Bank, has been named chairman
of Third District Georgia Bankers
Association. He succeeds W. P. Car
ter, assistant cashier of the Farm

Well, we’re killing them right
along on the highways and streets
of Georgia. Up to October 5th, au
tos and trucks had put 690 in their'
graves, compared with 674 to this
date last year. War casualties are'
mild in f comparison with the way
we slay people right here at home.
Last week Hon. Pittman Carter,
Jackson County Superintendent,who
was nominated in the primary
without opposition, announced that
he would not be a candidate for
re-election in the general election.
Mr. Carter has accepted a position
as assistant to the president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation
to which position he was recently
appointed.

to make one realize how good we

i group of newspapermen with
whom I made the trip to Europe.
' Significantly, it required only a
few days on the continent, mostly
in England and France, to convince
me beyond all doubt that we enjoy
an incomparable high standard of
living.
In those countries, the economic
system is all out of balance and as
a consequence, the average Euro
pean enjoys very few, if any, of
the luxuries of life as we know and
enjoy them while many—especially
the average worker—have only the
actual needs.

In a leading editorial the Macon
Telegraph, we were happy to note
a few days ago, stated that “all
factors carefully considered, Gov.
(Stevenson is the best qualified can
didate for President of the United
States.” Continuing the Telegraph
stated:
| “A full month has passed since
I the national political* parties open
ed their campaigns, and only a
, short time remainns before the
election on Nov. 4.
I "During thi s initial period of
I campaigning the nation has ob-
. served with keen interest and deep
! ening concern the developments of
major issues as they have carefully
discussed, or tacitly avoided, by
the presidential candidates.
“The people also have been
ponering the policies of the parties
themselves as given expression
through the statements of their
presidential candidates — whether
their platforms represent, indeed,
the empty clicking of a ghost’s
typewriter or the pounding of a
human heartbeat.”
Obsequies
By. Mrs. O. L. Moore
I love them so, soon they must go
The bright hued autumn flowers,
All will be lost, when comes the
frost
That follows late fall showres.
Somehow I dread to see the dead
Where once the living shone
In colors bright, the heart’s delight
Of texture, tint and tone.
As year went on others iTave gone
| To wait tile breath of spring,
Yet others came their place to
claim
And beauty’s bounty fling.
Skies overcast! These are the last,
Soon lovely garden spot
Will be the tomb of bulb and bloom
Wreathed in forget-me-nots.
Christmas packages for service
men overseas should be mailed be
tween Oct. 15 and Nov. 15, the De
fense Department announces.
Dr. William F. Quillian, acting
president of Wesleyan College, Ma
con, since Oct, 16, 1951 following
the death of Dr. Silas Johnson, will
retire as head of the institution on
January 1st.
The first issue of the North Geor
gia Herald, published at Toccoa,
came off the press last week. It is
an interesting paper, and will be
printed weekly. George Hitt is
editor. Maurice Payne is advertis
ing and circulation manager, and
M. T. Altman is the business man
ager. Congratulations and best
wishes to the Herald and its splen
did personnel.
Now is the time to both plant
and plan for flowers, trees and
shrubbery about your home for
next year. Flowers are inexpesive,
and even a rented home may be
made prettier and more enjoyable
by the addition of flowers. The ef
fort toward beautifying the home
and surroundings is limited only
to the interest of the dwellers of
the home. Fortunately, the price of
a beautiful flower display may be
paid by labor. The actual cost of
seeds or bulbs is very small.
