WE DO NOT COMPLAIN
note the cooperation given the ‘con
serve electricity’ program. The peo
ple, the cities and towns, and the
states have all joined patriotically
in this voluntary ‘black-out’.
Indeed, it does look like a “black
out” in the cities and towns of this
section. The stores have turned
out their neon and display lights;
street lighting has been reduced to
a minimum; air conditioning and
other electrical systems have been
drastically reduced; every conceiva
ble method is being employed to
cuurtail power consumption.
While it may not be as comfort
able and convenient with these re
ductions, we do not compplain, for
we realize how fortunate we are
that these “blackouts” do not mean
violent bombings and incessant
ductions, we do not complain, for
we know that this reduction of elec
tric power is aiding in the building
of a defense that no nation on
earth can equal; we know, too, that
if this defense is delayed these
“blackouts” may become the real
thing.
No, we shall not complain, for in
this darkness we are guided by a
light a million times greater than
all the lights in the world—THE
CANDLE OF FREEDOM which
shines so brightly in this land of
ours and which shall always be
there to guide us.
Though the lights are out, The
Candle of Freedom Shines Brightly.

STATE DEFENSE
CORPS NEWS
Captain Bernard Franklin, of
Calhoun, advises that the Cal
houn Armory may be used by
the State Defense Corps.
Captain Franklin, while Cap
tain and Company Commander ■
in the Georgia National Guard,
built this armory. There is a ]
drill floor, 75 x 100 feet, with no
pillars or posts.
On either side of this, there
are two wings 18x100 feet. These (
wings contain a strong room for
arms and ammunition, showers, j
locker room, offices and kitchen.
The building is brick and steel
throughout, with the exception !
of the roof, and it is doubtful if j
any other district in Georgia has [
access to as fine an armory.
Captain Franklin is the new !
Commanding officer of Gordon ■
county, of the 27th district of
the State Defense Corps.
The Cartersville Unit of the
State Defense Corps, under Lieut.
Regers and Captain Jones, Coun
ty Commander, and through the
interest of Mr. R. L. West and
Mr. Roy Jones, of Atco, have
built a cracker-jack indoor rifle
range, four firing positions.
They have also been furnished
four Model 69 Winchester rifles
by the city and county.
Captain Jones sends in regular
reports of firing. R. L. West,
one of the*'best shots in the I
state, shot 20 straight consecu
tive bull’s-eyes last Thursday,
this being what is known as a
“possible.”
Captain Jones, firing the new
69, made highest score made with
these lighter, but very fine, lit
tle guns.
Captain Jones says:
“We now have for use our
I unit four of the late model Win
! Chester 69 which we are starting
to use, besides an additional one
that I have purchased for myself,
that I am equipping with Lyman
57E sight. The other four have
the regular sights with post front
sight.
“I have located an outdoor
range with 300 yards, and Mr.
Joe Brown, of the C. C. Camp
