Letter From Our Congressman
Capitol Hill |
Washington, D. C. j
January 11, 1941
My dear Constituents:
The session of last Monday was
most important and will be cited
as one of the historic days of Con
gress. At one o’clock the House and
Senate met jointly in the House
Chamber to solemnly canvass the
returns of the electors and to of
ficially declare the result of the
last Presidential election. Senators
Connally of Texas and Austin oi
Vermont had been appointed tell
ers on the part of the Senate,
while Representatives Ramspeck of
Georgia, and Tinkham of Massa
chusetts were tellers for the House.
Vice President Garner and Speak
er Rayburn occupied the presiding
officers’ station, while Senatoi
Connally received the return
from the other tellers and an
nounced them. So you see Texr
was distinctly in charge of count
ing the electoral votes, as the Vic<
President, the Speaker, the Sena

counted, it was ascertained that

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, of New
York, had received 449 electoral
votes for President of the United
States and Henry Agard Wallace,
of the State of Iowa, had received
449 electoral votes for Vice Presi
dent, they receiving all of the elec
toral votes except the 82 received
by Wendell L. Willkie and Charles
L. McNary, from the 10 States of
Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, North
Dakota. South Dakota, and Ver
mont. Thus the election of Presi
dent Roosevelt and Vice President
Wallace was declared, the first
time in the history of this nation
any man was formally elected
President for a third term.
After a recess of thirty minutes
the Congress reassembled in joint
ession to receive the message of
he President on the State of the
Nation. Promptly at two o’clock
he President entered, preceded by
members of his cabinet. He wrs
heered for many minutes by the
Democratic members, but the Re
publicans gave him no cheers
when he entered nor at any time
during his address in which he
asked for unstinted aid to Great
Britain and her allies and those
I “resolute peoples everywhere who
[ are resisting aggression and are
thereby keeping war away from
our hemisphere.” The President
said that he considered the mo
j ment “unprecedented in the his
j tory previous of the time Union, has because American at no
■ se
eurity been as seriously threatened
from without as it is today.” 1 I
will not quote further from his
message as you no doubt hrve read
it
On Wednesday the President
laid before Congress a “total de
fense budget,” earmarking over
ten billion dollars for a drive to
speed the flow of munitions.
Wednesday afternoon the Dem
ocratic members met in caucus and
elected three of their number to
membership on the powerful Ways
rnd Means Committee
Everyone is making arrange
ments for the inauguration which
will take place on January 20th. A

HOG OUTLOOK BETTER
With increased consumer income
and purchasing power resulting
from the defense program, Secre
tary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard states that farmers hrve
an opportunity to increase their
income from hogs by increasing
production for 1941 above the level
now indicated. The Georgia fall
pig crop, farrowed from June 1 to
December 1, 1940, is estimated to
be 787,000 head. This estimate is
19 per cent below the crop of 1939
but 13 per cent above the ktest
ten-year average. Georgia’s spring
pig crop was placed at 890,000
head, making a combined crop of
1,677,000 head, or a decrease of 22
per cent over 1939
---—.
Experiments within Georgia and
in adjoining states and experience
df farmers show that pasture fer
tilization, if properly carried out.
is profitable

Civilian Conservation Corps Training
Many Men For Jobs in Demand Now
The Civilian Conservation Corps
is specializing in training men for
jobs in demand this year, and the
next group will be enrolled in the
CCC on January 27th, it was an
nounced this week by Dr. Joseph
M. Branch, director of the State
Department of Public Welfare.
Dr. Branch pointed out that per
sons desiring to enroll in the CCC
should file their applications with ■
their respective County Welfare j j
Departments. He added that no
application will be accepted after
January 27th.
H. B. Merriam in charge of CCC
Selection in Georgia, declared that
the program now is offering trein
ing jobs which would give men
ready work* in the national de
fense program. He emphasized, I
however, .that the Civilian Con- J
servation Corps program has no j
actual military training.
<<r lhe _, jobs . trraning , . . .
we are our
men to do are not along military I
lines but for work that will prove |
highly remunerative in private
employment during the national j
program,” he said.
The CCC offering , training . . in .
is ;
mechanics, radio operation, sur- j
veying, telephone line vork, build
'ing construction and other import
^nt trades. Mr. Merriam declared.
j He added that Georgia’s CCC
j Camps are being beautified and
made more comfortable for this
year's consignment of men. The
CCC Director said qualifications
; for enrollees, generally speaking,
I are for unemployed men, between
j the ages of 17 and 23 years, un
married and not in school, a citi
z.en of the United States and a
person of good character. Although
they must be unemployed at the
time of application they need not
necessarily be on relief nor their
families be of the very poorest in
1 the community,
It is a good plan to have curtains
at the front of the laying house to
use only in rainy weather to pre
j vent the litter from becoming wet.
Chickens need good ventilation, so
don’t use curtains except when
necessary
