STATE RANKS FIFTH IN REDUC
TION IN ALTO DEATHS DUR
ING THIS YEAR
ATLANTA, July 18 (GPS ).—Georgia
is a safer place in which to live nowa
days. The state has made the fifth great
est reduction in automobile deaths dur
ing this year, it was revealed by the Na
tional Safety Council Public Safety Mag
azine in a nationwide motor vehicle acci
dent statistics. With a 20.8 per cent, re
duction in the number of lives lost and
injuries recorded as compared with the
same period last year, the safety council
lists Georgia as having the fifth greatest
‘saving of human life” on the highways
in the nation. Pennsylvania with 29 per
cent.. Minnesota with 21 per cent., Wy
oming with 30 per cent, and Utah with
31 per cent., were the only states in the
forty-eight having better records.
The Georgia record shows that sixty
nine lives have been figuratively “saved”
during the first five months of 1939, since
there were 337 killed during the same
period last year and only 268 this year.
So far this year, the 268 deaths and ap
proximately 9,380 injuries cost some
$12,060,000, as against the cost of $15,-
165,000 last year, which show's a cash
saving of $3,105,000. The 1939 total
shows not only 69 less lives lost than
1938, but it shows 82 less lives lost.
2,870 less injuries and $3,690,000 less
cost than the same period of the year
prior to the establishment of the Geor
gia state patrol.
Commissioner of Public Safety Lon
Sullivan said all agencies will be enlist
ed in a statewide, intensive campaign in
September to point toward a “saving" of
200 lives in Georgia this year.
America’s Need: “America is a land of
mass production and mass distribution.
That’s why it must have efficient, low
cost mass transportation,” declares the
Association of American Railroads. “And
mass transportation ran be provided by :
individual carrying units coupled togeth
er in trains, pulled by one powerful ma
chine, and guided along steel rails by
flanged wheels. That means railroads.
The future of America is tied to the fu
ture of its mass transportation—its rail
roads. Therefore, it is essential that you
support every effort to bring about -a
square deal in transportation.”
Gist Os the News: An increase of
$65,181.88 in the collection of federal
taxes in Georgia during the fiscal year
ending June 30 was reported by Marion
H. Allen. U. S. collector of internal rev
enue. The year’s collections totaled $33,-
728.656.35 in the state, compared with
$33,663,464.47 for the preceding twelve
months . . . Georgia led all peanut-pro
ducing states this year both in acreage
and amount of increase over 1938. The
state's 1939 acreage was reported at
746,000 acres, compared with 691,000
acres last year . . . During the first six
months of this year, the state bureau of
unemployment compensation distributed
$1,500,000 in unemployment compensa
tion and placed 42.000 unemployed men
and women in jobs throughout the state
. . . Georgia’s estimated cotton acreage
of 2,064,000 acres for this year is the
same as that in cultivation on July 1 of

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1939
Notice to Legionnaires
In Chattooga County
Thursrday night, July 20, will be the
regular meeting of the Chattooga county
post, American Legion, at Dr. Hair’s
cabin. We want every Legionnaire in the
county to be there.
Legion dues are $3 a year; 25 cents a
month, less than 1 cent a day.
Listen, buddies, preferences for assist
ance-service now goes to Legionnaires. A
Legionnaire pays his dues promptly with
out solicitation.
A Legionnaire is a real Buddy inter
ested in the success of his post. Are you
one your commander knows?
The new cards will be here by August.
We have elected W. F. Aldred com
mander for the new year, so let every
body help him to build this post member
ship up to 100 members in 1940.
WIVES OF VETERANS
The Wives of today may be Widows
Tomorrow
We. of the American Legion, KNOW
of the advantage it is to YOU and your
children to have your veteran husband
ACTIVE and in GOOD STANDING with
his American Legion post.
Year in and year out, the command
ers and officers of American Legion
nosts over Georgia have worked untir
ingly to increase their membership but
housands of veterans don’t seem to ap
nreciate what the American Legion does
•>:• them.
In the future, in all cases of requests
-or assistance and service through the
American Legion, we are going to give
preference to those veterans who BE
LIEVE IN and STAND BY the AMER
ICAN LEGION . . . You can’t blame
for that. We know what we ARE DO
ING and WHAT WE CAN DO for
those who work in the interest of our
organization . . . That’s just plain com
mon sense.
Our comrades are passing away at an
alarming rate (almost 130 a day) and in
creasing EVERY YEAR. In Georgia we
have many, many widows of veterans
w’ho could be drawing a pension but
their short-sighted, neglectful, indifferent
husbands FAILED to leave behind cer
tain information that the government DE
MANDS. Consequently, these poor wid
ow’s are suffering and are being DENIED
government aid and protection.
This question is serious, ladies. Far
more serious than many of you think.
TODAY, you should write the ordinary
of the county in which you were mar
ried. give him the date and place of your
marriage, to w'hom you were married, and
ask the ordinary if your marriage is re
corded in his books, and if not. what ev
idence does he want to have it record
ed. (Just think of the thousands of poor
folks in Georgia w’ho don’t know what
this means).
ALSO, you should write the bureau of
vital statistics in Atlanta, or the health
authorities of your county, and give the
ige, sex, date and place of birth of each
hild, and find out if the birth of your
hildren is properly recorded, if not ask
them what evidence is needed to have
these births recorded.
When your veteran husband is laid 1o
rest, we sincerely trust his comrades will
be able to say . . He was a good Legion
naire. It should also be mighty consoling
to him to know’ that he is ACTIVE to
day in an organization that will have the
interest of his loved ones at heart after
he is gone.
Such is the spirit of the American
Legion.
Imprope 7 Sewage
Disposal Dangerous
Warning prospective home builders in
communities beyond the limits of regu
lated w'ater and sewer systems of the dan
gers to health from improperly construct
ed w’ater supply and sew'age disposal fa
cilities, Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, director
of the state department of health, urges
such builders to contact local public
health officers for information of approv
ed standard designs or wells and septic
tanks. ’
“With the very large increase in home
building it is of extreme importance that
home owners give attention to the im
portant requirements for safe water sup
ply and sanitary sewage disposal sys
tems,” the health director stated.
He pointed out that epidemics are very
rare within the incorporated limits of the
larger ckies where regulations are en
forced by propel - authorities to secure
safe w’ater and sewage disposal systems.
As a health safeguard, builders of homes
should exercise great care in the proper
planning and executing of their home wa
ter supply and sewage disposal systems.
“The department of public health,
county board or district public health or
sanitation personnel in all states today
have employes who are technically train
ed and experienced in safeguarding the
public health, both in the individual
home and in larger communities. For the
home-builder outside of community pub
lic health regulations, sewer systems, and
water supply, properly designed and con
structed wells and septic tanks with
their disposal fields are safe. When not
properly constructed they are a nuisance
and a menace to health for both the in
dividual and the community,” Dr. Aber
crombie said.
For this reason he advises anyone
building a home beyond a community wa
ter supply or sewer system to first con
tact his local public health officer for
approved standard designs for wells and
septic tanks,
TENANT FARMERS MAY
GET FORTY-YEAR LOANS
CONGRESS CONSIDERING PRO
GRAM TO HELP TENANT
FARMER BUY FARMS.
Congress is considering an expanded
federal program to encourage farm ten
ants to buy their own farms.
Pleased with the success of a two-year
experiment under the Bankhead-Jones
farm tenant act, senators approved the
new program without a dissenting vote,
and early action in the house is pre
dicted.
Instead of loaning money for farm
purchase, as it has been doing the fed
ral government under the new plan
would give a 100 per cent, mortgage guar
antee on money borrowed from private
sources up to a total of $350,000,000.
Borrowers would have as much as for
v years to pay back the loan at 3 per
■ent. interest. No down payments would
be required.
Federal aid to enable landless farmers
to establish themselves on a place of their
own has been carried out on experimen
tal scale during the last two years. For
'he first year. congress appropriated
$10,000,000, which bought farms for 1.885
farm tenants, sharecroppers and laborers.
The next year the fund was increased to
$25,000,000 which was invested in al
most 5,000 farms.

COTTON ACREAGE NEAR
LAST YEAR’S PLANTING
TOTAL IN CULTIVATION JULY 1
IS 24,943,000 ACRES, DEPART
MENT SAYS.
Cotton in cultivation July 1 totaled
24,943,000 acres, of 99.7 per cent, of the
acreage in cultivation a year ago, the ag
riculture department reported.
In Georgia, the area in cultivation an
its percentage of the area one year ago
is 2,064.000 and 700, exactly the same
>.n in 1938.
The condition of the crop and forecast
of probable production of lint eotton
will not be issued until Aug. 8, the de
partment being prevented by law from
making public such information prior to
he August canvass.
A year ago the area in cultivation was
25,018,000 acres, abandonment was 1.1
per cent., area picked 24,480.000 acres,
yield 235.8 pounds per acre and total
production 11.944.000 bales of 500 pounds
each. Two years ago the July acreage was
34.090,000. abandonment 1.4 per cent.,
area picked 33.623,000 acres, yield 269.9
pounds and production 18,946.000 bales.
The ten-year (1929-38) average planted
area was 34,929.000 acres, abandonment
2.2 per cent., area picked 3.166,000 acres,
acre yield 198.1 pounds, and production
13,493.000 bales.
Urges Cotton Crop Insurance.
Congress is being urged by the Federal
< ’rop Insurance corporation to extend to
i tton farmers the crop insurance now
applicable to the wheat growers.
Cecil A. Johnson, assistant manager of
he corporation, * Id the house agricul
ture committee actuarial data accumu
lated during the first year of the wheat
insurance program “would be of invalu
■ble aid in formulating plans for the
otton crop insurance.”
Representaitive Anderson, of Minnesota,
declared the wheat insurance program
“could not possibly be held successful so
far. and it might take five or six years
to test it.”
“It would be premature to include cot
on now,” he said.
In answer to a question by Anderson
as to how he could “justify including
•itton in the program when the admin
istrative cost of insuring wheat was
reater than the premiums collected,”
Johnson replied :
“Any private corporation would amor
tize the first year’s cost over a period
of years. No one ever expected the pro
gram to be self-sustaining the first year."
Farm Department
Free of Debt First
Time In Two Years
ATLANTA, July 18 (CNS).—For the
first time in years, the state department
of agriculture is free of debt, has money
on hand and can discount all its bills.
The condition is in sharp contrast to
conditions two and a half years ago when
Columbus Roberts took the oath of office
as commissioner of agriculture and found
that debts of the department totalled
$82,509.29.
Most of these obligations were incurred
in establishing the farm market system,
which then earned virtually nominal
profits.
Since that date, Commissioner Roberts
has paid off the debts in full. $52,509.29
came from savings effected within the de
partment: $31,000 came from a refund of
part of the department’s contribution to
the stabilization fund.
In addition, the department of agricul
ture now receives, for the first time in
many years, no grant from the general
fund, but operates exclusively upon fees
for services performed, a remarkable ex
ample of the application of business
methods to public affairs.

CONTRACTOR ESCAPES
DEATH UNDER TRAIN
ATLANTA.—Trapped in his car by a
ladder he was holding against the side,
L. S. Rawlins, 64, College Park roofing
contractor, had a narrow brush with
death Saturday afternoon when an A. &
W. P. freight train struck his automobile
at the Harvard street crossing in Col
lege Park.
He was carried to Piedmont hospital
seemingly badly hurt, but his wounds
were found to consist of only scalp lace
rations and bruises.
Isis step-son. Herman Moore, 16. driv
ing the car, told the family that he saw
he train as he approached the crossing
and put on the brakes, but they failed to
mid.
He said he had time to tell Mr. Raw
lins :
“Jump, the brakes won’t hold,” before
ie himself dived to safety out the door
on the driver’s side. Mr. Rawlins couldn’t
get out because of the ladder and was
dill in the front seat when the train
truck broadside.
The car was badly smashed.
FIRE ALARM ALIBI
BRINGS 30 DAYS
- NEW YORK. —Tickle Samuel Wilson,
4, in the ribs and the reaction is some
times surprising. Friends who knew his
weakness, he explained to the judge to
day, did just that, with the result that
Wilson reached for a nearby fire alarm
tnd gave it a yank.
“I’m just ticklish, judge, that’s all,”
lio said.
This alibi for turning in a false alarm
ailed to strike the court’s funnybone.
Vilson got thirty days.

Mr. Raab, a victim of chigger bites,
was so severely chewed that he was run

As physicians applied ointments to
oothe the itching skin, Mr. Raab ex
plained that he got the chiggers while

It rained dolls ”s from heaven—or so

DIVERSION OF ROAD
FUNDS NOT LIKELY
UNLESS WORK STOPS
SAYS TREMENDOUS LOSS WOULD
BE THE CONSEQUENCES OF
SUCH A MOVE.
ATLANTA. July 18 (CNS).—The pos
sibility of diversion of any large portion
of the funds appropriated by the general
assembly to the state highway depart
ment to other purposes was discounted
as a likely solution of Georgia’s tangled
finances this week, when it appeared that
repudiation of existing contracts, with
holding of funds due counties on refund
ing certificates and tremendous losses in
depreciation of existing roads would be
the consequences of such a move.
Highway funds usually are anticipated
by contracts for five or six months, un
der present circumstances. If was reveal
ed. When the present board took office,
the funds were anticipated for eight
months, but this has been reduced 1 to the
present scale of five months, figures dis
closed.
While this anticipation has heen re
duced slightly by the refusal of the gov
ernor to approve any county grading con
tracts, return of prisoners to the state,
necessarily to be absorbed in part in high
way construction, will almost offset the
sum retained as a result of ending county
work.
By cancelling all existing contracts,
shutting down all maintenance operations
and withholding the money due next Ap
ril to the counties, about a million dol
lars a month could be seized from the
highway department, beginning next De
cember. However, that legislative approv
al could be obtained for such a plan is
extremely doubtful, and the stabilization
act. under which it might be possible to
proceed without direct legislation, expires
Dec. 31. 1939, by operation of law.
Other developments during the week
included :
1. Denial by state highway officials
that they had concurred in a rumored
plan to divide the department into three
autonomous bureaus.
2. Rumors that the state highway
hoard again will appeal to the governor
for authority to let county contracts for
grading with convict labor. Chairman W,
L. Miller is reported to feel that the con
victs, now being returned to the state in
"rce» numbers, will have to be absorbed
in highway construction and that dupli
cation of camps by the department, when
county camps already well equipped exist,
is uneconomical.
3. Return to the state penal board of
convicts by several counties, with an
nouncements by approximately thirty
counties that unless highway work is re
sumed by Aug. 1. 1939. they will return
their prisoners.
4. Announcement by officials of the
Citizens' Road League of Georgia of in
creasing interest, especially among mem
bers of the general assembly, in the seven
point ‘All-Georgia Plan’ of state financ
ing presented by Dr. R. J. Kennedy to
the Association of County Commissioners.
5. Rejection of diversion proposals and
recommendations for a sales tax by a
conference of school-board members and
school superintendents.

CORN DEMONSTRATION.
The Menlo chapter. Future Farmers of
America, has been and is at the present
conducting a demonstration concerning
the application of nitrate of soda on
corn. Most of the leading farmers agree
that the nitrogen plant food is usually
exhausted before the corn is grown if all
is placed under at planting time. Often
late applications of nitrate of soda de
lay maturity too much. Our experiment
stations advise us to apply available ni
trogen to corn about forty to forty-five
days after planting. We have applied
Chilean nitrate of soda to our corn test.
This test is located about one mile east
of Menlo on the Menlo-Summerville high
way on W. R. Chappelear's farm. At the
present time, the demonstration is under
normal farming conditions, and the re
sult of the soda is showing the people of
the community and those who notice the
test the proper time for side-dressing
their corn and the proper amounts to use.
The demonstration consists of two and
one-half acres. There are three plots: (1)
one acre on which 200 pounds was ap
plied; (2) one-half acres on which none
was applied, and (3) another acre with
! 200 pounds. We want our friends who
read this article to visit our demonstra
tion. ask questions about it, and estimate
what they think the yield will be from
each of the three plots. A few prize's,
worthy of your time, will be given to
those guessing nearest to the actual
yield. Watch our demonstration and prof
it accordingly.
