FERA Drops Thousands
From Relief List
Several thousand aged and infirm
persons, widows and children —all
classified as unemployables by the
FERA —were left without means of
support in Georgia at midnight Sat
urday night when the FERA struck
their names from its lists and turn
ed them over to the cities and coun
ties to supply the unfortunates with
food and shelter.
Under the $4,880,000,000 works
relief program all direct relief in
Georgia halted at midnight on May
31, and those unable to work, known
as unemployables, were turned back
to the cities and counties to main
tain.
Miss Gay B. Shepperson, FERA
administrator in Georgia, declined
to discuss the situation, saying she
“had nothing to say.”
It was announced at FERA head
quarters that Georgia’s allotment
for June had been authorized by
Hopkins. The state will receive
$1,935,363 for work relief and
$440,000 to carry on rural rehabili
tation work. Under rules laid down
by Hopkins, however, none of this
money can be used for the unemploy
ables.
Under FERA classifications all who
are physically incapacitated, wid
ows with small children and the
aged, are classed as unemployable.
Heretofore, the persons stricken
from the relief rolls received sub
sistence allowances from the federal
government, the allowance being
barely enough to sustain life.
TALK ABOUT COVERAGE!
Many papers brag about their
“coverage.” We cover the county
like a'blanket with the Record and
that’s not all! The Record also cov
ers numerous pantry shelves hither
and thither and yon. It covers pans
of bread dough and milk. It covers
cracks in the window panes and the
broader house floor. It covers the
bed spring to keep the cold from
creeping through the thin mattress.
It covers the hen house walls and
broken places in the plaster. And
sometimes it covers a multitude of
sins by not mentioning them.

GOV. TALMADGE ELECTED
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
Atlanta. —In furtherance of his
campaign against President Roose
velt and the national administration
Governor Talmadge Thursday had
himself elected Georgia’s democratic
national committeeman by the state
democratic executive committee
which adopted a resolution praising
his stand on national problems.
But it adopted a resolution extend
ing “friendly greetings” to the
president and wishing him “divine
guidance in his untiring efforts to
restore peace, happiness and pros
perity to the nation.”
The friendly gesture toward the
president was initiated by Judge
Newt A. Morris, of Marietta, who had
been called upon to second the nomi
nation of Governor Talmadge. This
Judge Morris did in a laudatory ad
dress concerning the governor’s a
chievements as governor in which he
stated that he wanted to make it
clear that he did not go along with
the governor in fall in his attacks on
the national administration.
He offered the following resolu
tion which was adopted unanimously:
“Be it resolved by the democratic
executive committee of the state of
Georgia this day assembled:
“(a) That we extend to President
Franklin D. Roosevelt our friendly
greetings and wish for him divine
guidance in his untiring efforts to
restore peace, happiness and pros
perity to the nation.
“(b) That the chairman and secre
tary of this committee are requested
to send by wire a copy of these res
olutions to President Rosevet.”
The governor was elected by a
unanimous rising vote of the com
mittee at its session at the Ansley
hotel. He was selected to succeed
and serve out the unexpired term
of the late Major John S. Cohen,
after Ryburn G. Clay, president of
the Fulton National bank, had an
nounced in a letter to the committee
that he would be unable to serve as
committeeman. Mr. Clay pointed out
to the committee that he was a mem
ber of the directorate of the Atlanta
Federal Reserve bank and that rules
of the bank prohibited him from ac
cepting a political post.

experiment.”

NORTHERN GEORGIA
FOR F. D. R.—WHELCHEL
Washington, June 3.—Residents
the ninth congressional district of
Georgia have an abiding faith in
President Roosevelt and believe that
under his administration a long step
has been taken toward cmoplete na
tional recovery.
This is the message brought back
to Washington by Representative B.
Frank Whelchel, of Gainesville, who
has just returned after addressing a
convention of rural letter carriers
held in his home town over the week
end.
“Really, I was dumbfounded to
find conditions so much improved in
northern Georgia,” said Judge Whel
chel. “My district is fairly repre
sentative of the northern part of the
state, and every constituent with
whom I talked, told me congress
should immediately pass legislation
that would serve as an adequate sub
stitute for the NRA, which was re
cently declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court.
“I am going to tell Mr. Roose
velt,” Judge Whelchel declared,
“that notwithstanding recent ad
verse reports from the state, his ad
ministration has worked wonders in
the ninth congressional district and
that my people have an abiding faith
in his efforts to lead them out of
their past economic wilderness. I
am more convinced than ever that
the people of the president’s south
ern home desire no new leader and
are content to go along with the
present occupant of the White House
rather than follow one less qualified
to lead.”
10-YEAR-OLD DIES OF
HYDROPHOBIA 3 WEEKS
AFTER BITE BY DOG
Atlanta, Ga.—Despite anti-rabies
treatments, 10-year-old Wilbur Moo
day, who was bitten three weeks ago
by a dog, died early Monday morn
ing of hydrophobia.
The boy was admitted to Grady
hospital Sunday afternoon several
Hours after the disease had suddenly
set in. Five special doctors were
called to his beside but every effort
to check the ravages of rabies was
unavailing.
His was the first hydrophobia case
in five years to be treated at the mu
nicipal hospital.
Wilbur, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Moody, of 986 Moreland ave
nue, S. E., was bitten on the nose
and face three weeks ago by a dog
belonging to a neighbor. The boy
was taken to a physician and im
mediately started taking the Pasteur
treatment of anti-rabies serum which
is supplied by the state.
Health department officials point
ed out Monday that the Pasteur ser
um is certain in 999 cases out of 1,-
000 if the treatment is started early
enough. However, it was believed
the rabies germs traveled to the
boy’s brain exceptionally rapidly be
cause the infection began on his
face.
