POLITICAL TALK .
The “Sunshine Magazine” re
ports that during a political ral
ly in Canada the platform sud
denly gave way and threw the
speaker to the ground, A com
mittee of ordinary citizens has
been sent across the border to
determine exactly how it was
done.
Yes, the time has arrived for
political oratory. Walter Daven
port says in “Collier’s”, “To as
sist you in the months ahead
comes J. W. Trimble, member of
Congress from Berryville, Ar
kansas. Watch carefully the cam
paign orator’s eyes, he advises.
Are they direct or furtive? Does
your spellbinder make sweeping
gestures with his arms? If he
does, beware; And, Mr. Trimble
goes on, note particularly his
lips. ‘lf they’re moving,’ he says,
‘he’s lying.”
Bill Vaughn says in the “VFW
Magazine” that one of the best
tip-offs that a politican is trying
to hide something is when he
starts off his speech with “First
of all I want to make one thing
crystal clear”.
Then says Fred Cloud in the
“Kingman (Kansas) Courier -
Leader,” “There is only one

for advertising all affairs for which
thing that can make people do
and say more foolish things
than love — and that is poli
tics.”
Someone has truthfully said;
“Politics make strange bedfel
lows, but they soon get accust
omed to the bunk.”
Dr. Hans Sperber of the Ohio
State University says:: “During
the early years, every child de
lights in using language as a
plaything. Later, (this freedom)
is replaced by a code of prohi
bitive rules: he mustn’t repeat,
mustn’t shout, mustn’t talk non
sense. But when he has grown
to manhood and finds himself at
a political rally, he finds he is
not only allowed but encourag
ed to do the very things he has
been forced to abandon.
“Now he may shout and enjoy
constant repetitions and language
so illogical he is practically on
the level of infantile nonsense Ad
usive talk is no longer banned.
The old phonetic tricks of rhy
me and alliteration comes into
their own.
“No wonder that in this at
mosphere not many people are a
ble to act their age.”
If we can judge from the past
politics will continue to have
certain characteristics. Accord
ing to Harold Anderson in the
“Omaha World-Herald”, “Politi
cans apparently haven’s changed
much in 2,000 years. An old glos
sary of legal terms, explaining
the Latin word ‘candidati; gives
this description of political can
didates in ancient Rome:
“For a long time before the e
lection, the candidate endeavored
to gain the favor of the people
by every popular art —by go
ing around to their houses, by
shaking hands with those they
met, by addressing them in a
kindly manner and naming
them.”
The Stetson University maga
zine, “Whatsoever Things,” re
minds us that “Samuel Johnson
pointed out, a couple of centur
ies ago, a truth that all of us
might find useful to remember
during this election year. ‘The
superiority of some men,” he
wrote, ‘is merely local. They
are great because their associates
are little.’ Before you decide how
tall the various candidates are,
take the measure of men around
them. It doesn’t take a very big
man to tower over pigmies.”
Oren Arnold well says in the
didate “Kiwanis Magazine”:
“Let no candidate start prating
about new deals, raw deals and
such this year, if he hopes to
get my vote. I’m supporting on
ly those with ideals.”
HOE HAS DUAL PURPOSE
Controlling grass and weeds in
vegetable crops is the primary
purpose of cultivating with a
hoe, rake, or the usual cultivat
ing equipment. But such tools,
according to Extension Service
Horticulturist Cecil Blackwell,
also double in use as an aid in
breaking the crust formed after
hard, packing rains.

BROILERS STILL GROWING
If the present rate continues,
Georgia broiler production this
year will exceed that of 1955 by
20 percent or more. Arthur Gan
non, Extension poultryman at the
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture, says this will mean
well over 200,000,000 birds grown
in the state in 1956. He said be
tween 3,693,000 and 5,122,000
have been started each week.
Twenty-seven per cent of all
drivers involved in fatal auto
accidents in the U. S. last year
were under 25 years of age.

Pollution Bill
Details Given
WASHINGTON, D.C. — “Now,
we can move forward on some
of the other water conservation
projects in Georgia,” said Con
gresswoman Iris Blitch, in com
menting on the passage this week
by the Congress of. the water
pollution bill.
“The new law provides for
financial aid to municipalities in
the development of better water
systems,” the Congresswoman
said, “in addition to granting aid
to states to assist them in meet
ing the costs of establishing and
maintaining adequate measures
for the prevention and control
of water pollution.”
One of the principle benefits
that the new law will bring to
Georgia is the establishment of
uniform regulations regarding
the pollution of streams by in
dustrial and chemical plants. With
the influx of industry to the
South, the problem of stream pol
lution has increased in recent
years. Now, under the Public
Health Service, the use of pub
lic waters can be regulated.
The bill attacks the problem
on a broad front. It contains pro
visions to (1) increase technical
assistance to states, (2) intensify
research to develop better meth
ods of waste treatment, (3)
strengthen enforcement against
industrial polluters of interstate
streams, and (4) provide grants
to municipalities for construction
of needed treatment works.
Mrs. Blitch emphasized that in
the Bth District, such industrial
plants always had cooperated in
controlling water pollution and
she said she felt sure the new
law would be as welcome to
them as to the small municipali
ties, farmers and sportsmen who
will benefit from it.
The grants to cities will have
to be first approved by the var
ious State Health Departments.
A total of SSO million annually
is authorized for this purpose.
At least half this amount must
be awarded to cities of less than
125,000 population. Funds will be
available, with the Federal gov
ernment contributing no more
than one-third the cost, and in
no case exceeding $300,690 for
any single project.
Congresswoman Blitch is a
member of the Public Works
Committee which was responsi
ble for drafting the new law.
Her work on the pollution bill
tied in closely with her vigorous
and unending fight for soil and
water conservation that she has

Your Name in The Paper
How valuable is local newspaper advertising to local
business people ? Here’s what the American Banker’s
magazine, a publication which represents a traditionally
hard-headed profession, has to say: “No business man or
woman in any town should allow a newspaper to go to
press without his or her name and business being men
tioned somewhere in its columns. This does not mean you
should have a whole, half, or even a quarter page ad
vertisement in each issue of the paper but your name
and address should be mentioned if you do not use more
than a two-line space.
“A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able
to tell what business is represented in a town . . . it’s
the best possible town advertiser. The man or woman who
does not advertise does an injustice to himself or herself
and definitely to the town.”
