JEFFERSON. GA.. MAY 15. 1941.
Men Who Can’t Read
Or Write To Be Deferred
After May 15th.
Men who cannot read or write the
English language as commonly pres
cribed for the fourth grade gram
mar student will not be drafted into
the Army after May 16, State Se
lective Service Director Sion B. Haw
kins announced.
The ruling, which was issued from
national headquarters, affects about
46,000 Georgians who signed their
registration cards last October with
an “X.” This is slightly over 10 per
cent of the total registration.
General Hawkins explained that
a great deal of the military training
instructions are written and posted
on bulletin boards for the benefit of
draftees. Unless draftees can read,
therefore, it is difficult for them to
keep up with iliterate soldiers.
The move was supplemented by
an order permitting local draft
boards to reclassify any 1-A regis
trant who does not have the capacity
to read, and placing him in 4-F de
ferred. The ruling does not affect
illiterates already inducted.
State officials pointed out that the
regulation will release many men
from military service and may, to a
certain extent, alleviate the shortage
of common labor which has been
growing over the state.
The final judge of whether or not
-a registrant is illiterate will be the
medical examiners for each local
board, General Hawkins said.
The American Press
“We have newspapers that are
gaudy and sensational,” Frank S.
Hoy, of the Lewiston, Maine, Sun
and Journal told the opening session
of the American Newspaper Pub
lishers Association. “We have
newspapers tnat are wild-eyed, hell
raising liberals. We have newspap
ers that are liberal, but sincere and
reasonable We have newspapers
that are conservative, sound, cau
tious and dignified. We have news
papers that would run the show, and
we have newspapers that would tell
only the news and let the public do
its own thinking.”
In short, said Mr. Hoy:
“Our newspapers here in America
are as different as the people who
make them and as different as the
communities which they are inten
ded to serve. That is freedom of
the press at work in America and
may the great melting pot never at
tempt to pour us all into a common
mold.”

NEW USES FOR PEANUTS
The making 1 of peanuts into flour
is attracting wide attention, not
only throughout the state, but in
other states.
Albany was the first city in
•which peanut flour was introduced
to the public, and now plans are
going forward to put this new prod
uct on the market. The bakeries in
Albany which have been offering for
sale peanut bread and rolls say there
is a constant demand for these prod
ucts.
Much interest has been 'felt by
the United States Department of
A g riculture in this peanut flour and
in the excellence of its food qunli.

Needs of Schools
Shown by Survey
Extensive Revision Is Urged
As Prime Necessity.
WASHINGTON. Today’s high-
I school graduates, facing a world of
I profound social and economic
change, find themselves poorly
equipped to meet the complex prob
lems of present-day lives, results of
a study indicate.
Competition among adults for po
sitions in industry virtually has
eliminated opportunities for appren
ticeship, and the high-school gradu
ate, trained though he be in voca
tional studies, can find no employ
ment, according to a survey com
pleted for the American youth com
mission by the American council on
education.
“Even if vocational education
were unqualifiedly successful in oth
er respects, it cannot create jobs
where they do not exist,” the report
said.
Recommending that thorough
practice in reading—the most im
portant single branch of education
—accompany vocational studies, the
report emphasizes the role of social
studies in providing an effective ed
ucation for citizenship in a democ
racy.
The committee making the study,
headed by Ben G. Graham, super
intendent of public schools in Pitts
burgh, found that the stylized na
ture of present-day courses in Eng
lish composition, mathematics, for
eign languages, history and natural
science kills their appeal for the
modern student.
It is recommended that these
courses be revised to present funda
mentals of enduring value rather
than a mass of easily forgotten de
tail.
If the high school is to fill its
place as a factor in the American
order, the report concludes, it must
expand its program of instruction.
Economy Step Is Missed
In Thinking of Ghosts
MARIPOSA, CALIF. Mariposa
county’s pioneers didn’t turn over in
their graves, but the thought that
they might prevailed upon the board
of supervisors to abandon an econ
omy move in so far as it affected
not lighting the clock in the court
house steeple all night.
The famous timepiece has been
lighted all night for nobody seems to
know how long. But when Super
visor Ray M. Sullivan came to an
electric bill of $17.20 for lighting
the clock during one month he com
mented:
“That’s a lot of money for light
ing a clock that nobody looks at
after ten o’clock. Do you think it’s
worth it?”
The board thought it was worth
it when residents hinted they had
heard vague rumblings of ghostly
retaliations if the clock was not
lighted all night.
The Brazilian Venice
Pernambuco is called the Brazil
ian Venice because of its canals,
deepened to obtain filler for low
lands. The city is the easternmost
in South America, and the white
crested surf of the Atlantic never
ceases beating upon its shores. Ir
the old part of the city the streets
are narrow and the houses tall, the
idea being to obtain the maximum
of shade.
