Foundation Moves
On Beer Retailers
Selling To Minors
State Revenue Commissioner
M. E. Thompson Saturday sus
pended for 30 days the malt bev
erage licenses of three Atlanta
retailers accused of selling beer
to a 17-year-old boy, placed eight
more licensees on probation for
the rest of 1946, and ordered 70
enforcement agents of the alco
hol control unit to cooperate in
the enforcement of malt bever
age and wine laws.
The licensees were cited to ap
pear before the commissioner at
the request of the Georgia Com
mittee of the United States
Brewers Foundation, whose
main objective is to see to it
that law-abiding conditions are
maintained in retail beer outlets
throughout the state. Marvn Al
lison, the foundation’s state di
rector, questioned the 17-year
old witness, who testified at the
hearings to buying either beer
or wine at each of the places in
volved.
The Foundations action fol
lowed publication of a story in
The Atlanta Journal in which a
reporter related that he accom
panied the 17-year-old to the re
tail outlets and that he had been
able to bu ybeer or wine at all
of them.
In ordering the 70 agents of
the alcohol control unit to co
ordinate their efforts toward
stricter enforcement of the malt
beverage and wine laws, and to
cooperate with the foundation’s
Georgia committee in its work
toward that objective, Commis-

Please Sign With
Ink, Mr. Governor
Gov. Ellis Arnall receives
many requests for information
about Georgia. Some of the re
quests are very unusual. For ex
ample, he received one the other
day from an U-year old boy in
Alabama addressed to “Mr. Gov
ernor.” It read:
“Please send me a folder or
picture post card and some in
formation on your state. Thanks.
P. S. Please sign your name with
ink.”
Because the Governor likes
children, and especially boys, he
had the State Division of Con
servation send the young Ala
bamian a copy of “Georgia,” the
attractive pictorial booklet, and
picture post cards of the state
capital and the governor, and
himself wrote the boy a personal
letter—signed with ink.
sioner Thompson provides, for
the first time since beer was re
legalized in Georgia in 1935, any
state policing of those licensed
to seell beer or wine.
“The Foundation applauds Mr.
Thompson’s move toward strict
er enforcement of the laws,” said
State Director Allison, “as it will
give us material assistance in
our efforts along that same line.
We believe that the recent At
lanta cases will have a beneficial
effect throughout the state, and
that they will serve as a warning
to those retailers who may have
been careless in respect to sales
to minors.”

Science Teachers
Deserve More Pay
Until high school science
teachers are paid higher salaries
than laborers the youth of Geor
gia cannot be properly educated
for an atomic age, in the opinion
of State School Superintendent
M. D. Collins.
Dr. Colins said persons prop
erly trained in technical educa
tion are turning to industry,
where salaries are high, instead
of considering teaching scientific
subjects in the states schools.
As civilization becomes more
and more technical, the lack of
this training is expected to be
come more and more apparent,
according to the educator, who
added that there is more finan
cial incentive for a person to
train as a laborer than as a
teacher.
Although the State Depart
ment of Education certifies
teachers as to qualifications,
school system soften have to asfi
teachers qualified in liberal arts
to instruct in scientific subjects.
A teacher with a college degree
and a professional certificate be
gins a career with the monthly
salary of sl4l. Some city a n d
county systems supplement this.
"Improvement of high school
science teaching is imperative
for two major reasons,” Dr. Col
lins said. “It is at the high school
level that exceptional youths
should be inspired to take up
science as a career. This objec
tive cannot be achieved by in
different teaching. Some fami
liarity with science is basic to
good citizenship and proper ap
preciation of our modern civli
zaton. High school is the place
to acquire this.”
State Milk Board
Opposes Renewal
Os Price Control
George Stewart, director of
the State Milk Control Board,
has taken issue with Price Ad
ministrator Paul Porter, who*
asks immediate recontrol of
dairy products.
“There is no need of the gov
ernment placing milk back un
der federal control,” Stewart de
clared. “The price of milk in’
Georgia has merely offset the
governments’ subsidy of 8 cents|
a gallon to the producers.”
In reply to Porters statement'
1 hat the prices of dairy products!
have exceeded the former ceiling]
prices plus the government sub-1
sidy since controls were removed
tSewart said that this is not the
case in Georgia.
“I testified before the Decon
trol Board recently that I had
received no complaints about the
rise in milk prices to offset the
loss of subsidies,” Stewart as
serted. “Since than I have re
ceived only one complaint. Geor
gians do not seem to feel that the
price of milk is unreasonable.”
Advertising is an interesting
search for customers but, if the
hunt succeeds, you must plant
your bait where the game will
see it.

Poll Tax Out,
Jury Work, Too
For A Number
In answer to requests from of
ficials of several counties, Attor
ney General Eugene Cook has
ruled that Georgians whose
names were removed from the
tax digests with the poll tax
abolition are ineligible to serve
as jurors.
According to State law, jury
panels must be drawn from those
w'hose names appear as taxpay
ers. Removal from the tax digest
therefore, means removal from
jury lists.
At the same time, Cook said
that something should be done
to prevent the elimination of
such a large number of jurors
and suggetsed that legislature
broaden the law so as to allow'
“good citizens to serve on the
jury, even though their names
do not appear on the tax digest.”
Some county officials asked if
the lowering of the voting age
to 18 enabled the 18 year olds
to assume the citizenship respon
sibility of serving on the jury.
Cook answered in the negative.
The only way to prevent fires
is to prevent them before your
house burns.

NO RATS, SNAKES HUNGRY
Jackson, Miss.—The recent rat
eradication campaign conducted
here was too efficient, according
to I. E. Bennett, manager of the
city’s zoo. He can’t find any rats
to feed his snakes and has ap
pealed to residents of the city for
rats—live ones—for the reptiles.
