Highway Board Chairman Tells Talmadge That He Will Not Rrsign Atlanta, Oct. 31—Answering Gov ernor-elect Eugene Talmadge's sug gestion that he resign as chairman of the Georgia Highway board, W. L Miller declared Monday he will stick to his post and probably ask the General assembly to enable him to continue in office. Talmadge, in his political publica tion, The Statesman, charged that Miller and other members of the highway board are responsible for a $21,000,000 deficit in the road de partment. The road commissioners “can stoip this ever-increasing debt by resigning today,” the Talmadge paper asserted editorially last night. “Governor Talmadge, probably bet ter than anyone else, knows I'm not responsible for this deficit,” Miller asserted. “It seems quite clear that Mr. Tal madge is setting out to reorganize the highway department,” Miller continued, “and as long as I am able I'll fight to keep .it from being a political football for the executive department. “Lf necessary I'll carry the ques tion to the General Assembly. I'll lay the question squarely before the representatives of the people and let them decide whether the department will be reorganized to become a source of political patronage.” Miller is the only member of the board whose term does not expire this year. He has two more years to serve. Lawson Patten and Herman Watson other highway commissioners, leave office at the outset of the Talmadge administration, which begins in Jan uary . Neither Watson nor Patten had any comment on Governor elect Tal madge's comment.

Woods, of Dawson, Editor) Third District Banquet On Thursday, Oct. 24, the officers and other interested members of the Third district rural letter carriers’ association met in Ellaville for the purpose of selecting a place and set ting a date for holding the annual district banquet. It was thought best to hold the banquet before Christmas this year, so that our congressman might be privileged to meet with us before re turning to his duties in Washington.

Mr. Pace is always on the alert in Washington and will be able to give us first hand information on the cha otic condition in which the world finds itself today. His address alone will be well worth your while in at tending the banquet. Wall in Charge Bro. C. C. Wall of Ellaville is in charge of local arrangements, and a splendid program is being prepared which we believe will be highly en tertaining. The program will be ar ranged in such a way as not to be so overdrawn as to tax the patience of those in attendance. In other words what we plan to have is a short, snappy program, a good dinner and plenty of fun. The dinner will be served by the ladies of Ellaville and the price wil be only 75c per plate. The people of Ellaville are putting forth considerable effort to see that the carriers and their families have an enjoyable and successful meeting so let's evreybody show our apprecia tion for the effort which these good people are putting forth in our behalf and come o the banquet. Why not write C. C. Wall, right now just how many will be in your party? Please do this right now before you lay the paper aside and forget it. Remember, we want to see a large crowd at this banquet, the larger the crowd the better, but in order to know how many to prepare for it is necessary that you let us know how many will be in your party. So, won't you please drop Bro. Wall that card today while it is on your mind? We are going to be expecting every one of you. Please do not disappoint us. R. M. Turner, Sec'y.-Treas., 3rd Dist. R. L.
