Broomtown Gentry
True-Blooded Americans
Well-Loved Citizen
Young 4 s Next One
Spelling a Spell
Earl Gaylor Also Prince
*
BROOMTOWN GENTRY
Over in Broomtown, Georgia,
near the Georgia-Alabama line,
about 14 miles —as the cow grazes
—from Lyerly, live the Sham
blins, Toles, Dohertys, Kelletts,
Martins, Leaths, Rattrays, Weav
ers, Powells, Barclays and others.
There are two Shamblin fami
lies, lour Powells and two Bar
clays.
TRUE-BLOODED AMERICANS
All live in peace. They are peo
ple who love God, regard friends
and are loyal to country. The
older ones have about lived all
their years in Broomtown and
are true-blooded Americans. The
little white frame church, which
guarded the sleeping places of
loved ones, is burned and a brick
church is being built.
WELL-LOVED CITIZEN
“Men may come and men may
go," but Mr. Owings, thank Prov
idence, goes on forever, is the
paraphrase which citizens of Ly
erly use with regard to J S.
Owings.
Mr. Owings is truly a munici
pal benefactor. He either gets
the thing desired or sees how it
can be gotten and given. Water
works, city power plant (now
part of a commercial system ! are
all due to the well-loved and
highly estemed patriarch
YOUNG AS NEXT ONES
“He is as young as the next
one,’’ his host of friends deciare.
“He can sawmill as fast or as
accurate as the youngest cub. We
would never have any labor trou
ble if all of the people were like
Mr. Owings. And he’s pure gold
as a friend, too.
YOUTH DELINQUENCIES
“Juvenile delinquencies are due
„,to community failures,” is tht»
well-taken stand by Assistant U.
S, Attorney General Theron S
Caudle. Georgia has 159 counties
with only 16 juvenile courts and
its training schools are over
crowded. Measures to readjust,
recreate and train the child are
urged by Attorney Caudle
EARL GAYLOR ALSO PRINCE
Earl Gaylor is a prince as well
as an EARL, so his many friends
say. He is interested in every
thing which interests his home
town of Lyerly. He will drive by
in the latest model car and then
climb up on a truck with fresh
cut lumber and help unload it.
“Earl Gaylor is no respecter of
jobs,” so his many iriends point
out.
SPELLING A SPELL
Up in the good county of Wal
ker and the good town of La-
Fayette lives a brilliant thinker,
splendid speaker and versatile
citizen. He has held too many
offices to endeavor here to men
tion. All of his have been so.
He is “Ted” Rosser. In his dic
tion and especially his spelling
and pronunciation, he is most
painstaking. Recently, a legal
brief, under Mr. Rosser’s scrut
iny, included the two British
names spelled “Chalmondlay”
and “Beauchamp,” respectively
pronounced “Chumly” and “Bee
cham.”
Brother Rosser gave the good
old American pronunciation, as
most Americans would. When
given the English pronunciation,
Brother Rosser repeated them
over. Then one of his friends
said, “How do you pronounce
‘Beecham’?” “Chumly,” flashed
Brother Rosser.

State Assembly
Favors Sales Tax
To Up Revenue
Members of the general assem
bly say Georgia must have addi
tional revenue for schools and
other essential services, and the
best way to get it is a general
sales tax.
Cooperating in an Associated
Press survey, an overwhelming
majority of legislators declare
new revenue must be found, and
more than half favor adopting a
sales tax.
Out of 40 members, only two
expressed belief that Georgia’s
financial program could be re
duced, and only three thought
that additional expenditures ad
vocated by Gov.-Nominate Tal
madge could be financed out of
the present income.
Twenty-two favored some form
of sales tax, and seven were op
posed. Eleven were undecided or
declined to take a stand.
Twenty-seven members were
convinced that no material re
duction could be made in appro
priations, and 30 thought new
revenue would be required. Elev
en were undecided or refused to
comment.
LOCAL GRID TEAM

National Teacher
Council Studies
Georgia Program
Two hundred delegates to the
National Council on Cooperation
in Teacher Education, which re
cently held its clinic work week!
in Atlanta, learned first-hand of
this state’s method for prepara
tion of prospective teachers and j
of Georgia’s other opportunities,
in education.
Claiming the clinic spotlight |
were two Georgia state coun-1
cils, one for white and one for
colored, with additional activi
ties for the work week includ
ing field trips to West Georgia
College, the Atlanta Area Teach
er Education Service and work
shop plans for experienced teach
ers.
Chairman of the planning
group was Dr. L. D. Haskew, of
Emory University. Co-workers
were L. M. Lester, state director
of Teacher Training; R. L. Cou
sins, state director of Negro ed
ucation, and J. H. Cook, coordi
nator of in-service education.
Dr. Karl W. Bigelow ,of New
York, chairman of the national
council, stated that Georgia was
chosen as the site for the clinic
“because of the many enterprises
under way in teacher education
and because of the cooperation
among all agencies concerned
with teacher education.”
Dr. R. O. Grant to Fill
Baptist Pulpit Sunday
The Rev. Ben C. Scarborough;
and family are attending the
Georgia Baptist convention in i
Savannah this week. After the|
close of the convention they will]
remain in Savannah for a brief;
visit with relatives.
In the absence of the Rev. Mr.
Scarborough, Dr. R. O. Grant,
professor of religious education
at Shorter College-, Rome, will
preach at both services next Sun
day, Nov. 17, at the First Bap
tist Church.
Georgia School Needs
Outlined by Allman
“The problems of education
will be solved when business peo
ple realize that education is an
investment.”
Thus declared Dr. J. I. Allman,
assistant state superintendent of
schools, who pointed out that
higher educational levels raise
the earning power of the public
and create markets for goods
which go with a higher standard
of living.
Declaring that an overhauling
of the entire educational system
oi the state is long overdue, Dr.
Allman said it must recognize the
fact that fewer high school grad
uates now attend college. Train
ing for making a living must be
provided for the 94 per cent of
high school graduates who do not
attend college, as well as prepar
ation for higher education for |
the 6 per cent who do go to co)- j
lege, he said.
The educator listed the “three!
crying needs of Georgia educa-j
tion” as (1) better school buses; ■
(2) better school buildings, and 1
(3) a 12th grade for all schools

Farm Bureau
Over Goal In
Member Drive
This week the state Farm Bu
reau is having its annual meet
ing in Macon. The outstanding
speakers will be Gov.-Elect Eu
gene Talmadge, H. L. Wingate,
Congressman Stephen Pace, Sen
ator Richard B. Russell, Lieut.-
Gov.-Elect M. E. Thompson and
other outstanding leaders of the
state.
It is doubtful if there is an
other organization in the state
or the nation that can draw the
outstanding state and national
leaders together at a meeting
like the farmers can. They are
interested in our problems be
cause they know the farmers are
the backbone of the nation and
when the farmers prosper every
body else prospers. Yet the state
and national leaders’ hands are
tied if we, as farmers, don’t join
together as an organization and
present to them our problems.
In this section of the state in
Chattooga County we are away
out in front with members. We
now have over 500 members be
longing to the Farm Bureau and
a good-sized delegation is attend
