FOREST WORK SOUGHT
BY HUNDREDS CITIZENS
STATE FORESTER STATES AP
PLICATIONS WILL HAVE TO
BE MADE TO SUPERVISORS OF
NATIONAL FORESTS
Atlanta, Ga.—ln view of congres
sional action looking to putting the
unemployed to work in the forests,
numerous inquiries are coming to
State Forester B. M. Lufburrow for
employment.
The state forester says that so far
as the possibilities for work in Geor
gia have thus far developed, they are
confined largely to the national for
ests of north Georgia. Two national
forests have a total of approximate
ly 365,000 acres in the mountains of
Georgia, the Cherokee National For
est, with headquarters at Athens,
Tenn. and the Nantahala National
Forest, with headquarters at Frank
lin, N. C.
The state forester advises those
desiring work on the national forests
to address the forest supervisors at
the two points mentioned.
Other forestry work in Georgia,
Mr. Lufburrow "states, awaits infor
mation on the provisions of the bill,
end how these provisions can be
made applicable to Georgia condi
tions.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-*RGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
BEEN PROPOSES NEW
PLAN OF MAIL DELIVERY
I
| GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN INTRO
DUCES BILL TO PLACE CITY
AND RURAL MAIL DELIV
ERIES BY CONTRACT
Washington, D. C. —The proposal
of Congressman Deen, of the eighth
Georgia district, to place both city
and rural mail delivery on a private
contract basis has been referred to
the post office committee.
The Georgian estimated the meas
ure would save between $75,000,000
and a year without im
pairing the service, and said Budget
Director Douglas had called it “a
good proposition.”
He said the post office department
told him that rural free delivery cost
$100,500,000 a year, and city deliv
ery $125,700,000.
The bill introduced would take ef
fect June 30, 1933. It would empow
er Postmaster General Farley to,
“dismiss as employes postal
service all city, village, and rural
carriers, effective at the close of
business June 30, and to replace the
services rendered by such carriers
with like and similar services render
ed by persons under contracts let un
der competitive bidding; except that
where the postmaster general finds
it impossible to effect such replace
ment immediately after such date,
he is authorized to retain any such
carriers as employes, or to make
other temporary provisions for such,
services, by contract or otherwise,
until such time as it is practicable to
effect the replacement required by
this act.”
Deen said he hoped to get an early
hearing - , adding “Mr. Douglas said
he was ‘in accord’ with the principle
of the measure.”
UPSON GRAND JURY ASKS
OWEN TO PLEDGE LOYALTY
Fourth District Member Censured
For Recent Vote , ~
Thomaston, Ga. —The Upson coun
ty grand jury, in session here, ha',
adopted resolutions censuring Con
gressman E. M. Owen, of this dis
trict, for failure to support some of
the measures advocated by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The resolutions point out that
Warm Springs, Meriwether county,
where President Roosevelt makes his
part-time home, is in this district.
They state that the entire country is
behind the Roosevelt program, with
out regard to political affiliation and
that he has been given the over
whelming support of the congress
with but few exceptions. They state
that he has shown, since his inaugu
ration, that he has the interests of
all the people at heart and that he
is trying to put into effect every
principle of the democratic platform
upon which he was so pverwhelming
ly elected.
The resolutions conclude by call
ing upon Congressman Owen to give
his loyal support to all measures ad
vocated by President Roosevelt, in
order that the president may know
that the people of his adopted state
and his own congressional district
are solidly behind him.
Copies of the resolution were sent
to President Roosevelt and to Con
-1 gressman Owen.
Confidence Voted By Pike
Zebulon, Ga., April 4.—Forty
nine citizens of Pike county signed
and mailed Monday a letter to Rep
resentative Emmett Owen of the
fourth Georgia district assuring him
that they “do not condone the criti
cism of your beer vote made by
the Upson county grand jury and
j given wide publicity in the daily pa
pers of the state.
“We feel that your work as solic
ited general of the Griffin circuit
has given you an insight on the beer
and liquor question that we common
laymen do not possess, therefore, we
feel you are in a position to repre
sent us in the national congress bet
ter than any citizen of the fourth
congressional district.”
4,500 BABIES DIE IN
GEORGIA EVERY YEAR
FIRST YEAR OF LIFE IS DAN
GEROUS ACE, STATE BOARD
OF HEALTH SAYS REGARDING
REGISTRATION
To make parents, and some doc
tors, understand the importance of
registration of births has been a
matter of concern to the state de
partment of public health. An article
in a recent issue of Georgia’s Health
brings out the importance of this
registration in the following force
ful manner:
“How many people ever stop to
think what becomes of the 60,000
babies born in Georgia each year?
Well, the tragic fact is that about
4,500 die before their first birthday,
and 6,000 die between the ages of
one to twenty-four years. Since al
most as many die in the first year
of life as in the next twenty-four
years it is obvious that the dangerous
age is the first year of life.
“The appalling fact' that 4,500
little babies should die annually in
Georgia before they have reached
twelve months of age makes one
wonder why. There are probably
some causes for these untimely
deaths that we do not understand,
hut we do know that there are both
public and private agencies with
scientific knowledge and the neces
sary equipment to prevent many of
these infant deaths. All of these
agencies with their scientific knowl
edge, machinery and power stand
ready and eager to promote health
and extend human life. But they arc
greatly handicapped in their efforts
to promote health and extend human
life unless they know when and
where preventable deaths occur, and
their work in conserving the lives of
infants is restricted unless they
know when, where and under what
circumstances babies are born. There
fore we are brought face to face
with the proposition that the max
imum of disease or death prevention
