fWinder Publication Tells
" Of "Best-Known Product”
“The wind-swept town of Winder in the rolling,
blood-red Georgia hills 52 miles northeast of At=
lanta,” which was recently mentioned in Time
Magazine as the home of Senator Richard Russell,
candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomina
tion, has & history and a present of which to be
proud.
But the town, 21 miles from Athens, boasts of its
best known product—Richard B. Russell—above its
work clothes industry, which is the most important
in this country.

Sen. Richard Russell
" A booklet ealled “The Story of Winder and Bar
row County,” published by the Winder Chamber of
Commerce and prepared by Robert M. Menzies,
counters the term “windswept” by saying: “We be
lieve we have the normal supply of wind—enough
to scatter pollen and knock leaves off the trees in
fall”
Devoting several pages of hometown background
to the town’'s best-known product, the booklet re
veals that Senator Richard Russell’s home county
was not formed until some seventeen years after
his birth. The town had, by that time, dropped the
interesting name of Jug Tavern and the municipal=
ity was composed of sections c¢f three counties.
The booklet continues to tell us that the Junior
Senator’s childhood home lay in Jackson county,
later the family moved a mile east into Waiton
county, and Dick walked to school every day in
Gwinnett county.
Senator Russell, one of the thirteen children of
the late Richard Brevard Russell, Sr., and Ina Dil
lard Russell, has experienced a meteoric career
since the days when he wouid hide his shoes in a
culvert on the way to school and retrieve them on
his way home. All the neighbors in Winder have
followed his career with intense interest and after
seeing him become a member of the Georgia Leg
islature at 24, youngest governor Georgia ever had
at 34, and youngest member of the United States
Senate at 35, they are all sold on his ability.
Quoting from Mr. Menzies booklet: “Winder peo
ple find the charge that Dick Russell is ‘sectional’
rather puzzling. For the twenty years he has been
in the U. S. Senate he has kept his office on an
upper floor of the Peoples Bank building in Winder.
But he has made slight use of it, Everybody in
Winder and Barrow county knows he has been
serving the whole United States all that time.”
Though Mr. Menzies tells his readers that “there
were no culls in the Russell family” (all have
reached positions of importance and responsibility),
Senator Russell, the eldest, is the pride of the town.
The industrial importance of Winder with its many
work clothes plants, the majority of which are
locally-owned industries doing a national business,
the agricultural area once krown as “Tobacco Road”
which is fading away to better farming practices,
and a well-rounded city and county with active
civic organizations and excellent educational insti
tutions—all are a part of Winder,
The town’s outstanding resident is a part of Win
der, too. But in addition to being a Georgia man and
a citizen of Winder, Senator Richard Brevard Rus
sell is an outstanding American and an active force
in the execution of our Federal government.
Dick Russell may well be known in future years
as the nation’s best-known product.
‘National Lost Sleep Week'
Does anybody ever try to calculate the man
hours lost during the week of a national conven
tion? With television distracting the hired help all
across the country, the bill in wasted time must be
stupendous.
Things were particularly bad in the GOP show
this year, since TV canreras peered every place but
into hotel boudoirs and blanketed the channel at all
hours with convention stuff. To make it worse, the
week before the convention was almost as hot as the
thing itself,

various weeks of the year to all kinds of causes
seem to be overlooking a bet. How about “National

Reds Can Stop Air Assaults—
.
By Ending Phony Truce Talks
A year’s truce negotiations with the Communists,
while they gave UN forces respite from full com-~
bat, decreased theiy military advantage and im
proved the R%osition. We are now in process of
trying to regafn some, at least, of our former edge.
We are trying to cripple ‘he source of the anrpli
fied military potential acquired by the Communists
under the cover of 12 months of “negotiation.” Thus
we bombed the Yalu River power plants, and more
recently satuated military targets around Pyong
yang.
After both these ventures, protest was heard that
they would upset the truce talks. But how can you
upset nothing? For that is exactly what has been
accomplished in the tedious negotiations, in spite of
“paper gains” on some points.
In other words, while examination of the detailed
satus of the conferences would reveal numerous
places where agreement was apparent, these accords
are meaningless. This is so because the Reds have
persistently balked at taking the really key steps to
settlemrent. This is the same sort of tactics they em=
ployed on the Autsiran treaty.
Having allowed ourselves to be enticed into
phony peace talks and having thus lost important
military advantage, we cannot now be blamed for
seeking to restore by any reasonable military means
the superiority we formerly enjoyed.
As things stand, we cannot launch "a heavy
ground offensive. We are not mounted for it. Fur=
thermore, it would be an abrupt signal that the
truce talks were for all practical purposes ended
except as an absurd fiction. And there is point in
keeping the door open.
We can, however, deliver heavy blows by air, for
our air offensive has never been suspended at any
stage of the negotiations. If we tapered off, it was
only because at times our air strength was dinfin
ished. Today it is growing again, as evidenced by
the mass flight of Thunderjets from this country to
Japan for Korean duty.
General Collins, Army Chief of Staff, sounded the
right note on a tour of the Korean battlefields
when he said that without an armmistice, the Com
munists can expect hard air attacks. If the Reds
want these assaults stopped, they can have it that
way. All they have to do is sit down at Panmunjom
and negotiate honestly and seriously.
In Jesse James Style
All reported details of the latest kidnaping of a
West Berliner fit together @nd add up. What they
add up to is the success of the Reds’ carefully plan
ned abduction of a free German leader whose pat
riotism had become more ard more intolerable to
them. The victim, Dr. Walter Linse, has been highly
effective in the League of Free Jurists, a large out
fit of refugee lawyers and judges from East Ger
many, now gathering evidence of Red violations of
basic German law.
Dr. Linse is only one of several hundred West
Germrans who have disappeared more or less mys=
teriously in the past few years. But this was a blitz=
snatch as bold as a Jesse James bank robbery in
broad daylight. Nothing in American movie melo
drama could surpass it: the victim set upon by
thugs, the race-away in a fast car, the nails strewn
behind, the blowing tires and pistql shots of the
pursuers, the opening of the Red-zone barrier for
the speeding car.
That is the barrier which the East German gov
ernment has set up to protect itself from “spies and
saboteurs.” Ordinarily no vehicle bearing West
German license plates«could possibly zip on through
this bristling rampart. This one was not challenged
at all. The orders, like the planning, were high
level.
Will the Red propaganda from East Germany
attemrpt any lying explanation of this latest outrage
and how it was carried out? Maybe. But the very
nature of this kidnaping suzgests the Soviet-domi
nated government of East Germany is past caring
what the free world thinks of such tactics. In the
slave world the end always justifies the wmeans
anyway.
The Allied move to put heavier guard on all
frontier crossings is not so much retaliation for all
the Reds have done as it is a simple security meas
ure to prevent more such outrages, if possible. Men
like Dr. Linse are far too valuable to be snatched
away so easily by an utterly conscienceless foe.
For the first time in more than a century a beau
tiful new ship bearing her own name has brought
the United States the speed championship of the
Atlantic. The SS United States in the fastest cross
ing in history—lless than 3% days-—clipped 10 hours
and two minutes from the 14-year-old record set by
Great Britain's Queen Mary.
It is an achievement that has stirred the pride of
every American. But beyond the satisfaction which
comes fronr outstanding accomplishment the tri
umphant maiden voyage of the United States is
important from more practical standpoints. She is
a match for the fastest warsnips in the world, a
point which becomes significant when it is recalled
that she is not only a passenger liner but a naval
auxiliary designed to serva as a troop carrier in
time of war.
Her speed is the result of specifications laid down
by the Navy which were in iarge part responsible
for the huge cost of building the ship. Her demon=-
stration of superiority over Britain’s best proves
that while he; cost was great, results were achieved
by the huge‘expenditure. a

First Job Hunting Experience
Produces Blistered Feet And
For those who seek adventure,
there is none more fantastic, my
sterious, or downright hiliarious
than that of making the rounds of
the employment offices in New
York City.
Although we were forewarned
that the big city was the most
overwhealming thing on earth, we
found ourselves, once, determined
to combat it. Having first become
established in suitable living quar
ters (which is in itself something
out of Pauline’s Perils), we .de
cided to set out o a trek around
town seeking employment of some
nature until we could set some
definite course toward our “care
er.”
A glance through the classified
directory threw us into a whirl
gool of confusion. Millions of agen
ies were listed and we were mys
tified as to the exact merits of
each. Fortunately, a friend, who
was a seasoned veterair of some
three monthg in New York, whis
pered some choice hints in our ear
and we set off on what turned out
to an amazing experience.

% 8 Southern Teen-Agers Find Way
e To Spend Time; Help Church
A group of teen-agers in one
Southern city isn’t having any
trouble figuring out what to do
with their time this summer.
They have organized themselves
into an empolyment service. They
assure their would-be employers
that they will tackle any kind of
job from baby-sitting to washing
automobiles.
And every cent they earn is
being turned over to the building
fund of their church.
In an age when teen-agers are
regarded as a national problem,
with everyone wondering how to
keep them entertained whole
somely, how to keep them out of
mischief, how to make them feel
“secure,” it is good to hear of a
story like this.
Evidently these teen-agers’ el
ders have used a different ap
proach. The offer to help the
church was the young people’s
own idea, but they must have
been encouraged to believe that
they were adult enough to as
sume responsibility, capable en
ough to get out and earn money
and unselfish enough to be willing
to work for something besides
their own wants.
That is the kind of encourage
ment teen-agers desperately need.
They have plenty to give—so why

stamina to enter the sanctums of
the agency which had been highly
recommended to us. Having stated
our business to weary receptionist,
we were armed with pencil and
application blank. Here was the
first difficult obstracle in a course
full of seeming blockades. Millions
of questions put us to a half-hour
test that was somehow reminiscent
of a college final examination.
Wiping the sweat from our
brow, we returned our prize, with
a smug feeling of accompiishment,
to the receptionist. who then dir
ected us to a smaller inner office
for our “interrogation.” We've of«
ten wondered since that time, why
the office wasn't equipped with
one of those big spotlights report
edly used in “big town” police
question sessions. We certainly
felt we had been put through a
third degree before that meeting
ended.
Note Of Dismay
The first note of dismay crept
into the interviewer’s voice when
she discovered, from a close scru
tiny of our application form, that
we came from the Deep South.
Only after we had assured her that
we didn’t drawl “honey chile” all
day, we didn’t wear hoop skirts
and pantaloons, and we had no
particular affinity for mint juleps,
did she draw a somewhat easier
expect and to take?
That group will grow up fast
this summer. What they contri
bute to a church building fund
will be only a part of the fruit of
their hard work.
They are taking a big step
toward maturity in voluntarily
working together for a project be
yond their own selfish interests.
That is the kind of thinking and
doing adults should encourage
among teen-age groups.

Picture Posicard Daling To Athens Buggy Era
Causes Deep Longing For "Good Old Times”
A picture postcard received last
week from Joe Davis of Hunts
ville, Alabama served to bring to
mind assorted visions of “what
used to be.” The card, depicting
downtown Athens, was made in
the horse and buggy days and was
centered by an old street car with
cpen sides.
Although the day of the buggy
was somewhat before our time,
we amused .- ourselves for some
hours by conjuring up impressions
of what the Classic City must
have been during that time.
The scene on the card is the
corner of College avenue and
Broad, looking east down Broad
street. On the right of Broad lies
the University and to the left the
corner building that was once oc
qupied by Pete Petropol. The spire
atop the Joel Building is the high
est man-made landmark to be
seen.
One of the marvels of the card,
which Mr. Davis found in Hunts
ville and felt the Banner-Herald
would be interested in, is the fact
that there is ““nary an automo
bile™. to be seen. The wide streets
are dotted periodically with bug
gies and wagons and some pedes
trians are to be found in the quiet
scene, :
A colored man, carrying his
coat over one arm and wearing a
wide - brimmed hat, is shown
walking leisurely down the mid

breath. She cautioned us, none
theless, to “watch that Southern
accent”. We said. “Yes ma’'m.”
Our tormentor displayed more
signs of upset when she discovered
we (1) had not mastered the #ne
art of short-hand, and (2) we
could only type 45 words a minute.
But, we assured her, all we want
ed to do was write anyway, so
what matter if we didn’t take
shorthand? She gave us a tolerant
smile that we suspected she must
reserve for Southerners and
mumbled something to the ef
fect, “Well, we’ll see.”
After endless minutes of search
ing through her file, this efficient
woman finally waved one gleeful
ly in the air and chortled glee
fully, “Ah, ha—this is made to
order.” We were happy.
A further trek across the wide,
wide city left us with’aching feet,
but still full of determination.
Having found our address, a pub
lishing house whose name was not
at all familiar to us, we settled
down in.a plush chair to await
our summons to still another “in
ner sanctum”. When the order
came, we followed our guide, with
faltering step” to a desk odvisous«
ly ruled by a fragile looking fem=
ale. Her fragility was deceptive,
we soon found.
She attempted a warm smile,
which somehow left us cold, and
began an intense study of our
application. Suddenly, an annoyed
frown crossed her forehead.
“What are you here for? she
snapped.
“A job,” we gulped.
The woman toothed another
smile and informed us that our
newspaper experience did not
quite qualify us for the duties of
this particular position. “You see,”
she continued, “we publish comic
books. Our workers are required
to turn out about six short stories
a day, and I don’t think—"
We had, by this time, slipped
our shoes Back on our blistered
feet and h%d reached the exit be
fore her sentence was completed.
With her final words, however,
we concurred compietely, so in
reply to a “you wouldn’t be hap

the doorway and threw her a last
defiant,
“No ma’m!”

~_ Control Of Polio Discussed With
Emphasis On Early Confinement
" Written for NEA Service
Last year I joined the ranks of
those who have had a child stric
ken with polio. Probably no one
who has not gone through this
harrowing experience can fully
realize the mental anguish which
is involved.
Even so, the blind fear which
afflicts so many parents during
times when polio becomes com
paratively common should be
avoided, since it does no good.
Although polio can and does
cause deaths and severe crippling,
the chances that it will not are
pretty good. It is now regarded as
a disease in which only one in
100—in some cases even less—of
those infected become paralyzed.
In many of these, the illness is so
slight that a diagnosis of polio is
not even made.
Another bright side to the pic=
ture is that only half of those in
whom the diagnosis can be made
suffer any permanent paralysis,
and even in many of those who
do, the paralysis is of a minor na
ture, and recovery can go a long
way.
But is is a terrible disease.
}Nhat then can be done to prevent
t?
Polio is now known to be caused
by a virus, of which there are
several krown varieties or strains,
This virus is present in the dis

At two years of age, Dubby oce

He sucks it in the park, some=
times, for example. When, not too
strangely, he becomes depressed
by the violent competitiveness of
bigger children around the sand
pile, Dubby will retutn to his
mother’s bench, lean his head
against her warm flank—and put
his thumb into his mouth reflect=
ively.
Does his mother reprove him?
Does she remove the thumb from
the mouth? Oh, no, Dubby’s moth=
er is far too well read and pro=
gressive for anything like that,
She doesn’t do the wrong thing
but she says it. In Dubby’s pre=-
sence, to her bench companion,
she says, “I'm not worried about
his thumb-sucking yet. The habit
is not really neurotic in a 2-year=-
old, I understand.”
Dubby grows older. He learns
to run, jump, to like the taste of
ice cream and to refuse to nap in
the afternoon. As he discovers
new experiences of pleasure and
power in the world around him,
he, not too strangely, begins to
make bigger demands upon it,
When they are denied him, he is
irritated. When the irritations pile
up, not too strangely, he yells and
kicks.

trying desperately to “ignore” her

be a traumatie reaction to some
thing we don’t know about, could

DANA ANDREWS’ SECRET
DANA ANDREWS spilled the
beans about the big secret he’s
kept from his Hollywood bosses
for 12 years.
He can sing witH the best of
them and has a rich, trained bari
tone voice.
“I didn’t tell Darryl Zanuck or
Samuel Goldwyn,” Dana ex
plained, “because you're dead in
Hollywood if yo#.e a singer. No
body will accept you as an actor.
About the time I hit Hollywood,
they’d stopped“making musicials.
I'm no fool. I just kept my mouth
shut.”
His greagest temptation to blab
his secret came when he was mak
ing “State Fair,” Dana, who
studied voice for six years unde#
famed Isidore Braggiotti and Flo=
rence Russell, grinned:
“The script called for me &
sing ‘lt's a Grand Night for Sing
ing. Itolgt bthem Tll)xire qr&ot}iljer
singe; ub me. ey pail m
sls§) kr it. I could have saved the
studio that money and sung the
tune a lot better. But I kept my
mouth shut. I don’t like what
happens to singers in Hollywood.”
