Georgia to Get
15 Millions of
Hospital Funds
Georgia is expected to receive
$3,142,000 year, or $15,710,000
over a five-year period, lor the
building and equipping of hospi
tals over the state.
This comes as Georgia’s share
from passage of the Hill-Burton
bill, whirch provides for private,
non-profit hospitals, as well as
state, county and city institu
tions to share in Federal funds.
Seventy-five million dollars is
appropriated annually for the
entire nation, for the next five
years, plus five millions for state
agencies in planning and select
ing sites for new hospitals.
Governmental or private agen
cies will be required to pay 60
per cent of the cost of building
or equipping any hospital or clin
ic, and the Federal Government
will put 40 per cent into it, under
the new act.
Southern states will thus have
an over-all program of $442,600,-
000 through matching the Fed
eral outlay of $177,040,000 with
$265,560,000.
Governor Arnall hailed the
Hill Burton act as a “coming up
on better days’’ for this section
and said that a light had been
made for years to fix Federal
grants in such a manner as to
give poorer states a larger per
centage.

Vocational Bill
Greatly Benefits
State’s Program
ATLANTA, Aug. 7 (GPS).—
Georgia is now in a position to
make even greater strides in vo
cational education.
As a result of the Federal aid
for vocational education bill,
which President Truman signed
in Washington the other day,
Georgia will be able to train
practically twice as many young
people and veterans in trades in
this state, according to State Vo
cational Director M. D. Mobley,
who has just returned from
Washington and was present at
the signing along with Mrs. Mob
ley and Senator Walter F. George,
author of the bill.
The bill increases the national
appropriation from approximate
ily $14,000,000 to around $30,000,-
i 000, with Georgia’s share being
increased from $597,348 in 1945-
40 to $905,037 in 1946-47.
There will be a general expan
sion of all phases of vocational
education so as to reach more
young people and veterans in the
state, Mobley said. When the
funds become available early
next year, Georgia will employ
more teachers and will expand
the programs in the present
schools and place training in
more schools, he said, adding:
“The vocational education pro
gram in Georgia is divided into
four separate phases—vocation
al agriculture, vocational home
making, distributive education
and trades and industry.”
The new money wil lenable
Georgia to set up programs in
small towns which heretofore
were not reached, it was pointed
out. It al§o will make it possible
for Georgia to train about twice
as many veterans as it is now
teaching, there now being some
10,000, Mobley said. The state
board of education has voted to
spend SIO,OOO of the new money
for fire prevention and fire-fight
ing training.
Pointing to the growth of vo
cational education in Georgia
since 1918, Dr. M. D. Collins, state
superintendent of schools, said
in its first year only 2,541 stu
dents were enrolled in all phases
of vocational education; this
year, there are 120,387 students
enrolled.

ArnallAdvocates
400 Million for
10-Yr. Road Plan
Gov. Ellis Arnall, who has un
der way the largest highway con
struction program in Georgia’s
history, and State Highway Di
rector George T. McDonald favor
a 10-year plan involving a total
cost of $400,000,000 to put the
roads of the state in adequate
condition. They advocated this
type of long-range program in
addresses delivered before the
recent convention of the Geor
gia Rural Letter Carriers Asso
ciation held in Atlanta.
To advance such a program,
delegates to the convention unan
imously adopted a resolution for
an amendment to the state con
stitution that would require all
taxes from fuel and gasoline to
be used solely for road purposes.
(Such taxes last year amounted
to more than $27,497,000.) In or
der to keep up a continuous fight
Sor this law, the convention di
rected Association President S.
W. Ware, of Woodbury, to name
a permanent legislative commit
tee.
“We should and must have bet
ter roads in Georgia,” said Mc-
Donald in expressing approval of
this movement. “I firmly believe
with you that the law should ear
mark all money from the gaso
line tax solely for road purposes.
Then the highway department
could lay out and carry through
a 10-year plan for building ade
quate roads all over Georgia. It
costs a lot of money to build
roads, and there is a lot of them
in Georgia—-14,000 miles in the
state highway system and 86,000
miles in the rural road system, a
total of 100,000 miles of road in
Georgia.
“Now, if we connect every
county seat in Georgia through
our highway system, that will
cost at a minimum $115,000,000.
And it will take 10 years and it
will cost $400,000,000 to give
Georgia adequate roads. To meet
this problem, we should have a
sound and adequate method of
finance. The revenue from the
gas tax provides us with that
method and I believe that we
should use it that way.”
Calling on all Georgians to join
together in the effort “to make
a better state,” Governor Arnall
unanimously was elected as a life
member of the association. He
echoed the sentiments of Mc-
Donald and urged the members
of the association to continue
their efforts, not only for better
roads, but also for better schools
and better housing. Said he:
“During the war, we couldn’t
build roads, but now we’re in a
position to’Start doing something
to get Georgia out of the mud.
Already, for this year, we’ve let
contracts for $37,000,000 worth
of work, the first step in the
three-year $90,000,000 road pro
gram we already have planned
and financed. It’s just a begin
ning and at first we’re doing only
the things that are necessary.
But we’re making a start and I
am hopeful we won’t stop until
we finish the job.”

Governor Urges
Renewed Effort
To Punish Mob
Declaring that civilized people
everywhere are incensed over the
wanton slaying of two Negroes
and their wives by a band of
armed men in Walton County,
Gov. Ellis Arnall has requested
state and local officials to redou
ble their efforts to identify and
punish the members of the mob.
The governor asserted:
“I am asking the state and lo
cal officials to redouble their ef
forts to ferret out the members
of the mob who lynched the four
Negroes in Walton County.
’ “The Federal Government is
• rendering full cooperation in the
search. The Federal Bureau of In
vestigation has agents at work
( on the case.
“Rewards now total $12,500 for
information leading to the ap
prehension and conviction of the
gang that committed the mass
. murders and massacre.
“Civilization is incensed over
J this atrocity. The guilty parties
. must be brought to justice.”
Since the governor issued the
. above statement, the rewards
have increased to above 30 thou-
• sand dollars.

Nation Expected
To Copy Georgia’s
Training Program
The forestry departments of
the other 47 states may soon be
following Georgia’s lead in es
tablishing an “on-the-job” train
ing project for veterans in their
employ.
This was disclosed this week
by State Forester J. M. Tinker,
who announced that his depart
ment’s training program for vet
erans had been distributed to the
state foresters of the other
states, and that an enthusiastic
response was received from most
of them.
The course of training covers
all phases of forestry and leads
to tne position of lorester’s aide,
at an established salary of $2,600
per year.
Several industries in the state
which deal with timber have in
dicated an interest in the use of
this same program for their em
ployes. On request, the depart
ment of forestry provides this
course of training without
