books have been paid for by fees
collected, it will be placed on a
free shelf. The library will be op
en to any one in the village above

It will in no way interfere with
the school library but will widen
literary opportunities of the high
school students as well as the old

hours for use of the library have
not definitely been decided upon.
it has been suggested that it might
be open every afternon under the
supervision of a teacher and an
hour or two in the morning under
the’supervision of a capable high

showing how the Lord’s Supper

Dr. Cohen, who returned to this
i Country in August from Germany,
s P eaks with good authority on
conditions inside Nazi Germany
tor he saw these conditions with
his own eyes.
In an interview with a Record
representative Tuesday. Dr. Coher.
declared the fundamentals of life
He pointed out that the Jews of
Europe, with exception of those in
Britain, are living in huge concen
tration camps, where conditions
are almost unbearable.
When the Nazis found that
many democracies were appar
ently asleep, they began their
march, the lecturer said. Only
after the fall of France did the
English-speaking world begin
wake and realize the darkness
of the outlook.
“The embattled forces stand
defined; it is not just one
nation againt anothe r,” Dr. Co
hen continued. “The victory oi
Nazi, Fascist and Communist
force s would ring down the cur
tain of progress and victory for
centuries ”
On the other hand. Cohen said !
a victory for Britain would per
mit the continued struggle of
democracy toward ‘
a society
based on justice, equality and
freedom fbr all men. Should
England win the war. he assert
ed. it .would not be “a Paradise
on earth,” but the struggle for
freedom will at least be permit
ted to continue. This 1
struggle
for liberty of all peoples would
be stopped forever by a Hjtlet
victory, he believes.
“In Nazi Germany,” he said,
“it is against the law for Jews
to drink milk, They are for
bidden coal and must shiver half
naked in unhealed rooms during
ihe severe winter. They cannot
have telephones or radios
and cannot go to the movies, res
taurants. cafes, show's or the
opera.”
Speaking further on the Jew
ish question in Germany, Dr.
Cohen explained that Jews can
no t do anything but manual la
bor regardless of education or
ability,
He added that some $12,000,
000.00 in Jewish owned property
bad been confiscated by the Ger
man government and several
hundred synagogues burned,

barley grows during the winter
and thus helps to control erosion
in addition to not requiring culti
vafion.
Another high producing grain
crop that we would like to see our
farmers try this year is Hegari
This is a nonsacchrine sorghum
and will do well planted after
small grain as it is strongly
drought resistant. Hegari should
produce two to three times the
grain per acre as does corn and
is about 90 percent as efficient as
corn, this means that it requires
100 pounds of Hegari to equal 90
pounds of corn. This crop may be
harvested with a combine. If you
plan to plant some late corn af
ter small grain then we would
certainly advise you to try Hegari.
A good many farmers think tha'
O-TOO-TAN and soybeans are
two separate and distinct plant'.
This is rot true the O-TOO-TAN
bean is just a variety of soybean
and is especially good as a hay
plant but is a very poor seed pro
ducer. If you like soybean hay and
would like a variety that would
produce good hay and also make
a better seed yield then try some
Clemsons or Hayseed. These are
two comparatively new varieties
that are heavy seed producers. For
this reason they are usually a lit
tie cheaper to buy.

Ten Called Here
For U. S. Army
(Continued from Page One)
Luther D. Hudson, White, and
Robert Clarence Shepherd and
Homer Kelly, Negroes. These men
will be called should one of the
regular selectees fail to be taken
into the Army due to physical
defects.
The Newton County Board has
been instructed by Sion B,
Hawkins, State Director of Se
lective Service, to warn all reg
istrants ordered to report for in
j | duction under the Selective Ser
vice System to arrange their af
| fairs as to prevent undue per
sonal hardship if they are reject
| | ed at Army induction stations.
I Pointing out that there are in*
stances when men sent to induc
| tion stations by local boards are
rejected on physical or other
} grounds rector Hawkins by Army said examiners. that it is Di- the
intention of Stale Headquarters
to reduce to a minimum any in
justices to registrant involved
in such cases.
One of the outstanding possibil
ities of inequity to rejected reg
istrants centers on the fact that
they may have severed their
employment connections when
ordered to report for induction,
Director Hawkins said.
Registrants therefore, should
point out to their employers the
possibility that they will not be
accepted at the induction station.
“The employer can then bP 1
prepared to replace the man if
he is accepted,” Director Hawk
j ins said “or to continue his em
payment if he is rejected.”
Director Hawkins also suggest
ed that registrants be advised
j that ion in at the the event Army of induction their rejec
t sta
tion they should immediately no
tify thelr employers of the re
jection. .
“Travel light. Take nothing but
essentials. And you'll save your
self a lot of inconvenience, “Di
rector Hawkins advised men se
lected for military training who
are preparing to leave for Army
. induction stations. He said that
one suitcase should be sufficient
to carry everything a
would need until he is outfitted
by the Army—“change of under
j eluding wear and type socks, of razor shaving he is set accus- in
tomed to using, tooth brush and
t0i * et articles ’ and thingf
like these.”
“Put them all in one suitcase,”'
he continued, “and do not take
along bags, boxes and loose arti
cles, or you only will be causing
a lot of inconvenience for yourself
and others while you are on your
way to the induction station and
afterwards.”

eral years on the Covington City
Council and had a large part in
the unusual record made by the
city last year. He has also served
on the Newton County Tax As
sessors and is a Charter member
of the Rotary Club. Mr. MeGahee
is a member of the Methodist
Church and a member of the
Board of Stewards.
Dr. S. L. Waites was the first
president of the Rotary Club which
had a charter membership of 18.
Due to the fine record of Dr.
Waites and the continued efforts
of Guy Robinson, the club has
steadily grown until now it has •
membership of 28. The past years
has been very successful for the
Rotary Club and the many projects
started by the administration of
President Robinson will long be
remembered. The Rotary Club
started the Children's playground
project which the city council took
over and completed. The airport
idea was offered by the Rotary
Club and is now in the making
with the cooperation of the Ki
wanis Ciub and the city and coun
ty officials. Other projects have
been offered, but not yet started.
Following the election, the club
heard Lieutenant-Colonel James
H. Skelton, Jr., head of the Se
lective Service Bureau of Georgia,
speak on the work of this depart
ment. He told how boys were in
ducted into the army and what it
meant to be a soldier. His talk was
greatly enjoyed. He was introdue
