Farm Bureau Holds
Regular Monthly Meet
Courthouse Saturday
The Chattooga County Bu
reau held its regular monthly meet
ing last Saturday in the courthouse.
' Will Storey, Elmer Morrison, W.
S. Speer and J. B. Butler, the dele
gates that attended the State Farm
Bureau meeting week before last in
Macon, talked about the meeting
, and different talks that was made
by different speakers.
Mr. Storey was very enthused
about what the Farm Bureau is do
ing for the farmers, and wished
that every farmer in Chattooga
county could have been at the meet
ing in Macon, and heard the talks
that was made by Gov. Arnall, Sec
retary of Agriculture Clinton An
derson, Congressman John S. Gib
son and H. L. Wingate, our State
Farm Bureau president. He said if
the farmers could only realize the
work being done by the Farm Bu
reau to help us farmers have a de
cent standard of living, by getting
prices that we deserve’for our farm
products, that they would come and
join the Farm Bureau, and be glad
to have the privilege of joining to
gether with other farmers all over
the United States and fight for our
due rights.
It is not a question of farmers
never organizing and standing to
gether any more. They have already
organized to a number of more than
a million members in the United
States. We will have 20 per cent
of the farmers here in Chattooga
county by Friday of this week.
The membership for the state will
be more than thirty-five thousand
by Friday of this week. A member
ship of this size will be listened to
by our state government and legis
lature, and the farmers will not
have to be treated like a “red-head
ed stepchild” any more, as Con
gressman Gibson put it.
If you want to join in the fight
to better mine, yours and your
neighbors and other fellow-farm
ers’ standard of living, come in at
once and join the fight for what
we deserve.
Mr. Storey told at the meeting
Saturday of the discussion that
eame up during the state meeting
about the salaries of the school
teacher. The pay that our school
teachers get for the work they do
* is not as much as most common
laborers get. Our school teachers
have spent lots of time and money
in fitting themselves to be capable
of teaching and training our young
people. A teacher has lots of re
sponsibility and a big job, yet they
are paid less than most common
laborers.
The rural children get the tail
end of this deal, too. Most large
towns and cities are able to pay
their school teachers more and are
able to get better teachers, because
they have more tax money.
A committee that discussed the
school situation at the State Farm
Bureau meeting in Macon will have
some recommendations to carry be
fore the general assembly in Janu
ary.
It was decided at the meeting last
Saturday that we change our regu
lar monthly meeting to quarterly
meetings. That is, meet once every
three months instead of every
month. To do this we could have
better meetings, because we will
have plenty of time to plan our
meetings and have a program that
will be worth the farmers' time to
come out.
Will Storey was elected director
of the Seventh District Farm Bu
reau while he was in Macon. He
is very anxious to get a large Farm
Bureau membership here in Chat
tooga county, so as to do a better
job in organizing some of our neigh
bor counties. So let us help him
with our neighbors and other fel
low-farmers by coming in and join
ing the Farm Bureau.

Summerville Has
A Building Boom
Summerville has a big building
boom, despite the high prices and
scarcity of building materials.
New homes and business houses
are springing up almost like magic
in every direction, and good sub
stantial buildings are being erected.
In the new Sturdivant-Powell-
Taylor addition west of town, some
four or five nice homes are nearing
completion and several others are
to be built in the near future. In
the main part of town some new
homes are being built, a new feed
store on the Rome road, near the
school house, has just been com
pleted and a new curb market
building is being erected on Com
merce street, near the intersection
of the Dixie highway and the Geor
gia-Alabama highway, and quite a
few building improvements are un
der way.
■ The Selman building on Com
merce street, between the Summer
ville Cash Store and hospital, is
nearing completion, and Perry’s
Barber Shop opened this week for
business in part of the building.
The other part of the building will
be completed within a short time
and will be occupied by the Ameri
can Case. This building was dam
aged by fire several months ago
and has been completely remodeled
and is modern in every respect.
The city is growing by leaps and
bounds since the end of the war
and since the city limits were ex
tended.

LAST WEEK FOOD CAMPAIGN
FOR STARVING NATIONS
The two cans of food asked of
each person in the county, to be
sent to the famished people who
live in those countries that were
so horribly ravished by Hitler’s ar
mies, has not been the success we
expected of the kind-hearted peo
ple of Chattooga.
Jim Tedder, chairman of the
drive, states that the small con
tributions sent each Saturday to
the American Legion hall has been
very disappointing, as well as to
the other places designated for the
assembling of food.
Those who have not made a con
tribution yet have an opportunity
to help these stricken people. We
do urge you not to let this pass
you by. It is away to do your bit
to help these heart-broken people
to survive the wintet and enjoy
the freedom for which they have
given so much.—Publicity Chair
man.

Forestry Aides
To Be Trained
The Georgia Department of For
estry has been approved by the
State Veterans’ Service Office for
on-the-job training of World War
II veterans now employed by the
department and those who may be
employed by it in the future, ac
cording to Director J. M. Tinker,
of the department.
Sixteen employes of the depart
ment are eligible for this training,
all of whom will be given opportu
nity to file application with the
Veterans’ Administration for train
ing.
“It is the policy of the depart
ment of forestry,” said Director
Tinker, “to fill vacancies wherever
possible with veterans. This on
the-job training program for the
department will enable it to more
readily fill these vacancies with
veterans. Many requests are being
made by veterans for employment
in forestry work; however, the de
partment regrets to announce that
all who apply cannot be given jobs.
“Many hundreds will have to be
turned away. This is unfortunate,
because the veterans need the for
ests and the forests need the vet
erans. and to add to the sadness of
the occasion, Georgia needs a great
ly expanded forestry program.”

Georgia’s Rural Health
Work Becoming Noted
The rural health work being ac
complished over the state by the
Georgia Public Health department
has received warm praise of an ex
pert from afar —Dr. Mohammed
Abdo Abbasy, of Alexandria, Egypt,
professor of hygiene and preven
tive medicine at Faroik university.
The Egyptian doctor revealed a
special interest in the state’s tuber
culosis control program.
Dr. Abbasy, who is also a mem
ber of the permanent committee
on nutrition of the Egyptian min
istry of public health, located in
Cairo, mspected the Georgia de
partment at the suggestion of
Thomas Parran, surgeon-general of
the United States.
He met Parran while serving as
Egypt’s delegate to a recent session
of the food and agricultural organi
zation of the United Nations’ Social
and Economic Council in Quebec,
Canada, and the surgeon-general
suggested that he inspect Georgia’s
public health activities.
YOUTH FOR CHRIST
The program given in November
has aroused much commendation,
not only among the young people,
but also among the adults. The
music and singing was soul-lifting;
the speaker was dynamic and
heart-touching.
Come to the courthouse in Sum
merville Saturday night, Dec. 1, at
7:30, for another great program. It
is time to be Christian. Jesus said:
“Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which I say,”
Luke 6:46. —S. L. Walker, Secy.
J. T. Gamble, who has been se
riously ill, is better today.

Georgia Hopes to Get
Battey Hospital
Atlanta, Nov. 27 (GPS)—Encour
aged are state officials over the
possibility of Georgia getting the
-10,000,000 Battey General Hospital
at Rome for use as a state tuber
culosis sanatorium.
Word from Washington is to the
effect that the huge Army hospital,
with 3,000-bed capacity, will be de
clared surplus property on Dec. 15
and offered for sale.
Some months ago State Depart
ment of Public Health officials
asked Georgia senators and con
gressmen to take steps toward ob
taining Battey hospital for the
state. Now it is reported from
Washington that the state probably
can get the hospital, including the
equipment-and all, for little or no
cash payment, provided it is used
for public purposes.
Rev. Scarborough to

The Book, “From Victory Unto
Victory,” written for study just be
fore the Baptist “Around the World
Day of Prayer,” will be taught by

Wheeler. This promises to be most
interesting and First Baptist WMS
will be glad to have visitors.
On the following Friday at 10:30
the ladies will meet in the home of
Mrs. H. D. Brown to join the Bap
tist women of the world in a day
of prayer.
Boxes for Food Gifts
Are Available in Stores
Pick-up boxes for canned goods
contributed to the Food-for-Peace
campaign have been placed in gro
cery stores and other spots over
the state, and cans may be dropped
into them throughout this month,
it was announced by the Georgia
Citizens’ Council, sponsor of this
movement.
The food is being collected at the
urge of UNRRA, to be distributed
this winter in the countries that
have felt heavily the ravaging hand
of war and whose peoples are near
starvation.
In Atlanta alone, 97 grocery stores
have receptacles for canned food
deposits, according to T. Guy Wool
ford, chairman of the drive in the
capital city.
“Make the peace permanent with
food” is one slogan of the cam
paign, said Director Lon Sullivan.
Arnall Plans to Confer
With State’s Solons
Looking forward to a harmonious
and constructive adjourned session
in January, Gov. Ellis Arnall has
been planning a series of confer
ences with members of the general
assembly during the next 5 weeks.
In these conferences, the gov
ernor and legislators are working
on the agenda for the session and
to devise methods of clearing up
the home-rule statute. Also, they
will consider what local bills have
an emergency status and need in
sistently to be passed, and other
wise work to prevent calendar con
gestion.
The meetings are purposed to ar
range for smooth, quick passage of
every proposed bill not wholly out
of harmony with the administra
tion and which can secure assem
bly approval.
Arnall and the two presiding of
ficers of the house and senate and
in thorough accord as to Georgia’s
needs and what should be done in
behalf of the state, the governor
said.
“This administration,” asserted
the governor, “is concerned with
rendering to the people the broad
est possible public services consis
tent with the financial stability of
the state. We particularly are anx
ious to enlarge services in the fields
of education and health. By the
wise enactment of the general as
sembly, we are undertaking to ren
der expanded services to our re
turning war veterans and are mov
ing forward in many fields that
properly should receive attention
from the state.
“The January session of the gen
eral assembly will offer a splendid
opportunity for the legislature to
survey the state’s financial situa
tion and determine how we can pro
vide enlarged services to the limit
of the state’s financial ability. I
have conferred with President
Gross, of the state senate, and
Speaker Harris, of the house. There
is no disagreement between us as
to the needs of Georgia and what
should be done.”
