BEQUEST OF $50,000 TO DOG
HOSPITAL RULED INVALID
Macon, Ga. —The Snowball Dog
Hospital, proposed in the will of a
wealthy plantation owner to give
canines “a square deal,” probably
will never get beyond the stage of
a dog lover’s dream.
Judge Malcom D. Jones ruled Fri
day that the late George H. Slap
pey’s bequest of $50,000 for the
hospital here was “invalid and in
capable of being carried into execu
tion under the laws of Georgia.”
In his eight-page opinion Judge
Jones cited both American and Eng
lish law on the subject of perpetui
ties.
“The decisions of the courts of
England are entitled to profound re
spect,” he said, “but king, parlia
ment and their courts combined can
not except a dog hospital from the
rule against perpetuities, unless the
Georgia Legislature suspends the
operation of the rule.”
Trustees of the Slappey estate
contended the hospital project was
in the nature of a charitable trust
and therefore was excepted from
the rule.
Mrs. Jones found Mrs. Smith the
aviator’s wife, in tears.
“Whatever is the matter, my
dear?” she asked anxiously.
“I’m worrying about Jim,” said
Mrs. Smith: “He’s been trying all
week to kill our cat, and as a last
resort he took her up two thousand
feet in his plane. He said he would
drop her over the side.”
“Well, what is there about that to
worry you? ”
“Lots,” exclaimed the frantic wo
man. “Jim isn’t home yet, and the
cat is.”

Jackson County Is One of
35 For Tenant Purchase
Farm Security Administration ten
nnt purchase loans will soon be
available to residents of this county,
according to a statement released by
Thomas M. Henderson, rehabilitation
supervisor of the Farm Security
Administration, from his offices in
Jefferson.
Supervisor Henderson states that
Jackson is one of the counties desig
nated by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace to be provided with funds
this fiscal year for loans to low-in
come farm families ns provided for
in the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act.
The appropriation for the first
year of $10,000,000 for the Nation
contemplates enabling these loans to
be made in approximately 300 coun
ties of the Nation. Of this first
year’s appropriation Georgia was al
lotted $635,000 to be distributed
over the State among the 36 coun
ties designated for this first year’s
program.
This county, as well as other coun
ties designated, will be able to make
loans to not less than five and to not
more than ten families according to
land costs and as approved by the
local Farm Security Advisory Com
mittee.
The Bankhead-Jones legislation
provides that applications for loans
to acquire farms will be accepted by
the local county offices of the reha
bilitation supervisor who will act as
secretary to the advisory committee.
The Farm Security Advisory com
mittee, appointed by Secretary Wal
lace, will pass on all purchase pro
positions and as to the economic
possibilities and value of the lands
desired purchased. No action can
be taken on any application until
this local committee has been estab
lished in the county and are ready
to consider the propositions sub
mitted. A supply of necessary
forms will be rushed to this office in
a few days and the business of ac
cepting applications will be started.
The tenant purchase program will
be administered in the designated
counties in connection with other
services provided all counties by the
rehabilitation division of the Farm
Security Administration. These ser
vices include rehabilitation loans to
finance crop-making, impromevents
to farm and home, group loans to
provide needed equipment or ser
vices to farm groups in communi
ties, farm debt adjustment for as
sistance to families with debt bur
dens beyond their ability to pay,
guidance in farm and home manage
ment practices to improve standards
of living and provide additional cash
revenues and accumulation of net
worth.
Under title one of the Bankeahd-
Jones Farm Tenant Act, the persons
eligible to apply for loans to acquire
farms is set forth as follows:
“Only farm tenants, farm labor
ers, sharecroppers, and other indi
viduals who obtain, or who recently
obtained, the major portion of their
income from farming operations
shall be eligible to receive the bene
fits of this title. In making avail
able the benefits of this title, the
Security shall give preference to
persons who are married, or who
have dependent families, or, wherev
er practicable, to persons who are
able to make an initital down pay
ment, or who are owners of live
stock and farm implements neces
sary successfully to carry on farm
ing operations. No person shall be
eligible who is not a citizen of the
United States.”
“No loan shall be made for the
acquisition of any farm unless it is
of such size as the Secretary deter
mines to be sufficient to constitute
an efficient farm-management unit
and to enable a diligent farm family
to carry on successful farming of a
type which the Secretary deems can
be successfully carried on in the
locality in which the farm is situat
ed.”
DEFEAT FORECAST FOR
CIVIL SERVICE ACT
Atlanta. —The Civil Service Bill,
which would freeze into place the
6,950 employees at present on the
payroll of the State, seems destined
to fail of passage at this session, al
though strongly desired by the ad
ministration and placed by Gov.
Rivers on his “must list.”
The measure passed the Senate,
but encountered stiff opposition in
the house, and was referred to a
sub-committee for study. Since
many measures now have precedence
on the calendar, it can hardly be
reached before the date tentatively
fixed for adjournment of the extra
session.
GOVERNOR RIVERS EXTENDS
GREETINGS TO FELLOW
GEORGIANS
Christmas offers a season of the
year for every one to participate
with an understanding heart and at
titude of mind emulating in man
kind the principles of the Prince of
Peace, whose birth we celebrate dur
ing this yulctide season.
This season offers us an oppor
tunity to look about us and help our
less fortunate fellowman and to
realize that despite whatever re
verses we may have had during the
year there are others worse off than
ourselves.
We are at peace, while other na
tions are at war. May the spirit of
Christ so live in the hearts of men
that peace may return to all the
world.
Since it is physically impossible
for me to send each friend in Geor
gia a personal Christmas card, I take
this method of extending each of
you on behalf of Mrs. Rivers, myself
and our family our very best wish
es for a merry Christmas and a
pleasant and prosperous 1938.
Faithfully yours,
E. D. Rivers, Governor.
VITAL VERITIES
(From Georgia’s Health)
The Georgia Vital Statistics Law
was passed in 1914 and the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics was or
ganized in 1919. Since that time
there have been 1,291,772 birth and
643,772 death certificates filed with
this department.
tt t t
Did you know that in the United
States for the year 1936 there was
an accidental injury every three
seconds and an accidental death ev
ery five minutes? Thirty-five per
cent of these fatal accidents occur
red in the home and thirty-four per
cent were caused by motor vehicles.
t+ t t
Christmas and Fourth of July fire
works cause hundreds of injuries
and deaths every year. In spite of
annual warnings published in the
newspapers and magazines, the sale
of toy pistols, cannon crackers, and
torpedoes goes on almost without
restriction. The man or woman who
could induce the American people to
celebrate in a happier and more use
ful and appropriate manner would
win everlasting renown.
Vital statistics is the bookkeeping
of human life. The two most im
portant events to a human being arc
birth and death.
CHRISTMAS STABLE
On Christmas eve I like to go
Through dusky stalls where cattle
low,
To give them ears of corn and make
Them glad for little Jesus’ sake.
Their quiet breathing warmed the
hay
On which the new-born Saviour lay
And their curved horns shone dim
and mild
Above the tiny sleeping child.
I stroke each curried flank . . . the
fur
As thick and warm as miniver . . .
And every eye is soft and clear
As if a child were cradled here.

TECH, GEORGIA FOOTBALL TAX
RULED ILLEGAL
New Orleans, La.—The federal
statute taxing admissions to football
games and other athletic exhibitions
does not apply to state-controlled
institutions of learning, the Fifth
United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals held.
The case came before the court
from the Federal District Court of
Georgia and was styled W. E. Page,
collector of internal revenue for the
District of Georgia, vs. Regents
University System of Georgia.
The Regents of the University
System of Georgia had protested
the collection of the federal tax on
football games.
The court pointed out that the
question strikes at the heart of con
stitutional law, namely, the well
settled principle that the federal
government may not tax a state
government or subdivision thereof.

Co-eds Approve Gum Behind Closed
Lips
Knoxville, Tenn. University of
Tennessee co-eds have agreed that
gum-chewing for the modern miss is
all right if the “proper technique”
and a bit of restraint are observed.
The important thing, they said,
was to select the “time and place,”
and then “chew it right.”
“Chewing with the mouth closed
is imperative,” one co-cd said. “The
open mouth technique gives the up-'
pearance of a cat licking its chops
and sounds awful.”
“The way some people chew it,”
said Maxine Vun Kannon, of Mem
phis, “I’d say ban it forever.” She
added, however, that chewing at
football and basketball games “helps
your cheering.”

could get out of its reach. He shot
the snake and was rushed here and

basket for Dr. C. O. Templeton.
Dr. Templeton’s waste basket is a
