WOODBINE CEMETERY
QVEN ATTENTION
BY CITY OFFICIALS .
“The Silent City of the Dead,” the
place where mortal remains of hu
man beings repose beneath the sod,
is a hollowed place. .As one walks
among the graves of the departed,
■where beautiful flowers are growing
•which fill the air with fragrance, a
feeling of awe, solemnity and sad
ness prevails. Here sleep the remains
of relatives, friends and loved ones.
They have gone to that countiyj
from whose bourne no traveler ever j
returns.
This week Chief of Police C. L.
Pettyjohn carried a Herald repre
sentative to Woodbine cemetery, the
burial place of the dead in this city.
For days he has had a number of
men at work in the cemetery, clean
ing the walks and lots of weeds,
trash and debris. He has supervised
the work and his splendid efforts
have improved the appearance of
the cemetery grounds. Few cities
with no greater population than Jef
ferson have more beautiful and im-
posing monuments than this one. Yet
some of the memorials need atten
tion. Probably the tallest and most
expensive monument in Woodbine
is now in a leaning position and in
danger of falling. Others arc in sim
ilar situation. The chief needs a
hundred or two dollars from those
who have relatives buried there to
put the monuments in proper shape,
to fill in sunken graves, and to do
other necessary work on the lots of
individuals. Already, he has raked
their surface clean of leaves, grass
and debris, but the work mentioned
above is needed in addition to the
splendid service he has given.
Then again, there are many ves
sels in the cemetery filled with stag
nant water. These are to hold beau
tiful flowers, carried there by ten
der and loving hands, but these wat
er pots are incubators for mosqui
toes. People living in the vicinity
-of this burial place for the dead
complain of the multiplicity of these
unwelcome pests. The mayor and
council and chief of this city have
called on people who have lots in
Woodbine not to let stagnant water
remain in their water vessels. It is
the sincere desire of city officials to
make the cemetery clean and beau
tiful, but healthy as well. All peo
ple interested should give their co
operation. f
People of Jefferson deeply appre
ciate the attention given to the cem
etery and commend the city officials
and especially Chief Pettyjohn for
this splendid service.
Gene Sticks To Ideas
On Publishing Names
Atlanta,. —Disagreeing with feder
al officials, Governor Eugene Tal
mndge is adhering to his contention
that names of all Georgians receiv
ing old-age pensions, and the amount
given to each, should be made pub
lic.
In today’s issue of The States
man, his weekly newspaper, the gov
ernor will say, in i>art:
“A delegation from Washington
was in to see me yesterday in ref
erence to the state of Georgia pass
ing a law to keep the amounts that
are paid to people for old age pen
sions and other benefits under the
social security law secret—not only
the amount, but the names and ad
dresses of those people, secret.
“They were requesting me to ad
vocate legislation whereby it would
be against the law of Georgia for any
one to give out information as to
who was receiving an old age pen
sion, or the amount received.
“I told this committee that I
knew the Georgia Cracker well
enough to know that he would not
be willing for such legislation.
“It never hurts anything to turn
the light of day on it.”
NURSES NEEDED
The army needs nurses. By June,
when the army personnel will have
greatly increased, some 4,000 addi
tional nurses will be required for
duty in army hospitals. The response,
General I. J. Phillipson has told the
Red Cross, has been rather slow,
simply because the need has not been
appreciated. There are plenty of
opportunities in the army nursing
service, in both reserve and active
■status, for all qualified nurses who
wish to serve.
The loyalty of nurses during the
World War was one of its brightest
pictures. As soon as the need : s
clearly understood, there is no doubt
that it will be filled, even
though the crisis is not as acute or
the need as pressing.

GIA IN FORM OF NEW
TOOMBS CITY
Atlanta.—A small Georgia com
munity has assured a flood of
Christmas mail when the senate
passed Friday a house-approved bill
creating the city of Santa Clause in
Toombs county near Lyons.
An appeal to workers throughout
Georgia to register at once with the
nearest State employment office has
been issued by Hon. Ben T. Huiett,
Commissioner of the State Depart
ment of Labor. He said that by
Aprli 15 the Georgia State Employ
ment Service hopes to find out ex
actly how many workers in the State
are available for jobs or training
in occupations needed by defen§p in
dustries and other types of business
now expanding. “This registration
is being conducted on a Nation-wide
scale,” he explained, “as part of the
national defense program and is de
signed not only to get the unemploy

ble, but also to insure that as soon
as workers are needed in defense
production they can be reached with
out delay.”
Peace rules the day, where reason
rules the mind.
SUNSHINE AND RAIN
There is no sunshine seems *o sweet,
As that which follows rain;
There is not rest that’s so complete.
As that which follows pain.
It is the bitter makes the sweet,
The cross that makes the crown;
It is the sting of grim defeat
To victory brings renown.
Life would be droll and dull indeed
If every day were bright;
Of day we would not know the need,
if God had made no night.
And, if some rain shall come my
way
Why should I droop and pine?
I know the clouds will pass away—-
The sun more brightly shine.
I know the God, who sends the rain,
Knows best for me and you;
I know the flowers will bloom again.
The sun comes smiling through.
I see his rainbow in the sky,
By faith I now can see
The God, who reigns and rules on
high,
Knows what is best for me.
Peace is the healing and elevating
influence of the world.

Payers
Next week’s Herald will carry a list of
places to be visited by me for the purpose of

Personal calls have already been made to
most of the business houses in the county, but,
due to cold weather, visits in the rural sections
have been limited.
I am requesting that when I call at the
homes, that some member of the family be able
to inform me how to make the tax return.
This will save time.
May Ist is the deadline for tax exemptions.
Will appreciate every person interested to see
me by this date. When in Jefferson, call at the
tax receiver’s office and make your return.
As your public servant, 1 am here to serve
you, and will make every effort to suit your con

of those who are old or sick. Send me a card
and it will give me pleasure to call personally.

Use of Word ‘Moron’
“The American Language” says:
“Moron was proposed by Dr. Henry
K. Goddard in 1910 to designate a
feeble-minded person of a mental
agp of from 8 to 12 years. It was
formally adopted by the American
association for the Study of the
Feeble-Minded in May of that year
and immediately came into wide
use.”
