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. Coming: The Chattooga County 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.

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.
