W E’RE talking facts,
remember! Such
as the fact that steel for
every tank, ship, and
gun must be made of
50% scrap. And the
terrible fact that Amer
ica’s mills are starving -
for this scrap—without
enough on hand for even 30 days
more production!
Which puts it up to you!

And when you see the stockpile

it’s needed — be glad that you’ve
done your part-..that yOUr work
may have saved’ some boy from a
needless death!
Bpect books of County Officers, beg
leave to report that we have ex
amined books and records in Office
of Clerk Superior Court, Ordinary,
Tax Commissioner and School Su
perintendent, and find same neat
ly and correctly kept: We desire: to
commend these officers for the
manner in which their offices and
records are kept.
We had dockets from only two
Justices of the Peace, towit: E. C
Gholson of the 743rd District and
W. G. Hill, of the 757th District
We note that Judge Gholson fails
to enter costs on his docket and we
feel that this should be done. These
dockets are neatly and correctly
kept in so far as could be learned.
The committee, appointed to in
spect the courthouse, jail and
County Work Camp find that the
buildings and equipment,.at the
camp were in good condition, The
walls In the corridors and- the: toi
lets of the courthouse are still
abused. We recommend that, those
in charge of the upkeep of thfe coiirt >
house attend to these defacements
immediately, and find the jail in
as good a condition as usual.
Superintendent of Schools, W. T.
Rustin, came before this body anil
made a detailed report of our
school system! Our impression Is
that the schools are under about as
good management and operation as
could be expected under war con-
ditlons. We were particularly im
pressed at" the operation of the
lunch room, milk program and fi
nances.

going to get the finest practical in

war ends their earning capacity
should be much higher than it is
now.
“Besides, they’ll be much surer oi
a job, because, in addition to their
former occupation, they’ll have the
possibility of entering the com

larger after the war than it. was
before and will give mechanics
some of the highest salaries ever
known."

to bring an examining physician
