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."

Two Colleges Offer

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.
