GOVERNOR ARNALL’S FREIGHT RATE
GETS BOOST
Gov. Ellis Arnall's fight for
frieght rate equalization for
Georgia and the South, which
has attracted nation-wide at¬
tention, received a big boost
in Chicago last week when
Southern and Western memb¬
ers of the Democratic National
Convention's Platform Commit¬
tee succeeded in putting over
a plank calling for the very
thing Georgia's young gover¬
nor has been advocating for so
long. filed
Gov. Amall an action
recently in the U. S. Supreme
Court seeking to compel the
railroads to readjust freight
schedules so that rates would
not be at least twenty-five per
cent higher in the Southern ter¬
ritory than they are in the East¬
ern or official territory. He tried
to get Western governors to
join in the fight, but met with
little success until last week.
" T want to express my grati-
tuie to Speaker Roy V. Harris,
o the Georgia House of Repre¬
sentatives, for his strong fight
for the freight rate plank in the
platform,'' Gov. Amall said. "I
am told that Gov. Prentice
Cooper, of Tennessee, /and
Speaker Harris led the light in
the committee for the freight
rote plank, over considerable
opposition from the East and
North. The adoption of this
plank by the convention will
assure us success in the fight
wo have been making for the
South for many years. I regard
it as one of the most beneficial
things that rppld possibly hap¬
pen to the Southern and West¬
ern states."
The Atlanta Jouranl in dis¬
cussing that phase of the Dem¬
ocratic Party's platform had this
to say editorially: "Georgia
won an importantant victory in
obtaining the insertion of a
plank declaring for no-discrimi¬
natory transportation charges
and the early correction of in¬
equalities in such charges. Gov.
Dewey has been the leading
opponent of the correction of
frieght- rate discriminations and
will find the Democratic state¬
ment embarassing to him in the
South and West."

IN MEMORY
In loving memory of our dear
daughter and sister, Evelyn E.
Cloud, who died one year ago,
July 22, 1943.
God called you, Et.'vn dear,
away.
Our grief we felt we could riot
bear,
But our dear Saviour answers
prayers.
Long days and nights at length
are years,
Heavy hearts and oft-shed tears;
Our grief we bear if" silence,
For one we loved so well,
ner pleasan* w^/s and smil¬
ing face '**'''*’
Are a pleasure to-recall;
She had a kindly word for
And died beloved by all.
Golden moments, ours
to hold and cherish,
Then we smile and start anew;
Dreaming waking dreams of you
Relieve the riours briefly
The way they were before you
went.
Oh, Evelyn, how we loved you,
Our nearts ache for you still;
Forgotten by some others.
But by us y‘ou never will.
There comes a time for all
When we must say good bye

Your Ranger Says...
By Buck Pace
"I guess all you folks saw the
write up in this paper a few
weeks ago about my appoint¬
ment as Forest Fire Rang¬
er. Well, that being the case,
I guess I ought to let you know
what is being
done in the
way of fire pro¬
tection for this
county.
"Mr. G. W.
Hale, who runs
a store on Look¬
out Mountain,
Pace opposite Wild¬
wood has been made a "lpok-
out," to help find and locate
wood fires. For the past few
days I have been busy getting
a right-of-way so we could put
up a telephone line from his
store to my office. Since he is
located on the edge of the
mountain he will be abje to
see over a large area of Dade
County and if any fires are dis¬
covered, he will be able to call
me. Other points are also be¬
ing located and will be con¬
nected to my office by phone.
' Now I want all of you folks
to help me make this program
a success by being careful
wiih fire. We just got to protect
our young timber from fire if
we expect the younger genera¬
tions of children to prosper and
do well. The next time you pass
Mr. D. T. Brown's place, locat¬
ed west of New England, you
slow up and take a look at
what fire did to a portion of his
woods last week, and you will
see what I am talking about.
"Well, I got to go now, but
I want all you folks to watch
this paper next week 'cause I
have got an important an¬
nouncement to make which I
know all of you will be glad
to hear."

The Wauhatchie Circuit of
the Methodist Church will hold
a joint revival, beginning to¬
night, July 27, at the Wildwood
Methodist church. Services will
be held each of the following
night at 8 o'clock: Thursday
night, Friday night and Satur¬
day night. The final service will
be on Sunday afternoon.
The revival preacher is the
Rev. D. Sullins Dosser, pastor
of the Asbury Methodist church
of Chattanooga. Bro. Dosser is
known throughout southern
Methodism as one of its great¬
est evangelists. For a number
of years he was the official
evangelist of the Holston Con¬
ference, and he has held meet¬
ings in many of the Chattanoo-
aa churches, including the St.
Elmo, St. Andrews, Brainerd
and Asbury Methodist
churches. Since beginning his
work at Asbury he has doubled
the church membership. The
building is crowded for nearly
every service. Asbury is now
known as one of the fastest
growing churches in Method¬
ism, and this is principally due
to Rev. Dosser's ministry.
The Girls, Trio, heard every
Sunday night over WDOD, on
the "Back Home Hour”, will
sing during the meeting, and
there will be other special mu¬
sic.
The Wauhatchie Circuit in¬

dist Church, the Morganville
Methodist Church, the Slyqo
Methodist Church and the

The pastor, Rev. Edward Steff-
ner, of Chattanooga, stresses
the fact that this is a circuit¬
wide undertaking and urges the
members of each of his
churches to support it. Friends
from dll of the communities are
urged to attend the services.
