Unsung Patriots • After three long years of effective, patriotic service to their country and to the citizens of their home county, on October 15, the Dade County War Price and Rationing Board will have com¬ pleted its wartime task and disband. During the years of service that the members of this board have served, they have often been criticiz: d for various rulings they have made; they have often been called tough and unfair by sel¬ fish people who put their own personal interests ahead of all else, but regardless of all pleas, threats or intimidations they have done their duty as required of them by their government in time of war. Their rulings have always been consistently in line with the policy of assisting their country and at the same time being fair to our own citizens, and none know this better or appreciate their services more than their home people whom they have so faith¬ fully served. These patriotic men and women of the Dade County War Price and Rationing Board have often neglected their own pe "sonal business, without pay, to carry on this essential wartime work. To a large number of the people whom they have served, they are unknown, in so far as public recognition of their patriotism is concerned. They are indeed unsung patriots; and now that their task is almost completed, they should be given the recognition and honor they so richly deserve. Upon A. L. Dyer, Chairman of the Dade County War Price and Rationing Board, has fallen the greatest responsibility, but with the aid of Mrs. H. F. Allison, who has so efficiently served as Chief Clerk of the Board, and her very capable assistant, Miss Jessie Cagle, he has done a splendid, worthwhile work for his county and home people. The citizens should know the names of every member of the local Board that has served them so well, and The Times takes pleasure in publishing the names of the entire personnel of the Board; A. L. Dyer, Chairman; R. S. Townsend, R. P. Fricks. Price Panel Board; W. W. Williams, J M. C. Townsend, Robert Forester. -★- Cheaper Electric Rates For Georgia • The Georgia Public Service Commission has recently ordered the Georgia Power Company to reduce residential rates on elec¬ tric current, which will effect a saving of $1,200,000 per year to con¬ sumers of the state. Effective October 1, the new rate will apply and in addtion to reducing the general rate, the minimum bill has been reduced from $1.00 to 75 cents. This reduction of electric rates will be appreciated by the con¬ sumers, and is in keeping with the general trend of the times, mak¬ ing cheap rates available to hundreds of thousands of families who heretofore could not afford to light their homes with electricity. While these rates effect a very great saving, the new rate is still considerably higher than the rate now charged by the Tenn¬ essee Valley Authority, which has interchangeable service with the Georgia Power Company, we understand. We believe that all companies and corporations are entitled to a just return on their investment, but until the organization of the Tennessee Valley Authority by Congress some 10 years ago, electric rates were all out of proportion to the service rendered, and rural electrification was practically unknown in the south. The Georgia Power Company is now extending its lines to the rural sections of Dade County, including a line up Sand Mountain, which means very much to the communities who will be served with light and power; and we hope that they will continue to extend their lines until every community in the county is able to enjoy electric service. Eventually, we hope, all electric rates will be based on the same rate as that of the TVA, when no home will be too poor to have electric lights. * * - -- Telling His Ancestors • The Associated Press informs us that “Emperor Hirohito to¬ day personally informed the Imperial Ancestors of Japan’s defeat.” We are uninformed as to just how Hirohito communicated with his ancestors. Did he have some astral or spiritualistic medium? And just what did he say to them? i We have an idea it was something like this: “O divine worship¬ ped founders of the Empire of the Rising Sun, in sorrow and in misery I inform you that your invincible Empire has received a heluva licking, and that I, your imperial successor, have suffered ignominious humiliation and disgrace in that I must henceforth obey the orders of an ordinary human, representing a heathen race and nation. We have, O Amerterasu, Jimmu, Taisho, Ninko, lost our men, our ships our cities, our islands and our face. I have not committed the ancient and horrible rite of hari-kari, O revered ancestors, because I believe that live slave can be of more use to you than a dead Mikado; and I preserved to the last the dignity of my royal person and did not show myself to the gloating eyes of the conquering enemies.” We that Gen. MacArthur, exercising his control ' are sorry over { the deflated Empire, did not not compel his personal presence at the ceremony of formal surrender. That would have been an im¬ pressive demonstration of Hirohito’s subservience to the will of the victors__Tampa (Fla.) Tribune. To Our Correspondents It is with pleasure that we can announce that our printing e- quipment is again in splendid working condition, and that every¬ thing is running smoothly, making it possible to issue The Times regularly each week. Before our regretable, but unavoidable suspension, we were very much encouraged that so many of our friends were reporting the news of their communities regularly each week, and will great¬ ly appreciate it if they will again continue to send us these inter¬ esting letters. In this issue of The Times we are publishing a nice, newsy let¬ ter giving the activities of the student body of the Dade County High School. This newsy letter is well written by two popular stud¬ ents who daily come in contact with the student body of the high school, and we ask that students from other schools of the county also send us an interesting letter each week. Please mail your correspondence and news letters so as to reach our desk not later than Wednesday morning, giving us time for publication the next day. —THE EDITOR. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES: TRENTON. GEORGIA THURSDAY. Y, SEPTEMBER 13. 1945. HepAtite/i in WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WN U Correspondent WNU Washington Bureau 621 Union Trust Building Peace Brings Problems \\Tl IAT was expected to be a VV short time of comparative re¬ laxation with the congress in recess here in Washington, turned out to be a period of tenseness and sol¬ emnity, punctuated by one wild hilarious Victory celebration. Now, with congressmen back from their shortened vacation, everything i3 bustle and activity to cope with the expected emergency due to sudden peace. What was predicted to happen— has happened. The end of the Jap war came before congress expected it would come, and the country finds itself in the predicament of unpre¬ paredness for peace and reconver¬ sion. While plans for reconversion on all the home fronts will occupy the minds of congress and heads of gov¬ ernmental units here, there is one factor the members of congress learned about out in their home towns during their vacation. It will have an important bearing upon what they do, and how soon, toward preparing the nation for peacetime economy. And that important factor is impatience in the minds of the American people. Leaders here see ahead a public sentiment which will brook no fumbling at the hands of congress. During wartime the people have re¬ mained as a unit, held in check by the spirit of patriotism. But the small gripes and irritations which the people stood for in wartime will develop into full-blown bellows In peacetime, since the general public is pretty well fed up on restrictions and regimentation. Members of congress found out that this spirit is rampant. They also found out from returning veterans that they are ready to take their places in civilian ranks, eager and willing to say just what they think. They know what they want, and in all probability some 7,000,000 or 8,000,- 000 of them will be home by this time next year, ready to play their part in the 1946 elections. And that part may be troublesome to some congressmen. Only Small Slump Whatever the congress d6es to ease the nation into A peace¬ time economy with as little a jolt as possible, leaders here see months of uncertainty, with at least some unemployment, some idle fac¬ tories ahead. They do not expect a downswing comparable to the de¬ pression of the early 1930s. As a matter of fact, there may be no more unemployment than there was in 1938 and 1939 before we entered the war and the nation became geared to wartime production. But whatever happens, there will be la¬ bor dislocations during the fall and winter months which will lower pur¬ chasing power and cause consider¬ able lag in peacetime production. The first thing President Truman wants from congress is the power to reorganize and streamline the gov¬ ernmental agencies. Immediately upon his return from Potsdam, the President sharply reversed the poli¬ cy of Chairman Krug of the WPB, who was inclined to let indus¬ try scramble for itself. So WPB will continue to allocate materials and machines to civilian industries with the idea of making as many Jobs as possible. The President also wants action on the full-employment bill and on his recommendation for emergency unemployment compen¬ sation for workers laid off due to war cut-backs. War orders were cut overnight about $33,000,000,000, more than one-half the total, and the heaviest hit were the airplane and ship - building industries. In other words, war orders, which have been amounting to approximately $45,000,- 000,000 annually, will be reduced to $10,000,000,000 by January, 1946. Labor's Demands The powerful labor lobby already is busy demanding of congress the full-employment bill; the bill raising minimum wages from 45 to 65 cents an hour; a permanent fair employ¬ ment practice committee; the Mur¬ ray Missouri Valley authority meas- ure and additional valley authorities on other rivers; the Wagner-Murray amendments to the social security act; the bill providing for allotments and improvements of feeder high- ways; the airport improvement bill backed by the CAA; the equal pay bill for women; and a national hous¬ ing program. It is also urging the government to indorse the principle of the guaranteed annua] wage. Agriculture has some 20 bills in the congressional hopper, but the de¬ partment of agriculture will place its heaviest backing in favor of the school lunch bill; the Flanagan bill to combine farm credit and farm se¬ curity agencies into an independent agency; the Lucas REA bill, minus the Shipstead amendment w r hich makes REA an independent agency; the Langer bill taking the lid off size of debts which the de¬ partment may adjust; the Missouri Valley authority bill, and the Aiken food allotment bill similar to the oM food stamp plan measure. ^ Pay's to Advertise! DADE COUNTY LEADERS, YOU BETTER GET A HUMP ON YOURSELVES! “The south has the nation’s best economic opportunity and improvement of the plan of edu¬ cation is the key to its attain¬ ment.” a group of southern edu¬ cators said in a book released last week. » A regional survey shows that the south has abundant re¬ sources, but the lowest level of living because a large proportion of human and natural resources have been wasted or mishandled From the point of view of science and natural laws, there is no necessity for these condi¬ tions to be continued. The solu¬ tion can come only as a result of human forsight and planning on the part of Southerners, supple¬ mented by the interest and co¬ operation of the nation as a whole to improve the under¬ standing, and change the atti¬ tude of the people and develop skills that as yet have been only partially developed. The major responsibility for bringing about these improve¬ ments rests on the schools and educational systems. The work of the schools and educational institutions must be re-adjusted in many fundamental respects to contribute at all levels to the attainment of the major objec¬ tive. The rural south is the prin¬ cipal reservoir from which the country’s future population is being recruited. ’Nuff said. Now listen to Edgar Hoover; “Unfortunately, we have in our midst a large number of easy¬ going people who cannot seem to bring themselves to take more than a passing interest in public affairs. They like to think- that crime is a chronic condition which we must always have with us. In this lethargy lies one of our gravest post war perils. Most all the causes of juvenile crime could be eradicated by re-estab¬ lishing the home, church and school as bastions of clean and honest living.” Now listen to one Russian, a Dr. Laski: “We shall have to make up our minds about the urgent issue of whether the im¬ mense productive capacity which science has placed at our disposal is to be operated through a sys¬ tem which gives abounding wealth to a few and condemns in every community the overwhelm¬ ing majority to live on a stand¬ ard which denies them adequacy in both material comfort and spiritual welfare, or whether it is to be operated through a sys¬ tem of planned production for community consumption.” And this from Columbus Ga.: “Negroes refuse to leave filthy tents for hi-falutin apartments.” Why? They want to charge the poor folks $10 to $25 a month rent and they can’t pay it. They get their tent for $3 a month. Just another case of greedy mind ed man. He admits he does not care whether they move into his project or not. Here’s something to sweeten all this bitter stuff: COUNTRYMAN I am so glad Christ walked the country ways, Down leafy lanes and furrowed fields; I am so glad the Master spent His days Among green meadows and the heady yields Of ripened ears and undulating wheat, And that He found those stren¬ gthening gold grains sweet! —Grace Noll Crowell MRS.

The Churches of Christ Salute v 01 ROUfAVS ROMANS le.ie 16:16 * With Sound Doctrine The church was purchased with the blood of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Acts 20: 28), and by him built (Matt. 16: 18). We are fortunate in being permitted to be members of such a divine institution. The church is the “house of God” and the •pillar and ground of the truth” (I Tim. 3:15). It is true that the church saves no one, but it is in the church that the Lord saves. Paul declares that Christ is “the Saviour of the body” (Eph. 5:23), and that “the body” is the church (Col. 1:18). The Lord then, being the Saviour ot the body, and the body being the church, therefore to be saved by the Lord we must be in the church. Those who become mem¬ bers of the church and “walk after the Spirit” (Rom. 8:1), will enter with the Lord into his eternal kingdom. All spiritual blessings are in Christ. In whom we have re¬ demption through his blood even the forgivenes of sins” (Col. 1: 14). Since “redemption” and the “forgiveness of sins” are stated to be in Christ, it follows that to enjoy the spiritual blessings one must be in the church. But just any church is not good enough for the church in which all ful¬ ness dwells (Eph. 1:22-23) is designated by the Holy Scrip¬ tures. The Lord promised to build but one church (Matt. 16: 18). Paul states there is “one body” (Eph 4:4), but the “body” is the church (Col. 1:18), there¬ fore, there is but one church with divine approval and that one is the Lord’s. We can never be saved by o- bedience to “doctrines and com¬ mandments of men” (Mark 7: 7). Only by submission to the authority of Christ can we live in “Mansions of the skies” (Acts 4:12). Strict adherence to the Word of God would never lead anyone into any organization REVIVAL MEETING TO BEGIN AT PINEY GROVE, SUNDAY; SINGING TO OPEN REVIVAL All is in readiness for the be¬ ginning of a great revival meet¬ ing at the Piney Grove Baptist Church next Sunday, as an¬ nounced by Rev. Charles McCary, local pastor. Rev. Henry Gwinn, an outstanding evangelist, of Stevenson, Ala., has been secured to conduct the meeting, and a great spiritual revival is expect¬ ed. On Sunday, opening day of the revival, an all day singing will be held at the church, with John Warren, well known song leader, in charge of the program, and dinner will be served on the church grounds, and everybody is invited. The public is cordially invited to attend the revival meeting and enjoy the messages as de¬ livered by the able evangelist. The protracted meeting will continue through the entire week, and longer if sufficient interest is shown in the revival. | PICTURES! LET US SOLVE YOUR PICTURE PROBLEMS!
