THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
May 11, 1940.
My dear Constituents: The warm
spring weather has transformed the
Nation’s Capital into the brightest
and most pleasant place one could
wish to see. The bright new leaves,
i the green grass, the flowers, birds
and squirrels around our public
buildings accentuate the peaceful
ness and quiet of this beautiful city,
and one cannot pass them without
a thrill of patriotism and pride.
These buildings are American
Shrines. Every day crowds of visi
tors, especially school children from
all over the country visit them. It
is interesting to mingle with them
and hear their expressions of pride
and delight. The other day I heard
a schoolboy say to the teacher with
him, “You don’t think any enemy
could drop a bomb on our beautiful
Capitol and destroy it or any of the
paintings or statuary in it, do you?”
The teacher said, “I hope not, and
I don’t believe they could, for sure
ly our Navy and Army are prepared
to stop such an attack. However,
in August, 1814, the British army
entered Washington and burned the
central portion of the Capitol and
the White House too.” The expres
sion of surprise and hon-or on the
boy’s face revealed that he was not
familiar with that fact in American
history.
Yesterday, Major Quimby Melton,
who served during the World War
in the same division that I served
in (82nd) wrote an open letter to
me in his “Good Evening Column”
of his newspaper, “The Griffin Dai
ly News,” in which he described the
cruelty and ruthlessness of the Ger
man invasion of the peaceful Low
Countries of Europe, Holland, Lux
embourg and Belgium, and called
attention to the fact that the de
fenseless countries were the easy
prey of war like dictators. He then
said that in his opinion the best way
to preserve peace in America is to
Ip
be prepared to defend America. He
recalled our days at Camp Gordon
—that it took from April to Sep
tember to train officers for our Ar
my, and that when our men went
to camp they had to drill with wood
en guns, and when we arrived in
France we had to “borrow” French
“seventy-fives” for our light artil
lery and French Chanchat automa
tic rifles, because we had none to
speak of. He advocated putting
America on a war preparedness ba
sis as the best way to keep us out
of war.
I think Major Melton expressed
the desire of most of our people. I
do not think this country has any
business in the European war, and
I believe our citizens expect our
Army and Navy to be prepared to
defend America at all times.
Congress and the President are
awake to their responsibilities. We
have now the strongest Navy in the
World and we are building new ships
as fast as possible. We are build
ing our air forces as fast as we can,
and training pilots and mechanics
to man the new ships. We have a
large organized officers reserve
corps and we are daily giving thou
sands of our men training in the
field in war maneuvers as nearly
like actual warfare as possible. We
will keep this up until we are pre
pared to maintain peace in the Wes
tern Hemisphere, and save the only
free government and culture left in
the World. I am glad I heard the
schoolboy’s question to his teacher,
and I am glad Major Melton wrote
me the open letter. These incidents
impressed me with my responsibility
as a citizen and as a Member of
Congress. I favor closing the doors
of immigration completely until this
war is over, and deportation at once
of all undesirable aliens. I favor a
defense program sufficient to keep
America safe.
I have been notified of Presiden
tiaU approval of a WPA project at
Carrollton to extend and improve
the city waterworks there. We are
glad to have this improvement.
Health Work Be
Stressed During
State Campaign
WIDE DISTRIBUTION OF POST
ERS DIRECTS ATTENTION TO
ADULT EDUCATION PROJECT.
132 PUPILS HERE
Over ten thousand posters, tell
ing the story of the new emphasis
on health education as the theme
for the adult education work of the
Georgia WPA will be distributed
over the state this week, according
to WPA officials.
Eliza G. Burford is in charge of
the local campaign and 132 pupils
are enrolled. The work is sponsored
by William G. Preston, county school
superintendent, and D. V. Spencer,
superintendent of the Jackson school
system. Two colored teachers are
employed to teach health and other
subjects.
The WPA Education Project has
classes in approximately evei - y coun
ty in the state, living up to its aim
of “classes for all who wish to
learn.” In the past the main em
phasis has been on the eradication
of illiteracy, and the number of
grownups who could not read and
write in 1930 has been cut in half.
Under the new program, this
great fight on illiteracy continues,
but the new aim of encouraging bet
ter citizenship while teaching the
fundamentals of reading and writ
ing has broadened the scope of the
work.
The new poster shows this broad
ened field, illustrating how the class
work is built around the study of
such subjects as food, sanitation,
safety and first aid, communicable
diseases, and clothing. In this way
the adult students seeking the gifts
of literacy learn doubly as they at
tend classes.
Immediate results have been ex
cellent. The recent monthly report
of progress on the Adult Education
Project states:
“Several rather definite results
can be seen already from the stress
we are placing on health. Students
and supervisors show a decided in
creased interest in the classes and
attendance also is showing a higher
average. It is most gratifying to
find that more and more the teach
ers are making use of every com
munity resource available in gath
ering materials for the study of
foods. County Agents, Home Dem
onstration Agents, Public Health
Departments, Home Economics
Teachers and Vocational Agriculture
teachers are cooperating with WPA
teachers in their activities. A broad
ened vision of teachers and interest
of pupils and the public is evidenc
ed.”
The WPA Education Project sup
plements the work of the public
schools. In addition to its work
with adults who are beyond school
age, it helps operate nursery schools
for children of pre-school age.

ALL LOW INCOME
FAMILIES BE ABLE
TO GET MATTRESSES
Rules governing the mattress pro
ject have been liberalized and ac
cording to the latest information
all farm families, making less than
S4OO per year, whether obtained
from the farm or elsewhere, will be
eligible to get a mattress, County
