Lentative Alpha Fowler of County was here the other vas born in Cherokee, his are buried at Macedonia, tton alongside the Pon- when he was a lad, and made a big success of ghborhood theater business nta. es in Douglasville and has ted this district twice in ce senate. He is a very islator and got to talking up of us concerning laws d help the state. But that tracked when Tarp Wright cer Huey came along and ing fox-hunting. , ed and talked and other scame along, and they pretty soon there was n of fox hunters. t think these fox hunt- .all about politics. Be- r Fowler is really one of c. It seems that once in his a man opposed him for the ure and told farmers that a fox hunter. vler asked him, then, if he id pass a law to protect foxes? told the fox-hunting farmers at he certainly would. But he ipped around and told the far- mers that didn't care for fox-hunt- ing that Fowler was about to pro- tect the fox by law, and good-bye farmers' chickens when the fox got that protection. Well, Mr. Fowler got wind of that. So he told the farmers. Yes, he would protect the foxes and his opponent was going to protect the skunks. Then he would laugh, long and loud. And the farmers voted Fowler in. He is one of Georgia's best post- ed men n taxes. He was a member of the tax commission. He KNOWS that taxes are too high. And he believes that a large part of the fault is in local taxation. He showed his Douglas County ax receipt, for taxes on a farm. e pays road tax, bond tax, county x, county school tax, state ad loren tax, all totaling nearly 140 taxes on a 40 acre farm. He was interested to learn that a farm of the same value in herokee county he would pay con- -derably less than half, as a com- arison of tax receipts showed. Counties that have enjoyed re- venue from gasoline and other sources ought not to increase their own taxes too, he believes, al though many have done so.

The Covington property bore the brunt of a windstorm last April, damage then being mostly to large trees in the yard. Five Cherokee county cadets marched smartly among 400 of their fellows as the highlight Wed- nesday of the dedication of, new buildings at North Georgia col lege and two Cherokee county parents viewed the dress parade with pride. Dedication of the two newest buildings and inspection of a third that has been built with federal as- sistance under the guidance of Chancellor S. V. Sanford attracted the attention and attendance of many notables and patrons of the school. Situated on the site of the an- cient initial government mint in the crotch of mountains that once were rich with gold, the physical plant with its three new buildings shaped about the old ones with their hoary traditions is fast be- coming one of the nation's noted military and co-educational junior colleges. . With the physical improvement there is a bright refraction of the always smart morale that is bound in the tradition of N. G. C. where so many North Georgia boys and girls have found their first steps up the ladder of formal informa- tion. The Cherokee boys who are there are J. O. Garrett, John Haney, Sam Burtz, Robert Lathem and Gene Thomason. All are Canton High products and all are making good in the school at Dahlonega. Roy V. Harris, speaker of the Georgia house of representatives and candidate for re-election to that post, delivered the principal address, which was a studied dis- cussion of the social aims of Geor- gia with the educational problem foremost in the many problems that confront the coming General Assembly. Harris pleaded for Georgians to work together in a common cause to solve the financial and other problems that face the state con- cerning education and government. Dr. T. Jack Lance, president of Young Harris College and member of the Board of Regents, presid- ed after the meeting was opened by Dean Rogers of the College in the beautiful new auditorium with basement dining hall. Dr. S. V. Sanford, University chancellor formally accepting the buildings from Public Works Ad ministration Representative T. C. Peace, told of the great task that has been his in his efforts to wrest for Georgia from the gov- ernment a million and three hun- dred thousand dollars to comple- ment Georgia's three million-dol lar building program. That effort program has plac- ed in every Congressional dis- trict of the state buildings that were sorely needed for the va- rious units of the University Sys- tem of Georgia. Since the administration of for- mer Governor Russell reo aniz- ing the educational system the state, every public school all the colleges are imparti part (Continued on page RAMBLIN’ 'ROUND BY JOE PARHAM We were sorry for Mrs. L. K. Mauldin, of Waleska Road, this week when she came in and re ported the loss of her savings for years. In the coin purse were four $20 bills, two or three dimes and a few pennies. She dropped the purse in front of her home when getting out of a car and did not miss it until the next morning. The coin purse was in a sack and that was left but the purse and money was gone. It takes a housewife a long time to save up eighty dollars and the loss was enough to cause down- heartedness. But we believe she will get her money. Her name was not in the purse so, perhaps whoev er found it is just waiting to re turn it. Anyway she asks the fin der to keep ten dollars and return the remainder to her or the Tribune office. The money was lost on Thursday night, December 29 and was found Friday morning. Who- ever found this money can clear up their conscience by returning it. If you keep it you will have a cankered conscience for the remain- der of your days. If you return it you will make Mrs. Mauldin very happy. Rural mail carrier, Claude Hop- kins, on route 2 out from Canton, tells a good one. During the re- cent freeze a place on his route had been filled in by WPA workers and was really in bad shape. Said he was driving along and saw a hat lying out on the mud. He had been Council Warns Speeders And Plans Zone System Dinner Speaker Jackson Day Leo T.

Name All Streets Rotary Urges on New Town Council Rotary Club of Canton endorsed Tuesday the suggestion in a talk by Rev. O. M. Seigler that streets of Canton be properly named and numbered. The club heard from the minister examples of difficulties that stran. gers, and even residents here of- ten experience in locating ad- dresses. Sanitary improvements also were discussed. Recommendations are passed to the new mayor. Dr. J. T. Pettit and council, which took office last night. taught by his good old daddy to waste nothing, so got out to re- trieve the hat, and if possible, re- turn it to the owner. But instead of a lost hat it was on a man’s head—a feller on a mule. A few days ago we had occasion to stop with our friends, the Mc- Intires, down at the rope mill. Not all the clever and hospitable peo- ple live on the pavement. These people insisted on us breaking bread with them which we did in a big way. They are humble peo- ple but clean, honorable and lika- ble. They have more in the cup- bord than we ever had. There are Mr. and Mrs. McIntire and four little Mcs, all healthy, happy and wise enough. They have some of the best boiled ham, gravy and but- termilk. A little school girl who folds papers for us every Friday morn- ing beginning at four-thirty o’clock has the best Sunday school rec- ord we have heard of in these parts. Elizabeth Wallenhaupt has not missed Sunday school in nine years. She attends the Baptist church school every Sunday and reads her bible daily. And she can fold as many papers as any of the other girls. Elizabeth, her sister, Anne Kate, Ruth Smith and Ruby Nelle Dan- iel have been coming to the Trib- une every Friday morning at the unearthly hour of four o’clock for more than two years. They are a (Continued on Page 8) Mayor Pettit Sworn in At First Meeting of New Body for 1939 Plans for a variable speed zone series in Canton were launched Thursday night at the first meet- ing of the new town council, and a warning was issued that violators will be punished. The speed limit is 25 miles an hour. Plans were made to apply this to down-town zones which will be marked by signs, and to grant faster speed privileges in out- skirts. In the meantime, all downtown speed infractions will meet with prompt action, the public was warned. Council decided to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of traffic lights to help the speed control plan. New councilmen are S. E. Hyatt, and W. W. Fincher. Retiring are Councilmen Palmer and Bobo. Mayor Cobb retired after swear- ing in Dr. J. T. Pettit as mayor. Mayor Pettit received from the Ro- tary Club of which he is a mem- ber a beautiful boquet with con gratulations. Council re-elected Officers For- rester and Huey, and Clerk Doss and Fire Chief Sullivan. Methodist Fund For Wesleyan is To be Raised Prominent workers in the Meth- odist Church in its Marietta Dis- trict, which includes Canton are among the more than 150 workers in the campaign to obtain funds with which to repurchase the phy- sical properties of Wesleyan Col- lege, Macon, who have been called to the middle Georgia city on Jan- uary 12 for a special conference on the work, which is now under way in Macon and soon will be in progress throughout the State. The college lost its properties through a foreclosure sale last year, but a bondholders commit- tee which purchased them has granted an option to four friends of Wesleyan which must be exer- cised by March 15. The college is seeking to raise $600,000, an amount which it is said will cover the full purchase price asked for the properties, appraised from $2,- 500,000 to $3,000,000, rental due on the properties this year, interest charges, and campaign costs. The campaign costs will be small, it is said, as the work is being done by men and women within the col- lege and among its friends, no speciality organization being em- ployed. The Marietta District will be un- der the direction of Rev. Augustus Ernest, Marietta. The Macon program will get un- der way at 12:30 o'clock, eastern standard time, with a luncheon at the college. Dr. J. R. McCain, pres- ident of Agnes Scott College, De- catur, and Bishop J. L. Decell will be the speakers. Details of the work will be explained by Dr. Dice R. Anderson, president of the col- lege, and Rev. George E. Clary, South Georgia Conference direct- or of the campaign.
