the General Assembly of Geor-
Vandiver Named Head
National Ass’n. Civil
Defense Directors
Ernest Vandiver, State Director
of Civil Defense for Georgia, was
elected President of the National
Association of Civil Defense Direc
tors at their annual meeting in
Washington, D. C., on October 2.
This Association is composed of the
Civil Defense Directors of the forty
eight states and seven territores and
possessions.
“Civil Defense has made great
strides in the past three years,” Mr,
Vandiver stated, in assuming this
honor, “and I shall do everything I
can to help this program while
serving as its President.”
Vandiver continued, “The time has
come when, if America is to survive,
we must have a complete reexamina
tion of our defenses, b’th military
and civil.
“Living within our income is an
admirable desire, however, in order
to enjoy that happy privilege, it is
first necessary to live. The develop
ment of thermo-nuclear weapons by
potential enemies makes it manda
tory that we reevaluate, restudy and
revise our entire Civil Defense
structure,
“The possibility of evacuation of
our cities must now be studied and
seriously considered.
“The Congress of the United
States, the Legislatures of the va
rious States, and our cities must give
top priority to Civil Defense, if we
are to be spared utter destruction.
Our defenses must be elastic, yet
they must be complete, if we expect
to retain our way of life.
“The time is now. We cannot vae
illate; we cannot hesitate, we cannot
turn back. .
~ “My earnet prayer is that every
American citizen will do his utmost;
‘we cannot afford to have too little
too late.”

Extension Leader
Reviews Georgia’s
Community Program
A rural community improvement
program that started in Tennessee
and Georgia seven years ago has
spread to every Southern state.
At present some 300 rural com
munities in Georgia alone are organ
ized for promoting rural develop
ment. One hundred and twenty of
these communities are in 39 counties
in the Aslanta area. Other organ
ized areas are near Columbus and in
the northwestern part of the state
near Chattanooga.
In speaking of the rapid extension
of the program this week, Walter
S. Brown, associate director of the
Agricultural Extension Service,
states, “The North Georgia Com
munity Improvement Program spon
sored by the Farmers Club of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce be
gan in 1947 when 69 communitiés
from 16 counties joined the move
ment. The program has grown
each year, and now there are 120
participating communities from this
one area alone.”
Brown estimates that 600 rural
communities in the North Georgia
area have been influenced by the
program in the seven years,
Four major objectives of the im
provement work as listed by Brown
are: (1) to stimulate rural families
to make improvements in theiwr farms
and homes; (2) encourage families
to work together to get services they
cannot obtain working separately;
(3) encourage the development of
rural leadership, and (4) provide an
opportunity for the development of
better rural-urban relationships.
The farmers clubs of the Colum
bus and Chattanooga Chambers of
Contmerce sponsor improvement pro
grams in their respective areas.
Judging of the 1953 contests wilil
be completed within the next few
weeks, Brown explained.
CUT DISHWASHING TIME
You can save time in cake-making
if you will. Measure dry ingredients
first, using same ocups and spoons
for liquids; sift flour on paper in
stead of into a bowl;, beat egg
whites first, using the same beater
for yolks. You'll cut down on dish
washing this way, too, home im
provement speciaists say. .
Home improvement specialists say
baby's bottles are easier to fill if you
use a small coffee pot with a good
ul:‘urin: spout for making the form
ula.
