EDITORIAL ^ GOVERNOR - ELECT TALMADGE PASSES The death of Governor-Elect Talmadge brings sorrow to hearts of Georgia’s citizens who, one and all, sympathize with family who are bereft of their illustrious relative. For more than two decades Eugene Talmadge had served state, first as Commissioner of Agriculture, and later as for three terms; and his passing away at this time deprived of serving his fourth term as Chief Executive, to whdeh he would have been inaugurated again, on January 14, 1947. In all of his political campaigns the late Governor met efat only three times, once for the governorship and twice U. S- Senator, but his defeat did not discourage him nor his political aspirations, for he always returned to the hustings with a renewed vigor and ambition that led him victory. he met stren- in every political campaign Talmadge waged, ouus opposition, but being a born politician he was a campaigner that appealed to the people at large, and won largely because of his spectacular mannerisms and commanding personality. The Times has opposed Mr. Talmadge because we could not accept his political philosophy nor his rabble-rousing campaign¬ ing, and now in the shadow of his death we see no reason why we should accept his political ideology, which remains unchanged. We opposed Mr. Talmadge politically, but admired his per¬ sonality, for his was a charming personality, and being a man of strong convictions and with courage to sustain them, he was universally admired by friend and foe. The Times deeply regrets the passing of this great Georgian, and extends sympathy to the bereft family. -:x:- DO YOUR PART IN SAFETY Motorists are not mind readers. They can’t tell when you are going to step out in front of them. if you are walking, help the motorist to avoid hitting you by keeping your eyes open. Do not cross streets while reading a newspaper. Don’t expect motorists to see you at night. Headlights offer only limited vision. Wear something white and walk facing the traffic on the left-hand side of the road- Last year, 175 pedestrians were killed in Georgia. Rain increases road hazards. Remember that drivers cannot see clearly through a wet windshield. Don’t bury your head in an umbrella while you walk. You are leaving yourself as un¬ protected as a blind man. A Merry Christmas can easily become one of horror! All; who frequent our streets and highways, both automobi®sts and pedestrians,, should use every precaution while traveling or cross¬ ing a street or highway, to avoid an accident. Common sense and common courtesy should be used by ev¬ eryone who frequent highways, observing the Golden Rule al¬ ways—and above all avoid driving while one is drinking intox¬ icating liquor. > -:x:- GOVERNOR ARNALL TO ASSIST THOMPSON During the past two years, The Times has not always agreed with Governor Ellis Arnall’s political actions, but we most hear tily endorse his announced decision to assist Lt. Thompson in attaining the Governorship to which he was elected. In framing the new Constitution of Georgia, some of the phraseology may be vague, but it certainly was not the intention of the authors to provide for the selection of a man to our Chief Extcutive of our state, when he had never been a can ciidate, and certainly not the choice of the people. Lt. Governor-Elect Thompson was elected by the people Georgia with the full knowledge that he would become upon death or resignation of the Chief Executive, and any tempt to foist another man upon the people purely on a cality is an insult to the intelligence of our entire citizenship. We do not believe that the late Eugene Talmadge would dorse such an action, even though the beneficiary were his son. The people of Georgia will appreciate Governor Arnall’s in assisting Lt. Governor-Elect Thompson in assuming the to which he was really and truly elected. If the members of the General Assembly do their duty with out prejudice or bias, they will disregard the claims of the madge followers and allow Lt. Governor-Elect Thompson to come Governor, and thus carry out the will of the people. -------- JUST SUPPOSE Just suppose that a member of your family was one of number of tuberculosis sufferers who died in Dade county the year that is coming to an end within the next two weeks? Just suppose that you were one of the sufferers from dread disease, and that there was no place available for you receive proper care or treatment? These may be only suppo sitions to you. but stark realities to your neighbor or some fellow citizen. Sympathy alone, like faith, availeth nothing. Unless sympathy is so sincere that it provokes us to action, it is ineffect¬ ive and vain. There is one way that now presents a means to show sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers of the Great White Plague, Tuberculosis. BUY CHRISTMAS SEALE.
