The Commissioners have been
steadily asking that the road to Ir-
winton be graded and widened. They
have gone before the highway de
partment and would have had it
through, had it not been for
protest on the part of a few people
who delayed the work because they
wanted the road run in another
tion. The possibility of this road be

The law against the operation of
slot machines and gambling dvrees
should bo rigidly enforced in Mfl-
ledgeville and Baldwin county. Un
der an ordinance passed by the City
Council the police were instructed to
t cases against all operators of
slot machines, and have them bound
to higher courts for law viola
tion.
The teachers in the public schools
of Baldwin county are fortunate as
they receive their salaries monthly.
There n re counties in Georgia where
this is not done.
The four banks of Milledgcvillc
continue to enjoy prosperity. Their
deposits have kept up and in some in
stances inereared. .The people have
never Inst confidence in their fi
nancial institutions.
From time to time The Union-Re.
conler has urged the merchants and
business men to organise for the pur
port of enlarging the trading terri
tory of M'lledgeville Ruch an organ
ization could do profitable work.
A loyai citizen to the community

hound to spend his monev with his
local merchants. He should not go
aw**v f*^m home to hnv hut should
keep his money in circulation in the
town in which be makes It.
It can be expected that spring
weather, which is net far distant in
the future, wilt not only bring out
vegetation, hut will open up politics
in the State and bring candidates
for the various states offices out in
the open.
The rat is recogn^ed as one of

country. Ten thousand persons are

The Union-Recorder is firmly con
vinced I *hat if there had not been a
change in the government adminis
tration last March, this country
would have been the same condi
tion France is in today. There is no
double but that President Roosevelt
by carrying out his policies saved
this country from turmoil and drift,
and may be a revolution.

The County Cummiarieoeia
made a definite promise by the high
way department that if the rght-of-
ways were secured for the new 1
ton road without cost, that the work
would be authorised immediately. The
eitisens and land owners in the sooth

given the needed right-of-way and

SEWAGE FOR WEST END
It seems that a logical and reason-
able proposition has been presented,
the city whereby sewage can be laid
in west end and afford the residents
of this section this sanitary conven
ience.
The possibility of this improvement
being made a CWA project is very
promising provided the city will take
advantage of it IMr. J. S. Bone, who
owns considerable property in this
section, has offered to give the
nccesrary pipe 'or the work and to
allow the city to pay this back on a
yearly basis by taking a part each
year from the taxes Mr. Bone and
his company. The Oconee Clay Pro
ducts Co., will pay. This : s a reason
able and fa«r offer because it makes
it possible for the city to acquire the
material for the sewage project
West End wlthou* an outlay of cash
and without interest charges on
money.
If a CWA project for this work
can be approved, all labor will be
furnished. All thnt is necessary for
the c ! ty to do is provide the services
of an engineer to make the neces
sary survey, and according to an
engineering authority, this can be
procured at a low cost.
If sewage are laid in this section
health project of lasting value will
have been put over during the CWA
work in the eity. It seems to us to
rare opportunity and one that
the e ! ty can no* afford to turn down
or refuse. Many towns in Georgia
are fighting for sewage projects,
realising the great importance th ;<
Is to the permanent health aui safety
of a community. It I* only a matter
of a few years before this work will
have to be done. 8o it seems that
with the opportunity for the city to
save all labor costs and to secure
the necessary material under auch
an advantage, that they should not
hesitate to take the advantage
Sewage are not only needei
West End but in other sections. The
city can ill afford to delay this work
longer.

Henry Morgenthau, Sr.
amfbasaador to Turkey, in a recent
talk before the c vie clube of Bruns
wick, Georgia, referred <• the Presi
dent as “the savior of the United
States.” In diacuaeing the preeent
situation, the speaker declared:
“Tbe great present fight ia

striving for a right to proper Ihr’ng
hnd the few who have entrenched
themselves behind the special privi
leges and are exploiting the masses.
“In March, 1933, the country com.
fronted a great disaster and a pos

WEALTH STILL IN THE SOIL
The Cnicago News expresses the
opinion thut prosperity ia on the
way, but the people must work for
its realization. It quotes the Biblical
command:
“In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread-” Here are the main
po'nts made by the News:

the year that has taught us much in
to a year that we know not of, let us
cling to these inrmutable truths:
“No nation can ever spend its way
back to prosperity; it's got to WORK
its way back—there is no substitute
for work.
"Unearned riches cannot endure.
“The wealth is still in the soil, and
it is ours for the digg ng.
"Nothing can take the place of
plain honesty.
“And richest of all ia the man
who still has friends and his faith.
“Blackness has turned into dawn
