According to the authorities,
Georgia this year has a great abun
dance of quail and other game, and
the quail hunters and trfeir dogs
took to the fields in large numbers
when the season opened last week.
More and more the landowners of
our state are coming to realize that
the game in their fields and woods
and the fish in their streams is
a cash crop of enormous potential
value.
It was Zach D. Cravey who intro
duced this idea in game and fish
conservation when he was Commis
sioner of Game and Fish during
the administration of Governor
Talmadge. He demonstrated that
in wildlife conservation the most
important thing was to have the
cooperation of the rural people and
landowners, by convincing them
that their game and fish are worth
money, because wealthy people in
the North will spend more for
hunting and fishing than for any
other form of recreation.
“Protect ycur game,” jMr. Cravey
told the landowners. “Don’t allow
promiscuous hunters and game
hogs to destroy it. Take care of it.
Look after it, watch over it, protect
it. Your game will bring you mon
ey.” Up and down Georgia he
preached this doctrine, and it took
hold and grew and spread, until
now it has become the basic policy
of wildlife, conservation all over the
Southeast.
A Detroit business man spent two
weeks in Georgia, quail shooting.
He had his family with him, and
his expenditures in cash were SSOO.
It was Mr. Cravey who brought him
here, and hundreds of others. He
maintains that by 100 per cent co
operation between law enforcement
authorities and landowners, Geor
gia can build up an out-of-state
income from hunters and fisher
men of fifty million dollars.
Among forestry and wildlife con
servationists, sportsmen, fishermen,
owners of hunting and fishing
lands, there is general talk and
high hopes that in view of the fine
■work he did as Game and Fish
Commissioner in the previous Tal
madge administration, the return
ing Governor will appoint him to
head the Department of Natural
Resources in the new Talmadge ad
ministration. This department em
braces both wildlife and forestry,
as well as mines and mining and
parks.

It is a matter of satisfaction and
pride to all Georgians for their
senior Senator, Walter F. George,
to be elevated to the chairmanship
of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, succeeding the late Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada, who re
cently died.
Senator George comes to this
position of tremendous responsibil
ity in the most momentous era. of
American history since the War
Between the States. It is no exag
geration to say that in the present
shape of world affairs, the chair
manship of the Foreign Relations
Committee is by far the most im
portant in the Senate. That Sena
tor George will back the foreign
policies of President Roosevelt was
made clear in a statement to' the
press in which he said:
“I am fully in agreement with
the foreign policies of the adminis
tration. The American people pass
ed upon those policies in the recent
election, and none can challenge
the verdict they pronounced. The
United States cannot be too alert
and determined in seeing that the
Americas rfre preserved for Ameri
cans. We cannot allow the dicta
torial powers of Europe or Asia to
gain a foothold anywhere in the
Western hemisphere.”
As pointed out by Ralph Smith
in his column in The Atlanta Jour
nal, Senator Georgie is even more
in accord with the administration
on foreign policy questions than
was the late Senator Pittman, who
was not in favor cf the Hull recip
rocal trade treaties, whereas Sena
tor George very ably and eloquently
supported them.

Names of Third 100

Below we give the third hundred
names of those registered for selec
tive service in Clayton county and
they come in the order that they

already been sent to 200 regis

the questionnaires incorrectly filled
out; several questions not answered
at all and others only party an
swered. This might cause a wrong
classification, so we are asking all
registrants to be more careful in
filling them out. Be sure to answer
all questions and where dependents

Baptists To Feature
The Orphan’s Home
In addition to the regular ser
vices Sunday the people of the
Baptist Church will feature the
Orphan Home at Hapeville in spe
cial services in which about twenty
children from the heme will take
part. Sunday School will begin at
the 9:30 hour, in which the chil
dren from Hapeville will have a
leading part. The pastor will
preach at 11:00 o’clock after special
musical numbers have been ren
dered.
The visiting children will be en
tertained in the homes of the peo
ple after the service in the morning.
There will be taken the regular and
annual Thanksgiving offering also
at this service.
For several years now, the home
has not been included in the coop
erative program through which the
churches contribute to all the other
causes cared for. The Orphan Home
has gone directly to the 'churches
with their appeals.
The home has undergone one of
the most prosperous years in its
history. More than a hundred thou
sand dollars have been spent on
improvements of the physical plant
where the children live. All of this
amount has been received from oth
er sources than the gifts of the
churches and Sunday Schools of
the state. The larger acunt came
from the Whitehead Foundation.
The regular offerings of the
churches have been used for op
erating expenses of the home which
call for about seventy-five thousand
dollars per year.
The minimum average gift asked
for this Thanksgiving is ten cents
per capita member of the churches.
There are a half million Baptists in
Georgia who, if the minimum was
reached, would give fifty thousand'
dollars. This amount would enable
the home to reach out to take in
the more than a hundred children
who are eligible and who should
be in the home.
The Sunday evening service will
be held at the regular hour. Train
ing Union will meet at 6:30 o’clock
and will be followed at 7:00 by the
evening preaching service. The at
tendance is expected to be large at
all the sendees.

D. U. Bathrick Predicts
Biggest Pontiac Year
Pontiac dealers from the com
pany’s 24 zones located from coast
to coast heard D. U. Bathrick, gen
eral sales manager, predict with
mathematical certainty that the
calendar year of 1940 will be the
biggest in the history of the Pon
tiac Motor Division.
Sales for this year have been 52.4
per cent ahead of 1939 and based
on th: best estimates for November
and December Bathrick says that
the total sales for the year should
ibe between 240,000 and 245,000,
which wdl beat 1928, the best pre
vious year, by some 10,000 units.
Dealer? tock part in a free and
open discussion of all business and
economic conditions with a great
deal of emphasis being placed by
Bathrick and the other factory ex
ecutives on the efforts take by the
factory to get production up to the
point where the thousands of un
filled orders can be take care of
promptly by all dealers. Th? plants
have been working at top capacity.
“The all-time sales record for the
United States that was set during
October shows that Pontiac is more
popular with the public this year
. than ever before,” Eathrick told the
■ dealers.
Almost every phase of advertis
ing. new and used car selling, ser
vice. paits and business manage
ment were discussed and ths new
est ideas available were given a
