“HALLOWE’EN” IS
SUBJECT FOR THIS
WEEK’S LETTERS
SOME BOY OR GIRL WILL WIN
50c—LETTER FROM RACHEL
CAROLYN ESSEX.
By “THE SUNSHINE LADY.”
“Are you afraid of the ghosts and
goblins that ride abroad on Hallo
we’en?” I asked the. Wise Old Owl ;
last night.
He laughed, and replied, “No, in
deed! I expect to enjoy Hallowe’en;
■for all the witches and goblins, the
black cats and bats and ghosts and
jack-o-lanterns are friends of mine.!
They are perfectly harmless creatures
who wish only to help the boys and
girls have a good time on Hallowe’en, j
I will probably fly around with them
next Saturday evening to see wb *
all the children are doing.”
So, boys and girls, if you happe c
to meet a big brown owl on Hallow
e en, it may be our friend, the Wise
Old Owl, himself. We want you to
write us letters about “Hallowe’en”
this week. You may tell us how you
celebrate the holiday, or anything at
all that you know about the queer
people who are seen on Hallowe’en,
—the jack-o-lanterns, witches, black
cats, and all the others.
The Summerville News’ weekly
prize of 50 cents will go to the boy
or girl, 12 years old or under, from
whom we receive the best letter
about “Hallowe’en.” Every one who
writes to us four times will become a
member of the Wise Old Owl’s club,
and will be given a membership cer
tificate.
The Wise Old Owl wants the boys
and girls who write to us to suggest
names for this club; and he has prom
ised to give a picture of to
the one whose suggestion he likes
best. Help us name the club, and
let’s see who will be the first member.
Next week we will tell you who is
the winner of last week’s letter-writ
ing contest, on the subject, “My
Home.” And the winner of the “Hal
lowe’en” letter contest will be an
nounced in The Summerville News for
Nov. 12.
Prize-Winning Letter.
Another 8-year-old girl has written
us a prize-winning letter. The best
letter about “Birds” was from Rachel
Carolyn Essex, who did not tell us
her address; so we must ask her eith
er to call for her prize at The News
office or to write and tell us where
to send it. Here is Rachel’s letter:
Dear Mrs. Sunshine Lady,
I am going to tell you about the
birds that come to our house. The
mocking birds, meadow larks and
blue jays come the most.
I think we should protect the birds
because they help us keep the bugs
out of our gardens. The blue jays used
to always come down and peck at the '
cats and dogs.
Sometimes I put feed and water out
for them. One day my brother found
a baby hawk who had in some way
fallen out of the nest. He could not
fly. He took him to our house and
gave him some food and water and
then one day he got away.
Another time we found a bird with
a hurt wing. We doctored him and
in a few weeks he could fly.
I don’t know anything else to write
except that I love birds and I am 8
years old.
Your friend,
RACHEL CAROLYN ESSEX.
Write to us often, Rachel, and tell
all your friends to write to us too.
And now, boys and girls, are you '
ready to hear the last part of the
Wise Old Owl’s story about Teddy? '
Before we start telling it, I want to '
let you know that the Wise Old Owl
has promised to start a new fairy
story for us next week. The name of
it will be “Princess Saphir’s Gown of
Moonbeams.” And here is the rest of
“Teddy's Picture Book.”
When the sailor boy, the dancing
girl and the bluebird had left Teddy’s
party to stay with the children to
to whom they gave the toys, all the
other picture-ibook neople decided th Q v
wanted to stay with someone too. So
Happy, the elf, gave his permission, t
saying that as long as they made
some boy or girl happy, he was will
ing for them to leave him.
The Eskimo took a little toy polar
bear in to a sick girl, and he decided ,
to stay with her. The colored mammy
took Teddy’s toy dishes and stopped
to play house with another little girl.
The puppies saw some bovs nlaying
ball, and so they dragged Teddy’s
baseball bat and glove to the boys, '
and then joined the game themselves,
barking as they chased the balls.
The cowboy saw a lonesome little
boy sitting on the steps, so he took
Teddy’s horse and galloped un to
amuse him. The big lady doll with the
long curls chose a pretty little girl to
be her mother, and - she took with her '
some of Teddy’s story books.
The policeman stayed to play with
a little boy who was carving wooden
guns, and he took with him a pair of
Teddy’s real guns to make their game
more lifelike. The clown saw a little
girl who was crying because she had
only one skate and it was broken. So
he quickly fastened Teddy’s skates on
his own feet and hurried to do tricks
for the little girl. When he had made
her laugh he took off the skates, gave
them to her, and stayed to teach her
to skate.
Now Teddy and his friend, Happy,
were left alone in the empty wagon
with only the lion to pull it. And as
they came near Teddy’s home the
lion stopped suddenly and roared.
For there was a little boy who could
not walk, and the lion asked Teddy
and Happy to let him have the wagon
and stay to take the little cripple boy
for a rille. ....

OLD-AGE PENSIONS
BY NEXT JANUARY,
RIVERS PLEDGES
GOVERNOR-ELECT SAYS WAY
OPEN FOR LEGISLATURE TO
CARE FOR AGED PERSONS.
ATLANTA. —Old-age pensions in
January were promised in a state
ment by E. D. Rivers, Georgia’s gov
ernor-nominee.
Rivers indicated, though he did not
say so, that either a special session
will be held when he and the legisla
ture take office Jan. 10 or the as
sembly will hold its regular session
then instead of next summer. The
last two regular sessions have been
held in the winter.
“I believe,” said Rivers, “we have
I found away for the general assem
bly to gi e the people of Georgia old-
I age pensions when it meets in Jan-
whether or not the people get
vote on it effectively and conclu
ly on Nov. 3.”
ers was out of town, and there
why’nsiderable speculation over
what meant by that assertion.
Sorm litical supporters of the
governor -t were inclined to think
he might nd for the legislature
to pass ai. allowing Georgia to
accept the
preferred by the government without
strings.
Later, it was pointed out, the con
stitutional amendment which Gov.
Talmadge vetoed at the last session
and refused to place on the ballot
this fall, could be revived and sub
mitted at the next general election,
in the fall of 1938.
There was the possibility, how
ever, that legal advisers of Rivers
had discovered away to enable the
state to appropriate money for pen
sions without a constitutional amend
ment.
Legislators Desire
Law To Convene
When Necessary
(By Georgia News Service.)
A canvass of a considerable num
ber of members of-the senate and the
house indicates that there is a very
strong desire on the part of the mem
bers of both branches of the legisla
ture to take steps as soon as the leg
islature convenes to enact a law pro
viding for the convening of the legis
lature upon written call of a substan
tial majority of the house and the
senate. Whenever an emergency ex
ists, or it is desirable to have a trial
for the impeachment of any public
official, the governor can call the
legislature; or should he refuse or fail
to call the legislature, this body
should have the authority to convene
upon the written call of a substantial
majority of both bodies of the legis
lature.
If such an act is passed it will
eliminate the possibility of a similar
situation developing as did during
the early part of this year, in which
a number of public officials were re
moved from office and the state’s
funds tied up by various banks in the
state.

RELIEFERS.
The number of families or single
persons on relief in September was
4.547,000. This is about 600,000 more
than in July, 1933. During the same
period, unemployment decreased from
fifteen to nine million, according to
the American Federation of Labor.
While the relief rolls continue to
grow,! there is every reason to be
lieve, that continued business recov
ery will permit some of these persons
to gradually find employment.

SECOND; CRUSHES
i LA FAYETTE, 28-0
f RAMBLERS HELD SCORELESS AS
SUMMERVILLE INDIANS
“STEP HIGH.”
’ By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
The Summerville Indians went out
on the gridiron last Friday and pro
k ceeded to win their second straight
i game. Wi'lh Thomas place-kicking
every extra point, and the entire
backfield performing well, the In
, diuns gave La Fayette the “works.”
, The line did a nice job in opening
, large holes. Long runs still prevail
as three of the touchdowns were long
, runs. Baker, Abney and Jones played
nicely for La Fayette.
Summerville goes to Dalton tomor
row night to play their opening game
under the lights. It should be a great
' game, as D.ton has a strong team
and Summerville has gotten into its
, stride. Summerville has seen three
. s-ames under the lights this year—
Darlington twice and Chattanooga
, once. But playing is an entirely dif
' ferent matter.
! Captain Myers won the toss and
' elected to receive. La Fayette kicked
. to Beatty on the 3 who returned nice
! ly to the 32. La Fayette was offsides
once and SHS three times on succes
sive downs. With the ball on the 22,
Thomas’ pass was incomplete. He
then lost 5 and punted to Abney on
the 48, who signaled for a fair catch.
La Fayette could not gain and punt
ed to Beatty on the 12, who fumbled
with La Fayette recovering. Abney
made 6 yards, Thomas tackled. SHS

ceeded to tackle Jones for a 5-yard
loss as the ball went over. Thomas
made 4. Beatty ran for 10 yards and
a first down. After three downs

Summerville was then held and
Thomas punted over the line and it
brought out to the 20. LHS could not
gain and punted to the SHS 30, where
it was again grounded. La Fayette
was offsides. Beatty again circled end
gaining 13 yards this time and an
other first down. Thomas plunged
for 6. Thomas made 2. Thomas’ try
was short by inches and he punted
out of bounds on the 28. La Fayette
was held and they punted to Beatty
on the SHS 38. Taking the ball he
eluded the ends and side-stepping
nicely he ran 62 yards for a touch
down. Thomas and Myers did some
reautiful blocking. Thomas’ kick was
good. Score: Summerville, 7; La Fay
ette, 0.
Thomas kicked to Pierce on the 10,
he ran it back to the 33, where Dodd
ackled. Eleam tackled Abney after I

in as many downs and kicked to
Beatty on the 19, who returned to the
32. Starting a touchdown march,
Tripp made 7. Tripp plunged for 3
and a first down. With Thomas run
ning superbly and carrying the ball
ten successive times, for a total of 55
yards, SHS went to the 3-yard line.
Using only one play the line was
opening large holes and with good in
terferece (usually), Thomas made
gains of 7, 18, 7,8, 2,5, 3, 2. Then
Quarter Back Beatty pulled a nice
piece of headwork and ran Myers
around left end for a touchdown, i
Thomas converted. Score: Summer

150 COUNTIES FACE
SCHOOL FUND CUT
I UNDER TAX LIMIT
; ALLOTMENTS TO BE VASTLY
REDUCED, COMMITTEE IN
OPPOSITION SAYS.
All but nine of Georgia’s 159 coun
ties would find their allotments of
funds funds for school purposes vast
ly reduced if the 15-mill tax limita
tion amendment to the state consti
tution is adopted in the November
election, according to the joint com
mittee opposing the proposal.
Cities, counties and school districts |
' would be placed in precarious finan
cial position and would be unable to
function without raising assessments ;
to unheard-of heights, the committee \
asserted.
“The amendment limits the power
of taxing tangible property to the !
counties, cities and school districts, !
and the amount permitted is five
mills to each subdivision,” the state- i
ment declared. “Tangible property is
defined as all other classes of prop- !
arty not embraced in the definition
of intangible property, which in
cludes real estate.
“With this limitation in effect, the I
counties, cities and school districts |
would be placed in a most precarious
position in attempting the discharge
of their functions, as they by far
raise the largest sums for taxes.
“The counties are empowered to
levy taxes for education, roads and
bridges, public buildings, the preser
vation of the peace and the public I
health, quarantine, trial of litigation, |
support of prisoners and paupers,
police protection, vital statistics, etc.
Despite the large sum which is raised
for free schools, the counties are de
pendent upon state aid for school
support, as only nine counties in the
state pay into the state treasury as
much as they draw therefrom.
“So, how can a county function
with such a ridiculously low limita
tion, while their services are now
costing on an average 14 mills taxes
on all classes of property without
counting the school taxes? The an
swer is, that they could not.
“The cities are empowered by their
charters to levy such assessments as
are necessary for the purposes of
government, including schools where
there is an inadequate city school
system. City services are most varied
and necessarily costly, and the levies
are often as much or more than the
county rates. Therefore, the question
may well be asked: How can the ci
ties and towns render the essential
services to their citizens with a tax ,
power limited to 5 mills on intangi
ble property only? The answer is:
It cannot be done.”

Secretary Roper Sees
Business Upswing
(By Georgia News Service.)
In an address before the National
Business show held in New York last \
week, Secretary Daniel C. Roper said
that “we are entering upon one of
the most extensive business upswings
in the history of our country,” and 1
that “our ability to sustain it will de
pend upon our willingness and ability
to maintain the adjustments planned
by the president for industry, agri
culture and the labor units of Amer
ican society.”
Selecting the automotive industry
as one that has been benefited by the
policies of the Roosevelt administra
tion, Roper said, “You can not trace
the tripling of our car sales since the
advent of the democratic administra
-1 tion entirely to any sort of ‘rugged in,"
dividualism’ on the part of the lead
ers in the industry.”
“The social progress of our nation
has become too complex for business
to attempt to travel one road and
government another,” he said, adding
that such an attempt would be anal
ogous to trying to sell goods by meth
ods of the “quill pen period.”
o
Payment of Poll Tax
As Vote Rule Upheld
The state supreme court ruled yes
terday that no citizen is entitled to
register and vote without first hav- ,
ing paid poll taxes.
The high court upheld a decision ■
of Judge Hugh M. Dorsey, of Fulton !
superior court, .who had refused to
sustain an action filed by Nolen R.
Breedlove against Tax Collector T. E.
Suttles, seeking to compel him to
permit Breedlove to register without
paying the required tax. Judge Dor
sey had held the provision requiring
the taxes constitutional and his de
cision was sustained unanimously by
the supreme court.
Richardson had attacked the pro
vision, asserting it violated the fif
teenth amendment to the constitution.

Collins Attacks
Tax Curb Plan As
Peril To Schools
LACK OU ANY PROVISIONS FOR
OTHER REVENUE SCORED
BY SUPERINTENDENT.
State School Superintendent M. D.
Collins in a written statement ex
pressed opposition to adoption of a
proposed 15-mill tax limitation con
stitutional provision without having a
definite substitute plan for raising
necessary revenue.
He declared the limitation propos
al “carries too much danger to our
youth” and “is too much like ‘buying
a pig in the bag’.”
“Through the support of public ed
ucation in Georgia is not adequate,”
he wrote, “I strenuously oppose any
plan whereby these funds are to be
forfeited in return for a vague and
indefinite set-up.
“I can not believe that the citizens
of Georgia will gamble with the edu
cation and future welfare of our
girls and boys. . . .
“It is my opinion that it is only
fair to our children, before we give
up our present support for education,
to tell the people frankly what form
of taxation, if any, is to supplant the
revenue now derived from ad valorem
taxes. ... If the eople prefer a sales
tax or an occupational tax, or some
other form of tax, to the ad valorem
tax, I think that public officials
should work in thorough harmony
with the wishes of the people.
“I am not trying to tell the people
that there is no better plan than ad
valorem taxes for raising funds so
public schools. I do say that I con
sider it dangerous to give us what we
have now before we are assured of
something better or something just
as good.
“I consider it my duty, as state
superintendent of schools, to say to
the people of Georgia that, in my
opinion, the proposed 15-mill consti
tutional amendment carries with it
difficulties for the schools and edu
cational dangers for the children of
our great state.”
