Badly Needs
Big-Three Attention
(Continued I'rom page one.)
the cards, although it -certainly
isn’t something to be shrugged
away lightly. The last meeting of
the Big Three was before Ger
many capitulated, and then there
was unity of policy in the common
objective of beating the Boche.
However, as this column frequent
ly pointed out, differences were
bound to arise as soon as the
fighting stopped and the political
cavalcade began.
One of the first things the Big
Three will have to do, or so it
seems to me, will be to write a
political formula to fit European
rehabilitation. Among the biggest
political problems, of cnurse, is
that relating to Germany’s future
form of government, and in this
connection the Soviet is determin
ed te reach agreements with its
allies which will prevent for all
time the revival of German im
perialism.
Making Mistake
Apropos of this, Moscow be
lieves Britain and America are
making a serious mistake in their
way of handling the Germans. The
Russians think the Anglo-Ameri
can methods are too repressive.
. If the political complexion of
Germany were the only one in
‘lvolved, the task would be easier.
lßut in reaching a tripartite agree
'ment, the western Allies must
'take into consideration this fact:
Communism is making a drive
for power in every country of
Europe. You see it strongly in
evidence in France. The Belgian
throne is tottering. The Balkans
are in volcanic upheaval and the
likelihood is that the crowns of
Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
will find their place in museums.
Poland, Roumania, Czechoslovakia
and Finland have formed govern
ments satisfactory to Moscow.
All of this naturally is pleasing
to Russia. Presumably it isn’t so
pleasing to Britain who can’t but
dislike to see thrones on the conti
nent disappearing, especially those
of Greece, Belgium and Yugo
slavia.
However, facts are facts and
must be faced as such by the Big
Three in Berlin. So far as one can
see now, any political agreement
will have to be along the lines of
permitting the various peoples to
work out their own salvation (bar
ring such isms as Nazis and Ffs
cism) without pressure from the
great power.
~ Skeptics, of course, will raise
an eye-brow and remark that it
‘would be naive to expect such an
‘arrangement to work—that in
fluence will be used. Perhaps so,
but it may be the only practical
’plan to follow.

Very Little Basis
For Uneasiness
About Lack Of Jobs
, “There is very little basis for
uneasiness on the part of work
ers in most communities in Geor-‘
gia that there now is or immedi-‘
ately will be an ‘insufficient num-;
ber of jobs available. Right now
just the contrary seems to be
true,” Thomas H. Quigley, State
Director, 'War Manpower Com
mission, said today. “In the past
60 days, 57,640 workers were re-~
ferred to and accepted employ
ment, with reiatively rew excep
tions, in Georgia’s essential and
less essential industries, business
and civilian services, through the
efforst of the state’s 35 U. S. Em
ployment Offices.” -
This compares, Quigley pointed
out, with 54,332 workers placed in
jobs by the State’s USES offices
during the same period of 1944;
an increase in job placements
this year over last year of 3,318
persons.
However, the State Director
continued, there now are unfilled
job orders in the offices of the
USES for workers in essential in
dustry for more than 22,500 skill
ed and unskilled men and wo
men. :
3 “Unquestionably, there . are
numbers of recently disemployed
workers in Georgia who could,
"and probably will in time, fill
' some of these jobs,” Quigley said.
.“It is most gratifying to know
‘that labor turnover in Georgia
has not increased, as in some
other sections of the country. It
‘is somewhat lower than a year
'ago, and there seems to be no
perceptible ‘increase in lost pro
!duction hours or absenteeism, as
'has been reported from other
sections.”

To Sound Challenge
Of New Generation

of Georgia here in a student-in
dustry conference—first of its
kind ever held.
The students, facing a postwar]
world in which maintenance of a
high level of employment is a 1
major aim, are letting the indus-—{
trial leaders know - what they
want and what they expect. 1
Challenge accepted |
T®e business nad industrial men
in time, give the answer. Business
they say, can and will accept the
challenge.
The student-industry meet .will
be climaxed this. evening when
Jeff Newbern, a senior in the
Colege of Art and Sciences, tells
a Georgian Hotel banquet assem
bly of 200 invitead industry and
University guests that the young
men and women of today are
“Preparing Now for Our Future
Work.”
Newbern is a 20 year old Navy
veteran of Valdosta, Ga.
In answer to Newbern’s ad
dress, Warren Whitney, general
manager of the National Castiron
Pipe Company ' and chairman of
the public relations committee of
the Associated Industries of Ala
bama, will explain “What Indus
try Expects of Leaders of Tomor
row.” Following Whitney on the
program, Robert, E. Lee Hill, exe
cutive secretary of Missouri Ban
kers Association, and chairman of
the public relations committee of
the University of Missouri, is to
point out “Opportunity in the
Business World.” . 2
For years, public speakers and
businessmen of the south, have de
plored the fact that young men—
t.2e best in brains and skill—have
migrated elsewhere for lack of
opportunity at home.
Now they say, “stay south,
young man.”
The theme is the same at any
meeting of which business and
industrial leaders get together te
discuss the course of war, econo
my of the south.
It’s this: a few years ago %ae
south ‘was generally labeled Am
erica’s economic problem No. 1.
Today it is hailed as America’s
opportunity No.. 1.
In the boom of wartime the
south has absorbed, a lot of in
dustrial knowhow, they say. It
has enormous resources. It has
capital. It is making technolo
gical progress.
Magazine writers government
agents, economists, business lead
ers—they all speak of the coming
industrialization of the south as
inevitable, and a solution to the
region’s problems.

Voice Approval Of
Plan For Memorial Park
(Continued from Page One.)
Fairhaven property. It is a
move that has splendid pos
sibilities and in the hands of
the citizens devoted to the
task of carrying it forward
would prove of untold value.
Warren C. Thurmond:
“The plan is a splendid one
and I think the Fairhaven
property would prove mosi
valuable to the city as a
muchly-needed park.”
Mrs. Hubert Yow: “Trans
forming the old Fairhaven
Hospital property into a
Memorial Park is a lovely
idea.”
Mrs. Ruby Hartman: “The
plan to convert the Fairhaver
land into a Memorial Park is
a splendid one. We badiy
need parks here and I don’t
know anywhere else we
could get property that cost
$50,000 so easily.”
Cody David: “It’s the best
oppotunity that has come
our way in a long time to
have at least one park with
sufficient acreage to provide
some badly needed recrea
tional facilities for the peo
ple of Athens, I am most
heartily in favor of the plaa
and hope it will not be de
layed in any way.”
Mrs, J.. A. Darwin: “It
would be a mighty fine
thing for all of Athens if
the Fairhaven property is
converted into a Memorial
Park. I can’t think vl a better
way of paying tribute to our
men and women who went
into service thap by taking
this construetive and pro
gressive step. Let's do it.”
H. C. Pearson: “I think it
is one of the finest ideas that
has come to light here in a
long time. It is a fitting hon
or to the men and women in
service and would prove
most valuable to the men,
women and children of Ath
ens. By al} means take ad
vantage of this remarkable
opportunity. It might not
come again.
Mrs. John Hart: “I think
it is very essentiaj that the
plan to make Fairhaven into
a Memorial Park be carried
to completion. Our city has
fearfully felt the shortage of
a park where all citizens
might find recreation and
enjoyment in their leisure
hours without having to zv
elsewhere. The opportunity
is here now to do something
that not only is badly need
ed but must be done within
a few years.”
Mrs. Ralph Goss: “The
plan to make Fairhaven into
Memoria] Park is one of the
most beautiful as well as
practical ideas that has been
suggested here in manv
years, Athenians will be most
thankful to their city gov
ernment if this progressive
step is taken. It will help
remedy long suffered need
here.”
J. S. Wolfe: “We have all
felt the need of a large rec
recreation reservation for the
people of Athens and Ciarkl
county. We ceriainly cannot
have too many. The offer of
the county te let the city de
velop Fairhaven property as
a Memorial Park is com
mendable and 1 believe if
accepted will meet with
general approval.”
Miss Anngke Foster: *“The
plan is a splended one and
should be fulfilled by all
means.”
Rev. David Cady Wright:
“It's a grand idea and should
be carried out to the fullest

because the people of Athens
have long been in need of a
real park. We should put this
project over and without de
lay.”
Dr. N. G. Slaughter: “I
think it's a wonderful idea.
I've often felt that we should
have a park in Athens. It
seems to be an opportune
time now to construct it
without extraordinary ex
pense.”
P. F. Woodall: “I am hear
tily in favor of the project.
This seems to be another step
in Athens’ growth of civie
pride. And it seems fitting
and proper to me that the
park should be constructed
to honor the men of the
Second World War. Congrat
ulations to those who formu
lated the plan.”
James Matthews: “I ram
very enthusiastic over the
proposal of a memorial prak.
We need such a project to
completé the growth of our
city, which has certanly
leaped forward during this
war.”
Henry Davis: “I think it's a
swell idea. Athens has needed
a park for a long time. I'm

Mrs. Hugh Fowler: “If they

park is a beautiful tribute for
Athens to make honoring

greatest possible service in

D. Weaver Bridges: “The

pool has demonstrated the
populraity of re¢reational fa
cilities with the ’'people of
Athens, and I know. they will
be gratified by the offer of
the county to make Fairhaven
available as a Memorial Park.
I hope the plan will be car
ried through and that our
city will be able to enjoy this
added opportuniyt for a
muchly needed park.”
Rev. Hugh Eberhart: “I
think the plan is a splendid
one and should be carried
out because it will provide
some much needed recrea
tional facilities for all of our
citizens, old as well as
young.”
Mrs. Henry Compton:
“There is no doubt that Ath
ens is sorely in need of a park
and the offer of Fairhaven as
a Memorial Park certainly
provides the best opportunity
we have ever had, or proba
bly will ever have, to secure
muchly needed recreational

Judge of the Juvenile Court,
it has been deeply impressed

sorest needs is an adequate

can find a place that will
