the most effective ways

Answers to political question-
aire:
Q. 1 What do you consider
the most effective ways of
strengthening the United
tions?
A. I know of no other
v,ay to answer your
relative to the strengthening
the United Nations than to
vou part of the report of
Committee on Foreign
on H. R. 6802 which is a bill
strengthen the United
and promote International co-
-peration for Peace.
“Section 1 (b) states the
of the people of the United
States through
process to strive to
the aims and purposes set
in the Charter of the United
Nations and to strengthen
United Nations by certain
fied steps- The steps are
as follows:
(1) To confirm the status
the United Nations in its
quarters site with
privileges and immunities,
facilitate' the building of
United Nations
and to increase the
of the United States’
tion in the work of the
Nations.
(2) To seek by voluntary
tion of the members of
United Nations the
of voting procedures in the
curity Council, specifically
elimination of the veto on
settlement of international
putes and situations and on
admission of new members.
(3) To press for
to provide the United
with armed forces as contem
plated in Charter and for
ments to achieve universal
trol of weapons of mass
struction and universal
tion and reduction of
including armed forces
safeguards to protect
nations against violation
evasion.
' 4 * To encourage—and to
sociate the U. s. with
and other collective
arrangemnts, consistent with
Charter, involving
and affecting the national
curity of the U. S.; and to
clear the U. S-
to exercise its right of
fense under the Charter in
of attack upon any
Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia.
THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1948.
when American national security
is involved,
(5) To initiate consultations
among the members concerning
the need for the posibility of
amending the Charter to enable
the United Nations more effec
tive'iy to prohibit and prevent
aggression and other breaches
of the peace."
I might add that I think all
cf these changes can be made
without necessarily barring Rus-
sia from further participation,
I agree with Secretary Marshall
that the revision of the United
Nations should not go to the
extent of causing Russia to with-
draw from the Untied Nations.
Q. 2. What government ac-
tion should be taken to encour-
age a healthy domestic economy?
A. Retail credit restraint
should be restored and powers
of Federal Reserve Board used
to restrict bank credit. I do not
think it possible at this time to
restore controls of wages and
prices and believe it was an error
that they were removed too soon.
Anti-trust laws should be strictly
in force.
Q 3. What is your attitude
toward the progressive reduction
of trade barreriers by the U. S.?
A. I am in favor of the Hull
Reciprocal Trade Program and
think it should be extended with!
out hampering amendments.
Q. 4. What do you consider
the most important issues facing
__f r ^. hi h Ca f ° r c ° n
gressional , action? 0
A. Housing. Equalization of
educational opportunities. Ac¬
tion to stabilize our economy. I
think Soil Conservation and
Farm Program should be
strengthened and expanded, to
parantee fanners adequate re-
turns fer their labor.

Clothesline Art Show
Was Great Success
“Plumneily” is a comical word,
yet it is the name of one of the
most beautiful location's in Dade
County. It represents a rustic
log cabin amid majestic trees
overlooking Johnson’s Crook
near Rising Fawn-
Here Miss Fannie Mennen pre¬
sented the second annual
Clothesline Art Exhibit Sunday.
This is indeed a unique way of
presenting paintings, hanging
them out like clothes on a line.
Art shows are usually quiet and
dull in some great silent room,
but because the paintings were
shown in the enviornment which
they represented they took on
more color and meaning.
Depiciting nature scenes along
Lookout Mountain and of the
people living here, the paintings
were done in watercolors. Of
about fifty paintings some re¬
membered were of Messers
“Super” Moore’s house, Roy
Moore’s barn and hay baler, the
' old Pace barn, Cloudland Can-
yon and Johnson's Crook. Fur-
thermore her many paintings
I of native mountain flowers, from
the smallest to the largest were
1 expressed in their natural color
and daintiness. Miss Mennen
proved that a common toadstool
can and is beautiful when studi-
ed in watercolor. Another out-
standing painting entitled
“Winged Victory” showed an old
tree which had been blown down
D y the wind leaving the branches
stretched to the sky such as to
remind one of the famous statue
0 j the same name in Europe,
The q ud ts which were made
by the ladies on the mountain,
were of a variety of designs and
colors which made the scene
I particularly eyecatching. Several
quilts were sold to the visitors-
0 ne of the oldest quilts shown
was owned by the Overdeer
I f am |iy and had been in their
possession for fifty-one years.
Sponsored by the Bookmobile

^ to pay for the new
library truck . Homemade apple
I cidar apd gingerbread furnished
by Mrs; Art Moore, were sold out
