liighty Instruments And Six
4 o
Majorettes In A.H.S. Band
(EDITOR’S NOTE—This is the second of two articles concern
ing the progress of Athens High School’s band.)
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
More than 80 students of Athens High and Junior High
chools are taking band in the music department of the
hivh school today, and from the advance reports concern
ing next year’s expected turnout, enrollment in band
classes wlil exeeed the present status by a large number.
Director T. J.:Byrnes of the
Athens High musie departmenti
and director of the band is ex
pecting an even miore successful |
vear with his band next year than
has been experienced this year.
“Only one key man will be lost
from this year’s aggregation,” Mr.
Byrnes said recently, “and with
added experience attained by
many of the students this season,
we are expecting a very success
-1‘1"9 year.”
% Hitchcock Leads Band
The student band is led this
year by Cadet Captain Lloyd
Htichcock, Jr. Cadet Hitchcock is
serving his third year in the A. H.
S. band and has proven to be as
capable a leader as he is a musi=
cian. Cadet Hitchcock has played
with the band and directed the
students through the many intri
cate turns of their parade forma
tions in each of the Athens High
football games at which the band
has appeared. ;
Very talented as a musician
with any of the woodwind or brass
instruments of''the” band, Lloyd
names as_his favorite instrument
the cornet, which he has played
for two years in‘the band.
The band has performed ' very
creditably at half-time in all of
Athens High’s football games, this
year, including four, home games
and four games to which the band
travelled by bus. At Thomaston,
where 70 members went in two
buses, the band gave what many
termed its “best performance yet,”
and staged one of the snappiest
half-time parades to be seen at a
high school game.
Comely Majorettes
Six comely majorettes add to
the color of the band’s parades and
give the crowds something else
to cheer about. Captained by sen
ior Joann Morrow and petite Rita
Loyd, the maxorette staff is com
prised of Nancy Lindsey, Reba
Brown, Betty Freeman, and Peg
gy Bradberry—as charming a ma
jorette staff as one can find any
where. Each of the girls are ex
perts at the art of twirling batons
and have mastered the traditional
“majorette high-step” to its ut
most.
The majorettes precede the band
when there is a ade to be stag
ed and set a sts‘;g:&épace,for the
following band. The majorettes
were chosen “after weeks of prac
tice in the skill§ of baton-twirling
and elected Miss Morrow as cap

Biggest Thrills
Asked about his greatest thrill
in his band career, one member
said that his was playing in place
of the Chattanooga band in Geor
gia’s first home game this season.
Another said that his was partici
pating in the festivities to give the
Bulldogs a royal sendoff for North
Carolina last year. Another youth
ful member said that his greatest
sense of accomplishment was in
“playing his part and praying it
right.”
The Athens High Boosters’ Club
is planning to send the band to
Cartersville tomorrow night for
Athens High'’s game there. With
the co-operation of organizations
like the Boosters Club, the Athens
High band shows promise of even
greater improvement next year
and the year after that.
The spirit for accomplishment is
there and with the aid of the

IRISH POTATO
TO LOSE ITS
GROWER APPEAL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—(AP)
—The Irish potato will lose some
of its glamor for growers next
year. F .
The potato won’t be supported
in the manner to which it has be
come accustomed. Not by one
third, in fact.
Instead of the 90 per cent of
parity guarantee of recent years,
growers in 1949 will be assured by
the government of getting only 60
per cent of the theoretical “fair to
everyone’ price.
And to be certain of even that
much, the growers %ust not plant
more potatoes than they are told.
Supporting potato prices has
cost the government dearly. So
far this year the bill amounts to
about $100,000,000, compared with
the previous high of nearly $91,-
000,000 in 1946. Last year’s bill
was $39,500,000.
The trouble has been two-fold.
Farmers planted more and more
potatoes and Americans ate fewer
and fewer. So the government had
to buy the surplus under its sup
port program.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan announced the new 60 per
cent support level for 1949-crop
potatoes last night. He said he
didn’t like to do it, but had no
other course in view of the high
cost of the potato program.
Brannan also set a goal of 1,-
938,300 acres of potatoes for next
year. This is about 200,000 acres
below this year’s planting.
Each state was assigned a goal.
Eventually each county, then each
grower, will get one. To be eligible
for price support, a farmer must
not exceed his individual goal.

Forrestal,
Truman Talk
Peace Defense
KEY WEST, Fla.,, Nov. 18 —
(AP)—The flight here of Secre
tary of Defense Forrestal today
foreshadowed possibly historic
diplomatic and defense steps to
preserve the world’s precarious
peace.
Forrestal flew southward to
talk with President Truman about
the ominous march of events in
China and the threat of further
trouble in Europe and elsewhere.
The developing diplomatic cri
as transformed this naval sub
marine base from a Presidential
vacation retreat into a”conference
site upon which the basis for a
restatement of American interna
tional policy may be laid.
“#Mr. Truman is flying back to
‘Washington Sunday for a full
scale review of the peace outlook
with Secretary of State Marshall
and roving ECA Ambassador W.
Averell Harriman.
' His conference today with For
restal is expected to be prelimi
nary to his White House survey of
the entire diplomatic picture.
Developments yesterday over
shadowed speculation about when
Forrestal might leave the cabinet.
His departure from Washington
was preceded by his announce
ment that:
1. Marine forces are to be in
creased by 1,250 men at Tsingtao,
China where 3,600 are now sta
tioned.
2. Two transports are going in
to Chinese ports to remove Amer
icans from the path of advancing
Communist forces.
’ 3. He assumed the question of
rearming Western Europe “will
come under a series of things I
}will take up with the President.”
4. He will remain at his post
as long as the President wants
him, and that he is “at the service
of the President.”
Forrestal, just returned from an
inspection of European trouble
areas, said his department has
prepared ‘a budget for the three
armed services within the fifteen
billion dollar limit set by Mr. Tru
man and the budget bureau.
Asked whether it would mean
any serious change in thg Navy's
big carrier program or A& Forces
expansion to 70-group strength,
he replied:
. “Well, there will be adjust
ments. All of these programs, of
course, have to be fitted economi
cally to a fiscal pattern. The pre
cise details of the results of this
budget I haven’t yet fully exam
ined but that will be available.”

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 18
'—(AP) — The court battle over
Alabama’s 11 electoral votes head
ed into another round today after
a federal judge refused to stop the
presidential electors from voting
for the State Rights ticket.
| Judge C. B. Kennamer, in U. S,
| District Court at Monegomery de-
Inied Gov. James E. Folsom’s re
'quest for a temporary injunction
which would have prevented the
electors from supporting anyone
but President Truman. The are
pledged to Gov. J. Strom Thur
mond.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Griffin, a
Imember of the governor's legal
staff, said a similar suit against
two of the electors will be heard
in State court at Decatur tomor-
TOW.
The suit, directed at electors
Ben Bloodworth and Norman Har
ris of Decatur is one of several
filed in Circuit Court in conjunc
tion with the Federal Court ac
tion.” Tomorrow’s hearing will be
the first in State Court.
Judge Kennamer, a Republican,
did not dispose of the governor’s
cage entirely. He settled only the
question of a temporary injunc
tion and said nothing about the
other parts of the suit. Another
hearing was set for Nov. 30, thus
preventing Folsom’s attorneys
from appealing to a higher court
before that time. .
Yet to be decided are the gov
ernor’s petition for a permanent
injunction, a writ of mandamus to
make the electors vote for the
President and declaratory judge
ment defining the electors’ duties.
In denying the temporary in
junction, Judge Kennamer held
that his court has no jurisdiction
in the elector dispute. He said he
could not find anything in Fol
som’s bill of complaint to show
that the people were denied the
right to vote for President.
~ He said it was impossible for
‘him to determine for whom they
intended to vote.
“How could this court make tl(xf
electors break faith with the ped
'ple who elected them?” he asked.

Truman To
Seek Hike In
Postal Rates
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—(AP)
~President Truman will renew
with vigor next year his plea for
higher postal rates to help balance
the budget, those in the know said
today.
The postoffice department now
seems {iakely to wind up $500,000,-
000 in the red next June 30-—an
unprecedented loss which would
account for more than a third of
the deficit forecast for the entire
government's operation this fiscal
year.
Officials told a reporter private
ly the increases most certain to
be proposed will involve second
class mail—macde up chiefly of
newspapers and magazines.
They said the reason is that the.
postoffice denartment rates ‘that
category as its biggest money
loser. They insisted theé fact that
a majority of the nation’s press
opposed Mr. Truman's election is
beside the point.
To emphasize their no-retalia
tion contention, they recalled that
the President recommended pos
tal rate boosts in each of the last
two years and followed up the
first suggestion with a specific
bill drafted by the Postmaster
Genieral,
A feature of that bill was sharp
ly boosted rates for second class
matter.
But it never got out of commit
tee for a vote in either house of
Congress.
The President spoke out again,
but less emphatically, for higher
postal rates in his budget message
last year-—again to the Republi
can-dominated 80th Congress.
Next January, however, the
President will have a Democrat
dominated Congress containing a
number of new faces. And, admin
istration sources say, he will
“strongly urge” the rate boosts,
