“A nation is made great by the moral

SEPARATE POLLS
It is alleged that Governor Thompson,
attempting to find an excuse for sponsor¬
ing segregating Negroes at the polls, has
said, “some persons apparently want a ra¬
cial problem. They seek to promote strife
for purely political purposes.” It seems
to us the governor is getting dangerously
close to what Talmadge advocates. We
have never liked this in Mr. Thompson.
He himself wanted a white primary law,
but he wanted a different one from that
passed by the Talmadge legislature. It
appears now that he only wanted segregat¬
ed polls.
We do not like the idea. We do not
like segregation because it usually means
discrimination. It has been difficult to
set up separate but equal facilities for Ne¬
groes. White people just don’t do that.
There will surely be something different.
We can not believe Mr. Thompson wants
segregated polls because of his interest in
the welfare of Negroes, and yet in all can¬
dor we can imagine what may happen al
polling places in the backwoods where both
races use the same noils. Very probably,
Mr. Thompson is making a bid for voters
who do not want to go all the way out for
white supremacy. There are a few of
these, but judging by the number of those
who protested against the “white primary
law” at the hearing on that law before the
state senate committee, there is strong
likelihood that the voters will be split three
ways. We believe Mr. Thompson is plac¬
ing the game poorly. We are not certain
that he can win as a compromise candi¬
date.
Aside from increasing the cost of elec¬
tions, separate voting polls raise the ques¬
tion as to who will be the managers at the
polls for Negroes. There is a lot of inter¬
esting and complicating possibilities con¬
nected with separating the polls.
T.-R. SEAL SALE CAMPAIGN
The local Tuberculosis Association is
preparing to launch its annual seal-sale
campaign. The purposes of the campaign
are to educate the public about tuberculo¬
sis as a dread disease thT can be prevent¬
ed and cured, and to raise funds to carry
on the fight of the association. The cam¬
paign therefore is as much one of educa¬
tion as it is a money raising campaign.
There are some challenging facts about
tuberculosis which should be known by
every person in this and every other com-
munity. It will bear repeating that people
who "H” have nave tuberculosis nunuuumm spread it through
careless coughing, spitting and sneezing,
thus letting loose a shower of deadly germs

INTERESTING MEETING
The Woman's Society o
Christian Service of the Savan¬
nah conference of the Metho¬
dist church convened in its 7th
annual session in King Solomon
Methodist church. Waycross.
An unusual number of wom¬
en interested in missionary
work was present. The theme
“Children, the Hope of the
Coming of 'the Kingdom.” p
v&ded the sessions.
We were favored with the
presence of District Supts. Gra¬
ham and Strickland of the Sa¬
vannah conference and District
Supt. Huff of the S. C. confer¬
ence. Rev. Harkness and Rev
Collins, the host pastor, render¬
ed service at various tim^s
Mesdames Smith, Odum and
Thompson attended the school
of missions at Gulfside.
An executive meeting was
held Wednesday afternoon when
topics of interest were discuss- i

| hardy and are able to live outside the body
on towels, ,» dishes 1*1* and ]]■ dust particles. i l «
Healthy people pick' them up through
breathing them in, or by getting them in-
f 0 their mouths.
One of the tragic things about it is that
many people, who look healthy and believe
they are, have the germs latent in their
bodies. They are ripe for the kill the mo¬
ment their bodies become weakened. At
least a half million people at this very
moment are afflicted with tuberculosis,
and if the record runs true to form 55,000
of them will die of the disease.
An urgent part of the associations’ pro-
is that of early diagnosis—finding
ou t early if an individual has the disease.
This is one of the most important projects
association because it has been dis-
covered that the disease can be cured if i
found out early and if the victim is given
the proper care. It is because of this
knowledge that interested persons and agen¬
cies believe that tuberculosis can be erad¬
icated with the hearty support of the pub¬
lic.
Another fact which the association wants
the public to know is that tuberculosis takes j
the lives of more young people between
the ages of 20 to 35 than any other disease.
Every person in Chatham County should
buy Christmas Seals this year according
to his ability to buy, and thus help to raise

THE URGENCY OF FOOD
CONSERVATION
The United States of America is the most
powerful and wealthiest nation in the world.
of the war when Britain was struggling to'
keep its life lines open and with its back
to the wall fighting off the breast of Ger¬
man invasion, the United States came to
'he rescue. It threw all of its resources
into the task of providing the Allies with
needed material. It built its armed forces
up to the highest point they have ever
'•eached, as regards both numbers and ef-
iciency, by means of which the Allies de¬
feated the Axis dictators and crushed their
imbitions. All of this placed America in
the position of world leadership, and by
he same token places upon it the tremer.
lous responsibility of taking the lead in
helping to rehabilitate stricken Europe.
Just as we did during the war, just as
he American people pooled their energies
md resources, so they must and will rise
'o their duty and save Europe from star¬
vation and communism. In the campaign
o conserve food, the President proposes;
H) that Americans eat no meat on Tu’s-,
lays; ( 2 ' that they eat no poultry
m Thursdays; (3) that they save a slice
’f bread every day; and (4* that restau¬
rants serve bread and butter only on order.
f American solvency depends on feeding
Europe, then we must feed Europe. Little
