R. 0. Arnold Speaks |
To Emory Students I
A man is rich or poor by what
he has in his heart and not by
what he has in his pocketbook, de
clared Robert Arnold, manager of
the Covington Mills, in an address
yesterday morning to the students
of Emory at Oxford.
Mr. Arnold- well-known South
ern textile figure, delighted the
students with many observations
he has made in life .
"There’s a lot of difference be
tween education and intelligence,”
said Mr. Arnold. “If a man is a
born fool, an education serves
only to make him a bigger fool.
Intelligence, on the other hand, is
the ability to think straight, to
meet new situations sucessfully.”
Mr. Arnold urged the students
to develop character-building ha
bits while they were in school.
“Learn to be dependable,” he
urged. "Nothing will help you
quite so much in life as to be
known as a dependable man. It is

Says Transportation Is Most Vital Problem;
Regulations Hampering Farmers of Georgia
Adopting the slogan "Food Per
Victory” immediately after Pear)
Harbor Tom Linder, Commissioner
of Agriculture, put the Dep–rt
ment of Agriculture squarely be
hind the war effort. Attaches in
the department say that Linder
is getting over in the flower clubs
the idea of moving roses over for
carrots.
Mr. Linder’s suggestion to the
National Association of Agricul
tural Commissioners which dealt
with saving tin and conserving
canned fruits and vegetables for
men .in the service met with in
stant acclaim. Not only was it
adopted by the Association but
Mayors and men of importance in
every section of the United States
have been urging that housewives
raid the fruit and vegetable mar
kets before buying any food in
cans.
This movement has been par
ticularly helpful to Georgia farm
ers and gives them greater oppor
tunity to fit agriculture into the
war effort.
"The greatest problem right
now,” Commissioner Linder said,
"is transportation. "Asked what
particular activity is uppermost to
aid the war effort Mr. Linder said:
"Figuring out these regulations
we get by the hundreds from
Washington. If we can get
through these we can win.
