He declared that the best

Farm money invested in
Bonds will make an
contribution to financing the
war and will put a brake on in¬

Makes Plea for School
System Of Georgia
Dr. M. D. 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.

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.

You know, this is election day
