keep bobby on his ped-
L sT AL--E very thing seems so
confusrd politically in Georgia
his year. Some desperate read.
fr of an Atlanta newspaper is
ell ggesting even that Bobby
} on es be elected Governor. That
certainly would be a shabby
tri ck to play on a young man to
whom Georgia owes so much
for having carried its name
triumphantly around the
wor ld. Four years in the Gov
ernor’s office are four years of
picking one’s way along among
boo by traps, contrived with the
most ingenious cunning. It’s no
life for a man whose experience
has been limited to the simple
land traps and water hazards
o f a golf course.
Then, there’s the matter of
President Truman's clamping
down on public dinners where
on excessive amount of fats and
oils are used. That certainly
sounds like a direct slap at the
Georgia political barbecue or
fish fry.
THE OGLESBY SALESMAN
SHIP—NotabIe results are be
ing reported from the women
workers around the state, headed
by Mrs. Juanita Oglesby, who
are interesting Georgians in the
need to get their names down
on the registration books—if
they intend to participate in
this year’s elections.
Mrs. Oglesby, who lives in
Valdosta but whose activities
carry her to all points of Geor
gia “where she is well-known,
was hostess recently to Anita
Colby, the famous Cover Girl of
Hollywood. The Hollywood star
visited Macon and Athens with
Mrs. Oglesby and Lon Duck-

CAN YOU HELP?—A lot of
folks in Georgia certainly must
know some good stories having
to do with the part their friends
or relatives played in World
War 11. As the one who is
compiling a record of Georgia’s
part in the war, I’d like to hear
about them. Matters of a gen
eral nature can be found in
1 public records among the arm
ed services or the agencies the
federal government set up to
handle the war. Stories of in
| dividual contributions by Geor
; gians I can gather only from
those who know about them.
Many a soldier’s valor has been
unrecognized. Not all the deeds
of heroism were limited to those
who received decorations. Even
away from the battlefield, there
are other forms of distinguish
ed service that even a civilian
could have contributed to the
success of the war. If any
one who knows anything he be
lieves ought to be incorporated.
into the official record of Geor
gia’s Part in World War 11, urge
him or her to write me at 38-A
Capitol Square, Atlanta. I am
anxious to make this history
complete.
MISSISSIPPI’S MADMEN—
: All of us in the South get good
laughs out of Senator Claghorn
but from Senator Bilbo and
Representative Rankin. Mississ
ippi’s two biggest mistakes, I
: get no laugh at all. Every
! time they open their flapping
mouths, they hurt the South.
We, who have been born and
raised in the South, understand
the necessity today of trying to
attract new investor and new
j industry to our towns and cities
। rather than to repel them. The
whole South suffers whenever
those two men talk because both
I of them show to an astonishing
I degree a narrowness and a pro
vincialism which have hurt this
section’s development for years
but which our sons and daugh
ters. who want to see the South
move ahead, are struggling to
overcome. The South has many
| problems which must be fought
on the floor of Congress but I
| believe the most effective fight
I is being U'aged by other South
• ern statesmen who know that to
succeed politically you must
' never lose your head. Let us
I rise now and give thanks that
there is not a Rankin or Bilbo
in Congress from Georgia and
' add a little prayer that there
; soon won’t be from Mississippi.
1 Georgian Out Os 20
Will Die In Auto Wreck
One out of every twenty Geor
gians will be killed by automo
biles during the next five years,
according to Major Charles A.
Williams, former state Public
Director. Mr. Williams recently
I concluded three years as head
of the Highway Safety Depart
ment to assume his new position
as director of the State Depart
mett of Corrections.
The accident rate steadily de
clined through the war years,
but that trend ended abruptly
with V-J day, and Georgia is
now heading for its highest ac
cident rate in history, Williams

Over 17,000 farm residents are
i killed and approximately a mil
lion and a half are injured in
[ accidents each year. So help

Arnall Asks Aid For
Europe's War Sufferers
Georgians are being asked by
Governor Ellis Arnall to con
tribute liberally to the $100,000,-
000 United Jewish Appeal to help
feed victims of the war in
Europe. He said:
“Out of the seven and a half I
million Jews who lived in Europe !
prior to the advent of Adolph
Hitler, it is estimated only 1,400,-1
000 survived Gestapo abuse, the
concentration camp, the horror
chamber, and other misfortunes j
of war. Today these survivors are
faced by the spectre of starvation
and death unless sympathetic I
people in America go to their;
aid.
“Having rescued a considerable j
remnant of the Jewish populace,
it behooves us now to pull these'
back from the brink of the grave
upon which they stand.”

committed, Sheriff Benton said.
Although the body was badly!
decomposed, marks of seven

with a knife, were found. Five
of the wounds were in the breast
and two in the throat.
Sheriff Benton said that ■ the
dead man was probably the vic
