GEORGIA’S PROGRAM /^ 1E Ta RE-CREATE EMPIRE /WW VTA T EOF?S6L/44n f |THESOUTH/ ' 1 ft®/J i I IvO 1\ BUDGET/ Despite reductions, here and there, on grants to some departments, it is appar ent that the general assembly will reject any idea of curtailing ‘The Program’ so drastically as to destroy it. In the main, the act of 1939, making appropriations for the two years ending June 30, 1941. will carry grants approximating those of the past fiscal year. In following this policy, the assembly will be carrying out the expressed wishes of the members’ constituents, who have voted repeatedly for progressive govern ment and increased services for the state. No man, walking into a store to buy articles to make his home a better place, a more comfortable place, in which to live with his family, expects to get a ham, a sack of flour, a new refrigerator, a They Learn from Southern Women Touring Reporters, now conduct ing a Query among women of the South and West, report remark able agreement as to the benefits secured by users of CARDUI.

Name--- Address—- —- City—-State My Beautician doll for the little girl and a kitchen apron for his wife without cost. He expects to pay for them. So can the citizen expect to pay for the new and valuable state services in the fields of public welfare, education and health. Continuing the analogy, the house holder had, when he saw the total of his purchases, three alternatives: (1) He could tell the merchant he had changed his mind, and let the merchandise go back on the shelf; (2) he could curtail his budget for repairing his home and improving the grounds, and use the mon ey for the new purchases; (3. he could increase his budget, and pay for his new purchases. In the case of the state, it amounts to this: (1) the state —the body of citi zens as a whole —could have decided not to ‘buy old-age assistance, a seven-month school term, free textbooks and a health program'; against this plan they have decided definitely; (2) they can take the money that is now going into permanent improvements, roads and bridges, and use it for current appropriation needs; (3) they can accept a sales tax and pay for their new services with the revenue de rived. Geoergians repeatedly have opposed what is known as ‘diversion of highway funds.’ They have, in fact, carried this opposition to extremes, burdening Geor gia with an inflexible, nefarious and dangerous system of ‘allocated revenues’ that has been extended to many other departments. The question, however, is alive again in this assembly. Candidly, much drivel is talked on both sides. Opponents of ‘diversion’ as sert that, if the ‘allocation system’ is terminated, enormous sums in federal funds will be lost. This is not altogether accurate, if the highway appropriation is fixed at twelve million dollars or more, if paid in full — which, of course, can only be accomplished through broadening the tax base. On the other hand, the ‘diversionists’ assert that road building could be well curtailed at this time, and the gasoline tax be applied to other uses. This is in genius but not ingenuous. Aside from whether financing the state largely from a sales tax. at an enormous rate, on gas oline is justified morally, Georgians in rural areas know this to be the fact: only the main roads, the great arteries of traffic serving through-travelers and the major towns, have been completed; the roads serving the people of Georgia themselves have not yet been built, and it will take twelve or fifteen years more to build these roads. The diversionists, of course, represent either interests or sec tions of the state that already find the road system adequate. Regardless of the economic distress, incidental to decreas ed highway employment, or the social and economic interests of other groups and sections, they desire to stop repair ing the house and stop improving the grounds of our common home, the state of Georgia, in order to pay for new services. This is selfish, but not vicious: these representatives, in general, come from dense urban areas that already have good roads, but which need and deserve more money for schools and aid to the aged and dependent children. But other Geor gians should not be misled into voting against their interests. Incidentally, it is these same areas that would pay most into the treasury from any sales tax that might be passed. The remaining expedient is such a sales tax. With the rate reduced to a reason- THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1939 WITH THE STARS Vera Zorina, the star of “I Married An Angel,” has been signed to play the lead in “On Your Toes.” Miss Zorina has appeared in pictures once before, in "The Goldwyn Follies.” The studio hopes to borrow Roy Bolger for the male lead. Mr. Bolger is familiar with the role as he played it in the original stage produc tion on Broadway . . . A French studio is trying to borrow Isa Miranda to play the lead in “Dame de L’Quest.” Ramon Na,arro is schedul ed for the male lead . . . “Tree of Liberty” is too long to be filmed as a regular picture, and will either be made as a trilogy to be booked at intervals of a month or as an after noon and night picture . . . M-G-M has announced that Grace Hayes, ex-variety entertainer, has been signed by that studio as a successor to Marie Dressier. Miss Hayes is 20 years younger than Miss Dressier was at the height of the latter's career . . . Sybil Jason, a talented youngster from Australia, was given a contract four years ago and hailed as a rival to Shir ley Temple. Nothing much was heard of her thereafter, but she recently appear ed in Shirley’s last picture, “The Little Princess.” She was so good that she had the offer of two splendid contracts . . . Tyrone Power is glad to be through with empire saving for a while and likes his ordinary role in “Rose of Washing ton Square” very much. With Alice Faye, he sings ‘The Curse of An Aching Heart” . . . In “Let Freedom Ring,” Nelson Eddy knocks Victor McLaglen cold without duffling a stand of his, Eddy’s, hair . . . Vivien Leigh, who plays the part of Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind,” only gets SI,OOO a week for her work . . . Joe E. Brown believes in radios. He has fourteen in his house, one for each of the family’s four automobiles, and one in his box at the Santa Anita race track . . . After two weeks’ work on “Rose of Washington Square,” the director decided that Marie Wilson looked too much like Alice Faye and ordered Miss Wilson out of the picture and some of the scenes re-shot . . . Nancy Kelly carries her mother along on all her dates as she says she is too ytning to go out unchaperoned. She will be 18 in March and then she may ven ture out without Nan, as she calls her mother. She is much prettier off the able 2 per cent., and with assurance that die collection will be by tokens instead of by the vicious ‘bracketing system,’ this measure is not injurious or inequitable to anyone. It will provide enough reve nue for the state to operate at a maxi mum of efficiency, without waste, and, if the assembly of this and subsequent years passes well-organized appropria tions bills, it will permit the accumula tion of a small but valuable surplus. The program means too much to Geor gians for them to sacrifice any part of its essential elements, whether schools, public assistance, health or highways. In such matters, the old proverb applies, “Progress costs money, but going back ward is extravagant.” fUE VDfigET ne wills W IlVfab I low-priced car combining ‘All That’s Best at You can pay more - but JWMIIW you can’t get more quality! 11 I 17/( fie, d JI Chevrolet bring* you the outstanding quality features of the c uu /rt q J "^^^day— Including Exclusive Vacuum Gearshift, Body by Fisher, Perfected / w< *Af 0 ,- B I c Clutch 9S r»"n*B Knee-Action Riding System*—at the lowest tost for purchase price, gas, oil and upkeepl g Drive this car—be more comfortable physically—and be more comfortable mentally, too— / B because of the big savings I *aw>« o h. «*io.t.rD. tux. mod./.on/y / Don’t be satisfied with anything but the best—BUY A CHEVROLET! / J S °fyPlat e B A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE SEE YOUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER w " McWhorter-Selman Chevrolet Co.

Marlene Dietrich has at last signed a new contract with Warner Bros., but not at her old price of $150,000 a picture. No figures were given out so it is safe to say that Miss Dietrich is working for much less than she did formerly. Her first picture will be an adaptation of “The Changeling” . . . An unidentified Georgia worker has returned a benefit check to the bureau, accompanied by a letter stating that he did not feel he was entitled to it. “I have not filed a claim for unem ployment compensation,” his letter read, “and I do not feel I am entitled to this check.” It was for a nominal sum.
