ARNALL CALLS FOR
AN OBSERVANCE OF
WORLD PRAYER DAY
Calling upon Georgians to ob
serve World Day of Prayer, Friday,
March 8, Gov. Ellis Arnall declared
that it is befitting to ask Divine
guidance as to the vast opportu
nities now facing the people, as
well as to “realize our duties, which
are deep and broad. He asserted:
“With upward of fifty nations
now observing World Day of Pray
er, on the first Friday in Lent
(March 8), and the theme this year
being The Things That Make For
Our Peace,’ it is certainly befitting
that, now with the tragic ball of
war lifted, America and these oth
er countries are uniting in asking
God for guidance in the present op
portunity to lay hands and hearts
upon those things which make for
our peace.
“Now that we can turn our at
tentions and activities back to the
arts of peace and the pursuits of
normal times, let us of Georgia be
seech His blessing in our work of
facilitating recovery and recon
version, that we might achieve
those thoughtfully and intelligent
ly, utilizing the physical resources'
and assets involved for a better
state, nation and world, for a hap
pier and more contented people,
and a greater reverence of Him
who gave us these material bless
ings and for whom we are their
custodian.
“Let us of Georgia therefore ask
for imagination to understand not
only our opportunities in this day.
which are vast, but also to realize
our duties, which are deep and
broad —duties to our homes; to our
state and nation, as contained in
an inspiring citizenship; to our
young people who left their homes
to fight to make the world a safe
place in which we might dwell, and
to a better world order than that
which plunged us into a costly and
injurious war.
“Then, let the spirit of peace
abide in our minds and hearts—
the spirit that would put away
hatreds and embrace the tolerant
attitude toward one another in
dealing with our fellow men. But
let us fearlessly and determinedly
seek out the path of right, and not
weary in the fight to make it pre
vaii. but press on to victory for
those high ideals that will stand
guardian and protector over our
state and land if we will not desert
them.”

From Other Papers
SAFE DRINKING WATER
One of Georgia’s great natural
treasures is its abundance of wa
ter in rivers, creeks, springs and
underground. It is a key to flour
ishing farms and industries, a
source of plentiful hydroelectric
power, a necessity of animal and
human life. It is the right kind
of water for manufacturing proc
esses and, when duly safeguarded
against pollution, is altogether
wholesome and inviting.
But a report of the state depart
ment of health, just published,
shows that 77 Georgia communities
have water supplies which fail to
meet bacterial standards for hy
gienic drinking. This does not de
note, necessarily, that they are now
dangerous, but it does mean that
they are questionable and that in
the interest of public safety their
defects should be speedily remedi
ed.
The health authorities explain
that since bacteria causing typhoid
and other diseases of the intestinal
tract are too rare and minute to be
counted accurately, “water is test
ed for the presence of any type of
fecal organisms on the theory that,
if typhoid or similar germs are
present, they will be found in col
onies of such fecal organisms.” It
is assuring to learn that the water
supplies of Atlanta and of DeKalb
County were wholly free from such
organisms during 12 months of the
health department tests in 1945.
The fact, however, that as many
as 77 communities, including some
sizable towns and cities, were found
to be much below the safety line
is a sharp challenge to the public
officials and to the rank and file
of the people in all of the local
ities concerned. In most instances,
the trouble probably can be reached
by improved equipment and op
eration, without great expense. But
in arty case, and regardless of cost,
the hazards for health and life
should be removed.—The Atlanta
Journal
Note Summerville’s water was
listed in the State Department
of Health’s report as being below
the bacterial standards. A filter
ing plant is needed.
Federal Jobs Are Open
To World War II Vets
Veterans and others desiring fed
eral employment with the Veterans
Administration should apply direct
to the Veterans Administration of
fices. This announcement was made
today, by O. E. Myers, regional di
rector, Atlanta, of the United States
Civil Service Commission, and John
M. Slaton, Jr., Atlanta, deputy ad
ministrator of the Veterans Admin
istration. Until such time as the
Civil Service Commission can es
tablish lists for probational ap
pointments it has issued to the
Veterans Administration temporary
authority to recruit and employ
their own personnel. This co-op
erative plan will enable the Civil
Service Commission to devote all
its resources to the announcement
of examinations and the establish
ment of registers for probational
appointment and will enable the
Veterans Administration to con
tinue the staffing of its enlarging
organization.
This applies to all departments
of the Veterans Administration
wherever located in the States of
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
In making such appointments the
Veterans Administration will ad
here to the qualification standards
for positions prescribed by the com
mission, and applications will be
considered in the following order:
(1) From persons entitled to ten
point military preference, (2) from
persons entitled to five-point mili
tary service, (3) from former fed
eral employes. (This group will be
considered to include all former em
ployes of the executive branch of
the federal government, the gen
eral accounting office, the govern
ment printing, the administrative
office of the United States courts,
and the District of Columbia gov
ernment.) (4) From non-prefer
ence applicants who are not former
federal employes.
These positions will be temporary
in tenure, pending plans for the
announcement of examinations for
probational appointments to be an
nounced by the commission.
During this period of temporary
appointments the Civil Service
Commission will assist the Veterans
Administration by conducting pe
riodic post-audits of the adminis
tration’s files.
Regional Director Myers stated
that 26,660 veterans—including the
wives of disabled veterans or wid
ows of veterans—were appointed to
positions with the federal govern
ment in the five states mentioned

Bright Future
Lies Ahead in
Control of Cancer
Progress in the nation-wide bat
tle against cancer will be found be
yond the next couple of hills of re
search work, Dr. G. T. Bernard, of
the University Hospital at Augusta,
says encouragingly.
“Many bright things lie ahead,”
he commented, because cancer pre
vention and cures are to be found
in extensive research and educa
tion of the public.
Atomic research may produce ad
vances in cancer treatment, Dr.
Bernard agrees, but he says he is
not qualified to comment on the
subject.
“We clinical men just do what
the research fellows find out and
prove is best,” he summarized.
Yet, in the twenty years he has
been with the Augusta clinic, Dr.
Bernard says he has seen encourag
ing progress. The most important
factor—and he gives the American
Cancer Society and the field army
credit foi' it—is that more people
are seeking medical attention ear
lier.
The result not only is that the
disease is discovered in an early
stage, when cure is not hopeless,
but also that frequently pre-can
cerous conditions are found.
“We can nearly always cure these
pre-cancerous lesions,” he says.
MRS. LOVE HONORED
Mrs. J. Hoyt Williams and Miss
Mary Nell Hendrix entertained
Tuesday night with a miscellaneous
shower, honoring Mrs. Merle Love.
Those present were Mesdames Earl
A. Williams, W. O. Stanfield, Glenn

Many interesting contests were
held and the honoree received
many lovely gifts.
Garment-Making
Industry Is On
Boom in State
( The garment industry is “the fas
test growing business in Georgia,”
according to W. C. Cram, director
of the industry panel of the State
Agricultural and Industrial Devel
opment Board, who revealed that
.ight new garment-making factories
are either being planned for Geor
gia or are now being erected.
In the last six months, Cram said,
fifteen such plants were construct
ed in Georgia, bringing the total in
operation in the state to one hun
dred and forty-one.
Seventy-five per cent of the
plants already existing or being
planned are owned and financed by
Georgia capital, he asserted. Last
year, Georgia factories of the kind
did a business in the neighbor
hood of fifty million dollars.
