Perry, Georgia.
My dear Mrs. Hodges:
Enclosed find my check to
cover subscription to the Home
1 Journal, You are giving us an
excellent paper and I wish to
keep it coming to my desk. Each
issue makes me feel as if I have
had a long letter from the “Old
j Home Town.”
Very truly yours,
W. I. Nunn.
The Editor appreciates both of
the above letters.
One Georgia industry may pro
fit from the crisis in raw mate
rials and no longer need a Fed
eral subsidy: Rosin prices should
react rapidly to the probable
shortage of soap-making vegeta
ble fats imported from the Pa
cific war zone, and the turpen
tine industry may really get back
on its feet after long years.
The foolish fellow who gives
'his girl the world with a fence
around it, sooner or later gels
the gate.
A bride has to have a lot of
fine qualities to make a suecses
of marriage if she doesn’t know
hew to keep house and cook.
Plant something in the garden
every week during the year and
you will have something to eat
from the garden each week.

CONGRESSMAN SIEVE PAGE
OPPOSES RETIREMENT ACT
Congressman Stephen Pace, of
the third Ga. district of which
Houston county is a part.inform
ed the editor of the Home Jour
nal Tuesday by air mail letter
that he was opposed to the act
placing members of Congress,
members of the Cabinet, the
President and the Vice president
under the terms of the Civil Ser
vice Retirement System.
Mr. Pace advises that he did
not vote for this act and that he
has introduced a bill to repeal
this act.
Mr. Pace says: “Unquestion
ably this extension of the Sys
tem has considerable merit and
there are many arguments that
can be made in favor of it. How
ever, under existing conditions I
believe it is untimely, as we now,
as never before, need a united
nation. Every citizen will be
called upon to make many sacri
fices before this war is won .and
Congress should not permit itself
to be put in a position which
might be interpreted as contrary
to the urgent needs of the hour.”
EDITOR’S NOTE; We con
gratulate Mr. Pace upon his
stand in this matter and are ful
ly in accord with his views on
this subject.
