FERA Replaces
CWA In Georgia
Relief Program
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
CWA, symbol of relief for Geor
■gia’s jobless throughout the winter
months, went out of existence last
Satin day, but was replaced by FERA
anew federal organization which
will take over its functions.
The work of CWA, which has prov
ided jobs and food for thousands of
Georgia's unfortunate families, will
be carried on as much as possible
by the FERA, Miss Gay B. Shepper
fon, of Atlanta, who has served as j
slate CWA administrator and will
continue in the same capacity with
FERA, announced.
FERA—Federal Emergency Relief
Administration—took up its job
Monday, putting back many to work
■whose work with the CWA ended
last Friday.
“Nobody is going hungry if we
can help it,’’ was the word from
Harry L. Hopkins in Washington,
If. C., the national recovery relief
administrator;
CWA launched its helpful career
in Georgia on November 20, under'
■a state committee appointed by Gov
ernor Talniadge. Stormy words en
sued between the state’s chief execu
tive and Mi. Hopkins, however, and
differences of opinion on policy led
to the shifting of the control of the
agency’s activities from the hands
of the committee to those of Miss
Fhepperson. CWA payrolls, includ
ing the cash, the orders for food,

Georgia’s Bankers ■
Again Lead Nation
In Farm Aid Work
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Scoring a perfect record, Georgia
banks for the fourth consecutive year
led the nation in the 1933 campaign
of *the agricultural commission of the
American Bankers’ Association for!
bettering farm conditions in 1933. I
Georgia scored 1.000 points out of
a possible 1,000 points in taking
first place in the banker-farmer con
test, and wininng honors in the com
petition for the sixth consecutive
year. The state placed second foy
the national contest for farmers’ aid
in 1928 and 1929.
. Numerous activities of the banks
of Georgia for advancing agricul
ture marked Georgia’s reign in the
farm betterment campaign, chief
among which has been the movement
to develop home markets for surplus
material, keeping millions of dollars
within the borders of the state. The
state 'bankers first won fame for aid
to farmers through the live-at-home
program of the agricultural commit
tee of the Georgia Bankers’ Asso-1
ciation.

HUGE ROAD PROGRAM
IS URGED FOR STATE
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia’s most am
bitious road-building program, doub
ling the present rate of highway con
struction, as a means of providing
employment and relief with federal
.funds, has been advocated by the
American Road Builders Association,
and state highway officials have been
asked to cooperate in the plan.
The program, announced by State
Highway Engineer M. E. Cox, would
include annually 100,000 miles o;
road construction, as the quickest,
means of relieving employment.
"Because of the widespread em
ployment. offered by highway build
ing and the speed with which it can
be gotten under way, “the leaders
pointed out, “the association urges
another allocation of $400,000,00(1
of federal funds to roads. Only
through such action can employment
be sustained at the level to be i-each
ed this summer. The First step for
roads in congress at this session was
taken- on March 21, when the Ho Use
roads committee voted to" report fav
orably upon the Cartwright road bill
for an additional grant of $400,000-
000 to the states and a $50,000,000
grant for forest park and Indian Res
ervations.”
The association said there are
still 2,310,000 miles of mud roads,
and that of the 870,000 miles of im
proved roads, much of the mileage
is in bad need of repairs.
Ur. Herty Predicts
Textile (Revolution
In Rayon Discovery
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
A revolution in the textile indus
try, resulting from the development
of an essential of rayon manufac
ture in his Savannah laboratory, was
predicted by Dr. Cherles H. Herty,
famous chemist, in an address before
the Atlanta Rotary Club.
The discovery was made while Dr.
Ilerty was experimenting with the
manufacture of newsprint paper
from Georgia slash pine. A chemi
cal engineer interested in experi
ments in making rayon from Geor
gia pine has been added to the staff
of the laboratory.
Dr. Herty declared that substan
tial progress in manufactuing this
paper has been made since last No
vember when the leading dailies of
Georgia printed entire editions on
stock made at Savannah. He urged
paper manufacturers to locate plants
ii. the south, pointing out that stand
ard machinery is used in his labora
tory where newsprint is 'being made
for around $27 a ton as compared
with $55 a ton which publishers may
expect to pay in the near future.
