I rllrr From Our Congressman
Newnan, Georgia
March 1, 1941.
My dear Constituents:
I am writing this letter to you
from home where I have been
several days trying to shake off
the 'flu and an attack of tonsil
itis that has had me in its throes
for two or three weeks. The win
ters in Washington are as severe
as the summers. We remain in
our offices and at the Capitol all
day, and live in other steam heat
ed buildings. When we go outside,
even when the sun is shining, we
find the raw humid climate almost
invariably gives us a cold or sore
throat. My attack dates from a
foolish decision to walk from my

I the State Treasury during the last
fiscal year, went to a vitally im

a small part of the beer industry’s

The House has been working on

Monday was “District of Colum

of matters affecting the District
of Columbia. It is on these days
that the House resolves itself into
the “town council” of the City of

Our father has asked us to thank
everyone for their kindness to
him. At the present, this is the only
means he has of expressing his
appreciation. Your cards and
flowers have erveouragtd him so
much—and they have earned him
a nickname among his nurses.
When they bring his mail they
say “Here is something else for
our most popular man.” It bright
ens up his day and makes him
realize, as Mr. Alford so cheerfully
says, that everyone is “pulling for
him.”
A few news items were picked
up this week—a very few:
Misses Clara and Sadie Batche
lor from Eatonton spent last week
end with Mr, and Mrs. J. A.
Baugh.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Lord from
Thomaston were also week-end
visitors.
Robert Niblet from Fort Ben
ning spent the week-end with his
folks.
Eavesdropping with Eve:
Mary Worsham and Dud Child
ers are “getting to be a habit.”
Snig and Fred Lott are learning
to play all kinds of tunes on their
new musical horn.
Pete Niblet got behind with his
courting because brother Robert
used the car last week-end. You
can make it up, Pete!
Word comes that Neal Hewitt
met with an accident recently in
Nassau—result: three new teeth!
“Mr. Teaser” Wilson and George
Carr were stepping out in style
while riding up the highway—they
had a Chauffeur!
Ernest Coussens says he is think
ing of buying a bicycle built for
two so he can take his girlie to
the movies!
Litle Sandra Baugh is looking
forward to a birthday party soon.
She will get a very cute birthday
present from her mother.
Which reminds us—guess who
Charles Johnson is planning on
buying a birthday present for very
S °im — ’ ? \ ou S uessed lt!
Edward Smith says he is putting
a cutout on his Chewy to drown
out the rattles and squeaks.
Mamie Venable and Floyd Lott
are going everywhere together!
Corrie Dean McDaniel had two
esoorts Monday night—which isn’t
fair. C. D.!
Vivian Evans and Weldon Car
son are Sunday strollers. It must
be serious for Weldon wears her
name on a pin!
Mr. and Mrs. Cooter Payne
chaperoned James Hopkins, Dud
Childers, Buck Brown and their
girl friends (whose names we
didn’t get) on a trip to Indian
Springs last Sunday.
Did you see three boys with a
woebegone expression Sunday? If
so, it was Totsy, Marvin, and
George and it was because they
couldn’t find their girls. Better
luck next time, boys!
We’ll be back next week with
more news, gossip, etc., so until
then, as the doc tells our fath
er every day—“Keep your fingers
crossed.”

up with the completion of the
Naval Appropriation bills. Under
ehrse bills money for the erection
of buidings and the construction of
defense works at th new naval
bases recently acquired from Great
Britain in the destroyer deal was
appropriated. Our engineers have
been at work on these islands for
many weeks surveying and laying
out these defense works, and con
struction there will begin imme
diately. One of the promising
young engineers of our district,
Mr, Hugh Arnold of Newnan,
whose charming wife is the for
mer Miss Mary Quinn of Barnes
ville, is assigned to work on the
defenses to be erected on the is
land of Trinidad.
In this voluminous legislation
the work of the Chairman of the
Committee on Naval Affairs, Hon.
Carl Vinson, of Georgia, has been
ireless, and he has labored night
and day in order that nothing
would be delayed, and not even
the smallest detail has been over
looked. Mr. Vinson is spending the
week-end at his home in Georgia
for a much needed rest.
We were shocked and grieved
to learn of the tragic death Thurs
day morning of our brother mem
ber of Congress, the Hon. William
D. Byron, of Maryland, who lost
his life in the terrible airplane
crash near Jonesboro. Mr. Byron
was a member of the important
Military Affairs Committeee of
the House, and was a most valu
able and popular Congressman. He
and I were members of the '76
Club, and his name appeared on
the House roll immediately before
mine. He used to tell me that he
answered the roll call loudly so I
would know my turn was next.
He was 40 years old, and the fath
er of five fine bright boys, and
he and the four older ones formed
a family string band. He was al
ways happy and cheerful arvd will
be sorely missed.

VVfHY ARE SO MANY former owners of low- OXO.-.

Simply this-r Pontiac is priced so close to the '.'.'■yiy.-.-r.

For example, Pontiac gives you the ultra- *3®

Why not take your present car to your iU

SOIL-BUILDING LKSrPKWRlA
Lespedeza is one of the best soil
improvement wops adapted to
Georgia, E. D. Alexander, Exten
sion agronomist, tells us. Aban
doned land is being brought back
to production by its natural
growth. To hasten the improve
ment of such land the area should
be terraced—if it needs to be—
fertilized, disced and 30 to 40
pounds of seed sown per acre. The
seed should be coveted lightly. If
left to reseed, the area will be
completey covered the second year.
An application of phosphate and
jfme, where needed, will be very
beneficial in hastening the process
of soil improvement.
For hay. it is best to sow one to
two bushels of cowpeas per acre
(broadcast).
