OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY
HDUDAT, JAN. 17, IMS
The trees planted over the city
will add much to the beauty of our
community within a few years.
TTve City Council enters the new
year with many progressive plans.
We wish for them success in all
their undertakings.
The attention of Georgians is de-
vided between what the legislature
is doing and what is going o
Congress.
G. S. C. \V. is making the Gov
ernment park and the newly ac
quired lands adjoining the most
beautiful section of our city.
Passage of the bill paying the
soldiers bonus is accepted. What the
Congress will do with the Presi
dent’s veto, is the question now.
The Bankhead bill has been worth
millions of drllars to the cotton
farmers of the south. Another year
will see further progress under the
jurisdiction of the control bill.
The G. M. C. r^dets made a won

NBA AND THE NEW YEAR
American business will move
ahead vigorously under the NRA in
1935. This is the consensus of lead
ers of trade and industry based up
on successful experience in operat
ing under NRA codes of fair compe

and a half that have passed since
President Roosevelt approved the
Recovery Act in June 1933.
Business optimism concerning 1935
Is based upon concrete results

year of business operation under the
codes. The extension of the life of

Judge Park came out in favor of

AMERICAN CULTURE
The general state of culture in ihe
United States of America may be
guaged by statistics showing 100
grocery stores, fifty-nine filling
stations, forty-nine restaurants and
nineteen drug stores to every book
store in the land of the brave and
home of the alleged free.
It is funny, when you think of it,
that men and women who willing
ly spend a few dollars to visit a
theatre or restaurant are struck with
horror at the thought of paying as
much as two dollars for a good
book. After all, what are the public
schools for if the average American
hasn’t a desire to continue his in

A LOYAL DOLLAR
(By Clayton Band)
The movement to trade at home
has been long stirred in your com
munity. A part of every dollar lo
cally spent stays there.
But more of the local dollars
spent for printing stays at home than
the dollar spent for any other form
of merchandise. Seventy cents out
of every dollar spent for printing
goes directly into wages.
The local merchant who buys his
printing away from home realy robs
his cash register.
Patronize your local printer. The
dollar you spend with him is the most
loyal dollar that circulates in your
community.
AN OCCASION FOE CONGRATU
LATIONS
With tne announcement this week
that the dry goods store known for
re than a quarter of a century
E. E. Bell’s will in the future be
known as E. E. Bell Co., it is the
occasion for’congratulations to Mr.
Bell for the long record he has estab
lished in the mercantile business in
this city.
Mr. Bell began business thirty-
four years ago and has through
strict application of the best
principles of business ethics, un
tiring work and a fair attitude to
ward the buying public establish
ed the reputation as one of Mil-
lcdgeville’s most successful add
accomplished business men. The
Bell has long been
national life.
In attempting to forecast the fu
ture of business in 1935 it is well to
recount a few of the achievements
of NRA which justify further optim
ism. The reemployment of millions
of men. the shortening df work
weeks, the raising of minimum wages
the addition of billions of dollars to
ihe national income, the elimination
of child labor, the wiping out of
suicidal competitive practices—these
are truisms of NRA that will stand
repeating.
Of great importance at this time
in estimating the trend of busi
ness in the New Year is a survey
recently conducted among business
publications. The volume of business
Hone in the first quarter of 1935 will
be larger in most lines, in the opinion
of editors of leading industrial
publications, ss revealed in this sur
vey by Associated Business Papers,

operating costs through higher wage
and material bills and price in
stability.
Here is a summary of some of the
predictions mode by editors in touch
with special lines of business.
Department-store sales are expect
ed to continue their recent gains into
the first quarter of 1935; hardware
and shoe buying for the spring is al
ready progressing increased volume:
LOOKING INTO THE YEAR 1935
The Union-rtccordcr cannot give
• any of our citizens any of the
orldly goods that they might de-
re but we can give to them the
;ry best that is in us to help pro-
,ote a greater city and county so „

,— j s expected to duplicate the 1934
performance in early 1935.
Automotive trade papers predict
a material pick-up in their indus
try* in the first quarter of 1935 as
compared with last year. The steel
outlook is encouraging, according to
the heads of publications in that in
dustry. Editors following the ma
chine-tool trade consider the pros
pects for the coming quarter bright
in respect both to volume and
profits. Wholesalers of electrical
apparatus, after a rise in business
in 1934 estimated at 35 percent, are
expected to show a still further im
provement in coming months.
Building-trade editors see some
confusion in the first quarter as the
industry awaits clarification of pub
lic-works plans, and the passage of
needed mortgage legislation in many
States. For the full year, however,
it is felt that residential building
might even triple the 1934 total*-
while remodeling may be twice as
active as in 1934.
have it come true, we would wish
for a united citizenship. The burial
of all hatreds and animosities and
every c’tizcn place service above
self, and wc are confident that this
•ear would be the banner year of
time to Milledgeville.
We make this pledge to our sub-
:cribers as our part ir. rendering an
acceptable service to cur community.
We promise to give all the news
•f the tCTitory; clean news, con
structive news, hopeful, wholesome
ews, new' that will bring happiness
and cheer in every heme.
We pledge ourselves to the con
tinuance of an editorial policy
which has the courage of its con
victions, which is fearless in the
expression of riplitrousnes and in
the espousal of ju.-t:ec to all. to
the end that all citizens may have
a fairer and more equitable chance
to live.
We pledge ourselves to the devo
tion of the good of the community,
to be a civic booster, working un
ceasingly to make this community a
better place in which to live. We
will be an ally of the strong and
a defender of weak, and do all in
our power to protect our people
and to gat state and fwfarml aid in
providing man and remedies to
eradicate them. It has been a long
the state and thousands ot hogs and
cattle have died from the effects of
the worms. Every hog and cow or
other animal that dies ought to be
burned or buri.-d without delay. At
first many people paid little atten
tion to the screw worms ami be
lieved that they would not become
numerous and play such havoc as
they have, but now all seem to be
fully aroused as to the amount of
damage they have done the farm-
anti it is hoped that a concert
ed effort will be made to get rid of
them as far as possible It behooves
every individual who has hegs and
cattle to do all they can to eliminate
the worms.
LEGISLATIVE FLANS
we may judge by what we read
in the papers, considerable time dur
ing the next session of Congress and
the Georgia General Assembly is go
ing to be taken up with considera
tion of old age pensions and un
employment insurance. Both are
worth, while undertakings and mat
ters we would like to see put over
a sensible manner.
One proposition to be presented
to Congress will call for paying
every person over sixty years of
ago $200 a month, with the require
ment that every penny of the money
be spent every month. It will be ad
mitted that this would be simply
fine for the aged, but the amount
is unreasonable. There has been
some talk in Georgia of on allow-
of $30 a month for those over
sixty. This is more within the bounds
of reason. It would not be surprising
for Congress to adopt a form of
old age pensions in which the states
would share, with the monthly pay
ments ranging around a reasonable
amount. The requirement that the
pensioner spend all of the money
■h month also is practical—they
should be paid no more than they
will need.
The problem of unemployment
insurance is one that will not be
easy to solve, but it probably will
work out in somc kind of legisla
tion. Labor wants the employer to
pay the cost, but we think the
charge should be deducted from the
worker’s pay. It would not cost him
much and he is the one to benefit
from the insurance.
Old age pensions and unemploy
ment they are issues too big to be
handled on a national basis. State
co-operation, of course, would be
helpful and expedite the handling
of the matters, but they are issues
too big to be handled by the states
alone. Some states are now attempt
ing to provide these humanitarian
benefits, but we believe they should
be provided on a national basis and
not in a state-wide manner.
Over half the steles now have o’d
age pensions, and The Greensboro
Herald-Journal thinks we ought to
make it a federal system. The pen
sions as now in operation for the
various states follow: Alaska, $35 a
month for males and S45 a month for
females; Arizona, $30 a month; Cali
fornia. $1 a day; Colorado. $1 a
