GEORGE DECLARES
VOCATION SCHOOL
* EXPANSION NEEDED
r
Atlanta, Ga.—According to Sen
ator Walter F. George, higher pay
and shorter hours make vocational
training of young people more im
portant than ever before.
Speaking to the Georgia Associ
ation of School Superintendents at
the final session of their annual
meeting here, Senator George said
that “the time is already here, but
it will be better understood in the
future, when business and industry
can not take the young man or wo
man into their employ for a period
of training. High pay and short
fcours mean that every worker will
have to be fully trained in order to
be useful.”
He declared that the vocational
field of education must be expand
ed as rapidly' as possible, without de
tracting from cultural studies, espe
cially in the southeast, which “is on
the lowest rung of the economic
ladder.”
“If you want social betterment,”
be continued, “you have to lay the
economic foundation in the life and
homes of the people of this state.
Before you talk so much about so
cial security, you’ve got to talk
about economic security for the
men and women who toil.”
He called this “a day of oppor
tunity for teachers” to guide youth
toward economic security when “all
America is a bit discouraged yet,”
and declared one reason behind de
pression unemployment was that “so
many young men and women didn’t
know how to do many things, and
most of what they did know was a
carry-over from home training.”
WHEN THE CLOUDS ARE DARK
It is pleasing to see, though the
clouds are dark,
And life’s path is so hard to
tread,
That by going along, through the
land of hope,
We shall find brighter lights
ahead;
That the clouds may be chased all
away at last,
If pursued by the sun’s bright
light;
For there never has yet been a time
so dark,
But the daylight would follow
night.
And so when we are sad and the
world seems dark,
Let us ask for the Father’s light
To be guiding us out of the soul’s
despair,
To the days which will seem more
bright.
Have fond hope and sweet faith in
the prayers you give,
And expect that they will come
true;
Then the Father will hear and His
loving smile
Will be bringing rewards to you.

TRIVIAL BUT TERRIBLE
Common colds, which are usually
most common if not most serious at
this turn of the year, are estimated
by the United States Bureau of
Public Health to inflict annually an
economic loss of a half a billion
dollars. The average worker loses
from three to five days out of his
calendar because of an ailment
which is so trite that its victims re
ceive no sympathy, but which be
comes in the aggregate one of the
major foes of human welfare. It
eludes the keenest of scientific re
searchers as easily as it catches hun
dreds of thousands of ordinary and
extratordinary people. Dr. Robert
A. Fraser, chief medical director of
the great! life insurance companies,
reports that in spite of all the time
and talent and money which have
been spent in studying the cause and
cure of colds, “authorities agree on
very few points and the results of
widely scattered experiments are
full of contradictions.” The Doctor
gives ten rules, however, which are
helpful in avoiding colds, rules so
simple that few persons hvay be im
pressed by them. But for the bene
fit of those who are wise enough to
appreciate the value of the common
place, we pass the prescription on:
1. Get plenty of sleep, fresh air
and sunshine.
2. Eat all the nourishing food you
need, but avoid overeating.
3. Dress sensibly and with regard
to the climate.
4. If you get wet, change to dry
clothing as soon as possible.
5. Breathe through your nose, not
your mouth.
6. Bathe daily.
7. Avoid constipation.
8. Get outdoor exercise every
day. Long walks are excellent.
9. Avoid sudden changes of tem
perature.
10. Keep away from people who
have colds.

SELLS SNAKES BY FOOT OR
YARD
It really doesn’t matter to Charles
Arnold Varian, of Plainsfield, N. J.,
whether you want one foot of snake
or whether you want a yard. Just
name it and your reptile is promptly
measured, wrapped up and passed
over the counter like so many bags
of potatoes.
“The demand for snakes is more
than people imagine,” Varian said.
“We sell yards and yards of snakes
to carnival acts and charmers and
to professors who lecture with
snakes on the platform. They’ll buy
snakes just like zoos do.”
Recalling the case of a young
blonde who swaggered into his shop
with a pink bow in her hair and said:
“Gimmie a reptile,” Varian said:
sir, I sold her a nine-foot
regal python, and darned if she
didn’t take that thing home and give
it a nest in her bathtub. She’d
drape Manuel—that’s the snake’s
name—around her neck as if he
were a silver fox:. Once she told us
what a good snake he was, because
whenever she came home alone she
would open the door and shout,
‘Man-u-e-I,’ and the thing would
come snaking out of the bathtub to
meet her.”
“Now, you can’t just get out the
scissors as if you were selling a
rope—so you’ve got to measure,”
Varian continued, discussing his
greatest problem: “to get the snakes
to measure,” since prices are by the
foot or yard.
“It’s hard to be sure about the
exact fit, because a python just
won’t stay straight. The minute
you shove in one hump, he’ll hump
up somewhere else. Well, I use the
string method, because it’s more
form-fitting. Then I just measure
off the string.”

FARMER IS LOSING CONTROL OF
LAND, EXPERT STATES
Athens, Ga.—Dr. O. E. Baker, of
Washington, told Georgia home
demonstration workers Thursday
that the farmers—people actually
working the soil—are slowly losing
ownership of the land. He added
that he was “impressed with the
wide-spread poverty of rural peo
ple, not only in the south, but all
over the country.”
Baker, senior agricultural econ
omist of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, was the feat
ured speaker here at an extension
school for home demonstration
agents of the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, and home supervisors
of the Farm Security Administra
tion.
“On a ninety-mile automobile
trip through a southern state re
cently,” the economist declared, “I
counted only four fairly good farm
houses. It was apparent that prac
tically all land-owners had moved to
town, except those who were too
poor to do so. Another thing I have
noticed is that some of the richest
lands in the United States, those of
the Mississippi Delta, are associated
with the poorest farm houses.
“Figures show, and I am firmly
convinced they are correct, that the
depletion of soil fertility by erosion,
leaching and removal of the essen
tial elements in crops, has more than
counter-balanced the combined ef
forts of experiment stations, exten
sion services, and the agricultural
press.”
Other speakers on the morning
program were Dr. B. D. Tillett, as
sociate professor of agricultural
economics at the University of Geor
gia, who spoke on “Migration of
Rural People;” and Miss May Zeig
ler, associate professor of psycholo
gy of Leadership.”
BORAH, HOOVER IN STRUGGLE
Washington.—A finish fight between
Senator Borah and former President
Hoover for control of the Republi
can Pai'ty was in full swing as fol
lowers of the Idaho statesman laid
plans to combat an organized
“draft-Hoover” movement.
Borah tasted first blood when he
led the successful campaign that de
feated Hoover’s proposal for a mid
term convention. His followers now
propose to have a decisive voice in
any program of Republican policies
laid (jown by the Republican Nation
al Committee’s “policy committee.”
The Borah block, quiescent in the
1936 campaign, roared into action
only recently, when they learned
Hoover followers were organizing a
national drive to “draft Hoover” as
party leader and undoubtedly as the
1940 nominee. Proof of this move
ment was discovered in organization
letters, broadcast by Hoover leaders.
One such letter, written by Ali
son Reppy, law professor at New
York University, to an Indiana Re
publican, sounded the keynote:
“Spread the gospel of Mr. Hoov
er’s intellectual leadership.”
