ALcItrr From Our C 'ongrci \mii«iii
Capitol Hill i
Washington, D. C.
December 28, 1940.
Mv dear Constituents:
When this letter is published our
Christmas holidays will have
passed and we will have returned
to Washington to begin a New|
Year end a new session of Con- j
gress. It will be the first session of
the seventy-seventh Congress, and
a session of great importance.
When the Vice-President opens the
Senate session and Speaker Sam
Rayburn of Texas calls the House
to order, Georgia will be repre
sented in many important posts.
Our Senior Senator, Hon. Walter
F. George, besides being ? member
of the Finance, the Civil Service
and the Privileges and Elections
Committees, will be Chairman of
the very important Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. Be
cause of world conditions, and the
fact that this committee passes on
all treaties and agreements with
foreign mtions, and helps shape
the foreign policies of our govern
ment, this is one of the most im
portant posts in our government.
Our Junior Senator, Hon. Richard
B. Russell, besides being a mem
ber of the Committees on Appro
priations, Naval Affairs, and
Manufactures, will be Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Immigra
tion, which also by reason of world
conditions, is of major importance.
The dean of the Georgia delega
tion in Congress, Hon. Carl Vin
son of the Sixth District, is'Chair
man of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs. The next Georgia
Congressman in seniority is Hon.
Helping Young
Child in Speech
By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Pk.D
• To aid in the young child’s
speech development proceed as
follows:
Always, speak accurately and
distinctly in his presence. Use
those words and sounds with espe
cial precision which he finds most
difficult Provide him with ample
opportunities for free play with
many other children of his age.
Don’t ask him to speak. Let him
alone. He will learn best to talk
when he, on his own accord,
ehooses to do so.
During his second year begin
reading to him from pictured
story books and continue reading
past the age of entering school.
For speech training, reading
stories is far better than telling
stories, since the language usually
is better and since he hears the
same words, phrase's and sen
tence-patterns over and over.
Never smile or laugh at any er
rors. Never make fun of his ques
tions or remarks. Treat them al
ways in the spirit in which he ut
ters them. Be always patient,
sympathetic, courteous.
Exercise Caution
Exercise great caution in at
tempting to correct his speech lest
you do more harm than good.
Rarely or never ask him to re
peat the correct form after you.
If, without suggestion of rebuke
or interruption, you can merely
say in a quiet manner the correct
sound or word or phrase after
him, he might elect to repeat it.
But don’t urge or even ask him to
do so.
Every pre-school child is a po
tential stutterer and most children
from three to five stutter some.
Be Calm and Patient
This is the time to be wholly
calm and to listen patiently. Give
the child the word you know he is
struggling to get, but don’t tell
him to be careful or to go slowly
or to repeat after you. Don’t look
st the child’s mouth if he stutters.
Focus your eyes on his eyes or
look away nonchalantly. Work
for healthier emotional control
in him, a quieter, calmer, more se
cure family atmosphere, keeping
your voice soft and low, with less
noise and excitement, fewer con
flicts. less fatigue—dill built upon
the healthiest physical body you
can, with the aid of your doctor,
help develop in the child.

Hamilton Ralls With
Sears-Roebuck Co.
Hamilton Ralls, of Hogansville,
in Troup county, formerly direc- i
tor of the State Bureau of Mar
kets, on January 1 will join the
staff of Sears, Roebuck & Com
pany, devoting his time to agri
cultural extension work. j
For a quarter of a century Mr.! '
Ralls has been interested in im
proving the condition of agricul
ture in Georgia. He was county
agent of Turner county when the j
famous “Cow, Hen and Hog
movement was started there and
thence to agricultural counties all
over Georgia.
The basic idea in that plan was j
to make every farm family a self
sustaining unit by raising suffi-j
and cient reserving food for cotton the entire family cash! j
as a
crop. I
In recent years Mr. Ralls has en
gaged in farming operations on a j
large scale near Hogansville, and |
has demonstrated balanced the practicabil- J
ity of a program by j
which a farmer buys very little if I
any food for human consumption [
or feed for animal consumption. |
Sears, Roebuck & Company ;
every year contributes a large
sum of money to aid in
better iound farming. from long The experience company that has j j
farm income is an exact bar
ometer to its own income.
Mr. Ralls will have his
quarters in Atlanta and will travel
extensively over Georgia and the
southeast in general.
TRIBUTE TO FIREBREAKS
Under the AAA 1941 program
fire protection has been recognized
as a soil conserving practice. And
although the provision does not
embrace every county in Georgia,
it is being given a trial in Greene
and Emanuel counties. The prac
tice provides for a payment of ten
cents per hundred feet for the cor,
struction of six-foot firebreaks.
These breaks are to be constructed
between December 1 and March 1,
and the woods must be unburned
in order to qualify for payment.
Food habits of Georgia farm j
j people favor a large consumption j
| of cereals, fats and sweets.
Rght now with the rats eating j
up the corn is a good time to start j
that new rat proof corn crib, or to ;
repair the old crib to make it rat \
proof. |

GATHER EGGS OFTEN
laid “ In quality, order tto preserve should that new [ j
eggs be gath
ered three times per day.’ says R. I
J. Richardson, Extension econom
ist in poultry marketing. "Apply
this practice the year round and a
larger percentage of high quality
eggs will result. Also keep the
broody hens out of the laying
flock. While eggs are being held
they should be kept in a tempera
ture of from 55 to 65 degrees Fah
renheit. Lower temperatures tend
to cause eggs to ’sweat’ more.”
