Governor Comments on Opportunity
Os Sunday School Week, April 8-14
Unless you provide constructive
thoughts for the mentally active
and energetic young folks of this
day and time, they are in dan
ger of providing juvenile delin
quency problems for the commu
nities in which they reside, it is
declared by Governor Arnall in
commenting on National Sunday
School Week, April 8-14. The gov
ernor asserted:
“Just like all wars of the past,
the recent one has been followed
by a certain amount of upheaval
and unrest. Young folks of today
are more energized and activated
than ever before, it would seem.
They possess imagination and the
urge to perform in some field.

ARNALI OUTLINES
PLAN FOR STATE’S
FUTURE PROGRESS
SUGGESTS PROGRAM TO BRING
PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY
‘ TO STATE OF GEORGIA.
ATLANTA, April 3 (GPS).—Gov.
Ellis Arnall is always thinking in
terms of what is good for Georgia
and its peoples, both now and in
the future. For example, at the re
cent banquet of the West End Bus
inessmen’s Club in Atlanta he sug
gested a program which he said
would bring progress and prosperi
ty to Georgia.
Here is the program which the
governor advocated: (1) More ed
ucation, including better pay for
school teachers; (2) a better and
more inclusive health service for
the entire state; (3) an agricultur
al-industrial economy which would
make for a better balanced state,
and (4) development of the state’s
tourist resources.
“We must create greater econom
ic opportunity in our state and this
sort of a program will do much to
■foster it,” Gov. Arnall said. “We
must save the capitalistic system
because it creates opportunity, but
if we do not do the things neces
sary to save that system, then we
may be sure that the system won’t
last. The only way to build a bet
ter world is to start at home.”
Urging the people to take a great
er interest in local government but
cautioning that they will not get
the kind of local government they
want unless they are willing to pay
for it, the governor added:
“In order to do the things we
ought to do, we must start right
where we are. As governor, I’ve
tried to do that in Georgia. One
result is that for the first time in
its history the state is debt-free.”

CONCENTRATE!) DRIVE
FOR FUNDS TO STAMP
OUT CANCER BEGINS
MRS. COLLEY SAYS GIGANTIC
JOB FACES GEORGIANS
THIS YEAR.
Georgia’s most concentrated drive
to raise funds to stamp out cancer
begins this week, Mrs. Stewart Col
ley, of Grantville, state commander,
fiel darmy, American Cancer So
ciety, announced.
“We have a gigantic job to do in
Georgia this year,” Mrs. Colley
commented. “We have a large group
of well-organized workers, how
ever, and with public support, we
i'eel that the campaign will be a
success.”
Mrs. Alva Maxwell, Fifth district
commander, announced that the
Atlanta drive will open April 21
and extend through April 27. Ruth
erford Ellis, of Atlanta, chairman
of the finance committee, revealed
that his group which contacts po
tential large givers already is at
work and that their personal and
letter solicitations probably will
be completed before the field army
workers begin their collections.
In urging all Georgians to sup
port this drive with their interest
and money, Mrs. Colley pointed out
that one person out of every eight
residents of the United States will
die of cancer unless something is
done to check the present mortal
ity rate. “We could cut this figure
in half,” she said, “reducing the
percentage to one out of every 16
with our present knowledge of the
disease if people would learn to
recognize the danger signals and
seek proper treatment immediate
ly.”

Detroit Tigers and
Boston Braves to Play
In Rome Saturday
The world’s champion Detroit
Tiger baseball club plays the Na
tional League Boston Braves at
Tubize Park, Rome, this Saturday,
April 6. The Detroit club has been
promising to play at Rome for sev
eral years and this year was able
to make the date.
: Detroit is favored along with the
Yankees to cop the pennant again
this season. The Tigers won the
pennant last year on the strength
. of Newhouser’s left arm, which
accounted for 25 wins, and the able
assistance of Dizzy Trout’s 18 vic
tories, Al Benton’s 13 wins and
[ Muller’s and Overmire’s 15 wins.
Newhouser’s earned-run record
. | of 1.81 and 25 wins made him the
i greatest left-hander in the busi
[ ness today.
Virgil Trucks, the Birmingham,
| Ala., fireball hurler, is back from
the war and if his arm is equal to
his pre-war performance, the Ti
; gers will be a real menace in the
[American League.
The batting power of Detroit is
far above last season with the re
turn of the powerful Greenberg,
Barney McCoskey and Dick Wake
field.
Pinkie Higgins is back at third
base but is being pushed by Hitch
cock, a returned war veteran, who
played some great football down
at Auburn.
Paul Richards, former Cracker
catcher, will be behind the plate a
good portion of the season for De
troit.
The Boston Braves have import
ed Billy Southworth, former Card
inal manager, and have been buy
ing all players in sight in an at
tempt to get away from the Nation
al League cellar.
North Georgia fans will be able
to see some of baseball’s greats at
Tubize Park, Rome, April 6, at 3:15
