Summerville News
Summerville, Georgia
Dear Sirs:
This letter is addressed to the
lovely little lady who wrote such
a fine article in your uaner
about our “Furlough Den” and
our beloved Lon Ed, Nellie and
Wayne Kirby. Your article was
one of the very finest that has
been published from coast to
coast and from border to bor
der. We very much appreciate
it and will always have a warm
spot in our hearts for your paper
as well as all the grand folks we
met during our brief stay in
Summerville.
One slight error occurred in
the paper, the remark about the
book being sold. It is not quite
finished yet but we hope to
have it on the market before the
winter is over and with the help
of the loyal folks on the news
paper staffs sincerely hope to be
able to help our dear crippled
folks, we love them and we know I
that the feeling is mutual.
Regarding “Southern Hospi- I
tality” let me say that we not
only found the REAL THING in I
your little city but all over the I
great Southland we were petted,
pampered and loved until we
are hardly fit to be around folks
who treat us in a normal man
ner. We were also fed so much
southern fried chicken that it
was sticking out of our ears be
fore we headed north and “by
golly” we haven’t met up with
a good chicken dinner since we
left the other side of the Mason
and Dixon Line.
An extra cheer to your lovely
reporter as well as all the other
fine folks down that way.
Yours very truly.

We've already told you how
proud we are of our staff of cor
respondents and we want you
to know them too.
So via this column we hope to
introduce each of them to you.
We’re starting with the one
who has been with us the long
est. Mrs. W. J. Hogg, of Menlo.
CORRESPONDENT OF THE
WEEK
“I’ve enjoyed the News ever
since I learned to read,” Mrs.
Hogg writes us.
“It has been in our family all
my life, although I haven't al
ways taken it myself.” Mrs.
Hogg will soon be 60.
She works in the office of Dr.
D. S. Lawrence, in Menlo, in the
mornings, in addition to doing
her laundry and housework.
Our Menlo correspondent’s
hobby is making tea towels and
aprons. She also raises flowers
and chickens “just because I
love to do it.”
She has lived in the Menlo
community for 18 years and in
her present residence for 14
years.
Mrs. Hogg became correspond
ent about three years ago when
the former correspondent, Miss
Lena Baker, decided she was too
busy to do it.
“I like the letters in the News
because they help me to keep in
touch with friends of whom I’d
never hear, were the letters left
out. Also I like Miss Toles’
‘Summerville Silhouettes.’ She
keeps us so well advised about
the prettiest things and where
to look for ’em.”
You can see Mrs. Hogg was a
correspondent long before we
made an organized move to se-
4-HTRS OBSERVE ANNUAL
ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM
Several hundred 4-H boys and
girls met at the Chattooga Coun
ty courthuose Friday morning
for the annual Achivement Day
program, at which time 36 med
als and awards were awarded
outstanding members.
Miss Maitha Harrison, of the
State Extension Service, spoke to
the group urging them to con
tinue the present 4-H program
and to strive to do even better.
“I have the best job in the
world,” she declared, “because
my job is visiting groups such
as yours throughout the state. It
in a real inspiration to look into
the shining faces of our tine
youth and know that you are the
leaders of tomorrow. I have no
fear when I think of our future,
because I know that in your
hands our world will be safe.”
The welcome was given by L.
B. Harrell, who expressed great
appreciation for the 4-H Club
and it’s work. He said that 4-H
boys and girls know what they’re
going to do and they do it with
great courage.
One of the most interesting
phases of the program was the
talent show, in which each club

It is such people as she that
promote community spirit and
we’re certainly proud to have

tap dancing, duets, hillbilly
bands, quartets and readings.
O. L. Cleckler, of Menlo, told
the 4-H'ers he was going to give
them a justly-deserved “pat on
the back.” He reminded them of
Robert Burns and Alexander
Graham Bell, both of whom be
came great because of the en
couragement given by someone

A SURE-FIRE REMEDY FOR
FEAR
Mrs. Helen W. Carr, who is
connected with Veterans Admi
nistration Lubbock, Texas, has
’ told me a story that every
i mother should read, and most
particularly those mothers who
j unwittingly are nursing fear
in their children, or whose chil
dren, for some reason are afraid
jof the dark.
When Helen was seven and her
little sister Boots was five, their
brother and a cousin cooked up
a scheme to frighten them. Boy
like, they were full of prankish,
madcap ideas, and, also boylike
they gave no thought to possible
consequences.
One evening in the absence
of their parents, those boys
dressed in their father’s clothes,
donned masks and went up to
the bedroom of the two little
girls. They knocked on the door
and in loud and disguised voices
announced that they had come
to take Boots away. The little
girls screamed in terror and
Boots got under the bed.
At that, the boys desisted, but
the harm had been done. The
next morning little Boots ran a
She got over the
illness, not the fright. She was
afraid after that to get up in the
night, and every unknown sound
called her sister. Sometimes
Helen herself was so terrified she
couldn’t move.
This fear pursued those girls
for years, pursued Boots until she
had children of her own when
she had to learn to reassure them
that there is nothing to fear
about unknown noises. She had
to assume courage, and finally
her courage developed.
Helen herself earlier had con
qured her fears in her own ef
forts to reassure her little sister
that there was nothing to fear,
and through learning to speak
in public. In addition to her fear,
of the dark, she had been afraid
of people, which she thinks was
largely due to having been
taught as a child that she should,
be seen and not heard. In other
i words, she conquered her fear
by doing the thing she feared to
do. And this is a sure-fire reme
dy for fear.
I Veterans Corner
Will the Veterans Administra
tion help the veteran find a job
after he has finished training
under he GI Bill? Answers to this
and other questions often asked
by veterans are obtained from
the VA and published in this
column by The Summerville
News as a public service.
Q. When a veteran secures a
loan under the G-I Bill, does the
Government make an outrieht
payment on it without charging
the veteran anything?
A. Yes, VA pays the lender, for
credit to the veteran’s loan, an
amount equal to 4 per cent of
the quaranteed portion of the
loan. For example, if the guar
anteed portion of the loan is
$4,000, the lender will receive
$l6O from VA to credit to the
debt of the veteran.
> Q. I am a World War II vet
eran and wish to go in business I
Must I have experience in the I
business in order to get a G-I j
loan?
A. Experience is an important
element in the success of the
average business. You should be
able to show a reasonable ex
pectation of success in your ven
ture in order to get your loan.
Q. Must a disabled veteran go
to a vocational school or may he
go to a liberal arts college, a
high school, or similar institution
under the Vocational Rehabilita
tion Act?
A. He may enroll in any VA
approved educational institution
or training establishment offer
ing the course of training which
VA has found he needs to insure
his proper rehabilitation in line
with his own desires.
Q: My brother, a disabled
World War 11 veteran, is being
rehabilitated under Public Law
16. Must he find his own job or
will VA do this?
A: Veterans Administration
will help your brother look for a
job after he finishes his training
Hospital benefits are increas
ingly important to veterans, and
bring many inquiries. Answers;
to these and other questionsl
asked by veterans are obtained!
from the Veterans Administra-|
tion and published in this column '
by the Summerville News as a
public service to our veterans.
Q. On what priority basis is
a World War I veteran admitted
ito a Veterans Administration
Hospital?
A. Emergency cases have first
priority; those suffering from
injuries incurred in or aggra
vated by wartime service are
next on the priority list, and
those who swear they are unable
' to pay hospital charges for non
| service-connected disabilities or
illnesses are third. The latter
must wait until a bed is avail
able.
Q. Are dependents of a World
War I veteran, who died of
causes not due to service, en
titled to death pension?
A. In most cases, they are en
titled to death pension benefits.
The widow is disqualified if her
annual income exceeds SI,OOO, or
$2,500 if she has a child or chil
dren. A child is ineligible if his
or her income exceeds SI,OOO per
year. A widow loses her entitle
ment upon remarriage, and chil
dren normally become ineligible
when they reach age 18.
Q. I am a World War I veteran
and was discharged from the U,
S. Army in 1938. I would like to
know if I am eligible for the edu
cation, readjustment allowance
and guaranty loan provisions of
the GI Bill?
A. No. Benefits of the GI Bill
are available only to World War
II veterans.
(Veterans wishing further in-
I formation about veterans’ bene
fits may have their questions an
swered by writing the nearest
VA regional office.)
Grain Production
Producing an average per-acre
yield of 24 bushels of oats, 14
bushels wheat, 22 bushels barley
and nine bushels rye last year
farmers in Georgia grew a total
of almost 20 million bushels of
grain. Peracre yields could have
been higher K better cultural
practices had been used.
Naval Stores
The naval stores industry rep
resents an annual income to*l
Georgia varying from a low of
$7,500,000 in 1932 to as much as
$23,500,000 in 1945. It employs
i about 20,000 to 25,000 people per
year who work approximately
40,000,000 longleaf and slash pine
faces yearly.
Com Yields
Present estimates indicate that
1947 corn yields in Georgia have
been stepped up 2.7 bushels perj
J acre over the average per-acre j
yields for the years 1936-45. If
the extra corn produced as a re
sult were to be sold at present)
' prices t would be worth more j
than $18,000,000.
Balanced Farming
A great many cotton farmers
in the northern half of Georgia
have in the past few years in
cluded dairy and poutry produc
tion in their system of farming.
As a result these farms now have
a steady monthly income)
throughout the year.
Hog Production
Large litters of strong pigs are
the result of good breeding,
selection, feeding and general
management. The profitable
herd should average at least
seven pigs per litter raised to
market age.
Fire Prevention
1 A good job for winter days is
to clean up fire traps and haz
ards around the farm, check and
■epair the defective chimneys
and flues and make roofs as fire
resistant as possible.

able H. E. N chols. Judge, Superior Court.

IN MEMORIAM
Since They’ve Gone Away Home |
How dark and dreary was the
day
When Mother and Father went)
away,
They left our home, so sad and I
lone,
But they have gone to heavens )
home.
Those dear sweet hands that)
toiled for me,
I hope to clasp beyond the sea,
And dwell in peace with them for
aye.
Throughout a glad eternal day.
My parents’ love for me, was
great,
And now they wait at heaven’s
gate,
My heart and life, I give to God,
I’ll travel in the way they trod.
I’ll meet them where no heart
aches come.
When this short race of life is I
run
And see their precious loving
smiles
In that sweet home just after)
while.

To The Voters of Summerville
District
Again I have entered the race
for Justice of the Peace. I waited
until the last minute before I
qualified thinking perhaps some
other would and was not positive
at that time that I would make
the race, but so many of my
friends kept on insisting that I
finally decided on Saturday to
run. ‘
Now it only a short time until
election and it will be impossible
for me to get out and see all the
voters and will ask all who reads
this announcement to consider it
as a personal contact and soli
citation for your vote.
If I am your choice speak to
others will you? And above all
on Saturday go to the polls and
vote and if for any reason you
can’t get to the polls call 109
my store and I will send for you
and if elected I will do the very
best within me to make you one
of the best J. P’s you have ever
had.
Thanking you for any courtsey
shown me in this election I am
sincerely yours.

Fire Protection News
We had a small fire on Octo
ber 13 that was not spotted by
the County Unit and was not re
ported at the time.
This fire got out late in the
afternoon of the 13th on land
owned by J. H. Hendrix near
Mountain View.
Mr. Hendrix’s son put out the
fire soon after it started and
only about 1 acre was burned.
Indications were that hunters
started the fire.
Last week we were busy work
ing on the tower access road,
laying out the tower foundation
and were on watch for fires. Even
tho it was exremely dry until
Friday, no fires were reported
during the week.
