EDITORIAL COMMENT
NO SUCH THING AS AN
“UNIMPORTANT ELECTION”
One of the saddest things to
come out in the Eastman Times-
Journal’s commendable investi
gation of fraudulent voting in
Dodge county’s recent no-fence
election was this quotation from
a man who is supposed to be a
law enforcement officer:
“I thought it was a pretty good
election considering what it was
held for.”
He didn’t think it was import
ant; so apparently he does not
think it makes any difference
whether it was honestly conduct
ed or not.
Listen, brother—and sisters,
too: If we in this country want
to keep our freedom and keep
some power to say who will rule
over us, we’d better treat EVERY
official election as an important
one, even if it’s on the subject
of a no-fence law for Summer
gnats.
Must Be 100%
Not even 99 44/100 per cent
honesty makes an election “pret
ty good.” Nothing less than a
100 percent honest count of every
ballot cast can protect our Am-
MWWUWVWMMWWVVWWWMUVVVVV
erican way of life.
There is no such thing as an
“unimportant election.”
That’s why we are hoping that
a good many citizens of Houston
county and the state will surprise
political observers and them
i selves with a heavier turn-out
than expected in the election
, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 7.
Since Acting Solicitor General
William West is unopposed; since
he knows the job he’s seeking
■ because he worked with the late
I Sol. Gen. Charles Garrett, and
since he has shown himself to be
an earnest, capable man, there is
a natural tendency for citizens to
feel there’s no need for them to
go to the polls and record their
ballots.
But there is no better way to
remind ourselves and all our pub
lic officials that we like the form
of government that we have and
intend to keep it, than to form
the habit of going to vote in ev
ery election for which we are
qualified.
We’ll bet Solicitor West, as a
good citizen, would a whole lot
rather go into office with a sub
stantial vote than with merely a
token one—though he’ll get the
job either way.
Vital Reminder
Every vote in every election
reminds ALL of our public offi
cials that the people still have
the power to determine who shall
rule them.
i
Every honest vote in every
election, no matter what the sub
ject, is a vital thread in that
safety line which American boys
have suffered and died to hold
firm against tyranny anywhere. '
He who fails to exercise his
right to vote—and to keep every
election clean and honest—is let
ting down those who have fought
and died for freedom, and be
traying his own children and his

Answer to Question No. 1:
1. Yes, fat people have more
falls and other accidents than
persons of normal weight. But
there are other dangers in ex
cess weight, in addition to the
tendency toward accidents. Fat
kills in two ways, by promoting
disease and by making various
; diseases more deadly. These
factors add to the long list of
reasons for maintaining reason
able weight, in addition to the
factor of appearance.
Answer to Question No. 2:
2. In comparison with 1930
there is very little smallpox in
the United States today. Sta
tistics show a total of 34 cases
last year in comparison with
48,907 cases in 1930—a triumph
for immunization and one of the
great victories in public health.

VISITOR: “Is that the way
pecans look?” a young lady, ob
viously a tourist, inquired one
day this week as she walked un
der the sign of Pecan Man Coop
er Jones, who hangs net bags of
pecans under the swinging sign.
She probably never saw pecans
in anything but a cellophane bag,
shelled.
GUESTS at Tuesday’s meeting
of the Kiwanis Club included
Judge Mallory C. Atkinson of
Macon, Charles Fincher of Eaton
ton, Dick Townsend of Macon
and Dr. Marvin Greene of Perry.
HERE WE GO AGAIN - : Gov.
Herman Talmndge held out the
olive branch of peace to the mem- |
bers of the Georgia Press Associ
ation again at Savannah last
weekend, saying he wanted to
work with the newspapers to
build a greater Georgia. He said
something similar last year when
we met in Atlanta, and then we
papers found his supporters in
troducing bills to damage the
press. We hope this last state ■
ment holds good—even through
the next session of the legisla
ture. The press will go half way
with Governor Talmadge or any
other governor on constructive
legislation. His speech, which is
carried elsewhere in this issue,
was good. There is no question
about his having improved the
services offered to Georgians by
their state. Whether the servic
es are in proportion to extra tax
es remains to be seen.
Army, Navy Needs
The continued need for addi
tional Women Medical Special
ists in the Army Medical Serv
ice was again stressed today by
S./Sgt. Jewell C. Burnett, Army
and Air Force Recruiter.
According to Sgt. Burnett, The
Surgeon General of the Army
announced a plan in January
j 1951 aimed at the recruitment of
472 additional reserve officers to
include 247 Dietitians, 179 Phys
ical Therapists, and 146 Occupa-
I tional Therapists to meet the an
ticipated expansion of the Army
Medical Service. However, to
date there have been procured
only 22 Dietitians, 6 Physical
) Therapists, and 16 Occupational
| Therapists throughout the na
i tion.
Information as to requirements
j and procedure for making appli
, cation for commission may be
obtained by contacting the Macon
I Recruiting Station, 337 Cotton
Ave.,
Doctors state that infants should
be vaccinated soon after birth
or, at the latest, before the age
of three. The duration of the
protection varies.
Answer to Question No. 3:
3. A stomach ulcer is a small
area of the stomach wall where
living tissue has been destroyed.
The exact cause is unknown
but there are several contribut
ing factors common to many
cases. There is a tendency in
some families toward ulcers. If
a person abuses his stomach con
stantly by eating his food too hot
or too cold, by failing to chew
it properly or by eating too high
ly seasoned foods he may devel
op an ulcer. Emotional pressure
is blamed by many doctors.
