CITIZENS TO
THE COLORS!
—By—
DOROTHY BALKCOM
Since there was announced a short
age of aluminum with which to build
planes for defense, citizens over the
United States have contributed
enough of this light metal to build
two thousand, eight hundred air
planes. Still, citizens are putting
pots and pans and other utensils
made of aluminum into the pens.
Among other local Americans who
have given theirs to our country are:
Mrs. J. B. Jones, Mrs. W. A. Fuqua,
Mrs. C. €. Lane, Mrs. V. F. Balk
com, Mrs. Willie Bell Grier, Miss
Annie Livingston, Jimimie Holman,
Roy Bates, Harold McLendon, and
Messrs. Earl Beasley, R. N. Duke,
Jack Davis, Bryant Mock and W. K.
George.
In comparison with other coun
tries of its size and importance, the
United States has during this world
crisis made real demands of very
few of its citizens. It has made
some requests, though, to all citizens
—that you 'buy Defense Stamps and
Bonds, that you take some pant in
the Defense Program, that you write
to the boys in the Armed Forces and
thus help in maintaining and build
ing their morale.
The government is making real
demands of some citizens—those it
has called into active service. Some
of these from our town and county
are Wade Leon Jarret, Ewell Clar
ence McDoiwell, Carl Fryer, Jr., Gor
don Sprouse, Ray Harriss, Lane New
ton Spence, Frank Gilbert, Jr., Ralph
Wade Swann and Sherrod Hall Ses
sions.
Have you written to any of these
boys in uniform ? These boys are be
ing trained to fight in defense of
Americans, and American homes—
which means you and me, and homes
we know on Church street, Fort
Gaines street, Liberty street, Bain
bridge, Cuthbert and Arlington
streets, homes out at Rock Hill, up
in Flea Hop, down in the Cuba dis
trict, in Mosely-town . . .
The first boy to volunteer when
our local Selective Seryf.ee Board
opened its office was Bill Grimsley,
and the second was his brother, Em
mett. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joe F. Grimsley, have a third son,
J. 8., who had volunteered previous
ly and is stationed at Fort Benning.
Bill, who used to ride around on
the streets of Blakely and the roads
of Early county, now is Private
William C, Grimsley, of Company D,
81st Reconnaissance Battalion, APO
251, at Camp Robinson, Arkansas,
and drives a scout car in the First
Armored Division.
He writes that he’s learned a lot,
and now what he wants to do is
drive his scout car “right on over
to Germany and shoot the h— out of
Hitler.” b

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY,* GEORGIA
C. W. GILES DIES
AFTER ILLNESS OF
SEVERAL DAYS
Claud Wesley (Jack) Giles, well
known Blakely citizen, died early
Wednesday morning in a Cuthbert
hospital after an illness of five
weeks. His death was attributed to
diabetes.
Mr. Giles was born in Schley
county, Ga., near Ellaville, in 1885,
hence was 56 years of age. He had
been a resident here since 1918, be
ing engaged as saw-mill operator
and in farming operations. Because
of his extremely jovial disposition
and personality, he had many friends
over the county who mourn his un
timely passing.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs.
Mary Harris Giles; one son, C. Em
ory Giles, of St. Louis, Mich.; two
daughters, Mrs. J. C. Woolf of Ma
con, Ga., and Miss Marshaline Giles
of Blakely; two brothers, W. F.
Giles of Ideal Ga., and John L. Giles
of St. Louis, Mich., and one sister,
Mrs. Cora Brooks of Albany, Ga.
Plans for the funeral were incom
plete Wednesday afternoon and will
be announced Thursday by the Min
ter, Fellows & Forrester Funeral
Home, which is in charge of arrange
ments.
Mr. Willoughby Seeks to Learn
If and When He
Shot Himself.
September 30, 1941.
Mr. A. T. Fleming,
Editor Early County News,
Blakely, Ga.
Dear Mr. Fleming:
May I solicit your help in deter
mining whether or not I shot myself
about ten days ago, and if so, to
learn the particulars?
Some have it that I shot myself
accidentally. Others say I went be
serk and staged (and lost by a fatal
knockout) a one-round wrestling
match with a fire-arm of some kind,
although they are not agreed as to
what kind of fire-arm.
When I first heard these wild ru
mors I assured my long-suffering
friends that they would have to en
dure my existence among them for
a while longer—in fact, for quite a
long while if left in my hands.
However, I still meet people who
think they are seeing a ghost. Some
tell me that they have talked with
people who viewed my mutilated
body. Others report talking with
those who attended the funeral.
Although all of this leaves me in
some doubt as to whether I really
am dead or not, I still find it diffi
cult to believe that I am. For one
thing, my existence continues (as
before) to be neither all roses nor
all thorns. According to best Prot
estant information, it should be ei
ther one or the other if I really am
dead. For another thing, I have
seen no evidence of grief from my
family (and I flatter myself that
there would be if I had made a
permanent exit). Neither have I
seen any rush of debtors stumbling
over each other to pay their ac
counts to my wife, nor have my
creditors extended their sympathies
to her.
In view of all these facts I am still
inclined to believe that, like many
other rumors sometimes are, there is
no foundation of fact to substantiate
the report of my death (either ac
cidentally or otherwise). But per
haps my own interest in the matter
makes me a little prejudiced.
Yours very truly,
JAMES S. WILLOUGHBY.
