Farm Bureau
Members Enjoy
Barbecue Friday
The annual picnic of the Chat
tooga County Farm Bureau was
held last Friday at the fish
hatchery, with over 800 people
in attend) ance. Some of the farm
ers were disappointed that two
of the speakers, Tom Linder and
Judge Claude H. Porter, weren’t,
able to be there, but everyone
enjoyed the speakers who were
there.
W. M. Storey, secretary of the
farm bureau, said, “We feel that
when we have a meeting like the
one we had Friday that the farm
ers not only get a lot out of be
ing with their neighbors and dis
cussing their problems, but when
we can have speakers like H. L.
Wingate, president of the Geor
gia Farm Bureau, and Henderson
Lanham, congressman-elect, who ■
know how farmers can be affect
ed by legislation that is passed
in Washington, it is worth any
farmer’s time and effort to come
out and hear them speak.
“They are our representatives,”
Mr. Storey continued, “and they
want to know our problems, and
will have to know them before
they can help us very much in
Washington. We have to let them
know our problems as an organi
zation. We hope that by next
year every farmer in Chattooga
County will be a member of the
farm bureau and then we will be
able to request our rights and get
something done about Tt.
“In the near future we are go
ing to put on a membership drive
and we hope that every farmer
in the county will join. The dues
are just $3 per year. One dollar
of this is kept in the county to
put on picnics and carry on our
business. The other two dollars
are sent to the state office, and
one of these is then sent to our
national farm bureau to carry on
our business in Washington. Out
■of this, each member gets a
monthly paper from the state
and one from the national farm
bureau.
“Again we hope,” Mr. Storey
concluded, “that we can have ev
ery farmer in the county a mem
ber of the farm bureau next year,
and we can if each of us will
make an effort to join and to
see that our neighbors join too.”
Howard Baker is the president
of the county farm bureau.

Eighteen-Y ear-Olds
Must Register
Eighteen-year-olds must regis
ter with local draft boards.
Col.. H. Cliff Hatcher, state di
rector of Selective Service, said
this week that the liability of
men, including 18-year-olds, to
register as provided for in the
Selective service act remains un
changed, and the regulations re
lating to registration continue in
full force and effect.
Although 18-year-olds are not
liable for service under the re
cent amendments of the Selec
tive Service law, this does not re
lieve them of the responsibility
to register. Reports received at
state headquarters that 18-year
olds are not registering has caus
ed some alarni. Colonel Hatcher
stated that severe penalties may
be imposed by law on those who
fail to register. It is the desire to
clear up any misapprehension
among parents, individuals con
cerned and interested parties,
that may now exist concerning
registration of 18-year-olds.
There are 188 local draft board
offices in Georgia, one or more
in each county, and men 18 thru
45 who have not registered, are
encouraged to do so immediately
at the nearest draft board in the
county in which they live.
At the time of registering, any
person 18 years o sage will be is
sued a notice of classification
bearing the typewritten notation,
“Unclassified pursuant to Public
Law No. 379.” No further action
on the part of the local board
i will take place until the regis
trant reaches his 19th birthday,
at which time the local board will
take classification action to con
sider him available for service.

PLAN FOR PALESTINE PARTITION . . . This map explains
the plan for the federalization of Palestine, which has been
suggested by the Anglo-American cabinet committee. Under
the proposal, government areas would locate in the region
known as Negev (A), and Jerusalem and Bethlehem (B) or
their environs. Zionist area (C) would comprise about 1.500
square miles, with the exception of Jaffa, which would remain
Arab. White area also would be Arab land.
Special Services
At Methodist
Church Slated
A series of special services will.
begin at the Summerville Meth- 1
odist Church at 8 o’clock p. m.
Wednesday, Aug. 21. These serv
ices will continue through Sun
day, Sept. 1. The public is cordi
ally invited to attend these serv
ices and all Christian people are
urged to pray to the end that
these efforts may produce great
spiritual results.
The paster, the Rev. Wilson J.
Culpepper, will do the preaching.
Services will be held nightly on
week days. In addition, several
youth and children’s services will
be held. The Rev. Mr. Adams,
pastor of the Lyerly charge, will
assist with the music. All of those
in the community who like to
sing are urged to be present and
help with the singing.
“It is hoped that all of our
church members will feel that
there is upon them a heavy re
sponsibility for the success of
these services.” the Rev. Mr. Cul
pepper stated. “Let each work
and pray to the end that he may
do much to make these efforts
successful.”
Georgians U r ged
By Arnall to Aid
In Fat Campaign
Gov. Ellis Arna’l, stressing the
necessity for more fats to make
soaps, fabrics and other prod
ucts, has appealed to all Geor
gians to contribute used fats from
their kitchens to a special cam
paign now under way.
“Everyone wants to do his
part,” he said. “If he realized
how greatly used fats are need
ed to produce more soap, lino
leum, nylons, fabrics, radios, re
frigerators and other electrical
appliances, the fat-salve collec
tors would have their hands full.”
The campaign now under way
is being sponsored by the Levtjr
Brother Co., of Cambridge, Mass.,
in cooperation with the Ameri
can aFt-Salvage Committee.
Every day, hundreds of letters
are received by the department
of agriculture and the American
Fat-Salvage Committee regard
ing the relations between fat sal
vage and soap.
Industry is enabled to make six
bars of laundry soap that it oth
erwise could not have made,
when a housewife turns in one
pound of used cooking fat. From
one pound of used fat, approxi
mately one large box of packaged
laundry soap, six bars of laun
dry soap or above five bars of
toilet soap are made.
Consumers would have gotten
13 per cent less soap in 1945, or
the Government would have had
to divert food fat to the manu
facture of soap, if it had not been
for the fat salvage.

Milk Deliveries
To Rome Started
Wednesday, Aug. 14, M. T.
Lively, who lives near the fish
hatchery, started delivering milk
to the Southern Dairies in Rome,
according to J. P. Baker, county
agent. Mr. Lively’s dairy has been
inspected and approved for
Grade A milk.
Along with Mr. Lively, there
will be several more farmers
ready to send their milk to Rome
within a few weeks, Mr. Baker
stated. “This might be the start
of a good dairy program in Chat
tooga County. We have been
working on this program for
some time, and have been looking
forward to the day when we
could get a milk route established
for selling wholesale milk out of
the county. This is one more step
forward in diversified farming
here in Chattooga County, and
within a year or two we will have
one or two thousand gallons of
milk going out of the county
daily.”

State Revenues
Up in July 5 But
Short of Budget
Collections by the state depart
ment of revenue for July, 1946,
showed an increase of $1,725,249
over the sai.ie month lats year.
Commissioner M. E. Thompson
has reported.
However, this increase is less
than the amount needed to meet
the quarter’s budget ap it is now
approved, State Auditor B. E.
Thrasher, Jr., has disclosed.
Operating expenses for this
quarter were predicated on the
hoped-for collection of $2,000,000
in excess for each month of the
period, Thrasher said.
Collections are usually low at
this period, and he predicted
that the state’s income for the
present quarter will be less than
required for the budget.
During the last three months
0i the calendar year, the balanc
ing of the books to turn a debt
free state over to the next ad
ministration will be effected, ei
ther by trimming that quarter’s
budget or by increased collec
tions, the state auditor said.
Discussing this quarters bud
get, Thrasher explained that ex
penditures approved amount to
$22,735 249, while last year’s in
come from this quarter was $12,-
629,000. An anticipated collec
tion of an additional $6,000,000
over this figure would have rais
ed this amount to $18,629,000.
The state auditor had planned to
pay the remaining difference of
| approximately $4,000,000 from the
state’s revolving fund, at the
I time the budget was approved.
Revenue collection increases
I reported by Thompson included:
Cigars and cigarettes, $198,607;
malt beverage, $134,257; wine,
i $12,346; liquor, $937,282; wildlife,
$7,478; motor vehicle, $26,617;
motor fuel, $702,275; while de
| creases were reported in income,
$212,379, and ad valorem, $76,654.
