- BITS OF
Southern
Sunshine
By Mrs. Henry Odum
I
We. the American people to
day sre praying, hoping and
talking PEACE! We as a Na
tion of peace loving people
love our country, we love our
American Inherited land of
freedom, we love it so much
that we will pour out our
last drop of blood, if necess
ary. to defend it from a I tact
or invasion by a foreign foe.
but we are bitterly against
the idea rf sending our sons
by free enlistment or con
script into foreign lands to
die in these lands of man
naa-de slaughter pens to set
tle the quarrels of other na
tions !
Our sons are sons of brave
fore-fathers, they are not a
fraid to fight, but they
should be given the chance
to say for what they are to
fight and in these quarrels a
broad we are not asked IF it
suits US to declare war! No.
then why should our sons and
fathers be the buffers in their
games of war? If the all
prevading question, so tragic
in its nature, so interwoven
with life and death, involves
the very existance as well
as the walfrae of millions of
our people, then let these -
people have the say whether
they go into foreign countries -
or notl
Let us sacrifice for defen
sive powers, let us provide
for the protection of Our
America, there must be no
hesitation for such matters
not in this -crazy world of to
day, but in the matter of
our people going crazy-—
let each Individual speak for
himself, we do not want any
part in the war over there—
but IF our Country should
become TOO attractive for
Mr. Hitler-- then be ready
to give him what he has given
other Nations—H--! I know
every mother will join me in
seying-—
He IS MINE
He is my son, I gladly
; bore him.
j But not for frenzied,
1 maddening War.
j His inheritance is man
hood
j Not for bomb and gas to
mar!
I wandered down into
death's valley And
found this man-child, he
mine. Proudly clasped
him to my bosom A gift
from God, so dear, so
dear, so fine!
And you dare tell me
of duty; And the glory
of the brave. Boasting of
a land of freedom And
the lives my son may
saved! After years of
prayer and guidance.
And you prate to me of
of valor When I know
that “war is hell".
A hell of screaming
bombs and sharpnell.
Trenches with manhood
dying slow, Dying with
their cries unheeded;
This you ask me be
stow! I too long as ton
gue shall find release.

This little fragment, torn at random from one of our investi
gators’ daily reports, may be just a scrap of paper—but to the
brewing industry it’s mighty important, as it should be to the
citizens of Georgia.
It simply means that the program of the Brewers and Beer
Distributors Committee of Georgia is accomplishing its objec
tive_“cleaning up or closing up" those few retail beer outlet!
that operate in a manner inimical to public welfare and the
j future of an important Georgia industry.
Sixty-five retail outlets, out of 157 warned by our Commit
tee, have eliminated the illegal and unwholesome conditions
that made them community nuisances. We’re for these and other
law-abiding retailers one hundred per cent.
Thirty-three retailers did not see fit to regard our “clean
up or close up" program seriously. Their licenses have been
revoked.
