BACK TO BETTER TIMES
1933 Saw Old Man Depression strike hard
on the bottom of the long down grade.
1934 gives us a good start ON THE UP
GRADE TO BETTER TIMES.
What have we learned in Depression’s
school of Hard Knocks?
If—with the revival of GOOD TIMES
there is also a revival of OLD TIME HONESTY
and —we will PAY one another, TRADE at
home, PULL together with a real interest in one
another—then the Communily’s problems and
our Financial difficulties will adjust themselves.

255 Million Cost
of CCC Camps
The Past Year
Washington, D. C. —President
Roosevelt was told that $255,000,000
was spent in giving employment to
600,000 young men during the first
year of the civilian conservation
corps.
Robert Fechner, director of emerg
ency conservation work, reported to
the chief executive that 310,00 would
still be in the forest opmps at the end
of April. Funds have been appro
priated to continue the program for
another six months.
In addition to the enrolled men,
14,000 experienced foresters and
technical experts have supervised the
work and 3,600 reserve officers have
commanded the camps.
Secretary Ickes and Secretary Wal
lace emphasized the value of the
program to the nation’s forests and
parks. Both asserted that the CCC
workers had contributed to substan
tial reduction in fire losses on the
public domain.
“The fire record for 1933 is one
of the best ever recorded for the
national forests,” Wallace reported,
“Damage was held to approxi
mately $325,000, which is less than
17 per cent of the annual fire loss
during the previous five-year period.”
Another record to be recorded, he
said, was the planting of 72,000,000
trees during the year.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
POLITICAL LINES
SOON BE FORMED
QUESTION OF OPPOSITION TO
GOVERNOR WILL BE SETTLED
IN NEXT FEW DAYS. RUMORS
IN AIR.
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Take all of the rumors, prophesies
and expert opinions and try to un
scramble them, so as to tell heads
from tails in the Georiga political
situation, and the following emerges
as the safest and most nearly certain
analysis that can be made.
The chances are 1,000 to 1 that
Governor Talmadge will have opposi
tion.
From the Talmadge camp come
confident verbal declarations that
there will be no opposition, while
pro-Talmadge forces and newspapers
predict and plead for only one name
on the gubernatorial ticket. The
governor’s supporters declare no one
dares oppose the incumbent. From
the ranks of those opposed to Tal
madge come declarations, likewise
verbal, that the Talmadge people art
obviously endeavoring to create the
conviction over the state that no one
dares to oppose the incumbent, while
they figuratively are trembling in
their boots with fear.
Talmadge people say that opposi
\
tion would be political suicide for
whoever might run and his opponents
indicate that it won’t be long be
fore the opposition leaders will cen
ter on someone individual to carry
their banner with all anti-Talmadgt
leaders supporting him.
Talmadge people are repairing
their fences with resolutions of en
dorsement of the governor adopted
by various organizations in the ex
pectation of thus increasing the gov
ernor’s strength.
In the meantime, the opposition
forces are getting nearer and nearer
to agreement on the man who is to
carry their banner, declaring that
their candidate will have the un
qualified and unanimous support oi
all those who have been so promient
ly mentioned as possible candidates.
Some of them think that the govern
or’s lieutenants may endeavor to
give the appearance of lack of unity
in the opposition camp by putting
into the race some independent can
didate just strong enough to split
the anti-Talmadge vote and muddy
the waters.
At present the fact remains there
is officially only one candidate for
Governor of Georgia, and that is Eu
gene Talmadge, whose entrance fee
was paid the past week.
