PLAIN DICK RUSSELL
A SPLENDID ASSET
The Baldwin county earning plant
is in full operation, and hundreds
of quarts of vegetables and fruits
are in process of being conserved
for later use.
Begun last year late in the season
the plant was the means of great
help toward family maintenance and
this year even better results will be
obtained since the plan opened two

Others besides those on relief rolls

basis vegetables and fruits are can

shelves are stocked in this manner.
It is the opinion of the Recorder
that the canning plant is one of
Milledgerille and Raldwin county's
finest assets, benefiting as it does
the entire community.
THE UNDER PRIVILEGED CHILD
One of the greatest of all life's
tragedies is to see a little child suf
fering from some curable handicap,
but because of economic conditions,
her parents are unable to cor
rect, and leaves the little one handi
capped for life.
The Parent Teachers and Legion
Auxiliary have done a fine work
conducting the clinics to help
stump. Dick Russell is making
fine record in' Washington and is do
ing his level best to represent his
constituency. His recent move to
amend the works relief bill brought
him national recognition and stamp
ed him as a real statesman in the
upper house of Congress. He is the
same lovable character he has al
ways been. His rapid rise from rep
resentative in the Georgia assemb
ly, to speaker of the house, then
Governor of Georgia and into the
U. S. Senate has not gone to his
head. He continues to meet his
friends in the same informal manner
as always znd to the people of
Georgia he is now and always will
be just plain Dick Russell, a country
boy who came to town and made
good in a great way.

citizen’s creed which is well worth
following:
My town is the place where my
home is founded; where busi

cast: where my children are educat

where my life is chiefly lived. It is
the home spot for me. My town has
the right to my civic loyalty. It sup
ports me, and I must support it My
town wants my citizenship, not
dissension; sympathy, not criticism;
my inteligence, not indifference. My
town supplies me with law and or

recreation and the right of a free

my town and work for it.
The man or woman who cannot
accept this creed is not worthy of
being called a true citizen. Friendli

citizenship, all these go into the
making of a gdod citizen.
The Georgia Press Association
cepted the invitation of Milledgeville
to hold their annual convention here
in the summer of 1936.
Milledgeville has a great deal to
look forward to in planning and pre
paring to entertain this fine group
of outstanding Georgians. This will
be the Golden Jubilee convention of
the association and plans art being
made to make it the most outstanding
the press has ever held. Editors of
many of the nations leading news
papers will be invited to be present
and we are sure that the people ot
this city will have the pleasure of
entertaining, and hearing speak,
many of the nation’s great

meeting was held in the old state
capitol building and the sessions will
be held there again next summer.
We are more than pleased that the
press has accepted the invitation to
come here and we feel sure that
when their convention is ended they
will proclaim to the world in their
splendid papers that Milledgeville
ranks among the best cities they
have visited for entertainment and
real hospitality.
back trail toward economic security
and prosperous time3. We feel sure
this action met with the approval
of the great majority of the people
of Georgia.
The members of the association in
no uncertain terms placed their
stamp of approval on the New Deal,
and said to the world, ‘‘We stand
back of our President one hundred
per cent, and commend this greatest
of all humanatarians and Democrats
our people.”
The resolution that came on the
opening day of the convention fol
lowing the address of Governor Tal
ma dge was unfortunate. The Gov
ernor continued his attack on the
President and the New Deal, but a
resolution immediately following the
address was ill timed and should
have been ruled out of order. The
meeting was a public one and when
the editors voted to table the motion,
simply in respect to a guest
speaker, who had been invited to
address the convention, and in no
way voiced the sentiments of the
editors. On the following morning
the tabled resolution was removed
from the table by unamious vote
and a substitute resolution endors
ing the president and his work was
unamiously passed.
The membership of the Georgia
Press is composed of weekly editors
largely in the majority, and
lieve that no group of people more
directly reflect the feelings and
sentiments of the people than the
weekly editors of the state. The
weekly editor never hesitates to give
expresison to matters that vitally
effect the welfare of their people.
With this situation in mind we be
lieve that the resolution adopted
fleeted the opinion of a majority of
the people of this state.
The resolution certainly showed
a resentment to the stand the Gover
nor has taken against the
administration. Many ^

CONGRE88 APPROVES
“NUISANCE TAXES'.
FOR 1 YEAR MORE
(By G. N. 8.)
One-year extension of the federal
“nuisance taxes” was voted by con
gress last week. This tax bill, which
the administration had asked for a
two-year period will bring in ap
proximately $500,000,000. It is esti
mated that there wiH be a deficit of
$4,500,000,000 for the next fiscal
year.
'me nuisance taxes call for 3 in
stead of 2 cents on first class post
age; 1 cent a gallon tax on gasoline.
4 cents a gallon on lubricating oil. 15
cents a gallon on brewers wort and

when they named Mrs. H. D. Allen
as Baldwin county’s most outstand

This is an honor richly deserved by

Mrs. Allen has rendered an un
selfish service to this community
throughout her useful life, and with
it all there has never been the
hope of personal reward. or selfish
ambition motivating her many
worthwhile deeds. She has spent her
life here and with her esteemed and
revered husband, the late Dr. H. D.

hospitals in the south, which has
been a credit and benefit to this
community. She ha3 never shirked
