What Should You Save To Help?
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The following table issued by the Treasury
Department is intended as a savings yardstick for the average income
earner. It suggests how everyone of the 48,000,000
employed persons in the United States may partici
tpate in the war effort through the systematic purchase
of Defense Savings Bonds.
“The job ahead of us is far bigger than most’of us
realize,” Secretary Morgenthau declared in making
the table public. “I know that the American people
are ready to do their part to win the war. One of the
ways we can do much more is by intensifying our
effort in the purchase of Defense Bonds.”
While persons without dependents may be able to
set aside more than the suggested figures, persons
with several dependents, or with other heavy family
obligations, may be unable to save at the suggested
rate, the Treasury Department pointed out.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
MISCELLANY
It was either Mr. Sasnett or Bird
O’Neal who informed this writer
that it would snow on March 2nd.
And it did, and how. Beautiful to
begin, ending like a thing the cats
brought in. Some of it was on our
front yard for four days, and from
that we suppose that front yard is
about the coldest in the city. Thanks
for the calendar.
Saw an old woman trudging along
in the snow, all draped head and
shoulders in a long black shawl, but
with bare legs, for which we felt
a wave of compassion, until looking
across the street further we saw
other bare legs tho younger ones.
And we wondered if our compassion
wore well aimed.
Atlanta’s first blackout caught us
away from home, and sitting up in
bed with a bright light to read. A
knock at the glass door, and a voice
saying, What about that light? And
all the time we had intended to be
so very cooperative in war efforts.
It was just that there were no si
rens to be heard out in that part of
the city.
They’ll have to mark us zero and
send us to the bottom of the class.
Of all the persons who have walk
ed old earth in the last seventy-five
years, the greatest, as we think, was
Martha Berry. Would rather have
been Martha Berry than all the
Churchills and Roosevelts the world
has ever known.
And her last message to the pub
lic was great, like her life. In it
she said the greatest waste in Amer
ica was not of gasoline, or rubber,
or paper, and “all that there stuff,”
but the waste of human beings. And
she started her school to give a
chance to that great mountain hu
manity which without her effort
would have had no chance.
Men who drink, or who loiter, or
who are sick, or who are ignorant,
or who are in prison, are the great
est national waste. When we get
wise enough, we’ll stop this leakage,
for then the theme of salvation will
be written into the laws of the land.
“New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must ever up and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth.”
—HAMILTON.

Editor, Progress-Argus: During
the present stringent emegeney
when our leaders are urging every
one to save and conserve every way
they can and our advanced thinkers
are trying to devise ways and means
to utilize every resource, there is
one important matter that seems to
be entirely overlooked. With the
unusual demand for lumber for gov
ernment projects and other purposes
our forests are being cut at a rapid
rate and it is unfortunate that prac
tically all the by-products of the
sawmill goes to waste. From obser
vation and experience I would say
that when a tree is cut for lumber

At The Dixie
Saturday at the Dixie finds Chas.
Starrett as “The Medico of Painted
Springs” with Terry Walker and
The Simp-Phonies. The Dead End
Kids and Little Tough Guys will be
seen in “Give Us Wings” with Wal
lace Ford and Victory Jory.
One of the memorable novels of
the times has been made into a pic
ture that you can’t forget. Monday
and Tuesday the Dixie proudly pre
sents “H. M. Pulham, Esq.” with
Robert Young in the title role, Hedy
Lamar and Ruth Hussey. Van Hel
fin and Charles Coburn round out
an excellent cast. The story is built
around Young’s love for Miss La
mar, a love that defies time, con
ventions, or the marriage code. In
spite of his marriage, Pulham’s love
for Miss Myles, his old sweetheart,
ripens with age. “H. M. Pulham,
Esq.” is one of the rare screen treats
of the new season.
Wednesday brings Bonita Gran
ville, Ray McDonald, and Dan Dai
ley Jr. in a grand drama of youth,
“Down in San Diego.” This is a
vivid story of youngsters who turn
amateur detectives to ferret out a
Nazi spy ring amid the whirl of na
tional defense activities. There are
thrills at sea, in the air, tense mo
ments, juvenile romance and deft
human interest woven into the story.
Edison Marshall’s flaming book
of the South Sea Isles will reach
the screen Thursday and Friday as
“Son of Fury,” with Tyrone Power
and Gene Tierney in the leading
roles. Power, as Benjamin Blake,
has one of the most sought after
roles of the year. The setting is the
lavish splendor of the tropical is
lands and danger and tense drama
manage to occasionally upset the
lovely scenery. George Sanders
and Frances Farmer lend their tal
ents to the accomplished cast.
at least one-half of it is left in the
top, the slabs and sawdust.
There is so little demand for these
that most all of them go to waste.
In a recent issue of the Progress-
Argus I noticed that tree laps were
advertised for sale, very cheap, and
I have been told that some Butts
county sawmills are burning their
slabs to get them out of the way.
With so many people in our cities
unble to buy fuel for cooking and
heating purposes it seems unfor
tunate that so much of this poten
tial fuel is left to rot in . the woods.
We have been warned that there
is a shortage of paper and some of
our papers have already reduced
their size. I don’t know whether
laps and slabs could be used by the
pulp mills, but at the rapid rate our
forests are being cut down some plan
to use them will have to be worked
out, or some substitute found for
making paper.
I don’t think there is a pulp mill
in Georgia for making white paper,
but there are some in Florida and
I have been told by people who live
there that they furnish a profitable
market to the timber growers of
that state. If I remember correct
ly about ten years ago the legisla
ture made an appropriation of a few
thousand dollars to aid Dr. Herty
in his efforts to make white paper
out of our Georgia pine, but our
governor vetoed it and threw cold
water on the plan. I thought he
made a mistake and feel more con
vinced of it since the pulp mills are
operating successfully in Florida.

INSURANCE PLAN

ance, it is reported at the AAA of

APPRECIATION
If you really appreciate
The land in which you live
The very least that you could do
Would surely be to give.
Maybe not much money
And probably no food
But just a word of kindness
In a good humored mood.
If someone does a favor
And you want them to know it
You need not write or tell them so
But you will have to show it.
One good deed deserves another
Whether it be turned or not
But you can rest assured
Its failure will not be forgot.
If you really appreciate
What others do for you
Is to show them you’re willing
To do something for them too.
The air we breathe, the food we eat
The hat worn for a crown,
We should appreciate the fact
’Tis God who sends it down.
Then let’s all pull together
Until this war is won
And show our Uncle Sam
That we appreciate what he’s done.
If he should need our automobile
And probably our spare tire,
We have a road in which to walk
TAX RECEIVER’S
NOTICE
Beginning January 31,1 will open my books in
the courthouse, with offices in front of the Clerk’s
office, for the purpose of receiving 1942 tax re
turns. Owing to my physical condition and the na
ture of the records to be kept, it will be impossible
to make the usual rounds over the county. I will be
in the office every day from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. and
will be glad to assist you in any way in making your
returns.
Because of the present state law providing for
tax exemption of S3OO on personal property and
$2,000 on homesteads it is important that taxpayers
apply for this exemption. Unless exemption is ask
ed for by April Ist according to law it is not to be
granted.
All taxpayers are requested to keep these facts
in mind and come forward and make returns as
early as convenient, or before May Ist.

CLEANING EGGS
Eggs to be sold should be cleaned
even if only slightly soiled, says R.
J. Richardson, Extension poultry
marketing economist. ‘‘A clean
cloth moistened with vinegar in one
corner will remove small dirty spots.
Very dirty eggs should be used at
home.”
