Being Rebuilt A construction crew arrived this week to start work on the rebuilding of the local culverts on the Alabama Great Southern railroad. The ten cars in which these men make their home have been sidetracked at Trenton, which will be their headquarters while in the county. It is esti- - - - — I * la ^ ed that It will take about 60 days to complete the necessary work ‘ F. D. R. Shrine World Travelers , j Atlanta, Oct. 15. though the Little White House Warm Springs will not be ed to the public until early 1948, thousands of people every state in the nation from 21 foreign countries stopped and viewed it from j distance during the past year. These travelers from the corners of the world have in such great numbers that ready the Little White where the President died denly in 1945, is ranked as of the country’s shrines. In reporting a continually in- j creasing late number President’s of to the home,” Ivan Allen, Sr., of ta, chairman of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Warm Springs Memo- rial Commission, predicts an ev- en greater interest in the shrine once the building itself is open ed to the public, Meanwhile, the Little White House and grounds are re novated and furnished for the formal opening scheduled ear i y next year. At present, visitors are confined to the out- er premises, where signatures reveal they have come from as far as the hot sands of Saudi, Arabia; from the frozen waste lands of Siberia—from Austra¬ lia, Holland and El Salvador. Everything the Little White House contains will be made se- cure against the impulses of souvenir snatchers, Chairman Allen asserted. Pictures will be battened to the walls with heavy angle irons, steel rods will an- C hor the stems of goblets, and Mr. Roosevelt’s beloved ship models will be held fast with fj ne s teel wire. Everything will be there to see—but nothing to I take, is the way Mr. Allen put it. -—---- ' gEVENTH district G. E. A- TO LD , N R0ME OCT 2 \ M r. L. M.

Reds Dry Cleaners In New Building Reds Dry Cleaners is finally installed in their new establish¬ ment in the south end of the new concrete block building be¬ tween The Times building and the Co-Op. Moving of the large and heavy machinery was quite a job and even with the utmost care one of the machines was dropt and had to be repaired. During this moving interval the shop was closed for a few days but we would say from our visit there this week that “Red” did not lose any of his customers. Clothing was piled Ijigh waiting its turn in the cleaning fluid vat. This is operated by Herman Fisher who has recently joined “Red’s” staff. Gordon Steele was capably running one of the presses and James “Red” Goodwin, owner of the business, was working bu¬ sily at a new press which he had just received. “Red” hopes that with this new press and with more room in which to move around that they will soon be able to catch up on their work and will be able to return to you your clean¬ ed garments within a reasona¬ ble length of time. Hospital Fund Allot¬ ments For Ga. Made Three-fourths of the 1947 Fed¬ eral aid for Georgia for hospit¬ al construction has been tenta¬ tively allotted, it was announced Saturday by the State Depart¬ ment of Public Health. The allotment of 5,277 beds was reported by Frank Smith of Rabun county, chairman of the advisory council of the health department. Mr. Smith said there are 1,715 beds yet to be allotted. The Federal aid is available to Georgia at the rate of $3,000,000 a year for a period of five years under the Hill-Burton Act. It represents one-third of the cost of constructing local hospitals. At the present time local com¬ munities must raise the remain¬ ing two-thirds, since no state aid is available. The tentative allotment of hospital beds will be submitted to the state board of health for its approval on October 16 and then a public hearing will be held on October 30.

Thopson EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT Atlanta A PROCLAMATION Whereas: The present high¬ way accident and death prob¬ lem throughout the United States presents a stark and grim picture which should receive the serious consideration of all thoughtful leaders in the coun¬ try; and Whereas: In Georgia last year, a total of 814 lost their lives as a result of highway traf¬ fic accidents; and Whereas: I know of no organ¬ ized group in Georgia better qualified to arouse the interest of our people and to exercise its influence as a service organiza¬ tion in an effort to remedy this deplorable condition and to safe¬ guard the lives of our citizens for effective immediate action, than the Christian leaders of our State; and Whereas: As a result of a dou¬ bled effort on the part of many individuals and organizations highway death and traffic acci¬ dents show a gradual decrease for this year, but to reduce the number of deaths and traffic accidents on our highways to a minimum, requires the help of everyone; Now, Therefore, I, M. E. Thompson, Governor of Georgia, do proclaim and designate Sun¬ day, October 26, 1947, as “Safety Sunday” and urgently request that every minister of the Gos¬ pel and Christian teacher or leader to direct at least a portion of their message to Safety on the highways; to ask Divine leadership to instill in the minds of the people of Georgia the im¬ portance of safety to prevent death and injury.
