PAGE FOUR “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 s F. C.

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.

Forester and children visited his mother, Mrs. John Lee Forester, and other relatives last Sunday.

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.

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. 3 From where I sit...

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.
