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 service of Georgia,.''how and in the future. It is $ot, for me to say what the people ought to do; what it they is for want the done.” people tp say “Herd up” that used stove, ater, fur coat, radio, gun, etc., id “corral” cash by advertis- l them in the want ads of The mes. Don’t forget to contribute to the National War Fund now. 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.
