Twenty-onelstates |have acted on the amendment and twenty lone have voted in favor of its repeal indi |cating in no uncertain terms that a large majority of the people of this country favor the return to freedom of the manu facture and sale of alcoholic beverages. The Christian Science Monitor in quoting Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee, gives his four reasons for favoring repeal of the presert prohibi tion law. | In a public statement given to the press on the question, Bishop Gailor, said: *I am in favor of the repeal of the Eighteenth} Amendment”. Following the foregoingl statement Bishop Gailor submitted the four following reasons: | “1. The amendment was adopted with out a just and adequate effort to ascertain ,the mind and will of all the people. As a sumptuary law it ought not to have been imposed upon a respectable minority. 1 believe that such laws should be passed only by practical unanimity of opinion. “2. The law has incited and encouraged crime and lawlessness of every kind, and| has taken revenue from the governments and given it to bootleggers and racketeers.[ “3:. I am in favor of the repeal because, as a Southern man, I have been taught to believe in states’ rights, and that no single group of states ought in justice be permit ted to force.their peculiar views of man-| ners and morals upon all the states of theg Union. “4, The repeal of the amendment will leave the decision of the question of prohi ‘bition to the individual states, and will not abrogate any law on the subject that thf people of Tennessee may see fit ta en act.” It is the general belief in Tennessee that the foregoing statement containing the four reasons, were responsible for that state voting for the repeal Amendment. He is highly esteemed, respected and loved by the pople of that state irrespective of creed or denomination. Disagreeing with the views of Bishop Gailor, the editor of the Christian Science Monitor submits the following comments on his four reasons: “1. No amendmen to the United Statest Constitution was ever adopted with such decisive and overwhelming support as marked the ratification of prohibition. Only two out of the forty-eight states fail ed to ratify this amendment in contrast to the fact that four out of seventeen states refused to approve the first eleven amend-" ments including the Bill of Rights, and| that the succeeding amendments werel ‘adopted with even less unanimity. “2. Crime and lawlessness have accom-I panied every effort in every country of thel world to cope with the liquor traffic and| the bigger and more vigorous the effort,‘ the greater have been the attacks of crime and lawlessness. We can take our choice which we shall give in to. “3. The idea of federal unity which rests behind the Eighteenth Amendment, far from being a violation of the doctrine of states’ rights, is one of the highest ex pressions of this doctrine; for it is the sov ereign right as specifically provided in the Constitution of three-fourths of the states to- adopt a uniform national policy and to have that policy administered uniformly and cooperatively by the federal and state governments. This is the sovereign right of the United States. It is this right which makes the United States united. “4, The repeal of the FEighteenth Amendment, as Bishop Gailor correctly observes, willleave the decision of the ques tion of prohibition to the individual states. By 1920 forty-six of the forty-eight Amer ican states through long years of attempts to deal with the liquor traffic on the basis of forty-eight different methods and 2,304 different boundaries had become convin ced that national action was necessary to meet this national problem.” The foregoing reasons, for and against the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment,‘ as set up by the distinguished Bishop and ieditor, represent their honest convictions.? without prejudice or narrowness of views on- the all important question of prohibi tion.- ‘ ' MADE-OVER HATS ' The Federal Trade Commission has cre ated a stir among the unscrupulous man ufacturers and dealers in old hats. That is old hats made-over and sold for new ones. These dealers have met with a prof itable business for years. Some of these old hats are bought, to be sure, but a great many of them are taken from garbage cans and like receptacles, carted to the factories and made-over, giving the ap vwearance of brand new head gear. 1 ‘Heavy penalties have been imposed in a number of instances and the “fakers” warnea against continuing in business, unless their hats are labled “old hats made-over”’, Nine concerns in New York were dealt with aud ordered that in future when selling such hats to retail dealers that the buyers must be informed as to the quality of the hats, also the hats must be labled accordingly. Some dealers endeavored to justify their action by stating that customers never asked for a “new hat”, but simply asked for “a hat.” However, that excuse was not accepted by the government officials, and the dealers were informed that such prac tices must be discontinued or else offend ing dealers would pay the price of their misrepresentations with penalities of fines and imprisonment. .

It is bad enough to counterfeit money, but when it comes to counterfeit ing the honor and integrity .of the citizenship, wunder the seal of the government, character and loyalty are at a low ebb with such peo ple. It is not believed that firms | or corporations will cooperate in! any such methods calculated to ’defeat the purpose of the recoveryi' fact as promulgated by President Roosevelt. ‘ i ] The Bellgrade Manufactur ing company, of Winder, has opened a plant here at the corner of Broad and Foundry | streets, for the manufacture of I children’s one piece suits, | This plant is employing sixty | people and is running on full time. It is the purpose of its owners to increase the capacity of the plant by installing additional machinery and increasing the* number of employes. Mr. John J. | Wilkins, jr., is the president of the | ‘Bellgrade company, and Mr, John! J. Wilkins, sr., is the chairman of the board of directors. The oVer-I all .plant is one of the largest ini the state, and has been operating | on full time during the period of ‘adverse business conditions. “wimen é | The amendment to the gen- i eral reorganization bill, en- | acted by the 1931 legislature, Provides for appropriations to ’ . be made in a lump sum to the | Beard of Regents of the Uni- , versity System of Georgia, i Heretofore, each institution in| the system independently intro- | duced . bills for uppropriations,! ‘without restriction as to amounts] or for the interest of the system | as a whole. It was a case of the| “survival of the fittest,” usually | terminating in a free for @ aill scramble .from which all institu-; itions suffered. Now it is differ- | \ent; the Board of Regents make | up a carefully planned budget, lsubmit it to the lezislatura to"bn‘ l,ii‘corporated in, the general Mp- | propriation bill and through this | board, each institution is alldt"i'tcfl'l amounts believed to be just and adequate for the operation of the schools and higher educationil institutions in the system. The plan this year worked most suc cessfully, eliminating all rivalry and friction among the heads of the various branches of the Uni versity System of Georgia. ™% In days gone by, represen tatives of the wvarious educa tional institutions spent weeks around the eapitol, mixing and mingling with the representa tives and sénators. Securing appropriations was due, in a great measure, to the {popularity of the heads and friends of the institutions. Enter taining of the legislators by the friends of the iastitutions was a popular feature of the campaign for appropriations. The rival feel ing between the friends of these institutions sometimes grew into bitterness, created by charges and counter charges of the merits and demerits of the institution, all es which resulted in the creation eof prejudices that lived from one session of the legislature to the next., That spirit of antagonism, however, has been dispelled by the enactment of the amendment to the general reorganization meas ure which provides for appropria tions to be paid in & lump sum to the Board of Regents. Section 1 of the amendment to the general reorganization act sets at rest any fear of future rivalry afising between the institutions of the Uni versity System of Georgia. , The section reads as follows: “Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after June 30, 1933, that all appropriations already made or hereafter made for the use of any or all instjtutions in the Univer sity System of Georgia be paid to Regents of the University Sys tem of Georgia in a lump sum, with the power and authority in said Regents of the University System of Georgia to allocate and, or distribute the same among the institutions under their control in }_buch way and manner, and in such amount or amounts, as will fur ther an efficient and economical administration of the ' University System of Georgia.” - —lagging appetite I'here is a reasonable way to cor rect this condition.

M. Grier. The plan, [inu:ngm‘ated in 1930, was put into f\vus. put into complete . effect | throughout the white schools of Etlm city during the past year, and | will be continued in the future. | Of ‘a totat of 16,002 textbooksl iuwned by the board of education| | s 'and rented to Athens children i(mly 47 were leost through were and misplacement. Books were 51’m-ni.~;hed free to 445 charity pu- M;ils at a cost of $1,210, thereby }nnub]ing many who would other wise have been unable to purchase textbooks to receive the necessaryl materials. The superintendent’sl report states however, that in the future a more definite plan for giving charity pupils . books will have to be inaugurated. The chief . advantages of the rental book plan,' says Mr. Grier,’ is that it is economically sound and educationally efficient. It pro vides every child with a set of books on the opening day of school; it provides any child who is too poor to pay for them with a set of books, for this is one of the ways in which profits of the system are expended; it solves the question of patrons moving from one community to another; |: it permits a change of texts|' whenever desirable; and it per mits the destruction of books that | have been exposed to conatgious diseases. Another of its advantages is that profits from the plan will provide funds for the purchase ofl supplementary reading material' for school grade libraries, or maps, and other instructional material. Fees charged for the rental of books and instructional material used range from §52.25 to, $2.75 in the elementary and departmental schools, and from $250 to $4.00 in the High scohol. The fees in the High school, of cburse, vary | according to the course taken and the class to which the student belongs, inasmuch 4s laboratory equipment and material is.used in some and not in other courses. The books used remain the :property of the school, and on thei last day of the scholastic year a list of the books to be used thel following year is given each child, together with a statement ot‘:the, rental fees for each grade. A tribute to the efficiency of the plan used in the Athens schools was made in 1931, when the text book committee of the Georgia Education association unanimous- Iy recommended just such a plan for furnishing textbooks to the school children of Georgia, after making an exhaustive study of ‘the various plans used in Kansas, California, Mississippi and Onta rio. The plan was adopted by the association.
