ENTERING THE NEW DAY
Milledgeville stands upfen the
threshold of the new season, it faces
many thingn to make our people
optimistic.
The new cotton year comes in, the
new renting season begins, the pre
paration to send the children back
to school is under way. and other
new beginning* are being made.
The farm relief funds are being
paid t/ the government to the till
ers of the soil thus adding to pur
chasing power.
The increase of employment are
pouring more money into the chan
nels of fade and busine.-s generally.
Industrial recovery is well under
way, and all sorts of plans are be
ing put into effect by the federal
government to put money into this
and other sections to speed the eco
nomic rehabilitation.
The government's plans for the
farmers will raise the price of his
produce, and the prospect is that a
long-range cotton-planting program
will bc worked out that will send the
price on this staple to higher levels,
Improved farm-ng in general in
Central Georgia will mean increas
ing wealth.
New paved highways in thc not-
distant future will extend the Mil-
ledgeville territory and a-d the whole
section, bringing in tourists from
other parts of the country.
The federal public-works oppor
tunities are being held out to us.
In fact, we are now entering into
1 new and better day.
