ABOUT PEOPLE AND
THINGS IN GEORGIA
SAYS THIRTY MORE INDUSTRIES
COULD BE CARRIED ON PROF
ITABLY IN GEORGIA.
ATLANTA. April 18 (GPS).—At least
thirty more industries could be carried
on profitably in Georgia, according to a
report made recently to the state board
of regents by Prof. 11. E. Dennison, head
of the economics department of Georgia
Tech. Among the industries advocated in
the report were woolen mills, highly re
fined canning industries, paper manufac
ture, meat production and manufacture
of high quality cotton goods. The report
was based on a six months’ survey con
ducted by the Georgia Tech experiment
station and the economics department.
“These industries would be able to pay
high wages, make a fair profit for the
owners, and the taxable value of prop
erty owned by them naturally would be
high,” the report said. “Such industries
add greatly, by the use of labor, to the
value of the product. The people of Geor
gia are buying these products now, but
are not producing them.”
Write Your Congressman: “The rail
roads and their employes are asking for
equality of competitive opportunity, for
a fair field and no government favor in
transportation,” according to a recent
railroad bulletin. “Measures are now be
ing considered in congress that are steps
in this direction. These measures are for
the welfare not alone of the railroads,
but of the taxpayers. Your senators and
congressmen should be advised and will
welcome your opinion on this important
matter of public policy.”
Gist Os the News: An intensive drive
to prosecute all violators of the state
automobile tag law has been started
throughout the state . . . More than 2,-
000 boys and girls nave been enrolled in
Fulton county 4-H clubs as a result of
the 1039 membership drive, just com
pleted. The various clubs are carrying on
some 6,200 projects . . . May 1 has been
proclaimed “Child Health Day” by Gov.
Rivers. The proclamation urges Georgians
•‘to take inventory of the health needs,
particularly of protection of our young
children, against diphtheria” . . . For
the fifth consecutrve year Atlanta has
ranked among the first three cities of the
United States with populations from
250,000 to 500,000 in fire prevention ac
tivities. Atlanta was accorded the rating
of first, honor city, being next to Mem
phis, the winner of the grand award in
1938.
EROSION CONTROL.
Even a vigorous plant like kudzu will
profit by a good spring tonic at the be
ginning of the second or third growing
season, according to J. O. Chandler, soil
conservation service agronomist in the
Chattooga county work unit.
Field trials in erosion control demon
stration areas indicate that a liberal
broadcast application of phosphate just
before growth begins in the spring ot the
second or third growing season will re
sult in a marked increase in growth,
which will greatly improve the erosion
control value of this plant, Chandler said.
After an application of 400 to 600
pounds of 16 per cent, superphosphate
or its equivalent per acre, disking the
entire area, including the original rows
if the plants have become well establish
ed over the ground surface, will prove
beneficial, he said.
Meanwhile, on new stands of kudzu
planted during the past winter and on
older stands that have not made proper
growth, enough cultivation along the
rows with a plow to control weeds and
to keep the soil in good condition will
promote the development of new plants
and a thick stand, he said.
Kudzu responds to proper treatment
just like any other crop. Chandler ex
plained, and for rapid growth on eroded
land, essential treatment includes proper
fertilizing, and dean-cultivation until the
plants are well established.

Local Ice Plant
In New Hands
The Summerville Ice company, former
ly owned by the Summerville Cotton
mills, has been purchased by the Sum
merville-Trion Ice company and will be
operated under that name. Quinton
Wood, formerly assistant manager of the
Douglasville branch of the Southland Ice
company, has been named manager of the
new concern and is now in charge of the
local plant.
The ice plant has been completely re
modeled and will produce the purest and
highest quality ice possible. ML Wood
states that the plant will be open every
day in the week, twenty-four hours each
day, and ice may be purchased at the
plant at any time. Regular delivery serv
ice will be available in Summerville,
Trion, Berry ton and Lyerly, according to
Mr. Wood.
It is the opinion of the owners of the
new concern that the Summerville and
Trion territory is one of the most prom
ising sections of the southeast. They are
confident of doing a successful business
in this area.
CHATTOOGA COUNTY TAX POLL.
For all who may be interested in the
Chattooga county tax poll of al] senators
and representatives of the state on the
following pledge:
“When the economy committee’s inves
tigation work is completed, I am ready
and willing to return to the state legis
lature to join my fellow legislators in
providing funds with which to complete
payments of teachers’ salaries, promised
by the state for the fiscal year 1938-39,
and to provide permanent and adequate
finales for schools in the future.”
We take this opportunity to give a fi
nal report. To date, sixty returns from
representatives of which only two are
unfavorable; fifteen senators, all favor
able. We have 205 representatives and
fifty-two senators; therefore, 147 rep
resentatives and thirty-seven senators
failed to return the pledge sent them, and
Chattooga county’s representative is
among those who refused to return the
pledge.
What conclusion would you reach from
the above facts? Here are some we have
drawn :
1. Legislators consider schools of sec
ondary importance.
2. Teachers’ salaries promised by the
state will go unpaid.
3. The state absolutely refuses to be
responsible for seven months school term.
4. Georgia will continue to rank high
in illiteracy.
5. School children and teachers will
continue to suffer from the wrongs done
by those in responsible state positions.
6. Georgia’s university system, one o'
the oldest in the south, will be forced to
lower standards and ranking.
7. “The Cream of Georgia’s Public-
School Teachers” will be drawn to states
that consider educational training a vi
tal process in the development of theii
children.
8. An intelligent citizenry which is the
cornerstone of democracy is being threat
ened.
As president of Chattooga count.'
teachers’ organization, I wish to express
my sincere appreciation to all who have
helped in any way in conducting the poll,
especially Mr. Dillard, Mr. Baine and
Mrs. Hyatt, whose suggestions and co
operation have accounted largely for the
success of our undertaking.

Program Arranged
For State Medicos
ATLANTA, April 18 (GPS).—A com
prehensive scientific program, ranging
from a lecture on medical economics to
a study of common colds, will feature
the eighty-ninth annual meeting of the

Shoulders, of Nashville, will talk on
phases of medical economics, and Robert
F. Maddox, chairman of the Georgia

at Hotel General Forrest. In addition to
the displays of specimen blooms, there
will be flower and table arrangements,
and garden furniture groups.
A special feature will be the exhibits
made by men flower-lovers.
SOIL CONSERVATION
Not many farmers have fertilizer to
burn, but that’s just what they do when
they burn crop and other vegetative resi
due in cleaning up about the farm in th<
spring, according to Jason O. Chander,
agronomist of the soil conservation serv
ice in the Chattooga county work unit
at Summerville.
Cotton and corn stalks actually contain
part of the fertilizer applied to these
crops last year and they will return it
to the soil if the stalks are plowed under
rather than being burned, Chandler says.
Even grass and other vegetative mate
rial adds plant foods to the soil and all
vegetative residue adds organic matter
which makes the soil easier to work and
enables it to absorb more moisture.
Erosion is much easier to control o’
soil with a high organic content, because
a part of the water soaks into the soil
instead of running off and carrying witl
it particles of topsoil, he declared.
Burning woods, hedgerows, fence rows,
and other areas which are not cultivated
leaves the soil bare and exposed to sur
face washing. This practice destroys wild
life food and cover and in woodland it
destroys tree seed and young trees.
PREACHING AT CHELSEA.
The Rev. O. E. Nix, of Chattanooga,
will preach at Chelsea church Sunday,

Riegeldale Cow
To Be On Exhibit
At World’s Fair
Two purebred cows have been selected I
to represent Georgia dairy herds at the
New York World’s fair, according to an
announcement from Athens this week by
Frank W. Fitch, Georgia agricultural
extension service dairyman.
The two cows selected are Green
Meadow Melba, a registered Guernsey
owned by the Riegeldale farms at Trion,
and Daffodil Observer Gamboge, a reg
istered Jersey from Berry schools at
Mount Berry.
“This national honor has come to these
two fine cows and to the herds they rep
resent because of their outstanding ac
complishments,” Fitch said. “Both cows
are wonderful milk producers and carry
the characteristics that portray these two
great breeds.
“All visitors to the New York World’s
fair will enjoy seeing the great dairy ex
hibit, and the two Georgia cows on ex
hibit will be among the nation’s finest.”
The Guernsey cow will be in special
Guernsey exhibit sponsored by the Amer
ican Guernsey Cattle club at the fair.
She is a world’s champion producer, with
a record of 15,342 pounds of milk and
963 pounds of butterfat, made as a two
year-old.

DISTRICT CAPTAINS
WOMENS FIELD’ ARMY
MET HERE FRIDAY
MRS. RITCHIE, STATE COMMAND
ER. OUTLINE PROGRAM FOR
CANCER CONTROL.
The district captains of the Women’s
Field army for the control of cancer met
at the Methodist church, Friday, April
14. Mrs. H. B. Ritchie, of Athens, who
is the state commander, outlined the pro
gram for cancer control. The thing em
phasized by Mrs. Ritchie as being the
most important in the control of cancer
was the finding of cancer in its early
stages through a complete physical ex
amination periodically by your family
physician. Another thing that Mrs. Rit
chie urges is that we do all we can to do
away with the idea that cancer is some
thing that should be talked about in
private only, that cancer is not something
to be ashamed of and that if those hun
dreds of people who have been cured of
cancer would talk freely of the “New,
Life” that has been given to them, then
other people who are so afraid to go to
the doctor would lose this fear and get
the early treatment that is so important.
Mrs. Ritchie then urged that a thorough
canvass be made of people who have can
cer in his county who are financially un
able to receive treatment from the phy
sicians that they may be urged to see
any member of the Women’s Field army
or their local chairman, Mrs. E. R. Bus
kin, to get information about the free
treatment they may receive. Mrs. Ritchie
stated that more children between the
ages of 1 and 14 die with cancer each
year than they do of infantile paralysis
and that one out of every eight women
and one out of every ten men who die
each year die of this disease. Her final
plea was that everyone join the field
army for the control of cancer that we
might wipe out the disease in our coun
ty and give “new life” to hundreds of
people.
The Women’s Field Army For the
Control of Caneer is really an army in
every sense, an army that wages war to
secure peace of body, soul and mind.
After this beneficial and inspirational
talk, luncheon was enjoyed at the tavern
by the captains and the members of the
Junior Woman’s club.
EARLY IS THE WATCHWORD.
The triumph of the early bird over the
unfortunate worm is nothing to the vic
tory that has been won by the tens of
thousands of men and women who have
had the good fortune or the good sense
to secure early diagnosis and early treat
ment for cancer. In its early stages, this
disease is one of the most curable of all
serious threats to life. When the cancer
has advanced, there is too often little
that can be done for the patient.
No one knows how many men and
women have been cured of cancer. A few
years ago the American College of Sur
geons began collecting records from its
approved clinics of those who had been
treated and were free of the disease for
five, ten or fifteen years, and in 1938 an
nounced that it had 29,195 such cases.
The American Society for the Control of
Cancer which recently launched a Cured
Caneer club headed by a valiant physi
cian, Dr. Anna C. Palmer, who is 82
years old, says that there are thousands
of other cases that have not found their
way into the records of the American
college.
The Women’s Field Army Against
Caneer is conducting its third annual en
listment and education derive through
out the country under the slagon “Early
Cancer Is Curable—Fight It With
Knowledge.” Each year, the army tells
us, between fifty and seventy-five thou
sand men and women die of cancer who
could and should have been saved by
early diagnosis and early treatment.
The goal of this nation-wide campaign
during April, set aside by special act of
congress and presidential proclamation,
is the saving of lives. Let us make cer
tain ourselves that if we or our family
develop symptoms that mean caneer we
shall be among the early ones.
COUPLE TAKE TURNS.

PREDICTION COMES TRUE.
