HOSPITAL AUTHORITY?
The people of Chattooga
County saw the need for a
hospital here and were will
ing to put their money be
hind it. They voiced that
opinion on May 28 when, by a
great majority, they approved
a SIIO,OOO bond issue.
The young growing Cham
ber of Commerce is to be com
mended for assuming this
project and for so effectively
presenting the need to the
people and to the County
Commissioners, who called
the election.
Ordinarily a Hospital Au
thority, composed of represen
tative citizens from through
out the county, is appointed
by the county to be in charge
of the hospital. To cite a few
examples, this is true in Floyd.
Cobb, Hall and Murray Coun
ties.
Chattoogians, including the
Chamber of Commerce, had
understood that a similiar
Authority would be appointed
to run the Hospital here. The
County Commisioners met
Monday, however no Author
ity was appointed, and the
county went about the task
of hiring an architect, a job
that ordinarily would be
handled by the Authority.
Are the Commissioners go
ing to be the "Authority?”
According to law, the coun
ty does not have to appoint
such a group, and it is widely
rumored none will be selected
here, at least until after the
construction is finished.
We do not believe the peo
ple approve of such a plan.
They have been told no mem
ber of the city, county, state
or federal governments would
be on the Authority. It is our
belief that it is the duty of
the Commissioners to select
a group of men who have no
political interests, and men
who are in no way connected
with either the city, county,
state or federal governments,
to serve on a Hospital Author
ity.
Leiters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Espy:
I wish to thank you for your
interest in KEEP GEORGIA
GREEN and for your cooperation
in helping us make our state
tree-conscious and fire- con
scious.
For financial reasons this of
fice is being discontinued as a
separate office: effective July 1.
KEEP GEORGIA GREEN activi
ties will be handled by the exec
utive secretary of the Georgia
Forestry Association, Mr B M.
Lufburrow. (I will not be con
nected with the campaign after
June 30.)
Receiving copies of your paper
has been a help to me. Mr. Luf
burrow asks that you continue
sending your paper to KEEP
GEORGIA GREEN at this ad
dress, as he is moving his office
to Atlanta.
Again, thanks for your coop
eration in what I consider one
of the most important campaigns
Georgia has ever started. Prog
ress has been made, but so much
remains to be done IF Georgia
is to reap a full crop from her
25.000,000 acres of wodlands.
Sincerely yours.

LIBRARY NOTES
Marion Hargrove’s first novel
(and also his first book since
“See Here, Private Hargroove”)
is now available at the Chat
tooga County Library under the
title, "Something’s Got to
Give.”
With the same gay approach,
Hargrove tells of two young
couples, who by their own free
will, became involved in a radio
program.
Why they broke the pattern
of their tranquil lives is a mat- |
ter of personality—female per
sonality — according to both
husbands.
Here is a lively story about
four modem Americans told
with contagious good humor
and a refreshing note of sa
tire.
Also at the library you’ll find
many good magazines to occupy
your time. There are such fav
orites as Life, Time, Charm,
Vogue and Good Housekeeping.
The Library is a particularly
popular spot these days for the
younger contingent. It’s Read
ing Club headquarters and
youngsters arrive every few
minutes to check in books and
check out new ones, all eager
to obtain the lovely certificate
awaiting those who read 10
books.
The club will cease function
ing when school commences.

NON-COMMUNIST OATH RESOLUTION
PASSED AT STATE VFW CONVENTION
Two resolutions made by the
local VFW Post (Mason-Mc-
Cauley) at the annual conven
tion in Brunswick last week
were passed and will be submit
ted to the national convention.
The first would make it man
datory that all persons now on
the federal or state payrolls
who are avowed members of the
Communist Party be prosecuted
and relieved of their positions.
The second would require
that all present members of the
VFW and persons seeking mem
bership in organization take a
non-Communist oath and if
any present members should re
fuse, the Post Commander
would have the authority to
strike their names from the
roll. ,
A resolution, submitted by
another post, was adopted
recommending a bonus for
World War II veterans, $3 for
each day home service and $4
for each day foreign service,
plus SSOO for each battle wound.
The group also went on record
as favoring a 25 per cent in
crease in the amount of pen
sions and disability compensa
tion because of the high cost
of living.
The convention, which was
attended by several members
of the local Post, was begun
with a parade Sunday after
noon, led by the U. S. Marine
Corps band, of Parris Island,
and participated in by the
Brunswick National Guard, and
MEMBERS OF LARGEST FLORIDA LEGION
POST VOTE TO PRAY FOR PEACE DAILY
MIAMI, Fla.—The Harvey W.
Seeds Post 29 of Miami, has
joined the growing number of
American Legion posts through
out the nation which have
voted to have its members
pause for one minute at noon
every day for a silent prayer for
a just and enduring world
peace.
By a unamimous vote, the lo
cal post adopted a resolution
declaring:
“Having complete confidence
in the ability of our fellowmen,
with the aid of Almighty God
to establish a just and enduring
peace in the world.
“We, the members of the
Harvey W. Seeds Post 29,
American Legion, Department
of Florida, do hereby unani
mously resolve to pause for one
minute in the midst of our
daily tasks, at noon each day,
and raising our heart and mind
toward God, ask Him to help us
adjust our International differ
ences to enable the nations of
the world to secure an equitable
and abiding peace.
“We urge that this movement
be endorsed by all the spiritual,
civic and business leaders in
the United States and that a
similar resolution be adopted
and implemented by every or
ganization in our country to the
end that this custom may be
come universal in effect.”
BOND SALES
CONTINUE UPWARD
McGinnis says
Chattooga County’s savings
bonds sales continued spiraling
upward this week as Harry Mc-
Ginnie reported the county had
104 9 per cent of the quota.
Mr. McGinnis, County Chair
man, said that the goal was
$63,000, however, $66,094 in
bonds has been sold.
This represents the largest
percentage attained by any
county in the Seventh Dis
trict. Murray is next with 100.3
per cent.
The U. S. has reached 83 per
cent, while Georgia reached
74 1 per cent of her goal.

Berryton Message
Prov. 30-24-29: “There be four
things which are little upon the
earth, but they are exceeding
wise, the ants, are a people not
strong, yet they prepare their
meat in the summer.”
Beloved, even the ants have
understanding of being prepar
ed, which is the important mat
ter of life. Why are not people
wise like the ants to prepare
to meet God in peace.
The twenty sixth verse, “The
conies are but a feeble folk, yet
make they their nouses in the
rocks.”
Beloved, when the storms are
moving the rich mans castles
and twisting tree tops the conies
are sleeping safe in the rocks,
why not people find the rock,
Christ Jesus, to be saved satisfi
ed and protected.
The twenty seventh verse,
“The locusts have no king yet
go they forth all of them by
bands."
Beloved, they are together,
they are organized. They travel
together. They stop together.
They rest together. They start
] together even without a king
or overseer, they progress, yet
nations of people who have
kings, governors, presidents and
yet they are crossed, they are
apart, they are unorganized as
a whole each person after his
own way, every state after it’s
way. every city after it’s way,
every nation after it’s way.
Yes God can see the difference
between the four little things
of the earth and human beings.
“The spider taketh hold with
her hands and Is In kings
palaces.” reading the 28th verse,
probably they are some today
that could not get a pass to walk
through the king's palace, but
the spider makes her dwelling
some where In the king’s palace.
If only we would take lessons
from the small creatures we
could be wise.
We are now in a tent meeting
at Mt. View, one mile east of
Trion. Come to the Berry ton
Baptist Church each Sunday
and tune in on WGWD Gadsden
station each Saturday at 9:30
Ga. time. Send all offerings to
