Devoted to The Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. NUMBER 17—VOLUME 45 Roosevelt Praised In ArnalTs Unmade Washington Speech ATLANTA, April 26 (GPS)— When the shocking news President Roosevelt's sudden death spread over the world, it reached Georgia's Gov. Ellis Arnall at Sea Island only a few hours before he was to board a plane for Washington, where he was to have been the prin¬ cipal speaker at the Day dinner. Strangely enough, Gov. nail, who was spending a vacation at the resort with family, only a short time had put the finishing to his speech he was to delivered to the party. One part of that speech, it would seem, is ticularly appropriate at time. Of Mr. Roosevelt, Governor had planned to this: "Our party gave this its three great apostles American unity; the pher of liberty, Mr. Jefferson Virginia; the preserver of Union against internal and eign foes, General Jackson Tennessee; and that man has seen more clearly than other of our generation that truly is one nation and that injury to any whether a geographic or a group of citizens, is ter to the whole, Mr- of Hyde Park and Springs." That speech, of course, not made. The Jefferson Day dinner as well the 650 others throughout the nation, postponed. Instead, Gov. nall, upon learning of the ident's passing issued statement: "I am shocked beyond at the news of President velt's death. There is no lating the great loss the of Amrica and the world suffered in the passing of wartime leader. Roosevelt, in a reecnt tion with me, send he had preferred to return felt that to life, but that he it his duty to serve. He died service. I am sure that is way he preferred to go." To Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House in Warm where the President died, gia's chief executive and sent message: "The love pathy of the people of go out to you and the family this sad hour."

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1945. Two Colleges Offer Scholarships To State 4-H Girls College work scholarships to two Georgia colleges are being offered to Georgia 4-H Club girls this year, Miss Kathleen Weldon, asistant State 4-H Club leader for the agricultural ex¬ tension service, disclosed this week. "These college work ships will enable 24 Four-H Club girls to further their edu¬ cation," Miss Weldon said. "Twelve girls wil receive work scholarships to Abraham win Agricultural College, at Tifton, which will enable them to work off one-third of college expenses. twelve will be awarded work scholarships to West Georgia College at Carrollton, which will enable them to work off nearly one-half of their ex¬ penses." To be eligible for the work scholarships, 4-H Club girls must have had three years of 4-H Club work including the present year, and must be in ihe senior class at high school or have graduated from high school in the last two years, the 4-H Club leader pointed out. "The girl's 4-H Club record and leadership and scholarship rec¬ ord wil be considered in choos¬ ing the girls to receive the work scholarships." Four-H Club girls who are in¬ terested in these scholarships should contact their home dem¬ onstration agents immediately and secure complete details, Miss Weldon advised. Baseball Is Just Around The Corner ATLANTA, April 26 (GPS)— Despite the fact that big league moguls constantly rocked the boat during the period of un¬ certainty, baseball once again is just around the corner. The 1945 season is about to begin. While the big league boys apparently forgetting the policy of the late Commissioner is, ran back and forth from Washington asking for this and that, Earl Mann, president of the Atlanta Crackers, and most of the other minor league offi¬ cials, went about their business with the vowed determination to carry on under Judge Landis' wartime policy. Mann said that President season, like those that have passed since the war began, the Crackers will operate under that same creed, which said in part: "I have repeatedly stated on behalf of everybody base¬ con¬ nected with professional ball that we ask no treatment—that we would be disgraced if we got it."

Weeklies Handled Roosevelt’s Death In Superb Manner ATLANTA, April 26 (GPS)— Time was when some people regarded weekly newspapers merely as a medium for legal advertising, interspersed with a few social items of local inter¬ est. But times have changed and today the home town weekly is as vital to its sub¬ scribers as a dispenser of cur¬ rent news as the metropolitan daily is to its readers. Tautest evidence of that fact was the recent handling by Georgia weekly papers of the sudden death o f President Roosevelt. What probably is the biggest news story of our generatoin broke right on the deadline of many of the state's weeklies. Editors of papers which had not actually been published and delivery on the way held the presses and made over the front pages for the big story, which they piec¬ ed together mostly from radio accounts. Those who missed the story because their presses had already rolled came back the following week with later developments and fine tributes to our departed commander-in¬ chief. By and large, the Georgia weekly press deserves com¬ mendation from every single reader for doing a job of news- papering that would do credit to the larger staffed dailies. Weekly newspaper subscrib¬ ers should, and most likely do, realize that they no longer need to await the arrival of nearby city daily papers for details of current news. More and more weekly editors are realizing the importance of carrying hap¬ penings that develop outside their own community. This par¬ ticularly is true of news of a state-wide significance and, when it is big enough, news of national and international pur¬ port. Moon Is At Miami For Reassignment MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
