EDITORIAL
The Harris-Talmadge people
holding the State Capitol started a
three-pronged drive last week to
tighten their hold on Georgia.
They promoted a “white pri
mary” bill that would give their
"club” the right to say who could
and could not vote in Democratic
"elections.” They sponsored a bill
that would muzzle the newspapers
of the Slate so they could not criti
cize public office holders. They
sponsored a bill to charge a “fee”
to belong to the Democratic party.
The boy king rode high on his
throne.
U. S. Route 41, which probably
carries the heaviest tourist traffic
of all north-south routes, is in poor
condition south of Perry.
The people of this section, who
benefit tremendously from the
tourist business, should interest
themselves in having this road im
proved. Perry's own B. F. Van
Hart is vice president of the Route
41 Association and his efforts should
have the support of all of us.
We are fortunate that the road
north of Perry is being resurfaced,
but our efforts to continue this im
provement should not wane. The
tourists make a thorough study of
highway conditions and, in view of
improvements of other routes, they
will not have to travel a rough and
winding road.
Sec Ultra-Violet Light
Persons who have had an eye
lens removed can see objects clear
ly in ultra-violet light that are al
most invisible to those with good
eyes. In the normal individual, the
ler.s absorbs almost all of the light
in the ultra-violet portion of the spec
trum so that very little of it reaches
the retina.

Vets' Park Included
In State Finances
An item of wide popular interest
in the State Appropriations bill
which was adopted was one setting
up $125,000 for development of a
State Veterans’ Memorial Park, for
which the citizens of Crisp county
donated thirty-five thousand dol
lars to buy one thousand acres. The
land was deeded to the State re
cently at ceremonies held at Cor
dele.
The State Parks department pro
vided plans for the memorial park
which will make it one that will
not only attract nationwide atten
tion and draw many tourists to
Georgia, but offer to the nation a
facility honoring the men who
fought in World War II that will
servo as a pattern and example for
other states to follow.
The memorial park, bill for which
passed the Legislature last year, is
located on Lake Blackshear, ten
miles west of Cordele and 31 miles
east of Amcricus. The lake, one of
the finest inland fishing grounds
in the South, is created by waters
hacked up in the Flint river by the
j famous Crisp county hydroelectric
energy dam, This provides a lake
with a 70-mile shoreline, in five
counties, and around it are being
built many vacation cabins by citi
zens of south and west Georgia.
Legislation for the memorial park
was sponsored by Repr. Palmer
Greene of Crisp and the State Parks
department.

Georgia farmers are advised to
purchase at least a part of their
1947 fertilizer requirements early
since the demand may exceed the
supply, according to specialists of
the Extension Service.
Pecan trees cannot be expected
to give satisfactory yields over a
period of years unless plant food is
added to the soil each year, horti

Farm Bureau Takes
No Part in Squabble
The Georgia Farm Bureau Fedc
ration, an organization of approxi
mately 40,000 farm families, is no t
taking any part in the governorship
controversy, says its president h
L. Wingate.
Answering a report that the Farm
Bureau is supporting one of the
claimants to the governorship, Mr
Wingate said:
“The Farm Bureau has not and
will not take any part in this con
troversy. The Farm Bureau i s
more important-than either one of
these men, or both of them.
“We are ready to work with any
person who is legally declared to be
governor, but we are taking no part
in this whatsoever. I’ve had lots of
calls from people wanting me to see
this person or that person about
this thing, but I have told them
that I am keeping hands-off.”
Mr. Wingate is in Galveston
Texas, attending a meeting of the
National Cotton Council.
