"TIME COPY”—A VERSE
From the published “Time Copy”
Book of Raymund Daniel:
When the last of the forms has
been locked
And the rush of the day is over,
are forgot
And the roar of the press is be
gun.
The hot-hearted machine starts
its grind
On the work for the paper next
day,
With its clippings, reprints and
left-overs,
Features, fancies—“ Time Copy”
—we say.
Hid away in its columns is
laughter,
Or a line where a teardrop may
fall.
It’s reset just to fill out the pa
per—-
Time Copy” we call it—that’s
all.
TO FILL OUT PAPER
“It’s used to fill out the paper—
That’s all.”
HID AWAY IN COLUMNS
"Hid away in its columns is
laughter
Or a line where a teardrop may
fall.”
THIS IS THE STORY
Such is the story of “Time
Copy” which has appeared in
The Summerville News for the
last six months. It has been
kindly and generously received.
It is offered in the spirit of es
teem and friendliness.
UNCENSORED TALES
A group of good Summerville
citizens were standing in front
of the Chattooga County Court
house. They were discussing the
latest story of A. N. (Buck)
White, popular Lyerly citizen.
BUCK WHITE’S STORY
Here is Mi. White's story as
told by a friend. “Buck” is no
fisherman and his story explains
the reason why. He likes to shoot
snakes. By the way, he is quite
a hunter. This includes deer and
fish—and snakes.
SNAKE-FED SQUIRREL
Recently “Buck” saw what ap
peared to be an “undue” snake
on a Florida river bank. He fired
(“Buck” did) and the snake con
tinued to wiggle. Sure of the
snake’s demise, “Buck” cut open
the snake and out hopped a
squirrel. The snake was four and
one-half feet long.
•EALT WITH RABBITS
"Mr. White’s story is quite
true,” opined J. G. Allen, Sr., of
Summerville. “We went to hunt
alligators with dogs,” Mr. Allen
said. “We would pitch a little dog
into the water and fire into the
alligator’s mouth, when he
opened it. Then we would slit
open the alligator and the dog
would hop out. You have to be
careful not to shoot the dog. Al
ligators bite dogs
STICKTIVITY OF LYERLYANS
The sticktivity of Lyerlyans is
proven by the fact that Mrs.
Gordon Wheeler and Mrs. Deed
Martin, former residents of Ly
erly, now living in Summerville,
find each other’s company in
separable and many a lonely
hour is spent by the two when
absent from each other.

gave much and those who gave
all, give and GIVE to the Me

School Buses
Pass Inspection
School transportation has be
come a major phase in the ad
ministration of public education.
From 1930 to 1940 it expanded
until there were nearly 4,000,000
children riding to and from
school daily in 86,000 school
buses which traveled 1,250,000
miles of school bus routes daily.
Today the number of buses
have increased to more than 92,-
000 in the United States. Here in
Georgia the number has in
creased from 1,400 in 1930 to
2,800 in 1946.
In 1939, a conference spon
sored by the National Council of
Chief State School Officers, was
held at the Teachers College at
Columbia University. This con
ference was attended by repre
sentatives from the 48 states.
During this conference minimum
standards for school buses both
from the standpoint of opera
tion and safety were 'discussed,
and minimum standards were
prescribed.
Again in 1945 the same organi
zation sponsored a conference in
which some of the standards as
set up in 1939 were revised and
raised. At the conference a reso
lution was adopted in which each
state was urged to inaugurate
the necessary legislation to in
sure the enforcement of mini
mum requirements for all buses
used in the transportation of
school children.
Georgia as yet does not en
force the minimum school bus
requirements as prescribed by
this conference. But we have leg
islation requiring the annual in
spection of all school buses and
ascertaining if they are in fit
condition for the transportation
of children.
During the war period, the
Georgia state patrol when in
specting school buses, was very
lenient, knowing that parts were
scarce and no new bodies and
few new chassis were obtainable.
Now that repairs can be made
more easily, and old unsafe
bodies and chassis can be read
ily replaced with new ones. There
is no excuse for buses to remain
in operation that are unsanitary
and unsafe.
According to records on file
with the safety division of the
Georgia state patrol, there were
18 school buses inspected in
Chattooga County. Seventeen
passed the inspection and one
failed the inspection.
Os the number failing the in
spection one had improper lights
and improper or insufficient
signs.
The director of the department
of public safety fully realizes the
importance of having buses that
are mechanically safe in opera
tion in each county of our great
state. And if you have even one
bus in operation which is unsafe,
the county board of education
is urged to see that it is repaired
or replaced immediately.
It should be the duty of par
ents, teachers, and civic leadens
to see that all buses in each
county is in good condition and
driven by an experienced capa
ble operator.
Maj. J. Q. Davis, director of the
department of public safety,
praises the fine spirit of co-op
eration on the part of every
school official and school bus
driver throughout the state, and
urges the use of school safety
patrolmen on every school bus,
to help maintain the exceeding
low rate of accidents among the
school children going to and
from school.

Assembly Fails
To Pass Money
✓
Appropriations
Adjourning sinfe die after a
70-day session devoted chiefly to
efforts to further the political
fortunes of Herman Talmadge,
whom it installed illegally in the
governor’s office, the general as
sembly passed no measure to ap
propriate money for the expand
ed services pledged in the 1946
political campaign, and failing I
to enact any new revenue meas- (
ure left Gov. M. E. Thompson \
without sufficient money to meet|
commitments to school teachers!
and other educational employees. I
The closing hours of the ses-|
sion saw belated action upon a
heavily amended “home rule!
bill” that will apply to 103 coun-'
ties and passage of a measure;
to provide a 12th grade for Geor- (
gia’s public schools. '
Gov. Thompson reassured the
Georgia teachers that he would (
provide the funds for their 50(
per cent pledged salary increase, j
although this will involve the I
stripping of many essential state
services and the non-fulfillment
of the Democratic party’s pledge
of more money for roads, col
leges, institutions, the aged, the
tubercular, and for erecting new
farmers’ markets.
Talmadge leaders in the as
sembly blocked early in the ses
sion any consideration of any
revenue measures except the
sales tax bill, which eventually
passed and was sent to the Sen
ate. Debate was in progress when
the decision of the Georgia Su
preme Court, holding Gov.
Thompson’s succession valid and
the attempted installation of
Herman Talmadge unlawful and!
void. Thereupon the Talmadge
forces aligned themselves against
the only remaining revenue
measure and left the Thompson
administration without funds to!
expand services. The Seagate ’
failed to consider the Appro-1
priations Act, which involved ex- (
penditures of more than $38,-|
000,000 in excess of anticipated
state income.
Gov. Thompson promptly an
nounced that the pledge to the
teachers, joined in by every can
didate for governor and lieu
tenant-governor in the regular
Democratic primary of 1946,
would be carried out. This is ex
pected to entail a policy of cur
tailment in other agencies, and •
hopes for increased payments to
old-age pensioners and depend-1
ent children, an expanded rural
road program, new farmers’ mar
kets and expansion of the tuber
cular hospital were abandoned
by most state leaders. Highway
expenditures probably will be cut
sharply as a result of the failure
to provide new revenues.
Responsible state leaders
joined in urging the assembly to
recess until the court decision,
but the House leadership, dom
inated by the Talmadge-Harris
forces, rejected this plan and
most of the assembly's time was
expended upon political meas
ures, debate on the succession
case, and lengthy week-end ad
journments.
Gov. Thompson is not expected
to recall the assembly to consid
er any revenue measures, but will (
carry out his economy plans and
endeavor to finance the state ■
under the old appropriations
act, which continues in effectl
and which is within the limits;
of state income. He appealed to
all agency heads to support his
economy proposals, so that the
crisis in the common schools may
not become more acute and that
j he may personally carry out thei
major party pledge abandoned |
by his opposition.

Fred Starr Speaker
At Junior Woman’s
Club Meeting Here
Mr. Fred F. Starr, regional rep-
( resentative of the community de
velopment of the Georgia Power
Company, came from Rome to
speak to the members of the
Summerville Junior Woman’s
I Club at their regular March
! meeting last Friday.
Mr. Starr spoke on “Civic Im
; provement” and developed the
\ idea that for civic improvement,
! money was necessary, and that
money came from agriculture,
; industry and business. He also
brought out the fact that our
i section is the most highly in
dustrialized in the state. He gave
many interesting statstics to
show the dependence of agricul
; ture, industry and business upon
(each other, and that their suc
cess resulted in mpney for civic
I improvement.
The part that women in any
organization can play is in edu
cation, and religion. Mr. Starr
stated. He stressed the need for
better education to combat the
•problem of juvenile delinquency.
He said women could be instru
: mental in getting higher salaries
for teachers and in overcoming
the stigma of the South being
the nation’s No. 1 economic prob
lem. He especially commended
the club for its interest in the
Cherokee Regional Library and
the Bookmobile and ended by
saying that women were the best
support any project could have
because they always finished
what they started.

Mrs. Daisy K. Jones
Passes Into Beyond
By MISS KATHRYN HENRY
“Death is the festivity that
marks the completion of the
soul.”
( Mrs. Daisy Kirby Jones, aged
82 years after several months of
Illness, passed into the Great Be
yond on March 21, 1947.
All during her Illness, almost
daily one would hear on the
street and in the home “Have
(you heard how Mrs. Jones is to
day?” Her welfare was ever on
the minds and in the hearts of
her friends and fellow citizens.
Since her going away, one hears
of the many thoughtful deeds of
kindness she did for those of
her community. One would say,
“I have always cherished the
note she wrote me when my hus
; band died.” Another would say,
(“The charming note of welcome
1 she wrote me when I came here
(as a bride has always endeared
her to me.” She never failed to
attend the funerals of her
friends, and call after bereave
iments. Her gracious and lovely
( deeds will long live after her to
keep her memory green.
Mrs. Daisy Kirby Jones was
I born in Wilkes County Dec. 6,
' 1864. Her parents were Harriet
Shropshire and Judge Francis
Kirby. Her father was judge of
the superior court for many
i years. His home was located in
a grove of tall trees near what is
known as the Dunaway place,
near the deep spring.
Daisy Kirby was married to Dr.
Robert D. Jones, a young prom
ising physician of this county,
Oct. 7, 1885. Four children were
bom to them. Dr. Jones, one of
the beloved doctors of this coun
ty, died in 1922. She survived her
husband 25 years.
Mrs. Jones was a faithful
Christian, a member of the (
Presbyterian Church. She had!
many outstanding traits of char- ;
acter—a strong personality who i
stood for those virtues that will;
never die. Her stately bearing, (
poise and dignity were part of
her charm.
Her funeral was just as she (
would have liked. It was like a
home-coming for her many rela
| fives. Surrounded by the pres
ence of her relatives and friends,
and masses of flowers, tributes
of their love and esteem. The fu
neral was conducted by Rev. H.
R. Foster, her pastor from the
Presbyterian Church, at 2 p. m.
Sunday afternoon. The rites were
simple. The songs that were sung
were chosen by her. The Howers
were a massed bank of beauty,
filling the entire front of the
altar rail.
She is survived by one broth-,
er, A. D. Kirby, of Scottsboro,
Ala.; three sons, Robert of La-
Fayette; Tom of Macon; Kirby,
of Newbern, N. C.; three grand
children, Mrs. Lanham McCau
ley of Puerto Rico; Robert Jones,
Jr., of LaFayette, and Mrs. C. A.
Armstrong of Macon.
Interment in the family lot
in the Summerville Cemetery.
Out-of-town relatives here
Sunday for the funeral of Mrs.
Jones were Mr. and Mrs. David
Jones and Kathrine Davis of
Fayetteville. N. C.; Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Terry and Sam Terry of
Chattanooga; Mrs. Walter Jones,

Vets Continue
Training, f 3 Rs’
Through VA
j In schools and colleges, in sac
s tory and shop throughout the
. Rome area, an estimated 3,000
veterans are continuing their
- training and education through
> the Veterans Administration.
• To all of them, the monthly
■ check for subsistence is an im
i portant part of living; many
f thousands get it regularly and
. on time, some do not.
> Because recent laws have led
f to many changes in the proced
i ure whereby VA determines the
, eligibility of a veteran to re
? ceive subsistence and the amount
which he may be paid, many
, | veterans do not understand the
:, amounts to which they are en
:i titled. Many more don't get their
I ( checks on time because, through
) ( lack of knowledge of what is re
•! quired of them, they fail to co-
■ operate in the program.
• | Tips on VA Cheeks
>! Here are some tips from the
(Veterans Administration to vet
>; erans who look forward anxious
. Ily each month to that subsist
,’ ence check.
J 1. Always submit the earnings
! report promptly. Once every four
months, VA sends a form for this
report to the veteran to be filled
cut. The amount which a vet
eran earns is not limited; how
ever, under the law, VA cannot
pay subsistence to veterans with
dependents whose income is
more than S2OO a month. For
veterans without dependents the
ceiling is $175.
2. Don’t, VA officials caution,
include subsistence payments as
:an earning. What the Govern
j ment wants to know is a vet
| eran’s total income exclusive of
(subsistence payments.
3. Don’t include occasional
(overtime payments as income.
( Only if overtime is scheduled on
a regular basis, should such pay
ments be listed.
4. Many veterans have had
' subsistence suspended because
the school or place of business
■ where they entered has not been
approved by the state for partic
ipation in the program. A vet
eran should know whether an
Institution or establishment is
approved before he begins his
schooling or training.
5. Some institutions, particu
larly firms offering on-the-job
training have recently been tak
en from the approved list. This
I is because the firm has failed to
provide a genuine training pro
gram. Most employers are will
-1 ing to correct such a situation:
’if they are not, the veteran has
(no alternative but to train else
where if he wishes to continue
to recive subsistence.
6. A veteran is not necessarily
■ required, however, to take re
lated technical instruction at
night. Some employers require it
as a part of their job training
program, others do not. It all de
pends on the type job for which
the veteran is training and the
particular veteran involved. It is
the employer’s responsibility to
determine whether related tech
nical instruction will be required
of a particular veteran.
7. Subsistence checks for oth
er veterans are delayed because
veterans fail to submit evidence
of dependency. To receive the
increased subsistence paid for
dependents, a veteran must sub
mit a certified copy of the pub
lic record of marriage or of the
birth of children or proof of de
pendency for parents.
Above all, VA advises, if there’s
a delay in a check, don’t wait
and sulk, but go to the VA of
fice at Rome and tell a contact
; representative about it. Some
times the VA’s at fault, but in
many other cases, the veter
an himself has failed to supply
the proper evidence to entitle
him to receive a check.
