LEGISLATORS ON PARADE
John Greer is making good right
along as the new Clerk of tne
House. This job is far from a sine
cure, though some people think It
is. The duties are intricate, compli
cated and difficult. A detailed rec
ord must be kept of each and every
bill and resolution Introduced In
the House, and of each bill and
resolution that comes to ths House
from the Senate. The Clerk of the
House has a staff of assistants, each
of whom mast know exactly what
It’s all about. They do their work
behind the scenes and they do not
observe union hours. Mr. Greer, hy
the way, Is a newspaper man, the
same as John W. Hammond, Secre
tary of the Senate.
Senator Paul Lindsay, of DeKalb
county, walked slowly Into the
Senate Chamber, leaning on a cane,
pretending a feebleness that was
not real. “Hope you are well, Sen
ator,” greeted a colleague. “No.”
replied Lindsay, “far from it. Mv
knees are getting weak, my htps
have a way of giving out on me.
and my brain is softening, as best
t i can „„„ describe a it All I ve got ie.t |
i
is a willing disposition ” To ail who;
know Paul Lindsay, this will
a laugh. There Is not a more virile
lawmaker on either side of the
dome, and when it comes to a
“willing disposition,” Senator Lind
say probably could qualify as the
Number One Dissenter of the House
or Senate. For him to speak of his
willing disposition is on a par with
Preston “ Arkwright's remark that j
the only thing wrong with me is
an inferiority complex.”
Pat Haralson, veteran lawyer
and politician of Biairsville, in the
heart of the Blue Ridge mountains,
is back at his post as messenger of
the Senate, smiling, debonair, lean
as a fox hound. He relates that he
called an Atlanta friend and In
vited him to dinner at a downtown
hotel. The friend accepted. “What |
would you like to drink?” inquired i
Pat. “Just name your brand and j
I'll have It here for you.” The
friend paused a moment, then
frankly said: “To tell you the truth. I
Pat, if you've got some real good
mountain dew in your possession,
I'd rather have it than anythin?
you can buy at a liquor store.” For
tunately for the friend. Pat just
happened to have a little mountain
dew.
With the backing of a majority
of the House of Representatives,
j “Dick” Russell went from the!
Speakership to the Governorship
in 1930. Six years later, Ed Rivers j
went from the Speakership to the
Governorship, with the backing of
a majority of the House. taken The by mem-j and
bers of the House, ;
large, are political leaders in their ‘
counties. If they were not. they
! wouldn't get elected to the House !
Four times out of five, they can [
elect or defeat any candidate for
Governor. On this basis, the pros
pects of Speaker Roy Harris to be j
the next Governor are very good

chairs were taken out and sent to
a furniture repair shop for a gen
eral overhauling, it was found that
several desks had Initials of mem
bers of the House cut on top of
them with a pocket knife. Where
the Initials were cut too deep to
be erased by sandpaper, It was
necessary to remove a panel from
the desk top and replace It with
mahogany stained to match the
natural soft red of the cherry. Such
vandalism by men elected to make
the laws of the State is hard to

State Park and Recreational
Association To Begin Drive
The Georgia Park and Recrea
tional Association will take forward
looking steps in the interest of
Georgia when it decides on Febru
ary 11 methods for publicizing out
standing scenic and historic areas
of the State.
The need for giving wider inform
ation about points of significance in
the state has long been
but has heretofore been carried out
without any systematic method. As
long as a month ago, the Georgia
Park and Recreational Association
decide d to set apart the second day
of the Macon meeting to meet this
need.
The Macon meeting will open or
February 10, when a general mem
bership session will be held On
February 11 the program will turn
Its attention to the problem of cer
tification of sites to be publicized
and methods of carrying out this
purpose.
Its general plan Is to issue de
scriptive booklets and to publish
maps showing best routes to the
sites described.
How urgent a need will be met by
this work is illustrated again by in

Colored Schools of

Annual Field Day
The colored schools of Newton

from two widely separated points
asking for material about scenic

came from a national travel advis

material for 1939 summer vacalion

Leaders in the association are
convinced that Georgians them
selves need to be informed about
the scenic and historic sites that
offer attractions for our own auto
mobilists as well as for travelers.
To that end a plan for getting lo
cal people informed shout an at
traction elsewhere in the state will
be promoted. That person appear-

gatherings would extoll the virtues
of a remote recreational facility
rather than the one nearest at hand.

President of the Association, is ar

can be had by persons interested.
