NEWS AT A GLANCE
ABOUT PEOPLE AND
THINGS IN GEORGIA
ATLANTA, Feb. 21 (GPS).— Georgia
is a safer place to live in nowadays.
Proof of this is found in the complete
tabulations just released by the depart
ment of public safety, which show there
were 816 deaths in the state during 1938
as the result of traffic accidents, a de
crease of 128 as compared with 1937.
There were 28,560 persons injured in
traffic accidents last year, compared to
33,040 injured 1937, and the economic
loss caused by accidents in 1938 was es
timated at $36,720,000. Eighty of those
killed last year were en route to schools,
and 128 were of school age. Not one of
these deaths, however, were recorded at
schools guarded by schoolboy patrolmen,
the report pointed out. Further proof
that the state-wide public safety move
ment is gaining impetus was the A., B.
& C. railroad’s recent report, which show
ed that not a single death or serious in
jury to persons resulted from accidents
at highway-railroad grade crossings over
its lines during 1938. The railroad oper
ated a total of 1,350,045 train miles dur
ing the year.
Cheaper and Safer: “There never was
a time when the railroad problem was of
greater significance nor of more vital in
terest than it is today,” declares William
C. Dickerman, president of the American
Locomotive company. “This railroad sys
tem of ours gives the cheapest and safest
transportation in the world. It gives em
ployment to a millioin men and, in 1937,
paid out in wages about five million dol
lars a day. It pays in taxes nearly a mil
lion dollars a day and, in normal times,
buys annually more than a billion dollars
worth of materials and supplies produc
ed in every state of the land. And this
purchasing power, as it fluctuates one
way or the other, has a similar influence
on the welfare of the country. If this
country is to survive, then our great
railroad system must survive. Given fair
treatment under a real constructive na
tional policy, then there are brighter
days ahead for all of us.”

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1939
DRIVE MADE FOR MORE
COTTON CONSUMPTION
The first step in an effort to join the
five major divisions of the cotton indus
try was launched Wednesday, Feb. 15,
when representatives from nearly every
county in Georgia met at the capitol
in Atlanta.
The county representatives heard Oscar
Johnson, chairman of the National Cot
ton council committee on organization,
urge them to unite for the purposes of
increasing the consumption of cotton.
Mr. Johnson was introduced by Gov.
Rivers, and talked to a joint session of
the house and senate, with the county
representatives in the gallery. His speech
was broadcast over WSB.
The National Cotton council, Mr. John
son stated, hopes to attack the problem
of consumption along five paths: adver
tising, to get more people to use cotton
in its various forms; improvement of
cotton quality; research for new uses;
tariff revisions, and opposition toward
discriminative legislation.
“For the first time in history there
are assembled today for a common pur
pose men representing the five primary
raw cotton interests,” Mr. Johnson said.
“In the National Cotton council are rep
resented producers, ginners, warehouse
men, cotton merchants, and cottonseed
crushers from each of the major cotton
producing states of the nation.
“The problem which confronts our in
dustry, the cotton industry, reduced to
a simple form is the age-old problem of
supply and demand. Without criticising
the governmental efforts to deal with the
situation, it can be said definitely, and
without controversy, that in the main
the government undertook to solve the
problem from a single angle; namely,
from the standpoint of supply or pro
duction.
“We are in complete accord through
out the industry as to the desireability of
increasing the consumption of American
cotton and its by-products by inteDigent
advertising of those products. We are
also in accord on the desireability of im
proving quality, scientific research for
new uses, revision of tariffs, and opposi
tion to discriminatory legislation.
“Is there then any sort of reason why
representatives of each of the five cot
ton interests should not come together,
perfect an organization, and fight for the
advancement of the industry?”
The plan of the National Cotton coun
cil and the Georgia unit is to raise a func
for the operation of the new organiza
tion by making assessments on the va
rious cotton interests, which will be used
to advance the five phases of the work
described by Mr. Johnson.
LYERLY SCHOOL PROJECT
50 PER CENT COMPLETED
Regional Director H. T. Cole today
announced Lyerly’s sll,Blß PWA school
was 50 per cent, completed.
At this time Cole reported from At
lanta that the regional office had receiv
ed a requests for $1,181.80 publicworks
administration funds as a grant payment
on the project.
Under PWA regulations this requisi
tion —for one-tenth the total cost—can
be paid when the improvement is 70 per
cent, finished. The request was filed at
the 50 per eent. stage so that PWA could
examine the documents and have the
funds ready by the time the project
reached the 70 per cent, stage of com
pletion, Cole said.
Payment will bring PWA funds paid
to the project to 35 per cent, of the total
cost, and leave only 10 per cent, to be
paid at the time of completion.
With this payment, 90 per cent, of the
total cost will be made available for the
construction account. All of the owner's
share—s6,so0 —will be deposited before
PWA’s final 10 per cent, payment is
made.

ATLANTA.—L. Thomas (“Pat") Gil

Georgia May Have
Eastern Standard
ATLANTA, Feb. 21 (GPS).—Georgia
is a step nearer having eastern standard
time throughout the state. The Georgia
house of representativese, by a vote of
103 to 66, voted a bill to make eastern
standard time the official time all over
the state. The bill, which would change
the time on June 1, 1939, has been trans
mitted to the senate. Representatives said
it would give a large part of Georgia an
extra hour of daylight. Representative
David S. Atkinson, of Savannah, was the
author of the measure, which was sub
stituted for one proposed by Represen
tative Chappell, of Sumter, calling for a
state-wide vote.
Slums To Vanish In
Georgia, Says Straus
ATLANTA, Feb. 21 (GPS).—Slums,
the breeding place for crime and disease,
soon will be a thing of the past in Geor
gia and the rest of the nation, in the
opinion of Nathan Straus, administrator
of the United States housing authority,
who addressed the Georgia legislature
during a recent two-day visit in Atlanta.
, Atlanta and Georgia are leading the
rest of America in slum clearance, Mr.
Straus said. One-third of all federal
housing funds are being spent in the few
states of the southeast, he said.
“This,” Mr. Straus added, “is not be
cause Atlanta and Georgia need the
money most, but bees use of the interest
of such foresighted men as your governor
and your C. Y. Palmer. It will not be
long before they will be referred to as
pioneers in one of America’s greatest un
dertakings.”
Mr. Palmer, chairman of the Atlanta
Housing authority, which fostering a 1939
lowcost housing program involving more
than $14,250,000 and seeking an addi
tional $15,000,000, was host to Mr.
Straus. The main objective of the federal
program is to provide better homes at
low rentals for those persons who hereto
fore “barely existed in what is termed
as slums.” Mr. Straus made it clear that
the federal program is not just for larger
, cities, but for any city or hamlet any-
I where in Georgia or elsewhere.”
