LYERLY PROGRESSES
"Lyerly citizens are moving
steadily ahead, programs having
been adopted for paving a num
ber of streets and installation
of a water work system that will
be decided improvements. There
are a number of other plans
needed, such as the clean
mg-up of rubbish and weeds
from vacant property. Better
ment comes slowly, but all is
well if the betterment be under
taken.
HATS OFF TO LADDIES
Summerville folk, and those of
other localities should give even
higher praise to the young men
of the Summerville Volunteer
Fire Department, who labor un
der most trying circumstances
without compensation or other
rewards. Serious fire losses have
been prevented by the depart
ment and they have become
checked by the young men who
work in cold and rain. The only
gift in exchange that the depart
ment asks is that the citizens
help in prevention of fires. They
can do thus where the firemen
cannot.
FEMININITY HAS PLACE
If the Lyerly post office has
taken on an added atmosphere
of refinement, charge it not to
Postmaster J. C. Williams and
assistant, “Jim" Rose. They have
always had their air of eclat.
This new charm is of the female
of the species in Mrs. Frances
Jackson, who, as she tersely says,
is “just learning the business.”
Mrs. Jackson was a schoolteach
er until she went behind the let
ter boxes. She brings a decided
bit of grace and charm to the
office.
COFFEE CLUB FORMED
Summerville is happily carry
ing on the only organization of
its kind in history. It is known
as the “Unauthorized, unortho
dox and Unofficial Coffee Club
of Summerville, U. S. A.” Its
president is J. G. Turner ancj its
members include in addition to
Mr. Turner, Marshall Lowry, A.
S. Morgan, Mid M. Allen, "The
Pledger Boys,” Mrs. Paul Weems
and Mrs. Raymund Daniel. The
conclaves are held at Pless Res
taurant and are convened “at
any time.” Discussions of every
sort and kind are in order and
snap your fingers at him,.“who
cries, hath enuf.’ ”
SPELL COFFEE FOR US
Anent the Coffee Club how
would it look spelled without one
single letter now used. “It can’t
be done," says one. Kauphy (we
spelled it a new way then) mem
bers of the Coffee Club say the
Kauphy is just as good as coffee
and is lots easier to spell. It is
one of the few words that can
be changed entirely by not us
ing one of the original letters.
A. J. GAYLER GOES HOME
A. J. Gayler, retired veteran
railroad man, has put up for ever
his working tools and "gone
home.” The “going” was like he
had lived—peaceful, brave and
prepared. News columns have
told of the 75 years of his life.
He was with only one railroad—
the Central of Georgia and had
served with it 38 years. He
slipped into the New Land March
7. The only complaint he ever
voiced was that he could not
keep on working and that there
was any retirement rule. His life
was clean and RESPECTABLE
and what more could one ask
to leave as an heritage? We
quote (freely) the blessed old
scripture:
“Oh, man, what doth the Lord
require. of thee, except to have
mercy, ’to do justly and to walk
humbly before thy God?” Mr.
Gayler met these requirements.
This was the heritage he left.
BUS BANS BERRY
If J. E. Berry, of Summerville,
troes any where to buy baoy
chicks, he will either take a pri
vate bus, train or plane. Quite a
few days ago he went to Rome
and bought 50 baby chicks. He
bought his bus ticket home and
with chicks with air-hold box,
Mr. Berry proceeded to board the
bus or attempted to climb the
bus with his precious cargo.
"Where are you going with that
box?” called the bus driver.
“To Summerville,” came the
polite reply.
"Chickens don’t ride my bus,”
less calmly answered the driver.
“I am going to hold them in
my lap," said Mr. Berry.
"You can hold ’em in your hat
as far as I go,” said the driver.
A rule is a rule and the rule is
no chickens ride my bus.
All of which meant Mr. Ber
ry had to go back to the bus sta-

Sugar Dealers May Note
Apply for Adjustments
On Inventories
Sugar wholesalers and retail
ers may new apply for adjust
ments of their allowable inven
tories E. Burns Brooks, OPA
branch sugar director, said to
day in Atlanta.
These adjustments, Brooks dis
closed, became effective March
14, 1947, and are being made be
cause the higher levels of rations
effective after April 1, 1947, and
the use of 10-pound consumer
stamps instead of five-pound
stamps make it necessary for the
wholesalers and retailers to have
larger inventories so that they
may satisfactorily fulfill the de
mands of their customers.
OPA’s action provides for an
adjustment of 10 per cent in the
allowable inventories of whole
salers; 30 per cent for chain re
tailers operating four or more
stores registered together; and
40 per cent for other retailers.
Brooks stated applications for
adjustments of firms in Georgia
must be filed on OPA Form R
-382, with the Sugar Branch Of
fice 449 West Peachtree Street,
N. E., Atlanta.

ESPY TO ASK ALL
If all Summerville receives a
wedding invitation, just accept
it and remember that Col. T. J.
Espy, capable, versatile, efficient
Summerville attorney, says that
“if I ever get married I will ask
all Summerville. It all happened
because Mr. Espy went to Wash
ington, D. C„ and reports were
circulated that the colonel took
him a wife while there. The re
port brought the statement made
above. And the township waits!
GETS PHOTO IN LIFE
Fred Aldred, of Summerville,
is one of the few men whose
picture was recognized in Life
by readers of Life Magazine.
There was no mention made of
the picture being the likeness
of Mr. Aldred, but his many
friends immediately knew who it
was. All of which brought a vol
uminous telegram from a friend
in New York, sent COLLECT. “If
I had known from whom it came
and what it said, I would never
have paid for it,” said Mr. Aid
red.
“LAY ’EM AWAY PLAN”
Paul Weems, Summerville fu
neral director, than whom there
is no whoomer, who has been ill
for over a year, is perhaps the
best-loved man in Summerville,
has scores of callers each day.
Many awiticism is passed, but
Many a witicism is passed, but
the one Mr. Weems likes most is
Brother Weems, I hope you will
continue to improve and will
soon be putting them on the
“lay away plan.’’ Just for those
who have not seen Mr. Weems
lately, he looks like a snappy
football fullback.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1947
Fish in Georgia
Still Reluctant
Unfavorable weather and
high and muddy waters con
tribute to the prevailing ac
counts of poor fishing over the
state, according to field reports
of the state game and fish
commission.
Almost all the rivers in
South Georgia are nearly out
of their banks, with the Okefe
nokee still too high for exten
sive angling .activities.
From the North Georgia
lake have come reports of a
few bass catches.
Election Safeguards
Nullified, Declare
Unit-Vote Advocates
■ Holding that unless the coun
ty-unit system instead of the
popular vote system is employed
in the general election, electoral
contests in Georgia will be de
cided by the general election in
stead of the Democratic primary,
proponents of the county-unit
plan waged a vigorous, hard
fought battle in the state legis
lature to substitute that system
in the general election.
The proponents viewed the is
sue as one of whether the small
er counties or the big-city ones
would control Georgia’s elections
and governmental affairs.
Opponents of the constitution
al amendment charged it was
an effort of a political group to
gain control of the state, and
that the popular vote method
was needed in the general elec
tion to balance off the county
unit method in the primary.
Advocates of the system coun
tered with assertion that the op
ponents, or those favoring the
popular vote plan, were trying
to set up a political machine
that would run Georgia’s affairs
from the cities and through ma
nipulation of bloc votes concen
trated or controlled largely in
the big-population centers. They
declared opponents of the biil
were the same forces that op
posed the white primary and
Registration measures.
Requiring a two-thirds vote to
pass, the county-unit amend
ment failed to muster the con
stitutional majority of 137 in the
House, but lost by a vote of 129
in its favor to 49 against. Later
the measure was reconsidered,
but with a vote of 116 to 69, it
again failed to receive the legal
requirement.
'Army Week’ to Be
Observed Apr. 6-12
ATLANTA, March 18 —"A
strong America is a peaceful
America" has been selected as
the national theme for this
year’s observance of Army Week,
April 6 to 12, Lt.-Gen. Oscar W.
Griswold, commanding general
of the Third Army, announced
today.
In no case, Gen. Griswold em
phasized, will Army Day or Army
Week be "celebrated.” The pur
pose of the observance, he states,
is to “honor American soldiers
living and dead, who did so much
to make peace possible; to in
form the public of the new
peace-time pattern of national
security which is being devel
oped and of army assignments
at home and abroad.”
In all activities in the Third
Army area—Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Ten
.nessee —it is planned to acquaint
the citizens with the relation
ship between an adequate army
and national security and the
role of the entire army, which
includes the National Guard, Or
ganized Reserve Corps and the
Officer’s Training Corps. These
form the national security estab
lishment for the maintenance of
peace which has been won at so
great a price, the general said.
April 6, traditionally observed
as Army Day, is Easter Sunday.
Therefore, Monday, April 7, has
been designated as Army Day.
Churches throughout the seven
southeastern states have been
invited to include players for the
army in the services on April 6.
Many army post and installa
tions will hold “open house” at
some time during the week and
in numerous cases army troops
will join veterans’ organizations,
patriotic societies and youth
units in colorful parades. Civic
bodies in numerous cities and
towns have expressed their in
tentions to hold luncheon and
banquet observances.
When snakes shed their skins,
even the covering of the cornea
of the eye is shed.

Tax Reduction Ban
Killed by Author
A proposed measure in the
Georgia Legislature which would
have eliminated the deduction j
of Federal income taxes from j
state tax returns was killed by ,
its author, Rep. Lewis Wilson of ;
Bibb County, who asked the i
House Ways and Means Commit- ’
tee to bury his bill.
Wilson explained that such ac
tion was taken in view of recent
House approval of a state sales
tax.

Farm Bureau
Membership
Stands at 526
“Last year our county farm
bureau was built here in the
‘ county, membership ran up 526,”
according to a statement by W.
W. Story, secretary of the Chat
tooga Farm Bureau. “This spring
we have four community chap
| ters that are set up in the com
| munities; they are at Gore, Te
! loga, Holland, colored, and Oak
Hill, colored. These communities
(are going to have their regular
meetings and sponsor different
farm activities in their commu
nity, which will make the com
munity a better place to live.
Progress is made only through
organizing and working together
and we hope before this year
ends that we will have communi
ty farm bureau chapters in each
community in the county, hold
ing regular meetings.”
Through this kind of work and
working together for better
farming practices, community
and home life is the only way
that will go forward and make
progress as it should.
Labor Urged to Defy Law
According to the Atlanta Jour
nal of Thursday, Feb. 27, and the
Atlanta Constitution of Friday,
Feb. 28, members of the Atlanta
Federation of Trades were ad
vised by Fulton County Repre
sentative Cicero Kendrick -‘to
ignore the two labor bills passed
i by the Georgia Legislature.”
These measures were spon
sored by the Georgia Farm Bu
reau Federation after receiving
the unanimous indorsement of
the voting delegates at the an
nual convention held in Macon
last November. The legislation to
which Mr. Kendrick referred
passed the House by a vote of
157 to 28. while the senate gave
unanimous indorsement to the
measure.
In addition to advising or
ganized labor to defy the law,
leaders of the Atlanta Federa
tion of Trades are quoted as fol
lows: “Organized labor ought to
run Wingate out of Georgia.”
! The group was also urged to “run
Herschel Lovett out of Georgia."
: Mr. Lovett is a member of the
general assembly from Laurens
County and he, with others, in
troduced the farm bureau “right-
I to-work” bill.
William A. Cetti, vice-presi
dent of the Atlanta labor group,
“suggested the establishment of
I co-operative markets as a means
of retaliation against farmer
pressure for enactment of the
i legislation.” In this way, he con
i tinued, “labor organizations in
i Atlanta alone could raise as
| much as $500.00 for establish
ment of markets and a fleet of
trucks. We will then go into the
! states that do have a closed shop
j law, buy our provisions there,
! and bring them back to Georgia.
That is one way we can slap
Wingate in the face. If the farm
ers of Georgia don’t like organ
ized labor, let’s buy from states
that do.”
In view of the position taken
by Rep. Kendrick of Fulton
County, and other labor leaders,
it is imperative that Resolution
No. 10 be passed by the House
: to protect the interest of farm
| ers and other law-abiding groups
j in Georgia.
County Garden Club

Maybe You’re Just
Waiting for This
Were you among those who in
recent times owned a house and
I wanted to move in or something
but couldn’t get the tenant out?
Wasn’t it aggravating?
Well, if you were, your day has
j come, if a bill passed by the
! Georgia House of Representa
i tives is given final enactment
I into law.
Under the measure’s provi
| sions, if you want the house, give
i the tenant 60 days’ notice you
desire to repossess it. At end of
i that period, said tenant must
iget out or object to doing so in
| court.
If he loses his case, he will
have to pay double rent for time
.he occupies house after court
: decision —unless court finds for
said defendant.
Treasury Launches
Bond-a-Month Plan
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March
19—Secretary of the Treasury
John W. Snyder announced here
today during a national Savings!
Bond conference that a “Bond
a-Month plan” will shortly be :
offered by banks to their de-!
positors. He invited all banks to
participate.
The plan was explained byl
Robert V. Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank of
Washington and chairman of the
Treasury Borrowing Committee.
It operates this way: The deposi
tor signs a card authorizing his
bank to deduct the purchase
price of a bond from his check
ing account. The bank issues the
bond at its convenience during
the month and mails to the cus
tomer. The plan will be very
helpful to professional people,
merchants, farmers and other
individuals.
Sanford Dunson Initiated
Into Phi Eta Sigma at Duke
DURHAM, N. C., March 17—
Sanford Allen Dunson, of Sum
merville, is among the 16 fresh
men at the Duke University j
who have recently been initiated j
into Phi Eta Sigma, national!
honorary freshman scholastic
fraternity, at Duke. To be eligi
ble for the honorary a student!
must have made a 2.25 average
or above for each semester hour
during »his first semester in col
lege. The Duke chapter of Phi
Eta Sigma was established in
1931 to promote scholastic inter
est among freshman men.
Fishing Permits Go
On Sale April Ist
Anglers in Georgia may obtain
their new 1947-48 fishing permits
on April 1, at which time the
1946-47 licenses are due to ex
pire.
It is believed the sale will
reach approximately 150,000 li
censes this year, as compared
with less than 90.000 in 1946. and
65.000 in 1945.
The new permit will resemble
the current issue, with its num
ber superimposed on the out
line of a fish. State regulations
and creel limits will be given on
the reverse side.
Although the commission pre
dicted some time ago that the
hunting and fishing pressure
.would be far greater than m any
I previous year, the sales of hunt
ing licenses far exceeded expec
tations. The fishing license sales
estimate is considered by the
commission to be conservative.

Conservation of
Soil Goals Set
Up for 1947
At a recent meeting of the
Chattooga County Soil Conser
vation Committee, called by Mr.
W. M. Story, one of Coosa River
S. C. S. district supervisors, soil
I conservation goals were dis
cussed and the following were
set up for 1947:
Terracing, 1,000 Acres—This
doubles the acreage actually es
tablished in 1946. but in view of
brighter prospects for addition
al terracing equipment and the
hopes for a better spring than
Last year’s, the committee be
lieves this goal may be reached.
Harvesting Legume Seed, 4,000
Acres—This is one of those dou
ble-action practices whereby the
farmer may receive payments
through the Production Market
ing Administration <AAA) for
establishing of legumes to be left
on the land or turned under plus
a payment for harvesting the
seed if he so desires.
Sericea, 500 Acres—The com
mittee believes there .is hardly a
farm in Chattooga County that
! couldn't be improved by estab
lishing at least a small acreage
of sericea either as a meadow
strip, water disposal area, or on
steeper slopes and badly eroded
areas.
Lime, 5.000 Tons—ln 1946 3,250
tons of lime were sold through
the County Soil Association
alone. The county has spreading
facilities at a small cost, depend
ing much upon distance of farm
from railroad and conditions of
fields to be limed. The county
agent will gladly supply any fur
ther information on this spread
! ing service.
Phosphate, 1,500 Tons—Pres
ent prospects for securing phos
phate are not so bright, but the
! committee believes that during
i the course of the year this goal
| may be reached.
Rotations of Small Grain (Les
!pedeza) Lespedeza, Raw Crops,
125 Farms; Demonstration, 12
Farms—This includes the farms
j that have reached the point
where we think they may be used
i for demonstrations before the
’ end of the year, so that we may
' take people to these farms and
show’ them what we are striving
to secure in a complete soil con
servation plan. If the tentatively
planned Coosa River Districts’
10th anniversary rally is held
next September, these farms will *
be considered in making banker
) awards.
Tree Flanting, 50 Acres—Our
tree-planting goal for this year
I includes only selecting the areas
most needing to be planted to
trees and taking orders for the
' seedlings for next year as pres
ent by the requests for seedlings
far outnumbers tne supply and
orders, should be made months
in advance.
Pasture Improvement, 1,200
Acres—We can not emphasize
; pasture improvement too much,
especially fertilizing them. They
respond to fertilizer to the same
extent as do field crops, azyl
• one of the best ways to control
I weeds is the application of fer
i tilizer.
Mr. Story is one of our best
j farmers and as a leader in many
j agricultural activities, has un
! ceasingly striven for the best in
! terest of the farmer. Let’s back
him up 100 per cent by trying
| to make this the best year ever
1 in the carrying out of soil con
serving practices in Chattooga
County.
