“I Wonder”
By MRS. WILL BRADFORD
Sometimes I wonder about
folks that talk about being loyal
and patriotic, then do so little
about it. Some seem to think
loyalty begins in them, and it
does, but not in staying at
home and being sure they are
protected and safe at some
other fellow’s expense. Loyalty
is being willine and ready at
all times to do whatever comes
our way for our boys that are
making such a sacrifice. They
are over there fighting, toiling
and dying and for what? A safe
America in which those that
left can have to live in, and it’s
not just their war—it’s every¬
body’s (or should be). It makes
my blood boil when I think of
people that seem to value the
dollar and a safe place to stay
more than the boys’ lives. Think
of the boys over there; they
cannot throw down their guns
and quit their planes, leave their
foxholes and dugouts and say
“we won’t fight unless we get
more money per month and get
shorter hours.” These boys are
the poorest paid men at all, and
they do not have the privilege
of being home with their fami¬
lies; they just have to bear it,
and the folks back home do the
grumbling.
When a fellow lays down on
his job for more money under
conditions as they are, he ought
to be forced to the battlefronts
and kept there. Now, don’t get
me wrong and say I’m fighting
the union labor. I was born and
reared in a union family. I
have a brother that is chair¬
man of the union local in the
Southern Railroad machine
shop, and has been for years,
but if he were to deliberately
call a halt for more money or
shorter hours on transportation,
vital as it is to the war effort,
I say take his card away from
him and put him over there in
a foxhole, and let some poor,
tired-out boy that hasn’t
thought of money, come home.
Then there is a class of home-
stayers that is ready to find
fault and grumgle about con¬
tributions to Red Cross workers,
Salvation Army and other
things — they will even ask aid
from them sometimes, and when
what they ask for is not given,
they are ready to knock the
organization. I say God bless
and help every Red Cross work
cr, Salvation Army or any other
band of workers that can or do
contribute one hour’s comfort or
help in any way to the boys ov¬
er there. Those boys deserve
everything we can do for them
in any way; for those boys are
ail sacrificing everything; even
to their lives, for what? Surely,
not for salaries, draft-dodgers
and hide-at-homes! I believe
any true American father,
mother, wife, sister, brother or
sweetheart would fight to the
last* ditch for anything that
would contribute any comfort,
pleasure or service to the boys
over there. But Christ gave His
life a ransom for others who
do not thank Him. and I guess
it’s still going on. Christ did

Georgia Teachers Will
Receive Bonus Of
One ________ Month’s Salary „
Governor Ellis Arnall revealed
dramatically to members of the
Georgia Education Association
at their closing sessions that the
State Administration had pro-
vided funds for one more month
of school salaries, thus opening
the way for use of local funds
to grant a fifteen per cent in-
crease in pay to Georgia teach-
ers.
The Governor’s statement
came at the conclusion of his
scheduled address “The Future
of Education in Georgia,” in
which he reviewed his thesis of
educational freedom and the re-
sponsibilities of educators in
the postwar development of the
state. The prepared address did
not discuss the teacher’s salary
question that had preempted
attention of the educators at
their sessions and in their con-
versations in corridors. Depart-
ing from the prepared manu-
script, Governor Arnall reveal-
ed that state funds totalling
$1,573,940.28 would be made a-
vailable to pay the salary sche-
dule for the eighth month of
school operations in Georgia,
relieving local school units of
that payment which has been
drawn from local taxation and
the Equalization Fund.
The Governor emphasized
that the State, by this action,
was not providing a raise in
pay for the teachers, but that
the local school officials would
have available as a result suf¬
ficient money to provide an in¬
crease in pay of fifteen per
cent.
Funds to meet the added
month’s salary allotment would
be drawn in part from Education
Department surpluses in text¬
books and allotments in part
from an additional grant by the
State Budget Commission, com¬
posed of the Governor and
Auditor.
Governor Arnall’s announced
decision brought the total grant
to common schools this year to
the largest figure in State his¬
tory, approximately four times
the amount paid in 1936 and
approximately $4,500,000 above
the figure for the previous year,
the largest paid in Georgia be¬
fore.

ing home folks this week while
her brother is home from Calif.

of the Social Security Board in
Chattanooga, said last week t
has come to my attention that
e d his viewpoint that the public
school system of the state ex-
isted for the benefit of students,
“in a proper educational est-
ablishment, first consideration
should not go to the teachers,
as important as they are. It j
should always go and must al-
ways go to the boys and girls
for whom education is intend-
e d,” he declared, in driving
home his point that salary in-
creases were designed to keep
qualified teachers in the school-
rooms.
Prompt action by the local
boards and superintendents to
adjust their local fiscal arrange-
ments and to supplement their
present salary scales where in-
adequate is expected all over
Georgia in response to the state
administration’s action.
In other sections of his ad¬
dress, Governor Arnall declared
emphatically that he intended
t G provide the funds for increas-
e d school grants through eco-
nomics in government, and that
while state revenues still were
declining, his administration in¬
tended to pay all existing state
debts without any new tax bill
of any kind.

Get Out And Garden
If in doubt as to whether to
take on the work of a Victory
Garden this season, the decision
should be to do it. Victory Gar¬
deners need to grow just as
much food as is possible, for use
fresh and for storage. This is
the word that comes from the
War Food Administration. The
Office of Price Administration a-
grees. “Future ration values of
canned vegetables,” says Chester
Bowles, “depends on this year’s
Victory Garden.” Victory Gard¬
ening is a war job, an obligation
for everyone who has the time
to do the work can make arrange
ments for a suitable place. A
drop in the point ration values
of some processed foods in March
is regarded by Victory Garden
headquarters as the main reason
for some temporary slackening
with their self-regulation
program.
