Washington, D. C. — Senators on In just a few days it will be

Sponsoring Program for

“Georgia Industry Week,” in its
second year has developed into a
major statewide program,” accord

vice president of Associated Indus
tries of Georgia, which is sponsor
ing the observance together with
the Ga. Department of Commerce
and local Chambers of Commerce
throughout the state.
Mr. Clarke went on to say,
"with several weeks to go before
the actual observances, — Sept.
20-26 — over 40 Chambers of Com
merce had reported that active
week long programs have been or
ganized in their communities.”
"Georgia Industry Week,” was or
ganized last year to "acquaint the
citizens of the state with the im
portance of the industrial segment
of the State’s existing economy,
and to develop among the people
of the state an increased apprecia
tion of the quantity and quality of
Ga.-made products.”
Community observances planned
for the week range from plant
open house, parades and industrial
floats, beauty contests, community
barbecues, special newspaped edi-,

Times reported a 50-page supple
ment), to general civic club din
ners and a special trip to Atlanta
to attend the "Governor’s Industry
Appreciation Dinner,” Sept. 25,' a
highlight of the observance. Spe

been prepared by the state com
mittee for distribution to all towns

The black turpentine beetle is I
one insect that has caused con- 1
siderable damage to pine trees in
Georgia. It not only attacks pines
worked for turpentine, but will
readily attack any species of pine
in Georgia. This beetle suually at
tacks trees near the ground, with
the first attacks almost always be
ing below waist height. One should
watch for pitch tubes that occur
where the insect attacks the tree.

If work is planned during which

Jim Gillis added, “The route (which

"The highway board is of the
opinion that the middle route is
the most economical and feasible

These responses came after the

FACE TO FACE
This poem which failed to carry
the composer’s name is published
in compliance with a request of a
Herald reader:
I had walked life’s way with an
easy tread,
Had followed where pleasure and
comforts led,
Until one day in a quiet place,
I met the Master face to face.
With station and rank and
wealth for my goal,
Much thought for my body, but
none for my soul,
I had entered to win in life’s mad
race
When I met the Master face to
face.
I had built my castles and reared
them high,
With their towers and pierced the
blue of the sky,
I had sworn to rule with an iron
mace,
When I met the Master face to
face.
I met Him and knew Him and
blushed to see
That his eyes full of sorrow
were fixed on me;
And I faltered and fell at his feet
that day,
While my castles melted and van
ished away.
Melted and vanished in their place
Naught else did I see but the
Master’s face
And I cried aloud, “Oh make me
meet
To follow the steps of Thy
wounded feet.”
My thought is now for the souls
of men
I have lost my life to find it
again,
E’er since one day in a quiet
place
I met the Master face to face.

AN TALMA
Reports
SHINCTON
THERE ARE SOUND argu
ments which can be made both
for and against the forthcoming
visit to this country by Russian
Premier Khrushchev.
Since the
Soviet leader
has demon
strated that he
is not well in
formed about
the United
States and the
freedom, pros
perity, deter
mination and strength of the
American people, it should be to
our definite advantage for him
to have a full opportunity to ob
serve every facet of American life
with his own eyes. On the other
hand, the fact that the Chief Ex
ecutive of our country is having
the Communist dictator as his
official guest likely will have the
decided disadvantage of discour
aging the uncommitted nations
whose support we have courted
and of demoralizing the enslaved
satellite nations whose resistance
to Soviet domination we have
encouraged. Only time can tell
which factor will outweigh the
other.
* * *
THE GREATEST immediate
danger attendant to the visit lies
in assuring Mr. Khrushchev’s per
sonal safety while he is in this
country. There are hundreds of
thousands of persons in the
United States, particularly refu
gees who have been driven from
their homelands by Soviet aggres
sion, who would gladly give their
lives to kill him. The situa
tion is one which poses a security
problem without parallel because
should the Russian Premiei be as
saulted, shot or assassinated while
here there would be grave inter
national complications indeed.
Another problem is posed by the
fact that it is a customary cour
tesy to invite visiting foreign offi
cials to address joint sessions of
Congress. Happily, it has been
pretty generally agreed that that
dilemma will be resolved by the
adjournment of Congress in ad
vance of the September 15 arrival
date. If that turns out to be the
case, we of the South will, at
least, reap an indirect advantage
from the visit inasmuch as it will
put time on the side of Southern
Senators and Congressmen in op
posing the enactment of punitive
force legislation in the field of
civil rights.
* • *
WHILE IT GOES without say
ing that it is impossible to arrive
at any meaningful agreement
with conscienceless leaders of a
godless nation which boasts of
violating agreements whenever it
is expedient for it to do so, in
this era of cold war which could
turn hot at any time there is
nothing to be lost by talking. The
alternatives are either to capitu
late or to fight—the former being
unthinkable and the latter too
horrible to contemplate short of
an absolute matter of survival.
One would have to be naive in
the extreme to expect the visit to
have any effect upon the undevi
ating Russian objective of total
conquest of the world to Commu
nism and only a complete idiot
would view it as a reason to relax
our guard. The most for which
we can hope is that the first
hand impressions gained by Mr.
Khrushchev of the will and ca
pacity of the American people
to resist all efforts to conquer
or subvert them will give him and
his cohorts in the Kremlin cause
to stop and think before embark
ing upon any provocative adven
ture which could plunge the world
into a catastrophic conflict which
could destroy both nations and
civilization with them.
at least 40 hours a week will
come as a shock to many Geor
gians.
While we know some depart
ments in the state government put
in many more hours thah that, we
had assumed that all were at least
technically measuring up to the
40-hour minimum when coffee
breaks were included.
If the Governor’s Commission on
Economy and Reorganization does
little more than bring such over
sights to public attention, it will be
worth what it’s costing the state.
Yellow fever —
Rudy Hayes,
Americus Times Recorder
Americus, Ga. — Time is run
ning out for the 73 year old Sum
ter county court house, but for the
giant, four-faced clock which sets
atop the tower wing of the castle
like structure, the power of the
public has decreed that the time
piece landmark be maintained al-
tho the remainder of the building
is to be razed.
Several years ago when a move
was afoot to construct a new court
house to replace the rambling brick
building which has housed the of
fices for almost 75 years, some op
posed the plan either for reasons
of economy or nostalga.
A bond referendum cast this
aside, however, when the voters
agreed that a new court hous
should be built on another site and
that the original building and prop
erty be sold. But in its place came
concerted movement that the town
clock be retained.
Citizens felt that least some ves
tige of the historic building should
remain and it could best be found
in the large clock which stands
high in the downtown section of
the city.
Each day it provides the time of
day for the local pedestrians and
drivers who rarely pass the North
Lee Street site without glancing up
at the hands or others who listen
| to the hour tolled from almost any
j vantage point within this city of
14,000.
Letter, phone calls and direct
contacts were received by members
of the Sumter County commission
asking thatthe officials make
some stipulation toward keeping
the clock.
Americus, Ga. — Plans to secure
4800 members for 1960 were out
lined at a Third District American
Legion “Kicker Membership Drive”
meeting.
J. E. Powers, Macon, national
Legion executive committeeman
and former Georgia Dept. Com
mander, explained in detail plans
for the campaign and distributed
literature to be used to post rep
resentatives.
Fifty members representing 17
of 27 district posts throughout
southwest Georgia were in atten
dance. Joe Bridges, commander of
the local John Mathis Post, gave
an address of welcome and the re
sponse was made by R. A. Cole
man, Vienna, senior vice com
mander of the district.
Governor Vandiver
Looking for Means to
Construct'New Prison
Atlanta, Ga. — Declaring that
the Georgia Department of Correc
tions faces an “acute” situation,
Gov. Vandiver said Monday he is
looking into the possibility of sup
plying the money for a new pris
on.
Corrections Director Jack For
rester, Assistant Director J. B.
Hatchett and members of the
Board of Corrections visited the
governor’s office Monday.
The department said the Reids-
ville prison, built to hold about 1,-
800 has several hundred more than
it ought.
The Board of Corrections met
later at the corrections department
offices, and it was pretty certain
they talked about the proposition
more.

“I remember,” says Gene Ander
son, "The yellow fever epidemic
only too well and nothing else that
I have ever lived through has di
stressed me so much. It struck and
killed and spread to other vicltis
like a cyclose. It knocked out doc
tors as readily as if they were
helpless babes. And doctors were
as ignorant of the cause of the
dread disease as if they had nei
ther professional skill nor knowl
edge.
One leading doctor lay in a
critical condition from the fever in
the General Hospital near Havana
Cuba. Suddenly his assistant
dashed into the room, crying that
one of the volunteers in an ex
periment to check the ravages of
the disease was in adying con
dition. “Can’t you come and save
him?”
“That’s the most rediculous thing
I ever heard of,” protested the doc
tor’s nurse. “Don’t you see the
doctor is dying himself?”
Dr. Ames waved the nurse away
and said, “Lambert, get another
man and carry me down there in
my bed.”
This was done, and the doctor
did pull the patient thru, and
gradually recovered his own
strength, tho history knows that
yellow fever killed a great many
more people than the Spanish sol
diers killed during the Spanish-
Amreican War.

"I made “iVi or more bales of cotton
per acre, thanks to endrin*"
Reports: Mr. Clint Dixon
R. F. D. #1, Sylvania, Georgia
These are the results that Clint Dixon
got last season.
“I have used endrin for two years. No
question about it. I have the best boll
weevil control I’ve ever had in my life.
“The real proof is in the yield, and
I’ve gotten up to 2^ bales of cotton per
acre—the best yield in the last six years.
I got the extra bales by using only
endrin spray applications.
“I’ll tell anyone the way to grow better
cotton: Apply endrin as a spray. With
the fine results that I’ve gotten with
endrin these last two seasons, you can
be sure I plan to use it from now on.”
The proof of any insecticide is in the
harvest! This season use endrin for boll
weevil and bollworm control and see for
yourself how it effectively knocks them
out for bigger, better cotton yields. Order
your supply today.
