LOANS SHOWS PROGRESS IN
FARM DIVISION, STATE DIREC
TOR POINTS OUT.
Athens, Ga. —More than eleven
thousand Georgia farm families had
been approved for rural rehabilita
tion loans by the Resettlement Ad
ministration up to April 15, it was
announced here today by R. L. Van
sant, director of the rural rehabilita
! t ion. progrant in Georgia.
The loans were made to farm fam
ilies who were unable to obtain fi
nancial aid elsewhere, and the
money will he used for the purchase
of livestock, machinery, seed, and
other farm necessities including sub
sistance. They are repayable in in
stallments in two to five years. As
security the RA holds mortgages on
the coning crops and on the capital
goods advanced besides the signed
agreement of each borrowing family
to follow farm and home manage
ment plans.
"The progress made in 1985 to
ward rehabilitation is indicated,"
Vansant said, "by a reduction in the
amounts of the loans advanced to
families in 1935 as compared with
the amounts of this year. The aver
age loan per family up to the end of
1935 was $345. Thu- year the aver
age loan per family is $232.
“About 10,000 of the families on
the program this year were among
more than 12,000 on the program
last year. The lower average loan
per family is a reflection of the
extent to which those 10,000 lam
lies have proved by their diligence
an dhonest attempts to come back
that they deserve a helping hand.
"This indicates,” he concluded,
“that we are moving in the light di
j rection in trying to help those deserv-
I ing farm folk to become self-sup*
1 porting.”

GOVERNOR UPHELD
BY COURT RULING
APPOINTMENT OF DANIEL SUS
TAINED. HIGH COURT ORDERS
BANKS TO RELEASE FUNDS
TO NEW TREASURER.
Atlanta. Ga.—The Georgia su
preme court Saturday upheld Gov
ernor Talmadge is his suspension Q’
State Treasurer George B. Hamilton
anil held that Talmadge’s appointee.
.1. B. Daniel, is the legal treasurer
of the state. •
In a suit appealed from a three
judge Fulton (Atlanta) superior
court, the surpeme court said litiga
ting Atlanta and Marietta
should pay to Daniel approximately
$2,500,000 they have on deposit.
Judge Gordon Knox, of Hazelhurt,
one of the four superior court judges
appointed to sit in the case wrote
a dissenting opinion.
The court’s order said the ruling
of the Fulton superior court tieing
up the bank deposits was “reversed
because the court erred in overruling
a demurrer” to the pleadings of the
banks and Hamilton.
This had the effect of saying that
the superior court should not have
entertained the cases filed against
Daniel, who was appointed by Tal
madge after the suspension of Hamil
ton last February 24.
The decision is taken by many
to moan that federal highway funds
held up pending outcome of the liti
gation will now be released to the
state of Georgia.

Despite all precautions known to science and inge
nuity, the elements sometimes have their cruel way. It
takes' a close-knit and alert organization, a spirit that
nuts service above all personal interest, and abundant
resources of men, materials and money that will not ask
one moment's delay, to act swiftly and surely in such
an emergency.
When these disasters fell, men of the Company
worked unceasingly; in ice, in ice water, in fire, in flood.
Technically trained men left their desks tor posts in the
field: others took up the burden of their work m addi
tion to their regular duties. Ordinary shifts were for
gotten—ten—eighteen, twenty-four hour hitches ot
duty were performed; gladly, uncomplaining. Telephone
operators handled calls at the rate of 1,200 an hour.
One girl trudged six dark, slippery miles to be at her
post when needed. Tired, hollow-eyed linemen grabbed
sandwiches, gulped hot drinks, returned to their lobs.
Sales officials sliced bread, office men poured coffee,
bookkeepers drove trucks. More men were needed. They
were recruited by radio and through the newspapers
from any distance, at any necessary expense. Men were
fed at their work, men were quartered, men were fitted
with proper clothing for their tasks. An army was in

action - an army of loyal, capable, competent workers;
real men, real women.
It is the tradition of the Georgia Power Company
that service to the public must not fail. If it should fail,
it must be restored, and quickly—no matter what the
cost may be, no matter what self-sacrifice may be re
quired. That is the tradition also of the men and women
who make up the Company. The past winter has proved
it. Wc are proud of them, as you are proud of them.
When the crises came, the Company was ready also
with resources of money, materials, experience. Our
storm and calamity losses of the past winter exceed a
million dollars, but the service goes on, even better than
it was before. Warehouses filled with materials, ready
and waiting for just such needs, prevented delays, saved
hours and weeks in the tasks of rebuilding, made pos
sible the rolling of carloads and truckloads of supplies
into Gainesville within a few hours after the tornado
struck. Resources of experience also counted heavily in
making the work effective, efficient, cohesive in the
midst of chaos. It is the Company’s duty to be ready
without notice to transform itself from efficient routine
into efficient emergency action —and it was ready.
This advertisement is published in tribute to the men
and women who made this record possible. For the
Company itself, we seek no credit. It is simply part of
our job —an important job the people of Georgia have
entrusted to us, one that we hope always to perform to
their complete satisfaction.
