Trick Backfired
On Local Men
(Exchange)
William Belt and Ray White
of this vicinity hid a seventeen
jewel Elgin watch in a hollow
stump about a quarter of a mile
from Dr. Anderson’s office in an
attempt to test the powers of
Dr. Anderson.
They th!en proceeded to Dr.
Anderson’s office for a reading,
with the story that they had
lost the watch. Dr. Anderson
told them that they had not
lost their watch but had hid¬
den it trying to fool him, also
told them that they would not
find their watch when they re¬
turned to the hollw stump to
get it, for a little colored boy had
found their watch while they
were visiting Dr. Anderson’s of¬
fice. They cannot say for sure
the colored boy has the watch
or not but it is a known fact
that the watch was gone when
they returned for it.
He also told William Bell in
his reading that when he re¬
turned home he would have a
letter waiting for him from his
wife, who was then on a visit
in another town with her peo¬
ple, asking for a divorce. He
received the letter alright, and
the divorce is under way at this
writing.
I just want to add this little
warning to the men of Fort
Payne, (and women). If you
have anything to hide from your
respective mates, we would ad¬
vise you to keep them away from
Dr. Anderson’s office, which,
starting Monday, July 8, 1946,
will be located in Fort Payne,
jus across from the Ford Garage
on Highway U. S. No. 11—Birm¬
ingham Highway.
Remember, Dr. Anderson will
open in Fort Payne, Ala., Mon¬
day, July 8, 1946. He has com¬
fortable separate waiting rooms
for white and colored. Office
hours will be ten a. m. until
ten p. m.
TRUMAN EMERGENCY
MEASURE SEEMS UNWANTED
Washington, June 30.—Presi¬
dent Truman’s emergency
anti-strike bill, which congress
cheered only a month ago, now
appears unloved, unwanted and
unlikely to succeed.
Administration leaders are not
pushing it, although the Pres¬
ident again formally asked
for it on June 11.
The lack of steam behind the
measure has been widely noticed
on Capitol Hill.
Today it- was on Speaker Sam
Rayburn’s desk and no one had
yet risen to fight for it further.

Paralysis Foundation
Has Fine Showing
The annual meeting of the
Georgia State Chapter National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly¬
sis held in Atlanta June 21,
Chairman William K. Jenkins,
reported that during the fiscal
year ending May 31, the chapter
had expended $117,000 for ser¬
vices rendered to individuals in¬
cluding $78,500 for hospital care,
$5,000 for transportation of pa¬
tients to and from hospitals and
clinics; $16,500 for Orthopedic
appliances (such as braces,
shoes, corsets, etc.);$17,000 for
doctor and nurse services.
Mr. Jenkins stated that the
State Chapter experi¬
enced the greatest increase in
an expanded program of service
since its organization. This, of
course, has been made possible
only because of the continued
interest and generous financial
support of the people of Georgia
during the annual March of
Dimes. During the year, Mr.
Jenkins continued, the chapter
gave financial aid for care and
treatment to 583 poliomyelitis
victims in Georgia representing
132 counties; 117 of these cases
were reported during the current
year and 466 were previously re¬
ported. The , activities of the
chapter included the training of
public health nurses at Warm
Springs, Red Cross nurses’ aides
and instructors at Atlanta at a
cost of $3,000; estabilishing a Po¬
lio Center at Grady Memorial
Hospital at a cost of $20,000;
and placing equipment in hos¬
pitals and clinics amounting to
$9,500.
Mr. N. Baxter Maddox, treas¬
urer, read an audited report
showing the chapter had receiv¬
ed from the 1946 March of Dimes
$167,000 and now has a cash bal¬
ance in the bank of $127,000 and
U. S. Bonds in the amount of
$226,000 held for a reserve a-
gainst-an epidemic emergency.
Mr Jenkins stated further,
“With ample funds at its dispos
al the Georgia Chapter is in po¬
sition to give immediate and ef¬
ficient aid to any person who
might become a victim of infan¬
tile paralysis, regardless of age,
color or creed. In other words,
there is no reason whatever for
any polio victim in the state of
Georgia to go without care or
treatment because of lack of
funds. While a number of cases
have been reported in surround¬
ing states, cases reported in
Georgia are slightly under that
of last year and for this reason
thero should be no fear of an
epidemic in our state.”
In October, 1945, through the
instrumentality of Mr. Robert
P. Maddox, former chairman of
the Georgia State Chapter, a
Poliomyelitis Center was estab¬
lished at the Grady Memorial
Hospital in Atlanta, under the
supervision of Dr. R. L. Bennett,
Director of Physical Medicine,
Georgia Warm Springs Founda¬
tion. This center is adequately
staffed and equipped to give im¬
mediate aid and efficient hos¬
pital care to acute and early
convalescent polio patients
fast as they are reported either
to the Health Department or to
the Georgia State Chapter.
High tribute was paid to the
Officers and Executive Commit
tee in carrying through the im¬
portant work of the Georgia
State Chapter with special
commendation given the Gov¬
ernor Ellis Arnall, Honorary
State Chairman Mr. Wm. K. Jen¬
kins, State Chairman and Mr.
Freeman Strickland who directed
the 1946 Georgia March of Dimes
Officers unanimously re-elect¬
ed are Wm. K. Jenkins, chair¬
man; Mrs. Frank A. Dennis, vice
chairman; N. Baxter Maddox,
treasurer; and Miss Anna Kothe,
secretary.

GREAT RECORD OF
PUBLIC SERVICE
Walter R. McDonald, chair¬
man of the Georgia Public Serv¬
ice Commission, richly deserves
reelection to that office. He is
seeking endorsement from the
voters of Georgia on the basis of
a record of public service.
Mr. McDonald’s qualifications
are pointed out in a published
endorsement issued by promi¬
nent citizens of his home county
and the counties of his Judicial
Circuit.
The statement points out that,
in spite of total blindness and
the added handicap of limited
financial resources, Walter Me
Donald secured a complete edu¬
cation by self-effort, graduating
from the University of Georgia.
He made a success as a practic
ing attorney and represented his
native county for three terms in
the Legislature before becoming
a member and chairman of the
Public Service Commission, to
which the people have reelected
him repeatedly. His career
challenges admiration and is a
proof of his ability and charac¬
ter, the statement added, con¬
tinuing:
“Under Walter McDonald’s
guidance, the Public Service
Commission has promoted and
fostered Rural Electrification
expansion to the extent that
Georgia is preeminent in the
number of farm homes served
with electricity. His record shows
that utility services have been
greatly expanded during his ad¬
ministration and the rates for
electric and other utility serv¬
ices have been reduced to the
lowest level in Georgia history.
During the war years, when ev¬
ery other item on the family
budgart was advancing, Utility
rates were reduced each year,
representing more than five
millionn dollars in annual sav¬
ings for Georgia people.
“In addition, as pointed out
editorily by both the Augusta
papers, published in Walter
McDonald’s home town, he is
and has been the dynamo and
the most active figure in the
South’s fight for freight rate
equality, and already has secur¬
ed freight adjustments that
represent annual savings to
Georgia shippers running into
hundreds of thousands of
The statement pointed out
Walter McDonald served
ably during the war as chair¬
of a committee of State
cooperating with
war agencies, and that,
addition, he headed the Civ¬
Defense Committee of
for the protection of
service utilities.

admirers in his home coun¬
ty, who commend Walter
McDonald to our fellow vot¬
ers as a worthy and deserv¬
ing public servant).

BAD WEATHER
By Menchew Macbeth
CHAPTER ONE
It was not in a juke joint but
in a railroad station a few years
ago he had met her. He had
often wandered in there to sit
on the smooth cool old benches
of the shadowy ancient waiting
room and to get a cold lime
drink at the fountain. That
particular evening he had just
finished a greasy lunch at the
Italian cafe across the street
and with what he had had to
drink was feeling comfortably
drowsy-headed.
He thought he would go in
and buy a ticket to the next
large town, this would give him
a chance to sleep awhile with¬
out being disturbed and anoth¬
er chance at another job. He
had seen the woman almost at
once, dark eyes staring into
space—two heavy braids of dark
brown hair wound around a
high crown above a white face.
There was a look of loneliness
about her, he could appreciate
that sort of look. Loneliness
had driven him from here to
yonder for a long while now,
and to his detriment most of¬
ten to hot night spots. Haunt¬
ing the juke joints each evening
because of that empty place
where ;his heart should have
been, and because his thirst for
alcohol could be waited upon at
such places; drinking himself
to a drugged sleep each nighit
only to dream over and over of
the woman, a figure that dwelt
always somewhere in the cloudy
redesses of his mind whether
asleep or awake. He had hit
bottom and faced the awful
possibility of living the balance
of his days that way. Now he
had seen her, this woman, for
she was a woman, a full bodied,
settled woman—she was THE
woman! The one whose image
had been with him so long. He
looked away quickly—sitting for
a long moment gazing out the
distant doorway where the sou¬
thern sunset blazed sullenly a-
cross a muddy sky. It must be
a figment of his imagination
he mused yet even with his eyes
closed he could still see her face!
He looked once more, his heart
a-quiver—yes, she was there al¬
right real as life and still star¬
ing into space. He tried to set¬
tle his whirling brain, he had
to speak to her—to hear her
voice—to see her smile just
He gripped both knees
his knuckles
white and muttered un¬
his breath “I’ve got t’ clear
head—somehow,” and set¬
his lips in a firm line he
hastily from the station
briskly around the
keeping his eyes on the
to the building. Mean¬
the woman had wandered
to the news stand and was
timidly, “Could I look
the axis?” “Yes,’, the girl
her, “If you put it back be¬
the boss returns.” “ No
she sighed, as she laid
paper down. “I’ll have to

CAMPAIGN MISREP¬
RESENTATIONS j
Unsigned ads attacking Tar¬
ver’s record in five or six par¬
ticulars have been published in
the papers of the district. In
view of his many years of serv¬
ice, thousands of votes on ma¬
jor issues, and the part he had
in important legislation, it is
significant that attacks are
limited to so few cases. Even
these would not have been made
had the splendid gentleman op¬
posing me been correctly ad¬
vised as to the facts. They are
with reference to i these partic¬
ular charges:
1. Tarver voted for, not a-
gainst, the soldiers’ VOTE bill.
(Congressional Record, 78th
Congress, 2nd Session, Volume
90, Part 1, Page 1229).
2. Reported as chairman of
the committee writing the bill
$7,984,900 for Crop Insurance
for the present year and sup¬
ported it, instead of opposing it
as so charged, while he express¬
ed doubts as to the success of
the program. (Congressional
Record, 79th Congress, 1st Ses¬
sion, Volume 6, Pages 2587 and
2588).
3. Not only has supported Ru¬
ral Electrification but brought
the bill making available
for R. E. A. loans for
next fiscal year. (Congres¬
