IN MY OPINION
Bv PAT GILLEN
The foresig'ht of Georgia’s Gover
nor in facing the criticism heaped
upon his administration by the pas
sage of the bus and truck mainten
ance tag tax to provide funds for
the post roads program is no longer
discounted.
The fact that Governor Rivers did
not follow the advice of many of his
political friends when he insisted upon
the passage of the post roads ppo
gram and some means of financing
the program, is no longer a
It is now self-evident that the public
agrees with his views, The
of his urging the passage of the
maintenance tag tax for the support
of the post road program was due
chiefly to the fact that the extent
and benefits of the program were not
fully appreciated. Georgia is at last
taking the farmers out of the mud.
POST ROADS INFORMATION
FOR GRADY COUNTY: Total Post
Roads Mileage 349.8. Percent of state
mileage .81.
First preference road in Grady |
county: Gradyville Road from Cairo]
to Centennial, Seven (7) miles.
The post roads division of the State
Highway Department has a program
which includes 42,798.90 miles of
roads which are actually used by the
farmer, and which are not a part of
the State Aid System. They are roads
that the farmer must travel when he
hauls his cotton, tobacco, butter, eggs,
and poultry to to'wn. They the 1
are
roads which the Doctor must travel
when he answers a hurry call to some
farm house to assist the 1 stork. They
are the roads which are so import
ant to the economic life of every rur¬
al community. They are the muddy
strips of roads that lead off the main
highway, passed unnoticed as we go
breezing along, but all important to
the farmer over the hill several miles,
who has to deliver his products to
the market on the trunk highways.
Many of them are impassable for two
or three months of each year, and the
people who live along them just do
the best they can to reach some paved
highway, during these months. They
call them rural post roads because
the mail-man travels them in his
daily rounds, but their service to the
community goes far beyond the ser
vice to the mail-man. It effects the
daily life of every rural settlement in
Georgia.
Recognizing this from actual
perience, the Governor pledged the
people of these rural sections that he
would exert every effort to assist the
farmer who lived over the hill and
down tjiese muddy roads to get a
better system of farm-to-market
roads. That pledge is being fulfilled,
The Legislature, at its last session,
passed the laws necessary setting up .
the Post Roads Division. They passed
a bus and truck maintenance tag tax
act law to provide the funds for the
post roads program. They

•pHE Red Cress annual roll call
A poster with its appeal for members
is the work of Walter W. Seaton,
noted New York and California a
ist. Seaton’s portraits of radio and
movie stars, his murals and pesters
have won him fame throughout the
nation. The current poster is the sec
with the Federal government to match
the post roads fund dollar for dollar.
Warren Neel, one of the most
competent highway engineers of the
state, was named head of the Divi
sion.
Today there are nine survey crews,
composed of competent young engin
cers, working in many counties of
Georgia getting the necessary date
for the gigantic program of getting
the farmer out of the mud.
Within 60 days of survey the Post
Roads Division is confident that con
tracts will have been let and con
struction begun. Nearly every coun¬
ty of the 159 has provided the nsces
sary information to begin work. Sur
veys have been authorized in 74 coun¬
ties. 31 of those have already com
pleted and 19 more are in the pro
cess of completion. It is expected
that the nine survey crews will lay
out 100 roads this fiscal year.
The County Commissioners of the
several counties have submitted to the

ond h e.s painted for the Red Cross,
thus ug a long list of distin
gir< lists who since the World
V, a:- .. a; s have illustrated the spirit
of th Red Cross in the call for mem
berships. Fed Cross roll call begins
Armistice Day and ends Thanksgiving
Day.
Post Roads Division their first five
preferences as to which road in their
respective counties shall be reached
in the order of their relative impor¬
tance, in Which they are submitted.
As fast as possible the survey crews
will reach every county. After the
Post Roads Division takes them over
then. There is not a county or rural
section within the state that will not
be effected by this program to take
the farmer out of the mud.
Of course, it coula not be expect¬
ed that the Post Roads Division will
be able to reach all of the 42,798.90
miles of post roads within one, two
or three years. The program rep¬
resents a major advancement in the
attainment of economic progress and
comforts to the rural sections of our
state. Our trunk lines are necessary,
but our rural roads are essential to
the happiness and prosperity of an
agricultural Georgia. It is impos
sible to estimate the value of these
rural post roads to every section,
town, and city of Georgia. It is suf¬
ficient to say that the Rural Post
Roads program is certainly a major
advancement Which the rural section
of Georgia have long been promised,
but have hteretofore been denied.

MIDDLE LIFE
Strength is extra-important for
I women going through the change of
j life. Then the body needs the very
best nourishment to fortify it against
the changes that are taking place.
In such cases, Cardui has proved
helpful to many women. It in¬
creases the appetite and aids diges¬
tion, favoring more complete trans¬
formation of food into living tissue,
resulting in improved nutrition and
building up and strengthening of
the whole system.
