NEWS AT A GLANCE
ABOUT PEOPLE AND
THINGS IN GEORGIA
ATLANTA, June 13 (GPS).—The
newspaper still in the nation's No. 1 ad
vertising medium. Despite the develop
ment of new media of advertising and
predictions from some corners that the
newspaper ‘has seen its best days.’ news
papers in 1938 received the largest sum
spent in any one medium. Figures recent
ly made public show that last year na
tional advertisers alone spent a total of
$376,318,593 in newspapers, magazines,
chain radio, spot radio and farm jour
nals.
Os that total newspapers received
$148,713,593; magazines, $127,327,819:
chain radio, $71,342,632; spot radio,
$16,161,415; farm journals, $12,773,691.
Thus 74 per cent, of the total went to
newspapers and magazines, with the
newspapers receiving 40 per cent, and the
magazines 34 per cent.
Further evidence of the newspapers
importance in the advertising field is seen
in current statistics compiled by the Ad
vertising Age, and just recently made
public in Chicago. The figures show that
retail newspaper advertising in eighty
leading markets for the twenty-one weeks
ended May 27. 1939, was 2,430,000 lines
ahead of the corresponding period last
year. For the twenty-one-week period,
newspapers in these cities have carried
401,129,951 lines of retail advertising,
compared with 398.699,795 lines last
year.
Greater Service: During the first four
months of 1939 Class I railroads put in
service 6.817 new freight cars, compared
with 5,302 new freight ears put in serv
ice during the same period last year, a
gain of 1.515, according to the Associa
tion of American Railroads. These rail
roads on May 1 had 6,391 new freight
cars on order, comparefl with 4,867 on
the same day in 1938, a gain of 1,524.
according to the report. Freight cars
leased or otherwise acquired are not in
cluding in the foregoing figures, it was
pointed out.
Gist Os the News: Georgia's chief ex
ecutive and her First Lady have been

Is It A Calf?—
Or Maybe a Pig
HAZLEHURST.—After hearing this
story one could almost believe in mer
maids ! The other night a sow owned by
Jim Holton, who lives near Hazlehurst,
gave birth to ten pigs, the front of them
resembling a pig except for their big calf
eyes and long eye lashes, and their back
feet were exactly like those of a cow.
Eight of the pigs were born dead but
two lived for about two days. A peculiar
thing about them was that they could
not walk, but hopped about like frogs.
Roving Sparrows
Live On Truck
WAYNESBORO. —There is a truck in
Burke county which is the home for three
young sparrows. This truck makes daily
rounds into different parts of the county,
carrying the birds with it. Bruce Barnes,
bookkeeper at the county farm, discover
ed the nest when the young were holler
ing one day while he was away from the
usual place of parking the truck, and
upon investigation found the nest in the
chassis of the vehicle. When he arrived
at the county farm and parked the truck
in the usual place he happened to see the
two parent birds immediately begin to
feed their young| Upon observation, Mr.
Barnes noticed that when he left the
farm to make his daily rounds the par
ents would perch themselves on a fence
nearby and there they remained until
his return when they began feeding their
babies again.
Guinea Hen Lays
Numbered Eggs
FITZGERALD. —If you are supersti
tious don’t read this but it is a fact just
the same. A guinea egg brought from the
farm of H. G. (‘Cowboy’) Smith in Ben
Hill county is very plainly marked with
the Roman numerals IX. Does this mean
that the modern guinea will be expected
to lay dated eggs, and if so, what good
does it do in America to date them by
the year where a six-month-old egg is a
storage item? Now if we were in China
■where an egg 100 years old is considered
fresh, then this dated egg would prevent
counterfeit. Or if you believe in omens,
does this mean another World war will
start in 1939 or does it mean that this
year will mark the end of the world?
Fact is, 1939 will mark the end of this
world for millions of people, but egg or
no egg. most of us will be eating eggs
next year whether they are dated are not!

MUST GET DRIVERS’
LICENSES BY JUNE 30
Over 100,000 Georgians have renewed
their drivers’ licenses since May 1, it
was announced by Commissioner Phil
Brewster, department of public safety.
The commissioner has stated definitely
that there will be no extension of the
dead line —June 30 —for renewals this
year.
‘‘The law gives drivers from May 1
until June 30, two months, in which to
renew their drivers' lisenses and there is
no reason for any extension of time be
yond June 30,” Commissioned Brewster
said.
Under the new safety act, passed by
the 1939 general assembly, persons who
do not now hold a Georgia driver's li
cense must stand an examination. Renew
ing a license does not require an exapii
nation. Examinations can be secured at
every courthouse in the state periodical
ly where schedules ae posted of the dates
on which troopers visit the courthouse
for this purpose.
Those holding a Georgia license may
secure a new license by simply filling out
an application for renewal, available
at one central location in every commun
ity and at every law enforcement office,
and mailing same direct to the depart
ment. of public safety, Box 1741, Atlanta,
with the proper fee.
The cost of the license is $1 for one
year and $2 for two years.
Tlte new safety act provides that pri
. ate chauffeurs and persons whose occu
pation requires that they regularly op
erate a truck, and persons who are em
ployed for the principal purpose of op
erating a motor vehicle, must secure a
public chauffeur’s license which requires
a strict examination.
Applicants for public chauffeurs’ li
censes can secure their examination at
he courthouse on the scheduled days, or
at any state patrol headquarters any
day except Sunday.
It was the intent of the general as
sembly that persons who must regularly
drive trucks and vehicles on our highways
be examined carefully since they are more
likely to be able to avoid an accident than
those who drive for pleasure and occa
sionally,” Commissioner Brewster said.

could get hack on his feet. After this,
McNatt scored three knockdowns, the
third Glymph was counted out.
The semi-final between Dick Swaf
ford and Leon Espy gave the fans
their real thrill of the evening. After
six rounds, both boys were on the
verge of a K. 0.. but neither could land
a punch sufficient to floor his oppon
ent. After the fight both boys asked
for a return fight and were signed to
fight the ten-round bout on the next
eard.
This week’s fight card at Tate arene
will feature a double main-go. with Di’d

DR. COLLINS INSISTS
TEACHERS MUST BE
PAID BACK SALARIES
ATLANTA. June 13 (UNS).—Dr. M.
D. Collins, state school superintendent,
has not receded from his insistence that
Georgia school-teachers who patriotically
jtayed on the job without pay, believing
the assembly’s assurance that salaries
due in they recently completed school year
would be paid in full later, should re
ceive their money. More than $5,000,000.
the balance of the 1938-39 grant to the
common schools for teachers’ salaries,
remains unpaid by the state.
Dr. Collins has the distinction of being
the only state official who has not been
paid his salary in full during the fiscal
crisis. As state school superintendent, he
directed the state department of educa
tion not to issue'a check for his salary
'll the time the state lapsed its first pay
ment to the teachers. Since that date his
salary has gone unpaid.
Disagreeing with the house economy
committee, which declared that the ques
tion of paying the teachers for their serv
ices during the past school term was a
‘question of policy' for the assembly to
determine when it next convijped, Dr. Col
lins takes the position that the assembly
has already determined the state's policy.
T* » assembly, at the regular session,
unanimously passed a resolution pledging
full payment of school salaries. The ques
tion. as the state school head sees it, is
‘when will the teachers get their money?'
H feels sure that the assembly eventual
ly will provide the money and that the
teachers of Georgia will be paid. When
th»y get their checks, he will get one.
too—for his salary since last January.
Water Works
Completed
Summerville's water works system,
which was acquired by the city during
the early part of the year, has been
completed and final inspections were
made Wednesday by officials of the pub
lic works administration, W. S. Hazzard
and J. A. Bolling, members of city coun
cil. T. J. Espy, city recorder; H, O.
Christie, engineer from the J. B. Mc-
Crary Construction company, and E. C.
t'atts, engineer for the Jos. B. 'Cothran
Construction company, of Atlanta.
The completed project was found to be
in good condition, with the exception of
a few minor details, according to the
statement of Mr. Hazzard.
The total cost of the waterworks proj
ect was approximately $52,000, 45 per
cent., of which was furnished by the pub
lic works administration. The system has
been greatly improved and enlarged and
the water softening plant was put into
operation this week, giving Summerville
as pure water as can be found in
Georgia.
The project has furnished employment
to from 25 to 100 men since the work
vas started at the prevailing wage scale.
Local merchants have been benefitted by
this project, since practically all the
money paid to employes has been spent
with Summerville firms.
According to Mr. Hazzard, the water
works project is one of the government’s
ideal projects for local communities, and
the- people of Summerville receive the
benefits of it without additional tax bur
dens, being a self-liquidating project, or.
in other words, the waterworks system
will pay for itself within a specified
period of years.
Plans for dedication of the project are
being made and will be announced later.

GEORGIA’S RETAIL FOOD
DEALERS BAR SALES TAX
ATLANTA, June 13. —The Georgia
Retail Food Dealers association, in the
closing session of their annual convention
in Atlanta, today adopted a resolution
opposing a sales tax and calling upon
Gov. E. D. Rivers to pult into practice
the recommendations of the house econ
omy committee in order to avoid the need
tor a special session of the general as
j sembly.
The resolution, unanimously adopted,
' set out that "it is evident that certain
i political forces are at work in the state
I of Georgia to greatly increase taxation
I without regard for the welfare of the
general public of the state of Georg’ i
are attempting to force upon the people
a sales tax."
Such a tax, particularly one applied to
foodstuffs, the resolution set out, will
“work a great hardship on a citizenry
already heavily burdened by numerous
and excessive taxes and will result in
taking food from the mouths of many
who will be unable to bear the additional
burden."
The resolution called on the members
of the association to urge their represen
tatives in the general assembly "to main
' tain a representative attitude in the
j matter and vote against any such tax on
| the basis such tax is not deemed neces
! sary and will be resented by a majority
j of the citizenry."
BOY SCOUT PATROLS
ORGANIZED HERE
Two troops of Boy Scouts were organ
ized in Summerville about two weeks
ago, with W. E. Turner, scoutmaster,
and James Smith, assistant scoutmaster.
At the first meeting there were two scout
masters and two scouts from Atlanta
present to assist the troops in getting
organized.
At the first meeting we divided into
two patrols—the Crows and the Eagles,
with Charles Marks as patrol leader of
the Ai'rows, and Frank Kellett patrol
leader of the Eagles. The Crows’ colors i
are black and white, and the Eagles' col
ors are red, white and blue.
At the second meeting we learned the
scout oath, played games and learned
| some points in marching.
A hike was planned for Sunday at 3
o'clock and we hiked over to Lowe's
spring and back.
A contest was also planned for perfect
attendance at the next eight meetings,
the losing patrol giving the winning pa
trol a weiner roast.
[ Our meeting nights are scheduled for
j every Thursday, and any boy .from 12 to
> is eligible to •nter.
The Lions club is sponsoring the troop
and we hope to have a good one.

STATE, COUNTY AND
LOCAL
HAPPENINGS.
CITES VALUE OF THE
LESPEDEZA SERICEA
CONTROL TO EROSION
I The value of lespedeza sericea as a hay
| crop depends on cutting the hay at just
the right stage, according to Jason O.
| Chandler, agronomist of the soil conser
vation service in the Chattooa county
work unit of the Coosa river soil con
| servation district.
Many farmers in this section who have
i planted lespedeza sericea as a part of the
! erosion-control program on their farms
| can obtain the advantage of a supplemen
tal hay supply during the second or later
growing season is they will cut the hay
at the proper stage, Chandler pointed
I out. The best hay is made when the
| plants average about fourteen inches high.
Unlike kudzu, which may be cut for
■ hay from the time it makes sufficient
growth in the spring until frost, sericea
-gets tough and stem.v if allowed to grow
too rank.
Cutting the sericea at the proper stage
also allows the young seedlings to grow,
thickening the stand and developing a
better cover for the soil. The later growth
can then either be permitted to mature
a seed crop or be cut for a second crop
of hay at the proper stage.
Increased plantings of lespedeza seri
eea, kudzu, and other erosion-resistant
crops in this section are doing much to
eliminate such time-consuming practices
as pulling fodder and chopping soybeans
out of corn for feeding live stock, but
these new crops have also created a need
for harvesting machinery, Chandler
pointed out.
Farmers who do not own a mowing
machine may be able to borrow or rent
one from a neighbor, or a group of farm
ers in the same community may be able
to make arrangements through County
Agent Dawson for co-operative purchase
f a mower, Chandler added.

CHARLES A. WILLIAMS.
