NEWSPAPER ADS GET CANDIDATE’S OKAY Two candidates this week declared their sympathy with a resolution passed by Georgia editors that it is considered an “unfriendly” gesture toward newspapers to use other advertising media and send requests for “free publicity” to the news papers. Attorney-General Ellis Arnall, who has declared himself for re-eleetion to his present office, and Agricultural Commis sioner Columbus Roberts, who has an nounced his candidacy for governor, both stated they were in full accord with the resolution. Commissioner Roberts declared in n letter to Hon. Roy McGinty, presides! of the Georgia Press association, “It is my purpose to place ads in the newspapers during my campaign for governor, as I believe that this will enable me to reach a majority of the voters.” Attorney-General Arnall stated : “I be lieve the newspapers, as they are read and re-read in the homes of Georgia cit* zens, furnish an ideal means for the can didate to tell his full and complete mes sage to the people in a manner which will enable them to meet issues fairly and without resort to prejudice. I certainly in tend that the lion’s share of my available campaign funds go to the press for paid political advertising.” The News has this week endorsed the resolution of the Georgia Press associa tion, as follows: “We join with all Geor gia newspapers in considering it an un friendly act on the part of candidates for public office in Georgia to use other paid advertising media to the exclusion of newspapers, and at the same time to re quest free publicity from newspapers.” BIRTHDAY PARTY.

These girls are members of the Pipeline Construction To Lower Gasoline Prices Construction of a pipeline through Georgia from Port St. Joe, Fla., to Chat tanooga., Tenn., to serve the oil industry will result in lower prices for gasoline and in more efficient service to the pub lic, officials, of the Southeastern Pipeline company claim. The new pipeline will not affect the railroads to any considerable extent. Of ficials of the eonupany pointed out that the oil companies owned almost all of the nation's 160,000 tank cars, and that it was unthinkable that -they would aban don such an investment. “Two mis-statements have been made quite frequetnly by those who are distrib uting propaganda against construction <>■ the pipeline,” stated A. Stere Clay, presi dent of the company, a Georgia enter prise. “One is that it will take gasoline trade away from Savannah, our Georgia port The other is that the pipeline con stitutes a fire and explosion hazard. Both statements are wholly false and ridic ulous. “As to the first, there are many oil companies operating through Savannah that do not operate in the pipeline terri tory at all. Indeed, the bulk of Savannah petroleum receipts go into other areas altogether. “As to the second, the stories that the pipeline causes fires and that explosions are frequent is wholly fantasy. There is no way in which a pipe conveying gaso line could cause a fire, because you can not have a fire without air. Carburetors are placed on automobiles in order to pro duce an explosive mixture. Since there Will be no air in this pipeline, it will be chemically impossible to have an explo sion. "There has never been an explosion in a gasoline pipeline. Indeed, natural gas is far more explosive, and no such mishap has occurred on the pipelines serving this product in Georgia. These fantastic as sertions were not made when construc- PRE EASTER REVIVAL AT PRESBYTERIAN The days of March are busy days in our church year as it is the closing month of the church year and, therefore, the time for the Every-Member canvass.

BLOOD HOUNDS RUN DOWN DYNAMITERS PEARSON, Ga., March 5. —The blood hounds of Sheriff Tom Whigham are re ceiving the praises of sportsmen and wild life conservationists in this section. Whigham’s dogs trailed two alleged vi olators, accused of dynamiting the old Guess Mill Pond near here, and led their master to a double-arrest. Two hours after the explosion Whig hum and his dogs had taken into custody Cliff Delk and Paul Tyre. The pond had been dynamited in an effort to break the dam and permit the fish to escape into a trap that would have made capture mere ly a job of picking them up.

They are the most efficient and economi cal method of transporting this product. Under present conditions, with the aver age per capita consumption of petroleum in the United States standing at nine bar rels, it is necessary for the oil industry to use every available means of transporta tion to the demand and reduce the price to the public. The average American family uses 1,- 700 gallons of oil >a year, the greatest consumption in the world. To keep the autos of the country moving, the oil in dustry employs 1,006,052 people, accord ing to 1937 figures. To transport the products, the oil industry itself owns 150,000 tank ears, 400 tank ships. 1,500 barges and other vessels and 97,000 miles of pipeline. It requires all these facilities to meet America's demand for the prod uct. If Georgia is hostile to the construc tion of pipelines, it can never hope for a test of its oil possibilities it was stressed by oil engineers. “There are indications that Georgia may contain oil fields, but no tests have yet been made,” said B. W. Winters, head of the company’s engineering staff. “If landowners take the stand that they do not want pipelines in this state, they can not expect the oil producers to come into Georgia and spend thousands and even millions of dollars in finding out whether there are oil producing localities. “Actually, of course. Georgians wel come the new, more efficient and economi cal method of handling oil products and want the lower gasoline prides that will follow. Georgia doesn’t want to be behind other states in developing more stream lined ond efficient methods of transpor tation.” • W. M. S, OBSERVES WEEK OF PRAYER The W. M. S. of the First Baptist church will hold a day of prayer and praise Friday, March 8, for t'he observa tion of the Annie W. Armstrong offering for home missions.

NEWS FOR THE HOME-MAKER (By Mildred Henry, County Home Dem onstration Agent.) HOME GARDENS GOR GEORGIA FAMILIES. Surplus vegetables from home gardens helped to bring the total products canned or otherwise preserved by Georgia farm families following extension service recom mendations to more than one million dol lars during 1939. In planning the home garden for this year, the fact might be kept in mind that the garden can be made more than a con venience to the home-maker. It can be made a source of fresh vegetables and also food's for Canning, storage, drying and for freezer,locker storage, requiring no cash outlay. A number of things will go to deter mine the size of the garden and the kinds of foods to be planted. Where the longer growing seasons permit a succession of crops, smaller gardens may be planted than where larger canned and stored sup plies are necessary ito round out the year’s food supply. The number of persons in the family and their likes and dislikes will determine whether a garden should be large or small. Tables have been worked out giving the pounds or bushels of each big division of vegetables—potatoes, beans, leafy greens, tomatoes, and others—needed for each person or for a Balmily of five. This and other information which will help the family to do the necessary figuring and to draw plans for the garden is included in extension service publications. They are circular No. 280, "Hints for Georgia Gardeners,” circular No. 278, “Fruits for Home Orchards,” and mimeo graphed material relating to home gar dening work, and may be secured at the home demonstration agent's office or by writing directly to the agricultural ex tension service in Athens. Other (points to consider in beginning the garden work are: Plan to grow-one or more vegetables not ordinarily grown, such as asparagus, broccoli, table varieties of soybeans, leeks, and savory herbs. Remember the green vegetables which will grow quickly in the early season — such as lettuce, endive, Chinese cabbage, spinach, and other salad plants, radishes for color and crisp texture, delicate young onions, and plan bo plant plenty of to matoes. Include in the garden some of the small fruits —berries and grapes particularly. Fruit trees take several years to come into bearing, but the vegetable garden needs to be supplemented by a fruit garden. It is a good plan, therefore, to set out a few fruit trees for the future and until they have reached bearing stage, make use of strawberries and other small fruits which can be planted with little expense and come into bearing quickly. This year as an incentive to Georgia farm families for more and lietter year round gardens, in co-operation with the AAA programi payment of $1.50 per gar den may be received under the following provisions, 1. There must be at least one-fourth acre (excluding sweet potatoes) of garden for each family on the farm. 2. The garden (excluding potatoes) shall be planted in one piece of ground and must be devoted to vegetables thru out the year. A minimum of ten different vegetables must lie produced. Roasting ear corn, crowder or field peas, tomatoes and sweet potato, even though grown out side the garden plot, may be included in the ten different vegetables required. Two or more families on the same farm may combine their gardens into a common area and receive payment for one garden. Suggested basic vegetables include sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, collards, turnip greens, rutabagas, snapbeans, turnips, crowder or field peas, lima beans, cab bage, tomatoes, onions, okra, radishes, carrots and lettuce. 3. Soil must be prepared properly and fertilized and must be kept reasonably cultivated for average production thruout the year. 4. An effort must be made to control diseases and insects. 5. Adequate protection from live stock must be provided, however, no fencing is required. OFFERS BRAINS FOR $20,000.

STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL HAPPENINGS. NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT STATE EVENTS (By Gilreath Press Syndicate.) ATLANTA, March 6. —How much money has Unele >Sam turned loose in Georgia since the federal spending pro gram liegan in 1933? That’s a question that has been asked many times over and one that nearly everybody would like an swered. Here's the answer: $755,466,809. Os the total, $497,268,309 was in non repayable federal grants, payments and expenditures, and $258,198,500 was in repayable loans. The figures are from the various federal agencies operating in Georgia and cover the period from the beginning of the program in 1933 through the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, ac cording to Francis Shurling, state direc tor of the office of government reports. Broken down by years the non-repay able grants, etc., and repayable loans, re spectively, are : 1933 —$23,013,204 and $14,530,763; 1934—575,685,202 and $61,- 005,400; 1935—580,612,326 and $69,302,- 857; 1936—582,175,278 and $16,309,127; 1937—570,532,807 and $17,009,977; 1938 —559,863,659 and $35,326,612; 1939 $105,385,833 and $44,713,764. The 1939 figure, as can be seen by the comparison, represents the largest yearly allotment to this state since the New Deal program began. Largest expenditure by a single federal agency in Georgia dur ing the last fiscal year was the agricultur al adjustment administration which spent $31,884,695. The works projects adminis tration expended $30,146,837. More than $47,000,000 was used by seven agencies on construction or improvements of pub lic property in the state, of which about $4,000,000 is represented in loans by the REA. QUOTING LINCOLN : The recent ob servance of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday prompted the Association of American Railroads to bring back a statement once made by the great president of the United States. It was: “No other improvement that reason can justify us in hoping for, can equal in utility the railroads . . . Upon the railroad, the regular progress of commercial intercourse is not interrupted by either high or low water, or freezing weather, which are the principal difficul ties that render future hopes of water communication precarious and uncertain.” GIST OF THE NEWS: Georgians are eating more Georgia-grown pork, accord ing to reports.
