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.

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. >

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.

CROSSWALKS AND SAFTEY
ZONES
Crosswalks and saftey zones
are for pedestrians—and they
have rights which auto drivers
are bound to respect,
slow down, and have your car
under control when approach-
ing a pedestrian area-
Keep in Mind: That some
pedestrian may take a chance
and try to beat your car to the
crossing; that an old person
may start across the street and
become confused; that children
may rush across the street—
they know nothing about traf-
rules—and easily become
frightened or confused,
According to the National
conservation Bureau, many peo-
pie cannot judge - - the - speed • of - a
car, and, therefore do not al-
low time enough to escape an
approaching vehicle, It is bet-
ter to yield some of your own
rights than have an accident
which might cause a death.
if we would reach a stable civ-
za tion, we must penetrate be-
0 w political and economic trou-
into their causes and bring
a fundamental change in
bases of life. — Arthur H.
