THURSDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1048 THE JACKSON HERALD $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE PUBLISHED WEEKLY Entered at The Jefferson Post Office As Second-Class Mail Matter AEOiXC THE WAY Myer Goldberg, former repre sentative from Coweta County, says that “H L. Wingate, president of Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, is Georgia’s greatest enemy to labor.” Wingate needs no defense from us, as he is well qualified, to take care of himself, but we do not believe that he is an enemy of labor. He opposes labor’s attitude on some matters, but it does not mean he is an enemy. Labor favors higher wages for employees and workers, but it also advocates lower prices for articles that are consumed —the things the farmers produce. This is not only inconsistent, but unfair. This position of labor is vigor ously opposed by Wingate. Farm ers’ wages are fixed by the price of things they grow on the farm. Lower prices of products of farm and field mean less wages for tillers of the soil. President Wingate favors increase in prices of things produ ced from the land to harmonize with greater wages and salaries for labor and others. Mr. Wingate has not hesitated to criticise the position of labor on the above matter. President Wingate is not an en emy of labor, but labor is unfriend ly to farm prices and as he is the farmers’ leader and friend, he is therefore forced to oppose labor’s position and espouse the farmer’s cause. Goldberg says, “You’ve got to eliminate his influence with the farmers of Georgia.” As long as President Wingate is the friend and advocate of the farmers and is loyal to their cause he will not be eliminated, but will continue to be their honored and trusted leader. President Wingate opposed the Hope-Aiken Farm Bill passed by last Congress and goes into effect in 1950, a measure of little benefit to agriculture. On the other hand, we understand that with Senator Rus- sell and George, President Truman and Vice President Barkley, Win gate favors keeping at least for an other year the present farm law, which guarantees to cotton, wheat and corn growers 90 per cent parity price. This law has been of great benefit to farmers in maintaining higher prices of the above named farm products. The United States Senate last Wednesday passed what is known as the Anderson Farm Bill, which would provide flexible price sup ports under the nation’s agriculture. Under the bill support prices would vary between 75 and 90 per cent of parity, depending on the supply. The bill has not yet been carefully analyzed by farm leaders so as to determine just what its effect may be on farm prices. Vice President Barkley voted for the present law as against the Anderson Bill. The Senate bill now goes to the House for concurrence or rejection.

Editor JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA. If the House concurs, the Anderson Bill will be the law. If it refuses to agree with the Senate a conference committee will be appointed who will undertake to adjust differences between the House and the Senate. The way we see the situation the legislation now pending, the An derson Bill, is better than the Hope- Aiken Bill passed by the last Con gress. While the present 90 per cent parity law is better than the An derson proposition. However, if bumper cotton crops are produced it will be impossible to maintain the present prices of the fleecy staple. Soon the world will have a big surplus. To prevent this the cotton acreage should be considerably reduced next year. The question of reduction in acre age will probably be submitted to cotton growers and not less than 20 to 25 per cent less acreage in cotton will possibly be voted. Already the government has invested in cotton about $600,000,000. The cotton acre age should be reduced. Turnips and okra in our garden; in our yard brown leaves on the majestic hickory tree where the squirrel in sportive glee jumps from limb to limb, where feathered song sters display their plumage and warble sweet carols; the maples with their yellow leaves in the yards of Sumner and Miss Frances Smith and Mrs. Mattie B. Roberts: the beautiful Althea in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Wilhite; trucks and wagons carrying cotton to the gin; the cool and invigorating air early in the mornings, all show that summer is ended and fall is here. It is just a little more than two months until another hallowed Christmas Day will roll around. There is much work to be done between now and the eventful day. In the discharge of his duties as Game Warden Byrd Martin met with an old friend last week who still remains a bachelor. For several years this friend has courted a lady, visiting her and carrying her places. Byrd Said, “Why don’t you marry that fine lady? She is bright, good looking and would make you a noble companion.” The answer came in stantly, “Why, if I married her where would I go at night, holidays and Sundays? I would be stuck right at home.” The Gainesville Times says there is anew kind of bootlegger in Gainesville: Nine “bootleg” hair stylists and barbers Monday had warnings from the State of Georgia to cease operating home shops for the general public. The violators of the state’s hairdressers and ex aminers’ code also received a year’s probation on charges of operating without a license and disregarding sanitation rulings. The Jackson Herald, Jefferson, Geoi The Signs Are Multiplying (Atlanta Constitution) The 30 per cent increase in em ployees in manufacturing industries in the Southeast since before the war, reported by the Department of Commerce, is an encouraging indi cation of the region’s progress. Though not quite up to the nat ional average of 32 per cent, the Southeast is doing a great deal bet ter than some other sections—New England, for instance. Great expan sion in the Southwest and on the Pacific Coast brings the national av erage up sharply. The report shows there now are 249,000 Georgians employed in man ufacturing industries as against on ly 193,000 in 1939, a gain of 29 per cent. Georgia was outstripped by increases in Tennessee of 39 per cent for the 10-year period, Ala bama 46 per cent, South Carolina 33 per cent and Mississippi 33 per cent. North Carolina, the South’s most highly industrialized State, showed an increase of only 18 per cent. Georgia and the region are mak ing considerable strides in livestock raising. Farms are being mechan ized—the South leads the nation in the percentage increase of tractors.

It all means the South gradually is coming into sight of its goal— a balanced agricultural and indus trial economy. We’ve a long way to go yet, but the signs that we’re on our way are multiplying. BUFORD DAM WILL EXERT VAST POSSIBILITIES When the huge projected $42,000,- 000 Buford Dam and reservoir is completed, probably five years from now, it not only will exert a tre mendous influence in the economy of that section of Georgia, but will open up vast recreational possibili ties. Within less than 50 miles of At lanta it will create a lake extend ing for 47 miles up the Chattahoo chee River with a width ranging up to five miles at its widest point. The huge lake will have a shore line of 600 miles around the reservoir which will range in size from 34,000 acres or 53 square miles up to 39,- 800 acres or 62 square miles. Obviously such a lake in the Blue Ridge foothills will offer un limited possibilities for boating, fishing and camping. Combined with the Allatoona res ervoir on the Etowah River be tween Atlanta and Cartersville, it , should make the North Georgia tri angle between Atlanta, Gainesville and Cartersville a mecca for sports men. In addition to the reservoir aiea itself, the Federal Government will buy a strip of land around the en tire shore line, and plans call for this land to be leased to private in dividuals for cabin sites, fishing camp sites and day-use areas, and parts of it. to be leased to the State and Counties for development of parks. Working Parts of Plumbing Must Render Long Service Faucets, valves, drains, and traps are the “working parts” of plumbing fixtures and it is impor tant that they be of good quality. All brass plumbing fittings are in plentiful supply and thus the prospective builder or modernizer is free to select equipment that will give many years of trouble free service . While not as glamorous as the plumbing fixtures, traps are es sential for the satisfactory and san itary operation of plumbing fix tures. It is the function of the trap under the lavatory, bathtub, sink, or other plumbing fixture to pro vide a water seal to prevent the entry of sewer gas into the home. It is because of this important function that the trap must be made of non-corrosive material. Despite wartime developments in metallurgy, manufacturers have found no material that is superior to chromium plated brass for all uses where an attractive exterior and a corrosion-resistant material is required. Water closets or toilets have a brass elbow between the tank and bowl. When this turns green, it is a sign of corrosion. The prudent owner will have the elbow replaced at the first sign of corrosion in order to prevent the possibility of a leak in the future, possibly at some inconvenient or particularly dangerous time, as for instance, when members of the family are away. 4-F’s Regain Health Nearly all of a group of 303 men reclassified in 1A in 1943 after originally having been rejected for military service because of heart and blood vessel defects were in good health in 1947, a study made by special cardiovascular boards in five major cities shows. The study was made under contract to the army research and develop ment board, office of the surgeon general. Reports of the re-exami nation of men disqualified by local boads and induction stations be cause of a diagnosis of cardiovas cular defects were made public in 1943. The re examination was made by special medical advisory boards, consisting of cardiovascu lar experts in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, in cooperation with the state and city directors of Selective Service.
