Georgia’s Fourth Estate.
Down here in the peach country
things are not going too well, ac
cording to Margaret C. Jones in the
Ft. Valley Leader-Tribune. “There
is no secret about it; 12 months of
tireless effort, back-breaking work,
and an unholy amount of cold,
bard cash, have gone to nothing.
The 1947 peach crop is abouc as
unsuccessful as a peach crop can
be. Since the beginning of the
year the outlook has been none too
bright. Peach growing is an unpre
dictable business, with good years
and bad years; a lot of money, or
a lot of heartbreak. This year we
get the heartbreak.”
The flying sm«:ers I’.avi served
at least to pound cne lesson home.
That is, accjrding to the state
ment of wellknown columnist,
that the United States bus develop
ed no effective warning system
against surprise attack in this ige
of the new and terrible weapons.
For if such system had been in
existence, the military cuithoritics
could instantly have ended specu
lation. They eoula have given those
assurances which an effective
warning system would instaiuly
provide: “We know all that passes
through the American air. You saw
sunlight on the wings of high
flying aircraft—or you saw nothing
—or you saw a meteor in the night
sky.” No such assurances were
forthcoming. Wa do not have an
effective warning fystem. We are
not prepared for the worst.
This interesting item appeared in
a Georgia daily newspaper of re
cent date: “Romance is displaying
itself again in the Methodist
| family. Miss Eleanor Rees, the
attarctive secretary to Bishop Moore
| is to be married in late summer to
Julian Veatch, son of Dr. J. W.
Veatch, Methodist superintendent
I of the Atlanta-East district. Elea-
| nor is the daughter of Dr. A. W.
i Rees, Methodist minister at Cor-
'dele. She insists that Bishop Moore
tie the knot, even if lie has to de
lay a projected trio to China.”
