US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
The relative reunion and visit'
ing season is on again, but this
country summer gathering is
beginning to slowdown. With
this the old country stove is
fading out. May be that every
body gets so much wind in their
faces riding the gas buggies,
that they just can’t stand the
heat the old faithful stove
throws out. One more thing is
crippling these big dinners, in
stead of every body joining in
and helping, about these Fourths
get back in the gas buggies and
ride until the good old dinner is
ready. Then after a lot of brag
ging on it, they get back into the
gas buggies and ride off and leave
the dirty dishes.

Ranson W. Foster
We, your committee, beg to
say of our beloved brother the
following: Ranson Wm. Foster
left us on Juno 22, 1941, and we ।
will miss him more than we can I
ever tell. He was always so mod
est, refined and good to us all.
We loved him as a brother in
deed and in truth.
He was born November 23rd,
1889, in South Carolina, joining
the Baptist c.hurch 3rd Sunday
in August, 1903 and moved to
Georgia in 1911, taking an active
part in the creation of our good
county. He was an active memb
er in our church and we looked
to him for counsel. To know him
was to love him. He leaves a wife
and 7 chiidren, 2 dead, six of his
hildren are members of our
church, with his fine wife. He
was from a prominent family in
South Carolina. His uncle was
sheriff of Anderson county for
years. He was a director of the
Sowega Melon association and
had the respect, confidence and
love of all who knew him. He will
be missed in his home life, an
ideal husband and loving father,
and one of the best neighbors
ever.
In token of our love, esteem
and devotion, we ask that a copy

Training For Defense
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence Schools
THERE is little doubt that some
of the methods and measures
that have been instituted recently
by industry as
emergency fea
tures will be
come permanent, .
especially those
concerned with
the training of
skilled workmen.
There are many
reasons why
American indus-
I
4^l '
o
I
Rufus T. Strohm .
try prior to the
war in Europe had neglected ap
prentice training programs; how
ever, that situation is being rapidly
corrected.
Probably the best equipped indus
tries in the United States at the
outset of the defense program, as
far as training goes, were those of
the New England states. There
long-term apprentice systems and
state industrial schools had long
existed and were quickly geared to
defense needs. In Connecticut and
Massachusetts, where many small
but vital industries are gathered
closely geographically, community
training programs, financed by the
state but definitely operated by and
for the industries of the area, have
been successfully and rapidly de
veloped.
From the experience of the years
and the accelerated experience of
meeting emergency training prob
lems of the last few months, indus
try is learning much. When the crisis
passes, it will have at its command
the greatest army of skilled work
men in world history —and the
greatest plant facilities.
Now is a good time for manage
ment to begin thinking about the
future. Needs of the moment
obviously must be the major con
sideration, but lessons learned
should not be forgotten. Some day
the army of skilled workmen now
being created must be utilized and
still further expanded. It is a prob- j
lem that must be answered by in- 1
dustry itself.
Mr. Jesse Crawford, returned
to his home in New York, after
spending the Fourth here with
his father, Mr. W. E. Crawford,
Sr. Little William, son of Mr.
and Mrs, Gordon Crawford, res
turned to New York with lim
to spend some time.

“Uncle Bill” Crawford
Celebrates 81st Birthday
It was certainly a gala day out
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
E. Crawford, a few miles from
Alamo, on the Glorious Fourth.
This was Mr. Crawford’s 81st
birthday, which as usual, he
celebrates by having all of his
children and friends gather. This
was an extra occasion, how
ever, for the true patriotic spirit
prevailed, due to the fact that we
should, as never before, be ap
preciative that we live in a land
of freedom —people of other
countries know nothing of such.
The Fourth can be appreciated
more than ever before.
A tine repast was spread at
the noon hour where tables had
been prepared for the occasion.
On these tables foods of every
kind were placed. Chicken, pork,
cakes and pies, together with all
the trimmings, filled this long
festive board and all sat to enjoy
the good things to eat, which
Mrs. Crawford is so capable 0(
preparing.
His children present were: Mr.
and Mrs. Willie Crawford and
family, Mr. and Mrs. Norris
Chavis, Soperton; Mrs. Lilly
Beck and family, Tarrytown; Mr.
and Mrs. Gordon Crawford and
family, Mr. Jesse Crawford, of
New York; Mr. and Mrs. John
Crawford, Mr, and Mrs, Robert
Joiner and family, of Columbus.
Others included Mr. and Mrs.
Dock Crawford, a-ud Leroy
Crawford and Miss Carrie Craw*
ford, of Sparta, nephews and
nieces.
Two Colored Boys
Visits Native Home
David Fields colored, in the
army for 25 years, was home
last week end. He has been
stationed at Fort Benning, and
has made rapid strides as a
soldier for Uncle Sam. He is
hoping to be retired in about
five years. He is ranking as a
master sargent. Also James
Roberson, another colored boy,
who has been in Elizabeth, New
Jersey for the past twelve years,
is home. James happened to a
accident while working in a
rubber factory, disabling him
from work, and is being looked
after by the company.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Crawford,
Sr., Mr. and Mrs. John Crawford,
Mr. Jesse Crawford and William
Crawford spent Wednesday of
last week in Brunswick.

Ralph E. Carlisle, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ira Carlisle, of Cairo, Rev.
J. F. Snell, pastor of the Alamo
Methodist caurch officiated and
music was presented by Merrill
Gross, soloist, and Mrs, Wade
McDaniel, of Blackshear, pianist
The vows were spoken before
an improvised altar of Southern
pines which formed the back*
ground for tall, seven branched
candelabras and baskets of lovely
white gladioli. The white candles
were lighted by the ushers, Don
Gross and Burnam Pope.
Miss Sara McDaniel, sister Os
the bride, was maid of honor.
Entering with her father, by
whom she was given in marriage,
the bride was met at the altar by
the groom and Edwin Carlisle,
brother of the groom, who acted
as best man.

navy and white hat and white
accessories. Her corsage was of
white carnations.
Mrs. Carlisle is a graduate of
the Wheeler County High seboo}

Among the out of town guests
were: Mr. and Mrs. Ira Carlisle
Edwin Carlisle and Miss Maurice
Carlisle, of Cairo, and Mr. and
Mrs. T. C. Teate, of Crestview,
Florida.
IF AND WHEN
■ i
The suggestion has been made
to all Legion Post of Georgi*
that if and when we get the word
that our defense fores have com*
menced firing, plans should be
made well ahead of the event for
a special meeting of all World
War Veterans in every Georgia
Co. to be held at 8: p. m. on the
night the news “break’’ The
purpose ot the meeting would be
to renew our pledge of allegience
to the principles to the principle*
of the American League and to
our county.
Also to adopt resolutions giv
ing assurance that we are unit
ed today as solidly as we were
in 1917 to 18, Every Georgi*
veteran should be prepared to
drop everything, to cancel any
previous engagement he may
nave for the evening and attend
the rally in his community at 8
on the same night the news
breaks.
It is expected that this will be
a state wide event if and when
this occasion shall arise. Buddies
when the bugle sounds don’t
forget Old Glory” it still waves
high.
Lets count off.
