Cumming, Georgia THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS Established 1908 Circulation over Forsyth, Fulton, Chero kee, Dawson, Lumpkin, Hall and Gwinnett Counties THE PAPER THAT APPRECIATES YOUR PATRONAGE Published Every Thursday at Cumming, Oeorgla. Roy P. Otwell Editor and Owner James L. Reeves Associate Editor T. W. Gunter Associate Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICE PER YEAR IN ADVANCE $1.50 Entered at the Post Office at Cumming, Georgia August 10, 1910, as mall matter of second class Advertising Itates Made Known Upon Application OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY AND CITY OF CUMMING NOTES AND COMMENT Our two-year plan calls for a vegetable garden next year. Children often try the patience of their parents and vice versa. The unfolding of truth is rarely assisted by men who know It all. If words were acts there would be no problems left to be solved. , 1 Trade Hint: There seems to be something of a glut In the ball-pen market. Education will help people but It is not the ans wer to every personal problem. "Live slow, play slow,” advises a physician who evidently forgot current prices. Our Monthly Piece of Advice: Drive slower than ever and live longer than you might. A case in court is not only expensive to both sides but it is long-drawn out affair. It’s tough on brain-trusters, socalled; they suf fer from heart trouble more than other guys. Money has made people forget that trade is barter and that wealth is to be found in goods. War Is not likely in the near future but, then again, it might sneak up on the United States. It may slound strange to some business tycoons but you can’t make men work by passing laws. Few readers realize how much stuff the average newspaper prints as a public service feature. No American citizen should be a partisan of any other country or cause; in brief, we need no hyphenated citizens. If you want to know what has happened to the cost of living look up some record! about fourteen years old. We have no objection to the effort to improve the human race but the process seems to be slow at-work. With the world in need of food it is good to know that American wheat growers have a bumper crop in sight. When you plan your vacation trip you might as well plan to have the Forsyth County News follow you. The world has any number of otherwise smart people who are chonicallv against whatever is pro posed. s Economists tell us that many war initiated en terprise are dropping out of the race to get the buy ers’ money. The banner of tolerance is often at the head of the parade of those who want more than tolerance. Almost every human being is ready to “do something” for the unfortunate; the something, how ever, often varies. Despite our optimism we are a bit suspicious of the fellow who is doing something for our good and at his expense. It is surprising how little a politician has to do for a man to make him believe that the legislator is indispensable. What has become of the economic expert who said that abolition of price controls would be follow ed by lower prices? Mass movements tend to make modem man, despite all the talk about the sanctity of the indi vidual, a rubber-stamp unit. It is very difficult for an individual, or the indi viduals composing a group, to study the past long enough to discover mistakes. In 2500 B. C. Egytian girls reddened their nails; this shows that the modem miss has caught up with the earlier civilization. The end of the world, when it arrives, will find some people busy telling the rest of the human race what Is the matter with them. The land of the free is fast, becoming the place where minorities, organized and aggressive, are tell ing the majority what must be done. The industrial development of Cumming de pends, in the long run, upon what the people of Cumming do with their surplus cash. 11 RED CROSS SUCCESS The American Red Cross announces that its drive for $60,000,000 has been met by contributions of more than $75,000,000. The percentage of over subscription, it Is said, exceeds that of any campaign in wartime or since. Naturally, Harvey D. Gibson, National Chairman of the campaign, is gratified and concludes that “the American people are congi zant of the organization's post-war responsibilities.” It seems 3,000 of the 3,746 domestic chapters ex ceeded their goals with others getting above quotas every day. Some 17,000,000 Americans contributed to the Red Cross, thus assuring the nation that its program of health education, assistance to veterans and their families, disaster relief and services to the armed forces will continue. NARROWLY MISSED DEATH Just to show the uncertainty of life, we call at tention to the experience of a young woman, a col lege senior, who narrowly missed death the other day when an unknown man suddenly pushed her in front of a subway train in a New York station. The girl, talking with friends, was hurled to the track by the man, who stepped up behind her and pushed her onto the roadbed. Fortunately, the train was proceeding under caution lights and track work ers picked her up about the time the engineer brough the train to a stop. The assailant, it seems, was released from a mental hospital about two years ago "as recovered and harmless” but. as a magistrate pointed out, he was a man roaming around and endangering the lives of other persons. His doctor said that his pat ient never showed dangerous tendencies but he ad mitted that certain tendencies might develop at any time. NO PROSPECT "Satisfactory political and economic relations are not possible as long as the Franco regime re mains in power,” declares the State Department, in denying that loans or credits are being considered to Spain. It seems that Spanish newspapers, taking cog nizance of the assistance proposed for Greece and Turkey, suggested that in view of General Franco’s anti-communism, there might be a prospect of American assistance for Spain.
