Old Cars Yield
Defense Metal
Automobiles that have been
consigned to the fate of riding
the dusty, dirty junkyards of
Little Rock, Ark., are being
brought to life.
This time not to purr along
tibbons of highways, but to be
a much greater boon to mankind.
Yes, these old flivvers are being
gathered up out of their debris-
strewn graves to become formid¬
able long-range guns, deadly
missiles of destruction, heavily
armored tanks and anything else
which requires steel or iron in
its construction.
There are many of these un¬
sightly junkyards in and around
Little Rock and the work of
clearing them away has been set
in motion.
A newly invented hydraulic
machine was brought here and
into its yawning jaws go the old
bodies, fenders and running gear,
to come out tightly pressed into
compact bundles, ready for ship¬
ment to eastern and northern
steel mills.
Arriving at the mills, the old
cars will be melted into cast iron
and steel. Conversion from that
stage to guns and tanks for de¬
fense will be carried out at other
factories, to which the metal will
be sent later.
The new machine accomplishes
the heretofore impossible feat of
compressing the scrap iron and
steel into bundles, small enough
to ship with minimum of diffi¬
culty. Old car bodies are com¬
pressed in such a manner so as to
allow 75,000 to 100,000 tons of
this metal to be shipped in the
same amount of space that prev-
ously would only accomodate
25,000 tons of the same metal.
And so goes the “T”, once pop¬
ular sports touring jobs that were
in their heyday 10 or 15 years
back.
A gruesome maze of pipes, lev¬
ers, wicked looking jaws and
compressing plates, the machine
that gobbles up the old wrecks
can flatten a car boddy into a
16 by 16 by 24-inch bundle,
weighing 250 pounds, and load
it on a freight car in two min¬
utes flat.
LEGION PLEDGES
SUPPORT OF ‘FDR’
VALDOSTA, (AP) —Defense-
minded Georgia Legionnaries re¬
turned home Thursday under the
new leadership of a World War
aviator and with a pledge to sup¬
port total war if it is necessary
to stop the “murdering, plunder¬
ing Axis powers.” (1)
They adopted, resolutions
■upporting President Roosevelt’s
foreign policy; (2) expressing
“pity” for isolationists who “put
their own political futures above
safety of the nation” and (3) as¬
sailing strikes that paralize vi¬
tal defense industries. They also
asked a purge of Communists
from government and defense
jobs. Wednesday’s

State to Stripe Patrol Cars
For Night Identification
Hope to Prevent More Mistake Shootings;
Portable “Navy” Added To Equipment
State Patrol cruise cars are to
be marked with distinctive white
stripes and the patrol plan s to
add a “Navy” to its “rolling
: lock.”
This was announced last week
by Captain J. J. Elliott, com¬
manding officer, as painters be¬
gan applying broad stripes and
letters to 56 cars used by troop¬
ers in cruising highways of the
state.
The stripe will be six inches
wide. Inside the stripe on each
side of the car will be the words
“Georgia State Patrol” in five-
inch black letters. A red light on
the right fender of each cruise
car silhouetting the words “State
Patrol” will be used at night
when troopers stop passenger ve¬
hicles for investigation or warn¬
ing, it was explained.
The new means of identifica¬
tion were ordered to prevent pos¬
sibility of mistaken identity
shootings similar to one recent¬
ly in which a Georgian was be¬
lieved to have opened fire on
Wilburn Seeks To
Save Road Funds
The Georgia Highwty Depart¬
ment plans to try to salvage
$3,500,000 in federal funds which
with state money would provide
$7,000,000 for road construction.
This must be done before June
30 by completing “project agree¬
ments,” Highway Board Ch|air-
man W. E. Wilburn says. This
would involve dollar-for-dollar
matching of the federal funds un¬
der the 1939 and 1940 federal aid
program. Many of the agree¬
ments have been made, he said.
Completion of a project agree¬
ment doses not necessarily call
for letting of a contract im¬
mediately, Mr. Wilburn explain¬
ed, but would serve to hold
federal funds.” The 1939-40 fed¬
eral money is subject to with¬
drawal unless the agreements
are arranged by June 30.
The Federal Bureau of Roads
has penalized Georgia
for Georgia’s diversion of state
highway funds.
June Peaches are O.K.
Don’t let anybody tell you and
make you believe that June
peaches (off the tree) will make
you sick.
Sunday afternoon we were a-
mong a party that made a raid
on Jiles Gass’ orchard on Sand
Mountain. Jiles had plenty of
nice, red June peaches, which
simply means that we ate plenty
of nice, red June peaches.... fact
is, w e were somewhat disturbed
and more or less worried of what
could have benn the effects of
our indulgence, but lo! and be¬
hold! there were no ill effects
and we say “Orchids” • to Jile’s
Orchard.....We’ll be back, too.

j Therefore, you may take such
articles wijth you, but they are
not necessary.
“Leave jewelry, large sums of
money and other valuables at
, home, for they nfay easily be
lost. If possible, take a little
spending money for such needs
as you may have before your
first payday. Take some postal
cards or stationery and stamps,
a fountain pen and an inexpen¬
sive watch, if you have them.
“Leave your automobile or
motorcycle at home. If you are
accepted, your commanding of¬
ficer will tell you whether you
may have it at the post and, if
sp, you may have an opportunity
to get it.
“It takes time for the army to
assign you to your permanent
military unit. Keep in touch with
your friends and family, but ask
them not to write to you until
you have a definite and complete
address to which mail will be de¬
livered. As soon as you are in¬
troopers thinking they were
hold-up men. The troopers re¬
turned the fire in self-defense
and the citizen was killed.
The identification mark will
not be applied to the more than
40 machines used by investiga¬
tors and commissioned officers
of the patrol because of the se¬
cret nature of the work to which
these cars are often assigned.
The patrol Saturday “chisten-
ed” the first unit of its “navy”—
a four-passenger rowboat with
outboard motor. This craft will
be used in recovering bodies or
evidence from rivers and lakes.
It will be transported to scenes
of operations nestled in a rack
which may be attached to the
roof of any cruise car by means
of vacuum cups, Captain Elliott
explained.
The patrol recently acquired
16 new motorcycles and is to re¬
ceive 10 more. The machines are
used mainly for handling pa¬
rades, Army convoys and for op¬
erating in congested traffic
areas.
Chatt. Vaudeville
Club Here Friday Nite
Those who failed to see the
show presented here Friday
night by Uncle Ben and his Chat¬
tanooga Vaudeville Club, really
missed something.
It was a high class presentat¬
ion, featuring Delbert Falk’s
Electric Orchestra; Stowe ,the
Magician and Miss Pearl Banks
Stowe, the 15-year-old Ventrilo-
juist.
To say the least, th e all-electric
orchestra was excellent, and the
ventriloquist was one of the best,
though she was only 15 years of
age. Stowe, the magician, was
“plenty good”, holding the small
audience spell-bound with his
clever slight of hand tricks.
Uncle Ben said he would be
glad to come back some time in
the near future, and we hope he
does.

NINE-TENTHS OF
GAME LAWS ARE
ATTY.-GEN ELLIS ARNALL
MACON, Ga., June
—Attorney General Ellis
declared Thursday that
nine-tenths of our local

convention, Amall urged a
ordinated program designed

communities and county that
uniform system of game and
laws, conforming to nature’s
in so far as possible, will
serve the interest of our
citizenry.”
“We need a long-term
agement program in

should create a constitutional

Life Department will be

ers, sportsmen, hunters and
ermen desire inaugurated.
“It is a shame that Georgia
one of only two sister states

difficult to understand why
‘powers that be’ deprive
people of sharing in the
program designed to bring

Some 500 officials and

Years Anticipated
From all drections
point toward Georgia’s
peach crop being the largest
finest in ten years. In
the Georgia Association of

crop of 12,885 carloads by
end of the season, the largest
10 years. In Washington, D.
the U. S. Agriculture
estimates Georgia’s crop at
159.000 bushels, compared

216.000 bushels, the largest

Secure New Driver’s
Licenses—Goodwin
Commissioner John E. Good¬
win, of the Department of Pub¬

fact that there is only 15 more
days in which to secure Driver’a
License.
In a statement today
Goodwin pointed out that a
many people seem to think

all one license, however, this
a mistake, as there will be
difference in the number of
person’s license—each person
holding the same Driver’s License
number held in former years. The
Family Driver’s License Law
only changes the price of
wife’s and children’s license.

that road checks on automobiles
would not be made until after
that date, giving every one a
chance to get their license.

$1.50 PER YEAR
Plans for the Special “Progress
Edition” of The Dade County
Times, to be issued in the near
future, are well under way and
everyone is co-operating in every
way possible.
We have received numerous
inquiries regarding the special
Edition and local sentiment high¬
ly favors its issuance.
As stated in our last week’s
issue, the principal object in
publishing the “Progress Edition”
is to tell the outside world just
what is being done in Dade
County and the possibilities here.
Special articles with reference
to our resources, agriculture,
schools, churches, civic clubs,
lodges and many more will be in
the columns of the Edition.
We appreciate very much the
splendid cooperation of the citi¬
zens and business men of the
county and we believe this “Pro¬
gress Edition” will be an Edition
which will mean lots to our
county and this section.
We plan to publish some four
or five thousand copies of the
issue, sending them to various
parts of the country. We should
receive national publicity as a
result of this Edition.

control of which he will complain
bitterly later on. The labor lead¬
er who seizes the same emergen¬
cy to organize the indifferent to
fight some competing organiza¬
tion, or to serve political ends,
is breeding the same kind of re¬
strictive legislaton, and he will
squawk just as loudly when it
comes.
What the country wants is
that men shall continue working,
continue turning out the arms
which the people have decided
they must have while the argu¬
ment goes on.
It is true that in foregoing im¬
mediate action, labor gives up
the most. But employers have al¬
so in many cases undertaken im¬
portant government contracts
under vague conditions, trusting
that eventually the government
will deal fairly with them. It is
that faith in an eventual fair
deal that is promised by the set¬
tling up of the National Defense
Mediation Board. There is every
reason for confidence that it will
handle cases with justice to both
labor and employers. That con¬
fidence justifies keeping the
wheels tumng while points at is¬
sue are settled.
Labor and management-owner¬
