Cravey Announces
For State Treasurer
(By Newspaper Features, Inc.)
ATLANTA, April 11.—State-wide
interest is reported here in the an
nouncement of Zach D. Cravey that
he will be a candidate for the state
treasurer in the fall primary against
George B. Hamilton.
Mr. Cravey was commissioner of
game and fish for four years under
Gov. Talmadge’s regime. Regardless
of predictions for or against Tal
madge, the consensus of opinion seems
to toe that Mr. Cravey performed a
splendid piece of work in that office.
There were plenty of Rivers support
ers who thought so, and wanted Gov.
Rivers to continue him on the basis
of merit and results accomplished.
But because Mr. Cravey had been al
lied with Talmadge the axe fell upon
him.
It was under Mr. Cravey that an
entirely new approach was made to
the problem of conserving wild life
in Georgia. He inaugurated a cam
paign to convince Georgia landown
ers that the game birds in their fields
and woods can be made a valuable
cash crop, if properly conserved. He
took the gospel up and down the state
and converted thousands of landown
ers to believe in it, with the result
that Georgia in the hunting season
recently closed is reported to have
had more quail and other game birds
than probably in a quarter of a cen
tury. The Cravey approach to wild
life conservation is now the accept
ed approach in many other states.
Mr. Cravey is able and popular and
probably has more loyal personal
friends in each and every cotunty in
the state, than any man in public
life in Georgia.
“If elected state treasurer,” said
Mr. Cravey in his announcement, “it
is my hope to restore the office to
the dignity it enjoyed under such
grand old patriarchs as Col. Speer
and M. L. Ledford. The duties of
treasurer are confined to certain lines
and it will be my policy if elected to
attend only to the treasurer’s busi
ness and not attempt to run all the
other departments of the state. The
treasurer is charged with receiving
the state’s revenues and pay them out
on warrants properly executed. The
treasurer is not a tribunal to decide
whether the affairs of the state are
being properly conducted.”
THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
You remember what I said in last
week’s Summerville News about pol
itics mixing with our old-age pen
sions. Well, things have started to
popping. The lid was blown off in
one of our Georgia counties last
week. If the high officials would
throw the records open for public in
spection, these crooked deals could
not develop so well. This causes the
public to ask the question, “If these
higher-ups have nothing to cover up,
why don’t they throw the records
open ?”
I predict that these records will
be thrown open in the near future. I
also predict some of these county
Welfare agents will be more consid
erate toward these old people that
are in desperate need than they have
been in the past. Think of old people,
badly in need, have no home, can’t
buy medicine, who made application
for old-age pension last July, and
was told that they would hear from
it in a few days, and to this day have
heard not a word. They are old, they
are in need, they are restless, they
go to the parties or party that are
paid by public funds to serve them,
and there they are blocked; they are
shoved away; nobody has time to
hear them; nobody has time to give
them a word of comfort.
Public sentiment sleeps long and
well, is hard to arouse, but when
aroused it acts. Unless those respon
sible for the operation of our old
age pension in Georgia correctly read
the signs anl change their course,
things "are going to happen down in
Georgia. Now I am being urged to
offer for the legislature, either as
representative or senator. I have not
yet answeed; what I may do depends
on future developments. What I may
do is not important, but surely if
the people who are elected to the
legislature from all over the state,
this year, if they have one drop of
the blood of our forefathers in their
veins, will stand for a sweeping in
vestigation of the operation of the
old-age pension laws among their
first acts. B. E. NEAL.

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING JOIN TO DEFEAT i
RURAL LIFE ENEMIES—ROAD MUD AND DUST
dust. Another road that will yield quite " ' ~
cheaply to science’s formula for making ■ T§ifßW
good rural highways.
Once not more than a mud road like the one pictured above it, this Virginia thoroughfare resulted
from the proper mixtures of local soil materials and calcium chloride to give a “stabilized” turn
( pike of the type recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads for low-cost, all-season purpose. 1
Science and engineering effectively
have combined forces to fight those
twin evils of rural life—road dust and
mud. Making use of just such soil
materials as may be found in almost
any county, plus a moisture attract
ing chemical, the United States Bu
reau of Public Roads has developed
formulas for building low cost, all
season roads that from now on likely
will get a bigger share of federal
construction funds if the clamor for
better secondary highways is any
indication of future trend.
The Bureau has found that tiny
drops of moisture form the key for
locking soil particles together. In road
making, definite proportions of
granular materials and very little
clay, plus some moisture tend to
bring about what is called a “stabi
lized” condition which results in a
road tread that is quite hard and, with
proper maintenance, is as dustless in
August as it is mudless in April.
Traffic of the kind usually found on
“ferm-to-market” roads actually oper
ates to make a better road instead of
breaking it up. This is because the
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1938,
“stabilized” road materials are com
pacted even more by the rolling
weights above.
How to provide and maintain the
necessary moisture during dry months
was the problem. Then chemistry
stepped in with a substance—calcium
chloride —that, when spread on the
road, absorbs moisture directly from
the atmosphere and keeps the road
surface damp.
Experimenting independently in
an attempt to find a type of road
that would cost little, yet provide a
good surface for the greatest number
of people all year round, the high
way departments of several states
followed the lead of Michigan and
also developed dustless, mudless
roads of the stabilized kind. Now
thousands of miles of chemically
stabilized roads serve rural and resort
areas of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
New York and other states. In these
areas travel was not enough to justify
spending $7,000 to $20,000 a mile
for heavy traffic pavements, but quite
enough to warrant spending from
$650 to $2,500 a mile for full stabili
zation.
Where funds are extremely lim
ited, spreading calcium chloride to
eliminate the dust is the best thing
to do. This costs from $l5O to S3OO
a mile. A little more money may
make possible a “partial stabiliza
tion,” accomplished by adding to the
road an inch or so of properly pro
portioned topsoil or pebble-soil, clay
and chemical. Sand-clay mixtures and
crushed shell also make highly suit
able ingredients in this method of
road improvement The “consoli
dated” surface resulting from this
improvement measure not only takes
care of the dust nuisance but elimi
nates spring mud, too. The following
year this step can be repeated to give
a thicker wearing surface. Highway
engineers call this “stage” construc
tion of a stabilized road. It is a pay
as-you-go way of building a fully
stabilized road over a period of years,
but providing a nuisance-free high
way in the meantime. Os course, fiill
stabilization is desirable if funds are

In the past few weeks many more
improvements have been made on the
Gore Future Farmer chapter grounds.
From fifty to seventy-five shrubs
have been planted. Among these
shrubs were abelia, Barberry, nan
dina, crepe myrtle, winter honey
suckle, spriea Van Houttei and many
others. Most of these shrubs were
taken from the site of the old school
house.
A small fish pool has ben com
pleted in front of the dutch oven.
The pool is made of concrete and
recks. At some future-date the chap
ter expects to put a fountain in the
center of the pool. Small fish will be
procured to go in the pool.
More work has been done around !
the dutch oven. Large stone steps
have been made leading up to the
oven. Around the oven crushed stone
have been spread over the ground to
insure a substantial and dry place to
.vork around the oven in wet weather. !
In front of the large cabin on the
side of the hill rock terraces have
been constructed behind which rish
soil has been hauled and shrubs ,
planted.
A new walk has been constructed
n front of the large cabin also. This
walk is covered with crushed stone
he same as some of the other walks
and the dutch oven.
Along this same walk a “love seat”
has been constructed. It is built with
a rock foundation and concrete seat.
It is built back into the hill with a
rock back showing up and combining
with the surrounding landscape.
A new bridge has been construct
ed from small oak poles. A guard
rail was put along side of the bridge
and by one of the terraces to protect
the shrubbery.
The county agent states that all
cotton papers have been mailed to
state office for acreage allotments
to be made —just as soon as these
allotments are received from state
office, each farmer will be notifed
by mail the allotment for that farm.

The Georgia State Employment
service (affiliated with the United
States employment service), a divi
sion of the bureau of unemployment
comptAsation, offers opportunities
for a career under aH merit system
in public employment work. .
Open competitive examinations are
being announced to establish expand
ed eligible lists for the positions of
manager, assistant manager, senior
interviewer and junior interviewer
in the operating offices throughout
the state.
The state employment service is
I the placement division of the bureau
! of unemployment compensation. Pay
! ment of benefits to unemployed work
j ers coming under the act will be
made through the Georgia state em
ployment officers located in different
cities of the state. The increased ac
tivities of the service will result in
future expansion of the state employ
ment service, and positions required,
as well as present vacancies, will be
filled from the eligible lists.
, The examinations are open to men
' and women who have been residents
in the state for one year and who
meet the minimum qualifications an
nounced for the positions.
Midnight, April 23 is the deadline
' for accepting applications. Announce
ment forms and applications may be
obtain upon written request from

I plications meet the minimum require
ments will be notified of the place of
examination.
Minimum requirements in terms
of experience and education vary in
accordance with responsibilities and
duties of the position. A general re
quirement however, is that the com
| petitors have had appropriate expe
rience in employment problems and
