1 Pity the Men
Of the'Long Arm'
We have great sympathy for law
enforcement officers, especially
when it comes to family squabbles.
Often they get calls, “Come
quick, before pa shoots ma,” or
“before ma takes the butcher knife
to pa!” By the time the officer ar¬
rives, they often have made up,
and try to chase off the officer.
Best one we ever heard about
was when a fellow went to an of¬
ficer with an item of his wife’s
undergarments and instructed the
officer: “Go find her. II
The officer happened not to have
a blood hound near, and could not
pick up the trail. Husbands and
wives always know more about
where the other can be Jhfcated
than the officer, anyway.

We'll Have Drunks
If County Is Wet or Dry
Mr. Jim Davidson
Editor ;
Cleveland Courier
Cleveland, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Davidson:
I was disappointed with the
recent report that the county com¬
missioners will not renew beer and
wine licenses next year. I’m sure
that nobody, who has lived through
the days of prohibition or who is
familiar with ‘dry’ counties or wtho
knows human nature, believes that
this action will stop the sale of
beer and wine. It will not It will
not keep anyone sober who wants
to get drunk. What it will do is
deprive White County of $19,000
in tax revenue, and discourage
tourists from coming to Whit*
County.
I maintain that even if the county
can possibly get by without this
tax money as the commissioners
predict, yet we need this free tax
to grow and become the leading
county in North Georgia. Think
what $19,000 would do for a recre¬
ation program for our youth: we
could have a swimming pool, we
could have ball fields and tennis
courts, we could have playgrounds
for all ages, and‘we could even
have a supervised recreation cen¬
ter for year-around recreation if
we wanted it.
White County could be a much
more wholesome place to live if the
county commissioners would not
deprive the county of this tax
money, but would use it for con¬
structive purposes.
What do you think?
— AN INTERESTED CITIZEN.
Hot August
Cooking Up
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A hot,
dry August appears to be in store
for much of the nation, according
to the Weather Bureau’s 30-day out¬
look.
The forecast predicts tempera¬
tures above seasonal norms from
the Rocky Mountains to the Appa¬
lachians, especially in the Central
Plains and Great Lakes areas. Rain¬
fall is expected to be below normal
from the Central Plains to the
Northeast.
Above normal rainfall is expec¬
ted for the Gulf and South Atlantic
coasts.
Demos for Barry
Slate Meeting
To Organize
An organizational meeting of
“Democrats for Goldwater” will be
held in Atlanta Tuesday at the
Henry Grady Hotel, according to
Augusta Attorney Roy Harris. Also
leading the drive are former Gov.
Marvin Griffin and Atlanta restau¬
rant owner Lester Madidox.
“We’re going to set up a state
organization and we’re going to
organize every county and precinct
in Georgia,” Mr. Harris said.

Connector Gets
Top Priority
GAINESVILLE, Aug. 6 — A top
priority designation has been given
the four-lane expressway project
which will connect Gainesville with
Interstate 85.
John Wilkerson, state road de¬
sign engineer, in a statement at a
formal hearing here, said the con¬
nector would get top priority until
the project is finished.
Approximately 75 persons at¬
tended the hearing. Tlhe 24.5 mile
connecting link is a joint federal
state project, with each providing
50 per cent of the cost.
As proposed, the highway will
run from the northeast city limits
of Gainesville to an interchange
on 1-85 about one mile east of
Suwanee. Right-of-way acquisition
for the leg of the connector in
Gwinnett County is already under¬
way and Wilkerson told the hearing
he hopes to let the contract for
that part of the project in the fall.
Editorial Profession 1
Appealed To Him
And you can add this view of
the editor from the pen of a
schoolboy as it appeared in the Vir¬
ginia Free Press, 1871:
HAPPIEST
“The editor is one of the hap¬
piest animals in the known world.
He can go to the circus afternoon
and evening, without paying a cent;
also to inquests and hangings.
He has free tickets to picnics
and strawberry festivals; gets wed¬
ding cakes sent to him, and some¬
times takes a licking, but not of¬
ten, for he can take things back
in the next issue which he general¬
ly does. I never knew only one
editor to get licked. His paper
busted that day and he couldn’t
take nothing back.
“The editor don’t have to saw
any wood or do any chopping ex¬
cept with his scissors. Railroads get
excrusious for him, knowing if
they didn’t he’d make ’em git up
and git. In politics he don’t care
much who he goes for if they are
on his side. If they ain’t, he goes
for ’em anyway, so it amounts to |
nearly the same thing.
14 There is a great many people
trying to be editors who can’t, and
some of them have been in the
profession for years. They can’t
see it, though.
“If I was asked if I had rather
have an education or be a circus
rider, I would say, let me go and
be an editor. »»
— Leo Aikman, Atlanta Consti¬
tution.
New Surgery i i
For Cataracts
Cataracts were removed from the
eyes of six persons within 90 min¬
in Pittsburgh last week by a
method of surgery. The method
developed by Dr. Charles Kelman I
New York City, employs a small |
probe cooled electrically to 40 de¬
below zero. Because little j
is exerted on the eye, the .> v
of complications is re- j
duced. A___
