CHIEF EXECUTIVES
HELP 4-H MEMBERS
OBSERVE'WEEK'
The 126,927 Georgia boys and
girls and over 2,000,000 others
throughout the nation who are
observing National 4-H Club
Week this week have received an
inspiring message from President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In a letter to the 4-H Clubs of
the United States, the President
told the members: “You are
unitedly dedicated to your in
spiring ideal: ‘Working Together
for World Understanding’.”
“Your membership of more
than two million,” he said, “sig
nifies a mighty force serving this
high purpose.”
Mr. Eisenhower told the
4-H’ers that they should find
great pride in their achievements
in training for responsible citi
zenship and rural leadership. He
added: “You should feel no less
proud of the great contribution
you have made in the production
of food and fiber for our nation.”
Looking to the future, the
President told the youngsters
that their thoughtful plans
promise more than a year of
material success. “They promise
a time of renewed learning and
renewed dedication to the prin
ciples and the practice of in
telligent citizenship. So doing,
you are constructively serving
your own country and the needs
of the free world.”
Here in Georgia, 4-H Club
members were lauded by another
chief executive, Governor Her
man Talmadge.
In a proclamation calling at
tention to 4-H Club work and
National 4-H Week, the Gover
nor urged all people to support
and encourage the work of the
organization.
Mr. Talmadge called 4-H the
state’s largest rural youth or
ganization, and pointed out that
the program in 1952 reached un
precedented heights, as evi
denced by 13 national champion
ships, more than any other state.
The proclamation commended
4-H’ers for their efforts to make
the dream of a 1,200-capacity
State 4-H Club Center at Rock
Eagle become a reality. It also
pointed out that one of the best
ways this country has to keep
our democratic way of life is the
sound and valuable training that
is being given to 4-H Club mem
bers.

DAViS ADDRESSES
B. & P. W. CLUB
John W. Davis, Summerville
attorney and civic leader, was
the principal speaker at the
Business and Professional Wom
en’s Club which met at the
Riegeldale Tavern Tuesday eve
ning.
Mr. Davis was introduced by
Miss Omie Wiley, program chair
man.
Speaking on the subject of
Public Relations, the attorney
| highlighted his topic with five
' main points, while at the same
I time definng the accepted mean
। ing of the words public relations
I and character.
“For good public relations,”
| the speaker said, “there must
i first be honesty—good solid hon
esty in every way with the pub
| lie and the in lividuals with
I whom you work. His second point
was “pleasantness” which is
meeting and dealing with the
public on friendly and interested
terms. The third point was
“firmness.”
Mr. Davis spoke very strongly
on this point saying "firmness is
standing up for what is right. If
we fail to be firm in our work as
individuals or as a member of a
concern or in any capacity where
we deal with others, we are in
viting trouble—people will run
over us. To stand firm or to
stand up for what is right builds
respect for the individual, for the
business or for the profession.
Firmness on the part of the in
dividual or business," he con
tinued, “indicates their willing
ness to correct the wrongs that
threaten the individual of the
community."
The full realization of the
functions of the business or pro
fession in which the individual
is engaged was the fourth high
light of Mr. Davis' address. He
pointed out the need for konw
ing the values and appreciating
the worth of every business,
every concern and every profes
sion. He spoke of the values of
credit and what it meant wheth
er large or small. His last point
which was a continuation of his
murtl '»>mt was “enlightening
the public of services rendered."
The attorney said "let the pub
lic know what your services arc
make them know why you are
valuable, that your are depend
able, that you are important in
the community because you arc
contributing to the betterment of
the communiy.
Mr. Davis closed his address by
stating that his own profession
Next week’s edition of The

Journalism Class of Summer

rection of Mr. Schroeder.

day, Monday, March 16, is the
actual deadline, Mr. Redwine
said, but he urged taxpayers not

Sumerville Parent-Teacher As
sociation and Summerville Chap

sponsor a “Family Night” Tues
day, March 17, 7:30 p.m. at the

P.-T.A. Program Chairman.
Mrs. Bob Jones says a well

the meeting.
This “get together” will take
place of the regular P.-T.A.

that is the legal profession suf
fers more than any one from
bad public relations He stated
that in the practice of law there
are no secrets and that contrary
to popular belief the practice of
law is not the trying of criminal
cases in court. "The public as a
whole," Mr. Davis said, "thinks
the prictice of law is defending
criminals, whereas the legal pro
fession spends I dare say less
than ten per cent of its time in
this particular service.” He con
tinued that most lawyers are
good, sound honest men who
dally concern themselves in a
world of business involving
practically every function of
dally living, of the legal phases
of every business to every deal
ing between two people. "The
legal profession." Mr Davis
added, “falls in Its program of
good public relations because it
falls to let the public know of
BO'T or more of Its dally func
tions and instead lets the public
form its opinion of the profes
sion from the spectacular news
paper accounts of ax murders
and so forth."

G. E. A. ADOPTS
10-YEAR PLAN
A ten-year program to give the
children of Georgia an Adequate
Program of Education was ap
proved last Friday by the Dele
gate Assembly of the Georgia
Education Association and also
by the County Superintendents,
Board Members, and Trustees, in
their resolutions calling for long
range school planning.
This long-range plan for an
orderly development of Georgia
schools was based on recommen
dations of Jim D. Cherry, De-
Kalb County Superintendent of
Schools and former president of
the GEA. As Superintendent of
DeKalb Schools, Mr. Cherry is
carrying out a long range plan
for school services in DeKalb
County.
In urging adoption of the Ade
quate Program, Mr. Cherry
pointed out that there are now
90,000 more Georgia children be
tween the ages of one and five
than there were six years ago
when the Minimum Foundation
Program was approved by the
Legislature. He estimated that
the education of these children
would require the expenditure of
$45,000,000 for buildings and
equipment, and $10,000,000 an
nually for teachers and instruc
tional aids.
Mr. Cherry also stressed the
need for improving and expand
ing vocational education and
caring for handicapped chil
dren.
“The program for vocational
education must be expanded”, he
said. “Every future homemaker
should have an opportunity to
take homemaking education.
Every future Georgia farmer
should have access to a vocation
al agriculture program. The fu
ture tradesman should have
training in trade and industrial
education and distributive edu
cation. The handicapped adult
should have the benefit of Voca
tional Rehabilitation services.”
Tire three most serious prob
| lems confronting Georgia educa
| tion today, Mr. Cherry said, are
‘ these:
1. To provide buildings and
equipment and teachers and oth
er instructional services for the
I additional 90,000 children of pre
! school. This will require more
; than $45,000,000 annually for op
erational purposes, at the sched-
I ule of the Minimum Foundation.
2. To provide a program of
I studies at the high school level
| which will decrease drop-outs. At
the present time approximately
half of Georgia boys and girls
are leaving high school before
graduation.
3. To provide a program for
the thousands of handicapped
children.
Mr. Cherry pointed out that
teacher salaries are an essential
part of any long-range educa
tional plan.
“If we are to provide every
Georgia boy and girl with a com
petent, well-trained teacher, we
must develop a schedule of sal
aries comparable with other pro
fessions", he said.
"School reorganization must be
completed, to provide a stable,
efficient method of administer
ing school affairs. Greater local
support must be encouraged, for
the state cannot carry the full
load of financing educational
services."
The GEA also approved an
educational and publicity cam
paign to Inform the people of
Georgia of the educational
needs.
