Who Will Be Georgia’s
Governor In Years
Of The Future
ATLANTA. Oct. 18 (GPS)
Who wil be governor of Georgia
in the years 1947-1950 when he
state admittedly must spend $30,-
000 , 000.000 for needed expansion
of public services? Will it be Gov
Ellis Arnall recognized at home
and abroad for his sound lead¬
ership. or will it be one of the
oft-mentioned prospective can-
idates who seemingly lack the
confidence of the people?
Any attempt to answer those
questions today would consti¬
tute the wildest sort of spec¬
ulation. Strangely enough,how¬
ever, one does not need to wait
until next year’s general election
for the answer. It will be forth¬
coming at the General Assembly
adjourned session in January.
Recent developments in the rap¬
idly changing political picture
present definite signs from
which that conclusion is drawn.
They are: l.An almost unan-
mous state press, speaking for
the people, has come out in favor
of a second term for Arnall. Typ¬
ical of such expressions was
the recent front page editorial
in the Macon News which con¬
cluded by saying this to the
Governor: You know, you can¬
not help knowing that the
people of Georgia want a chance
to reelect you,that they are ask¬
ing their members of the assem¬
bly to give them this right, and
that they are looking to you to
speak out.”
2. Gov. Arnall’s reply to the
editorial that “whatever ex¬
perience or abilities I may have
are at the service of Georgia,
now or in the future,” is in, the
opinion of most observers,tant¬
amount to announcing his will¬
ingness to serve another term,
provided the Legislature amends
Constitution, which now pro¬
hibits a governor from succ¬
eeding himself, by submitting
such an amendment to the peo¬
ple.
3 Rep. Ben Fortson of Wilkes
County, who led the “draft Arn-
all” movement in the special
session last June, when he a-
mendment was defeated by only
10 votes in the House, has said
repeatedly that he would sponsor
another bill In the January ses¬
sion proposing the same con¬
stitutional amendement.
4. House speaker Roy V. Harris
has ben quoted as saying: It is
my opinion that the Fortson
amendment, or any other sub¬
stitutes, to permit a governor
to succeed himself will never
again come to a vote in the
Legislature. I consider the
. .
matter a dead issue.”
There, in a nutshell, are the
circumstances surrounding the
next gubernatorial race. They
all add up another bitter fight
in the legislative halls next Jan¬
uary. In one corner will be the
legislators who are ernestly try¬
ing to carry out the will of the
people. In the other corner will
be the same unusual coalition
that brought about the measure s
defeat last summer.
On the outcome of the contest
hinges the political future of
Ellis Arnall, who only recently
declined the position of solicitor
general of the United States in
order to remain in Georgia where
his services are available to the
people in the important trans¬
position period ahead.
The matter is squarely up to
the people, who, according to all
Indications, will insist on their
legslative representatives acting
in the best interest of Georgia s
future at the January session.
That the people know now where
the governor stands was made
clear when he said:
“As for me, I hfcvq no political
plans. Whatever Itptve experience at the or
abilities I may are

the future. It is $ot, for me to

Rest Rooms For Tired
Shoppers Needed
Mayor A. L. Dyer, after read-
last week’s report on needed
improvements here, suggested
another he thinks is important
to the community. That’s a rest
room for the ladies.
It should be a room where the
women can rest and look after
the children, he explained. It
should be located in the center
it the business district.
If Trenton ever wants to be¬
came a large trading center for
sorrounding rural areas, it must
provide such facilities for the
comfort of visitors, Mr. Dyer be¬
lieves. This is an excellent sug¬
gestion that should be followed
up by some organization such
as the Dade County Lions Club,
or similar group.

War Fund Chairman
Urges Dade Citizens
To Support Drive
L. M. Allison, Local Chairman
for the National War Fund drive
that Is now in progress, to-day
pointed out the necessity for the
continued support of the 48 ag¬
encies that are directly depend¬
ent for their existence on the
National War Fund by quoting
the following facts:
1. Three hundred and fifty -
thousand of our Georgia boys
went to war. Most of them still
wear the uniform, and even with
our demobolization plans, nearly
half of them will wear the uni¬
form next July.
2. What we are firing to foreign
relief is a molehill on light of
the needs, but a mountain in
terms of making friends.
3. Our allies have learned to fear
us for our military might and to
respect us for our industrial pow
er. But they are just beginning
to understand that the people
of the United States are not only
great fighters and great pro¬
ducers, but also good friends and
good neighbors.
4. We have spent several billions
to prove that we can’t be licked.
Now we ought to be willing, if
only in our own interest, to
spend a few millions, say the
cost of one light cruiser, to prove
we’re the kind of people we like
to think we are.
5. Our allies have heard enough
now of American thunder and
lightning. Surely at least until
they get a chance ao get back
on their feet, they ought to see
more of the friendly American
smile.
6. This program of allied relief
looms large because it is mere¬
ly a vast multiplication of little
tacs of mercy and kindness, as
ptyically American and just as
humanly effective as your moth¬
er calling over the back fence
to my m o tbw^ trouie, jwyhQf she’s sorry
we’ve had and here's a
loaf of bread she’s baked this
morning.
Dade County, although one of
the smallest counties in the
state of Georgia, has always
done her part every drive so far
but, unless there is a decided
change for the better, Dade
County will have the unhappy
distinction of being one of the
very few counties in the state
that have not met their quota
in the National War Fund drive.
