HOOVER ASKS REBIRTH
OF MORAL FORCE
(Excerpts from an address by former
President Herbert Hoover)
As I look back over my long years prob¬
of concern with our national
lems, I have come to believe that
moral forces and certain forces em¬
bedded in the soul of America are
more important than all of our other
issues—for they lie at the base of the
solution of all of them.
This nation needs a rebirth of that
great spiritual force which has been
impaired by cynicism and weakened
by foreign infections.
The spiritual force of which I speak
is enshrined in the word America. We
do not use that word merely as a geo¬
graphical term. . . . This word Amer¬
ica-recalls that millions of people for
over 300 years have sought our shores
as a refuge from oppression. . . . For
centuries the word America among the
great masses of people over the world
has been an emblem of hope, of more
security in life—and more freedom.
Today, we alone among the nations
have a multitude of citizens who have
sunk to a posture of perpetual apol¬
ogy and seeming shame for ourselves.
Yours is the task to stop this moral
retreat; to lead the attack to recap¬
ture the meaning of the word—
America.

WHEN IS MUNICIPALITY LIABLE
For what acts is a municipality
liable ?
Municipal corporations are liable for
negligent acts committed by employes
in exercising administrative functions,
but are not liable for negligent exercising acts
committed by employes in
governmental functions. Where muni¬
cipalities are not required to perform for
an act, they will not be liable

If a municipality has not been
negligent in constructing streets liable for or
repairing them, it will not be
injuries caused by defects in the
streets, where the city has received
no notice or where the defect is such
that it would have not been discovered
with the ordinary exercise of due care.
A city will not be liable for the
negligent acts of its officers engaged
in the discharge of the various duties
required of them by law. Thus, illegal
arrests by police officers, assaults injuries by
drunken night watchmen,
caused by the negligence of work gang
foremen, or wanton killing of dogs
by duly appointed dog catchers will
create individual liability against
those doing such wrongful acts but
will not create a liability on the part
of the city, their employer. the municipality
Of course, should
ratify and approve the unlawful acts
of its officers committed in carrying
out the governmental functions of the
city, it would become liable for such
wrongful acts. * * *
WHERE a city maintains a park
no liability will attach to the muni¬
cipality for failure to keep the park

the source of revenue, it would become

some of its citizens. Such citizens

MORE TOURISTS FOR
WHITE COUNTY
The is fo _____
cry ' more tourists. I don’t
know why! If I were a White County
farmer, factory worker, retired, a
housewife not dependent upon the
volume of people in the county I’d
want to keep the county for myself
and those who are already here, and
not induce a heap more folks to move
in or induce maybe a hundred thou¬
sand more folks to visit the area and
clutter up the streets and roads with
their vehicles, increase taxes, raise
prices!
But for some reason which is be¬
yond me at the moment the popular
theme is MORE TOURISTS; so, how
to secure them ?
One section of the country offers
one attraction—another section offers
a different attraction to induce peo¬
ple to visit there. Some sections have
many attractions. White County plan¬
ners should start an IDEA FILE and
keep a permanent record of various
ideas proposed. The backlog of ideas
can be tapped from time to time and
eventually the better ideas, or those
which are within the means of the
More Tourists promoters, can be put
to work. Here’s one:
This is mountain country. Millions
of people, including myself, have al¬
ways lived in flat-land country. We
know nothing of life as it has been
lived in mountain country for so long.
When I visited the Mountain Fair at
Habersham this summer I saw a lot
of interesting things but the one
which made the biggest impression
was the replica of a mountain cabin.
I suggest that a vigorous effort be
made to collect (or make, if neces¬
sary) furniture and articles which
are, or were, found in typical moun¬
tain cabins, maybe 50 or more years
ago.
I’d make effort to buy some land
within two or three miles of Cleve¬
land—one to five acres—on time pay¬
ments if no land can be secured by
donation—and start a county park of
some sort. I’d have a typical mountain
cabin on it for one thing. A small
picnic ground wouid help also. A dis¬
play of various minerals found in
northeastern Georgia would be in¬
teresting- Interesting literature per¬
taining to this area might induce
some of the visitors to settle here.
Such literature could be picked up at
the county park. Once the ground was
secured for such park, it is likely
that dozens of ideas to attract and
interest visitors would be developed
—and the project would keep growing
and become famous to a certain ex¬
tent.
This is just one “More Tourists”
idea. Let’s start a file, ASK for ideas,
kick them around, revamp some, and
begin operations.
