It's Easy To Criticise —
— Few Wish To Take Action
During the past week we have read with inter
est the Grand Jury Presentments, which was made
public, and in which there was much to say about
conditions in Savannah and Chatham County.
The Grand Jury, through its Crime Committee
has found much to point to and ask that SOME ONE
do something about eliminating.
They say that they called the Chief of Police, the
Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies before
them and were told, that they would make an investi
gation and if same was true that it would be stopped.
Ano as a result, after a little ‘flurry here and a
little flurry there,” that will be all that it amounts
to until another Grand Jury or some other agency
wakes Savannah and Chatham County Citizens up
to what is going on, (or do they already know), and
many of them may be just like the negroes mule, when
told by another negro that his mule was blind, the
negro replied no, he ain’t blind, he just don’t give a
damn.
It is amusing to us, when at various times men
in high position are ignorant that there is gambling
going on at the beach in the summer, and there are
those that profess to be ignorant of a thousand and
one violations.
You can stand on one of the most prominent
corners on Broughton Street and look through a door
and see slot machines being operated, and on the in
side liquor being served to all who want it by the
drink or otherwise.
Now, when the Grand Jury after much investi
gation ieturn their presentments saying that they
found gambling wide open, liquor being sold contrary
to the law, and learned on good authority of a negro
girl “buck naked” entertaining th Q teen agers in one
of the joints on Bay Street extension, and do nothing
but cry out for some to something about it, it is high
time to stop and ask yourself just whose duty it is
to do something.
If the Grand Jurors saw everything they say
that they did, and we have no doubt about it. Don’t
they know that they took a sworn oath to present
each and every one before the Grand Jury who they
were law violators. Then why in the name of the Lord
did not they get busy and summon people before the
Grand Jury and return indictments by the hundreds,
and then call in the sheriff and ask that he im
mediately serve these warrants, which would have
been issued following any indictment that the Grand
Jury might return.
Then and then only would they make headway.
They are not dependent upon the sheriff or any
one else to serve their papers. They can name their
own ba iff. But we believe that had they returned
indictments against the “hundred of violators” that
Sheriff Harris and his force of deputies would have
served tae papers and served them immediately.
But the Grand Jury in Chatham did like so many
other Grand Jurors do. Just put it in the present
ments and pass the buck to some one else to do the
work.
The licensing of “private" clubs in Savannah is
wrong. The licensing of the pin ball machines is
wrong, and it leads to the “authorities” being more
or less blind to other law violations.
If the Grand Jury would do its duty, according
to the oath that they take, they can do more in one
session to clean up the mess there is in Savannah and
Chatham County than any other agency can. They
are not dependent on any one for a job, they are tied
down on account of politics, and for fear it might
hurt them politically to do this or that. They can
quit passing the buck, do their duty and there will be
a mighty upheaval in the State, and Chatham County
and in Savannah.
But at that Savannah is no worse, and probably
not as had as other large cities, especially sea port
cities. But it those who can do something about it, re
fuse to do their duty, then they haven’t much right
to expose conditions and criticise some one else for
failing to take action.
Start with the Grand Jury doing its duty, and
then things will happen and happen fast.

Fireworks Users
Must Be Careful
Cravey Declares
ATLANTA—Declaring there is
some sentiment among legislators
towards the outright outlawing of
all fireworks in the state, Safety
Fire Commissioner Zack D. Cra
vey has called on all Georgians
to exercise every care in handling
them during the holiday season.
He also warned dealers against
the sale of those which exceed
the specifications of the Safety
Fire Law.
“Fireworks bring our youth
much pleasure,” the Commissioner
stated.” I know because I was a
boy once myself. Now I see the
enjoyment they afford my grand
children. I would dislike to see
them banned in the state. However,
in careless hands, fireworks con
stitute a grave menace. Not only
are they dangerous to life and
limb but they also are a real fire
hazard.
“So I am asking our citizens to
observe al! caution in handling
them. Practically all of the dealers
operating in Georgia have been
most co-operative with the Safety
Fire Commission at all times and
this is appreciated, but I again
must remind every dealer to sell
only those fireworks which are
legal in Georgia.”
REWARD
A reward of $300.00 is hereby
offered to any person or persons
furnishing sufficient evidence to
convict any person or persons
hereafter for the larceny of cattle
within the confines of the 20th
G. M. District of Bryan County,
Georgia.

Toasted Corn Bread Tops
Chicken a la King Taste
Just how the name "King” came
to be associated with this popular
luncheon, dinner or supper dish is
a matter that usually brings forth
* little discussion.
Some claim that Chicken a la
King was named for a Philadelphia
restaurant owner who dreamed up
the dish late one evening, years
ago, when his supply of chicken was
low and a late-evening crowd or
dered chicken. Others believe it
was so named because it la fare
fit for a king.
Whatever its rightful origin may
be, you can't beat Chicken or
Turkey a la King for goodness when
it is served on toasted corn bread
Corn bread possesses a rich flavor
that’s naturally sociable with the
tasty creamed chicken or turkey.
A strong point in favor of this com
bination is that the toasted corn
bread will not go limp when it's
covered with the hot mixture.
Toasted corn bread makes the
perfect base for the King method
of using the strippings taken from
the left over carcass of a holiday
bird, whether it’s turkey or
chicken.
