Tomorrow's
Sun
By J. C. Wilson
From away out in Minnesota
there has come to the writer’s at
tention one of the finest state
ments ever written of what peo
ple expect of their weekly news
papers. It is an editorial in the
Advance Press, of Springfield, in
that State, and is herewith passed
on and highly recommended for
its truth and constructive value:
What do you expect from your
newspaper? Well, you expect more
from your newspaper than you
do from any other person or in
stitution to which you pay the
sum of $1.50 a year. You expect
your newspaper to give you all the
news for 52 weeks. That’s why you
pay the $1.50 for it, but,
You expect your newspaper to
take the lead in advocating chang
es for the betterment of the com
munity. You expect your news
paper to expose graft in public
affairs, to forestall it by publish
ing itemized accounts of all pub-
1 ! " moneys spent.
You expect your newspaper to
maintain a high standard of mor
ality, supporting things that are
right and condemning tilings that
are wrong.
You expect your newspaper to
maintain a high standard of en
terprise. devoting column after
column to propaganda, suupport
ing the band, the baseball team,
community celebrations, Boy
Scouts, high schools, athletics,
school programs, home talent
plays and dozens of such causes
and events.
You expect your newspaper to
boost for good roads and protect
your community's road improve
ments.
You expect your newspaper to
build up confidence in your home
financial institutions and protect
home investors from making un
wise investments of surplus funds,
warning against fake salesmen and
other financial pirates. You expect
your newspaper to combat the
peddling nuisance.
You expect your newspaper to
establish friendly contact with the
rural readers so as to induce them
to make your town their own.
You expect your newspaper to
give notice of all public meetings,
public observances, conventions,
etc. You expect your newspaper
to urge support of poor relief ben
efits, library drives, Red Cross
drives, Legion and Auxiliary
drives, poppy sales, forget-me
not sales, have-a-heart drives, etc.
You expect your newspaper to
publish church notices, church
programs, firm bureau informa
tion, demonstration unit news,
market news, weather news, club
news, bring you the market re
ports, and cover all the doings of
the many semi-public organiza
tions. You expect your newspaper
to support every meritous organi
zation effort for the city’s good.
And you expect all this for $1.50
a year.
No, it can’t be done for that. The
money you. as a subscriber, pay for
this paper covers less than one
fourth the cost of publishing the
paper. The other three-fourths
must be paid by advertisers. Since
the advertisers pay a large share
of the expense of publishing your
newspaper, don’t you think you
owe them the duty to patronize
them whenever they offer you
equal or better values than non
advertisers?
And you, Mr. Advertiser, don’t
you think that in view of the many
services the newspaper performs,
for which tire newspaper derives
no compensation, but which mean
more business and profits to you.
the newspaper deserves your ad
vertising and printing business?
Make your community newspaper
your advertising and printing med
ium and you help build up the
community. .Send your advertising
dollar away from home and you
do just what you wouldn’t want
others to do to whom you look
for your business. It is just as
important that the advertising dol
lar remains in the community as
it is for the grocery dollar and
the clothing dollar and the rest
of the community dollars that
make your town prosperous to re
main at home.
NEGRO 4-H ACTIVITIES
Negro 4-H club girls in Bibb
county have canned approximate
ly 450 quari of fruits, 515 quarts
of preserves, 119 quarts of fruit
juices, 66 quarts of pickles, and
90 glasses of jelly. One of the club
girls, Dorothy Lamar, who is 11
years old, canned 37 quarts of
fruits and vegetables. In another
phase of work, seven 4-H clubs
have been organized during Oc
tober in Bibb county schools. The
boys will take for their projects,
corn, pigs, beef calves, and wild
life conservation. Every club boy
is expected to build at least one
bird house this winter, in addition
to studying and mounting speci
mens of local trees and shrubs.
Theater was filled, it was a grand
sight for all its pathos and for all
its t, agedy. Because there was the
grandeur there of the human spirit
which can take what comes and
goes on trying.
“There was the knowledge that
here was a battle ground where
men sought those measures and
operations which would correct
some of the mysterious disease
which a man conquered to become
President of the United States and
one of the world’s great dynamic
figures.
“Here was the inspiration for
the annual birthday dances which
raised money to cany on the
search for the germ, the research
in treatment and operation. It did
something to the heart and make
it beat faster. It did something to
the spine and made it tingle. Here
was a real world showing of hu
man courage, of humanity, of sci
| ence and of gentleness.
. . And it is no effort at play
on words but honest truth to say
that “The Thief of Bagdad” and
its premiere stole the hearts of
all who saw it tonight. It is done
but I can still hear exclamations
of surprise and awe; and the hap
py chattering when it was done,
and there in their very midst was
‘The Thief of Bagdad’ himself and
the lovely princess. . .”
Plan Reforestation
Of Ga. Sand Ridges
A solution to the problem of
reforestation on scrub oak sand
hill ridges of Georgia has been un
dertaken by Mr. J. P. Gunnells,
teacher of vocational agriculture
at Shellman, Georgia ,and the
State Division of Forestry, states
H. F. Patat, Technical Assistant
to T. P. Hursey, District Forester
of Albany, Georgia.
“Competing stands of scrub oak
many cases and the absence of
a sufficient number of seed trees
| together with ‘he dry condition of
the soil, has made the reforesta
tion of sand ridges a problem
worth study. The removal of scrub
oak before planting has naturally
proven expensive and cannot be
undertaken on a large scale,” says
Mr. Patat.
Early in January, 1940, an ex
perimental planting was made at
Shellman, Georgia, by the Division
of Forestry and the Department
of Vocational Education to deter
mine the best species and their
survival under a heavy growth of
scrub oak. Plantings were made
of both slash and longleaf pines.
Recent examinations, it is stat
ed by Mr. Patat, reveal that slash
pine which noramlly shows a high
percentage of sudvival in open sites
showed a survival considerably be
low normal, while longleaf which
presents more of a planting prob
lem with usually lov, survivals,
showed a higher survival than
slash and more than doubled that
expected.
While these experiments are not
to be accepted as conclusive evi
dence of the solution of this prob
lem, having been checked only one
year, Mr. Patat is of the opinion
that longleaf pine on such sites
is promising but that it remains
to be seen what will be the final
su-vival and rate of growth under
such adverse conditions.
Cover cropping in pecan has
given good results, according to
agronomists of the Agricultural
Extension Service.
