State’s Game Rank
Depends on Efforts
Os Every Georgian
Most Georgians would like to
see their state remain at the
top of the heap in the amount
of game and fish available to
her citizens and tourists. There
are few who would like to see
conservation efforts fail.
However according to Charles
N. Elliott, director of the state
game and fish commission,most
people do not realize where the
final answer to the success of
conservation efforts lies. No
matter which way citizens view
the picture, or how they ra
tionalize rhe question, he said,
“the answer Is invariably—
you.”
When fishermen go down to
the Ogeechee, the Okefenokee
or the Flint, or into the Chat
tooga County streams, and re
turn with empty creels, they
want to know why the commis
sion has not put fish into the
streams, or, if they did, where
the fish went. Hunters come
back from hunting trips with
a small bag and wonder where
the birds are.
The individual citizen is the
answer. With a game and fish
pressure from sportsmen today
that a few years ago would
have seemed unbelievable, it is
the responsibility of every
Georgia citizen to see that the
laws are obeyed, streams kept
clear of nets and traps, rough
fish removed and water kept
clear of pollution.
Georgia will continue to be
one of the outstanding game
states in the Union if game
gets the essentials of life.
“No stocking efforts,” Elliott
said, “can be as effective as
nature, if we stay within the
regulations and provide our
game with food, ample cover
and protection from the worst
oredator of them all, the two
legged animal known as man.”
Methodist W.S.C.S.
Met Last Monday
The Woman’s Society of Chris
tian Service of the Summerville
Methodist Church held its reg
ular monthly meeting at the
church Monday afternoon, July
8. In the absence of both the
president and vice president, the
corresponding secretary, Mrs. R.
R. Garrett, presided. Mrs. C. C.
Cleghorn conducted the worship
service, the theme of which was
“For All Valiant Women.” The
pastor, the Rev. Wilson J. Cul
pepper, presented the topic of
study, “Women, Trustees of the
Future.” This proved to be very
interesting, informative and in
spiring.
A brief business session was
held. The meeting was concluded
with prayer by Mrs. Wilson J.
Culpepper.

GENE AND ED COMBINE FORCES IN
VAIN EFFORT TO STOP JIMMIE
By PAUL STEVENSON
The race for governor has
reached its climax, and when
you see two candidates in a
three-handed race conniving to
head off the third, you can put
that down as a situation of real
significance. And that’s the way
it looks—Talmadge and Rivers
leaders all over the state are
putting their heads together to
form plans to stop Carmichael.
Talmadge and Rivers started
their campaigns at least two
years ago. And both reached their
zenith some weeks ago—in the
case of Rivers a month ago. The
chief Talmadge hope—the race
problem—is rapidly fading and
the Talmadge leaders, know it.
They have found that the ma
jority of the people of Georgia
feel that Talmadge is not the
man to handle a race problem
and that if he were elected the
problem would grow much worse.
They feel that patriotic and in
telligent Georgia leaders can and
will solve this problem satisfac
torily to both races.
Rivers has always been an or
ganization man and he spent the
larger part of two years forming
State to Continue
School Lunchrooms
Under Federal Aid
Officials of the state depart
ment of education have signed
an agreement with the United
States department of agriculture
to continue Georgia’s school
lunchroom program under a new
and permanent legislation en
acted by Congress recently.
The agreement is for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. Dr. M. D.
Collins, state school superintend
ent, signed for the state depart
ment of education, and Walter
Hughes, of the production and
marketing administration, repre
sented the depatrment of agricul
ture.
According to Mrs. Lucile Wat
son, state director of the lunch
room program, Georgia’s share
of Federal lunchroom funds has
not been determined, though the
amount designated for the entire
nation is $75,000,000 for food and
$10,000,000 for equipment to
store, prepare and serve food.
Allocation of funds is made on
the basis of school enrollment
and the need for assistance bas
ed on the relation of per capita
income in the state as to per
capita income for the nation.
Georgia’s need is greater than
that of other states, since its per
capita income is less.
During the last school year,
$2,600,000 was used to operate the
program in Georgia—sl,ooo,ooo
more than allocated. Funds un
used from other states went to
make up the additional $1,000,-
000.
The school lunchrooms provide
meals in 1.300 Georgia schools
for more than 180,000 children
a day.
No Meeting of Junior
Woman’s Club for July
There will be no meeting of the
Junior Woman’s Club for the
month of July. The August meet

ty,” conducted by Miss Elizabeth
Jackson and Mrs. J. L. Hender
son.
his organization. He obtained
some leaders in some of the
counties but the masses of the
people are not for Rivers and
those leaders are finding it out.
Witness numerous defections re
ported in recent weeks and even
look over the situation in your
own county.
Carmichael is getting almost
solid support of the church peo
ple of Georgia, the women, the
business men and farmers who
want to see new industries
brought to this state and above
all a great majority of the new
voters who have registered for
this election.
The total registration in Geor
gia is nearly a million and it is
about twice as great as ever be
fore in a state election.
What these new voters will do
at the polls has been amply dem
onstrated in recent elections held
in Richmond, Walker, Fulton
and other counties. They have
voted almost unanimously
against the old political rings
and the old, worn-out leaders.
And it is virtually certain that
they are going to do this in the
state election which means they
are going to vote for Carmichael.
REVIVAL AT W. SUMMERVILLE
BAPTIST STARTS SUNDAY
There will be a revival meeting
at West Summerville Baptist
Church beginning Sunday, July
14. Everyone is invited to attend
these services. We are looking for

pray that many souls will be
saved. The Rev. F. M. Higgins is
the pastor.
O. L. CLECKLER
NAMED REGISTRAR
Upon recommendation of Judge
J. W. King, ordinary of Chat

cooperation of Richard Brewer,
director of vital statistics, O. L.

Carmichael, Good
Government Will
T riumph—Arnall
ATLANTA, July 10 (GPS).—
“The people of Georgia can have
faith in their state, and they
will maintain faith in themselves
and their free institutions. This
is an hour for victory; this is the
time for success. This is the time
to win. The future beckons Geor
gia to victory and a brave new
day with James V. Carmichael as
governor of our beloved state.”
Thus declared Gov. Ellis Ar
nall in predicting a victory for
Jimmie Carmichael and good and
honest government in the state
Democratic primary July 17. In
his second radio speech dealing
with the forthcoming guberna
torial election, heard over a
state-wide hook-up Saturday
night, the governor expressed
confidence that the people of
Georgia will let the two profes
sional ex-goverpors remain ex
governors. Said he:
“Personally, I am very confi
dent of that verdict. Always I
have believed that when the
citizens know the facts, when
none of the facts are withheld
from them, they understand the
issues; and none can have any
doubt that they will decide wise
ly and for the best interest of
the state . . . Never in the his
tory of Georgia have the issues
in a campaign been so clear-cut.
Never before have the people of
our state understood the true is
sues as they do in this campaign. ’
In making his own prediction
as to the outcome o. the gov
ernor’s race, Governor Arnall
said he did not possess any se
cret information unavailable to
“my fellow citizens,” nor did he
claim to have any mysterious
power that would enable him to
foretell how the people will vote.
What he based his forecast on
was from data he accumulated,
from surveys and polls that have
been made, from straw votes tak
en all over the state and from
what many Georgians have told
and written him since the en
tries closed last May 25. From
a study of all that the governor
said: “I think I have a good idea
about the outcome of the gover
nor’s race.”
Governor Arnail said the 500,-
000 new voters in Georgia did
not register to vote against
progress, or against law and or
der or against good government
in Georgia. He said the vast ma
jority of mothers and fathers,
veterans, men and women in ser
vice, college students, teen-agers,
merchants, farmers and house
wives would vote for James V.
Carmichael. To back up his own
judgment he cited straw votes
and polls taken by responsible
groups all over Geeorgia, every
one of which, showed Carmichael
far out in the lead.
Perhaps tbfe most far-reaching
of any survey to date was the
one conducted by the Georgia
Justices and Constables Associa
tion, the governor said. It show
ed, according to the Georgia Jus
tice News dated July 6, 1946, that
Carmichael is in the lead by a
large majority and gaining
strength daily. Out of 4,703
questionnaires or ballots return
ed to the association, Carmichael
received 2,889, Talmadge 1,523
and Rivers 290.
“Once and for all time in our
state, we shall defeat the forces
that wish to divide our people,
to substitute political chicanery
for hones elections, to foist the
evils of bad government upon :
us,” concluded Governor Arnall.
About 90 per cent of the apri
cot crop comes from California.
TRION-SUBLIGNA AND
FISH HATCHERY SPUR
TO BE PAVED SOON
The state highway department has announced that the
cqntract in Chattooga County will be extended to include
the grading, drainage and paving on the spur route to the
fish hatchery. The new project will take care of the quar
ter-mile stretch, and will cost approximately $6,500.
FIRST PEACETIME
FOURTH IN 5 YEARS
Georgia and the nation last
week celebrated the first
Fourth of July under peacetime
conditions in five years. In At
lanta the occasion, by official
proclamation, also was a “wel
come home” day for the veter
ans of World War II from the
| Fifth Congressional District,
i Highlight of the day was the
i American Legion ceremony at
the foot of Stone Mountain, at
which Gov. Ellis Arnall spoke
on behalf of the state; Vice Ad
: miral Daniel E. Barbey for the
i navy, and Col. George L. Hol
l singer for the army. Said the
J governor:
r “There will be no freedom in
■ i this world until all men are
: | free. Americans have it in their
• power to lead the entire world
> to freedom. That is our des
. tiny. If we do not achieve it, we
shall fail. And we shall not
. fail!”
State Teachers’ Pay
Increase Is Now
’ Assured for 1946
’ ATLANTA, July 10 (GPS).—
Unlike the scene in Mudviile
when the mighty Casey struck
out, there is rejoicing in every
, community throughout Georgia
today particularly among the
school teachers.
Reason, of course, is the news
that sufficient funds to pay Geor
gia school teachers a 50 per cent
salary bonus for the last four
months of the Arnall adminis
tration have been collected by
the state department of revenue.
Unlike Casey, Governor Arnall:
hit a home run when he an
nounced the other day the nec
essary money had been raised.
The governor congratulated
State Revenue Commissioner M.
E. Thompson and his staff for
collecting more than $6,000,000
in April, May and June, over the
corresponding 1945 period. Os the
increased collections, $3,000,000
will be needed to pay the teach
ers their raise for the months of
September, October, November
and December.
The pay increase was contin
gent upon collection of the addi
tional $6,000,00, and Commission
er Thompson, in his report to
the governor, disclosed that his
department exceeded the goal
by $700,166. Expressing extreme
satisfaction over reaching the
goal, Governor Arnall said:
“I know of nothing that can
be more beneficial to the welfare
of the state than the 50 per
cent increase in compensation
for the teachers.”
Whether the 56 per cent in
crease becomes a permanent raise
or is a bonus paid by the Arnall
administration depends upon ac
tion of the next governor in Jan
uary.

$1.50 A YEAR
★ "The state highway depart
| ment is operating on a wholly
j cash basis for the first time in
history,” Director George Mc-
Donald reports. “Whenever a
contract is let, the money to pay
for it is set aside. There will be
no delay in completing a project,
therefore, and there will be no
delay in paying the contractor or
the county for the work. In that
way, we expect to provide a max
imum construction program for
I less money. In fact, this year’s
\ program in Georgia is the great
est ever undertaken in our state
or any other Southern state in a
single calendar year. And we are
proud that it is an all-cash pro
gram.”
The state highway department
has been concentrating this year
on projects for which Federal aid
could be obtained, with special
attention to rural highways.
However, Governor Arnall found
that after matching all Federal
money available, a small surplus
remained. This is being used for
projects regarded as of an emer
gency nature, which were ur
■ I gently needed but which were not
immediately eligible for Federal
participation. On these, only
I state funds will be used.
The rapidity with which Geor
gia was able to resume road
building when wartime restric
tions were removed was due to
| the policy of the state highway
department in continuing its
. plan-making during the war. Im
mediately, materials became
available and restrictions were
lifted, Georgia submitted its pro
gram to the Federal bureau of
public roads and became one of
the first states in the nation to
resume construction.
