DIVORCE QUESTION
Not only is there no restrictions
on the sales of tin cans for home
canning, but the War Production
Board urges the home canner to
double the output of 1941.
Americans have had an abund
ance of everything so long that it
gives many of them the jitters to
even hear that they are going to
be denied something that they
have been accustomed to having.
J. E. Baynard, editor and pub
lisher of the Hawkinsville Dispatch
and News and the Baxley News-
Banner during the last eight years,
has accepted a job at the Wellston
Air Depot as' junior instructor in
the vocational training office.
Dr. Bascom Anthony, well known
and greatly beloved Methodist
minister, in a recent public address
closed his remarks with this im
pressive thought: “I would not be
a party to the lynching of Hitler,
but I would be a cheerful pall
bearer."
The editors of country weeklies
are bombarded with a lot of propa
ganda and often they wish they
could scrutinize the men behind it
with their own eyes. But they must
stay home to keep an eye on the
printing press and see that the in
come equals the outgo.
More and more the horrows of
war are being brought closer and
closer to the hearts and homes.
While thousands of Americans will
never return home alive, among
such a number are some of our
own greatly beloved youths as in
the case of the two Pittman boys
of this county reported missing
Did you ever see a woman throw
a brick at a chicken? It is just lots
of fun—for the chicken. The wom
an usually hits herself on the foot
and gqts so mad she can hardly
talk straight, while the chicken
holds its head to one side, softly
clucks and looks as though it won
dered what under the sun the fuss
all meant, anyway.
The Anniston Star discusses
home wrecking:
"Who's responsible for most dl
vorces, the husband or the wife?"
That's a question that has brought
on innumerable arguments, but In
Alabama at least we know who is
the most likely to become dlssatis
fled with marriage—the woman.
"The State Health Department
has just completed a study of 1940
divorces which showed that o| the
4,41? 1 divorces granted in that year
3,046 were granted to complaining
wives. One was granted in which
both husbatid find wife W6ie^com
plainants, and 15 iri'which jho, in
formation was available' (as,'.to
whether the complainants' were
husbands or wives.
•*We already envisage the bar
rage of ridicule which the good
ladies are going to hurl at the
abdVe figures. Their argument will
be: ‘Certainly the women brought
most of the divorce suits, but it
was the men who forced them to
do it, the brutes!’ and so on, far
into the night.
“But the men can rest their case
on the figures. Figures don't lie.
Or do they?" *
PREMIUM HOGS
The Talbot county grand jury
last week set a fine precedent in
the following recommendation:"We
go on record as favoring that the
power of pardoning criminals be
placed in the hands of a pardoning
board, rather than in the power
of the Governor, as at present; and
that a copy of this resolution be
sent to the State Legislature from
Talbot county, and to the State
Senator from this district."
Wartime stories are repeated by
Olin Miller: Lamar Roberts arose
on Monday morning and came into
his mother's bedroom to build a
fire. He felt the injustice of arising
at such an hour and expressed
himself: “Mother, that blankety-
blank moon is still shining.” “No,
Lamar, that isn't the moon—that's
yesterday's sun going down,” Sara
replied—Blanche Jones, ' in the
North Georgia Tribune (Canton).
By Eugene Anderson in the
Macon Telegraph
It's in the feeding, Mrs. G. C.
Smith of Butler finds in two ex
periments with hogs. Her husband
is a noted hog grower, but he finds
his wife can so feed them they
bring better prices. She made such
success with one group he wanted
to prepare for market he gave her
some pigs as her own. She wanted
to build them into No. 1. and thus
get the highest price, but she fat
tened them too much. They reached
250 pounds, whereas 200 is the lim
it for No. 1. The mistake frightened
her. She had guessed about the
weights as she was feeding, but her
guess was not accurate. She had
no idea the pigs would weigh as
much as 250. What to do was the
next problem. She couldn't afford
to take the pigs back home and
put them on a diet, but that's what
she seriously thought about. Final
ly the market man whispered that
he had made up his mind to give
her the same price as he would
pay for No. 1, and he did, much
to her relief. She was told the hogs
were in as perfect condition as any
that had ever been brought to the
market.
DRIVER'S LICENSES APRIL 1
Georgia family driver's licenses
will go on sale April 1 Instead of
May 1, Major John E. Goodwin,
commisloner of public safety, has
announced.
Goodwin said he was ordering
sales to begin a month early to
make it unnecessary to extend the
June deadline.
Under the family driver's license
initiated last year, the head of the
family pays $1 for his license, his
spouse, 50c and each dependent
child, 25c.
The no-two-pants-suits order will
hardly bother some households we
know. If dad's trousers wear out he
can just borrow Mom's slacks—if
she will be so kind as to have
them made of matching material.
It will be of interest to the
friends of Capt. W. B. Myers, com
manding officer of the old CCC
Camp formerly located near Butler,
to learn that he has been called
to service at Camp Lee, Va. Since
the closing of the Butler Camp
Capt. Myers has served as com
manding officer of a CCC Camp
located near Americus, while he
and his interesting family made
their, home in Ellaville where they
added much to the social interest
of our neighbor city.
We commend the Cordele Dis
patch which carries- in$its mast
head the following most splendid
pledge to its readers and expression
of broad editorial policy: “The
Cordele Dispatch will not be sub
servient to financial, political or
other special interests prejudicial
. to the welfare of the people. The
Cordele Dispatch will always be
independent but never neutral or
indifferent on matters that affect
the interests of the people. The
Cordele Dispatch will endeavor at
times to personify the virtues of
Cordele and Crisp county. The
Dispatch will publish the truth as
it is ascertained. On the masthead
of the Cordele Dispatch will al
ways remain these words, ‘Striving
Daily for Justice, Truth and Mod
oration’."
Back at the editorial helm of the
Fulton County Reporter after an
absence of several weeks, Brown
Tyler asks this pertinent question:
“The President wants to restrict
the price of farm products, but is
opposed to a ceiling on labor Why?
The average price of labor has
risen all out of proportion to the
rise in the price of farm products,
comparing the two 30 years ago.
For 30 years the farmer has been
drifting downward while other ele-
meits in the population have risen
and prospered.”
Reports from the front are dis
tressing. Axis lines in the south
west Pacific are being extended,
cities and countries are being sur
rendered to the Japanese and
some American boys are being
killed and others wounded in ac
tion. But the nation is doing a no
ble part by giving her dead on the
battlefield or on the sea the buri
al of heroes, the best hospitaliza
tion in the history of warfare to
the wounded, and providing pen
sions "for the bereaved families.
While conditions at best are bad
Wha more could be asked under
the circumstances?
The Capitol Avenue Baptist
Church of Atlanta, a church of one
thousand, four hundred and f ifty
members, and greatly interested in
the welfare of our country, has pe
titioned ^Congress to pass the Bill
now pending in the Senate to pro
hibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors in or near the Military and
Defense Camps of our country,
which Bill was introduced by the
late lamented Senator Morris
Sheppard, of Texas, shortly before
his death; and now sponsored by
his successor in the Senate, Sena
tor W. Lee O'Daniel. Senator Shep
pard, remembered as one of the
two co-authors of the Eighteenth
Amendment, prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor, now repealed.
Taylor Farmers Urged
To Disk And Fertilize
Kudzu For Natl. Defense
Comparing neglected stands of
kudzu to unfcoHdctW'' ! su ppljes of
scrap metal on the- term, ; M.'P.
Dearv Soil Conservation: 'technician,
and' tttettiber of the County USDA
War iBoardt said today that bring
ing this kudzu into production is
as important in the Food for Free
dom program as the collection of
scrap metal is for the production of
arms.
In the Food-for-Defense program
Secretary Wickard has called for
the production of 10 billion pounds
more milk this year than was pro
duced in 1941. A plentiful supply of
hay and grazing will be needed to
enable farmers to meet this goal,
just as thousands of tons of scrap
metal will be needed to produce
planes, tanks, guns and ships.
Mr. Dean estimates that there
are some 80 acres of kudzu in Tay
lor county which would yield from
one to two tons of hay per acre this
year if disked and fertilized this
spring before the growth begins. If
left to shift for itself, it will prob
ably take from three to four years
to produce hay.
The application of from 400 to
600 pounds of 16 percent super
phosphate, disked into the ground
just before the growth begins will
stimulate the growth of the kudzu
Mr. Dean explains. Disking gets
rid of weeds and grass, turns up
fresh soil in which the new run
ners can take root. Large vines
that make hay raking difficult are
also cut.
Besides helping farmers to fulfill
their obligations to produce more
food in 1942 than has ever been
produced in the history of agricul
ture, disking and fertilizing neg
lected stands of kudzu will also re
sult in additional crowns for more
plantings next year.
State Gasoline Supply
Ordered Cut 20 Percent;
Stations Open 12 Hours
Washington, March 14.—The War
Production Board today ordered
gasoline supplies for pior.e than
10,000,000 motorists on the. eastern
seaboard, including Georgia and in
the Pacific northwest reduced 20
per cent,, effective March 19.
Approximately 100,066 ' filling
stations in the area were directed
to confine their operations to 12
hours daily and 72 hours, weekly.
The choice as to hours.and days of
operation were left to the individu
al retailers.
The action taken by the WPB Di
rector D. M. Nelson on recommen
dation of Petroleum Co-ordinator
Ickes, was described in 'oil circles
as an intermediate step ''to hold
down gasoline consumption until
cards can be printed to effectuate
a rigid gasoline rationing program
in the Atlantic and Pacific areas.
This, it was said, might require
several weeks.
The eastern area affected em
braces Maine, Vermont,New Hamp
shire, Massachussetts, Rhode Island
Connecticut, New York, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
the District of Columbia, West Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Georgia and Florida east of
the Appalachicola river.
Pacific areas affected are Wash
ington and Oregon.
Ickes, in a statement accompany
ing the announcement, said the oil
industry agreed with him that “it
is clear beyond all argument that
some curtailment in the use of
gasoline for ordinary civilian pur
poses is now necessary.”
