Button, button, who lost a but

that he thinks perhaps a revolu

ago while fighting the red coats.
The bronze carved button, prob
ably from an officers uniform, has
the American Eagie insignia
decked with the 13 colonial stars.
Mr Woodring found the relic in
a hollow tree near his home.

A Letter From Our Congressman
My Dear Constituents:
We have had another crowded
week, committee meetings morn
ing and evenings and House ses
sions lasting until late.
On Tuesday the House passed
by a vote of 304 to 37 the Vinson
Naval Construction Bill. This bill
authorizes a two-year naval build
ing program of 167,000 tons of
combatant ships, or approximate
ly an eleven per cent increase in
the combatant strength of the na
vy. When a ship reaches a certain
age it is termed “over aged” and
should be replaced by another
ship. We have some “over age”
ships in commission but we are
now building some battle ships
and this bill authorized construc
tions of aircraft carriers, cruisers
and submarines, 21 ships in all;
also 22 auxiliary ships, 1,011 air
planes and 4 blimps or lighter than
air aircraft. With this bill finally
enacted into law by the Senate,
and the Navy built up to the au
thorized strength, we will have
in “under aged” combatant type
ships 18 battleships, 11 aircraft
carriers, 48 cruisers, 139 destroy
ers and 73 submarines. With this
Navy we can protect' this coun
try. We are living in an age of
conquest. The language of Europe
is force. The map of Europe
changes with lightning rapidity.
Nations are searching for allies.
Our only course is to depend on
no one but ourselves.
Thursday we passed a bill cre
ating an additional judgeship for
the Northern District of Georgia.
I am sure you will be glad to
know that this bill has passed the
House and we hope that it will
pass the Senate in some form. Our
present Federal Judge, Judge Un
derwood, has more cases to dis
pose of than any other Federal
judge in this country. The average
number of cases filed in Federal
Courts per judge for the entire
country in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1939, was 183 civil cases
and 188 criminal cases, or a total
of 371 cases. In that same year
there were 419 civil actions and
496 criminal proceedings or a to
tal of 915 cases filed in Judge
Underwood’s court. So you see he
has almost three times as many
cases to dispose of as the average
judge in this country. In the in
terest of fairness and justice this
situation should be remedied.
We have had some very wel
come visitors in the office
week, including Dr. R. A.
