NOW GEORGIANS MUST
PULL TOGETHER 1
One of the best editorials of the
week with reference to the result
of the Gubernatorial election is to
be found in the Columbus Enquirer
Sun, which the Herald Is pleased
to reproduce with Its hearty en
dorsement:
The race is run, the votes counted
and the victor acclaimed!
Ellis Arnall has been chosen to
lead this state through the next
tour years. He is to be Georgia's
war Governor. Great tasks face
him, momentous problems are to
be solved and certain conditions
now existing in the state govern
ment must be remedied.
Ellis Arnall asked for the oppor
tunity to serve nl the Governor's
office. The people of Georgia have
acceeded to his request by giving
him an overwhelming victory over
the incumbent, Eugene Talmadge
who sought a fourth term as this
state's chief executive.
The Enquirer supported Mr. Ar
nall for several reasons. One was

The Butler postoffice states that
it has received instructions from
the Army postal service concerning
the mailing of the Christmas pres
ents tor members of the armed
forces serving outside the Contlnen
tal U. S. A.
Christmas packages, cards and
letters for men overseas must be
mailed between Oct. 1 and Nov. 1
because after the latter date the
presents will very likely not reach
the soldier in time for Christmas.
The post office department, as
part of its war-time duty, pledges
Itself to the utmost to Insure safe
delivery of soldiers gifts, but it
stresses the need for all packages

AMERICAN BOMBERS
From the Savannah Press:
"From every side come reports of
the magnificent performance of
the American Flying Fortress now
engaged in battle over Europe.
Having received their baptism of
fire with American crews on the
Continent during the recent raid on
Rouen, just preceding the Dieppe
raid, the American-made bomber
came off with the fine record of
not a ship lost in the whole group
which engaged in the eight Flying
Fortress forays and with the fact
established that German gunfire
cannot shoot the Fortresses out of
the air, although they put holes
into them. In the Rouen raid the
planes encountered a swarm of
German Focke-Wulfs, and Messer-
schmitts, whichsuffered losses when
seeking to intercept the giant bom-1
bers, but inflicted none on the
American ships which returned
safely to their bases.
"During the short space of a fort
night over a hundred sorties are
said to have been successfully car
ried out over western Europe with
DOCTOR'S WORK OVERTIME
The most serious problem faced
by the medical profession today
lies in the vast numbers of doctors
who are being called to service with

medical care possible, and doctors
are Joining up by the thousands.
In'order to meet both military and
oivilian needs for doctors, medical
groups are taking definite action.
During the next three years, for in
stance, U. S. medical schools will
graduate more than 21,000 students
as a result of recently adopted pro
grams for accelerating the educa

Thanks a million Brother Cald
well! The Editor-Minister of the
Walton News, who some years ago
delivered one of the best sermons
ever heard here on a commence
ment occasion of the local high
achool, speaks complimentary of ye
scribe in a manner far beyond that
we deserve. Coming from one of
character and noble characteristics
however, as that of Brother Cald
well, we humbly and sincerely ap
preciate the same. Under the cap
tion, “A Fine Georgian Is Benns",
Bro. Caldwell says: "No, he is not
one of the ‘has beens,’ he is the
same Charles Benns that we met
when first we attended a session of
the Georgia PressX Association-
warm hearted, religiously cordial in
his actions and in his speech
postmaster of the Butler office and
owner of the Butler Herald. He's the
‘guy’ that, frequently, quotes from
this paper and does more or less
bragging about us. For years Mr.
Benns was Secretary of the Georgia
Press Association and, take it from
us, he made a fine one—always on
the job and his whole ambition
was to be proficient at the task. In
his home, for a short time, some
some few years ago (the place
where ones’ finer characteristics
are revealed) we discovered the
fort of this noble Georgian's very
existence." ,
tablished.
Still another reason the Enquirer
extended Its support to Ellis Arnall
was that this newspaper was confi
dent that he would make a good
governor. We were convinced of his
honesty, his sincerity and his abili
ty. We feel that this reason alone
justified the Enquirer's support of
Mr. Arnall.
Ellis Arnal asked the people of
Georgia to give him the opportunity
to restore democracy to this state;
he requested that he be accorded
the chance to remedy certain griev
ous conditions that have existed
for some time in the state govern
ment.
The people of this state have
spoken with emphasis.
The job is his!
It will now become the duty of
Ellis Arnall to restore the state
government to the people; to re
trieve the accredited standing of
the educational institutions ahd to
solve various other problems that
will confront him when he takes
office next January.
Yes, the responsibility now is up
on the shoulders of Ellis Arnall.
But he must have help!
The new governor must have the
help of the people of Georgia. He
must have the unqualified coopera
tion of every citizen.
The race has been run, the result
determined.
Politics, we hope, will now be ad
journed.
We are all Georgians. Our dif
ferences have been settled.
They have been settled in the
democratic way—at the polls. They
have been settled in the American
way!
Mr. Arnall not only will be the
Governor of the person who voted
for Ellis Arnall, but he will be the
Governor of the one who supported
Eugene Talmadge.
He will be the governor of all
Georgians. <
The Enquirer appeals to the peo
ple of this county and this state
to extend their full cooperation to
the new Governor. There is a war
to be won; there are critical times
ahead for this great state and this
great nation. c
We of Georgia must help in the
tremndous national war program.
And the only way to help effec
tively is to pull together.
eGorgians, we are sure will do
this!

umn in the Atlanta Journal:

W. C. Tucker, conductor of the
"Top O’ The Morn’ 1 column in the
Columbus Enquirer Sun, which is
always intersting reading, makes
the following reference to Congress
man Pace: “We had the pleasure of
shaking hands with Representative
Steve Pace yesterday. The Third
District Congressman was saying
‘hello,’ to a number of friends here
on a short visit from his home in
Americus. Congressman Pace is be
ing returned to Washington with
out opposition. We never have be
lieved a good congressman should
be forced to worry about opposition.
And Mr. Pace is a good congress
man.”

parcels.
Postage on parcels headed to
soldiers in foreign service shall be
paid only to the ports of embarka
tion.
Not more than one Chrismas par
cel or package will be accepted for
mailing in any one week when sent
by the same person or concern to
or for the same addressee. It is also
pointed out that members of the
armed forces are amply provided
with food and clothing and the pub
lie is urged not to include such
matter in gift parcels.
Christmas boxes should be in
closed in wood, metal or corrugated
pasteboard. Sealed packages of
candy, cigars, tobacco, and toilet
articles in simplest mercantile form
may be enclosed within parcels
without affecting the parcel post
classification of such packages. Post
master Benns said that sarp-
pointed or sharp-edged instruments
such as razors, knives etc., must
have their points or edges protected
so they cannot cut thru theiri cov
erings and damage other mail or
injure postal employes.
While placing in what it terms
the “Roll of Honor” a list of Geor
gia daily and weekly newspapers
that supported Mr. Arnall in his
recent successful race for Governor,
the Atlanta Journal gave considera
tion to such newspapers that ttook
a neutral stand during the cam
paign as did the Herald. In this re
gard the Journal says: “True, there
were some papers in rural sections
Which maintained a strict editorial
neutrality. The condition has ex
isted, to a greater or less extent, in
all our primary campaigns. Some
editors prefer to avoid the antag
onisms and bitternesses that [often
arise from heated campaigns. Some
see in the usual Georgia primary
little more than a contest between
the “ins” and the “oust." Some be
lieve sincerely they can best serve
their public by avoiding the role of
advocate or accuser.” Whether the
Journal agrees with us or not, the
Herald is proud of the_fact that its
editor has what we term the wis
dom of being fair and impartial be
tween opposing candidates and
their friends, especially where the
campaign is conducted mostly on
"mudslinging." There is much to
be admired in each of the candi
date in the recent race for Gover
nor. The Herald took occasion £
number of times to point out the
fine qualities of each of these gen
tlemen and avoided speaking evil
of either. With the finer qualities
of the candidate pointed out we
believed the voters had sufficient
intelligence to judge for them
selves for whom they should vote
rather than presuming to dictate or
try to coerce them into voting for
the candidate of our choice. A
weekly newspaper especially cannot
command or hold for a great length
of time, the respect of its readers
when it indulges freely in politics.
Unlike the Journal we place in the
“Roll of Honor” those newspapers
thfft maintained a strictly neutral
policy. In another column of the
same issue of the Journal appears
the following: "One Georgia Judge
who was active in partisan politics
came up for reelection Wednesday.
He was Judge Joe Ben Jackson of
the Ocmulgee Superior Court Cir
cuit. He was defeated by the peo
ple of his circuit—decisively and
significantly.” We hold that a
newspaper serving the public has
no more right to deal in partisan
politics than has any officeholder
The Journal is unfair when it up
holds one group of public servants
for dealing in partisan politics and
condemns other public servants for
the same thing.
