Find Answer To
School Problems
A belief that the State Com
mission on Segregation will be
able to come up with the proper
solution to the problem of school
segregation in the event the U.
S. Supreine Court renders an
adverse decision on the question,
was voiced this week bv Attor

In a speech to the Kiwanis
Club at McDonough, Mr. Cook
said that this commission of 21

Wherever you see new telephone poles being
“planted" and rural lines strung, it means service for
folks who didn’t have it before —■ service that helps
get things done on the farm and in the home.
Every month. Southern Bell is adding about 7,000
new rural telephones. That's the kind of progress
we like to report because we’re devoting a lot of
know - how, materials _
and money to rural
telephone expansion.

Slate Officers of 4-H Clubs
Meet and Set Goals for 1954
STATE OFFICERS
Meeting in Atlanta during Na
tional 4-H Club Week last week,
officers of the Georgia 4-H
Council made plans and set up
goals for expanding the club
program that reached unprece
dented heights in 1953.
Headed by President Jerry
Whiteside of Polk County, the
4-H'ers set the 1954 membership
goal at 135.000. There was a rec
ord 4-H enrollment in Georgia
last year of 131.385.
Four H members this year
will strive to complete 90 per-
segregation in the Georgia pub
lic school system."

cgregation, beginning with the

Administration of Governor
Bullock.
cent of all the projects they start.
The completion record last year
—another high for the state —
was 80.4 percent.
In line with increased mem
bership and project completions,
the 4- H members, working
through county and home dem
onstration agents of the Agricul
tural Extension Service, will try
to secure the assistance of 20,-
000 local leaders — farmers,
housewives, teachers, business
men, civic leaders and others —
who voluntarily help with 4-H
Club work. There were 14,134
local leaders in 1953.
The state officers will work
through District and County 4-H
Councils in an effort to reach
the state wide goals for '54.
State officers will encourage
the organization of County 4-H
Councils in the few counties that
do not have them already. They
will promote neighborhood 4-H
Clubs— in addition to the school
and community clubs — with
just a few boys and girls in an
area meeting together under the
guidance of local leaders.
Serving with Jerrv as officers
of the State Council this year
are: Nancy Knight, Newton
County, Girls’ vice - president;
James Jarrett, Floyd, boys’ vice
president; Nadine Brown, Quit
man, secretary; Irma Lee Smith,
Emanuel, treasurer, and Jimmie
Strickland, Evans, reporter.
Miss Elizabeth Zellner, Miss
Rhonwyn Lowry and R. J. Rich

Goals and plans for the year
will be presented to the District

Field Trials Os
New Type Rural
Phones Starts Soon
COV FIELD TRIALS 1-18-3 P
Field trials are scheduled to
start at Americus, Georgia in the
next few weeks on a new rural
telephone system which holds
promise of helping provide more
and better service to the nation's
farming areas, John N. Booth,
Group Manager, of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company said
here today.
The transistor, the revolution
ary electronic device invented at
the Bell Telephone Laboratories,
is the heart of the new system
which permits many conversa
tions to share a pair of telephone
wires without interfering with
each other. It can operate over
distances as short as five miles.
Other systems of transmission
not using the transistor have
been able to do this economical
ly only over much longer dis
tances.
Bell Laboratories engineers
are setting up equipment for the
experiment in farming commun
ities near Americus, Ga., 130
miles South of Atlanta. Equip
n.ent also is being installed at
the Americus Telephone Central
Office
The field trials will be con
ducted throughout the spring
and summer in order to test this
system under all types of at
mospheric and other conditions
related to telephone transmis
sion.
Personnel from five Bell Sys
tem Companies, including South
ern Bell and the Western Elec
tric Company, the manufactur
ing unit of the Bell System, are
working with Bell Laboratories
Engineers in the development of
the new system.
The transistor is a tiny rug
ged device which can do most of
the things a vacuum tube can
do but requires only a very small
amount of power. It previously
has been used in some telephone
apparatus, but this is the first
complete system of telephone
equipment which will use these
new electronic devices.
More than 300 transistors will
be used in the equipment on
trial at Americus. Advantage
will be taken of the lower power
requirements and the reduction
in size of various parts which
the transistor affords. This is
expected to result in cutting the
overall size of the equipment to
about one-tenth of what it
would be if vacuum tubes and
their related equipment were
used.
It Is this reduction of size and
power requirements made possi
ble by the transistor that has en
abled telephone engineers to
design a system for such short
distances.

duction in the state is at an all

agement." Huston urged poultry

Talmadge Urges
Nation's Women
Enter Politics
The women of America must
‘exert their wholesome influ
ence for good” if the Constitu
tion and the American Way of
Life are to be preserved. Gover
nor Herman Talmadge declared
last week.
"Because left - wing elements
are steadily chipping away our
heritage and individual freedoms,
it is time for the ladies of the
house to make their voices
heard,” the chief executive de
clared in an address before the
annual State Conference of the
Georgia Society of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution
“Housewives and mothers
must get over the idea of leaving
politics to their husbands. They
must go into the Assembly Halls
of the nation and exert t+ieir
wholesome influence for good
They must let their Representa
tives in State Legislatures and
Congressmen in Washington
know they are determined that
our Constitution a^d the Ameri
can Way of Life must be main
tained inviolate,”
America's background of free
dom and individual initiative
was born “around the family
hearth and in the prayers pf
devoted mothers,” Talmadge
said. "The hand which rocks
the cradle,” he continued, "now
is needed to steady the Ship of
State "
The governor lauded the
Daughters of the American Re
volution as the epitome of the
type influence American wo
manhood should exert in public
affairs. He called for intensifica
tion of its effort.
h is not necessary to go out
side Georgia to get superior
strains of baby chicks, because
Georgia hatcheries have the
best-quality chicks available.
