When a newspaper puts the services of the community above self then that newspaper is ac complishing needed things for the community and is an effective force among the people.

It is rather hard to do your best when I he business houses don’t support such it nows paper with their job work and advertising. The business bouses of Cleveland could at least show their appreciation of The Courier’s efforts by giving us all their job work and advertise in their home town newspaper regu¬ larly.

The Courier would like to again place on column 1 our platform for our goal to work for improvements essential for Cleveland’s and White County’s futuri development But to do this we must know that White County will liave a pro¬ gressive Chairman of p he County Com miseioners—one who can sec what lies in the future and who can and will cooperate iu every progressive move for White County’s future development. White County’s future progress rest solely with the voter in electing a Chair¬ man of the County Commissioners. The Cornier is vitally interested in White (-ounty’s future and we feel conli dent that a silver lining is hanging over our county if the voter will elect a pro¬ gressive Chairman of the County Commis¬ sioners on Match 11.

Beauty Can Be Bought Very Cheaply ith Trees Tries can make the appearance of,, town and the lack of tiees can help break it. Oneof the most attrac'ive s’glits in the worl jFisa stieet of neat homes built along a green, leafy lane Out; of the most eye-catching things in any city is a clump of trees in the barren pattern of asphalt concrete bricks, I an article in the Georgia Local Gov "ernmental Journal, Hubert Owens head ot the Landscape Architecture division at the University of Georgia, has pr posed that towns can make themselves Ixauti fill by simply planting trees. Mr Owens writes that Georgia’s cli¬ mate demands shade trees in the summer lie advises the towns not to plant ever¬ greens, as the sun is welcome by resident and tourist alike in the winter. He also warns against planting bushy trees be tween the curb ami the sidewalk, as they will constitute a traffic hazard in time. Trees can be good for the town’s econo¬ my. A well-planted village or ci'y auto matically attract? people, and gives the town a pleasant cared-for look that may even attract new industry. Mr. Owens’ idea is a tine one. Much beauty eim he had very* cheaply. We cm think of no fi ner project for the state’s many vigoi ous garden clubs than a tree planting program for tHeir communities. —Editorial Atlanta Journal This above all; to thine own self | be true; and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then ! be false to any man.—Shakespeare.

Established 1899 Per Year in Advance JUDGMENT, TOO. BEGINS AT HOME By LEO AIRMAN The Atlanta Constitution “Free enterprise, government and Christianity do not succeeed in Wash¬ ington, D. C., or the State Capitol. They must work first in places like Cobb County and MaHetta and Smyrna.” Jimmy Carmichael made that significant statement this week at a ladies’ night meeting of the Smyrna Men’s Club. Jimmy thus wrapped up in a sentence a fact that most folks either fail to face, or re¬ fuse to face, in appraising the situa¬ tion in which the n— .dETAOI tion in which this nation finds it¬ self. democracy Like charity — honesty, economy, and brotherhood begin at home. Or you can make your ap¬ praisal by the measure of a homily in verse which one of my teachers recited almost daily: If everyone in the school were just like me, What kind of a school would this school be ? If everyone in your city or your county or your state and nation were just like you (or me)— Do you note with grave alarm stories of law violations, yet noncha¬ lantly chisel on the parking meter or tear up the ticket you find under the windshield? Do you yell hoarsely for government economy, and then push for a pet project in your little nook? Do you talk Christian principles and 1 world brotherhood, yet nurse your! own grudges, dislikes, intolerances: and hates ? of Is your merchant ethical who standard took in like payment: that | a for an account what he and the cus- j tomer thought was a $100 bill. But] after the payee left, the storekeeper found that it was two ,$100 bills stuck together. That’s when he wrestled j wit hhis conscience—should he tell j his Would partner that have about been the extra problem? $ 100 ? j i The your answers to those and similar questions will give you a pretty good idea of what’s wrong with- the world. A famous industrialist asked his little son what he would like for Christmas. “A baby brother,” the little boy quickly replied. The father being well versed in engineering objected to the sugges¬ tion in a mild way by saying: “But it's only ten days to Christmas, and of course that does not give me enough time.” “I know,” the little boy said, but, ignorant of the labor shortage, went on to suggest, “Can’t you put more men on the job?”—In Transit. Heaven never helps the man who not act.—Sophocles Operators of automobile “grave¬ yards" in White County are now re¬ quired to get their old cars moving to market to help the nation solve its present problem of stee lshort ages, or they may be found in viola¬ tion of Federal regulations. here According to information received from Merrill C. Lofton, regional director of the U. S. Department of Commerce in Atlanta, the National Production Authority has just issued an order under which owners of auto¬ mobile “graveyards” must send that agenc cember yan 20 inventory report by De¬ motor vehicles, detailing the number of car units and amount of loose scrap they had on hand on December 1 of this year. The order also prohibts any wreck¬ er from accepting delivery of any automobile or car unit during the three-month period beginning March 1, PJ52, and the first day of June, September, December and March thereafter unless during the preced¬ ing three-month period he hud dis¬ posed of all automobiles manufac¬ tured prior to 1946. The order makes it mandatory for prompt and complete compliance with any directives issued by NPA to al¬ locate moto rvebicles, car units and loose scrap from yards for delivery or disposal to scrap dealers or con¬ sumers. NPA has defined a “car unit” as a motor vehicle stripped of salvageable parts, “loose scrap” as the non-sal vageable sections or parts removed from cars, such as miscellaneous fenders, doors, springs and-gears, and the term “motor veheiles” as includ¬ ing trucks up to one and a half tons in weight. The sum and substance of the NPA order, Mr. Lofton said, is to make it a Federal offense for any owner of any automobile “graveyard” to keep his old cars on the yard and not get them into commercial scrap channels. Compliance investigators working out of the Atlanta regional and district offices will conduct a periodic check to make certain there are no viola¬ tions o fthe order, and if any are found the offenders will be subject to penalties provided in the Defense Production Act of 1951, he said. The older -as issued, Mr. Lofton stated, because the present scrap iron and steel shortage, which has become a grave national emergency, is causing many mills to operate on “hand-to-mouth” basis. Millions of tons of scrap iron and steel, such as contained in cast-off automobiles our “graveyards” are lying dor¬ mant and must be moved to market the national program of defense be carried out, he said.
