GIVE TILL IT HURTS
It behooves every citizen of
Chattooga County to give to the
Memorial Home that the veter
ans are sponsoring. If one has
given, let him give again. As has
been said: “Give Until it Hurts.”
PARSON IS ADMITTED
At the last meeting of the Re
contours Club was the admission
of Rev. B. D. (Bill) Ricks, re
cently called pastor of the Lyerly
Baptist Church. As with all new
members, it was necessary for
Brother Bill to prepare and sub
mit a story of the “biggest pre
varication he can.” The new
member offered his experience
with malaria.
TOWN MALARIA,HIT
Brother Ricks told the story of
when he had a charge in a small
town, infested with malaria.
“Why,” said Brother Ricks, the
choir shook so that when the
pastor announced Hymn No. 5,
it landed on No. 127.
QUININE IN MORTAR
“We could not use paper mon
ey for the collection as it would
shake clear out of the windows.
And the building shook so that
when it was built, quinine had
to be mixed with the mortar.”
“Admit Brother Ricks,” said
Brother “Bob” Bagley. “Admit
him,” said Brother Bert Brog
don. “He is admitted,” said Lead
er Brother Jim Thomas.
HORSE ON THE STREET
It was into the busiest section
of the busiest street in Lyerly
that a horse, unharnessed, walk
ed out. Traffic streamed about
him, but it seemed he was guid
ed by some unseen hand. It was
discovered that he was being
steered from the sidewalk by his
owner, with the customary horse
language. “It is a horse on Ly
erly,” said James Hollis. »
NO SHADE TREES
He was a darkey that was
standing near the Summerville
Courthouse. It was the last “cold
spell” and he, too, was shivering.
Chattering away, he said; “You
can shoot me if you catch me
under a shade tree in the middle
of July.”
MODERN WAYS BEST
When industrious Joe Reed
and his charming wife, Mrs.
Reed, drove up in an attractive
old fashioned surry to Gaylor’s
Garage for “air,” they little
know of any unpleasant develop
ment ahead.
HORSE WON’T “START”
While they were getting the
air—“bang” went a tire. Straight
up went the horse and straight
out went Mr. and Mrs. Reed.
Around the garage pranced the
steed. Around the garage danced
Mr. and Mrs. Reed.
SOOTHED BY RAGLAND
It was finally the soothing
work and manner of Ben Rag
land that appeased the horse.
“Give me a modern car every
time for me,” said Mr. Reed.
LYERLY FLOWER GIRL
Mrs. Horace L. Abrams has
graciously offered the subjoined
program.
One cannot behold the beau
ty of all the gorgeous blooming
shrubs and early spring flowers
without associating them with
Mrs. Will Jones, who has devot
ed a greater part of her life in
their cultivation. With her lily
family she succeeded in develop
ing a new iris species which she
named “Margaret Mitchell.”
Health Agencies
Prepared to Fight
If Polio Comes
<
In line with Acting Gov. M. E.
Thompson’s avowed intention to
conserve Georgia’s natural—and
human —resources, the state de
partment of health is working
with the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis and the Red
Cross to be prepared for polio
visitations this summer.
Dr. Dan Eowdoin, epidemiolo
gist of the health department,
has announced that general hos
pitals throughout the state are
being solicited to agree to treat
victims of the dread disease. In
addition, three Georgia doctors
will go to New York for a course
in polio treatment offered by the
Foundation and special study
courses are being provided for
nurses both at Warm Springs
and Atlanta this month.

THOMPSON TELLS
COUNTY HEADS OF
ROAD WORK PLANS
Emphasizing his intention to
see that all Federal funds avail
able to Georgia for highway con
struction were matched by the
state government, so as to per
mit the maximum road program
{ for the state in the next year,
Gov. M. E. Thompson outlined
i his program to Georgia’s coun
ty commissioners this week at
their annual convention at Sa
vannah.
He asserted that the “home
rule bill,” first major measure
to win his approval in the re
; cent legislative session, offered
an opportunity for improved lo
{ cal government, but regretted
I that he did not have opportuni
'ty to approve, as a companion
{measure, legislation to give all
ad valorem tax funds to coun
-1 ties and municipalities to meet
their growing fiscal problems.
“We are going to match every
dollar of Federal funds made
available to Georgia for primary,
secondary or farm-to-market
roads,” Gov. Thompson told the
commissioners. “We are going to
spend money as fairly as we
know how, impartially weighing
the needs of every county and
every section of Georgia. We are
not going to build political roads.
We are not going to build pet
roads. We are going to build
roads for the people who need
them.”
Gov. Thompson explained his
plan to obtain a better highway
maintenance program by use of
state convicts on such work. He
told the commissioners that no
prisoners would be withdrawn
from county camps and that su
pervision of the camps would
rest with the department of cor
rections and proper standards
would be retained for care of the
men employed. By use of better
equipment, and a mechanizadi
tion of the state road system.
The governor called attention
of the commissioners to his re
, port to the legislature as state
{ revenue commissioner, urging
that the state relinquish ad va
lorem taxes to the county and
municipal governments.
“The county commissioners
and the rest of the citizens of
Georgia are entitled to know
that these recommendations,
which would have provided for
the needs of both the state gov
ernment and the local self-gov
ernment units, were rejected,”
he said.
1 The commissioners were in
formed that the state highway
department would be able to
spend $11,000,000 on construction
this year, despite the retrench
ment program, one of the larg
est sums ever provided for road
work in state history.
Chattooga Schools
To Enter U. of Ga.
Art Exhibition
When the schools of Chattooga
County learned that an art ex
hibit was to be held at the Uni
versity of Georgia in Athens on
April 27-29, 1947, and that they
were invited to send entries to
the contest, the decision was
reached to enter the contest as
I a county project. Through the
particiation of a number of
schools, numerous creditable pic
tures of various types were ob
tained. Each school can be proud
of its share in this project be
i cause every picture in the group
i was selected on the basis of
merit in a particular field. The
{ only absolute requirement was
that the picture must be original.
It must not be a copy. Every pic
ture in the group has received
commendation from some source.
New concepts of art were
learned from the art critic, Mr.
. Pearson; from Mr. Lamar Dodd,
' art instructor, and from visiting
teachers.
The idea that the artistic in
istinct is inherent within every
i child is not new, but the revelo
tion that art can be a release for :
emotions like fear and anxiety {
came as something of a surprise.
Leaders in the field of art are
I striving to give every child a
rich art experience as one phase
{of the child’s education. Realiz
ing that all children can enjoy
pan art experience though only a
{few are gifted, they hope ulti
{mately to develop a national art
that is typically American.
In one talk Mr. Pearson stated
{that “Georgia is holding her
own” in the program of art edu
cation. —Elizabeth Jackson.

'Mighty Midgets’
Return to Lake
Winnepesaukah
The feature attraction of Lake
Winnepesaukah’s grand opening
of its 23rd successful season, will
be the return of midget races on
the quarter-mile speedway.
The season which closed Sept.
16 to allow the drivers to make
their winter schedule in Florida
and South Georgia, will re-open
next Sunday, April 27. Bringing
back a number of last year’s fa
vorites, including Lucky Parnell,
co-holder of the track record in
time trials, and holder of the
record for the 20-lap feature
race.
Next Sunday’s race will be
composed of time trials starting
at 1:30 p. m., and seven events
!in the race proper starting
promptly at 2:30 p. m. Early en
tries include Bill and Hank Bla
lock from Atlanta; “Shorty”
Johns, Miami, Fla.; Freddie
Moore, Pensacola, . Fla.; Harry
Hart, Chicago. Ill.; Leonard Cur
ry, St. Paul. Minn.; Bob Johnson,
Philadelphia, Pa.; and Jimmie
Reed, Indianapolis, Ind. A start
ing field of 25 to 35 drivers are
expected before race time.
The park has completed perp
arations for opening day, with
all rides and equipment receiv
ing new paint and repairs and
several new attractions being
added. Free picnic grounds with
tables, benches and barbecue
pits, complete with fire wood, is
offered, and a record-breaking
crowd is expected.
Premiums of an electric Mix
master, a Philco combination ra
dio and record player and a de
luxe Roadmaster bicycle will be
given as attendance prizes on
opening day. And other valuable
gifts will be awarded each
Wednesday at 9 p. m. through
out the season.
Plan* now to spend next Sun
day and as many days as you
can this summer at Lake Win
nepesaukah. Remember, it is al
ways 10 degrees cooler at beauti
ful Lake Winnepesaukah.
ROAD PLANS RUSHED;
PRISON LABOR EYED
IN ECONOMY DRIVE
State Highway Director John
Beasley has announced that road
planning engineers are working
at top speed to fulfill Acting Gov.
Thompson’s request that $10,000.-
000 in new projects be gotten
i under contract by July I—the
end of the fiscal year. In this
way, Georgia will be able to make
i use of all Federal highway funds
available to the state for match
ing purposes, he declared. About
$11,000,000 in Federal money will
be provided in the next fiscal
year, he estimated.
In the meantime, Gov. Thomp
son reported progress on his
plan to make use of state prison
labor for highway maintenance.
While this plan would not re
duce the supply of labor availa
ble to the counties for local
roads, the governor declared, it
would save the state a consider
able amount of money if it
proves practical.
A study will be made of prison
camps in other states with the
idea in mind of establishing at
least two such in Georgia. These
camps would be under the juris
diction of the state department
of corrections, but all actual
road work would be accomp
lished at the direction of high
way department personnel.
It was emphasized by Gov.
Thompson that the establish
ment of these camps did not
! mean a return to the chain
gangs which brought such dis
credit to the state some years
ago.

COUNTY TEACHERS
The following excerpts taken
from bills passed at the last ses
sion of legislature in the state of
Georgia may give retirement

must have taught for sometime
during the calendar year 1943;
or the teacher must have left
the teaching profession to enter
the armed forces, and must have
been in the armed forces in 1943
in order to claim prior service.
The law now provides two addi
tional ways that a teacher may
qualify for prior service:
House Bill No. 250—Act 239
(A) If he taught as much as
two full school years between
Jan. 1, 1940, and Jan. 1, 1943; or
(B) If he will have taught as
much as two full school years
between Jan. 1, 1945, and Jan. 1,
1948.
House Bill No. 197—Act 360
2. Any living teacher who has
had as much as 35 years of
I teaching service in the public
■ schools or university system of
this state, and who had retired
from the teaching profession
after having reached the age of
60 before the establishment of
this system (1943), is eligible foe
retirement benefits. <He should
{submit to Teachers’ Retirement
System, 20 Ivy Street, S. E., At
lanta, Ga., (1) his claims for
prior service (Form 3); (2) his
{ application for membership
(Form 2-A); and his application
for retirement (Form 9).
If any of the above statements
apply to you or if you know of
anyone to whom they might ap
i ply, please direct them to your
{ county school superintendent,
Mrs. Katherine M. Clarkson, who
will be glad to help any teacher
get their benefits from the re- 1
tirement system.

Births Exceed Deaths
3 to 1 in State Now
{ That Georgia’s population is on
{the increase, there need be no
{doubt whatsoever. In fact, ac
cording to Dr. T. F. Abercrombie,
{state health director, Georgia’s
births exceed her deaths by bet
. {ter than three to one.
In his annual report to the
state board of health, Dr. Aber
{ crombie revealed that Georgia’s
death rate in 1946 was the low
est in history—2B,99s deaths as
compared to 82,078 births.
The veteran health director
disclosed that there were 186
births for every 100 deaths 20
years ago, whereas, last year, the
ratio was 305 births to 100
deaths. He attributed the low
ered death rate to outstanding
. advancements in the field of
public health.

Chattooga’s Cancer
r Drive Expected To
i Gain Momentum
5! Chattooga County’s drive for
, | $5lO to fight cancer was expect
. { ed to gain momentum after a
; {slow start that saw the county
. fall far behind the efforts of
- many areas in the state, Mrs. O.
‘ H. Elgin, county campaign chari
j man, said today.
; Mrs. "Elgin said that she has
. been notified by state campaign
. headquarters that many coun
) ties in the state already have
raised more than half their goals
[ and some have increased their
original quotas because of the
. overwhelming response during
the early part of the drive.
“There is no county in the
state which is more civic-mind
! ed than Chattooga County. That
is why I am confident that we
will not fail in our efforts to
raise money to fight cancer.
i “Today from one-third to one
half of those who develop can
cer can be saved with early rec
ognition and adequate medical
i'• treatment. We must make sure
• 1 that all citizens of Chattooga
■ County have the information
, which will enable them to recog
; nize the early warnings which
■ may mean cancer and to take
{ the necessary steps to protect
■ themselves if those danger sig
nals appear.
; “We must provide facilities to
■ make detection, diagnosis and
; treatment available to as many
i cancer victims as possible.
■ I “At the same time, we must
i i make it possible to continue the
i! research program which is seek
) { ing away to cure all types of
• { cancer and to discover methods
■I of preventing the disease.”
; “That is how the funds raised
• ■ during April will be spent ... to
finance public education, service
to cancer patients and research.”
Mrs. Elgin said that a corps
of volunteer campaign workers
{ plans to make personal calls on
as many citizens of Chattooga

, the new Regular Army, also to
; furnish information to anyone
desiring it on anything pertain

; Os particular interest to the
young men who are graduating
I from high school this year is that

’ {the new Regular Army now. Men
; are still being accepted from 17
; to 34 years of age. Men of 17
i must, however, have their par

. ord of their true age.
The new Regular Army not
only offers new high pay, but a
chance to travel, learn while in

curity now and in later life. It
also offers you a chance to build
yourself into a finer and better
person both mentally and phy
sically through the educational
■ and recreational program that
the new Regular Army provides.
Former servicemen are re
minded that it is still possible to
return to the army in the grade
in which they were discharged,
if qualified. Men of the navy,

commensurate to those at time
of discharge.
