Officers to Return
Gallogly to Tatnall
Pl'i80n This Week
-
Georgia officers returned Rich
ard Gallogly, who escaped
Texas late last year, to the
nail prison to resume serving his
life sentence for murder. Trans
fer of the prisoner was
this week.
No new avenue to evade
to Georgia appeared available to
the prisoner after the Texas court
of Criminal Appeals refused to
grant a second review of his ap
peal from an adverse decision in
a habeas corpus case.

The policies and purposes of the Brewers and Beer
Distributors Committee of Georgia are not only in ac
cord with public sentiment—they have the support of
state and local authorities, and have been given “the
green light” by the Attorney General of Georgia.
The Georgia beer industry, employing 10,000 persons,
spending $6,000,000 annually in payrolls and $4,000,000
in taxes, is determined to eliminate undesirable condi
tions wherever found.
The great majority of the state’s retail outlets are
respectable . . . their proprietors and patrons are law
abiding. We’re for them—that’s the kind of business we
approve.
The business we don’t want is that of the few places
where abuses are permitted to endanger the good name
of beer as a moderate beverage.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
The ordinary American taxpay
er, be he farmer,
ditch-digger, or just plain Oswald
J. Blimp, probably doesn’t
ize that his money is helping to
pay the salaries of some 1,342,000
men and women who are on
Federal payroll alone.
Furthermore, he has to foot the
bills for their buildings, heat,
light, and the materials with which
they work.
But worse still, the chances are
that he doesn’t appreciate the fact
that some of them are spending
his hard-earned money to convince
him that he should pay more tax
es to employ more Federal work
ers.
Here are the facts:
The latest figures available show
the following total number of per
sons outside of those on WPA pro
jects, drawing pay from the Fed
eral government: Executive de
partments, 936,689, Congress, 3,-
681, Judiciary 1,860, Army 239
313, Navy 161,000, or a total of
1,342,543.
Naturally, people on the pay
rolls don’t like to be cut off. Hence
they resist Congressional attempts
to cut appropriations. But that is
not all. They even go so far as to
go out and spend taxpayers’ mon
ey to oppose legislation that is
pending in Congress.
For example, the Justice De
partment now is investigating the
National Labor Board to deter
mine whether and why it lobbied
against Wagner Act amendments.
The House of Representatives just
put a provision in a bill directly
forbidding the interior Depart
ment to use radio programs for
the purpose of influencing legis
lation.
In the first instance, according
to advance information, the Wag
ner Act amendments might have
deprived some Labor Board work
ers of their jobs. And in the sec
ond, if Congress could be influ
enced to extend an existing tem
porary law, Interior Department
workers W’Ould be kept on the pay
roll.
This column . already , has
mented upon the millions of dol
lars , , being spent by Federal de
S t0 convince the P ublic
that they are doing a good job so
a t eir appropriations will con
tmue without reduction. But in
their efforts in this direction, the
gm ernment press agents some
times descend to the ridiculous.
These publicity men, in theory,
are supposed to give only import
ant and helpful information to the
public. But any one day’s collec
tion of theif press releases will
disclose reams of useless inform
ation. In fact, one Washingtonian
suggested that a scrap book could
be made of “Useless Information i
from Government Press Agents.” j |
Here are some samples: I

Farm Families in Jefferson and
Johnson Counties Make Progress
A glance into the files of Thom
as W. Wilson, farm supervisor of
Jefferson and Johnson Counties,
discloses that there are 84 Farm
Security Administration clients in
Jefferson county, of which 45 are
Negroes. They were loaned a total
of $19,925 in 1939 with $3,895 due
at the close of that year. Instead,
these 84 families repaid $6,010. al
most twice the sum due, which
gives a tip on the progress of the
FSA clients there.
Interesting is the fact that no
loans were made in Jefferson
County for feed last year as farm
ers planted enough to supply all
livestock needs. Workstock of the
84 families was estimated at $22,-
500 and crops and livestock were
valued at $50,000. Each family had
home equipment worth $100 and
home produced food estimated at
$300 per family. Only six of the
families had no cow and 36 had
two or more. Every client had
chickens with an average of 25
per family. Cholera wiped out all
the hogs on two farms but they
will be replaced immediately. The
other families had an average of
ten hogs.
the families in Jefferson
County have met their FSA obli
gations in full and have money in
the bank. As a result, there has
been need for no additional loan
s o far this year. Every client co
C a erated with the AAA program
CTS c d have placed their subsidy
chec ks in the bank on their joint
account. During the past few days
more than $3,500 in retal checks
have been deposited,
Mrs. Buena F. Klinhart, home
supervisor for Jefferson and John
son counties, reports that about
one-third of the rehabilitation
families keep FSA farm records.
They are encouraged to do this
by the fact that they have farm
ownership as their goal and they
take great pride in this feature
of their work. A family interested
enough to make and keep good
records is considered good mater
ial .for home ownership by the
farm and home supervisors.
Most of the housewives sell but
ter, eggs and cream and truck
cro P s to supplement farm income
and most of them either have < or
have access to, pressure cookers
^ or cann i n S purposes. Despite a
prolonged drought last year, which

To take fish from fresh water

artificial bait, you must pro
cure a state Resident fishing li
cense, but to fish in your own
home county with stretchers, earth
worms, crickets, grasshopers, and
other worms and natural bait you
need not purchase a fishing li

limit yourself to a small area?
You can purchase a state resident
fishing license and fish anywhere
in your state with a rod and reel,
live minnows and a pole and line?

their locations can do so by sub

Fellow fishermen, this will give

Add Peanuts to Meals.
The more than 341 million,
pound peanut crop this year in
Georgia offers a bargain in food
values and a challenge to menu
makers,
Peanuts have a high food value.
They burnish vitamin B and G,
as well as protein which becomes
“complete” or efficient when com
bined with the proteins of wheat.
They have a fat content of over
40 per cent.
Although peanuts are thought of
chiefly as something to be
crunched between meals, they can
be embodied in main dishes for
lunch or dinner. Chopped peanuts
may be added to the standard
mixture for a nut loaf or for cro
quettes.
The standard mixture for a nut
loaf includes chopped or ground
nuts, chopped vegetables, a cereal
and a thick sauce for a binder.
Crisp vegetables like celery, green
pepper, or raw carrots improve
the texture of the loaf.
The mixture for croquettes is
softer and more moist than for a
loaf. Mashed potatoes, bean pulp,
or some of the cooked cereals
make a satisfactory base..
Chopped peanuts can be used in
poultry stuffing, in nut breads and
muffins, in cakes and cookies.
They can be used also in the same
way as pecans in pie filling. For
a sandwich that is crunchy, mix
coarsely ground peanuts with a
little cream for a sandwich spread,
A bulletin called “Nuts and
Ways to Use Them,” gives exact
direction for these and a number
of other nut dishes in which pea
nuts can be used. You can gel
the bulletin by writing to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, D. C.
A large part of the peanut crop
is alway made into peanut butter,
for which there are
attractive ways of serving. One
that may be a little out of the
dinary is a cream soup made with
4 tablespoonfuls of peanut butter
for each quart of milk. Another
very palatable combination is to
mato and peanut-butter soup. Al
so, for peanut-butter biscuits, use
4 tablespoonfuls of peanut butter
in place of 2 tablespoonfuls of
the fat ordinarily called for are
another pleasing variation.
