motor travel to visit the soldiers in
camp.
Moreover, the upward trend in in
dustry has increased our national
incomie with the result that motor
vehicle and gasoline sales ore on the
increase.
National Safety Council reminds us
that “every accident slows down de
fense” and surely at this critical time
America has greater need for man
power and property than to spoil
them recklessly on the streets and
highways.
The Georgia Department of Public
Safety advises drivers and pedestrian
that two things will keep the acci
dent rate at a minimum and neglect
of them will surely send it soaring.
They are (1) faithful observance of
the rules of safety and (2) courtesy
toward the other driver or to the
pedestrain.
Surely these are a small price to
pay for so great a result. Our own
local police officers and the Slate
Patrol join in an unanimous appeal
to the driving and walking public to
use more caution and courtesy.
And the News makes the appeal
that we Georgians ease Uncle Sam's
national defense headache all we can
by putting the lid on our traffic acci
dents.

Legal Beer Observes
Eighth Anniversary;
Tax Boon To Georgia
Two Billionth Tax Dollar Rung Up
For Uncle Sam by Industry; Geor
gia Benefits Total $5,418,606 in
Six Years
April 7th was the eighth anniver
sary of legal beer, an important stimu
lant to business and an important
taxpayer which has built farreaching
economic and other benefits extend
ing into every state in the union. It
has aided employment, sales of farm
products and manufacturing, and has
given to general business benefits
estimated to exceed thirteen billion
dollars.
Since April 7, 1933, when beer was
re-legalized by Act of Congress, the
industry paid more than $2,000,000,-
000 ’to the federal government and
$800,000,000 to the various states in
direct taxes and license fees. A sub
stantial part of this revenue goes for
national defense, much of the rest to
social and other public improvements
In Georgia, where beer is approach
ing its silth anniversary, having been
legalized on May 23, 1935, the brew
ing industry has poured a total of
$5,418,606.07 into the coffers of the
state government. This sum, all of
which has been used for the purchase
of free school books for Georgia chil
dren, represents state beer excise tax
es and state license fees only. It does
not include a large total paid to city
and county government for wholesale
and retail license fees.
The eighth anniversary of beer
finds the brewing industry with a
well advanced program for alignment
with the public interest, the promo
tion of moderation in drinking and
the protection of its product from
abuses.
The educational program, sponsor
ed by the United Brewers Industrial
Foundation, is nation-wide. Its inten
sive application is now organize 1 in
fourteen states to “clean up or close
up” the minority ot retail
merits whtjih violate the laws or
which permit unwholesome conditions
to exist where beer is sold.
This self-regulation activity in Geor
gia is carried on by the Brewers and
Beer Distributor;; CommUtce of Geor
gia, nnder the leadership of Judge
John S. Wood, state director. Since
its organization early in 1940, the
committee has conducted investiga
tions of more than 2,000 retail outlets
in all parts of the state, has sent 250
letters to mailers, walrning them
against various violations, and has
been responsible for the revocation,
by the State Revenue Department, of
the licenses held by 39 dealers who
refused to abandon their anti-social
practices
Beer is sold legally in every state,
and supplies and equipment for the
industry are purchased from every
state. Beer is manufactured by about
550 breweries located in 39 states.
BULLETIN ON CANNING
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE
RELEASED THIS WEEK
“Guide in Canning For Home and
National Defense” is the title of a
16-page bulletin No. 478 which was
released this week by the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service. It
was written by Miss Katherine Lan
ier, Extension Food and Utilization
Specialist.
In addition to some general infor
mation on canning, the bulletin con
tains a number of recipes including
methods of canning vegetables, fruits
jams and jellies.
The bulletin discusses the need for
home produced and canned food sup
ply, budgeting the canned food sup
ply needed for the non-producing sea
son, the famliy pantry shelf, varieties
of vegetables to be canned and the
amount needed per person, in addi
tion to some information on storing
the food supply and a guide to home
canning.
The bulletin should be of particular
value at this time when special ef
forts are being made throughout the
nation to boost the defense program
by increasing the food conservation
in this country.
In her bulletin, Miss Lanier says:
“It has been pointed out that the
weakest link in our food defense pro
gram lies not in the army mess halls,
but rather at the American dining
table,”
Copies of the canning bulletin may
be obtained from the home demtonstra
tion or county agent in every county
in the state.

Executive Declares
Petroleum Pipeline
Would Cut Gas Price
R. T. Haslem, vice-president of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
said in Washington, recently, that the
building of Go-soline pipelines in the
South would make gasoline cheaper
to the consumers in the section ~erv
ed.
Hasleni’s statements were fled with
a house interstate commerce sub
committee on petroleum. He denied
| the claims of railroad spokesmen that
any savings southern pipelines caus
ed would only benefit the oil com-
panics.
The Standard Oil Company ol New
Jersey along with other major oil
companies have formed two compan
tes to construct and operate pipelines
in the South. One, the Plantation
Pipe Line Company is planned to run
from Baton Rouge, La., to Greens
boro, N. C., and the other the South
eastern Pipe Line, from Port St. Joe.
Florida, to Chattanooge, Tennessee.
Georgia proved a stumbling block
for both lines, when the Georgia legis
lature refused to grant the r-ght of
eminent domain for such construction
Haslem’s assertion said that Penn
sylvania’s experience had shown the
erro'vjAjiinternets by railroad men
that ’ffey ’h&vrtlfcs would afteefc the oij
companies alone.
He said, "It is not only true that
reduced transportation costs, brought
about by the introduction of pipe
lines, reduces within a reasonable
period of time the price of gasoline,
but it is also true that the same re
sult follows any transportation meth
od at lower cost than the existing
one.”

set for our churches in Georgia.
