Federal Aid for
Georgia Schools
Coming-Collins
ATLANTA, May 1 (GPSi.—State
School Superintendent M. D. Col
lins believes that “Georgia will be
gin to tap Federal aid for education
by July 1.”
In fact, Dr. Collins made- that
prediction at a luncheon last week
in Atlanta of the Georgia Vocation
al Association, at which he was
presented a life membership in the
American Vocational Association.
He told his audience that he be
lieved the senate bill providing for
Federal aid would receive favorable
final action by Congress between
now and July 1.
Those speaking at the luncheon
lauded Dr. Collins as “a man who
brought Georgia out of the base
ment in education” and put the
state in a position to command re
spect in this field from the rest
of the nation.
State Revenue Commissioner M.
E. Thompson, who said Dr. Collins
was “recognized as the best politi
cian sh Georgia,” emphasized that
the $6,000,000 he, as revenue com
missioner, was supposed to raise to
carry out Gov. Ellis Arnall’s prom
ise to raise teachers’ pay 50 per
cent next fall would be forthcom
ing.

Alcott’s Tittle Women’
A brand-new version of Louisa
May Alcott’s famous story, “Little
Women,” has been chosen as the
senior play this year, and will be
presented in the Menlo auditorium
tomorrow night, May 3, at 8 o’clock.
Everybody has read the story of
“Little Women” and a lot of people
have seen the motion picture and
the play, but here is a version that
contains more of the beloved ele
ments in the book than any other
that has ever been offered. Recently
released for amateur use, “Little
Women,” as produced by the local
cast, will thrill you with its human
ness, amuse you with its comedy,
will make you sad with its tragedy,
and hopeful with its tender ro
mance.
The play is being directed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Baker Young.
Forestry Program
For State Urged
By State Expert
A statewide forestry program that
would put Georgia on a footing
with other states that have forged
ahead in protecting and restocking
their forests is being urged by State
Forestry Director J. M. Tinker.
Addressing the Georgia Forestry
Association at its recent meeting,
the state forester called for:
1. State-wide fire protection for
forests—at an estimated cost of sl,-
600,000 annually.
2. A five-year planting program,
with 100.000 acres put into seed
lings each year.
3. An adequate forestry research
program.
4. Provision of harvesting and
marketing services. (A county for
ester would seem as necessary as a
county agricultural agent, Tinker
said.)
5. A system of state-owned for
ests to serve as proving-grounds for
demonstration and research pur
poses.
6. A well-directed informational
and educational program.
7. Encouragement of industries
which would carry fabrication of
wood nearer to the manufacturer
of finished products, and develop
ment of additional forestry indus
tries.
8. Legislation which would pro
vide the means for carrying out the
above-presented program.

Scouters Council
Holds Meeting
On Last Friday
The Chattooga County Scouters
Council met last Friday at 7 p. m.
to discuss the county scouting pro
gram. The meeting was opened with
the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting by C. H. Westin, scout
executive, of Rome.
The cub scout program was dis
cussed in detail. J. T. Morgan re
ported on white cub pack in Sum
merville. They are just getting
organized and are planning to meet
with the white Trion cub pack at
their next meeting May 3.
The scoutmasters or representa
tives reported on the various activ
ities of the troops in Summerville
and Trion. There is much interest
displayed in scouting in Chattooga
County and all troops are progress
ing to the point that we are going
to have some outstanding scout
troops in the county.
Mr. Westin reported on Negro
scout troop in Summerville which
has a very good program outlined
for the future and feels that by the
next meeting of the council much
progress will have been made by
this troop.
D. L. McWhorter reported on the
present financial drive. Mr. Morgan
reported that the Summerville com
mittee has around $442.03 in cash
or pledges to be collected up to this
time and feels that they, the Sum
merville committee, will go over the
top in collecting their quota.
Sam Cook reported that the Trion
committee had collected in cash
$315.20 and that the drive had just
started and assured the members of
the council that the Trion commit
tee would have no trouble securing
their quota.
An interesting bit of news was
reported by one of the members of
the council which concerns scouting
in general. At a recent regional
meeting, a judge from Columbus
stated that he had made it a policy
to ask each criminal that came be
fore him if he had ever been a Boy
Scout. The judge stated that to
date he has to have his first crim
inal to admit that he was a Boy
' Scout in his youth. This really
speaks well for scouting.
The council announced that hon
orary membership of the Chattooga
district committee was being issued
to all members of the clergy in
Chattooga County. •
Mr. Westin gave a brief report
on Camp Sidney Dew. The camp
will open June 16 and run for six
weeks. The fee will be the same as
last year, $9 per week. The council
urges that all scouts in Chattooga
County attend this camp.
The next meeting of the council
is scheduled for the last Friday in
May. Plans are being made for the
June meeting to be held at Camp
Sidney Dew when Chattooga boys
are at this camp.
