EXTRA SESSION CALL
ISSUED FOR MAY IST
Atlanta, April 12. —Governor
Hardman late Friday issued a
call for a special session of the
Georgia Legislature to meet at
11 a m. May 1. The Legislators
are to consider Confederate pen
sions and vital matters of state
finance.
Gov. Hardman said:
“There is nothing left for me
to do except issue a call fora
special session. I didn’t suggest
it. I have sought and suggested
means to avoid it. The legisla
ture did its best in the regular
session, but revenues have failed
to develop commensurate with
expectancies.
“I feel that it is only fair to the
legislators to give them an oppor
tunity to adopt a financial pro
gram that will work. We have
borrowed upto our limit, and
there is nothing else to do.”
A number of legislators, in
cluding R. B. Russell, Jr., of
Winder, speaker of the House,
visited the executive offices Fri
day seeking information.
Mostly they were of the opin
ion that a session now is ill-ad
vised, but that they will coope
rate with the Governor in his
wishes.
Shortly after noon Governor
Hardman left the Capitol to con
tinue at the mansion the work of
writing the call.

More Fish in the Menu
— Less '>rk at Meals
By JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON
Director, Home Economics Dept.,
H. J. Heinz Company
FISH is a valuable body build
ing food, and wise cooks give
it a definite place in the
every-day diet.
To be palatable, with full ap
peal of flavor, fish requires care
ful and unusual seasoning. The
skillful use of a small amount of
tomato ketchup or chili sauce, a
few drops of onion juice, or per
haps a dash of Worcestershire
sauce, takes fish out of the realm
of commonplace foods and makes
it an unusually attractive dish.
The following recipes show
how truly delicious, yet easily and
quickly prepared, fish may be:
Halibut Creole
2 lbs. halibut; 'A cu» tomato ketchup:
1 tablespoon onioa juice: 2 tablespoons
butter; 2 tablespoons flour; salt and
pepper.
Place the ketchup, water and
onion juice in a pan and heat to
boiling point. Mix butter and
flour together, and stir into the
sauce. When it boils, season with
salt and pepper, and cook for
several minutes. Pour boiling
water into a deep pan to a depth
of one-half inch. Lay fish tn it
for one minute, skin side down.
Remove from water and take off
skin. Place in a well buttered
pan, and season with salt and
pepper. Top with slices of pickle,
and pour half the tomato sauce
over the fish. Bake 30 to 45 min
utes, basting with remaining to
mato sauce. Garnish with pars
ley and serve the fish surrounded
with sauce from the baking pan.
Tuna Fish with Pickle Sauce
1 cup canned (or cooked) tuna fish'
2 tablespoons butter; 2 tablespoons flour;
% teaspoon salt; 1% caps milk; 3 table
spoons chopped sweet pickle; paprika;
1 tablespoon minced parsley; dash of
Worcestershire Sauce.
Steam fish over hot water until
heated. Melt butter in saucepan,
add flour and salt, then gradually
add milk. Cook until thick and
add the chopped pickle. Place
fish on platter, pour sauce over
it, and sprinkle with paprika and
parsley.
Little Sharpton Child
Succumbs to Burns.
iThe little four year old daught
er of Mr. and Mrs. N. T. Sharp
ton, living a few miles south of
Alamo, who was severely burned
two weeks ago, died at six o’clock
last Monday afternoon.
The little child’s clothing be
came ignited while playing
around the fire under a wash pot
in the yard, and as she screamed
ont her mother, who was in the
house, rushed to her, her cloth
ing being aflame, in extinguish
iAg the flames Mrs. Sharpton’s
hands were badly burned.
The child’s body was badly
burned, also the hair on the back
of its head, but for some time
hopes were held out for her re
covery, but the end came very
suddenly Monday. It is said the
little one suffered a great deal.
Interment was in the City ce
metery Tuesday afternoon, the
funeral services being conducted
by Rev. Roy Gardner.

INCOME TAX LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
Atlanta, April 15. —Constitu-
tionality of the Boyken income
tax law, passed by the legisla
ture, was upheld by unanimous
decision of the state supreme
court Wednesday, and collection
of taxes not paid pending the de
cision will be undertaken at once.
Governor Hardman, who called
for a copy of the decision, imme
diately after it was handed down,
said that it would have no effect
on his call for a special session
of the legislature on May 1, but
that it might alter the subjects
for which the session was called.
The law, which provides a state
income tax equal to one-third the
federal income tax, was passed
to become operative the last three
months of 1929. Shortly after
passage of the act, however, two
tax-payers brought injunction
suits against R. C. Norman, state
tax commissioner, seeking to re
strain enforcement of the act on
the grounds that it was uncon
stitutional.
While it has been in litigation,
the law has been inoperative, but
payments which would have been
made except for the court pro
ceedings now must be paid.
It is estimated that the bill
will provide approximately $4,-
500,000 annually for the state.
The original petition set out
three general specifications of
unconstitutionality.
IN MEMORY OF OUR
MOTHER
Another silver cord is broken,
has triumphed over the grave,
and a happy spirit rests with
God. She’s gone —my mother,
my precious, my own, she’s gone
where never a tear is shed.
Where of pain there’s never a
moan. She’s gone—it’s selfish of
me to desire her back on this
earth of strife and sin—it seems
so hard to give her up, but the
Lord giveth and the Lord taketb.
Oh, what could I give her to com
pare with the peace and joy and
love, that is hers in the Mystic
“over there,” that is hers in the
great above. But we trust that
the day will soon come, when we
can see her loving face once again.
Where we shall never part on
that bright and happy shore.
We know that she cannot come
back to us, but we can go to her,
it we will do the will of the Mast
er. Oh, it is so sad to go in and
cannot see the face that was so
dear and sweet to us, and cannot
hear the voice that spoke so kind.
She’s gone, those precious eyes
so dear to me are closed to scenes
here below, but in Heaven the
wondrous things they see no
mortal on earth can know. Her
pale face is smiling now, her eyes
are sparkling with joyful mirth.
Her sweet voice sings, smooth is
her brow.
She is safe from all the cares
of earth. She’s gone, I’m sad.
Dear mother thou hast left us
and our loss we deeply feel, but
tis God that has bereft us; He
can all our sorrow heal, yet again
we hope to meet thee, when the
day of life is fled, when in Heav
en with joy to greet thee, where
no farewell tears are shed. Fare
well dear mother, but not forev
| er, there will be a glorious dawn,
; we shall meet to part no never,
on the resurrection morn.
