Fanners Are To Prepare For War’s Aftermath By buying War Bonds gia farm families can build a financial reserve which make possible post-war justments, T. Ft. Breedlove, adminstrative officer of the cultural Adjustment Agency, this week. He pointed out that can help win the war and at same time build up a reserve investing in War Bonds. financial welfare of for the next two decades will pend to a great extent on use farmers make of their er incomes during the war,” Breedlove asserted. Now is the time to save not speculate, the officers continued, advising keeping of debts at a safe Farmers with heavy debts use part of their income to duce them to a safe level, they should buy some bonds. “After debts have been ed to a safe level, invest all vailable income in War Mr. Breedlove urged. “A sound financial program to first invest in bonds the of needed repairs and ments of buildings and ment that cannot be made because of lack of material labor. Next, invest in War the cost of desired improve¬ ments for farm and home , Vhen Y/wiese invest as much as posible bonds as a general fi- 7 PLncial years reserve for* unfavor^ ^ Miui/ uia> , , Mr. Breedlove cited the ex¬ ample of what happened before *“~when the prosperity of World War I and the post-war period that followed broke many farm¬ ers. For the man who does save the same thing could hap- en again, he warned. He declared that the best for the farmer to save and in¬ vest money is in War Bonds. Farm money invested in Bonds will make an contribution to financing the war and will put a brake on in¬ flation. Farmers who have in¬ vested in bonds will be in a bet¬ ter position to adjust their ing operations to post-war ditions. 4-H Club Goes All Out War Bond Effort tm :xas, with his fine litter which will help the food sup v.

Collins, state school superintendent, said yesterday more than five thousand teach¬ ers are needed to fill vacancies in Georgia public schools before the beginning of the 1944-45 term in the fall. “School administrators have been struggling desperately to get teachers under contracts for nevf year but oily a few have been sucessful in staffing their sei.ocls,” Dr. Co i.is said. “Most of them have been un¬ able to find competent teachers to fill the vacancies which ex¬ isted last spring, and many have received resignations from teach ers who have decided to accept offers in other governmental a- gencies and in private indus¬ tries.” “The additional month's sal¬ ary authorized by Governor Ar- nall for teachers on the 1944-45 state payroll is highly appreciat¬ ed by administrators and teach¬ ers who have been willing to make financial sacrifices to re¬ main in the profession. But it wasn’t enough to hold and at¬ tract the number of qualified teachers required to completely staff our schools.” “If we are to avert disaster in our public school system our teachers must have more money. We must meet, as far as is hu¬ manly possible, the compeition for the services of teachers. Ev¬ en with the extra month’s pay, Georgia teachers will receive less than they can get in other states and in other positions. “It will require about $1,500,000 of additional state funds to give teachers anoher month’s pay. An authorization of this sum with¬ in the next thirty days would in¬ fluence teachers to remain at their posts and would attract others who are qualified to teach. “I am confident that every school administrator in the state will join me in urging Governor Arnall to take the necessary steps to help maintain our pub¬ lic school system,” Dr. Collins said. A singing will be held at the Wo'odlawn Baptist church July 9 (Sunday). Everyone is cordially invited to attend. This singing is held here at the church each second Sunday.

Steps Recommended To Remove Schools From Politics The public schools of Georgia will be removed from politics to the greatest extent possible, if the commission revising the state’s constitution adopts sev¬ eral steps to be recommended by the commission’s sub-committee on education, according to an¬ nouncement by its chairman, President Frank Gross of the Georgia senate. One of the proposals is for the education of the state school superintendents by the county boards of education. These of¬ ficials are now chosen by popu¬ lar vote. A third proposal is to permit county school board members to fill vacancies on their board in¬ stead of having this done by su¬ perior court judges. It is believed that these three steps would bring definite pro¬ gress in removing the common schools from politics. A confer¬ ence in the regard has been held in Atlanta with representatives of several associations of school officials and teacher organiza¬ tions. Election of county school superintendents by county boards was approved by school officials but it is said they did not favor choice of the state superintendent by the state board Ray Hixon Reported Wounded in Action Word has been received here by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hixon that their son, Samuel Ray, MO-MM 2-C, has been wounded in ac¬ tion. Mr. and Mrs. Hixon have sufficient reasons to believe that Ray was wounded in the invas ion of France; however, details have been more or less vague. Ray volunteered in the Navy over a year ago and has been overseas for several months. He was assigned to an LST after landing in England. He is the husband of Lilian Cole Hixon, and is the father of two children, Wanda Jean and Billie. Ray attended Dade County High School, and was very outsand- ing in athletics and scholastic work. His parents are anxiously awaiting more detailed informa¬ tion.

Monetary Conference July 3, 1944—Possibly the most portentious thing taking place in the world at this time is happening, not in Normandy nor around Minsk, nor yet in the Far East, but in the White Mountains, at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. There is being held a money conference at which are gathered financiers from several nations. The pur¬ pose of this conclave, they say, is to stabalize the world’s cur¬ rencies, to the end, I think, that the money power may continue to control the world’s business. One writer opines that out of the Bretton Woods conference may grow to great banks, great¬ er than any the world has yet seen. Guess where they will be. Right! New York and London! Who is resolved to rule the world? Hitler? No more so than British and American financiers. And if their thing works, this monetary control will be more absolute than any by battle¬ ships and bombers. In 1881 such a monetary con¬ ference as this was held in Paris. Of it, the great historian, John Clark Ridpath says: “The money class of the world never display¬ ed greater unanimity than in the attempt to insure a monetary unit of the highest possible val¬ ue.” Again, of course, these same credit-holders will try to see to it that the astronomical war debts are paid in hard money. They want to see a dollar of it have the power to buy a day of a man’s life. They’ll be un¬ willing to see the burden of debt eased by the device of inflating the currencies. No, sir! They want $300 billion from you, in HARD money. —W. C. SKAGGS. Dade County’s Only Newspaper . Cherokee Circuit’s Six Counties Fall in Townsend Column Dade’s First Cherokee Circuit Judge The citizens of Dade County rallied to the sup¬ port and held high the hand of the home hoy, J. M. C. Townsend, when they rolled up a majority of 829 to 44 votes in his favor out of the ten precincts of the county. Each gave Dade County’s first Cherokee Cir¬ cuit Judge an overwhelming vote ranging from ma¬ jorities of from 100 to 200 to one. The young Judge’s home precinct rolled up a 274 to 3 count. This ma¬ jority was followed by tabulation of 96 to 3 in the New England precinct, including the Mountain. The county site, Trenton, came through with a 97 to 18 lead for the winner. Sand Mountain, another stronghold of the Judge, rolled up an overwhelming majority—as a matter of fact, all of our precincts voted a vote of confidence for Judge Townsend. The home boy pitch¬ ed a shut-out in Sulphur Springs, chalking up a 52 to 0 majority. Hooker and Slygo also gave “lied” all the votes they cast. Last minute reports gave Dade County’s first Judge an overwhelming majority throughout the six coun¬ ties of the Cherokee Circuit; a tabulation of which gives Townsend 7,111 votes, and Dalton 2,079 votes —a 3-to-l majority for Townsend. It is gratifying to know and to be proved at the polls that Dade Countians really and truly did stay by their home boy and give the vote of confidence which he so rightfully deserves and which, over a period of years has certainly, beyond a reasonable doftbt earned. It has been one of Judge Townsend’s chief ambitions to be elected Judge of his Circuit, and Tuesday, on Independence Day, he was elected, and was elected as no other candidate of the Chero¬ kee Circuit has ever been. Wildwood News Dear Leta: You know, this is election day and it is kinda hard to stay a- way from the community house, for fear I might miss something.

Did a little snooping around this week. Asked Joe Dantzler if anything ever happened up at his house and he told me that Mrs. Cora Boyd of Ooltewah, Tenn., was spending a few days with Ida and Edwin Dantzler.
