Dr. Wheeler, who was recog
nized nationally as a leader in
agricultural education, was “the
¢t full-time employee in the
field of vocational education in
agriculture in Georgia, coming to
the University of Georgia in Oc
¢ tober, 1917.
Initiated System
He initiated the apprenticeship
eystem for training teachers of vo
cational agriculture in 1928, this
) practice later becoming a state re
quirement for all teachers of vo
cational agriculture and home
economics. The Georgia program
for training teachers of agricul
| ture has gained 'national recogni
tion.
Besides his untiring efforts in
the field of vocational agriculture,
Dr. Wheeler was extremely in
terested in Future Farmers of
America activities. He was award
ed the American Farmer Degree—
hishest FFA degree—at the 1948
national convention in Kansas
City.
Dr. Wheeler held at B.Pd. de
gree from Teachers College, Mans
field, Pa.: B. S. A. degree and M.
S. degree from University of Wis
consin: and Ph.DD. degree from
Cornell.
' . Before coming to the University
b of Georgia he taught at Teachers
College, Mansfield, Pa. and Mass
achusetts Agricultural College. At
the time of his appointment to the
teacher training position at Geor
~ gia he was professor of horticul
ture at the Massachusetts school.
The Georgia State Vocational
Board at its first meeting in Au-
P gust of 1917 authorized David C.
. Barrow, the chairman, to develop
a training program for teachers of
vocational agriculture. A commit
tee was chosen to select the man to
' inaugurate the organization.
After the committee selected Dr.
. Wheeler, Chancellor Barrow ad
~ dressed the following letter to
~ President K. L. Butterfield of the
. Massachusette Agricultural Col

was estimated at $lO.
All of which brought a warning
from Chief Clarence Roberts to
local citizens, not to leave their
cars unlocked. This rule applies
even though no valuables are left
in the cars, since one car was stol
en here earlier in the week and
another attempt failed.
RECORDER’S COURT
Judge Price heara three cases
in Recorde’s Court today. Two of
the defendants charged with
drunkenness. were found guilty
and fined $10.75. ‘

“The University of Georgia has
taken the very great responsibility
of training teachers of agriculture
for the newly developing field
called Vocational Education. I
think this is a very important mat
ter . . . Nothing has yet been done
but much must be done quickly.”
“The salary will be compara
tively small to begin with.
“Professor James, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, speaks high
ly of your Mr. Wheeler (John T.
Wheeler). Would he be interested
in our teacher training situation?”

his influenced thousands of young

to Dr. Wheeler’s wise leadership
in preparation of teachers.”

WORMS TURN UP IN CANS—Newest aid to fishermen is canned

“Unification of our armed forces
is the most significant military
development in the post-war era,”
stated Major General Brannon, U,
S. Army Judge Advocate General,
in his Armed Forces Day address
at the Fine Arts Auditorium.
General Brannon, a West Point
graduate -and the highest-ranking
officer in the legal branch of the
U. 8. Army, was introduced by
Col, J. Alton Hosch, dean of the
University Law School.
He.cited the military problem of
the United States as a threefold
one; maintaining sufficient
strength to discourage aggression,
being prepared to fight in the
event that war comes, and keep
ing our national economy in a
healthy state.
Teamwork Important
“Teamwork in the armed forces
is as important as teamwork in
business and en the athletic field,”
he continued. The passing of the
National Security Act of 1947 pro
vided for effective use of defense
appropriations in peacetime and a
unified military effort in time of
war.
“One of the most important
functions of the military forces in
peacetime lies in the field of re
search and development,” he add
ed. “This would be a fertile field
for overlapping and duplication of
effort if each of the three serv
ices worked independently.”

FOUR NEWSMEN
ATTACKED AT
KLAM MEETING
MIAMI, Fla, May 18—(AP)—
Four newsmen were attacked by
armed guards last night as they
attempted to observe an alleged
Ku Klux Klan reorganization
meeting in suburban Hialeah,
Two of the Klansmen were
knocked down by Miami Daily
News Photographer Paul Nielson
and one went into a drainage
canal. The newsmen said one of
their attackers was a Miami
shores policeman.
The Tnewspapermen were
Haines Colbért and Don Petit, re
porters for the Miami Daily
News; Jay Morton, publisher of
the Hialeah Home News, and Niel
son.
Petit said in a story he wrote
for the Daily News that the re
surgent Klan was to distribute 500
new applications for membership
and additionally had 500 renewal
of membership forms.
Colbert described the incident
as follows:
“The meeting place was a box
like clubhouse at Red Road and
44th Street.
“When Petit and I tried to ap
proach the building, a stocky man
wearing a white sports shirt’ stop
ped us. The grip of an automatic
pistol protruded from his belt.”
Colbert said he and Petit tried
to talk their way into the build
ing. Nielson and Morton approach
ed, and another guard rushed
them, swearing at Morton.
“Get out of here or you'll wind
up in a ditch,” he guard shouted,
striking Morton with a flashlight.
Nielson, a 19-year-old Univer
.sity of Miami student, flattened
Morton’s attacker with on punch.
A third guard came on the run
and Nielson set him down hard
with a punch. This third man was
recognized as a Miami shores
policeman.
The man in the canal crawled
out, pointing his pistol at Nielson.
!There the affray ended with the
arrival of a police squad car. The
officers made an investigation and
reported they could discover no
law violation.

A spokesman for the Rock Island,

PHONE STRIKE
THREAT ENDED
BY CONTRACT
ATLANTA, May 18—(AP) —
After more than four months, ne
gotiators hdve agreed on a new
contract between Southera Bell
Telephone Company and the CIO
Communication Workers of Amer
ica. It may mean an increase in
phone bills in the soutl east.
. The more than 53,000 non-su
pervisory workers affected in nine
Southeastern States do not get a
general wage increase, which the
union had been demanding. They
do get a revision in wage scales to
allow a worker to reach top scale
in six and a half years instead of
eight years.
In ad.ition, Southern Bell
agreed to reclassify employes in
27 cities and towns to put them in
‘higher wage schedules.
In announcing the agreement
yesterday, the company said it
will have to have additional rate
increases to pay for the new con
tract. The company said it has not
yet determined how much the
contract will cost, but added that
in the past 10 years wages have
gone up faster than rates and the
new agreement will further widen
the gap.
W. A. Smallwood, head of the
Regional CWA, had “no comment”
on the agreement, which will be
come effective upon approval by
top national union officiers and
ratification by the membership.
Hal Dumas, Southern Bell pres~
ident, termed it “fair to both tele
phone customers and to our em
ployes.” He said a general wage
hike would have cost customers
millions of dollars more in rate
increases.
The union had been fighting
since January for a 15-cent an hour
wage increase, a 35 hour work
week instead of 40, wage scale re
vision and reclassification.
Dumas said in a statement the
new agreement makes it “neces-

sary for the company to seek im
mediately rate increases over and
above those alrcady needed.”
“Eight general wage increases '’
have been granted to our employ
es in the last 10 years,” he added.
“These wage increases have al
ready been costing the company
annually about $24,000,000 more
than the rate increases which
have been authorized during the
same period.”
Specific cities and towns in
which employes will be boosted to
