PICK YOURSELF A SOLDIER
One woman working a full eight
hour day cannot make enough surgi
cal dressings to supply one badly
wounded soldier.
Here, in terms we can readily un
derstand is the story behind the
millions of surgical dressings the
American Red Cross is making for
America’s armed forces.
Here is a job for you. To add
your time and energy to that of the
thousands of women working in Red

cal dressings which the Army and
Navy MUST HAVE, NOW!

HUBBARD GRIMSLEY
JOINS U. S. NAVY
For the second time within a
month the Blakely postoffice has lost
another of its employees. This time
it is Hubbard Grimsley, who has
served as fireman-laborer since the
opening of the new postoffice. He
has enlisted in the navy and is
now stationed at Norfolk, Va. The
first postoffice employee to join the
navy was Wilton Howell, clerk, who
is now in Norfolk for basic training.
TEDDER BROTHERS JOIN THE
NAVY; UNITE WITH CHURCH
BEFORE LEAVING—
John Tedder of Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Lamar Tedder, of Albany, Ga.,
sons of Mr. Ed Tedder,
the Colomokee community, and
brothers of Mrs. Ralph Scarborough,
of this city, left Sunday afternoon
for Norfolk, Va.,. where they have
enlisted in the navy. These two
young Early countians, prior to their
departure, joined the Baptist church
at Colomokee at the Sunday morn
ing service, a splendid example for
others who have not yet taken that
step.
BLAKELY YOUNG MAN BUYS
BONDS WHILE ON VISIT HERE—
While at home a few weeks ago,
Mr. Vinson Lee, who is now
Baltimore, Md., invested $225 of
his savings in war bonds, making
the purchase here so that Early
county might receive the benefit of
the sale on its quota. Vinson is a
son of Mrs. B. V. Lee of this city.
COLOMOKEE COMMUNITY
FEELS THE LOSS OF
JOHN W. HALL
Colomokee community as a whole
was greatly depressed Sunday, due
to the fact that John W. Hall enlist
ed in Uncle Sam’s service, stationed
at Glenn Field Airport, Bain-bridge.
Not only the men, but also the ladies
and children feel keenly the absence
of the manager of the congregating
center. His courtesy to customers,
politeness to all and love for chil
dren has won the admiration of the
people of the neighborhood. Even
the very small children want to go
bo John Hall’s store, for there, they
say, you can buy candy without
money. Truly, he has proven over
and over that a friend in need is a
friend indeed. Knowing there is no
one left to fill his place, makes us
feel all the ntore that we will be
gdad when this -horrible war is over.
Then he and many others will be
welcomed back to their posts.

STATE MAKES FREE
ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES
OF GEORGIA MINERALS
So you think there’s a valuable
mica, bauxite or perhaps iron depos
it on your property?
Well, through the State Division
of Mines, Mining and Geology you
can soon find out about it, accord
ing to Zaeh. D. Cravey, commissioner
of Natural Resources, under which
the Division functions.
He said the Division maintains a
mineral laboratory which makes free
analysis of any sample of ore sub
mitted. Also, information on the
commercial value of the mineral in
the present day market is estimated.
Captain Garland Peyton, Director
of the Division of Mines, Mining and
Geology, said the War Production
Board is especially anxious for all
the asbestos, iron ore, chromite,
sheet mica, bauxite and manganese
it can get. Most new operations in
recent months have been in these
ores.
Captain Peyton also serves as
emergency coordinator of mines for
Georgia under the WPB and as
such is a sort of “trouble shooter”
in helping miners establish priority
ratings necessary to obtain machin
ery and equipment.
Samples of ore should be brought
or sent to the Division of Mines,
Mining and Geology, Room 425,
State Capitol, Atlanta.
HUNTING OUTLOOK
APPEARS SAYS CRAVEY BRIGHT, j
With seasons opening in Novem- i
ber on raccoon, quail, turkey, deer,
duck, goose and bear, Georgia hunt
ers can seriously begin to get
ready for the hunting season.
And, best of all, according to
Wildlife Director Zack 0. Cravey,!
the outlook is “very good on most
species.” Duck and quail popula
tions, especially, are above average.
Following is the official list of
November openings:
Raccoon: Nov. 20 to Feb. 28.
Quail: Nov. 20 to March 1.
Turkey: Nov. 20 to March 1.
Duck: Nov. 2 to Jan. 10.
Geese: Nov. 2 to Jan. 10.
Bear: Nov. 20 to Feb. 28.
Deer: Nov. 15 to Jan. 5 (except in
counties where the !
17 coastal season
opens Nov. 1).
In October the season opened on
opossum, and squirrel is legal game
throughout the state except in 18
counties of the coastal zone in which
it will become legal Nov. 1. These
counties include Appling, Ben Hill
Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Charlton,
Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Jeff Da
vis, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Screv
en, Tattnall, Telfair, Ware, and
Wayne. There is no open season at
all, however, on the fox squirrel.
