Mrs. Henry Odum
By Mamie Ozburn Odum
Today with the world in a frenzy
of horror, when life seems to be
at such a cheap price, when hearts
are broken, homes wrecked, and
an unspeakable fear gnaws our
i very soul, we wonder, and pray for
better understanding, for
peace that is everlasting, and
knowing deep in our hearts that
: RIGHT will and must prevail.
WHEN'
When shall man learn earth’s
'treasures
Are . not
gold, silver or myrrh,
j Or things that chatter heart and
home,
That worldly passions stir,
W’hen shall „„„ man find ... earth ,, , s i
Etched in the heart of a rose,
Soft cool rain, evening’s breeze.
A baby in repose.
A s ° lden sun sinking to rest,
Shade from a spreading tree,
A mellow-throated mockers song
Thrilling glad and free,
Here man shad find earth s trea
j sures,
In quiet, familiar lanes,
Gold white light in early night,
Outlining window panes.
Childrens’ voices free from care,
Sweet rest in evening’s gloam,
’Tis here sweet PEACE is waiting
Carved deep in heart and home.
THE HIGHER WAY
I want a slab-cabin by a clear
mountain stream,
Where the blue ridge holds up the
sky.,
Where the timberland breaks into I
thousand greens j
Where the wild of the forest fly.
1 , want . a rock , chimney , . , breasting ..
the hills,
And a door with silence shut in,
Where the ripple of water and
snap of a twig
Flirt with shadows that are fill
ing the glen.
I want a rock hearth of one great
stone,
Where time stands still to pray,
Where rushing and hurrying are
unknown,
That my soul may find the higher
way.
FIGHT WEEDS
It pays to keep down weeds and
grass — in strawberries throughout!
the summer and well into the fall.!
This will enable plants to be heal
thier and more vigorous next
spring according to Extension Ser
vice horticulturists.
Kudzu may be grazed but cows
should not be left on it too long
at a time, says the Extension Ser- ;
vice.

AAA Announces
Wheat Quotas
For Next Year
A national wheat marketing
quota for the 1943 crop has been
proclaimed “in ample time for ,
growers to plan their fall wheat
seeding operations,” T. R. Breed
love, state administrative officer
of the Agricultural Adjustment
agency, S disclosed this week.
Announcement of the quota, re- :
cently fixed at 55.000,000 acres
for the country, was made in
Washington by Secretary of Agri
culture Claude Wickard. Geor
gia’s quota has been s e t at 146,327
acres, compared with 138,403 acres
this year.
Under marketing quota regu
lations, Breedlove said, a nation
wide referendum will be held in
the spring, before June 10, 1943,
to determine whether growers
wish to have the quota remain in
force. A favorable vote of two
thirds of the eligible growers
voting will be required to put
quotas in effect.
The law provides, Mr. Breed
love said, that a quota shall be
proclaimed for an approaching
market year whenever it becomes
apparent that the total supply of
wheat will exceed a normal year’s
domestic consumption and export?
by more than 35 percent. Due to
decreased’exports^ttfis and

production will be approximately . ,
660 000,000 bushels, making a total

supply of U. S. wheat of 1 , . ,

Am * willing to serve in whatever
capacity my country needs me
most? Will I be able to look the
other fellow in the eye after this
war is over and not be ashamed
of what I have done ? The person
who cannot answer these questions
in the affirmative does not deserve
to be called a man. And yet there
are people in Covington and New
ton County who cannot amswer
these questions affirmatively. Can
a person be so selfish and feel that
he has a right to be called an
American Citizen? No more should
be asked of any man, and certainly
no less could be expected.
