President of the Georgia Educa- i tional Association, and Super¬ intendent of the Polk County School system, John Emberson, Superintendent of Catoosa County Schools, John Warr, for¬ mer Floyd County School Su¬ perintendent, and R. H. Miller, present Superintendent of the County Schools of Floyd. Mr R a i p h Jackson, Chairman of the Board of Education of Polk County accompanied Mr. Anderson. These gentlemen came up to attend an educa- tional rally held at Western H school in old Georgetown, now a part of Washington. School officials and board members from all over the U. S. attended this meeting to lay before the (public and the members of Con- g ress present, the urgent neces- sity for Federal aid for those school districts which had suf¬ fered a .-special Federal impact county is a good illustration in our own district of this deluge new pupils that were brought to the county’s shools because 0 f the location of the Bell Bom- ber Plant in Marietta. While the (plant is not now in operation, people who came to live in Marietta and Cobb County are | still there, and the children must be educated, | The Federal Government has | recognized its responsibility in this and other like cases, and has for a number of years con¬ tributed funds to such school systems, through what was first known as the Lanham Act, and later the Landis and Weir Acts. This year an attempt is being made to write a more perma¬ nent and inclusive law to con tinue such aid where the im¬ pact still exists and where it re¬ occurs by the re-activation of various Armed Services and other Governmental installa¬ tions. Four counties in our dis¬ trict have been able to qualify under previous acts, and I am hopeful that others may qualify under the proposed new act, which will be known a,s the Bai¬ ley Bill, since Congressman Rising Fawn News A three act play, entitled ‘■Old Fashioned Mother” will be presented by the Eighth Grade Class of the Rising Fawn Junior High School at the School Au¬ ditorium, on May 5th at 8:00 o’clock.

Admission will be ___ Bailey of West Virginia Ls the Chairman of the sub-committee that has made a study of the problem. This committee visited vtJanta last Fall, and Paul Sprayberry appeared as a wit- ness before it, speaking for the schools of the State which had suffered this sudden influx of children because of the war ef- :ort and other Federal activi¬ ties. This Limited Aid Bill Is Only One Likely To Pass At the invitation of the sub¬ committee that is studying the proposed bill, I have been at- tending their meetings and have helped to draft it. School of- ficials here and members of the i Committee on Education and ; Labor believe this is the only ' bill for Federal aid to education > that will pass at this session. So naturally I am doing everything possible to get the bill’s provi- sions liberal enough to cover all the counties in our district who have suffered from the Federal impact above described.

Chattanooga, Tennessee POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT I announce my candidacy for Judge of the newly created LooKout Judicial Circuit, corn- posed of Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade and Walker Counties, in the Democratic primary election to be held June 28, 1950. I am running my own race and do not have and will not; have ties or connections with other races and candidates in the Democratic Primary or Ge¬ neral Election. I expect to see as many that voters as possible, and regret I may miss seeing ot them. I earnestly re¬ quest my friends and supporters assist me in my election to this highly responsible and im portant office. I feel that I am qualified to fill the office. I re¬ ceived an A. B. degree and L. L. B. degree from the University of Georgia, and have practiced law since 1926, except approxim¬ ately fifty-five months of ser¬ vice in the U. S. Army in the Judge Advocate General’s De¬ partment during World War II. I find the people want a fair, unbiased and impartial Judge and a Judge who will run his own court in a proper and digni¬ fied manner. If elected, I expect to measure up to such require¬ ments as far as humanly passible. I am a native of Walker Coun¬ ty, and practice law at LaFay¬ ette, Georgia. Freeman C. McClure.
