Scrap To Slap
Japs Needed,
Chairman Says
BUTTS COUNTY RECENTLY COL
LECTED 50 TONS BUT MUCH
MORE IS NEEDED TO KEE?
STEEL MILLS BUSY
In a one day’s drive Butts coun
ty farmers and 4-H club lumbers
recently collected 50,000 tons of
scrap metal. This bit of coopera
tion attracted statewide attention.
All along the Georgia farm front
the new battle cry of “Scrap to Slap
the Jap” went up as farmers spur
red their collection of scrap iron and
steel to feed America’s war machine.
“We’ve got to slap hard and slap
quickly,” J. L. Bailey, chairman of
the Butts county USDA War Board,
said in discussing the pressing need
for scrap metal. “Many of our
steel mills already have shut down
and others face the same prospect
unless they can get adequate sup
plies of scrap iron and steel to use
in charging the furnaces. It’s up
to us to gather every bit of scrap
metal we can lay our hands on and
move it into industrial channels
swiftly.”
County Extension Agent M. L.
Powell will give assistance in find
ing markets for all the scrap metal
collected.

LOCAL MEN WILL
PRESENT PROGRAM
METHODIST CHURCH
Next Sunday, February 22, is Lay
man’s Day throughout the Method
ist church. At the Jackson Method
ist church this special day will be
observed with a program on the
theme, “Methodist Men and the Mis
sion of the Church,” presented by
a group of eleven local men selected
from the membership of the church
on a basis of their inexperience in
speaking before church gatherings.
Several of these men have never
spoken in public before anywhere.
Each speaker will be strictly limited
to three minutes. Mr. H. M. Flet
cher, lay leader of the local church,
will preside. Everybody is invited
to attend this service, which will be
gin at 11:30 a. m.
Others who are to appear on the
program are: W. M. Redman, R. H.
: Burford, M. E. Wade, J. H. Rooks,
le. H. Pace, H. H. Koch, C. D. Thac
ker, R. P. Harrison, D. P. Settle and
H. S. Shuman.
Sunday morning at the Sunday
school hour World Service Sunday
will be observed with a program on
“Evangelism.” The adult depart
ment will meet as a group in the
; men’s room. The new hour for be
ginning Sunday school is 10:15 a. m.
At 7 o’clock Sunday evening the
Methodist Youth Fellowship service
will be held. The newly organized
Hi League group will elect officers.
These young people have selected
Mrs. D. P. Settle as their adult
counselor.
“Catching Fish Without Bait”
will be the subject of Rev. E. M.
Wise at the Sunday evening service,
beginning at 8 o’clock. This is an
other in a series of sermons based
on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
A Bible study in the book of Gen
esis will feature the mid-week ser
vice on Wednesday evening of next
week. This servic also begins at 8
o’clock.
All are cordially invited to at
tend these services.
VALUE OF YOUTH
Youth is the nation’s most -valua
ble crop, Extension Service special
ists point out. These young people,
both urban and rural, will be the
leaders of tomorrow. Training is
necessary for them to become the
best leaders. For instance, farm
boys and girls doing 4-H work will
be much better prepared for the fu
ture than those without training.
There is enough salt in the Dead
Sea to supply the world for 2,000
years.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
MISCELLANY
One Dr. Maddry, a Baptist mis
sionary official from Hawaii, spoke
in Atlanta some ten days ago. He
saw the Pearl Harbor attack.
Dr. Maddry goes on to reveal
that an undertaker who had part in
the mass burials from that event,
said he unscrewed a plate from a
Japanese airplane which had been
shot down, and it bore the name of
Bendix, N. J. That airplane had
been manufactured here and sold to
the Japanese.
All those old autos that you used
to see between Jackson and Atlanta
disappeared when Japan started war
with China. Tho our sympathies
have ever been with China, yet our
business men were then making
money by aid and comfort to her
enemy.
What will some Americans not do
for money?
And too, along this subject, our
women seem still to be wearing silk
stockings. Where do they come
from? Long ago, if our southern
women really love this section as
their memorial programs seem to
substantiate, they should have been
wearing cotton hose, and nothing but
cotton. Whether others did so or
not, they should have.
Bat they are not. Only the First
Lady, she of the White House, is
now wearing cotton stockings.
Wait a minute here, we may be
wrong. We haven’t seen all the
ankles. And it does come up for
our remembrance that a group of
women meeting only last week in
Atlanta claimed they were wearing
cotton stockings, bought at Kresses,
at the price of fifty cents. We glad
ly advertise the source of supply.
And by the way, those stockings have
a finished look and perfect fit.
You women of Jackson, be true
to your State, your section, your
country, and to the only king Geor
gia ever means to have, King Cotton.
And now this he-man goes out to
buy his de-lovely lady three pair of
these unbelievable cotton hose.
Mrs. Roosevelt said sTie couldn’t
cross g picket line, fair or unfair.
Would that not indicate that this
gracious spirit had judged the case
before the evidence had been pre
sented? And that she is ever on
the side of labor?
Well, so far as that goes, we’d
rather see her FOR labor than for
the other side, that is, if there MUST
be unfairness. But, good friends
and citizens of America, injustice is
never an answer to any problem. In
justice only keeps the contention
going on.
In this particular case, labor was
insisting that two musicians be hired
at $337.50 a week to play a phono
graph record, to go along with a
movie. A writer says a child could
have done it.
Will someone please explain thru
the Jackson Progress-Argus why it
is that we are short of rubber when
it is said to grow wild in Brazil.
And why we must scrape and save
bits of tin when Bolivia is full of it?
Why was it that all our supply
has been coming from the Dutch
East Indies rather than from South
America?
If we really mean to be good
neighbors, we’d better let our char
ity of trade begin at home.
And this not discounting the
Dutch at all. This writer has a
Revolutionary strain of Pennsylva
nia Dutch in his veins, whatever
that may mean. We are told those
Pennsylvania Dutch rally came from
the Palatinate, and that according
to our geography is somewhere in
Germany.
Would that explain why this wri
ter is so mean, why, he will give his
pet “Moki” only two tablespoonfuls
of ground meat when that same wol
verine Moki could eat four or six?

Livestock Award

4-H Club Group
County Extension Agent M. L.
Powell announced this week that
the 4-H livestock judging contest
will be continued this year with the
same provisions.
However, for the county, he point
ed out that the contest will be on
the basjs of individual rather than
team. One winner from the county
will be selected to compete in the
district contests.
Mr. Powell said that first and
second place winners of each dis
trict will vie for a free trip to the
National 4-H Club Congress. The
state contest will be held at the
Southeastern Fair in Atlanta next
fall.
To be eligible for this national
trip, the state winner must be be
tween 14 and 21 years of age and
shall have had at least three years
of club work including the current
year. No awards of any kind will
be made unless club members’
achievements are supported by club
record book and story.
At the district and state contests,
the agent said, competing club mem
bers will judge classes of dairy cat
tle, beef cattle, swine and poultry.
The 4-H livestock judging contest
is sponsored by a large Chicago live
stock man (Thomas E. Wilson), in
cooperation with the 4-H club de
partment of the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
