' Paint Project
Added For 4-H
Club Members
BUTTS INCLUDED IN THE NUM
BER OF COUNTIES TRYING
PROJECT TO PROTECT AND
IMPROVE HOMES
Georgia 4-H club boys and girls
have added another activity to
their list—a paint project designed
i mainly to increase the consumption
of turpentine and thereby boost the
income of Georgia gum farmers.
Club boys in 32 counties and girls
in 24 counties have received paint
kits and are engaged in preparing
demonstrations on selection of high
grade paints, their uses, and meth
ods of application by farm owners.
The boys’ work deals with exterior
painting, while the girls will do in
terior paint work.
Counties in which the 32 exterior
paint kits have been placed include
Berrien, Bulloch, Chatham, Coffee,
Emanuel, Ixtwndes, Montgomery,
Toombs, Ware, Wayne, Clay, Crisp,
Dodge, Dougherty, Irwin, Mitchell,
Thomas, Tift, Webster, Ben Hill,
Baldwin, Clarke, Columbia, Haber
sham, Lincoln, Walton, Butts, Cobb,
Floyd, Muscogee, Troup, and Wal
ker.
Demonstrations on paint will be
conducted by girls in Chatham, Cof
fee, Emanuel, Montgomery, Toombs,
Ware, Wheeler, Bibb, Clay, Col
quitt, Crisp, Dodge, Mitchell, Sum
ter, Butts, Cobb, DeKalb, Fannin
Walker, Barrow, Gwinnett, Greene,
Hancock, and Richmond.
At a state contest to be held
sometime next fall, two teams, one
of boys and one of girls, will be
selected for free trips to St. Louis
and the lead mines nearby. County
and home demonstration agents who
coach the winning teams will be
awarded trips also.
W. A. Sutton, assistant state 4-H
leader, explains that this paint dem
onstration project is anew idea- and
is being tried tentatively in these
selected counties. If successful, it
will be extended to other counties
in the state, he said.
Mr. Sutton state. 1 that this pro
ject will show the use of turpentine
in paints, and is expected to increase
the number of 'homes painted, thus
adding to the life and beauty of
farm dwellings in this state.
The new activity is being con
ducted co-operatively by the Agri
cultural Extension Service, the Lead
Industries Association, and the Re
gional Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation. The paint project was in
augurated for Georgia club mem
bers at the request of the American
Turpentine Farmers Association Co
operative, of Valdosta.
Farm income from grains in 1940
was the largest since 1929.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.
April 26, 1941.
My dear Constituents: Today is
Confederate Memorial Day and ev
erywhere in the South our people,
led by the loyal and faithful Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, are teach
ing our younger * generation the
true history of the gigantic struggle
of the “sixties,” reminding them of
the bravery and sacrifices of their
forefathers, and decorating again
the graves of the heroes in gray
who have obeyed the last command
of the immortal Stonewall to:
“Cross over the river, and
Rest under the shade of the trees.”
I feel sure that the great host in
gray, looking down from the celes
tial battlements, are as proud of
Dixie today as they were in 1861
when they so gladly took up their
arms to drive the invader away.
The beautiful Southland has long
since risen from the ashes of that
bitter and useless strife, and it is
rapidly progressing toward its right
ful place in the economic world.
But the most precious heritage
left us by our* Confederate fore
fathers is their love of country,
their loyalty and their determina
tion to fight for their rights even
against great odds. And our sec
tion today is setting an example of
that patriotism and loyalty that is
making the rest of the country take
notice.
Prior to the enactment of the Se
lective Service Act, the South was
far in the lead in the number of
volunteer enlistments in the Army
and Navy.
In the South all the contracts for
the erection of cantonments and oth
er defense buildings were completed
on schedule, and many of them long
before the date limit fixed.
In the South there has been no
strike in any defense industry to
slow up our great defense program.
And best of all, this patriotic at
titude of our section has impressed
the authorities and our people are
respected for it. We are every day
gaining prestige.
The military situation in Europe
is grave. Thoughtful men here
recognize that this country must be
prepared to defend herself when
the war in Europe ends, or we will
be in grave danger of attack. As
it will take us a year or two more
to build our two ocean navy and a
trained army of formidable size, it
is imperative that P-ritain receive
aid sufficient to enable them to keep
fighting. We believe that aid will
be sent to them.
We are preparing to make a
strong fight here for 100% parity
payments for farmers when the con
ference committee on the Agricul
tural Appropriation Act makes its
report. The farmer’s income has
steadily dropped for three decades
until today it is one of the national
problems. In 1909 the income of
the farmers constituted more than
sixteen percent of the total national
income, while today it is only five
and eight tenths percent of the to
tal.
Trices of farm products must be
stabilized at least at parity, before
it Is too late.
Our entire delegation is determin
ed in this fight.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP. M. C.
THE U. S. ARMY WILL NEED
TOTAL 9,100 PHYSICIANS
A total of 9,100 physicians, of
whom 5,300 must be procured dur
ing the next few months, will be re
quired for the total strength of the
army of the United States this
spring, which will be approximately
1.400,000 men, the Surgeon General
of the Army declared, in an outline
regarding the participation of the
Army Medical Department in the
1940-1941 military training program
published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

Look at a Thrifty Electric Range
There’s anew thrill of thrift in the
modern Electric Range. It uses less
electricity than those of just a few
years ago. And the electricity it does
use comes to you on your city’s low
rates. So you can now cook electrical
ly as cheaply as any other way.
Think of it! Without increasing
your cooking costs, you can enjoy the
unmatched advantages of an Electric
Range. Picture one in your kitchen
... a snowy porcelain beauty as easy
HERE’S HOW LITTLE IT COSTS
TO COOK ELECTRICALLY
Thanks to our city’s low electric rates and the high effi
ciency of the modern Electric Range, Electric Cookery
costs only a few pennies a day. For example: If your
monthly bill now runs about $3.00, you can add an
Electric Range for about $2.60 a month running cost
only about a day! Of course, it may cost you a trifle
more or less than this, depending on the size of your
family and how much cooking you do. Come by the City
Hall and let us estimate what it will cost you to use an
Electric Range.
