There only one thing which keeps
my face from turning tomato red—
at present it’s only a blush pink.
The reason for the lighter shade

made in my last week’s column,
and the fact so far I have had no
body to call me on it yet.
You'll recall that in speaking of
the Magna Charta, 1 said “. . . the j
people won the Magna Charta
FROM i?) the barons on the fields I
of Runnymeade. . . .” The facts
really are, that in June 15th of
the year 1215, the perfidious King
John of England was forced BY
the barons and landed gentry of
England to sign away HIS powers
which he had usurped with the aid
of foreign troops.
This was the Magna Charter or i
Great Charter, and was given I
only a year before the death of j
John.
A piece of legislation .which if
allowed to become enatced into j I
law, will do more to advance the
livestock industry in Georgia than
any one thing else. This is bill be
ing prepared by state Senator J.
O. Wall, of the 28th District. It is
intended to reinstate the course
of Veterinary Medicine and Sur
gery at the College of Agricul
ture, offering the degree of doctor.
At the present time, this course
(of which there are twelve col
leges in the United States) can
only be gotten by southern boys
at Aubrn and Texas. This means
that Georgia boys have had to
pay the extra out-of-state tuition
if they want to fit themselves for
this work.
On the other hand, the state of
Georgia, to get the necessary vet
erinarians must be forced to go
OUT of the state to employ the
majority of its vets. Georgia at
ONE time gave this course. As
we expect to expand, we ought to
make the means available.

“ Memories”
If we thumb the pages of our
lives we will find recorded there
many things we wished for and
did not get. In the light of later
experience and greater wisdom we
may feel profoundly thankful that
some of our wishes were not
granted. But if we thoughtfully
study the others that remain un
fulfilled. we are certain to be con
fronted with a disconcerting fact:
we did not work very hard to get
what we wanted, or if we did, it
was only a spurt, and at the first,
second or third obstacle encoun

Have we deserved the coveted
prizes?
As long as we live we shall nev
er cease to wish for things that we
feel to be beautiful and good, and
to hunger for them.
Right now we are wishing for
things that we believe to be desir
able, even necessary, for our wel
fare and happiness. *
But, are we making intelligent,
persistent, determined efforts to
attain hose ends?
Sometimes we do not know our
own minds; we have not taken the
pains to form a clear idea of what
we really want, nor any rational,
coherent plan whereby we may
obtain it.
The “poor man” often envies his
more fortunate neighbor who owns
an automobile. But is he taking
the necessary steps to put himself
in such a position that he can
purchase a car?
The young man is ambitious to
carve out a place for himself in
a business or a profession. But
does he know the price he must
pay, and is he keeping up his pay
ments?
The sick man and infirm crave
health and strength. But are they
living in harmony with those nat

physical well-being? The lonely

Everyone cannot win the game,
Some are sure to lose,
Yet we can play so fair and square
No one can accuse.
And when the final game is done,
And scores checked by our name
Will never count, won or lost.
But HOW we played the game.
OUK DEMOCRACY
We are preparing to defend our
selves to defend our nation—to
defend our democracy, declares
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wiekard. “While we mobilize our
young men into the armed forces
—and organize industry for in
creased production of planes, guns,
tanks, and ships—are vve doing ev
erything we need to do in order
to defend our democracy? We need
to give more attention to being
prepared psychologically and spir
itually. Every one of us needs a
better understanding of democracy.
Every one of us needs to try hard
er to make democracy work in the
daily life of America. We need to
think democracy through—we need
to work at democracy and make it
a living force.”
Plowing in the spring and fall
for three consecutive years will
practically free fields of wild on
ions. Howeven, this is hardly prac
tical in the case of permanent
pastures.

long.
