Memorial Hospital in Waycross
Tuesday night, Nov. 26. Mr.

been in the hospital for the last
six days.
Mr. Stokes was born in Pierce
county, now Brantley, the son of
the late Richard and Martha Tho
mas Stokes. Until his retirement
in 1938, he was employed by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad for
33 years as a section foreman.
He was a member of the Na

Local School
Boards May
Hire Lawyer
ATLANTA — Atty. Gen. Eu
gene Cook, noting the great
problems of continuing segrega
tion and adequate financing,” has
ruled that a local board of edu
cation .may spend public school
funds to employ lawyers to de
fend board members in a law
suit.
While there is “no general sta
tute” concerning the authority of
a county board of education to
hire an attorney, he said, there
is implied authority for the
board to employ legal counsel.
In his official opinion to State
School Supt. M- D. Collins, Mr.
Cook said “it is inconceivable”
that a school board would be
forced to accept the services of
the county attorney who is hired
by the county commission which
has no authority over school
matters.
“While public school funds can
only be expended for school pur
poses,” he said, “a school purpose
is not limited to funds spent di
rectly on education such as books,
teachers, and school houses. It
also includes bus drivers, repair
men, janitors, insurance on school
property, etc.
But he said he didn’t think a
local board of education could
employ legal counsel for “a pur
pose outside its proper function,
nor may counsel be employed at
public expense to prosecute or
defend actions by or against such
board members in their individ
ual capacities.’’
Calling attention to the small
compensation of board members
and the “vast maze of school
law” which they administer, Mr.
Cook said “it is inconceivable
that the intent of the framers
of our Constitution or the mem
bers of our General Assembly in
giving these board control, man
agement, and responsibility as
to local schools did not imply
authority to employ adequate
counsel ...”

Flue-Cured
Leaf Quota
Set for 'SB
WASHINGTON — The Agricul
ture Department Monday set
planting allotments for the 1958
crop of flue-cured tobacco at
713,468 acres under a rigid mar
keting quota program.
The allotments, designed to
help prevent over production,
compare with 712,600 acres al
lotted for this year’s crop.
The department said that since
the next total allotments are only
slightly larger than those for this
year, the individual farm allot
ments in nearly all instances will
be the same as this year.
The slight increase in the total
allotments result from allow
ances for allotments to farms
which have not grown flue-cur
ed tobacco during the past five
years, from corrections, and from
adjustment of inequities among
individual farm allotments.
The department also announc
ed that as was the case this year
prices for Coker 139, Coker 140
and Dixie Bright 214 varieties
will be supported at one half the
rate for comparable grades of
other varieties.
These varieties were put under
price support discount, because,
the department said, they are
low to lacking in flavor* aroma
and body color now in demand
by the cigarette industry.
The base price support rate
will be 90 per cent of parity, as
prescribed by law. Parity is a
standard for setting up farm
prices declared by law to be fair
to farmers in relation to prices
charged them.
Marketing quotas were ap
proved by growers in a 1955 re
ferendum for a three-year period
ending with the 1958 crop.

Cook Rules Against Use of
Confederate Flag Trademark
ATLANTA — Atty. Gen. Eu
gene Cook has ruled against the
use of the Confederate Flag in
a proposed trademark because it.
contains “deceptive” matter and
“falsely suggests a connection”
between h product and the Con
federacy.
A granite company had applied
to Secretary of State Ben W.
Fortson, Jr., for a copyright on
a trademark using the Confed
erate Flag above the words
“Confederate Grey”. To have
granted the application would
have had the effect of giving the
company exclusive use of the
Confederate Flag for commercial
purposes.
Mr. Cook’s ruling to Mr. Fort
son noted that a trademark which
is “Deceptive” or which suggests
a connection between a product
and “persons, living or dead, in
stitutions, beliefs, or national
symbols” would be against the
provisions of the 1952 Trade
Mark Act of Georgia.
“Going back to the Flag of
the Confederacy, there is yet an
other reason why it is not prop
erly the subject of copyright re
gistration,” he said. “In 1956 the
Georgia General Assembly adopt
ed a new State Flag which con-

sists primarily of an exact re

which has been added only the
State Seal upon a blue back
ground with its tenets of Wisdom,
Justice and Moderation.
A fourth reason for refusing
the application was that the
words “Confederate Grey” were
“merely descriptive of the color
of the granite to which, in one
form or another, the application
affixes or proposes to affix the
mark under consideration.”
The Attorney General said
“thus the proposed trademark
comprises a substantial and rec
ognizable portion, nay, the ma
jor portion, of the Flag of the
State of Georgia.”
Mr. Cook said “the words ‘Con
federate Grey’ are merely de
scriptive of the color of the gra
nite to which, in one form or
another, the applicant affixes or
proposes to affix the mark un
der consideration.”
“It is well settled,” he wrote,
“That a word or combination of
words which is merely descrip
tive of an article of trade, its
characteristics or qualities can
not be appropriated and protect
ed as a trademark.”

Jim Thomas:
Future Farmer
With a Future
(From the Georgia Future
Farmer Magazine)
A preacher once told his con
gregation, “Opportunity never
knocks. But,” he continued, “it
is always standing beside you
waiting to be recognized.”
Jim Thomas of Patterson might
have been a member of that
preacher’s congregation and tak
en heed to his words, for during
the past four years Jim has been
recognizing opportunities in FFA
from every direction. Not only
has he seen these chances for
self-improvement, but he has
been able to take advantage of
them. And when things did not
work out as he hoped, he was
able to accept defeat and start
out again.
A story told many times about
Jim is his experience with pub
lic speaking. Three times Jim
took part in the public speaking
contest and lost. But on the
fourth try he won. Almost the
same thing happened as he tried
for a state office. The first year
he was defeated, but on the se
cond try he was elected presi
dent.
What makes Jim’s story inter
esting and of value to other FFA
members is not that he finally
won, but that he lost first and
then tried again. When Jim fail
ed in public speaking and again
in trying for a state office, he
had no assurance of winning if
he tried a second time. Neverthe
less, he did try.
The lesson to be learned here
is that losing is natural and
won’t hurt anybody. That is, it
won’t hurt if the loser is able
to take up from the point that
he lost and start out a second
and perhaps a third or fourth
time. t .... ,
The sunny side of the picture
is that often after several at
tempts the loser becomes the
winner, as in the case of Jim
Thomas. The happy sequel to his
story is that by proceeding in
what he probably thought a na
tural way, he drew the attention
and gained the interest of an un
identified friend of the FFA.
This friend has given Jim the
opportunity of a four year col
lege education. If the past is any
prediction of the future, the
chances are that Jim will take
full advantage of this new op
portunity and turn it into a pro
fit to himself, the donor, and to
the FFA as a whole.
