Georgia Counties Complete Plans For “Invasion Day” Statewide plans for “Invasion Day” were perfected at a con¬ ference of the Georgia Volun¬ teer War Service Council held in Atlanta a few days ago. Some of the counties had al¬ ready completed their plans, ac¬ cording to reports received. Churches will be open on that day in a number of these for prayer. Some communities will hold ceremonies in each church, whie others wlil conduct exer¬ cises in municipal auditoriums or some other centrally located point where citizens may be reached by one program. In some communities, sirens will blow once each hour for four hours before the ceremonies start. Local radio stations will broadcast the programs in some towns. The State Council feels that the I-Day programs will be valu¬ able to the war effort in two specific ways: First, the word will reach the men in the armed services, that throughtout the nation millions of civilian volun¬ teers are meeting and praying for the quicker winning of the war with the least possible sacri¬ fice of human lives. Second, that ceremonies will serve to offset the wave of optimism which might otherwise result in a di¬ minishing of our civilian contri- butons to the war effort. For instance, the armed forces .have appealed for an increase in the home front’s provisions of food, household fats and greases, tin cans, waste paper, etc., to meet the increased demands brought about by preparation for this and other huge offenses which must come before victory is won. All communities planning ceremonies will be dependent on press and radio for notification of when the invasion is begun. In addition to the plans for I-Day, other topics discussed at the conference were the state¬ wide drive and volunteer crop harvesting. Officials of the State Council are Lon Sullivan, direc¬ tor; George H. Broadnax, assist¬ ant director; Elbert Forester, chief of field services, and Miss Romah Persells, in charge of community organizations.

Trailing School Arranged For 14 Parole Supervisors The fourteen parole supervis¬ ors of the State Board of Par¬ dons and Paroles will attend a training school to be held by the board at Tattnall Prison about the first of June, it was an¬ nounced by Edward B. Everett, chairman of the board. Following the Institute, they will visit pris¬ on camps near Savannah. The purpose of the training schol is to enable the parole supervisors to keep abreast of the times as to work in their field, and to discuss mutual problems regarding supervision of prisoners released from the state penal institutions. “The State Board of Pardons and Paroles,” explained Chair¬ man Everett, “has two primary duties: “First, to protect society. By that we mean not to release any one whom we feel will be dang¬ erous or a menace to other mem¬ bers of the community. “Second, the duty is equally as strong for the board to re¬ lease as many prisoners as we deem, from a thorough investi¬ gation, are suitable and safe for return to the community. “Parole, when properly ad¬ ministered, is a good investment in community protection. This is especially true when we realize that 97 per cent of the people who enter our prisons someday return to society. It is very im¬ portant for our own protection that we have these persons re¬ leased under supervision, with strings tied to them, so that we can return them to prison if they are unable to adjust. Parole as¬ sist these prisoners in bridging the gap from cose and abnormal confinement behind stone walls into the normal channels of so¬ cial life. This is a most difficult transition and we feel that the State, through good parole su¬ pervision, can be very helpful to these people in arranging their lives and becoming law- abiding citizens.” In addition to Chairman Ever- ett, the board is composed of Grover C. Byars and Mrs. Helen Williams Coxon. J.

Three immediate steps urged are: 1. That the War and Navy De- aprtments be contacted as a pro¬ bable means of disposal of fields now in their possession in the ststs 2. That a list and description of all existing or planned fields in the state be obtained from the Civil Aeronautics Authority. 3. Employment of an airport engineer.

C. WILSON Atlanta, May 11.— (NF) — Bronzed by the sun and wind, looking fit as a fiddle, but show¬ ing noticeable signs of battle strain, Lieutenant Herman E. Taimadge flew into Atlanta last week for a brief furlough, after spending twenty months in the Hell of the South Pacific battle area. Starting with the battle of Guadalcanal and since then, Herman has been in the thick of the fighting. “I’ll probably spend all my leave in McRae and Ash- burn resting and getting ac¬ quainted with this fellow,” he said, as he held little Herman Eugene, Jr., in his arms. (Herman Eugene, Jr., is 17 months aid and this is the first time his Dad has seen him. Young Gene had come to the air port in the arms of his grand¬ father, former Governor Tai¬ madge, to meet his dad). He is the old genial Herman, more serious looking—but hav¬ ing a smile and a good word for everyone. Pretty Mrs. Taimadge, the former Betty Shingler of Ash- burn, Ga., confessed that she was nervous as she waited for the plane to come in. Mrs. Taimadge, who is 20 now, was a Sophomore at the Univer¬ sity of Georgia, when she was married. Asked for some comment on his experiences, Herman showed the same reluctance to discuss them that men always do who have endured the inferno of bat¬ tle. He pulled from his pocket a worn little piece of paper that his father, the former Governor, had given him before he sailed for the Guadalcanal area and said, “I have carried this in my pocket since that time and it is worth carrying in your Working At Shanty Town Cemetery There will be a working at the Shanty Town cemetery on Sand Mountain Thursday May 25th. Everyone is invited to come and help clean off the cemetery. The following Sunday, May 28, is the regular Decoration Day.

I the chance to vote. j “The legislature, exclusively called for by that the governor purpose, passed a law to facili¬ tate voting by those in military service. It is the purpose of the Young Democratic Clubs to help them exercise this franchise. "We will need a great deal of help from each county—from relatives and friends of military personnel, from county officials, and from those who handle the election machinery. We earnestly request the co-operation of all.” Persons with relatives or friends in the armed services, who are not registered or who have not been sent a military j ballot, are asked to fill out the ; coupon below and transmit it to Miss Reeves. The proper forms will then be filled out by the Young Democrats and the ser¬ j vice man’s voters’ oath and bal¬ j lot will soon be on the way. LT. HERMAN E. TALMADGE for a long time and carrying in your heart forever. I try to live up to this creecL” Herman added that he wanted it back—but I asked for per¬ mission to copy it and Herman granted it. It is an excellent and idealis- cic creed, written by Rev. For¬ rest L. Eastman, an Episcopal minister. Here it is: “Do your darndest to be a good soldier, but don’t let soldiering make you forget that you are a gentleman and a Christian. It may be necessary to kill, but nev¬ er necessary to like it. You will live in tough company and see suffering, cruelty and coarse¬ ness, and hardness of every kind, don’t let it get the better of you. “ War is hell, but a soldier does not need to be a devil. The world is going to need a lot of men with ideals and decency and morals, after the war is over. Pray God that you may be of those men to build up what war j and crime has torn down. God bless you!” Memorial Srvices At Byrds Chapel There will be a Decoration and Memorial Service at the Byrds Chapel Cemetery, six miles south of Trenton, Sunday, May 21st.

Welfare Department Puts Aid to Children On Current Basis In another unprecedented step to advance the progressive pro¬ gram in the State Department of Public Welfare, Judge A. J. Hartley, director, has moved to place all pending applications for aid to dependent children on a current basis as the number on project of the department. Asking county welfare direc¬ tors to proceed immediately with an investigation of all pending ADC applications as of Apri 120, 1944, Judge Hartey requested that reports be submitted to his office not later than June 1, 1944, so that tangible action to this end can be taken as early as possible. “Aftetr bringing the Old Age Assistance and Aid to the Blind programs up to a current basis for the first time in the history of the State Department of Pub¬ lic Welfare, the department is now determined to see that all eligible dependent children in Georgia receive the benefits to which they are entitled, under the Aid to Dependent Children Act,” Judge Hartley declared. County directors were asked to advise the state director, after their investigations, as to the to- ta number of eligible families, the number of children included and the total amount of assist¬ ance required to meet their needs. Judge Hartley, in his letter to the county directors, requestted tha they prepare a chronological list of eligible applicants, show¬ ing date of application, number of children and the amount of each recommended award. “This list is to be used in mak¬ ing grants in chronological order funds are made avaiable is to be retained in the coun¬ ty office,” Hartley said. These investigations will have priority over all activities other than Old Age Assistance and the Aid to the Blind programs.
