THIS IS GRANDPA'S WAR, TOO
From Baltimore Sun:
What has become of the old-age
pension issue which used to sweep
U. S. Senators, Representatives, and
State Legislators Into office every
year? The answer seems to be that
the proponents of various social se
curity plans for men and women of
mature years have by no means
abandoned objectives for which
they have so long contended, but
that exigencies of global Warfare
have eliminated the immediate
need for so great an amount of Gov
ernment assistance.
The point is, this is Grandpa's
War, too. He may have done his
bit in ’98 or in ‘18 but he’s not go
ing to let his grandsons—and his
granddaughters—do It all this time.
So Grandpa Is sticking on the job-
half a million grandpas, in fact.
Social Security Board records at
Washington, indicate that although
approximately 790,000 persons are
eligible for oldage pensions, only
about 288,000 are receiving checks.
Moreover, 20,000 of those Who have
been receiving such pensions have
written in to ask that their names
be removed from the pension rolls,
as they have gone to work in war
industries. That’s Gandpa for you!
There was a time, we grant you,
when Grandpa may have felt frus
trated and bewildered because
there seemed to be no place for him
in the busy world. Youth, youth,
Air mail sent outside continental youth, was the demand of industry

throughout Canada as a day of na

the restriction is due to demands no
existing equipment.
It is- extremely doubtful whether
the Russians will be able to hold
Stalingrad much longer. The Ger
mans apparently are willing to
pay any price for the vital indus
trial center and heavy bombing
raids on Germany do not appear to
have retarded appreciably the flow
of Axis menor material to Southern
Russia.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion announces the arrest of 142
enemy aliens in raids stretching
from Kingston, N. J., to New York
City. It was the second largest sin
gle hand of aliens for the New
York area since Pearl Harbor.
Those arrested were 116 Germans,

and 15 Japanese.

Grandpa has heard ot rugged in
dividualism and perhaps without
realizing it was always his, he is
now proving it to be his immediate
possession.
General Hershey’s warning to
married men without children to
get ready for military service by
Christmas brought the war sudden
ly closer to millions of additional
Americans. So did Manpower Com
missioner McNutt’s reminder to col
lege boys that they are destined for
the armed services.
Eighty-seven dollars is not bad
for a bale of cotton and then $25.00
for the seed, making 112.00 for cot
ton and seed. That beats selling the
cotton for $25 a bale and throwing
the seed away, like farmers did
some years ago. All, or most of us
at least, believe it high time fora
turning of. the tide in the interest
of the farmers. May their interests
ever continue to increase.
The Moultrie Observer relates
The Union Recorder, Milledge-
ville, owned and operated by the
Moores through several generations,
Italians recently celebrated its 112th an
niversary, while the Gainesville
News, edited and published by the
A. S. Hardy family completed its
55th year of most splendid service
to its readers and citizens generally
of that beautiful North Georgia city.
We remember these editors from
our earliest childhood' yyhom to
know is but to love for 'their per
sonal fine qualities and to greatly
appreciate them for the service
they have rendered not ohly to their
respective communities but to
Georgia as a whole.

COLUMBUS JUDGE CLAIMS
RECORD; 1,560 WEDDINGS
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 6—At least
a sectional record as a "marrying
judge” was claimed Friday for
Judge Solon M. Davis, of Municipal
Court, as he "hitched” his 1,560th
couple since assuming the bench
17 years ago.
The current year already has sur
passed any since 1925 in cermonies
performed by the judge, with 137
knots tied since January. Previous
high was the boom year of 1926
with 126.
Judge Davis says he has never
used the word "obey” in a cere
mony. Always it is "love, honor and
cherish.”

Atlanta Dental College, that Doc

This scribe feels very much grati

Doctor’s fjrst customer and a con
tinuous one for both himself and

good day. The Doctor is numbered
among the best informed and
highest rating members of his pro
fesslon in the state and keeps
abreast with modern methods in
dentistry as they are presented by
colleges and men high in the pro
fession. He takes much interest in
the state-wide organization of
Dentists and is chairman of the
district convention* of dentists. Dr.
Garrett together with Mrs. Garrett
and their accomplished daughters,
both now married and mistresses of

in their relations to the churches of
