ALONG THE WAY
We went to Athens last Wednes
day night to the Georgia Press In
stitute. Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning is the time we
print The Herald, we could be ab
sent on our press night only because
neighbors and friends rendered us
service. Mrs. Ethel Hancock, Mrs.
F. M. Fuller, Miss Karen Fuller,
R. L. McElhannon, J. W. Phillips and
Rudolph Holloway of Winder, all
gave efficient help in our office dur
ing our absence, and Mr. Cody came
about 6 A.M. Thursday, the usual
time he carries papers to the post
office, and found them ready. We
appreciate the service given us by
friends so as to permit us to enjoy
an evening of entertainment and
recreation and fellowship. It has
been a long time since both editors
have been away from the office
when The Herald went to press.
In Athens a Press Institute is held
each year under the auspices of the
School of Journalism of the Uni
versity of Georgia. This is its 23rd
session. Luncheons and dinners are
provided for the members of the
Press each of the three days it is
in session by Georgia newspapers—
Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta Jour
nal, Columbus Enquirer, Macon
Telegraph, Savannah News and the
Augusta Chronicle. Prominent and
distinguished men or women make
addresses to the editors on different
subjects and there are 4 some dis
cussion by the editors of some ques
tions at round table discussions.
It is a pretty big show. Each year
some Georgia editor is named chair
man of the Program Committee, but
the schedule, program and arrange
ments are usually placed on John
Drewry, dean of the School of
Journalism, and he knows how to
put on a sure enough good show,
which begins each year on a Wed
nesday evening in February and
continues until Saturday at noon.
The Press Institute opene'd in one
of the buildings on the campus of
the State College of Agriculture,
where dinner was served to the
members of the press by the Uni
versity of Georgia and the Athens
Rotary Club. When we entered the
reception room Abit Nix greeted us
and other members of the Georgia
Press. Abit is one of the leaders of
International Rotary and is consid
ered the father of the Athens Club.
Not only is he a Rotarian, but is one
of the members of the faculty of
Lumpkin Law School. He is a prom
inent member of the Athens bar.
Colonel Nix is a native of Jack
son and he always manifests an in
terest in the people of his home
county. Other Rotarians and mem
bers of the University faculty busied
themselves in giving glad greetings

How To Cut ©u;
The Cut-Ups
Our school principal. Miss
Cooptr, believes in putting kids on
their honor. She told me, “It works
-better than threats—providing you
weed out the few incorrigible ones
and teach them a lesson."
*‘l made three very bad boys get
all dressed up in baby clothes,” she
said, "diapers and all. If they
wanted to behave like babies then
they should look like babies. That
cured them.*
Reminded noe of the Brewers’
Program of Self-Regulation. The
brewers and tavern keepers are
to the guests of the occasion. How
ever, we saw many Rotarians, but
only a few Georgia editors at the
banquet.
While seated in the dining room,
the new President of the University
at Athens, Dr. J. C. Rogers, left his
place at the speaners table, came
over where we were partaking of
the banquet and shook hands with
us. We deeply appreciated this con
sideration shown to us by this dis
tinguished educator whom we have
known for almost a quarter of a
century. We first met him when he
was President of Piedmont College,
at Demorest. Several times we saw
him while he was President of the
North Georgia College at Dahlonega.
He was very popular at both insti
tutions. His promotions have come
to him not through political influ
ences, but solely on his merits. He
and Chancellor Harmon W. Cald
well, we believe will have splendid
success in directing the affairs of
the University of Georgia.
Governor Herman Talmadge was
the guest speaker for the opening
of the Press Instiute. He was intro
duced by Jack Williams, editor of
Waycross Herald-Journal, chairman
of the Program Committee. Jack
was opposed to the nomination of
Herman Talmadge for Governor,
but he made a very pretty speech
in introducing the Chief Executive
of Georgia, in which he compliment
ed him for the splendid achieve-
ments he has wrought during his
administration. We notice tha,t seme
in public speeches while others in
private conversation, who did not
cast their ballots for Talmadge, are
high in praise of his administration.
It now seems that sentiment to give
Talmadge a full term as Governor
is becoming so solid that he will
probably be unopposed in the Pri
mary Election next year to succeed
himself. He is serving an unexpired
term and cannot complete his pro
gram in two years. So sentiment
reerrs to be growing all the time to
elect him in 1950 for a full term.
The Governor made a speech on Do
ing Things for Gur State, which was
enthusiastically applauded by his
hearers.
Not a person, except the editors
of this paper, is living today, who
was in the newspaper business in
Georgia when The Herald became
a member of the Georgia Press As
sociation 58 years ago. Our good
friend, Thomas W. Reed, who was
a reporter at that time is now only
an occasional contributor to the
Athens Banner-Herald. He has been
a reporter, editor, of the Athens
Banner-Herald, but long ago resign
ed from that position to become
Registrar of the University of Geor-
“on their honor.” Most of them
want to be “good boys” in their
communities. So they c6operate in
maintaining wholesome surround
ings wherever beer and ale are
sold, and make a real effort to live
up to their responsibilities.
From where I sit, there’ll always
be a few “cad boys” in every walk
of life, but they're mostly the ex
ception te the rule, and they usu
ally don’t lost long.

gia, in which position he served for
about a quarter of a century. From
this position he has retired. He was
at the Press Institute meeting and
said he was “feeling fine.” Dr. M. P-
Jarnegan, a much loved professor
of the State College of Agriculture,
said “I am coming up to Jefferson
to see you people soon.” Louie Mor
ris, editor of The Hartwell Sun, said
“Come on to Hartwell to see our
Radio Station and the big Textron
Industries.” We told him Dr. J. D.
Matheson would probably be going
over that way soon and “Mavbe we
can go over to see you.” Louie Mor
ris has done a great deal towards
the development and progress of
Hartwell and Hart County. He is a
big asset to both. He owns a news
paper, a railroad, radio station and
has a bridge named for him that
spans the Savannah River.
We attended only the one session
of the Press Institute. The Associate
Editor attended the meeting and
lunched with The Atlanta Journal
on Friday. We especially regret that
we did not have the privilege and
honor of hearing Tom Hamilton
speak. He is a son of Thomas J.
Hamilton, who edited The Augusta
Chronicle for several years. We
never had a more loyal friend than

House of Representatives with the:
grandfather of Thomas J. Hamil

County.
Mayor Bryan said last Friday,
“Burglarizing homes and places of
business in Jefferson is going to be
stopped if in our power to accom
plish this result. People must feel
safe at night when they retire and
business places must be unmolested
by burglars. Our first step has been
to keep loiterers from our streets
and hiding behind public buildings
and private property after dark.
This is the first step towards pre
venting burglary nad robbery. Too
many young men and boys who
should be at home, have been seen
on our streets at late hours. Well,
they are going to get off the streets
or we will take them off. This state
ment I want emphasized. Fathers
and mothers will please cooperate
with us, not only for the good of
this little city but for the future life
and conduct of their sons.”
Mayor Bryan was very earnest
when talking about this matter. If
he can possibly do so, the Mayor
will make homes and places of bus
iness in Jefferson safe against ma
rauders and burglars.

Fireproof Cotton Clothes
To make cotton clothes fireproof,
dip each dry article in a solution of
seven ounces of borax, three ounces
of boric acid and two quarts of hot
water which has been stirred until
the liquid is clear.
Nutritive Value of Eggs
Eggs are important in the diet as
protective food. They contain high
quality proteins and are rich in vita
min A. They also contain thiamine,
riboflavin and vitamin D and the
yolk is an excellent source of iron.
Cotton Production
Since 1921 Georgia farmers have
increased cotton production from
an average of 108 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre o 297 pounds and have
reduced cotton acreage almost two
thirds.
