It never filled a hungry little stomach. It never inspired a kiss of purity. It never planted a garden, or sent a happy little girl to swing upon the gate in anticipation of father’s or mother’s return. It never made a contented hearthstone, or bred a yeomanry to inspire their country with sturdy pride. It deals in mortgages and evictions. It wrenches bread from the fingers of childhood. It triumphs in blows and hate, in suspicion and fear, in lusts and disease. It tramples upon the flowers, strikes the hinges from the gate, and sends the little ones flying from the father’s or mother’s approach. Selfishness, hopelessness and decay smite the land in which it rules. —Mrs. Roy Graves. m THE WORD OF GOD RADIO PROGRAM W AP O Saturday 12:30 p.m Monday through Friday 6:15 a.m. Address REV.

L. (Bill) Brady, At¬ lanta publicist and manager of the Southeastern Theatre Equip¬ ment Company’s 16-millimeter division, told the Exchange Club of Macon last week. “The State of Georgia, offi¬ cially, is doing exactly nothing today,” he says. “True enough, we are getting up folders to pass out to tourists, but the methods we use today are very much akin to the methods of the man who knows he can do a good job but has never shown anyone just what he can do.” Brady is well known in busi ness and newspaper circles throughout Georgia. He is vice president of the American Pub lie Relations Association and an authority on the economic de¬ velopment of the South. Georgia’s present efforts, he charged, amount to “talking to ourselves.” We need to place our advertising where it will get into the homes of the people we are trying to attract to Georgia and on the desk of the business man we would like to have join us in a profitable operation in Georgia.” Mr. Brady said he believes small and diversified industries are just as important to Georgia as diversified agriculture. The war, he added, proved that “we have a good supply of intelligent labor.” Brady’s address was accorded an ovation by his audience, and he was invited to speak in civic circles there at some future date STATE GAME AND FISH SPORTSMEN’S CLUB FOR EVERY COUNTY PLANNED Plans for the formation of a sportsmen’s club in every coun¬ ty in Georgia to work with the State Game and Fish Commis¬ sion in protection, restocking, and education have been an¬ nounced by Charles N. Elliott, executive director of the com¬ mission. Two clubs already have been formed. One at Lumpkin, the Stewart County Sportsmen’s Club, has adopted several pro¬ jects for the year, which include one for fish and one for quail. Another, the Seminole County Sportsmen’s Club, in Seminole county, is preparing to cooperate with Decatur county to improve fishing in Spring Creek and Lake Decatur. At its last meeting, this club passed a resolution re¬ questing the Legislature to en¬ act a law making it mandatory for every fisherman in the state to have a license. Director Elliott informed that remodeling of Richmond Hill hatchery is almost completed and is again in operation. Its 22 new pools, equipped with in¬ dividual drains and feeders, will increase the capacity of the hatchery from 200,000 to over half a million fish yearly. Seven of the small pools will be stocked with bass, eleven with bream, and one with crappie. An outstanding achievement by one of the commission’s ran¬ gers this year, according to Elli¬ ott, was the apprehension and arrest of a man impersonating a ranger and obtaining money under false pretenses. In coop¬ eration with the GBI, the ranger succeeded in tracking him down from clues given by a negro who had paid the imposter five dol¬ lars for the privilege of fishing in his home county with worms and without a license. SERVICE COMMISSION FIGHTING EXTENSION OF POWER OF F. P. C. The Georgia Public Service Commission is opposing the movement to have extended the power of the Federal Power Commission in Washington over the use of natural gas, the pro¬ ponents of which contend it is needed for purposes of conser¬ vation. A statement by Chairman Wal¬ ter McDonald of the Georgia body was read before a meeting of the FPC, which included the following: “The position of the State of Georgia with respect to this en¬ tire proceeding is that we are completely satisfied with condi¬ tions as they now exist . . . The Federal Power Commission gave! notice that it would inquire in¬ to potential reserves, conserva- tion and end use of natural gas as well as factors of competition with a view to making recom¬ mendations for additional leg¬ islation. “Legislation in line with the apparent purpose of this inves¬ tigation could have but two re- / State STATEMENT OF CONDITION MARCH 31, 1946 /huU CASH AND CASH ITEMS # Cash on deposit in State Treasury......................................................................5 29,968, Uo.44 Has been verified by Statement of Stale Treasurer.
