about governmental red tape and the
trials and tribulations one has to un
dergo to get an interview with the
fifth assistant to the sixth vice-presi
dent, but the following little satire
by Berton Braley in a recent issue
of The Nation’s Business describes
the mad, rushing business life in
Washington better than anything we
have seen. Come in, Mr. Braley, and

LEON EDWARD BAUGHMAN
NOW AVIATION CADET
AT MAXWELL FIELD—
Early county friends will he inter
ested to learn that Leon Edward
Baughman, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.
H. Baughman, of Cedar Springs, is
now enrolled as an aviation cadet in
the Army Air Forces Pre-Flight Field,!
School for Pilots at Maxwell
Montgomery. Here the new class j
cadets is receiving nine weeks of in
tensive military, physical and aca-l
demic ning their training actual preparatory flight instruction to begin- at, j
clerks who checked the check of the
fifth assistant clerk who checked the
memo that Jack wrote.
—and if you can’t follow this any
further you’d better not take a job
in Washington where this is only a
s/tart on paper work involved in the
transmission through the “regular
channels” of the memo—which didn’t
amount to a d- -in the first place
—that Jack wrote.
Out of this chaos of food and gas
oline rationing may come some ben
efits which not many of us realize
as we go through what some are
terming a bitter experience. As a
siation, we have become waste re,
unnecessary spenders and luxurious
livers. For years we have been
making three trips when one would
have served the purpose. We have
burned five gallons of gas when one
ot two would have gotten the same
results if we had only made a few
jpilans. A family eats a meal costing
three dollars, when half that amount
"would have supplied the ^necessary
Vitamins and calort-r t** , '-atain a
healthy body. We traded cars to get
a newer model for no other reason
than to “keep up with the Joneses.”
'The same old bus with a few repairs
would have done the job equally as
Well. iSo, let us hope, as we endure
the rationing age, and endure it we
shall, that we will learn that we can
exist and be just as happy if we don’t
spend and throw our money away
like a person deprived of all reason
ing. Surely much can be gained
from this experience and what we
now think is a hardship can he a
blessing in disguise and a liability
can he converted into a most helpful
russet.
That. vanishing Georgian, Eugene
Talmadge, of McRae, late of Atlanta,
qntte often, to caitch the gullible
arm fool the public, quotes scripture
"with reckless abandon. This isn’t al
together a new trick. The devil tried
it on Jesus Christ nearly two thou
-'sa.’&d years ago.
-
Ollie Reeves, in the Lionews, says': |
'Tf all the paper used for telling us:
"we should conserve paper was con- j
served, there would lie no need of
telling us to conserve paper. Figure
that out.”
Roy Whitehurst and Dr. W. A,
Fuqua, friendly competitors in the
farm machinery business, quite often
"“kid” each other about the merits
and demerits of each other’s prod
ucts. However, much of their dis
eussion -will never appear in print,
so we will give you a front seat to
Gse of their recent verbal banters
on another topic, namely and to-wit,
why each left the farm. Roy claims
that when he was farming he worked
hard and plowed a mule so heavy
that he was forced to buy a new mule
each year. He literally plowed a
mule to death and went broke trying
to buy new work stock. “Doc” ad
mitted that he never plowed a mule
to death, but he once had a 1500
pound horse which he plowed so hard
■and so much that every time he went
to get the bridle tire horse would
fall over in a dead faint. He spent
so much time reviving his horse that
be had to finally give up farming,
and so moved to town and went into
business.
Not to be outdone, Roy then told
that he plowed so much when a boy
that his hands became paralyzed in
the shape of a plow handle and for
everal years he couldn’t straighten
thf-ai out. and that when he went to
plow, instead of catching hold oF the
handles he would slip his hands on
over the handles like putting on a
pair of gloves.
WITH THE BOYS
IN THE SERVICE
SGT. CARL FRYER, JR., NOW
“SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND”—
Friends will be interested to learn
that Sgt. Carl S. Fryer, Jr., son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Fryer of this city,
1 is now with the U. S. forces overseas
I and is stationed “somewhere in Eng
land,” his parents receiving news to
this effect the past week.
WESLEY SINGLETARY
PROMOTED FOR
“COURAGEOUS CONDUCT”—
The Navy has promoted an Early
| county young man to the rank of
chief boatswain’s mate for “courag
eous conduct” which he displayed
when his ship, the U. S. Destroyer
Meredith, was lost in action during
an engagement near the Solomon
Islands, it was learned here this
week. The sailor is Wesley Hamil
ton Singletary, son of Mrs. Sarah
Della Singletary, who is making her
home in Columbus now, and a broth
er to Gerald Singletary, of Blakely.
After the crew had abandoned ship,
his superior officers reported Single
tary “maintained discipline, kept
rafts together, and supervised the ra
tioning of food and water, as well as
administered first aid to the wound
ed and sustained the morale of the
entire group.” Singletary is a grad
uate of Blakely high school and
friends remember him here “ as a
rough and ready player, whose cot
ton-top head distinguished him from
the other players, as he never wore
a helmet.”
JOHN SCARBOROUGH
PROMOTED TO SERGEANT—
Friends of John Scarborough,
whose promotion to corporal was re
cently announced, will be interested
1942 Unemployment
Contributions Must Be
Paid By January 31
Employers subject to the state Un
employment Compensation law today
were advised by the state agency that
all contributions for the year 1942
must be paid and all reports filed on
or before midnight, January 31, in
order to receive credit against their
federal payroll tax.
In a special notice addressed to all
employers, Director W. D. Dickerson,
of the Unemployment Compensation
Division, said failure to comply will
result in the assessment of penalties
by the Federal government over
which the Bureau has no control. The
State agency, he said, is required to
file proof with the Federal govern
ment that the employer has paid re
quired contributions within the time
permitted by law before credit will
be allowed.
Reporting forms for the quarter
ending December 31, 1942, have been
mailed to employers and should be
returned with contributions as soon
as possible so that the agency may
not be flooded with returns on the
last day of the month, Mr. Dickerson
said.
BAPTISTS BACK IN
THEIR RENOVATED
CHURCH BUILDING
After an absence for several weeks
from their own church home, Blake
Baptists Sunday had the privilege of
attending services again in their new
ly renovated and beautified church
building. During the time the build
ing was undergoing repairs, Sunday
School classes met in private homes
and in various public buildings over
the city, while attending preaching
services at the Methodist church in
joint worship with the congregation
of that church.
The members were amply repaid
for any inconveniences they may
have suifered Sunday morning, when
they saw for the first time their
newly renovated church, which has
been repainted throughout, floors
resurfaced, lighting fixtures changed,
and various other minor improve
ments made. It is expected that a
handsome new carpet will be placed
when it is possible to purchase one
in keeping with the handsome aud
itorium.
The renovation of the church was
under the direction of J. B. Stokes,
local contractor, supervised by the
church building committee, headed
by J. B. Jones. I
