So many people raise the point
that the president should not be
given the powers delegated to him

Some of our loudest statesmen
very vocif erously want to know
I what does the president want now

To begin the president needs and
should have this means of giving
us the time to protect ourselves.
First is speed. If he must go to
Congress for each step, the war
would be over and we would be
heiling Hitler before we knew
whrt was happening.
Second, the act would provide
that we could outfit a foreign ves
sel for war purposes in our own
ports and docks, this the president
has not been able to do so far.
Third, this act provides that for
eign battleships (friendly to our
side) could be repaired, rearmed,
£nd refitted for battle purposes,
and be allowed to be freed for ger
vice . . . this cannot be done at
present.
In other words we throw off the
sham of neutrality and take our
wjthout the ostrjch #ct of
thinkjng the fest of the world is
fooled when we stick our heads in
the sand.
There is one point that is clear
... the president will not send such
supplies in American ships or with
American crews.
Speed, speed, speed is whrt we
need and the democracies require,
to live.
The legislators up at the State
Cspitol should take time out and
study the possibilities of giving our
country boys who want it. a
chance to study veterinary medi
cine or surgery . . . This is a mat
ter for the Board of Regents and
the stste government.

great years, triumphant years, and

upon him the mantle of the great.
Once in a generation, or a cen-
tury, comes such a man ... if - we
can evaluate the conditions, we
shall realize that President Roose
velt hts been so chosen.

Happy birthday to you F. D. R.,
first citizen of America and the
world!
Let's make the president’s birth
day one of master celebration by
aiding in the drive for infantile
paralysis ... on with the March of
Dimes and the Birthday Balls.

There was some talk before
Christmas that smaller communi
ties may have the adventage of the
Stamp Plan such as practiced in
the cities for handling Surplus
Commodities.
This is a boon to the merchants
and a dds to help received by the
nee dy ... I think I am correct
when I say that the County Com
missioners can request a survey for
application of this project.
It might be worth the while of
Newton County to look into this
matter.

It would be fine if the repre
sentative of this fine county could
be instrumental in having the de
gree of veterinary medicine rein
stated by the Board of Regents for
our boys who attend the State Col
lege of Agriculture.

There’s a lot of talk about the
flu . . . wonder if somebody could
or would recommend that onions—
’specially the luscious spring va
riety, isn’t the best thing to keep
off this disease ... it seems to keep
away your best friend!
I’m fond of scallions, shallots,
not, sweet, and any other onion . . .
jf t ne fj u doesn’t do the trick, may
j suggest we have Onion Week
something similar . . . so the t
er ybody will be munching, crunch
ing or otherwise enjoying this de
lectable and delicately (?)
fumed vegetable.
If all partake none will object.
The more I read of the Coving
ton News, the more I realize that
the country weekly holds a neces
sary place in the life of all com
munities, end which cannot be re
placed by the dailies.
The proverb goes: “If wishes
were horses all beggars would
ride.” yeah (?). If you had cusn
ioned rocking-chairs for saddles
But who wants to ride . .. too much
trouble anyway!
Have just been reading “Mrs.
Miniver” by Jan Strutber, a little
English lady. And it is a. sp.endid
relief from bombing, black-out:?
and the like.
There is much wholesome sanity
(as if anything could be whole
some and not sane) in this book,
which seems to explain the reason
why England can't be downed by
bomb-craters and blitzes . . . read
it.
Several columns i go I told of
the story of the relation between
the present Lybian campaign of
the Britsih and explained why it
was related to Eatonton—or the
hero of the 19th Century, General
Eaton. But I failed to state tiiat
this camp? ign was fought with foot
and camel soldiers as contrasted
with the present campaign in
which the soldiers are transported
in trucks and highly mechanized
means.
These warriors of other days
fought the hard way md won . . .
compare it to the present.
News dispatch tells of the French
eating crow because of food short
age . . boy, oh boy, have I “et”
crow and how! And I wasn't hun
gry!
Watch Col. “Wild Bill” Donovan: i
he is making history in a quiet
way. As the president's personal
emissrry, his contact with the
French African troops, and again I
way up in the Balkans, will have
a surprising effect . . . watch thus
hunch — something breath-taking
will come out of this!
I was reading the bank statement
the other dry in the Covington
News, and Newton County may
well be proud of its financial in
stitutions.
A county with such strength and
security can show added reasons
why she is progressing as she does.
More power to Newton County,
may she grow finer, stronger and j
remain as ever-progressive and
hospitable and ever growing.
Cut only the crooked and limby
