Outlines Work Tax
Revision Committee
Writing in The Statesman,
state-wide weekly paper, Gover
nor Herman Talmadge this week
discussed the first meeting of
the State Tax Revision Commit
tee and outlined the objectives
of the committee in its efforts
to “cure” Georgia’s taxation
ills.
The Governor said: “I think
it is important for the people
of Georgia to Know what stens
the committee will take in study
ing the functions of our State
government and its needs. The
committee will first determine
what savings can be effected by
economy and a re-evaluation of
State services, both those now

existing and proposed. Thus, you
can see, the first and primary
emphasis will be on determining
what savings can be effected
without seriously impairing the
services now being provided by
the State.
“It was pointed out at the
meeting of the committee that
95% of the State’s total income
goes to finance the Health, Ed
ucation, Welfare and Highway
Departments of our State. The
committee has, therefore, de
cided to inquire fully into the
operation of these departments
first and have agreed to take up
in alphabetical order.
“When the committee explor
es this avenue fully and arrives
at definite findings, it will then
consider the subject of revision
of present tax laws. There are
some who have made extrava
gant claims about what can be
done through this medium.
They will be siven an oppor
tunity to substantiate their
somewhat vague and indefinite
assertions through the presen
tation of facts and figures.
“Os course, everyone admits
that there are some inequities
and conflicts which exist in our
present tax structure which
should be rectified. However,
to claim that this will solve all
of our problems is deliberate de
ception.
“If, after determining what
economies can be effected and
what can be gained by revision
of present tax laws, it is found
Impossible to carry out the
proper functions of our State
government, then the commit
tee will consider ways and
means of providing needed rev
enue for the most important
functions of our State govern
me n t which I pointed out
above. It is here that public
hearings will be of particular
help and importance.”
The next meeting of the com
mittee has been set for July 11.
with subsequent meetings each
month thereafter until comple
tion of its business.
Two sub-committees appoint
ed by the Governor will meet at
the call of their chairmen to
determine what savings can be
effected by economy and to
consider and make recommen
dations to the whole committee
on revision of present tax laws.

Register Birlhs,
Hew Parents Urged
Although birth registrations
in Georgia have increased as
much as 30 percent in some
| areas, a recent survey of the
State revealed that the Vital
Statistics Division is not re
। ceiving birth records in a 100
percent capacity, despite the
fact that the Division has more
I than a thousand local registrars
distributed throughout the
State for the main purpose of
I reporting new births in their
■ respective districts. Registrars
are paid for this service, ac-
I cording to Georgia Department
[ so Punblic Health Officials, but
i the fees are not large enough to
| warrant a local registrar trav
. eling over his district extensive
)ly in order to record a child’s
! birth when it is the parents’
। responsibility ac cord in g to
'Georgia laws.
b Thousands of dollars are
ispent every year by parents in
; an effort to obtain delayed birth
vertificates for their off
i springs, when it would have cost
' them nothing to register their
children within a ten day period
j after they were born, officials
| said In addition to the fees
| charged by the Courts for this
service, there is the trouble of;
accumulating the proper evi-1
dence of proof of birth for de-'
laved certificates. In many cases
this evidence cannot be obtain
ed. especially when the appli
j cant is an adult. Consequently,
persons who are qualified for
pensions, important positions,
govermental appointments, etc.,
are rejected because of the fact
{heir parents neglected to re
cord their coming into the
world.
A birth certificate is one of
the most important documents
in a person’s IRe. officials con
tinued, and the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health urges all
parents to hie themselves to
the nearest local registrar and
record Junior’s birth at the
earliest possible moment.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
COOK VEGETABLES
WITH LESS WATER
TO SAVE VITAMINS
/
“Spare the water in cooking
and save vitamins,” Miss Nellie
C. Boyd, nutritionist for the
State Extension Service, said
this week in reporting the re
sults of recent experiments with
six popular vegetables.
Vitamin C content of six
vegetables—cabbage, rutabagas,
peas, asparagus, califlower and
[spinach —was tested before and
after cooking by four different
methods, Miss Boyd said. The
[ tests revealed that the open
kettle method, with water
enough to cover during the en
tire cooking period, destroyed
more of the vitamin C content
than cooking in a pressure
cooker above the water level,
in a tightly covered pan with
only enough watei - to prevent
scorching or in a steamer.
Cooking with the most water
proved wasteful of vitamin C in
all the vegetables, she pointed
out, while the other three meth
ods were equally good for cook
i ing cabbage, rutabagas, peas
■ and asparagus. Cabbage, for ex
' ample, kept two-thirds of its C
■ content after cooking by the
. water-sparing methods, but only
one-fourth after cooking in wa
ter to cover. Riltabagas and
peas kept three-fourths of their
C content when cooked in very
little water, as compared to only
two-fifths after cooking under
water.
The tests revealed that cauli
flower retained most of its vita
min C when cooked in steam,
either in a steamer or pressure
saucepan. Miss Boyd explained
Spinach came out with the most
vitamins retained after cooking
under pressure but above water.
Not only were the tests impor
tant in revealing the savings
in vitamin C, the nutritionist
declared, but they indicated a
general saving quality, including
fresh color, flavor and perish
able nutrients.
Louisa's Letter
Dear Louisa:
Last spring I met a young
man whom I liked very much.
He asked me for a date and on
a good many occasions since,
when he has come to my home
town we have had dates. I’ve
fallen very much in love with
him and I thought he liked me
a lot, too. But—and this is the)
distressing part—a girl who is
visiting here says that he is a I
married man and that she
knows his wife well.
Don’t you think that he and
his wife must not love each oth
er or why would he be going
with other girls? I don’t know
whether to believe her or not
[ or w'hat to do if I find out what
she says is true.
Please advise me.
JUNE M—Del.
Answer:
The next time the young man
comes to call, tell him what the
girl has said, and If it is true,
I am sure he will not deny it.
He will probobly say that you
never asked him about being
I married, and he just never
| mentioned.
From what you write, I gather
that his business is one that
calls for travel and he is proba
bly, one of those men who like
to pass the time away with mild
flirtations. He probably Ipves
his wife very much and doesn’t
realize how shabbily he is
treating her, not to mention
what kind of a deal you are
getting.
It is unfortunate that he has
been so unfair, as you would
hardly have let yourself care for
him if you had known he was
married when you first met.
However, it is a fine thing
that you have found out about
him before too late. If he is
really married, put him out of
your life at once. Go with other
young men and forget him as
soon as passible. Just mark it
up to experience.
LOUISA
Dear Louisa:
I have a neighbor who sends
her small son over to my house
whenever she wishes to go out
। for the afternoon. I feel re
sponsible for him and I play
, the role of nurse maid about
, half of the time.
What must I do? In other re
spects, I like her very much.
A. L. P.—Md.
Answer:
The next time she sends him
i over, call her immediately and
say you are sorry but as you are
going out yourself, you will have
to send him home. Or you can
। say that you are planning to
take a nap, etc., and he will
have to come back another day
when it doesn’t Interfere with
your plans
I presume that you have a
child of your own, so a better
plan might be to talk to her and
say that as neither of you have
a nurse, it might be a good ar
rangement for each of you to
care for the other’s child once
or twice a week. In that way,
both of you would have an op-
jortunity for several free after
noons and neither of you would
be the “goat.”
You are foolish to let her im
pose on you.

LIBRARY NOTES
The Chattooga County Library
has a number of new books it’s
patrons will be interested in
hearing about.
Among them is “Ever After,”
by Elswyth Thane.
Chattooga Countians are well
aware that Miss Thane’s his
torical novel have an individu
ality and a charm which bring
her a wider and more devoted
audience with each successive
book. Perhaps one of the rea
sons is that her characters lead
lives of their own, so that de
spite the scrupulous authenticity
of their background, they move
through history as real and en
gaging as if they were alive to
day.
“Ever After” is the story of
Bracken Murray, Special Corres
pondent of the New York Star,
and of his cub-reporter cousin,
Fitz Sprague. Bracken’s eccen
tric Viennese wife leaves him
and disappears into the shadier
backwaters of the Riviera short
ly before he goes to London to
cover the Jubilee Summer of
1897. There he falls in love with
a young English girl. In the
meanwhile in New York, Fritz
rescues a. music-hall singer from
a gambling gang—and she falls
in love with him. ,
Against the rich and varied
backgraunds of New York, Wil
liamsburg, London and Cuba,
Miss Thane, with her sure sense
of period and character, weaves
two strong love stories through a
pattern full of emotion, humor
and suspense.
“High Towers” i s another
much-talked about book recent
ly arriving at the local library.
Written by Thomas B. Costain,
this book is one of the most
popular at the library.
A number of good magazines,
including Life, Collier’s, Satur
day Evening Post, Ladies Home
Journal, McCall’s are now re
ceived regularly at the library,
and patrons are invited to check
them out.
Mrs. Harry Foster, librarian,
cordially invites the public to
take advantage of the many fa
cilities available.
King Leonold says he hopes to
return to Belgium soon.

WILL YOU SMILE
Bert Hare once arrived in
Richmond with a splitting head
ache which almost blinded him
with pain. Feeling that some
fresh air would do him good, he
went out for a stroll with a
proud native of Richmond who
talked long and hard about the
city’s wonders.
“Richmond,” boasted his com
painion, “is one of the health
iest cities in America. Our death
rate averages only 1 person per
day.”
At this, Harte slowed his walk
perceptibly. “Tell me,” he moan
de, holding his throbbing head
in his hands, “has today’s man
died yet?”
Still in the Dark
Smith was in his den with a
few of his friends talking about
his wife and her peculiarities.
“I have thought for some
time,” he said, “that my wife is
utterly devoid of taste, but the
other day she put on a new
dress which was atrocious be
yound words. I daren’t of course,
say a word about it, and dared
hardly look at it, but as she
went out I went to the window
to have another look at her
and—”
At this juncture his wife en
tered suddenly.
“And the funniest part of the
whole affair,” continued Smith,
without showing the least em
barassment, “was that they
found the cat eleven days later
on the top of the Eiffel Tower!”
And Mrs. Smith still does not
understand what there was in
that ridiculous statement t o
make them all laugh so up
roariously.

Through a Glass Darkly
The professor was absent- •
minded, as all professors are
said to be but one thing he
did vaguely remember was that
he had to get his wife a pre
serving jar. He walked into a
shop and saw some displayed
upside-down on a shelf. He
touched the top absently and
exclaimed:
“Useless. Quite useless; the
thing has no mouth.”
Then he picked it up and looked
at the other end.
“Ridiculous. Quite ridiculous,”
he murmured. “The thing has no
bottom, either.”
Egotist
A Welshman who was very
proud of his bass voice was de
scribing a wonderful dream
he’d had.
“I was in a mighty choir,” he
said; “5,000 sopranos, 5,000 altos,»
5,000 tenors —all singing togeth
er double forte.”
“It must have been wonder
ful,” said the listener. “But
what about the basses?”
“That was it!” said the
dreamer. “Suddenly the con
ductor stopped the choir and
turning to me, said ‘Not quite
so loud in the bass, please, Mr.
Jones’.”
Much Better
“I’m' proud to say I’m a self
made man.”
“You’re lucky. I’m the revis
ed work of a wife and three
daughters.”
