WHY COTTON STAMPS
The Supplementary Cotton Pro
gram will attack the cotton supply
problem at both end*-—the production
end and the consumption end, Claude
R. Wlckard, secretary of agriculture,
reminds us. In return for reduction
below 1941 acreage allotments or 1940
measured acreage if that is lower,
cotton producers will receive stamps
which they can exchange for cotton
clothing and other articles made of
cotton. Families that qualify for cot
ton stampsp will also be eligible for
additional payments for production
and preservation of foods which will
contribute to better diet and reduce
the necessity for caHh expenditures.
In addition, cotton producers will be
able to reduce plantings by any
amount in 1941 and still receive full
coneorvation in porlty payments thru
the AAA.
THAT SPRING GARDEN
Are you planting a spring garden
this season? If you are, be sure to
make it profitable by using good soil,
good seed, good fertilizer and control
garden insects and diseases. If you
plant something in the garden every
week during the year, you will
something to eat from that garden
every week. Vegetables can be grown
at home for much less than it will
cost to buy them and the quality and
health value are much higher. It will
also pay to save seed from the gard
en crop for next season's planting
wherever possible. Store these in
small containers, properly labeled.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, D C.
April 1, 1941
Dear Director Mcßntee:
Please convey to the officials anti
enrolled men of the Civilian Conser
vation Corps my hearty congratulat
ions on the fine record the CCC has
made over eight years it has been
in operation.
Ae you well know, the Civilian
Conservation Corps was created on
April 6, 1933 to perform distinctly
civilian tasks of alleviating distress
caused by unemployment and to ad
vance a nationwide program for the
conservation and development of
such vital physical resources as tim
ber and top soil. In these fiella, the
Corps has been a notable success.
1 am imtpressed by official figures
showing that more than 2,500,000
young men and war veterans who
have worked in the OCC lamps have
preserved and developed natural re
source assets of untold value. These
impressive official figures show that
enrollcs, hundreds of thousands of
whom had their first work experience
in the wholesome atmosphere of the
outdoor OCC camps, have planted
close to 2,600,000,000 trees for re
forestation and erosion control; built
118,000 miles of truck trails and
minor roads; constructed 84,000
miles of telephone lines; helped to
introduce soil conservation on 20,000.-
000 acres of farm and range lands
and tremendously Increased recreat
ional facilities and the effectiveness
of our forest fire fighting machinery.
The Corps is a builder of the kind
of men this nation needs. Its pro
gram. based on such tested funda-
Kientals as good moral character,
hard work, high work pertofmnnee
standards, thorough training on the
job. physical hardihood, active citi
zenship and love of country, has ben-e
fited and improved the health and
usefulness of a sizeable portion of
this country's youth population The
young men who profit by the oppor
tunities available In the Corps wiil be
well fitted to serve the nation’s pres
ent need for ihe cooperation of (very
citizen.
Very sincerely yours,
KIiANKIiIN 1). ROOSEVELT
Honorable James J. McEntee,
Director,
Civilian Conservation Corps,

SOUTHERN MEMORIAL DAY
Time has erased all sectional
boundary lines In the United States.
Today we honor as patriotic Ameri
cans the hrave men of the South who
in all the wars of the Republic, fought
for the same principles of liberty and
justice that are being so seriously
threatened now throughout the world
May we draw present courage and
inspiration from the memories of our
heroic dead.
The Department of Public Safety
says that accidents don’t "happen”
they are caused. More caution and
greater courtesy will prevent 99 per
cent of them.
I*aet year 55,000 persons were kill
ed in traffic accidents in this nation
524 of them in Georgia. The Depart
ment of Public Safety says speed too
fast for conditions was responsible
for more than half of those deaths.
The Country Preacher
-By-
Rev. Newton Wise
Many times when the routine of
work becomes rather pressing, I like
to get away on a hike with a boy. I
find that the boy is open minded,
clean, honest. He is sincerely trying
to do his best and when he fails, h;
has a deep sense of guilt The real
boy may appear light and frivilous
but in reality be is deep and has a
heart of gold. Have you ever heard
c boy pray? Well I have a prayer of
a boy:
"Teach me the art of manliness
that I may command the respect of
my fellowmen.
Teach me to understand truth and
love of mankind and find joy in the
companionship of all.
Equip me with the tools of learning
so that 1 shall not feel strung; in
new places but rightfully ‘ake my
place 111 doing the work of the world.
Help me to build a sound body and
a clean mind to oe free of spirit, con
quering evils and worlds of bitter
ness, acquiring real success.
Teach me to use my leisure time
that the beauty and charm of life
will help me to understand better the
works of the Almighty and bring me
pleasure in doing good to other men.
Teach me to appreciate the beauti
ful ill nature that I may know God's
gie>; outdoors, that I may kow song
and art and the cultured ircoirplish
rae; ts of my kind
Show me the beauty and the com
fort of the home; strengthen me with
an understanding heart that 1 will be
considerate of and work ambitiously
with all men.
Help me to rise from the waters
of inexperience to the rainbow land
of knowldge with courage—to banish
all temptations giving me the power
to do that which is honorable and
right.
And then show me the necessity of
work. Work that builds a temple of
faith, and good will. Work that Is
gladly done for the advancement of a
just cause from which man may en
joy the fruits of life.”
This is a great prayer and one that
every boy really prays with meaning
whether or not he uses thes words.
I also have the prayer of a real lead
•er of boys. Perhaps he is a scout
master or perhaps he is a teacher.
He may even be a preacher:
“I am some hoy’s inspiration, Help
me to look well to my source of light.
I am some boy’s guide. Help me to
watch my step.
I am some boy’s model. Help me,
to be worthy.
I am some boy's instructor, help
me to let knowledge lead me aright.
Help me to learn, observe and ser
ve.
I am some boys counsellor, May
wisdom be my guide.
I am some boys health advisor—
Help me to keep my body clean.
I am some hoy’s play director—
Help me to have cheer in my heart,
laughter in my lips, sparkle in my
eye and grace in my step.
I am some boy’s disciplinarian,
Help me to have poise, patience, self
restraint. Mastery over self must be
mine.
I am some boys spiritual leader.
May be love of God always light my
life.
I am next to parent in some boy’s
life. Master of life. Help me to have
strength and devotion to my task.”
