DeLaPerriere To Receive
Georgia Applications
Washington.—All Georgia applica
tions for enrollment in the civilian
conservation corps which is to be
placed at work in the forests of the
country should be filed with Herman
DeLaperriere, director of the Geor
gia relief administration, at the
State Capitol in Atlanta, Senators
George and Russell were advised Sat
urday at a conference with officials
of the Labor Department.
The Georgia senators expressed
the hope that those in the state most
in need of employment would be
given the first selection. They ex
pressed complete confidence in the
ability of Mr. DeLaperriere to handle
the situation to the best interest of
all concerned.
Each state will be assigned its
equitable quota from the 250,000
men to be selected for the forest
work, the senators were assured.
Both Senator George and Senator
Russell have been receiving numer
ous inquiries from Georgia, and
have been endeavoring to reply as
rapidly as possible.
Present plans of the Department
of Labor call for enrollment of lab
orers only. It is not thought neces
sary to employ executives or super
visors as the forestry service will
have charge of directing the oper
ations of the camps.
The exact number of forest camps
to be located in Georgia has not been
determined definitely. One will be
ir. Nantahala National Forest, near
Clayton. Another will be located
near Dahlonega in the Cherokee Na
tional Forest.
REGENTS FAVOR
FEWER SCHOOLS
First steps in the reorganization of
the university system are expected
to be taken by the board of regents
at a special meeting to be held next
Saturday at the state capitol.
Under authority vested in the
board by a recent legislative act, the
regents are empowered to make any
changes in the curricula or to order
any eliminations or mergers they
may see fit.
Though no announcement was
forthcoming Saturday, it has been
known for some time that the regents
desire to eliminate several of the
smaller schools of the state and to
merge several others. These matters
are expected to be taken up at next
Saturday’s meeting.
Judge T. F. Green of Athens has
resigned from the board. His suc
cessor has not yet been named.
Messrs. A. J. Jamison and Steele
of Toccoa were dinner guests Sun

WOMANS CLUB
Mr. Benton, Mrs. Bryan, Miss Duke
And Stanley Kesler, Jr., Give
Club Program
A most interesting and enjoyable
program was rendered at the meet
ing of the Woman’s Club, which was
held Monday afternooir-at the home
of Mrs. Stanley Kesler, with Mrs.
Kesler, Misses Peggy Baker, Alloa
j Betts, Martha Watson and Sarah
Whitaker, joint hostesses.
The Collect was by Miss
Betts. The program opened with a
piano solo rendered in a most ex
cellent manner by Stanley Kesler,
Jr. Miss Kate Duke then gave a
most interesting and comprehensive
paper on the Assets and Resources
of Georgia, which filled every heart
present with pride and a fuller con
sciousness that it is really “Great to
Bea Georgian.”
Georga’s early history is famous
because of the arrival in this country
of John and Charles Wesley and
George Whitfield and the influence
they exerted on the religious thought
of the country newly discovered by
James Edward Oglethorpe. “The
Beginning of Religious Denomina
tions in Georgia” was told in a most
inviting and pleasing manner by Mrs.
M. M. Bryan, who gave a detailed
account of the first churches estab
lished in Georgia.
Superintendent of Schools T. T.
Benton had been assigned the sub
ject, “Rise and Development of Edu
cational Institutions.” , Being
thoroughly conversant with the sub
ject of education, and speaking in a
most entertaining manner, Mr. Ben
ton gave a brief history of early
school laws and customs in this
State. He spoke of the decrease in
illiteracy among both white and col
ored persons during the last few de
ca'des. He gave a list of Georgia’s
schools and colleges that are notable
because of outstanding features, as,
for instance, the first state Universi
ty, the first college to give diplomas
to women, the first free high school,
the first endowed high school. Mr.
Benton told how the early schools
were divided inta. four branches:
the Academy, the old field school, the
University system, and the poor
school fund.
For the past eight months, the
club programs have centered around
Georgia history, and the one given
Monday afternoon was one of the
most enjoyable of the series.
A business session was held, with
Mrs. S. A. Boland in the chair, and
a free will offering was taken for
Tallulah Falls School.
Mrs. L. H. Isbell, the librarian, re
ported donations of several books,
and the receipt of anew selection
from the State Library Commission.
She stated that the books are in great
demand, and announced that the
library is open from 3.30 to 5 o’clock
on Tuesday afternoons, and no one
is expected to go for books at any
other time.
Committees were appointed to
plan for the meeting of the Jackson
County Federation, which will be
held at 3 p. m. Thursday afternoon,
April 20, at the home of Mrs. J. C.
Turner. Every member of the club
is urged to attend this meeting.

noon, were: Mesdames Stanley Kes
ler, S. A. Boland, J. D. Escoe, T. T.

R. F. C. AID FUNDS
IN GEORGIA NOW
TOTAL $997,000
Georgia counties and municipali
ties have already rereived $997,000
for the relief of unemployment from
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor
ation and there are applications
pending for more than SIOO,OOO ad
ditional.
Through the relief funds already
received in this state approximately
176,000 Geoigians who are the
heahs of families have been provid
ed employment.
Of the relief funds provided $490,-
000 was secured during the admin
istration of former Governor Rus
sell and the remainder under the
administration of Governor Tal
madge. The relief has been distri
buted over forty-seven counties.
Mr. H. P. DeLaperriere, of Hosch
ton, who has been made director of
relief work for the State of Georgia,
says the employment work is taking
various forms in the state, and that
the Georgia R. F. C. officials are en
couraging road work and that in
some counties every post road lead
ing to schools, churches and state
and federal aid highways has been
worked. The R. F. C. funds can be
used on state aid projects, but not
on federal highways.
Other counties are using the unem
ployed to construct parks and drain
age projects, to repair and paint
public schools, and to clear off ceme
teries.
Fulton County has started four
teen separate projects to provide em
ployment for 12,000 Heads of fami
lies representing 60,000 dependents,
on the basis of five to each family.
In Fulton county the plan is the
planting of 500 acres in gardens in
widely separated portions of the
county. With the funds provided
by the R. F. C. the unemployed men
are paid for working these gardens,
and the county will then distribute
the food produced among needy
families.
GEORGIA REVENUE
$32,000,000 IN 1932
The total income of the state of
Georgia, during 1932 was $32,031,-
306.32 despite a 10 per cent de
crease in the yield from gasoline tax,
the chief source of revenue.
The income was dispensed to vari
ous state departments and agencies,
$27,908,125.95 going to those de
partments which receive direct allo
cations by law and by the appropri
ations act of 1931 and the balance
went under the provisions of the ap
propriations act alone.
Only three of the state’s various
sources of revenue showed an in
crease during the year. The poll
tax income increased 22 per cent,
the income tax yield increased 5 per
cent and the occupational tax on
professional persons yielded an in
crease of 29 per cent. Other minor
levies which are not placed in any
general classification showed an in
creased yield of 3 per cent.
The greatest decreases were made
in the gross sales receipts levy and
the inheritance tax, the former
plunging downward 71 per cent and
the latter falling off 42 per cent.
The general property tax was off but
5 per cent during the year.' The
cigar and cigaret tax yield was off
12 per cent and the yield from the
sale of automobile license tax suf
fered a drop similar to that in gaso
line taxes, 10 per cent.
FIVE JOB CAMPS FIXED FOR
STATE
Following a conference with offi
cials of the agricultural and labor
departments, Representative John S.
Wood has announced a definite de
cision has been reached to establish
at least five unemployment relief re
forestation camps in north Georgia.
All five of the camps will be lo
cated in the ninth congressional dis
trict, served by Mr. Wood, and each
will be assigned a minimum of 250
recruits.
Camp No. 1 will be located six

creek, in Lumpkin county, while the
fifth camp will be located on the
Toccoa basin road between Woody’s
Gap and Morganton, in Lumpkin and
Fannin counties.

SINGING ASSOCIATION
Large Crowd Here Sunday, Great
Day For Singer* And Visitor*
Sunday was a great day in Jeffer
son. Visitors were here from all
sections of the state and from other
states, and it was almost a “Jackson
County Home Coming Day.” The
occasion was the quarterly conven
tion of the State Singing Association.
The weather was ideal, and the pro
gram for the day’s entertainment had
been happily planned, and was suc
cessfully executed.
Dr. L. G. Hardman of Commerce
is president of the association, and
made a talk to the audience. Mr.
Charlie Kesler of Toccoa was master
of ceremonies, and surely made an
idea stage manager. There was not
a dull moment, nor an uninteresting
event in the entire proceedings. Well
known leaders of song, assisted by
the large chorus, rendered the lat
est productions written for musical
entertainment. There were numer
ous solos, |duets, quartettes, etc., by
trained vocalists, and each number
was encored with loud applause.
Between a thousand and twelve
hundred persons were packed in the
auditorium, and a large overflow
crowd entertained themseves in au
tomobies, on the campus, and in dif
ferent places around town. It has
never been our pleasure to witness
a more orderly crowd than the one
occupying the auditorium during the
singing, although a large per cent of
them had to stand.
It was impossible to secure a list
of leaders, prominent singers or
visitors, but the secretary has pro
mised to furnish The Herald with a
detailed account of the proceeding.
When he does this, it will be publish
ed.
GEORGIA PAPER SUCCESSFULLY
USES NEWSPRINT FROM
, HERTY LABORATORY
Savannah, Ga.—Dr. Charles H.
Herty’s dream has come to pass—
they have printed a newspaper on
paper made of Georgia pine pulp.
The Soperton (Ga) News claims
the distinction of being first to issue
an edition with the newsprint pro
duced by the Georgia paper labora
tory in Savannah where Dr. Herty,
famous American scientist, has been
making experiments for months.
Printers said the paper “took the
ink” as well as other newsprint and
some said “it showed up a little bet
ter.” Copies were sent President
Roosevelt because of his interest in
forestry.
The pulp was made from slash pine
trees only seven years old which
were grown by James Fowler, of
Soperton.
The laboratory is continuing ex
periments despite Governor Tal
madge’s recent veto of a $20,000 ap
propriation by the Georgia legisla
ture. Leading newsprint manufac
turers of the United States and Can
ada are due to come here next month
to inspect the plant.
STATE-WIDE POLL ON
BEER BILL LAUNCHED
AMONG LEGISLATORS
Convinced that Governor Eugene
Talmadge will summon the legisla
ture into an extraordinary session to
legalize beer only after he is assured
that a beer will be approved, two
members of the house Monday
launched a state-wide poll of mem
bers of the assembly with a view to
furnishing the governor the informa
tion he desires.
The poll will be conducted by Rep
resentatives Eugene A. Lpting, of
Clarke county, and Will C. Stokes,
of Twiggs county, who will make
their headquarters at Athens.

THREE HILL BOYS
DIE IN THE SERVICE
OF THEIR COUNTRY
Two Georgians, William T. Hill
of Jefferson, and Charles H. Callo
way of Clarkesville, were among the
seventy-one persons who lost their
lives on the ill-fated Akron, and now
lie sleeping in the deep Atlantic.
The death of Mr. Hill is especially 1
sad to his family and friends, in that
two of his brothers had already
given their lives in the service of
their country.
Hoyt Hill died of pneumonia at El
Paso, Tex., in 1917, while the U. S.
troops were patroling the border.
Jewell Hill was killed in France
in 1918.
William Hill had been in the Navy
for several years, and was transferred
to the Akron last fall. He was a
visitor to his home here in 1929, and
it is said was planning another visit
to Georgia next month.
These three young men were sons
of the late Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Hill.
They were reared near Jefferson, and
wene educated at Martin Institute,
and have a large number of friends
In this section.
A brother and three sisters, L. H-
Hill of Greenville, Penn., Mrs. R. L.
Woodward of Atlanta, Mrs. O. E-
Darnell of Jefferson, and Miss Ada
Hill of Atlanta, survive. Also, an
uncle and aunt, Mr. H. A.
and Mrs. M. T. Minish.
