The United State* Senate haa pass
ed a bill appropriating 12,000,000 for
vocational training courses for wound
ed soldiers and aallon. This is a
wise measure. Nothing should bo left
undone to make the Uvea of those who
am sacrificing their physical wealth
upon the altar of humanity, as happy
as possible and there is no better way
to do thia than to fit them for some
ldnd of employment.
The recent’inventory conducted by
the Georgia Food Administration
showed a surplus of flour in the state
amounting to 60,000 barrels. This
large over-supply bean testimony to
the patriotism of Georgia’s house
wives who by obaerving the regula
tions regarding .wheat consumption,
have piled up this great quantity of
amunition (for indeed it is very ef
fective ammunition and when we
shoot it to the allies it spells death for
the Germans) to bo sent overseas to
help win the. war. These 10,000,000
pounds of flour represent a real sac.
rifice on the part of Georgia people
for the “passing” of tho old fashioned
wheat biscuit has not been accom
plished without many attendant pangs
of regret. This surplus flour is to bo
. bought by the government, assembled
and shipped from n Georgia port at
once to the allies. And thus old
Georgia wilt give further assistance
to tho enuse.

A DESERVED TRIBUTE
The following from the Telfair
Enterprise of lost week will be of in
terest to many people in this oity
and community.
“In this issue of the Enterprise ap
pears a card from Miss Nellis Ault,
teacher in the local schools, who sug-
gests as a fitting memorial to the lata
R. J. Strosier, a tablet Prof. Strol
ler's work here, as sated by Miss Ault
is a grand monument to his efforts, it
is true, but os she further states, Mc
Rae and this section should do some
thing to express its appreciation. Ho
eras a noble and good mftn, one who
gave hi* life for tho benefit of his fel
low man. We heartily commend the
suggestion of Miss Ault to the care
ful consideration of the good people
of this section who knew him so well
for more than a quarter of a
tury.”
This suggestion from one of Mr.
Stroller's co-workers that the people
of McRae where he served so faithful
ly and so long, give expression
thair love and appreciation of hi* life
and worka in a work of marble will
be applauded by the many here who
honor his memory. Tho simplo slab
of marble would be most fitting—
beautifully symbolic of the purity
and simplicity of his life and the in
flexibility of his lofty purpose.
There are many here no doubt who
would count it a privilege to have
part in the ereetion of such a monu
ment to him who in Hfe showed him
self so truly worthy the honor and es
teem of his fellows.

A number of important matters
were discussed, among them being the
personnel in the training camps, the

Georgia’s Wheatless Week—the big voluntary support
at tho Food Administration to quickly export supplies to the
armies in Franco—has resulted in- a saving of “a world of
flour.” Approximately half the people in the state entered
enthusiastically into the movement and actually observed
the ‘‘Wheatless Week.” It “put Georgia over the top” first.
The saving was about 1,250;000 pounds of flour as this
state’s contribution to thp- food needs of the boys who are
shooting the Germans.
Here’s what Mr. Hoover, United States Food Adminis
trator, wired Dr. Andrew M. Soule,_Federal Food Adminis
trator for Georgia, Saturday:
Soule, Food Administrator:
Please express to the people bf Georgia my sincere ap
preciation of their patriotic action in the observance of t
Wheatless Week. Such whole-hearted response to our re
quest is most gratifying and justified my confidence that the
, American people will voluntarily save sufficient food for our
army and the Allies without rationing or other burdensome
regulations. I congratulate you and your staff—and the"
State of Georgia-—for the patriotism of .her people.
