“COASTAL GEORGIA’S LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER”
Farming Progress
In Georgia Cited
By Gov. Talmadge
ATLANTA—(GPS) Gov. Her
man Talmadge did a lot of speak
ing the other -day on what per
haps is his favorite subject —
farming. Georgia’s farmer-Govei -
nor delivered speeches on the same
day to two different groups in
terested in agriculture; and he
painted a bright picture of the
progress being made in that field
in our state.
Tractor mechanization has done
more to make’farm life attractive
than any other modern-day im
provement, he told some 400 Ford
tractor dealers from Georgia and
Alabama gathered in Atlanta for
their annual meeting. Said he:
‘‘Georgia farmers are moving
steadily ahead in mechanizing
their farms. In the last ten years
we have jumped from about 15
per cent mechanization to about
50 per cent mechanized at the
present time. Such impressive im
provement could come only in Am
erica with our mass production and
free enterprise system ... I am
confident that the futuie will bring
endless new harvesting and plant
ing equipment for our tractors to
further aid the farmers in their
work. This will serve to make
farming an even more attractive
undertaking.”
A few hours later at Forsyth,
where he addressed a joint meet
ing of the Lions and Exchange
Clubs and Monroe County Farm
Bureau members, Gov. Talmadge,
who owns and operates a large
farm in that county and is, him
self, engaged in dairying, said
Georgia rapidly is becoming one
of the nation's leading livestock
states and the futui outlook is
for continued expansion.
“We of Georgia and the South,”
he declared, “have made the happy
discovery that our section of the
nation is ideal for the profitable
production of livestock and dairy
products of all kinds. The pro
gress our farmers have made in
this field in the past few years
has been nothing short of pheno
menal. At regular intervals, all
over the state, livestock auctions
are held which provide important
markets for our farmers near their
farms.”
Citing federal government
statistics which show Georgia's
cattle production increased more
than 65 per cent in the decade
from 1940 to 1950 and this same
proportion of increase is being
maintained now, the chief execu
tive said:
"Because our farmers have im
proved their breeding methods,
the quality of our cattle has be
come better year by year. The
best strains of dairy and beef
animals have been introduced in
this state from the principal live
stock-producing states of the
country.
“Our trend toward the develop
ment of all-the-year pastures, par
ticularly in Middle and South
Georgia, has helped in our over
all growth. But our farmers have
learned that good pastures do not
necessarily mean fine animals.
They have learned that the better
the pedigiee, the greater profit
will come from the utilization of
the pastures."
The Governor was high in his
praise of the work being carried
on by farm bureau members, the
4-H Clubs, the Future Farmers
of America and affiliated organi
zations throughout the state.

Uniform Traffic
Code Covers Both
Fast, Slow Speed
ATLANTA — (GPS) While
speeding is listed as the No. 1
cause of traffic accidents in Geor
gia, the so-called "Sunday driver,”
or slow driver, is in many in
stances regarded as much of a
mance on the highways as the
speeder. And if the proposed Uni
form Traffic Code is adopted by
1 the Georgia General Assembly at
its January session, the “motoring
creeper” had better watch out.
Reason: The code deals with all
phases and details of speed con
trol—the slow as well as the fast.
In discussing this phase of the
proposed act, Garland T. Byrd,
director of the Georgia Citizens
Council, sponsors of the state
wide traffic safety program, had
this to say:
"The basic rule is declared that
no person shall drive a vehicle
on a highway at a speed greater
than as reasonable and prudent
under the conditions and having
regard to the actual and potential
। hazards then existing. Maximum
limits set forth in the code are
, 25 miles per hour in business and
residential districts; 55 miles per
hour in other locations for auto
mobiles and 45 miles per hour for
trucks.
“However, a series of sections
authorize the State Highway
Board, after engineering and traf
fic investigation, to establish spe
cial speed zones upon highways
under state jurisdiction.
“There’s one provision that would
be a boon to the motorist who de
sires to keep his speed at a steady
clip—within the law, of course—
but who has been held up by the
so-called ‘Sunday driver.’ It in
cludes a minimum speed regu
i lation to the effect that no person
। shall drive a motor vehicle at such
. slow speed as to impede or block
I the normal and reasonable move
। ment of traffic, except when re
, duced speed is necessary for safe
orperation or in compliance with
. the law.”
’ Traffic experts and agencies re
■ sponsible for public safety in Geor
■ gia, as well as many ordinary
motorists, reportedly are urging
members of the legislature to
adopt the proposed Uniform Traf
fic code. Statistics show a sharp*
decline in traffic violations and
i fattal accidents in states where it
i has been adopted, it was pointed
' out.

Pembroke Girls
And Boys Win
From Brooklet
On Tuesday night the Pembroke
girls and Pembroke boys were both
winners in two good basket ball
games played at Brooklet.
The girls had an easier time of
their game than the boys, and
while there never was any doubt
about who would win the girls
game, still it was a good game
and was interesting from the start.
Lila Jarrell was the outstanding
girl player and was largely re
sponsible for winning the game.
The score ended Pembroke 35 and
Brooklet 25.
The boys game got started off
at a lively clip, and due to several
good breaks the Pembroke boys
led at the Ist quarter by a score
of six points. After that the game
tightened up and it was "nip and
tuck, and mostly tuck,” from there
on out. First one side was ahead
and then the other. But when the
final horn sounded it stood at
Pembroke 63 and Brooklet 62.
Andy Edwards was the outstand
ing player for Pembroke, at times
he was as “hot as a depot stove.”
All the boys played jam up bas
ket ball and the game was enjoyed
by all.
There was a large crowd of Pem
broke fans to go to Brooklet for
the game and all was jubilant
over the way the games turned
out.

Stewart Office
Tell of Brutal
Murder of Korean
CAMP STEWART, Ga. Dec. 1—
The brutal murder of an 18-mem
ber South Korean family, including
five infants, was described by an
Army officer here today as “one
of the most horrible atrocities of
the Korean conflict.”
Captain Russell A. Burnett of
Atlanta, Camp Stewart assistant
judge advocate, revealed the story
in a Public Information Office in
terview concerning his experiences
while serving 14 months in Korea
as assistant judge advocate of the
3rd Division.
The South Korean family was
murdered in the latter part of
1950, and evidence in the case in
dicated that the Communists forced
the victims to march two miles
from a small South Korean village
just south of the Han River to a
ravine where they were shot, Cap
tain Burnett said.
The former Atlanta Attorney,
who also dealt with atrocities dur
ing World War 11, said the victims
were lying face down, their hands
bound and their bodies tied to
gether, when found by UN forces.
Five of the victims were infants
strapped to the backs of their
mothers, he said, and another was
an 80-year-old woman.
Evidence gathered by judge
advocate personnel proved that the
family was murdered because some
of the members had befriended
UN forces when they withdrew
from a position by the Han River.
“We came across many other
atrocities by the Reds, but this
was the worst,” Captain Burnett
declared.
War crimes by the Reds are al
most unheard of now because of
the “stable war” being fought,
Captain Burnett said, but added:
"When the ground fighting was
fierce and Communist forces cap
tured territories once, held by UN
forces, it was ‘everything goes’
for the Reds.”
During the bitter fighting of
1951 and late 1950, there were a
number of cases where UN sol
diers were found shot to death,
their hands tied behind their backs,
according to Captain Burnett.
Captain Burnett’s recent arrival
here from Camp Rucker, Ala.,
brought about his reunion with
Major Henry E. White, Henderson,
N. C., post judge advocate gen
eral. Major White served as an
assistant judge advocate with the
3rd Division in Korea during Cap
tain Burnett’s tour of duty with
the division.
Captain Burnett’s wife, the for
mer Elsie M. Martin of Atlanta,
lives at 2165 Fairhaven Circle,
N. E., Atlanta.
During World War 11, Captain
Burnett served in China with the
Office of Strategic Service. He
served with a counter-intelligence
corps in Germany following the
end of the war.
Prior to entering on his cur
rent tour of active duty some four
years ago, Captain Burnett prac
ticed law in Atlanta. He is a grad
uate of the Woodrow Wilson Col
lege of Law, Atlanta.

No 'Forgotten
Patients' In
State Hospital
Dear Friends:
Last Christmas we had no “for
gotten patients” in the Milledge
ville State Hospital, thanks to the
thoughtfulness and generosity of
many churches, civic clubs, and
individuals. We hope that this year
the feat will be duplicated and
that every patient will hear his
or her name called when they
gather around the Christmas trees
at the various ward parties on
Christmas Eve. There are between
2500 and 3000 patients who will
be disappointed unless the friends
of the hospital again supply them
with gifts or money for buying
gifts. If you or your organization
would like to provide happiness
and cheer at Christmas time to
one or more of these unfortunates,
gifts and funds will be most wel
come. Checks should be made pay
able to “Patients Benefit Fund
(Christmas)" and mailed to Mrs.
Claire S. Callaway, Chief Social
Worker, Milledgeville State Hos
pital, Milledgeville, Georgia.
Also, gifts may be mailed to
Mrs. Calloway. If gift wrapped a
list of contents should be attach
ed to the outside of the package
or lightly written on the outside
with pencil. Gift wrappings, rib
bons and seals are a welcome of
fering and the wrapping of pack
ages will provide pleasant occupa
tional therapy for patients who
are able to participate. Packages
for individual patients should not
be sent to Mrs. Callaway, but ad
dressed to the patients for whom
they are intended, in care of the
Milledegeville State Hospital, Mill
edgeville, Georgia. Also, please do
rot request ihe Social Service De
partment to ; urchase and wrap
gifts for individual patients. May
we suggest that donations of
funds or gifts be made as prompt
ly as possible, since it is quite a
task to prepare the gifts and dis
tribute them to the various build
ings. Also, we suggest that gifts
for individual patients be mailed
by December 15th and the pack
ages labeled “Do Not Open Un
til Christmas,” if it is your wish
that they be placed under the
Christmas tree and delivered on
Christmas Eve.
As to suggestions for gifts to
be provided we recommend the fol
lowing: Cigarettes, smoking and
chewing tobacco, stationery, cos
metics, toilet articles, power puffs,
bath cloths and soap, hose, sox,
scarves, costume jewelry, handker
chiefs, jigsaw puzzles, cards,
checkers, and similar games.
Each building will have Christ
mas trees, parties, and appropriate
decorations and gifts will be dis
tributed on Christmas Eve. A
typical holiday dinner consisting
of roast turkey, dressing, and all
the "trimmings” will be served all
patients on Christmas Day. A pro
gram of holiday festivities for
patients is being arranged by our
Recreational Department and we
hope to, in a measure, compensate
for their being denied the pleasure
of gathering around their own
firesides with loved ones during
this happy Season of the year.
Your help will be sincerely ap
preciated.
Cordially yours,
T. G. Peacock, M.D.
