Georgia Legionnaires
Work Night and Day
To Pass State Quota
“Georgia Legionnaires will be
working night and day in their ef
forts to pass the state quota in bond
sales by the end of November,” Mr.
Dick said. “We still have a long way
to go, and we must work harder
than ever in order to bring in the
sales this week.”
On the basis of the official re
port of county standings through
Nov. 15 issued by the Atlanta Fed
eral Reserve Bank, Harris county
led all others in the state in per
centage of quota. The county’s
quota was $15,860 and actual sales
cleared through the Federal Re
serve during the first 15 days of
the month amounted to $34,712.50,
or 218.9 per cent of the quota.
Nathan J. Thompson is Harris
county war bond chairman.
Thousands of Georgians are tak
ing great pride in buying bonds
during “American Legion Month”
and dedicating them to sons or rel
atives now in the service, according
to C. Arthur Cheatham, deputy
war savings administrator. He
said that many citizens are con
verting their war stamps into
bonds, thus helping to swell the
issuance of bonds in November and
also helping themselves by the in
terest they will begin to receive on
bonds thus converted from stamps.
“I am confident that, with extra
co-operation this week, Georgia’s
bond sales for November will go be
yond the total figure established in
any previous month. The Legion
naires appear to be sponsoring their
campaign in the ‘We did it before
and we can do it again’ spirit, and
we cannot afford to let them
down,” Mr. Cheatham concluded.
The Georgia department of the
American Legion is the first in the
country to take over active spon
sorship of war bond sales for a
specific month. Legion officials in
other states, as well as the U. S.
treasury department, are follow
ing the progress of the Georgia
drive with considerable interest,
Mr. Dick pointed out.
FARMERS CAN HELP IN
“SHARE-THE-MEAT" DRIVE
Farmers in this county can help
the nation conserve its meat sup
plies by taking part themselves in
the government’s “Share - the -
Meat” campaign, according to
County Agent O. P. Dawson.
Those who butcher meat for
home use, and those who buy from
farmers for storage in freezer lock
ers are both to participate in the
2 1-2 pound per adult weekly share
allowance.
The “Share-the-Meat” program
was recommended by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, as
chairman of the food requirements
committee of the War Production
Board. Meat can still be butchered
for sale locally by farmers, but
families buying such meat are ex
pected to stay within the 2 1-2
pound allowance.
The program affects all beef,
pork, veal, lamb and mutton
whether slaughtered on the farm
commercially.
In commenting on the program
Agent Dawson said, “Your govern
ment wants every pound of meat
you produce over and above your
share to go to market to help feed
our boys in the service, our allies
and the people of this country who i
need meat but don’t purchase it. :
“Our boys in the service and our :
allies on the front must be fed
first. All you hold back above your
share means that much less for <
our city brothers, because our boys j
in service and our allies are going
to be fed regardless.” <
Neighborhood and block leaders i
are now being given the required :
information concerning this cam- 1
paign. The Victory Volunteers will 1
contact each family in the county c
during the week of Nov. 30-Dec. 5 i

r two of 21 boys who this week left
r this Marietta war production train
. ing project of the National Youth
Administration to accept war jobs
j in shipyards at Mobile, Ala. These
j youths got their jobs as a direct
j result of the practical experience
and training received at this NYA
project.
Like hundreds of boys and girls
who have gone out before them,
' this group will help send down the
' ways the Liberty ships which will
sink the axis. Other boys and girls
trained at this NYA center are now
in aircraft plants, munitions con
cerns, in radio work, in precision
instrument plants, naval bases, ma
chine shops and countless other
key war industries.
Ernest P. Kimbell and Oscar W.
Bennett received their experience
in the welding shop, where they
helped do production work for -the
armed services. They also devel
oped sound work habits and be
came “shop-broken” enough for in

Service Men May Use
Resident Game License
Men in service, regardless of
' from where they hail, are permit
ted to use resident Georgia hunt
’ ing and fishing licenses and the
; Wildlife Division is urging sports
men to take them on outings.
By special legislation enacted at
! the last general assembly, a serv
! ice man located in Georgia can
“enjoy our hunting and fishing ad
’ vantages at considerable savings
; over other out-of-state sportsmen,”
, declared Wildlife Director Zack D.
Cravey.
Actually, it means that a service
man can buy a statewide resident
hunting license for $3.25, instead of
having to pay $12.50 as other non
residents do. If the service man
hunts only in the county in which
he is located, he can make use of
a county resident license which
costs him only sl, instead of pur
chasing a county non-resident li
cense for $5.
A fishing license for the full sea
son will cost an out-of-state serv
ice man $1.25, but other non-resi
dent fishermen must pay $5.25 for
an annual license.
The director said he had received
numerous inquiries, especially since
the hunting season opened, from
various camps, individuals, as well
as from the WBI, about licenses.
He said, however, that unless
Georgia sportsmen are “hospitable
about taking service men out fish
ing and hunting many of them
won’t have the opportunity to go.”
“Let’s show real Georgia hos
pitality by remembering these boys
who are stationed in our state,” he
said.

The Alcoholic Problem
Os Chattooga County
To the Voters of Chattooga County:
Just a few facts concerning the
alcohol problems of our county and
our nation. These are to prove to
you the harmfulness of drink.
It does not only wreck and ruin
the tissues of a body but destroys
the soul and sends it to an eternal
devil’s hell.
Our nation’s drink bill for one
year totaled nearly 4 billion dol
lars, an average of $25 per person,
man, woman, boy and girl. Our
crime bill was sixteen billion dol
lars for one year. 90 per cent of
this crime was due to the users of
■alcohol. It not only causes an in
crease in crime, it causes 75 per
cent of broken homes. I can take
you to some homes today where
money has been taken from wife
and little children and spent for
alcoholic beverages. Who is re
sponsible for this? Everyone who
voted for the return of alcoholic
beverages to our nation.
Alcohol not only breaks up home
| life, but 55 per cent of the people
i in our insane institutions are there
because of alcoholic beverage. It is
estimated that 60 per cent of all
accidents that occur today are due
to drunken drivers.
For the past seven years there
has been eighty-four persons killed
daily by drunken drivers.
A survey made by Allied Youth in
October. 1940, of 15,000 senior high
school students that 43 out of each
-ou say they now drink to some
extent, 55 per cent of the boys, 37
per cent of the girls. There are
420,000 places in the United States
licensed to sell strong drink —or
about 2 for every church and about
5 for every 13 schools. The United
States spends $3 for liquor for ev
ery $2 on education.
The greatest cost of liquor is not
in dollars and cents. On the in
dividual’s liquor bill we find the
loss of some priceless things, hon
or, purity, good influence, health,
unselfishness, working efficiency,
position and often loss of life it
self.
Then we say that we cannot do
without the taxes that come from
alcohol. Liquor advertisements
never mention the fact that their
product cost the state many times
the amount of taxes they pay. They
picture to you a beautiful outward
appearance, but fail to mention the
harmfulness therein. “Don’t fear
' the one who can destroy the body
but rather fear him which can de
stroy both soul and body.”
We have brought to you some of
the evils of alcohol. God help us
to stand on his promises and go to
the polls on the sth day of Decem
ber and vote this damnable evil out
of our county and nation which is
wrecking and ruining the lives of
our young men and women of to
day.

Answer These Questions—Yes or No
Then Make Up Your Own Mind
1 ; Do people who now use alcoholic beverages stop if
their counties banned legal sale? Q Yes. □ No.
If your answer is No: would bootleggers begin to
operate in these counties? □ Yes. □ No.
2: Is illegal sale, by bootleggers, better than legal
sale by respectable, regulated dealers?
□ Yes. □ No.
3; Has Prohibition ever been a success, either local
ly or nationally? D Yes. □ No.
4; Since national Prohibition failed dismally—with
all the resources of the government behind its
enforcement —is it possible to enforce local pro
hibition today against drinking? □ Yes. □ No.
5; Bootleggers pay no taxes, and futile enforcement
efforts cost money. Can we afford to substitute
this loss for legal beer that pays its way in taxes?
□ Yes. □ No.
6: Isn’t it better to control the sale of moderate bev
erages in legally operated places which can be
inspected by law enforcement officers at any time,
as against bootleg places which cannot be in
spected legally without a search warrant based
on sworn evidence of law violations?
□ Yes. □ No.
