W tater Gnunty Bujlr SALES TAX VOTED MW In a program sponsored by the Wheeler County Social and Politi cal Forum in Glenwood Saturday ! afternoon, the sales tax proposi ' tion underwent a very severe ' pro and con discussion. Several ' speakers were on the provised truck platform and were intro- 1 duced by the President of the' ' club. Rev. C. M. Ledbetter made a very telling adress on politics ' in general which finally developed 1 into a severe criticism of the sales ' sax proposition. Hon. J. Mcßae Clements, the present member of the Legislature from Wheeler county spoke at some length on ‘ various taxing proposition. Mr. Clements did not express him-. ' self either for or against a sales tax. Mr. B. C. Pierce, attorney, took a very bold stand against the proposition of Sales fax and ' discussed it at great length as . viewed by the States that have adopted the measure, showing that some of the States had re ' pealed the law, and many others ' were trying to repeal notably, California who had petitioned its Legislative body with petitions of more than a million of voters to have the law repealed. Other 1 speakers were on the program on various questions of a local 1 nature. At the close of the pro ’ gram a vole was taken on the 1 sales tax proposition and outot an assemblage of some three ’ hundred people, only one vote was cast in favor of Sales Tax. The vote was rather indicative of 1 the sentiment in Wheeler county which stands almost unani mously against a Sales Tax being ■ foisted on the people of Georgia 1 by the contemplated extra sts : sion of the Georgia Legislature.

A Lie is Believed “A lie is believed,” writes Adolf Hitler, “whenjtis asserted boldly, impudently and repeated constantly.” Experience indi cates that Hitler was right. For five years or more the editor, Mr. Hearst, Mr. Gibson, j the Liberty League, and all the Republicans have reiterated, boldly and impudently, the same lie. That lie is that Franklin D ; Roosevelt is an enemy to demo cracy and unfit to govern the United States. It has taken a few different forms of expression , but they all mean the same thing. And now it has been pounded by ' sheer repitition into the con -1 sclousness of the American public. A lie is believed—and the , great humanitarian is defeated ALAMO, GEORGIA,.

Arnall ruled recently. The opinion was given after some of the schools had proposed to charge fees and tu tition to students for attending. The effort ti exact charges from pupils was made because of the acute shortage of funds, school officials said. Attorney General Arnall held that no child can be legally re fused an education because the child’s parents are too poor to pay fees or tuition sought to be collected. “Under our Constitution and law, the common schools are free to all the children of the State, regardless of whether they are rich are poor,” Arnall said.

BRING’EM MCI ME FROM mm The good old summer time is the time of unusual dangers. The speeding motorcar is the most important, but there are many others not so well known, hence more treacherous, Every summerthe old swimming hole, the lakes, and the rivers take a heavy toll of life. Other casualties result from lightning, wind, floods,! excessive heat, snake bite, sunburn, poisoning, falls, firearms and summer sports. Both’the high spirits and the relaxation of the season lead many persons to take chances ( and to attempt stunts that they would avoid at other times. In their eagerness to have a good time they rush recklessly into dangers without thinking of con sequences. Most vacation accidents are preventable What the vacation ist needs is practical knowledge of possible dangers and a willin gness to apply the well — known ounce of prevention. He needs to acquaint himself with unfamiliar surroundings in order to save himself the pain and discomfort of vacation accidents. This is a time when ignorance is not bliss. Alihough vacation safety islar. gely a matter ot personal respon sibility, it also offers a field sos community action (particularly with regard to the safety of chil dren. Local swimming places should be carefully inspected for bidden rocks, quicksand or trea cherous currents and posted for danger spots. Safe playgrounds should be provided. Traffic signs should be set to protect children in the vicinity of authorized play places. Parent Teacher Associations might well devote a part of their program to the consideration of child safety during the comming school year. B. T. U. Rally Held The monthly district B. T. U. rally was held Friday night, August 11th at eight thirty o’- clock at the Stuckey Baptist Church. There were several very inter esting talks given including the talk by Mr. D. F.
