At a recent joint meeting of the Mimosa and Cherokee Garden Clubs, Mimosa President Margaret Hicks welcomed the members and introduced Beulah Armstrong, Cher okee president, who presented Miller Moelchert, program chairman, who introduced Mrs. Frank Childs, pro gram procurer, who presented the speaker, Mrs. Milton Blanton of At lanta. Anyone that adept, at passing the buck should be in Washington. Time’s a wasting, ladies .... The Protestant church bloc that is fight ing tooth and toenail against UMT in Washington, though sincere, are doing the country almost irreparable harm. According to Senator Richard B. Russell this country is in serious danger of a military dictatorship from outside, not inside. And while precious time is frittered away in de bate over the merits of UMT, Russia grows in strength and power as good, but short-sighted, churchfolks fuss over the harm six months of service would do the youth of this nation. The tragedy looms greater because there is so little time and we are dis sipating it so prodigally .... Seldom in SEC history has any conference school woven a tougher schedule than have Wally Butts’ Georgia Bull dogs. The 11th game was announced last week, a September 20th opener in Nashville against Vanderbilt. The coffers over Athens way may bulge with the coin of the realm but the won-lost record, barring some unfore seen miracle, mn hardly be impres sive ....

Call on us today and let us help you with a friendly loan. JACKSON NATIONAL BANK JACKSON, GEORGIA Representative Fears and Senator Jones a vote of thanks for their courageous and forceful stand against the now infamous elector bill, which quite simply disfranchises all Georgians in November’s General Election. They were both “indepen dents” in the true sense of the word, voting their conviction, not the ad ministration’s, on every measure. Butts countians will do well to con tinue these two outstanding young men in office as long as they offer, or in the unlikely event that either or both prove unworthy of the public trust ... If the opportunity presents itself, by all means see “Bright Vic tory.” The role of a returning GI, blinded in combat, portrayed by Arthur Kennedy, brings a realism seldom matched on celluloid. You suffer with him as he undergoes the trying period of readjustment and rejoice with him as he overcomes every obstacle to win his bright vic tory .... And if your meat is the wi'itten word you’ll enjoy “The Caine Mutiny,” best seller of some months standing. It holds a particular appeal for all Navy men and women and lovers of the sea for it deals with the tribulations of the I)MS Caine in World War 11. The characterizations are among ihe best in contemporary fiction as the ill-assorted crew of the Caine come alive under the skillful pen of Herman Wouk .... Bert Carmichael and your fish hungry writer took off three Saturdays ago for Rock Eagle Lake with the mer cury hovering around the 45 degree mark and the sun obscured all day by heavy clouds. If any fish passed our well appointed hooks (luscious pcnnywinkles) they evidently were too surprised and/or too cold to do anything about it. Consequently we came home not only without a fish but without a bite, redbugs still being in hibernation. However, with warm er weather we confidently expect to rectify our glaring error of timing, the fish willing and cooperative. Any way, as Bert said, it was a nice trip.
