Mrs. Ramsey Renfroe
Dies Suddenly At
Her Home in Pelham
Friends here were shocked to
learn of the death Tuesday
noon of Mrs. Wynette Davis Ren
free, at her home in Pelham. Mrs.
Renfroe had recently returned to
her home in Pelham from an Albany
hospital and was thought to be do
ing nicely, when she suddenly passed
away from a heart attack.
Her body was brought to Blakely
where funeral services were
Wednesday afternoon at four o’clock
at the home of her mother, Mrs. R.
W. Davis, on Fort Gaines street /
with ... the Rev. o Spencer d B. ts- King
ficiating. Interment was in the city
cemetery, with Minter, Fellows &
Forrester Funeral Home in charge of
arrangements. Serving _ as „
bearers were Oscar Whitchard,
land Morse, Grady Smith, Charles
Boyett, Luther Warrick, Julian
Moore and A. T. Fleming.
Mis. Renfroe was a native of
Blakely, where she spent most of her
life. She was a daughter of Mrs.
Mollie Robinson Davis and the late
Mr. R. W. Davis. She was a member |
of the Methodist church.
The news of the untimely passing
of this young woman brought sad
ness to the hearts of her friends
here and in other communities in
which ,she had recently resided.
Mrs. Renfroe is survived by her
mother; her husband, Mr. Ramsey
Renfroe; three children, Ramsey,
Jr., Carrol! and Wynette Renfroe;
one brother, Carroll Davis, of Mon-
ments to the Selective Service act.
Among the changes are the follow
ing:
Men 45 years of age and older
have been placed in Class IV-A and
will not be inducted for military
training without registrant’s consent.
This provision automatically applies
to each registrant as he reaches his
45th birthday.

Another change in the selective
^ erv j ce act, which has the effect of
freezing agricultural workers to
their jobs or subjecting them to mili
tary service in lieu thereof, provides
for deferment of every registrant
found by local board to be necessary
to and regularly engaged in agricul
i tural occupation or agricultural en
deavor necessary to war effort so
long as he remains so engaged and
until such time as a satisfactory re
placement can be obtained. If regis
trant leaves such occupation, the
local board shall reclassify him ir

first requests and receives from lo
ca j i Joarc j a determination that it is
to the best interest of the war ef
fort for registrant to leave such oc
i cupation for other work.

BORROWING —
Some people who find it necessary or advantag
eous to borrow money feel a certain hesitancy or em
barrassment in applying to a bank for a loan.
This should not be. We hire money just as a ga
rage hires out an automobile or a landlord rents a
room. You should feel no more hesitancy in applying
to us for a loan than you would in going to a store to
make a purchase. Both are business transactions.
If you are entitled by credit standards to the
accommodation you seek, we are just as anxious to
lend you the money as you are to borrow it.

SERVICE MEN MAY
USE RESIDENT
GAME LICENSES
Men in service, regardless of from
where they hail, are permitted to
use resident Georgia hunting and
fishing licenses and the Wildlife
Division is urging sportsmen to take
them on outings.
By special legislation enacted at
the last general assembly, a service
man located in Georgia can “enjoy
our hunting and fishing advantages
at considerable savings over other
out-of-state sportsmen,” declared
Wildlife Director Cravey.
Actually, it means that a service
man can buy a state-wide resident
hunting license for $3.25, instead of
having to pay $12.50 as other non
residents do. If the service man
hunts only in the county in which
j he is located, he can make use -of a
1 county resident license which costs
! him only $1.00, instead of pm-chas
i ing a county non-resident license
for $5.00.
A fishing license for the full sea
i son will cost an out-of-state service
man $1.25, but other non-resident
'fishermen must pay $5.25 for an
nual license.
The Director said he had received
numerous inquiries, especially since
the hunting season opened, from va
rious camps, individuals, as well
; from the WBI, about licenses.
He said, however, that
Georgia sportsmen are
about taking service men out fishing
and hunting, many of them won’t
i have the opportunity to go.”
“Let’s show real Georgia hospital
ity by remembering these boys who
are stationed in our state,” he said.

i L Over Plea the of Top Secretary by New Morgenthaw Year’s Is the I
November 13, 1942
As of today twenty-one million American
workers are investing eight per cent of their
salary-every pay day-in United States War Savings
Bonds. This is a very remarkable tribute to our I
armed forces who are fighting this war. But this
job is only two-thirds accomplished.
There are nine million additional American l
workers who are not investing.in War Bonds every
pay day.
This appeal is directed to two groups of
Americans;
First - the twenty-one million people who are
investing eight per cent of their wages, We ask
them to increase their investment to ten per cent
or more.
Second - the other nine million whom we ask to
join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten
per cent or more of their earnings.
It is our earnest hope here at the Treasury
Department that by New Year’s Day thirty million
Americans will be investing ten per cent or more
of their wages in War Bonds through the Payroll
Savings Plan.
