Of Riddle Family
A real good time in general
was enjoyed at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Roe Riddle at Cave
Springs, Sunday. Wed¬
The day marke the 51st
ding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Riddle and over 150 friends and
relatives gathered at the home.
The Dade County Five, com¬

Gray, Messrs. Russell Riddle,
Hugh McKaig and Norman Brad¬
ford, furnished the music. This
“combinaton” can really make

talking about), that there were
lots of good eats for all.
The Times wishes for Mr. and

Talmadge Mad Over
Cocking Incident;
Hints More Action
Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—(GPS)
—Governor Talmadge is a fight¬
ing man when he gets mad—and
he’s mad over the Cocking inci¬
dent. The Chief Executive didn’t
like it a bit when the State
Board of Regents, by a vote of
8 to 7, voted to retain Dr. Wal¬
ter D. Cocking as dean of edu¬
cation at the University of Geor¬
gia. The Governor had charged
that Dr. Cocking advocated
racial doctrines contrary to the
Southern tradition and that the
Dean’s contract not be renewed.
Since that little incident. Gov¬
ernor Talmadge has let it be
known that he might attack the
budget of the University System
of Georgia because of the action
the regents took. The Governor
did not say directly that he plan¬
ned to drop Dr. Cocking from
the budget, but hinted strongly
at such a step in a lengthy state¬
ment in which he reviewed the
Cocking trial. Dean Cocking re¬
ceives a salary of $5,250 annual¬
ly.
In another move since the board
reversed him, the Governor has
instructed the state auditor to
furnish him with a list of “all
these foreign professors” in the
State University System and said
“we are going to have a little
fun.” Asked if this meant that
he planned to purge the state
colleges of all non-Georgia pro¬
fessors, the Governor replied: “I
ain’t saying what I’m going to
do. I’m going to look them over
and see who have been bragging
about the big salaries they could
get elsewhere. I’m going to help
them get those bigger salaries.”
He further said that he was
“especially” going to help such
professors get bigger salaries if
they were not native Georgians,
adding: “I never did think that
these foreign professors were
smarter than our own Geor¬
gians.” Dr. Cocking was bom in
Iowa.

NAME AND ADDRESS OF
PERSON WHO WILL ALWAYS
KNOW YOUR ADDRESS: Give
the name of a person who will
not be apt to move around with
you. In the last registration
many men gave their wives
names in answer to this ques¬
tion, forgetting that wives gen¬

and this caused many delays dur¬
ing the mailing of questionnaries.
Do not give your employer’s
name, as this information is stat¬

or your mother, or some other
relative with whom you will

your place of -employment or
business is located.
This is all the information you

thing else you want the Local
Board to know about you can
be written into your question¬
narie when you receive it.
Study these questions careful¬
ly, and be sure to write down
the correct answers and take
them with you when you report
at the nearest Local Board to

ONLY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTY.
TOMORROW’S’ SUN
By J. C. WILSON
Newspaper Features, Inc.
Governor Talmadge in a re¬
cent radio broadcast
the power shortage in Georgia
as “imaginary.” He might as well
have described the war in Eur¬
ope as “imaginary.” He may
have been trying to reassure the
people in other sections concern¬
ing our ultimate survival. He
may have been trying to be
facetious. If so, he was facetious
about a deadly serious emergen¬
cy.
Two unprecedented events have
combined to bring about the
Georgia Power Company’s power
shortage. First, an unprecedented
drought. Second, and unpreced¬
ented demand for power, arising
out of the national defense pro¬
gram.
Under normal conditions, the
power company’s lakes would
have at this season the water
equivalent of 136 kilowatt hours.
Actually they have about 35
million. Under normal conditions
Lake Burton would be nearly
full, with water equivalent of 90
million hours. Instead, the water
has been drawn down SIXTY
FEET, leaving Burton with a
water capacity of only eight mil¬
lion kilowatt hours.
The company’s steam generat¬
ing plants are running full blast,
but the steam plants by them¬
selves do not produce sufficient
power to supply the state’s needs.
The only answer, therefore, is
REDUCED CONSUMPTION. Iii a
very strong appeal to the public
the company declares:
“To hold the present^eupply of
water, which is absolutely vital,
there must be a general one-
third reduction in the use of
electricity by EVERYBODY. The
only exceptions are national de¬
fense activities and public ser¬
vices, such as hospitals, water¬
works, etc.”
Factories using electric power
have responded in a fine spirit.
What the company now needs
is reduced consumption in homes,
stores, etc. Every individual light
bulb counts. If you are not ac¬
tually using it, turn it off. The
same for fans and all electric
utensils.
Kirk Sultive says it’s so dry
in Arizona that water is worth
more than gasoline. That’s liter¬
ally the truth of Mr. Arkwright’s
situation. He is burning gasoline
in giant motor buses replacing
street cars and trolley buses, in
order to conserve that precious
water in the power lakes.
In the recent referendum elec¬
tion on constitutional amend¬
ments, the No. 1 amendment on
the ballot provided for a four-
term for Governor. The

McLLEOD ORDERS
“CRACK DOWN” ON
CHILD LABOR
ATLANTA, Ga., June 17.—
With the closing of school
throughout the South, J. R. Mc¬
Leod, Regional Director of the
Wage and Hour Division for
Georgia, Florida and South Caro¬
lina, has given orders to hi s in¬
spection forces to “crack down”
harder than ever on violations of
the child labor provisions of fthe
Fair Labor Standards Act.
In announcing his “crack
down” order, Mr. McLeod call¬
ed attention to the general pro¬
visions of the Act, which forbid
“oppressive child labor” in the
manufacture, production or dis¬
tribution of goods for interstate
commerce. Regulations issued by
the Children’s Bureau under Sec¬
tion 12 of the Fair Labor Stand¬
ards Act are particularly string¬
ent, Mr. McLeod said, with ref¬
erence to work by children be¬
tween 14 and 16 years of age.
These forbid the employment of
children under any circumstnces
in the following occupations:
Manufacturing, mining or pro¬
cessing occupations including du¬
ties in workrooms or work
places where goods are manufac¬
tured, mined or processed.
Occupation involving operation
or tending hoisting apparatus or
any power driven machinery
other than office machines.
Operation of motor vehdes or
as helpers on them.
Public messenger service.
Children of the ages may be
employed, however, in other and
non-hazardous occupations pro¬
vided they work:
Outside school hours.
Not more than 40 hours a week
when school is not in session.
Not more than 18 hours a
week when school is in session.
Not more than 8 hours a day
when school is not in session.
Not more than 3 hours a day
when school is in session.
All work for children of these
ages must be confined to the
hours between 7 A. M. and 7 P.
M., except in the distribution of
newspapers, except that until
September 30 the evening limit
is 8 P. M. However, even in the
distribution of newspapers they
cannot be employed both in the
forenoon and the afternoon. In
other words, the child cannot
carry a route for both morning
and evening newspapers the same
day.
Since the Act makes no pro¬
vision for the employment of
children under 14 years of age,
Mr. McLeod said the presump¬
tion is that their employment in
interstate commerce for any pur¬
pose or in any occupation i s for¬
bidden.
Other regulations govenj the
hiring of older children Which
are not quite so stringent. How¬
ever, in any case, Mr. McLeod
warns, it is incumbent upon the
employer of children to be in
position to prove the age of the
children he employs. This can be
done only, he said, by production
of a State and Federal certificate
of age. Oral evidence, said Mr.
McLeod, will never be accepted
by Wage and Hour Standards inspectors.
The Fair Labor Act
does not interfere with the em¬
ployment of a child by his par¬
ents, or those standing in the
place of parents, provided it is
not in one of the hazardous oc¬
cupations.
WPA, Sewing Room
Projects To Be
Discontinued
Efffective, possibly Monday,
the Dade County WPA road and
sewing room projects will be
discontinued, W. J. Green, WPA
Supervisor for this district, an¬
nounced this week.
The cause of the shut-down,
of the projects, Mr. Green says,
is due to the appropriation
measures recently passed by
Congress, making it necessary to
reduce quota. The measures
were passed by Congress because
of so much more labor being
used in the national defense pro¬
gram. The project of finishhing
the Davis Junior High School
on Sand Mountain will be con¬
tinued, however, until completed,
Mr. Green stated. At present,
there are approximately forty-
five on the road projects and
thirteen women employed on the
sewing work. Operation of these
two projects will be resumed as
soon as the quota will permit,
the supervisor said.
Mr. Green said som e eight
other sewing rooms and quite a
number of various types of pro¬
jects will be closed along with
Dade’s. Also, that several other
projects in other counties in this
district would be stopped as
soon as the jobs were completed.
It is estimated that a total of
12,000 ton s of tin cans are dump-
=>d on the rubbish piles of this
country each year.
One-fourth of all drownlngs
occur during the month of July.
