and All North Georgia Citizens
Welcome Arnall Here Friday
A Large Crowd Is Expected To Hear Georgia’s Next Governor
Discuss the Issues of the Gubernatorial Campaign At the Court
house Friday Afternoon at 5 O’clock. Don’t Fail To Hear Him!
You are cordially invited
to hear Ellis Arnall speak in
Summerville, Georgia, Fri
day, August 14th at five
o’clock in front of the court
house.
He will discuss many
phases of State politics and
many points of his platform.
However, following this is a
brife statement of the gen
eral principles in Mr. Ar
nall’s platform for Gover
nor. Keep it and refer to it in
order that you may know how
Arnall stands.
DESTROY DICTATORSHIP IN
GEORGIA—The main issue in
this campaign is efficient, honest
and democratic administration
.of public affairs, versus the high
handed, ruthless dictatorship
which the governor exercies
•over Georgians and Georgia’s
affairs.
Ours is a crusade to take away
from the governor— any gover
nor—the unreasonable and dan
gerous powers which he now
holds. Too long has Georgia’s
governor abused these powers.
They must be restored to the
people and their chosen repre
sentatives.
We cannot rid the world of
dictatorship so long as we per
mit dictatorship to flourish and
prosper in our own state govern
ment!
REDEEM OUR STATE’S REPU
TATION—Too long have Georgia,
her people and her reputation
suffered because of the kind of
state government we have been
getting. Too long has our state
been notorious for the wild, reck
less, disgraceful and dictatorial
acts of our governor which have
been splashed in big, black head
lines on the front pages of pa-

Mrs. Graves T. Myers
Graduates August 19
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga„ Aug. 12—
Among the candidates for gradu
ation at the second session of sum
mer school at Georgia State Col
lege for Women is Beatrice Thomas
Myers, of Summerville.
The exercises scheduled for Wed
nesday, August 19, wil be held in
Russell auditorium. Dr. Guy H.
Wells, president, will confer 64 de
grees.
Mrs. Myers is a candidate for a
B. S. degree in Education.
®he Sutiuncrlnllr xK'ctos
pers in every state of the Union.
We must end this farce. We
must restore decent government
and sane statesmanship to the
governor’s office, so that we may
wipe out the disreputable, dis
graceful memories of the past
few years and make Georgia, in
the eyes of our sister states,
again the “Empire State of the
South.”
FREE OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM
FROM POLITICAL CONTROL—
We must not permit political
interference to wreck our schools
and universities and to place
our children and our teachers
under persecution. We must re
store our universities to accred
ited standing. The State Board
oi Education and the State Board
of Regents should by constitu
tional provision be removed en
tirely from the governor’s influ
ence and dictation and allow
to function for the best good of
our children.
We must extend educational
facilities to every boy and girl,
establish a sound fiscal policy
for our schools, and preserve
separate schools for the white
and negro races.
SECURE PARITY PAY FOR
GEORGIA S TEACHER S—We
should pay our teachers on a
parity with general state em
ployees, ultimately allow them to
participate in a reasonable re
tirement system, and obtain for
them and our schools the ut
most >n available Federal aid.
COOPERATE WHOLEHEARTLY
WITH OUR NATIONAL GOV
ERNMENT—Our nation is at
war. This is no time for pig
headedness and prejudice and
“bucking” the federal govern
ment and our national leaders.
We need a governor who will
cooperate sincerely and earnestly
with Washington, who honestly
believes in democracy and proves
Dr. Altman Speaks
At First Baptist Church
The First Baptist Church re
joices to announce a seuies of
revival services to begin Sunday
August 16.
We are exceedingly fortunate to
have secured Dr. E. M. Altman, of
Uh w
dM
‘ DR. E. M. ALTMAN
’ the Grant Park Church of Atlan
i ta, for these services. Dr. Altman is
5 one of the foremost thinkers and
- pastor-evangelists of the Southern
- Baptist Convention. He has been
r honored with many responsible po
-3 sitions by the denomination and
1 has accomplished many great things
in the on-going of the kingdom of
God. He is the spiritual, exposi
tory-type preacher. We are also
to have the services of one of our
outstanding choir directors during
this series of services.
The morning service will begin
- at 10:30 (E. W. T.). The evening
- service will begin at 8:30 (E. W. T.).
We extend a most cordial invi-

the city and the general public to

a services.
[. In view of present world condi-

it, who admires devotedly our
Commander-in-chief, and will
pledge him Georgia’s unqualified
support in our war effort. I
propose to do just that.
ABOLISH PARDON RACKET—
This moneygrabbing, disgraceful
practice must be eliminated from
Georgia by taking away from the
governor the power to parole
and pardon, and giving this right
to a full-time, non-political,
specialized board.
TAKE POLITICS OUT OF STATE
PATROL—The State Patrol, in
stead of functioning as a spe
cial “Storm Trooper” organiza
tion for the governor, should
be interested in public safety
and the people’s welfare. I pro
pose to put it back on a non
political, efficient basis and
make it once again the pride of
our people.
STOP THE GOVERNOR’S SABO
TAGE OF WILD LIFE DEPART
MENT—We must set up a Wild
Life Commission composed of
farmers, hunters nad fishermen
who are genuinely interested in
the preservation of game and
fish and the development of our
material resources. We must ob
tain for Georgia the Federal
funds available but not now be
ing secured.
SET UP A NON-POLITICAL
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD—We
must secure a Highway Board
composed of patriotic, honest,
responsible Georgians with the
authority to build roads and to
cooperate fully with county of
ficials—a board anxious to serve
our local needs, instead of play
ing politics.
RESTORE BUDGET CONTROL
TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY—We
should take from the governor
the right to appropriate the tax
payers’ money and give that
right back to the General Assem
bly where it belongs; remove
PLANS BEING MADE
FOR SALVAGE DRIVE
Plans are now being made for
another drive in the rural sections
of the county to get us scrap iron,
rubber, greases and other salvage
at the proper place so that they
may be used for the making of
those war materials necessary in
winning this war.
Meetings will be held in the va
rious communities with the com
munity and victory volunteer read
ers, beginning next Monday, with
the idea of making a very definite
drive starting Monday week.

that the state gets full value for
every dollar spent.
PLEDGE NO NEW TAXES, NO

down with heavy taxes.
SET UP JUST ADMINISTRA
TION OF OLD AGE PENSION

and secure larger Federal grants
and pensions.
SECURE EVERY PENNY OF
FEDERAL FUNDS RIGHTFULLY
GEORGIA’S—We must bring an
end to stubborn tactics and bull
headed lack of cooperation with
Federal agencies, so that Geor
gia may obtain her rightful
share of Federal funds and ben
efits, defense projects, and Fed
eral aid.
GIVE COUNTY AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS A FAIR DEAL—
Our state government must deal
with county and n.unicipal gov
ernments fairly and justly and
with an understanding of their
problems.
EXTEND EVERY POSSIBLE AID
TO GEORGIA’S FARMERS—We
must never forget that the farm
er is the backbone of Georgia’s
economic system, and extend
every reasonable assistance and
cooperative effort to him and his
problems.
TREAT CAPITAL, LABOR, AND
INDUSTRY SQUARELY—We
should see that capital, labor
and industry are given a fair

effort to improve the condition
of our dependent children and to
aid our eleemosynary institu

which we are engaged serves
both to increase their problems
and to remind us of their ex

MAKE GEORGIA OUTSTAND
ING IN CIVILIAN DEFENSE—
We should expand the home
guard and see to it that Georgia
is in the forefront of war and
civilian defense activities.
DEMOCRACY vs. DICTATOR
SHIP—Remember that this is
the real issue of the campaign.
We must restore Georgia’s rep
utation by restoring dignity, de
cency and efficiency in our state
government. We must crush
“home-grown” dictators before
we can hope to defeat Hitler and
what he stands for.
This is a crusade to rid Geor
gia of tyranny and dictatorship.
It is the people’s fight. It is your
fight, and with your help, we

McWhorter Receives
Important Notice
The local War Price and Ration
ing Board No. 7-27-1, D. L. McWhor
ter, Chairman, has been informed
by C. B. Deßellevue, State Price
Executive of the Office of Price
Administration, that investigations
have disclosed the fact that in some
localities dealers have not complied
with OPA Regulations by filing
their Cost-of-Living Commodity
Statements, posting of ceiling prices
and making of base period records.
Says Mr. Deßellevue: “The Gen
eral Maximum Price Reguation
places a ceiling price on practically
every commodity that retail deal
ers sell. A dealer’s highest prices
as of March, 1942, are his ceiling
prices. A great number of items are
designated as Cost-of-Living Com
modities. A statement of the ceil
ing price of the Cost-of-Living
Commodities handled by the dealer
should have been filed with the
local War Price and Rationing
Board on or before July 1, and
the ceiling prices of these com
modities should have been properly
posted in the store. A base period
record of all commodities regulated
should have been made and kept
in the store. It is the responsibility
of dealers to learn the details and
comply with the Regulation. Fail
ure to do so subjects them to the
penalty of the law”,
