GROOM State Forest Fire Warden “Let us indluge in the hope that one of these fine days all the ' Georgia from mountains to sea will arise in all her strength, | majesty and power, and declare j that the potential wealth of the next generation shall be protect¬ ed from the carelessness and criminal negligence of the ig-1 norant and unthinking,” assert¬ ed Judge O. T. Gower of Cordele, in a talk at a ten-county forest fire conference at Macon recent¬ ly. His words echoed around the room as county commissioners; landowners, saw-mill operators and others were inspired to try to do something in their county to stop the tremendous waste caused by forest fires. Figures were given showing that in Bibb county, where there is a Forest Fire Protection Unit costing the county $1,800, fire losses this year were ap¬ proximately only $7,000. Adjoin¬ ing counties, which could have been protected for $3,000, had an estimated fire loss of $100,000. J. M. Tinker, director, Georgia Department of Forestry, spoke at the conference and told how the State could help finance part of the counties’ cost of fire protection. He urged that all county commissioners wishing information and help towards establishing forest fire protec¬ tion units write to him at the State Capitol. Motorists Urged To Care for Automobiles Informed by American Auto¬ mobile Associations officials that 150,000 passenger cars are being retired from the highways monthly and that replacements will become increasingly difficult Governor Ellis Arnall has issued an appeal to motorists to exer¬ cise care in handling their auto¬ mobiles so as to lengthen the time they can be used. He said: “The automobile tire situation is becoming more critical each day. It is essential that motor¬ ists maintain low rates of speed in order to preserve automobile tires. This is an essential war¬ time duty devolving itself upon us all. Accordingly, at the sug¬ gestion of the War Production Board, I am urging all Georgians to cooperate in the war program by maintaining low speed rates. An automobile tire lasts twice as long at a 35-mile speed than at a speed of 45. Let’s keep Ameri¬ ca mobile by going further slow¬ er. Let’s cooperate in preserv¬ ing our rubber supply.” Guardian’s Citation GEORGIA—Dade County: To All Whom it May Concern: Mrs. Allie Morrison, a resident of this state, having in due form applied to the undersigned for the guardianship of the person and property of Blanche Wells, incompetent, notice is hereby given that said application will be heard at the next Court of Ordinary for said County on the first Monday in May, 1944. WITNESS my hand and offi¬ cial signature, this 4th day of April, 1944. J. M. CARROLL, Ordinary, Dade County, Georgia. Year’s Support Citation GEORGIA—Dade County: To All Whom it May Concern: The appraisers upon applica¬ tion of Mi's. Callie Powell, widow of said Edward Garfield Powell, deceased, for a twelve month’s support for herself and three minor children, having filed the their return, all person concern¬ ed are hereby cited to show cause, if any they have, at the next regular May term of this Court why said application should not be granted. This 4th day of April, 1944. J. M. CARROLL, Ordinary, Dade County, Georgia. The story goes that once there war a little girl came with in from| her going down town brothers and exclaimed, “Mother. I ran all the way home from our Sunday School superinten¬ dent!” The mother, being as¬ tonished, quickly asked the child why she ran from him, she said. “Well, mother, you know he al¬ ways comes by on Sunday and takes me by the hand and says, ‘let’s go to Sunday School.’ Well, I heard him tell a man he was going on down the street and go to the picture show, and you said the picture show was Sa¬ tan’s playhouse, and I was afraid he would want me to go to the playhouse .with him and I ran away so he wouldn’t ask me to go.” I wonder how many Sunday School superintendents there are today that a child would have to run from? I know a boy 14 years old that came in one day and said to his mother, “Mother, you don’t want me to go to Sun¬ day ball games because it is a sin and is not keeping the Sab¬ bath Day holy, and I happen to know that the president of our BYPU goes and also plays ball every other Sunday, and you all must think he is all right—he is our leader.” The mother tried to explain to the boy that our leader was very much out of place and that it did not make it right because he played ball on Sunday. But there is the stumbling block for all to see— just like the picture show going of the Sunday School superin¬ tendent. Older people should be very careful what they do and how they act so as not to be a stumb¬ ling block to others, especially younger folks. The Bible says to “abstain from all appearance of evil, and cleave unto that which is good,” for that somebody is watching everybody else trying to find excuses for wrong do¬ ings. Some will say there is no harm in a picture show or a Sunday ball game. Certainly not —if they are let alone. There is no harm in money, either—the harm comes from the human side of it. “The love of money is the roots of all evil.” Not the money itself, but the love ana greed for owning and ruling the world is the cause of the awful war. God gave us this world as our earthly home to live in -with all its beauty and blessings to enjoy and provide every man for his own household. Then, some fellow comes along and thinks he can have more wealth and power by whipping all nations to his own say-so and thereby, rule the world, and by that, thousands of men, boys, women and children have been slain. What for? Love of wealth and power. The battle grounds are satan’s slaughter houses; the picture shows, swimming pools and card parties and Sunday ball games are his playhouses. There have been men killed over a card game; many a girl can trace her downfall to the swim¬ ming pool; many crimes have been committed through picture show ideas; lives have been taken through ball game argu¬ ments, and so on and on it goes. Satan’s playhouse doors are al¬ ways open, and stumbling blocks are the steps by which the younger generation enters. I wish there was a move to put them .off the face of the earth. I would certainly like to cast a big vote in that direction. —Mrs. Will Bradford.

CURRENT STATUS OF NAZI AIR ARM WASHINGTON. - The Germans have been able to get together enough bombing planes to stage a new campaign against London. The number of planes at their bases back in from the French coast indicates they may be able to send over 50 to 100 planes three or four nights a week. That is all there seems to be be¬ hind their heavy scale (150 to 200 bomber) attacks on the British capi¬ tal in mid-month. Our best check lends confidence to the conviction that they cannot sustain even such a moderate scale offensive as that one, and have no facilities to expand their newly opened air front. Stories have been circulated that the bombings of London have been more severe than officially report¬ ed. There may be some truth in this general suspicion since it is not considered good military cus¬ tom to divulge bombing damage. But the more significant truths of the situation are simply these: About six weeks ago the Germans renewed small scale night air at¬ tacks using about 50 planes one or two nights a week (one week five attacks). They hit some south Eng¬ land cities but concentrated mainly upon London. Their raids necessarily were pot¬ shot hit-and-run bombings on large area targets. No accurate attack on a war industry center has been made. They may have hit some military objectives, but their main objective plainly was to offset psy¬ chologically the effect of British- American raids on Germany with some show of encouraging retalia¬ tion. If they could get the planes, they might make it hurt, because their bases are closer to their objective than ours are. But great stores and replacements are needed for sus¬ tained air campaigns and these the Germans obviously do not have. The most they can do, therefore, is to knock down some buildings, start fires and cause suffering and death to the British civilian popula¬ tion. They cannot impede concen¬ trations for the second front by pre¬ cision bombings, or bring decisive consequences of any military na¬ ture. <§> 4> WHERE EDUCATION HAS FALLEN DOWN If anyone tries to tell you the American schools have not broken down in both scholarships and disci¬ pline, cite to them these following facts: The navy found incoming fresh¬ men at the leading universities so far below its educational standards, it had to institute the V program. In a test to 4,200 freshmen at 27 leading universities, 68 per cent were unable to pass the arithmetic test, and 62 per cent failed the whole test. Among the same candi¬ dates for naval reserve officers training, only 10 per cent had taken elementary trigonometry in high schools, only 23 per cent had more than a year and a half of math. But, in order to enroll the number of men needed by the navy, Ad¬ miral Nimitz wrote in a letter to Professor Bredvold of the Univer¬ sity of Michigan, November 21, 1941, that “it was found necessary at one of the training stations to lower the standards in 50 per cent of the ad¬ missions ...” Not half the graduates of the ele¬ mentary schools in Tennessee today can read and write well. The con¬ dition is exposed in an article in the Tennessee Teacher by School Super¬ intendent H. I. Callahan, who says: “The testimony of high school principals and teachers bears wit¬ ness to the fact that more than half the children finishing the eighth grade in Tennessee schools are un¬ able to read with ease, comprehen¬ sion, and pleasure; that they are very poor in the elementary me¬ chanics of written English.” It is impossible to teach the prod¬ ucts of lax elementary schools a foreign language in college, as Dr. T. Braxton Woody, University of Virginia School of Romance Lan¬ guages, says: "As the sorry products of pro¬ gressive education filter into our classrooms, the problem of what to do with them becomes more and more acute. It is really unreason¬ able to expect them to learn a for¬ eign language since our modern edu¬ cators have failed lamentably in their efforts to sugar-coat the pill (of learning) . . .’’ WHAT CHILDREN MISS If the parent will sit down with his high school child one night, he will find the average cannot figure the area of a floor if the sides are given in feet and inches; cannot name three countries in every con¬ tinent; they would not know the cap¬ itals of sue states, or five rivers in the United States or any country. (A Philadelphia teacher, name with¬ held.) Teachers are required to pass pu¬ pils even if they do not do the work and this has created a generation of lazy, spineless boys. (A teacher). The Times, $1.50! EAT HEARTY, MATES r Canadian sailor tossing and rolling in the “bird cage” on the seasick¬ ness machine at the Montreal Neurological Institute. npHE bane of seagoing men since X the first canoe was launched, seasickness, can be cured in three out of four susceptible persons by means of a secret capsule discovered and now manufactured by the Royal Canadian Navy. Intensive research has been carried on in the Montreal Neurological Institute under Dr. Wilder Penfield, and by the Royal Canadian Navy Medical Research Unit under Surg. Capt. C. H. Best, RCNVR. „ The new remedy is simply a pink capsule, in appearance much like an ordinary cold capsule. The for¬ mula must remain a secret and likely will not be available for civ¬ ilian use until after the war. Now it means that troops can be landed from invasion barges in good physical condition and ready for intense fighting. Most persons susceptible to seasickness develop an immunity after a few days at sea. but invasion troops are rarely in landing craft more than a few hours, during which the remedy is of vital military importance. Pre¬ liminary indications are that the remedy is equally effective against airsickness. The remedy is taken by mouth one to tw’o hours before sailing or in rough weather, and is effective for eight hours. Additional capsules may be taken every eight hours Surg. Lieut. William S. Fields, RCNVR, an American, has been ac¬ tively engaged in seasickness re¬ search for more than two years with the Royal Canadian Navy Medical Research Unit. for two days, and may be repeated if the subject has not then found his "sea legs”. As the result of thousands of position experiments and other re¬ search the basic cause of seasick¬ ness is now known to be a malad¬ justment of the equilibrium appa¬ ratus in the inner ear, caused by its inability to adjust itself to con- tinrrtd rapid changes in position. The extreme importance of avoid¬ ing seasickness is indicated to the fact that about 40 per cent of all persons are susceptible to It under' normal sea conditions, and this pep centage rises in rough weather Governor Completes Talks With State Department Heads The Governor of Georgia fin¬ ished last week his series of con¬ ferences with the departmental heads of the state in regard to the work of their various depart¬ ments. Some said this was the first time a governor had ever called them in for a heart-to- heart private conference, when they could talk over the business of their agencies without var¬ ious and sundry being present to interfere with effective consul¬ tation. “All are rendering expanded services comparable or better than those in the past,” said Arnall. “They are cooperating in the financial retrenchment pro¬ gram made necessary by war de¬ velopments, all being cognizant of the State’s fiscal difficulties. If I had to reappoint officials for the departments, I would re¬ name every one.” STATEPARKSTO OPEN APRIL 15 Georgia’s state parks will formally open to the public on Saturday, April 15, it has been announced by R.
