Says Farmers
Receive Scant
Consideration
“Labor is well organized in this
country and so is industry, and
both are trying to dictate to the
Government while the farmers,
who produce the most important
thing in our national life—food—
receive scant consideration,” de
e ared W. M. Storey, secretary of
the Chattooga County chapter
of the Georgia Bureau, in an ad
vertisement in this week’s News
calling attention to an annouce
ment that the organization will
make a strong campaign for
more members.
“We are not asking for special
privileges but we do feel that
farmers should receive a just
share of what they create,” said
Mr. Storey. “The only way ze
farmers can expect to get just
treatment is through organiza
tion, and we propose to back the
efforts of the farm bureau lead
ers of the state and nation with
an active chapter in which are
enlisted the majority of the farm
ers of our county,” he added.
Committees in the county are
calling personally on every farm
er to ask him to join or to renew
his membership for the next
year. Chattooga County had 208
members at the close of 1945. To
date this year, there are only
150 who have joined, which in
cludes both new and old members
who have renewed.

Serious Teacher
Shortage Faced
In Coming Year
Georgia is now facing one of
the most serious teacher short
ages in the history of its public
schools, according to Dr. A. J.
Allman, assistant state school su
perintendent.
More remunerative positions in
the stenographic and mercantile
fields have caused some of the
instructors to leave the class
room. Furthermore, with the war
over, a number of teachers are
‘returning to their former occu
pation of housewife. Then, too,
said Dr. Allman, the colleges are
not turning out as many teach
ers as heretofore.
So, in spite of the recent 50
per cent increase in salary for
the instructors, the personnel
problem looms large and some
thing of a crisis is at hand With
the opening of the fall term.
Last year, seven thousand
Georgia teachers departed from
the school profession, whereas
the number of new recruits total
ed only 445, or less than one
fourteenth the number leaving.
The new pay schedule elevates
Georgia’s teacher-salary scale to
a point above all the other
Southeastern states, but it must
become better stabilized before
many teachers can be drawn in
from out of the state. However,
quite a number of Georgians
teaching in other states want to
come home, and these are mak
ing inquiry as to the improved
rate of compensation, Allman as
serted. But as yet, he continued,
the 50 per cent raise is only for
the last four months of this year
and its continuance thereafter is
still just a promise, although it
seems certain on account of the
position taken by the winning
candidate for governor in the
recent primary.

The building will have two
stories, and in addition to the
theater on the ground floor, there
will be three store rooms. One of
these has already been leased to
rhe Charley Esserman Co., of
Rome, and will feature a line of
ready-to-wear clothing for men
and women. On the second floor,
there will be a number of offices
for rent. The size of the building
will be 80 feet by 130 feet and
will be a welcome addition to the
business section of the town,
which is sorely in need of office
space. It is expected that con
struction will be completed about
Jan. 1, 1947.
Also under construction and
nearing completion is a new store

Lyerly Masonic Lodge
Members Enjoy a
Barbecue Labor Day
The Lyerly Masons and their
I families enjoyed a de ightfully
prepared barbecue and Brunswick
• stew at Dean Springs on Labor
Day.
Dean Springs is a beautiful
weeded pasture on the farm of
Mark Strawn: a more suitable
• place could not have been found
| in the county.
This was the second annual
picnic and barbecue the Lyerly
Masons have held for their fami
lies and friends. The wives
brought in an abundance of de
lightful food and coca-colas and
lemonade were plentiful. Many
said it was the most food they
had seen since the war.
Many lodges were represented
and some outstanding Masons
were present. Past Grand Master
Dewey Wollestein and Raymond
| Daniel enjoyed the feast heartily.
Mr. Whitehead, of Cherokee
i Lodge, also was present and seem
ed to enjoy it all.
More than two hundred were
there and all had a deliglitful
time.
Bob Kimbell is a wizard at pre
paring stew and barbecue. He
has been given a large pot by
Mr. Lovett especially for the pur
nose. So with the help of Mr.
Greer, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Gravely,
Mr Adams, Mr. Strawn and Mr.
Brison and a few others, it seems
we may have a few more feasts.
