after the room had been cleaned
and made attractive, and the li
brary branch opened for business.
‘One or two articles were written
tabout the new branch, and there
was relief as well as joy for the
staff and members of the library
board. But it was short - lived. A
regular tenant rented the space.
Mr. Homer Nicholson and Dr.
Frank Hammett were passing the
building when the Chairman and
Librarian were standing in the
entrance wondering where in the
world they would go next, for it
' was during the War, and every
iuvuil::hle building in Athens was
occupied, Dr. Hammett and Mr.
Nicholson, when appealed to, of
’ sered the use of the present Court
ihnusc branch, and it was eagerly
seized with grateful appreciation.
Little did any of those same peo
ple think that the use of those
quarters would continue for two
and a half years. At the time they
thought it would last for 30 or 60
days. In fact the County Commis
sioneers asked the Library to find’
other gquarters because so many of|
the County services needed spacei
in the Courthouse. However, in—-‘
stead of getting out, the Library
was like an octopus, for the book
shelyves overflowed, more were
built, and_ finally the magazine
file of back numbers was brought
to the Courthouse and stored. Now
that original room and more space
have been taken over by the staff
and board of the Fegional Li
brary. There is not another square
foot available in that Court House
—the sheriff wants the same space,
and others in the Court House
want it.
. From “Pillar To .Post” .
- “This Library has been pitched
from pillar to post for its entire
career, but it has continued to ex
pand and grow past anyone’s hope
or prediction. It just could not be
downed.
“Other necessary things of our
City were provided for by the
early citizens, a gas works in 1852,
a telegraph line so Union Point in
1852, the Georgia Railroad in 1833,

AFL President William Green

‘the government was largely re

Source Of Mystery
House Committee members dug
around .to find the source of a
mystery news release which pur
ported to “give ‘highlights of
Green’s testimony. :
The handout, which referred
to Green as “apparently angry,”
seemingly “infuriated,” was given
1o reporters covering, the hearings.
purportedly it was from the of
fice of Chairman Hartley (R-NJ).
He disowned it. So did everyone

call themselves Democrats.
Mayor Harvey Kennedy of
Barnesville, co-chairman of the
organization, said the party dom
inated by the late Eugene Tal
madge consistently fought the
late President Franklin D. Roose
[velt and all the program of the
‘national Democratic Party during
his administration.
l “Let’s keep our Democratic
lParty, and let Talmadge and
‘them have the Cracker Party. I
idon’t like for them to call them
iselves Democrats,” said W. M.
Cox of Lebanon.
One speaker declared that the
state of Georgia already had two
‘parties, the Talmadge party and
the anti-Talmadge party. He said
that the Talmadge forces repre
sent a minority in Georgia and
‘that they have gained control by
dividg\g' their opposition.
«I don’t want Roy "Harris as
Governor of Georgia, I want tb
‘be with the right kind of Demo
‘eratic Party,” said H. G. John
son, tax collector of Spalding
county.
“True Democratic Party”
The meeting, presided over by |
Judge Blanton Ferison of Ath—i
ens, State Chairman of Aroused {
Citizens,” expressed sentiment |
that the group oppoesed to Tal-l
madge shoulgd maintain itself as
the true Democrati¢ Party and
tag Talmadge and his faction as
“Jolters” because-of-the write-in
maneuver which secured the
Governorship for him. ' -
Tom Johnson*of Macon said, “I
am opposed to appeasement of.
dictatorship whether in Haly;
Germany or Georgia. I don’t want
to take this thing lying down. If |
we make this fight we will find‘
that there are hundreds of thous
ands of people in Georgia who
will fight with us, and we will
win. »

H. H. Trotti .of Decatur, was]
