LANDS IN CHATTOOGA ADDED
TO NATIONAL FOREST.
“'Congressman Tarver received news
today from Washington of the ap
proval by the National Forest Res
ervation Commission, of which Sena
tor George is a member, of the inclu
sion of the Armuche-e and Lookout
Mountain Purchase Units for addi
tion to the Chattahoochee National
Forest.
“The Armuchee Unit comprises ap
proximately 240,000 acres of land
along Taylor’s Ridge between Sum
merville and Ringgold and on John’s
Mountain near Rocky Face to a point
west of Curryville. The Lookout
Mountalin Unit comprises lands both
in Georgia and Alabama on Lookout
Mountain, approximately 140,000 ac
res of which lie in Georgia.
“Congressman Tarver in the early
part of 1935 endeavored to interest
the Forest Service in the acquisition
of these lands and finally succeeded
in having these two purchase units
set up, but until now the National
Forest Reservation Commission had
not approved them for purchase and
addition to the Chattahoochee Forest
Area.
“Senator George, a member of the
Commission, has been very active in
securing approval of these units and
it is expected that their acquisition
will add two very interesting and de
sirable areas to government forest
lands in Georgia.”
The above notice was received last
week. This is a big project and will
mean more to our section than can
possibly be estimated. We feel confi
dent that our people will co-operate
in every way possible, and facilitate
the acquiring of these mountain lands
by our Government. We appreciate
the splendid work of our congress
man and senator in securing this de
velopment for our section.
COURTESY PAYS
It is an interesting story coming
from Virginia that Washington and
Lee University will receive a bequest
of $1,5C«0,000 because at one time in
the past an unknown student on the
campus was very courteous and
friendly to a visitor who at the time
was unknown.
The visitor turned out to be a mil
lionaire who was considering giving
to some college the desirable sum of
$1,500,000. To help decide which one
would be tbe fortunate recipient the
millionaire decided to pay an unan
nounced visit to each of several in
stitutions. He was impressed by the
couitesy of the undergraduate he met
on the W & L campus, and when he
died left the money to that institu
tion.
Courtesy doesn’t cost much, but it
can pay big dividends. Even if the
reward is not material, as in the
above case, being thoughtful and con
siderate is worthwhile in other ways.
It enriches the life of the man or
woman who practices such courtesies
in everyday life.
A SIGN OF ENVY
Business men who are competitors
need not be jealous and envious of
each other. Those who show this lit
tleness are to be pitied more than
condemned, for they have a narrow
viewpoint of life and are usually
moved by the bitter knowledge that
the other man is succeeding where
they are failing.
Co - operation is much better.
Friendliness makes more friends and
wins more business than being surly.
The general public soon knows why
you criticise your competitor in busi
ness, and discounts what you say.
Caustic remark about the man in
your own linne of business only re
veals the disappointment in your own
soul and advertises that he is beat
ing you in the business you both fol
low.
o
People who fly high often hit the
ground suddenly.

Fair, Thanksgiving day, Red Cross
Roll Call, Shop Early, First day of
Winter, Christmas and New Year.
Women who think they should con
ceal their age are rarely able to do
so.
One of these days a beggar, asking
a man for a dime, will be surprised
to get a dollar. (
When the time comes for eating,
the average man or woman will stop
almost anything.
Human beings have been able to
agree upon very few of the problems
that they debate.
Amusement is not the chief end of
existence, regardless of what might
appear from time to time.
When the average man gets into
an automobile, he forgets that there
is such a thing as courtesy in the
world.
Well, for one thing, the farmers
are getting plenty of promises dur
ing the campaign. For another, these
do not imply that a farmer can make
a living without working. Again, this
applies, regardless of who wins the
election.

OBITUARIES
I
MRS. E. N. MARTIN.
Relatives and friends of Mrs. E. N.
Martin were saddened Monday morn
ing to learn of her passing.
“Aunt Mamie,” as she was affec-
I tionately known to all, was Miss
Mary Calhoun, of Walker county,
I and was married to E. N. Martin, of
this place, in 1882, where she has
lived since. Mrs. Martin possessed
beauty and a sweet disposition, and
made many friends in her new home,
which she has kept.
She gave her heart to Jesus in
girlhood, joining the old Stone Pres
byterian church. She put her letter
in this church soon after coming here
and was loyal and active in the work
of the church. During her husband’s
lifetime, their home was open to rel
! atives and friends, and there are hap
py memories of their gracious hospi
tality.
Her funeral was conducted from
the Presbyterian church Tuesday aft
ernoon at 3 o’clock. Her pastor, Rev.
S. L. Hunter, in charge, who paid
tribute to her life of faith.
She is survived by a number of
i neices and nephews and other rela
tives.
The auxiliary of the church attend
ed the funeral in a body. The large
concourse of friends, and beautiful
floral offerings were an expression
of the love in which she was held.
Interment was in the cemetery be
side her husband, who preceded her
to the grave eight years ago. Mrs
Martin was 85 years old, and will be
missed by her friends.
The Paul Weems Funeral home
was in charge of arrangements.

MRS. MARVIN PULLEN.
| Friends and relatives were sadden-
I ed Sunday night to hear of the death
|of Mrs. Marvin Pullen, who was al
i most instantly killed in an automo
bile accident. She was loved by all
: who knew her, for her Christian
' character and sweet disposition.
She was a devoted wife and moth-
I er and a true friend.
She was not quite 24 years of age
and a bride of less than six months,
I which makes her passing so sad.
She will be greatly missed in her
; community. The beautiful floral of
ferings expressed the high esteem in
i which this young wife and mother
was held.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o’clock at the First
Baptist church, with the Revs. J. C.
Jackson, S. L. Hunter and Alfred Pul

NOVEMBER BALLOT.
(Walker County Messenger.)
Four constitutional amendments
will be on the ballot in the November
election, for the people to ratify or
reject.
They are: Fifteen-mill tax limita
tion, four-year term for governor;
four-year term for certain statehouse
officers, and establishment of the of
fice of lieutenant-governor.
The governor, under the law, must
certify all amendments to be placed
upon the ballot in the general elec
tion. To date, it is stated, the gov
ernor refuses to place the old-age
pension amendment on the ballot.
Voters should think deeply before
casting their ballots for the 15-mill
tax limitation. There is no substitute
offered to raise revenue sufficient for
state operations, should the measure
be ratified, and the legislature would
have to provide revenue, which would
take some weeks and then maybe a
satisfactory tax bill would fail to
pass. Fifteen mills for state, school,
county and all purposes is entirely
inadequate, and voters should think
of all phases of the question to know
whether or not such an amendment
would be to the advantage of their
schools, their county and state.
The amendment is so phrased as to
leave leading attorneys and students
of economy in doubt as to its mean
ing. It is not a clear bill, nor so easi
ly understood.
Unless there was a clear-cut sub
stitution for the loss of revenue from
such an act, we do not believe it wise
to ratify such an amendment. Reduc
ing taxes to the extent that it will
close schools, cripple orderly and nec
essary functions of the government,
impair institutions for the welfare of
our people, is not a wise step, and
that is what we see in the 15-mill
tax limitation amendment.
We do not see the wisdom of a
four-year term for governor. The
theory of four-year terms appears
good, but they foster machine build
ing hard to break if the machine, as
it usually does, works for personal
political advantage, and not for the
public welfare. The same holds for
statehouse officers.
Furthermore, we do not see the ne
cessity of a lieutenant-governor. The
president of the state senate can take
care of all the duties of a lieutenant-
NEWS FOR THE
HOME-MAKER
(By Lucy Martin, County Home
Demonstration Agent.)
The School-Day Lunch.
Returning school days bring back
the problem of the school-day lunch.
School cafeterias lessen the lunch
problem for some mothers but most
children must carry lunch to school
or come home to eat it. What, then,
shall they have for lunch?
Growing children, food specialists
say, have special needs in the way of
food. Even when they eat all their
meals at home, it is no easy matter
to see that they are properly fed, and
when they eat part of their meals at
school, the difficulty is far greater.
This is not because healthfulness and
cleanliness are more important in
this meal than in any other, but be
cause they are harder to secure. It is
not easy to keep food clean and at
tractive when it must be packed and
carried to school.
Unfortunately, too, most of the
foods that children need for the de
velopment of strong healthy bodies
cost more than some of the foods
that are more filling. Many families
can not afford unlimited quantities
of milk, eggs, butter, fruits and veg
etables. Cereals and sugar are cheap
er, they furnish more body fuel, and
are more filling. So these carbohy
drate foods are relied on to a great
extent —often to a much greater ex
tent than is healthful. In fact, in the
light of present knowledge of the re
quirements of the human body in
childhood, one of the worst diets that
could be devised would be made up .
chiefly of bread and sweets.
It is feasible, however, to k.?ep
down the cost of the diet by getting
a large part of the necessary fuel
from those cheapest sources, provid
ed proper quantities of other neces
sary foods are supplied first; that
is, if each child has each day a pint
and a half or a quart of milk, at
least a serving of tomato, or an
orange, a green-colored vegetable and
an ounce of butter.
At many schools where no lunches
are served, the children can get milk.
In such cases, the rest of the lunch
is less of a problem. If the child can
not get milk at school, and cannot
carry it to school, then more care is
necessary to balance his daily diet.
A cheese sandwich —cottage cheese,
cream or American cheddar—with
plenty of butter, will help to meet the
child’s requirements for ca’cium and
vitamin A otherwise supplied by milk.
A fresh tomato, an orange, or other
fruit—always desirable —are the more
important if the child must do with
out milk at lunch.

Pear Relish.
1 It is still pearing time in Georgia
land if you haven’t tried making pear
relish by the following recipe you
have truly missed a treat. So before
the pears and peppers are gone make
up this pear relish. Once you have it
on your pantry shelf you will never
be without it. It is delicious served
with meats, vegetables, mixed with
I salad dressing and served on salads.
1 peck pears
6 large onions
1 bunch celery
6 red peppers
6 green peppers
Put through food chopper and add
—3 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, 5
cups vinegar and 1 tablespoon all
spice. Mix and let stand over night.
Put in jars and process 20 minutes
in hot water bath at simmering.
Friends of Mr. Will Fowler regret
to learn of his critical condition at
the local hospital, as a result of a
j(fall sustained late Monday afternoon
in a plavful scuffle with a friend at
the Gulf Service Station. Very little
hope is entertained for his recovery,
governor at a much lower cost than
such an office. It appears that it
would just add another office for the
taxpayers to support.
There is a feeling that our tax
laws should be revised to operate
better for the people, but to ratify a
15-mill tax limitation, without any
definite legislaion to supplement the
loss of actually needed revenue to op
erate our schools, our state institu
tions and the state government it
self, seems the height of folly. And
yet unless the people think seriously
on this amendment, it is likely to pass
since tax reduction is a most desir
able thing, but in this particular case
if the people ratify the amendment,
■jt may result in more burdensome
taxes than we now have to support
our state and county and local gov
ernments.
