News Of Interest To
Farm Women
BY. MRS. HOMER COOK
c^ast week I received a letter
from Miss Eloise Davison, assist
ant director, office of Civilian De
fense, Washington, expressing
Mrs. Roosevelt’s pleasure at our
expr ession of cooperation from
the ' fifty-five thousand Home
Demonstration Club members in
Georgia with the civilian defense
program. On Thursday, I attended
a meeting in Athens addressed by
Miss Mary Judy, southern re
gional headquarters of civilian
defense. Since then, war has come
and it is of utmost importance
that we rural women participate
in civilian defense.
The defense program is broad
and the common sense thing to do
is to volunteer to assist in the in
which vou are better fitted,
either by training or natural ca
pabilities. There are many of us
who will not be able to go be
yond our farms and communities
to serve but if we do our utmost
to see that our families are fed
better balanced meals, that all
precautions are taken to insure
their continued good health, and
that the morale is kept high, we
will be defending our country
just as loyally as those women
who may go to serve in some
dramatic way.
Miss Judy stated that it is up to
the local unit to design its own
civilian defense program, to fit
the particular needs of the com
munity. This section is in the
target area and we must find out
what to do in case of air attacks
and to plan especially for the
care of children. Hysteria must be
avoided but the seriousness of the
possibilities must not be mini
mized. We should realize that our
everyday job is a defense job.
Mrs. George Cochran is in
charge of the Red Cross sewing
now and those who can help in
that work, please call her, The
Brick Store Club met on Tues
day afternoon and Mrs. Grady
Adams had her knitting with her.
Several of them are sewing. The
response to the Red Cross roll
call was splendid.

j j ! Extension Service
j Announce 4-H Corn
) And Cotton Stamps
C-eorgia’s 4-H club corn and
cotton producers for 1941 are
David Ridgeway, of Butts coun
ty, and Casper Farmer, of Hall
county, respectively. Both will
receive free trips to the National
4-H Club Congress in Chicago.
In addition, W. A. Sutton, Jr.,
assistant state 4-H leader who
announced the winners, says that
W. V. Chafin, county agent in
Hall county for the Agricultural
Extension Service, has been
awarded a trip to the meeting of
the National Association of Coun
ty Agents in Chicago during the
first part of December. This trip
is made each year to the county
agent whose 4-H club corn and
cotton members make the best
showing in the two contests, Sut
ton pointed out.
Ridgeway produced 102 bushels
of corn on his acre plot. He is 16
years old, has been in 4-H work
for six years, and has crimson
clover as his soil-building proj
ect. Second place award fo $20
was won by Nelson King, 13-year
old club boy in Berrien county.
He produced nearly 111 bushels
but was unable to receive the
Chicago trip since he was too
young according to regulations.
The 4-H cotton champion pro
duced 2,505 pounds of seed cot
ton on one acre. Casper is 16 years
of age and has been in 4-H work
for three years. Second place
award of $20 was received by
Benton Lipscomb, of Bartow
county, who produced 2,000
pounds.
Awards in the two contests are
made by a large fertilizer con
cern (The Chilean Nitrate Edu
cational Bureau), in cooperation
with the 4-H club department of
the Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
3-PURPOSE FOOD
“As we open up the throttle on
our agricultural production ma
chine,” says Secretary of Agri
culture Wickard, “we are pro
ducing food for three principal
purposes: First, we are producing
food for the American people; sec
ond, we’re producing food for the
British; and third, we’re produc
ing food to go into stockpiles, or
reserves, to be used, after Hitler
is defeated, to feed the people he
has impoverished.”
Added supplies of milk and eggs
are in demand and farmers would
do well to produce as much of
these two products as possible.

IViRYWHIRI
BY GEORGE SCHEER
Covington, Ga.
I tore up the copy for last
week's column. I had written it
before the terrible happenings in
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
1 had written a sort of "Hands
Across the Sea” thing. In keep
ing with what Secretary Hull and
our great president had been at
tempting to do, J, along with the
countless others of Americans had
had a vain hope of saving a peace
for the world.
Had we known the Japanese as
well now as then, we might have
known that this was favorable
tactic—to conceal the thorn of
treachery in the hand-shake of
friendship. Yes, I tore up my
last week's column.
The president has said—we shall
not forget this infamy in a thous
and years.
If the Japanese are friends what
can the German Nazis be, who are
their inspiration for fiend ishness?
We talk about man ascending
far above the animal kingdom—
to a place just below the angels.
has become apparent that man
can also descend so low that the
beast of the field has become en
obled by contrast.
The wild animal knows only the
law of the fang and the claw. To
destroy because it wants to live.
But man in this newest philosophy
of the Authoritarians have raised
as the new standard by which to
live, Brutality, Treachery, the Lie.
Hate, and Contempt for the Rights
of others.
Thank God America lives to save
the world for what it still shall be
the haven for Right, Justice, Mer
cy, and Equality.
Have you been saving your old
newspapers? I dont mean for
National Defense alone. That’s
good in itself, but what I mean,
are those historic issues Decem
ber 7th and 8th.
Make a habit of saving those
issues covering historic instances.
In years to come you will treasure
these records of happenings. You
will build a history of your own.
Save at least the front-page and
editorial sheet.
It does a soul good to realize
that our great men in all this
tremendous struggle, are still
versatile enough to ke«p up with
the ordinary things of life.
I am impelled to write this out
of a letter that I received from
our great leader in Congress, the
Honorable Carl Vinson.
In all of this gigantic effort to
build the greatest fighting navy
in history, he is able to take time
out to write about wanting to buy
some Guernsey heifers and
“springers”!
This letter shows such a splen
did philosophy for living in our
present emergency, that I must
quote portions from Congressman
Vinson’s letter:
“This is going to be a long war.
We will win but nevertheless it is
going to be necessary for us to
carry on business as much as is
possible in a normal way.
“Every farmer can do his prat
by increasing his production, as we
must have food to win the war as
well as implements with which to
fight.”,
I Mr, Vinson has given us a key
and a guide for living.
What Caxl Vinson has said about
carrying on, is a lesson for our
Christmas conduct.
Santa Claus is still with us. We
cant give up. We wouldn’t be
true to the boys in camp, to the
heroes at Wake, Guam, Mani’a, or
Honolula, if we would fold in
spell of depression, drag on our
work or business, or try not to
make the best at home.
If we give up, and fail to hold
up that chin, we wont have jobs
or stores, or places of employment.
We wont be able to buy bonds, or
furnish the funds which make the
sinews for war.
Santa Claus is still with us. It
may not be the most merry Christ
mas, but we can be cheered for
the children and those dependent
on us at home, and the boys “out
there”.
Let’s make this a good Christ
mas. Each shall do his part. Have
you got your shopping list? Add
another name for some boy in
camp.
Make it a slogan—add another
name to your Christmas shopping
list—some boy in camp!
