AN ATHENS CHRONICLE

By May 1828, the senate of the

aroused the South and caused
many an inhabitant of this _section

of John Quincy Adams. At Dan

Lt the University were incensed
against the tariff and adopted res

the North would soon learn how

A REGULAR EVENT
Legionnaires Continue
Canvass Awaiting Com
missioners’ Decision.
While .the completion of the

Center is dependent upon appro
priations of SB,OOO each by the
city and county, officials of the
Post in discus.sing plans for a
continuous program of activity,
revealed today that “County Day”
will be a regular event at e
Center.
“We want to make the recrea
tional center a real Community
Center,” D, Weaver Bridges,
chairman of the Legion, Inc,
board of directors, said today,
“and as a part of our program of
activity we propose to set aside
a day to be known as ‘County
Day.’
“On ‘County Day,’ the members
of the Athens Growers Market
and their families, will be guests
of the Legion for a cooling splash
in the swimming pool. We also
propose to have on ‘County Day/’
the school children of Clarke
county as our guests for an en
joyable program of entertain
ment. Be believe ‘County Day’
can be made an event which will
prove of great value to our com
munity, as well as a means of
providing pleasure.”
Heretofore, it lis pointed out,
Athens has had no place where
residents of the city and county,
or visitors to the city, could gath
er for recreation. It is believed
that the Community Center will,
therefore, be. a means of bringing
the people of Athens, Clarke

Emporia, Kansas Has Hot Time;
Herbert Hoover Comes to Town
EMPORIA, Kas. — () — There’
were big doin’'s at the home of
William Allen White last night.
Herbert Hoover was in town.
The sage of Emporia, who has
been rushing to meet editions as
a writer and publisher most of his
life, made one “deadline” after an
other for i¢he event—one of those
homey affairs for which Bill and
his wife, Sallie, are noted.
It was a spontaneous affair.
When White heard the former
president, his long time friend and
political crony was coming through,
he telegraphed his Republican
compatriots:
“Let's give a party for Hoover.

THE FIGHT ON COMMUNISM
That the country as a whole is not disposed to pool
pooh the suggestion that communist activities are ram
pant in the United States may be assumed from news
e dispatches in the Sunday papers, detailing combative
measures that are being inaugurated in different sec
tions.
In Boston a charter was granted to an association of
school masters who pledge themselves to use every
method at their disposal to instil in their charges, a
spirit of loyalty to their country, and an aversion to
those subversive influences, which communist agitators
seek to inculcate in the youth of the land.
The American Legion promised an early sensational
disclosure of the names of the chief promoters of a far
reaching campaign of un-American activities, with es
pecial reference to the Soviet plan of ‘“‘educating” boys
and girls—the men and women of tomorrow,
In Washington, it was planned to introduce proposed
legislation today to strengthen the hand of the govern
ment in dealing with those who seek the overthrow of
the government.
And to get nearer home, the Georgia Legislature has
before it an anti-sedition bill and also a proposal requir
ing that all instructors in state supported institutions of
learning subseribe to the oath of allegiance to the
United States government.
We will have to admit that we never thought the day
would dawn when our lawmakers should deem it ex
pedient to require an oath of allegiance from school
teachers in Georgia—Georgia, with a .white population
that is prepon?erantly Anglo-Saxon and gingularly free
from alien influences; Georgia, whose honorable tradi
tions for patriotism and loyalty has never been ques
tioned and whose escutcheon is unsoiled by the taint of
seditious proclivities in any form or fashion,
Yet, with the tentacles of the Moscow regime seeking
a strangle-hold even in the most remote section, there is
no justification in assuming that Georgia will be neg
lected in this colossal and insidious scheme of world
revolution and universal chaos. So it is perhaps a duty
that Georgia owes her boys and girlstosee to it that they
do not come under the plighting influence of school
teachers who are not loyal to the government which en
trus(;cs to them the proper education of the youth of the
land. : j
It is possible that there are school teachers in Georgia
who will refuse to subscribe to the oath of allegiance—
but we doubt it. It is our opinion that our public instruc
tors, in the main, are loyal Americans, but even sO,
there is mo impropriety’ in having them re-dedicate
themselves; moreover, should the time ever come when
soviet sympathizers seek ‘to enroll as school teachers,
such a law may prove very useful.
We would like to see the Legislature go a step further
and require the same oath of visiting lecturers who fre
quent our higher institutions of learning. Pray what
do we accomplish, when we make loyalty to government
and its institutions a pre-requisite to employment as
teachers, if we continue to admit to our campuses SO
- “guest speakers” who expound doctrines which,
if not red, are in many instances a decided pink? Let
them sign the oath of allegiance before being admitted.
If we plan to close some of' the avenues of possible
ingress of doctrine that is foreign to our belief and our
traditions, and calculated to arouse discontent and dis
trust let’s do a good job and stop all of them.
