new Pope appealed for amity among

THE FUTILITY OF
WAR
(The following item, by Lieut.
Col. Lawrence T. Brown FA
Res., of Washington, issued by the
national headquarters of the Re
serve Officers’ Asscoiation of the
United States, is published local
ly in connection with the obser
ance of National Defense Week):
A stock expression often heard is
“War is futile”. Let us look around
for ourselves, and, in the light of the
world as it is today, analyze that
statement.
The nations of the world today very
clearly fall into three groups: 1- the
stalwart nations which are willing
and able to maintain their own integ
rity; 2-the weak nations whose weak
ness of will or ability attracts the in
terest of the nations of the third
group; 3- the predatory nations which
have devoured, are devouring or wish
to devour some weak nation. By no
stretch of the imagination could our
United States be called a predatory
nation; we hope that it Will never
be a weak nation; we hope that it
will always be stalwart—with the will
and the ability to maintain its own in
tegrity.
A stalwart nation which had just
driven out from its borders a preda
tory nation would never agree that
war is futile. A predatory nation
which had just acquired for itself all
or parts of some weak nation would
never agree that war is futile.
As long as our United States re
mains the most enviable of nations we
cannot afford to ignore the covetous
ness of the predatry nations, We
cannot expect to remain weak and
rich. We cannot expect to remain
weak and rich in liberty; weak and
riah in natural resources; weak and
rich in ingenuity; weak and rich in
gold boullion. We must either thrw
away those riches which whet the ap
petites of the predatory nations or
else we must stand ready to main
tain our integrity.
What should we have in the way of
a national defense? First: all things
in this world are relative; no army
is large except other armies are
smaller; no army is small except other
armies are larger. Our United States,
standing eighteenth amongst the na
tions of the world, cannot be said to
have too large an army. Second: the
material wealth of the country is a
factor. If' this; country were a barren
waste we possibly Would not need any
national defense; being rich in re
sources and gold boullion, we need a
strong national defense, Third: the
stamina and morale of our people are
factors. If our people do not consid
er themselves and their country wor
thy of a defense, then we do not de
serve to have any national defense
and should thereby invite some preda
tory nation to devour us. If, on the
other hand, our people have self res
pect, love their indenendence and love
their democratic form of government,
then we should have an Army and
Navy capable of defending those vir
tues and capable of maintaining our
own integrity.
Marriage Custom From Zulus.
South Africa’s strangest marriage
custom for Englishmen dwelling there
is, taken from the Zulus. The custom
is that of presenting the bride’s fath
er with a bride payment or “lobola.”
Since the “lobola” consists of cattle
among the Zulu people, residents of
South Africa, who practice the custom
present the father with tiny replicas
of cattle, dogs and other animals and
these are displayed in the bride’s old
home.

Power Co. Continuing
Unusual Ad Program;
Close Attention Asked
The Georgia PoWer and Light Com
pany is continuing, this month, its un
usual advertising program featuring
discussions of Georgia’s greatest i’e
sources and most pressing problems.
The use of newspaper advertising
space for this purpose is evidence of
the local power company’s concern
over the future of South Georgia. Only
within fairly recent times have large
industrial concerns taken a truly act
ive interest in such resources as our
forests and such problems as the
farms. The better forestry policies
adopted by southern pulp manufac
turers at a convention in Mew Or
leans exemplifies the new attitude of
industrialists toward the resources of
this section.
E. J. Willis, district manager of the
power company, described his firm’s
activity as a “natural” interest in the
elements which go to form the income
and prosperity of the area served. Mr.
Willis remarked: “We all want steady
growth hete, not a crazy boom. We
want to see nagging problems remov
ed and better methods substituted.
These are matters Which should con
cern every citizen and business con
cern of this section. Only as South
Georgia develops, can we who live here
prosper.”
From an eight months’ discussion of
forestry, the Georgia Power and Light
Company is currently turning its at
tention to the many-sided farm prob
lem. Attention is called to the Geor
gia Citizens Fact Finding Commit
tee’s observations which place the av
erage per capita farm income of Geor
gians as 41st among all the states. The
Georgia Bankers Association endorses
hog raising as a sound means to jack
up this average farm income into a
more profitable bracket. Agricultur
ists maintain that South Georgia with
its many green grazing crops, its
available acreage and its twelve
months growing season, is ideally sit
uated for extensive development.
'The advertising program, to be con
ducted by the Georgia Power and
Light Company, will discuss those im
portant facts which combine to make
a profitable hogging enterprise. In
cluded in the advertising series will be
discussions of better breeding as the
greatest need of South Georgia’s hog
enterprise, the raising of more sat
isfactory s'wine feed crops, the need
for greater sanitation both on the
hog lot and in the pen. Profitable
slaughtering and marketing methods
will be described. The information to
be published in the advertisements
has been obtained through the co-op
eration of Federal and state bureaus
and should be of great value to hog
raisers in South Georgia.
Local officials of the Georgia Pow
er and Light Company also announced
that awards will soon be made to some
of the outstanding farm boys of this

TTOG-RAISING is one answer to the present
dilemma facing Georgia farmers. Troubled
by crop-control price fluctuation on one hand
and over-production of certain standard crops on
the other, the farmer needs not only increased
income but steadier income.
After a comprehensive, state-wide survey of
swine production, the Georgia State College of
Agriculture finds that, “Taking it as a whole,
our climatic conditions are favorable for twelve
months’ pasturage.” Inexpensive, proper feed
crops for hog-raising can be easily raised from
Georgia soils. Large tracts of unnused farm land
and acres of cut over woodlands can be profit
ably adapted to hog-raising. The Federal Divi
sion of Veterinary Medicine has found that cer
tain natural conditions in this section help con
trol parasitic swine disease.
Conditions are favorable to increased Swine
production throughout South Georgia. In the
future, we may well find this occupation our
most profitable farm operation.
