IT’S THIS WAY
By JOYLE JONES JR.
No American should be too sur
prised at the atrocity stories related
by the repatriated United Nations
prisoners of war. To the Oriental,
who holds life cheaply, the ruthless,
barbaric, inhumane torture of an
enemy is but a continuation of a
practice long established. We all join
in prayerful Thanksgiving for those
UN and American prisoners deliv
ered back into the loving hands of
their comrades, who will soon be on
their way to the United States to
rejoin grateful and joyous families.
P'or those who met death on the
forced marches and in filthy Com
munist concentration camps at the
hands of sadistic captors, there must
be a strengthening of resolve and
purpose on the part of Americans to
assure their sacrifices were not in
vain. Great celebrations are planned
for Atlanta, Rome, Ilogansville and
Covington for four returning 1 Geor
gia prisoners who learned the price
of war first hand .... Football
ticket application blanks have been
received here from the University of
Georgia. The Bfilldogs have an at
tractive schedule with only one dis
agreeable feature which could not
be helped. The first home game is
Jsept. 26 with Tulane. Then on Oct.
17 (L.S.U.), Oct. 24 (North Caro
lina), and Oct. ,11 (Alabama), come
three consecutive home games which
means a lot of intensive driving for
a lot of Bulldog fans. For best seats
advice to Georgia alumni is to order
tickets early. As for Tech tickets
just keep your fingers crossed. If
you have $4.80 and know Joe, you
might rate a South stand ducat. Any
Georgia alumni or interested friend
desiring ticket application blanks,
who did not receive them, call by the
office and they will be furnished . . .
A lot of steam is being generated
over the question of whether to keep
the proposed Stone Mountain Memo
rial “all South” or to let the Yankees
ill* Letters pour in to the Atlanta
papers, some quite amusing and most
very heated, pro or con. It makes
not the slighest difference to this
writer if they put Lincoln beside Jeff
Davis or Sherman alongside Lee. It
will, though, be a source of great
pride and vast surprise if they put
anything or anyone anytime soon on
Stone Mountain. Such memorial has
been proposed before .... The State
track meet will be held in Macon
tomorrow and for those devotees of
field and track it will be quite a
show. Jackson High will be repre
sented by Donald Leverette, who
tied for first place in the high jump
in the district meet, the only Jackson
contestant to qualify for the big
time. The Fourth District will be
ably represented and should win
some points. Maloy of North Clayton
is one of the classiest hurdlers seen
in this district in years and could
•win both events if his district per
formance was a fair indication.
Reeves of Hogansville in the discus
and Copeland of McDonough in the
220 figure to place. Leverette, second
in the state last year, should repeat
or do better .... No one can say
the North Carolina minister who re
signed over the issue of strapless
gowns in a forthcoming wedding
didn’t have the courage of his con
victions. One wonders, however, if
he was not more concerned over hav
ing his way than the gowns slipping.
THE LAST STRAW
By VINCENT JONES
Georgians who take their politics
seriously and that includes most of
us, are very much interested in the
trial balloon sent up by the Hon.
Roy Vincent Harris, of Augusta, in
his weekly paper, The Augusta Cour
ier, said paper carrying a reprint of
a laudatory article from the Augusta
Chronicle concerning Mr. Harris’
splendid qualifications for the gov
ernor’s seat.
Recognized as a keen political
analyst of governor-making ability,
Mr. Harris’ support is ardently sought
by those who aspire to the state’s
highest political office.
For years, he has correctly and
with amazing accuracy forecast the
political trends within the state.
Like Lieut.-Gov. Marvin Griffin,
he would not be a strictly factional
candidate. He was a warm friend and
staunch supporter of the late Eugene
Talmadge and, upon several occa
sions, mapped the strategy that led
the elder Talmadge to the statehouse.
Breaking wi.h the Talmadges, he
used his political genius and wide
contacts to great advantage in sup
port of Ellis Arnall when the young
Attorn'ey-Generall blazed his way
across Georgia’s political horizon.
Returning again to the Talmadge
bandwagon, he engineered the vic
tories won by Governor Herman Tal
madge over M. E. Thompson, al-.
though of late he has disagreed vio
lently with the Governor over the
question of better pay for Georgia’s
teachers.
A fiery speaker, a former speaker
of the state House of Representa
tives, thoroughly trained in all phases
of government and recognized as one
of the best qualified men in the
state, Roy Harris is the person most
feared by those avowed or potential
candidates for governorship.
Can Roy Harris, whose political
acumen has made his friends gover
nor of Georgia, make himself gover
nor? That is the interesting question
that only time can aswer.
