Air. W. It. Wood, of Dawson, l'di-j Last week Methodist pastors at-
tor of an interesting weekly column
in the Atlanta Journal conducted in I
the iterest of the Rural Letter Car-
Tiers of Georgia, gives the following
interesting account of the Third Dis
trict meeting attended by a large
number of carriers from Taylor
county:
Never in the history pf the Third
District Rural Letter Carriers* As
sociation has a fore interesting and i
entertaining meeting been held than j
cmmuuuM* mctu * as assembly dean. Miss Lucy-
on Alay 30 this year. With the rural
carriers of Harris, Muscogee, Chat
tahoochee, Stewart and Marion coun
ts hosts, the Recreation building at
Pine Mountain Valley was the scene
of the meeting. The meeting was
called to order by G. A. Wilson and
after the invocation by Rev. B. M.
Kotchorsid, pastor of the community
church, a cordial welcome was ex
tended by W. (Tap) Bennett, project
manager of Pine Mountain Valley.
On behalf of the postal employes,
Postmaster N. J. Thompson extended
a welcome, and for the Ladies* Aux
iliary Mrs. J. E. Storey of Shiloh
graciously welcomed the visitors.
.Responses to the welcome addresses
were made by Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Woods of Dawson. Tap dances by
Miss Ruth Chappelear and members
of her dancing class at Pine Moun
tain Valley and MissMarjorie Tread
well and a reading by Miss Earline
Laldwin were pleasing numbers on
the day’s program. Greetings from
the Columbus Enquirer-Sun were
Lroght by genial Ben Vig.
The high light of the morning's
program was an address by Judge
Geo. C. Palmer, of Columbus, who
sensing the thought uppermost in
the minds of thinking people today
made a masterly talk on war con
ditions in which he denounced Hitler
and Stalin and contrasted conditions
in Europe with the freedom enjoyed
in tlie United States. “Rural Free
Delivery of Mail,” the speaker de
clared, “is the greatest intellectual
step ever made by the United States
an dthe service is a wonderful bene
faction to mankind.” Because of this
medium, Judge Palmer further said,
people in the rural areas are inform
ed of world conditions and keep
abreast of the times.
The speaker warned that “it is j
time for us to sit up and take no- !
tice,” because he said, unless a |
•change comes, the Alies are licked
“and we are next.” The ominous note
was sounded that “we are worse pre-
Tarde foi war than in 1914.” At the
conclusion of Judge Palmer's address
members of the Rural Letter Car
riers’ Association and Auxiliary as
sembled in their respective business
sessions, at the close of which a
joint memorial service for deceased
members was held. -
R. A. Long was elected president
of the R. L. C. A.; J. L. Andrews,
vice president and R. M. Turner, sec
retary-treasurer.
Auxiliary ocicers were re-elected
as follows: Mrs. L. W. Lowrey, pres
ident; Mrs. Jewell M. Levie, vice-
president, and Mrs. C. S. Sawyer,

Columbus, June 8.—Ft. Penning
took on new life Saturday following
the arrival of hundreds of college
hoys who will he members of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps.
Most of the trainees, from colleges
of the Fourth Corps Area, traveled
by private automobile, and whether
it was jalopy of the latest stream
lined roadsters, it was packed with
hilarious boys as it pulled into an
army post.
There was a noisy hustle and bus
tle as the boys set up house-keeping
six to a tent, tried on their new un
iforms and checked over theor new
equipment. Physical examinations
were not finished until Saturday. As
these students will receive commis
sions in the Officers' Reserve Corps
on their graduation next year, the
physical examinations were rigid.
Col. S. R. Hopkins, camp com
mander, said the student body was
of a high order. He said it included a

V. G. GAINER KILLED
AS CAR HITS TRUCK
Atlanta, June 6—Eugene Talmadge
Thursday called Abit Nix the ap
proved “sales tax” candidate of Gov.
E. D. Rivers and House Speaker
Roy Harris and Abit Nix promptly
challenged the ex-governor to enter
the gubernatorial contest “so the
people can again dust him off.”
Addresing a tomato festival
throng at Pelham, Talmadge said
Harris had been seeking a candidate
“suited to him and Ed Rivers to con
tinue the . . . program of the state
administration. He got him yester
day in the person of Abit Nix who
will help them put across a sales
tax and any other additional taxes
they want.”
At Athens Nix declared “Gene
Talmadge is a hack number. 1 would
like nothing better than to fight it
cut with him so that the complete
record of his miserable mal-adminis-
tration of state affairs can be
brought liefore the people for their
final repudiation. Talmadge knows
if he does finally generate enough
nerve to enter the primary, I am
the man he's got to beat.”
Talmadge told his audience that
last week “two emissaries from Roy
Harris' hotel room came to me with
the proposition that if 1 promised
tc support Roy Harris for speaker
of the house, Roy Harris would sup
port me and he would keep Abit Nix
out of the race. I may announce lat
er and if I do I will tell more of the
backstage scenes of the . . . crowd in
the capitol trying to hold on.”
The former chief executive was
cescribed by Nix as “a man hounded
by the knowledge of his terrible
treatment of the insane, of the
school children, the old people and
the dependent children and all oth
ers not backed by the power of
wealth or a political machine.”

Atlanta, June 10.—Thousands of
Georgia drivers are going to be
forced to stand rigid driving exami
nations this summer because they
procrastinate about renewal of their
licenses.
Only a few hundred are taking
advantage of the chance to renew
licenses before June 30 without the
driving test. This means thousands
will attempt the last minute rush,
swamping the Public Safety De
partment. Thousands will fail to
make it under the deadline.
Take it from Safety Commission
er Lon Sullivan—there isn't going
to be any extension of the June 30
deadline this year.
In an attempt to speed up renew
als, the department even offers over
the counter service at the Capitol
auto tag window and at 959 Confed- [
crate Ave.
Those applying by mail should |
give correct return addresses, Maj.
Sullivan warns. Nearly 3,000 new li
censes are unclaimed at present be
cause of this lack of sufficient mail-1
ing address.

To those whose applications for
Old Ago Assistance, .Aid to the Blind
and Aid to Dependent Children have
never yet been considered, we would
like to say that these applications
have not yet been considered be
cause there are no funds. No new
cases have been put on the list since
April, 1930, when, due to lack of
funds, 90 active cases were suspend
ed from the Public Assistance roll.
All but 18 of these 90 cases have
been reinstated or therwise disposed
of. As soon as the other 18 have
been considered, there will be room
for a few new cases, probably one a
month. We do not believe, however,
that there will be room for new
I cases before 1041, at which time we
j hope that provision will be made by
l the General Assembly to care . for
all those in the awaiting file, (216
at present).
Therefore, do not get discouraged
or think that your application has
been overlooked. Every application
will be given a thorough investiga
tion, put before the board, and acted
upon as soon as we have available
funds. It will not be necessary to in-1
vestigate the case before funds are *
available.
