No recent act of Senator Rich¬
ard B. Russell has received more
widespread commendation than
his wholehearted support of fed¬
eral legislation providing hot
lunches for Georgia school chil¬
dren. An apparently unimport¬
ant piece of legislation it is un¬
questionably vitally important to
the health and physical fitness
to every school child in Georgia.
That Senator Russell’s active
support of the measure has re¬
ceived unanimous approval of
the P.-T.A. is natural and merit¬
ed. Nothing is more essential to
the country than proper care of
its children and nothing is more
important than proper food.
Without federal assistance at
this time it appears inevitable
that a large majority of school
children will go undernourished
to a serious degree.

Young Willjam E. (Billy) Dix¬
on of Macon, recently received
a medical discharge after serv¬
ing eight months in the U. S.
Army. He has returned home and
resumed his studies at the Uni¬
versity of Georgia. Last week he
started what this writer believes
will be a brilliant political career
when he announced as a candi¬
date for the state legislature
from Bibb County. In announc¬
ing his candidacy Dixon said
“Veterans of this world wide
conflict are going to demand
good government in Georgia
when they return, and the best
way to insure them representa¬
tion is to elect a veteran.” Al¬
though young in years (age 26),
Dixon has a total of more than
seven years experience in public
life. He has held various secre¬
tarial positions in the House of
Representatives where he has
known personally all members
of the House and Senate for the
past several years. He has also
been active in the activities of
the University of Georgia for the
past three years, the proving
ground for so many of our out¬
standing men. Billy is. a natural
in politics—young, dynamic, per¬
sonable, and a rattling good
stump speaker. He has stumped
the state twice, speaking in
every one of Georgia’s one hund¬
red and fifty-nine counties. In
1940, he attended the National
Democratic committee meeting
in Chicago as an aide to the
Georgia delegation. Political ab-
servers are predicting that the
young man will win his race and
that he will enter the guberna¬
torial race in 1954. “And he’ll be
well qualified, with his training,”
they declare. They point to the
present governor, the youngest
chief executive in the nation,
who also started early in poli¬
tics. “To many, it seems the path
of Dixon may run a parallel to
that of Governor Arnall,” they
said. And as for Dixon, he ad¬
mitted, when questioned, that
being governor of the Empire
State of the South has always
been one of his highest ambi¬
tions. Love and luck from one
old “Vet” to another, Billy.—

Any impartial analysis of the
dramatic withdrawal of Wendell
Wilkie as a candidate for the
Republican nomination leads to
only one logical conclusion. That
is that Wilkie is definitely a man
of independent thought and ac¬
tion and will not be dictated to
by a group of reactionaries and
Liberty Leaguers who would foul
their own nests and pollute their
own party rather than have a
man like Wilkie who unques¬
tionably has the confidence and
respect of the public generally
and Is regarded as a man of
courage and integrity. Whatever
may be the ultimate results of
Wilkie’s withdrawal, two are ai-
ready self-evident and one is
that the Republican party is
dominated by the Hoover-Land-
on brand of old-guard Republi¬
cans that led the country into
such a morass of political ineffi¬
ciency and corruption that only
a man of the character and a-
bility of Franklin Roosevelt could
save the country from complete
financial disaster. Observers
seem agreed that the reactionary
element of the Republican party
is now free to nominate their
fair-headed boy, Dewey, with
little or no opposition of the
convention floor. The Republi¬
cans will then ask the public to
place a man in the White House
who will take the bidding of par¬
ty thimble-riggers as did Hard¬
ing, and in a measure, Hoover.
That this is hardly a time to
place a man in the White House

What Did You Do
Today?
The following poem was sent
in by Mrs. William H. Hawkins,
whose husband, who is stationed
overseas, sent it to her and re¬
quested that it be published in
The Dade County Times. Pfc.
Hawkins is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Hawkins of Rising
Fawn. The poem follows:
By Lt. Dean Shatlain, Tank
Commander (Written on a
battlefield in Africa)
What did you do, today, my
friend,
From morning till the night?
How many times did you com¬
plain
That rationing was too tight?
When are you going to start to
do
All of the things you say?
A soldier would like to know, my
friend,
What did you do today?
We met the enemy today
And took the town by storm.
Happy reading it will make
For you without a thorn.
You’ll read with satisfaction,
The brief communique,
We fought, but are you fighting?
What did you do today?
My gunner died in my arms to¬
day,
I feel his farm blood yet;
Your neighbor’s dying boy
I-------- Gave out A. a -------T,ll scream I’ll ne - er f or
_
get.
On my right a tank was hit,
A flash and then a fire,
The stench of burning flesh
Still rises from the pyre.
What did you do today, my
friend,
To help with the task,
Did you work hard and long for
less,
Or is that too much to ask?
“What right have I to ask you
this?”
You probably will say,
Maybe now you’ll understand,
You see ... I died today.
(Editor’s Note: Lt. Shatlain
amputated his own foot with a
jackknife and thought he was
dying as he wrote this poem. He
was rescued by Americans after
two hours of hiding and is now
recuperating in a hospital in
England .)—New Orleans Item.
