NEWSPAPER
MAINTAINS STATUS
The newspaper, with its
printed word, in the view of
Joseph W. Fraser, Vice -
Chairman of the Kaiser -
Fraser Corporation, is still the
backbone, not only of auto
mobile advertising, but of all
products.
While nearly every news
paper man will agree with the
conclusions voiced by Mr.
Fraser, there is no harm,
from the journalistic view
point, in passing his words
along.
“The printed word has more
authenticity than the spoken
word of radio,” declares Mr.
Fraser, who, in a brief sen
tence, gives the explanation
for the continual growth of
newspaper circulation despite
radio competition.
The reader of the printed
word, whether it appears in
newspapers, magizenes, pam
phlets or books, understands
very readily that when one
puts "words in print, there is
no saying, “I didn’t say it.”
Consequently, those who
write for the record are more
apt to be careful and exact
in their statements. This, of
itself, is worth something to
the discriminating reader.
PROFIT
FROM THE BIBLE
"Do you read the Bible?”
This question, asked in a
crowd, w r ould produce interest
ing replies if the truth were
told.
There are some people in
Chattooga County who
think themselves “superior,”
because they place scant re
liance upon the book which is
still the world’s best seller.
They fancy an independent
aloofness but, in reality, there
be some other explanation for
their failure to give the Word
of God a trial on its merits.
Any number of our best citi
zens can, and will, testify to
the great influence this book
has exerted uoon their lives.
They know that its study has
brought them values, not
equalled by any other publica
tion. As a matter of selfish
“profit,” basing their testi
mony solely upon “returns,”
they will utter thanksgiving
for their Bible-reading habit.

Gems of Thought
CANDOR VERSUS DECIET
Be yourself. Apt no greatness.
Be willing to pass for what you
are. A good farthing is better
than a bad sovereign.—Samuel
Coley-
Candor will lose you some
friends, but not as many as de
ceit. —Young
The diligent fostering of a
candid habit of mind, even in
trifles, is a matter of high
moment both to character and
opinion.—Howson
In reasoning upon moral sub
jects, we have great occasion for
candor, in order to compare cir
cumstances, and weigh argu
ments with impartiality.—Em
mons
Competition in commerce, de
ceit in councils, dishonor in na
tions, dishonesty in trusts, be
gin with “Who shall be great
est?”—Mary Baker Eddy
DIGNITY
True dignity is never gained
by place, and never lost when
honors are withdrawn.—Mass
inger
True dignity abides with him
alone
Who in the silent hour of in
ward thought,
Can still suspect, and still revere
himself.
In lowliness of heart.
—Wordsworth
Never esteem anything as of
advantage to thee that shall
make thee break thy word or
lose thy self-respect. — Marcus
Aurelius
Dignity consists not possess
ing honors, but in the con
sciousness that we deserve
them.—Aristotle
WORK: A BLESSING
Work is not man’s punish
ment. It is his reward and his
strength and his pleasure.—
George Sand
The highest reward for man’s
toil is not what he gets for it,
but what he becomes by it—
Ruskin
None so little enjoy them
selves, and are such burdens to
themselves, as those who have
nothing to do. Only the active
have the true relish of life. —Jay
All growth depends upon ac
tivity. There is no developme.it
physically or intellectually with
out effort, and effort means
work.— Calvin Coolidge
Fill your time with positive
service and good. Do not drift.
Have definite things on hand to
do.—Henry Churchill King
All successful individuals have
become such by hard work; by
improving moments before they
pass into hours, and hours that
other people may occupy in the
pursuit of pleasure.— Mary Bak
er Eddy

We often have old friends
drop in to chat for a while es
pecially in the summer months
w r hen folks who have moved
away return to Chattooga for
a vacation.
Just last week Mr. Smith R.
Webb, President of Northeast
Technical School, Paterson-
Trenton, N. J„ came to visit us.
We were delighted and interest
ed to learn that this gentleman,
who is a PhD and LL.D, learn
ed the printing business right
here in our shop. He disclosed
that he turned a crank on a big
press “just to be near the men
setting type and get an idea
of what it was all about.”
He was well-acquainted with
the present editor’s late father.
We hope Mr. Webb will call on
us again soon.
The other day a single friend
of ours asked the editor whether
or not she could get a job on the
News.
She pointed out that there’d
been two marriages in the News
staff during the past two
months, and thought maybe
some sort of “good luck” hover
ed about the place. These mar
riages brought the total to three
within a year.
The most recent marriage was
that of Billy Espy, linotype oper
ator and floorman, to Miss Car
roll Patterson on May 21. Miss
Helen Toles, who handles the
office and reporting duties was
married to Herman Buffington
on April 14. Leon Gamble floor
man, was married to Miss
Marion Steele in May, 1948.

WEEKLY
LETTER
YOU? CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
By Henderson Lanham
U. N. PRESTIGE GROWS
After a disappointing begin
ning, the United Nations or- i
ganization is growing in power
i and prestige. Already it has
I brought peace to Palestine,
Pakistan and India.
Likewise the negoitations for
the Four Power on Germany,
and for the lifting of the block
ade of Berlin have been con
ducted under its auspices. As
j Dr. Trygve Lie, its presiding of
ficer says, this alone would
justify its existence, if it had
l never done anything else.
RUSSIAN SOFTENING
ATTITUDE IN WEST
The lifting of the Berlin
Blockade, the apology to Britian
' for an accident involving its
ships and the easing of pres
sure on Iran as well as the ces
. sation of its infiltration of
Greece, —all these things indi
i cat a more reasonale attitude
Howard the Western powers by
the Russians. The European Re
covery Program: or Marshall
Plan as it usually called, the
North Atlantic Pact, the re
markable work of our Air Men
on the Berlin Airlift, backed up
by the Atomic bomb have ap
parently won the Cold War for
us. With the easing of tension,
the likelihood of war recedes,
and some hope for permanent
Peace emerges.
While we cannot yet reduce
our expenditures for national
! defense, a settle of our differ
jences with Russia would permit
us to reduce them drastically
i next year, which would be a
great break for our over-bur
! dened taxpayers. For War, its
aftermath and preparation for
future wars, that might be
started by aggressor accounts
for eighty cents out of each dol
lar of our taxes.
LABOR BILL BACK
TO COMMITTEE
After long, brilliant and often
I bitter debate, the House on
(Thursday sent back to the Com
mittee on Eductalon and Labor,
It he so-called Wood Bill, which
was really drawn by the Re
publications. under the leader
ship of ex-speaker of Joe Mar
itin and Charlie Halleck. What
I say is no reflection on Con
gressman Wood of Georgia, who
lorlgnally Introduced a bill re
pealing the Taft-Hartley Act in
name, but keeping most of Its
i provisions, and even making
some of them stronger. The
Martin-Helleck Bill as later put
in the record by Congressman
Cox of Georgia, under the name
|of Congressman Wood who was
out of the city at the time. It
I had been softened up somewhat
। from the orglnal bill, In order
to get votes of many who rec
lognlzed that many provisions of
the Taft - Hartley Act had
proven un-workable and others
i unfair and oppressive to labor.
This bill was adopted by the
House on Wednesday afternoon,
but the switch of sufficient votes
'sent It back to the Committee

There’s four more single em
ployes. We’re anxiously waiting
further developments in the
matrimonial line.

How many subscribers send
the News to three other people?
In addition to paying for her
own subscription, Mrs. Sam W.
Favor also sends her home town
newspaper to her son in Augus
ta, to Mrs. H. L. Reason, in
Florida, and to L. P. Wood, at
Cloudland.
“I started giving the News as
a Christmas gift, but I’d let it
get a little behind each year
and now it’s in the summer
every year when I have to re
new.”
Mrs. Favor used to send it
to four persons.
The doors qf the News office,
always open to visitors, are liter
ally standing open these days to
admit the stray breezes which
may chance by.
Summer has arrived in all her
glory and there’s plenty of evi
dence of this fact at all the pic
nic areas in this section.
We regret to report this week
that we’re losing a correspon
dent, Mrs C, A. Kinsey, of Dry
Creek community.
In a letter recently, Mrs.
Kinsey stated that because of
sickness in her family it was
necessary for her to give up her
job with us.
We appreciate Mrs. Kinsey’s
good service and hope that in
the future she may be able to
be with us again in this capaci
ty.
■ *
for further study. This leaves
the Taft - Hartley Act in ex
istence.
EVERYBODY SHOULD BE
PLEASED
The present situation with
reference to labor-management
relations legislation reminds me
of the days of Prohibition. Dur
ing those days, those who favor
ed Prohibition had it, while
those who wanted liquor usual
ly could get it. So it was often
said- that everyone of them
should be happy over the situa
toin.
In the case of labor legisla
tion, the adminstration forces
wanted the Martin - Halleck-
Wood Bill recommitted, which
was done, leaving Taft-Hartley
in effect which should please
those who believe it to be best
for the country.
FAVORED SIMS SUBSTITUTE
Personally, I could not have
voted on final passage for either
the Lesinski Bill, which would
have restored the Wagner Act,
vVith a few minor changes, or
the Republican sponsored Mar
tin - Halleck - Wood Bill, which
was the Taft-Hartley Act with
“a new look”. I helped draft and
favored the middle-of-the-road
Sims Substitute bill which would
have kept the provisions of the
Taft-Hartley Act necessary to
protect the public such as the in
junction provisions which the
President needs to control na
tion-wide strikes that threaten
the national health, safety or
welfare. This bill also would
have preserved the provisions
guaranteeing free - speech to
employers, and requiring both
employers and workers to take
1 the non - communist oath, as
well as the requirement that
both parties bargain in good
faith. There were other neces
sary features, at the same time
that the oppressive provisoins
that had made the Taft-Hartley
Act the symbol of everything
that was unjust and oppressive
to the working people were
| omitted.
A SLAP AT THE
DEMOCRATIC POCCESS
Unfortunately, a majority of
the Committee had acted In a
high-handed manner, and had
reported the Lesinski bill with
out the members of the Com
mittee the right to propose
[amendments This caused much
। indignation by members of the
House who wanted to work out
a labor-management relations
act that was fair to both, and
that had its paramount purpose,
the protection of the public
from the excesses of both man
agement and labor John Wood
deserves credit for fighting this
high - handed action of the
committee.
I feel sure that this fighting
of the Democratic Process of
freedom of expression and ac
tion in a Congreslonal Com
mittee caused many to vote for
the so-called Wood bill out of
resentment at the thwarting of
democrtalc action. It Is my be
lief that the Committee has
learned its lesson and will now
report a reasonable bill that a
majority of the House and Sen
ate can and will support. When
a bill is given proper considera
tion by a standing committee of
the House, it is usually not dif
ficult of passage. Moreover,
more careful consideration by
the committee means better
legislation. For it is difficult to
write a good bill on the floor
of the House unless the com
mittee has given us a good
foundation to work upon.
VISITORS
It was indeed a pleasure to
see Mr. Paul Scoggins of Rome
who came by my office during
his brief visit to Washington. It
was also nice to see Mr. George
B. Hamilton, State Treasurer,
Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. S. C.
Groves of Lincolnton and Mr.
L. B. Yates of Baltimore, for
merly of Ringgold.
Red Paint for iFre Protection
The pail of sand which wise
farm families keep on hand for
fire control will be easier to lo
cate if painted bright red, as
the fire extinguisher and faucets
to which the fire hose must be
connected.
