So if you hRVe not Produced pea

the past three years you could not

a
$24.00 per ton. If you wanted to
plant peanuts and avoid the penal
ty the only way you could do so
W'ould be to not plant all your cot
ton acreage allotment then seed the
remainder of the cotton acres to
peanuts. As an example, if you had
10 acres of cotton to plant and only
planted 8 acres then you could plant
2 acres of peanuts without penalty.
Farms showing a peanut history
on our records will be allotted a
peanut acreage and those farms will i
be notified of the acreage permit- ;
ted.
By planting time we hope to be
able to advise each operator in the j
county of the permitted cotton acre- 5
age, general depleting acreage, pea
nut acreage and any other special
acreages set up in this county,
You know there Ls a subsidy pay
m ent in 1939 and that payment will
not be made to a farm that over
plants the permitted acreage. To
da te we do not know how much the
1939 subsidy payment will be but
1 we have been advised that it will
be made on the 1939 permitted acre
age.

At a meeting held in Atlanta last
week, the question was asked of the
superintendents, which were pres
ent from every county, if they could
remain °P en if state aid was not
given immediately. Only four senoo
officials announced that they could
remain open. Cobb county's school
officials advised that they could not
remain open longer and that the re
duction of the state as well as re
ceiving only one month's pay from
the county put them far behind.
Mr. Ficquett said the only solu
tion he saw was immediate action
by the General Assembly now in
session and added that something
should be done for the children of
the state now.
Superintendent C. E. Hawkins, of
the Covington School Sy. tem, added

Georgia by stating that Coving

the full nine months and their sit

West and so they are planning cere

contributions they are making to
the civic life of their own school and
community groups, Scouting is
increasingly becoming a factor in
the life of public and parochial
schools throughout the nation and
leading educators in all sections are
co-operating to that end. Dr. Dan
Kelly, Superintendent of Schools in
Binghampton, N. Y., is chairman of
the special national committee on
“Scouting in the Schools.”
Friday, February 10 will be Scout
Brotherhood Day, when every Scout
Troop meeting that night has been
urged to have Scout guests from
one or more other Troops especially
for the purpose of demonstrating
the Scouting truth that a Scout is
a brother to every other Scout, re
gardless of race, creed or class.
Hosts and guests alike will vie with
each other in creating conditions
designed to breed permanent friend
ships as a living manifestation of
the American way of living together
in harmony and co-operation.
On Saturday, February 11, Troops
and Senior Scout groups, including
Sea Scout Ships, will carry out use
ful projects illustrating the well
established fact that “A Scout Is
Helpful.’’ These events will mark
Scout Service Day, on which Scouts
will be alert to discover and execute
service enterprises of value to their
own communities or to dramatize,
in store windows or on prominent
street corners, the sort of services
that mark their pledge to “Do a
Good Turn Daily” as a part of
their Scout promise.
Scout Church Day, Sunday, Feb
ruary 12, or, in cases of Scouts of
the Jewish faith, the previous Fri
day or Saturday, will offer each
Scout and Scouter an opportunity
to fulfill his solemn obligation to
the twelfth part of the Scout law
— “A Scout is Reverent—he is faith
ful in his religious duties and re
spects the convictions of others In
matters of custom and religion.”
More than fifty per cent of all
Troops, Cub Packs and Sea Scouts
are sponsored by churches, religious
b <dies and societies and Scouting
recognizes and actually supports the

Col. Richard P. Stretton, Chief of

to the students and faculty of Em

is the finest of all the arts, one
that cannot be attained without
the development of true character.
Robinson at
Avondale Show
Edgard G. Robinson heads the
cast of “The Last Gangster” the
feature attraction for Thursday and
Friday. A smashing climax to all
gangster pictures, revealing the end
of mobs and mobsters when the
government steps in and puts them
where they belong, in prison. This
is a thrilling action picture that
possesses a real educational value.
The double feature program for
Saturday consists of a Gene Autry
western, “Western Jamboree,” and
“Night Hawk” with Bob Livingston
and June Travis.
“Love Finds Andy Hardy” with
Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland and
all the Hardy family are back in
a laughable, lovable episode of real
human family life. This picture

Tuesday and Wednesday.
Be sure to visit the Avondale
when in Atlanta. You will always
find a good picture for your enter
tainment.

More Revenue or
Closed Schools?
Asks Gov. Rivers
Atlanta, Ga.—Urging a “general
state tax” for support of the
schools, Gov. E. D. Rivers declared
in the second of his series of mes
sages to the legislature that “a vots
against this general state tax ts, In
effect, a vote for .he local school
board to levy additional tax, or it
is a vote to close the schools.” He
did not specify what type of “gen
eral state tax* he advocates, but
many believe he will do so in hi*
next message.
“The question is simple,” said
the governor in his remarks on edu
cation. “Shall we raise nine mil
lion dollars and send it back to
your boards of education to run
your schools, or shall we force them
to levy additional ad valorem taves
on your real estate at home to raise
it, or shall your schools be closed?
“Personally, I prefer a general
state tax of some sort to raise this
1. oney, rather than forcing the ad
ditional ad valorem levy or forcing
i the closing of the schools.
“We should have a nine-month
school term, paid for by the state.
We should have a more adequate
teachers’ salary schedule, paid for
by the state, if we were able to do
it.”
He said that Georgia's highest
paid teachers receive less than half
the average pay of teachers
throughout the nation and declared
that “we are well within our tax
paying ability when we raise the
money to pay for a seven-month
school term at the present rate of
teachers' pay.”
