in the success of the

H. Davis, national chairman

Fund. They would not have
so if they had not been fully
formed of its activities.
“We have no way of
how many newspapers and
azines actively supported
Red Cross during the drive,”
Davis stated. “We do know,
ever, that newspapers
out the country devoted
of column inches to telling
story of the Red Cross on
covers as well as carrying
about its activities. The
bution of the press is
that cannot be measured in
lars and cents. It has far
than just momentary value."
Advertisers also were

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. State
headquarters are the fourth floor
of the State Highway building in

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. Carroll Lar-
mor eis director.

Herman E Taimadge Home on Furlough After
2 Years in South Pacific Battle Area
Special to Dade County Times
By J. 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

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!”

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.
