WAR CONDITIONS
MAKE IT NO LONGER
A MAN’S WORLD
Women placed in railroad po
sitions formerly held exclusive
ly by men. Preference given
dependents of members of arm
ed forces.
The Seaboard Railway, like other
essential war industries, is exper
iencing a shortage of skilled em
ployees in its ticket offices, by
reason of greatly increased pas
senger traffic, and has just com
pleted arrangements for the train
ing of attractive young women for
positions formerly held exclusive
ly by men for the duration of the
war. They will be paid while learn
ing, and trained as ticket sellers
and reservation clerks in the pas
senger department and for other
positions in the operating depart
ment.
Known as “learners”, the young
women selected will undergo a
thorough training course of not
exceeding six months in some of
the road’s principal ticket offices,
and in certain agencies under the
direction of the local supervisory
officials. After the first class “grad
uates”, additional onea may be
enrolled, dependent on the war pro
gram’s demands for male em
ployees. I
The opening of this field gives
patriotic young women an oppor
tunity to become actively associ
ated with the transportation ser
vice, which is so vital in the war
effort.
In the selection of applicants,
preference will be given to depen
dents of men in the armed forces.
GOVERNORTALMADGE
SPEAKS AT THOMASTON
Governor Talmadge will make
two major speeches next week,
in addition to his regular weekly
broadcast Friday night over WSB
from Atlanta. ,
The Georgia Governor, cam
paigning for re-election, will speak
vveanesday, August 5, at Greens
boro, and Saturday, August 8, at
Thomaston. Each program will be
from 3:30 to 5 o’clock in the after
noon.
The political picture in Georgia
experienced a change of perspec
tive last week when Columbus
Roberts, former Agricultural Com
missioner and one time opponent
of Governor Talmadge, in a radio I
address pledged his support to Tai-1
madge and invited his friends to
join him. Mr. Roberts said he has
weighed the candidates and has
decided that Governor Talmadge,
with his experience and record of
efficient government, is needed in
Georgia now more than ever.
Another bombshell to the Tal
madge opposition came during the
week when the Hon. T. J. Shackel
ford, noted Athens attorney and
friend of the University of Georgia,
declared in a radio speech over
WSB that Governor Talmadge was
right in ridding the University of
Walter D. Cocking. Said Mr. Shac
kelford: “Cocking was as guilty as
Satan.”

(Plans Uuder Way
To Tag Every Child
Speedy action will be taken by a
committee headed by State School
Superintendent M. D. Collins to
register and tag every child in
Georgia 18 years of age and under
for identification in the event of
an air raid or other war emergency.
, Dr. Collins announced that Gov
ernor Talmadge will proclaim a
special time for the registration as
soon as preliminary details can be
completed. The executive commit
tee is composed of the following: I
Dr. Collins, Chairman; Mrs. R. A.
Long, president of the Georgia Con- j
gress of the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation and Mrs. Charles D. Cen
ter, former president; Mrs. Al
bert Hill, director of the children’s
division of the State Department
of Public Welfare; Colonel Richard

for the Citizens Delense Commit
tee; Mrs. Myrick, of Savannah,
head of the women’s division of
Civilian Defense; Dr. T. F. Aber
combie, director of the State De
partment of Public Health, and
Major John E. Goodwin, director ol

SAVE WASTEFAtr
TO MAKE EXPLOSIVES
Everybody is wanting an oppor
tunity to aid in a total war effort
and now is the time when all oi
you can be of great help, says Miss
Nell Parish, Extension Economist
We must save all of the waste
fats for glycerine and gunpowder
We realize that the amount of fat
that can be collected in this man
ner will not answer all the need;
for it but it wall be a great help.
THE NEED IS URGENT—War in
in the Pacific has greatly reducer
our supply of vegetable fats fron
the Far East. It is necessary tc
find substitutes for them. More
over, fats make glycerine. And glv
cerine makes explosives for us and
our allies—explosives to down Axis
planes, stop their tanks, help sup
ply them.
DON’T throw away a single drop
of used cooking fat —bacon grease,
meat drippings, frying fats —every
t kind you use. After you’ve got all
the cooking good from them, pour
them through a kitchen strainer
into a clean, wide-mouthed can.
Keep in a cool, dark place. Please
don’t use glass containers or paper
bags.
j TAKE THEM to your meat dealer
when you’ve saved a pound or
I more. He is cooperating patrioti
-1 cally. He will pay you for your
waste fats and get them started on
their way to the war industries. It
will help him if you can deliver
your fats early in the week.

Enthusiasm Reigns
At Arnall Speeches
In South Georgia
Full schedule is arranged for
next week's tour.
Throngs of enthusiastic support
ers qpntinued to flock around the
speaker’s platform at every appear
ince of Ellis Arnall, candidate for
Governor, on a speaking tour which
swept through South Georgia last
week. The trip was climaxed by a
jig rally Saturday at Statesboro,
which was arranged by Bulloch
County friends of Mr. Arnall.
At every point visited by Mr.
Arnall, he was assured of an over
whelming victory by prominent po
litical leaders throughout that en
tire section. Many motorcades were
arranged to attend his speeches
from neighboring communities.
Mr. Arnall devoted a considerable
portion of each address to “de
bunking” the Talmadge “economy”
claims, and pointed out that the
present administration had col
lected from the taxpayers huge
amounts of money that exceeded,
by far, any sum ever collected by
a previous incumbent of the Gov
ernor’s office.
: 'No other administration in the
history of State government can
compare with the one we now have
for down-right extravagance and
inefficiency in every department,”
declared Mr. Arnall.
Mr. Arnall reiterated his pledge
for economy in government and
the restoration of the State govern
ment to its rightful heirs, the peo
ple of the state.
Arrangements have been com-1
pleted for another sweep of the I
state by Mr. Arnall this week. Mon-.
day he spoke at Jackson and Gray;
Tuesday at Eatonton and Sander
ville, and Wednesday at Sparta
and Thomson. Thursday he will
visit Madison and Athens; Friday,
Dahlonega and Cumming, and Sat
urday, Calhoun and Jasper.

Hunting Licenses
Now On Sale
For Season of ’42-’43
Hunting licenses for the 1942-’43
season have been placed on sale
and cost the same as those for
the past season which ended July
31, Wildlife Director Zack D. Cra
vey announced.
He said also that squirrel season
has opened in the following North
Georgia counties: Catoosa, Chat
tooga, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Gil
mer, Gordon, Hambersham, Lump
kin, Murry, Pickens, Rabun, Steph
ens, Towns, Union, Walker, White
and Whitfield. The season will re
main open in that section until
December 31 and will run from
November 1 to January 15 in 18
South Georgia Counties, and from
October 1 to January 15 everywhere
else in the state.
However, the Director said he is
not in favor of such an early open
ing on squirrels as the North Geor
gia counties have since many
young ones will perish if their par
ents are killed now. Moveover, he
said squirrel are not good to eat at
this time.
Rabbit and fox hunting also are
legal now and hunters who go after
any quarry must obtain a new li
cense. Director Cravey said he does
not favor hunting (.rabbits with j
guns now either and that if he)
were authorized, would put the i
bars down on them until October
or November.
The cost of licenses follows: resi- ;
dent, county, $1; resident, state-,
I wide, $3.25; non-resident, county
$5; and non-resident, state-wide,
$12.50.

Suggestions Given
For Removing Stains
Fresh fruits to eat are one of the
I pleasures of summertime, but they
often leave marks on table linen
and clothes—marks that become
ugly stains unless they are treated
promptly and correctly.
As part of our wartime campaign
to conserve fabrics, Miss Nell Par
ish, home demonstratipii agent,
this week gave some tips from
home economists, on how to re
move fruit stains from cottons and
linens.
“Start working on stains while
they are still fresh nad damp, if
possible,” the agent explained, “in
any case, remove them before you
launder the fabric. Alkalis, such
as in soap, and heat from the iron
‘set’ some fruit and berry stains,
making them difficult and some
times even impossible to get out.
“Boiling water will remove most
fruit stains from white or color
fast cottons or linens. Stratch the
stained cloth over a bowl, and fast
en with a string so it cannot slip
off. Then pour on the water from a
height of 3 or 4 feet. If necessary,
rub the fabric between applica
tions of boiling water, to help
loosen the stain.
“If the stain is not completely
gone when you have finished the
water treatment, put a little lemon
juice on the spot and put in the
sun to bleach.
“To remove stains from fresh
peaches, pears, and plums, use cold
water and glycerine. First, sponge
the stain well with cool water.
Then put several drops of gly
cerine, or a soapless shampoo, on
the stain—enough to cover it. Work
in by rubbing the fabric between
your hands. Let it stand for several
hours, then put on a few drops of
vinegar or oxalic acid. Allow it to
remain for a minute or two, and
then rinse well in water,” Miss
Parish concluded.
ILLEGAL HUNTERS
OF BOVES WARNED
From the Wildlife Division comes
a reminder that the season on
doves is closed nad that “out-of
season” hunting is a State as well
as a Federal violation.
State Wildlife Director Zack D.
Cravey said Rangers have caught
a number of violators and that
cases are pending now. The sea
son on this game bird does not
open until December 1.
Since the dove is a migratory
bird, it comes under both Federal
and State protection and for that
reason, the violator is subject to
prosecution by either or both
agencies.
Direcor Cravey said, however,
that there is no closed season “at
any time on crows”. Instead, he
said he is urging hunters to “kill
all the crows they can as these birds
are big destroyers of crops, young
quail and wild turkey.”
Hardly anything furnishes a
better target than the crow be
cause he is a crafty, as well as
swift, bird, and it takes a good shot
to get him,” he declared. “The
crow furnishes good practice, es
pecialy in months when the bars
are down on game birds.”
He declared that he is receiving
numerous appeals from hunters
I who say crows are destroying mel
ons, peaches, vegetables, corn and
1 other crops. At present, he said
j the Division is working out details
1 for a state-wide campaign against
) the crow.
Fair Association
Meets Next Week
| For several weeks there has been
1 considerable discussion as to
whether or not we will hold a Fair
;in the County this year. There
i seems to be some encouragement
towards having a Fair and some
discouragement.
We are planning a meeting at the
Courthouse in the very near future,
probably next week, for the pur
pose of discussing and making fi-j
nal plans in regard to whether or
not we have a fair; if we should
have one the election of officers
and directors for the Association
for this year.
As president of the Fair Asso-
I elation for the past two or three
years, I wish to encourage the at
tendance of every merchant, bus
i inessman, farmer or any others
I interested in the fair to attend this
meeting and help dec’de this very
important question. Watch next
CHATTOOGA COUNTY
GIVEN RECOGNITION
BY 808 BURLINGAME
Robert Rurlingame Says
"More Ronds Are Needed”
Over WHO Central Broadcast
ing Company, Des Moines, lowa,
; the latest news is given nightly by
1 News Commentator Bob Burlin
game at 11:15 to 11:45 o’clock, 1040
1 on your dial. No doubt you are ac
quainted with Robert, either by
listening to his Newscasts or by
reading this paper in which we
have expressed our appreciation
several times for the nice things
he has said about Summerville and
Chattooga county, regarding our
participation in the scrap rubber
collection campaign. But, those
of you who missed listening in
Friday, July 31st, really missed
something worthwhile. This Com
mentator deliberated comments
for at least three minutes in ap
preciation of the two $25.00 De
’ense Bonds which we purchased
from him and the bushel of Hale
peaches that we sent to the WHO
personnel. He also spoke highly of
our civic achievements and our
unhesitated cooperation in nation
al movements.
Now it is our time to do some
thing for Bob, and we can do it
without any additional effort on
our part whatsoever, as we are al
ready making regular payments
'or VICTORY. Bob is competing
with another member of the WHO
personnel in a Defense Bond Sell
ing Contest. Either of the two con
testants would like to win, al
■ hough the purpose of the rivalry
>s to sell more Defense Bonds. Bob
is our friend and is deserving of
our unanimous support for his vic
tory in the Bond Selling Contest
which helps in an Allied Victory
or all. Bob’s Night Owls at the
present time are in the red but
nevertheless are working courage
ously.
We have chosen three campaign
days: Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, of this wee’’, for sons- *’ng
Bond subscriptions to be forwarded
o the Night Owls, all in one en
velope for announcement over
AGIO Monday or Tuesday of next
week. Our aim is to flood Bob’s
newscast with Defense Bond orders
and if you care to join us in voting
with Defense Bonds for Bob’s Night
Owls. Mr. Walter C. Sturdivant,
Committee Chairman is asking that
you immediately place your suo
scription in an envelope and get
it to H. M. Woods, County Chair
man, through receving offices,
either the office of T. J. Espy, Jr.,
Industrial Credit Company, The
Summerville News Office, or you
may hand it to any other member
of the Summerville-Trion Rotary
Club or Summerville Lions Club.
Bob announced over the radio
Thursday, July 30th that all Bonds
purchased from his gang would be
credited respectively to your pledge
5 n the comunity in which you live,
whether in Summerville, Georgia or
elsewhere. If you purchase a Bond
and had rather not have your
name revealed over the air, please
advise to that effect or otherwise it
will be announced by News Com
mentator Robert (Bob) Burlin
game over station WHO, Des
Moines, lowa, either Monday or
Tuesday of next week at the regu
lar evening newscast at 11:15 to
11:45 o’clock, 1040 on your dial.
Everyone is urged to buy a Bond
this week, regardless from whom
you buy it, but we hope you will
give us your subscription for a
nice size Bond. The Bond will be
filled in exactly as your name is
given to us and will be returned to
ou. They will be your property,—
ve are only soliciting your sub
scription. No one will annoy you
with a pressing appeal. Remember
it is either Volunteer Bond Sub
scriptions or imposed taxation as a
tremendous amount of money must
be raised for Uncle Sam by some
means.
