Cravey Wants
New Game And
Fish Laws
Wildlife Director Zack D. Cravey
said he strongly advocates a revision
of many of Georgia’s fish and game
laws and will work toward that end
during the next General Assembly.
High on his list of favored legisla
tion is slicing the quail season from
almost 100 to about 50 days. He said
the fishing laws should-be tightened
to the extent of making it illegal to
purchase or own a net, seine, basket
or other illegal devices for taking
fish. As it is now, the violatoi’ must
be caught in the act of using the con
traption.
Likewise, the Director said the
state needs additional legislation
making it prima facie evidence of
fire hunting deer to be found at night
on the range with flashlight and gun.
Rangers now must find the violatotrs
in the act of shooting deer by flash
light.
The Director said there is “no limit
to which Georgia can’t go if we can
just get the necessary co-oueration.”
However, he said he considers the pro
gram so “vast and vital” that sports
men, farmers and others directly or
indirectly interested and concerned
should give “the program their su
port."
He is in favor also, he said, of tight
ening Georgia’s forest fire control
laws.
“Because of the close relation be
tween wildlife and forestry, it is nec
essary that we have stricter laws con
cealing setting woods afire”, he said.
“When forests are destroyed, the ha
bit of bird and game is ruined and
even the water is rendered unfit for
fish. Moreover, fires cause erosion and
when the land is ruined, evepy irtmg is
lost.”
4-H GARDEN WORK
Last year Georgia 4-H Club mem
bers completed more than 30,000 gar
den projects, growing over 11,000
acres valued at three-quarter million
dollars. The Agricultural Extension
Service also says that approximately
5,000 4-H members completed orchard
projects, growing tree fruits, bush
fruits, and grapes valuded at more
than SIOO,OOO.
Two cows are recommended to sup
ply a constant supply of dairy pro
ducts to the farm family.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA
President Roosevelt sent to Con
gress a seven-point program of war
time economic controls including
heavy taxation, general rationing of
all scarce commodities and stabilita
tion of wages. He proposed that the
net income of any individual be limit
ed to $25,000 a year, after payment of
taxes. The President described the
program as one of “equality of privi
lege” for all Americans in bearing the
burdens of total war.
Mr. Roosevelt said two points of
the program require legislation, im
posing heavy taxatoin to keep profits
at a low level and stablizing farm
prices. The other five points proposed
by the President, adequately covered
by existing legislation, call for gen
eral price ceilings on commodities and
rents, wage stablization at present
levels, increased savings through pur
chase of war bonds, rationing of all
essential commodities of which there
are scarcities, and further curtailment
of credit and installment buying.
Production and Conservation
The President told his press con
ference the War Production program,
launched in January, is working out !
extremely well. He said the announc-|
ed goals might even be expanded. The j
steel plate shortage has retarded the
shipbuilding program, he said, but on
the whole there is no very great
slowdown in ship production.
The WPB ordered he cotton textile
industry to convert specified precen
tages of its looms to war production
within 60 days, in order to' increase
output of materials for sand bags,
camouflage cloth, agricultural bags,
etc. The Board said the automobile in
dustry during February produced al
most 27 percent as much war material
as it did during all of 1941. A total of
600 plants in 32 states reported for
mation of voluntary labor-manage
ment committees.
Rationing
The Office of Price Administration
issued instructions for the sugar ra
tioning program, calling for registra
tion of industrial and institutional us
ers at High Schools April 28-29, and
of comsumers at Elementary schools
May 4 through May 7. Retail sugar
sales banded throughout the nation for
a week, will be resumed May 5 when
rationing goes into effect. Consumers
may purchase one pound of sugar with
each of the first four stamps in the
war rationing books. These stamps
cover approximately two-week periods
from May 5 to June 27.
Registration cards will be held in
Elementary Schools in 17 Atlantic
Coastal states and the District of Col
umbia May 12,13 and 14. Gasoline ra
tioning will go into effect in these
states May 15, OPA said. The amount
of the ration will be determined by
the petroleum supply situation at the
time of registration.
War Bonds and Finances
The Treasury reported its drive for
war bond purchases with at least 10
percent of the total national income j
will begin May 1. The drive will have
quotas of S6OO million for May, SBOO
million for June, .and $1 billion for
July, It will be conducted through
‘ State and County campaigns, the pay
! roll savings plan and volunteer minute
! men. Bureau of the Budget Director
Smith announced increases in propos
ed war expenditures for fiscal 1943
from $56 billion to S7O billion. He es
timated war expenditures would reach
a rate of $5 billion a month by Sep
tember.
The War Front
The President told his press con
ference he had been advised officially
• of the interment of an American plane
and its crew in Siberian Russia —ap- i
parently one of the planes which re- i
ported raided Japanese cities. U, S.
troops arrived on New Caledonia to i
aid the Free French in the island de
fense. General MacArthur’s headquar
ters in Australia reported another
raid by American and Australian
bombers on Japanese-held Rabaul. !
