DEVOTED TO THE HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY OF THE HOMES, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES OF ALAMO AND WHEELER COUNTY.-
Volume 29
Indication of an unusual con~
dition in this year’s gubernatoris
al campaign formed the theme of
an analysis given out by James
S. Peters fiom Talmadge head~
quarters in Atlanta friday,
~*“This is the first time the pre~
sent generation has ever elected
a povernor in war time,” Mr.
Peters explained. 'Knowing that
our peogle were primarily inters
ested in the war and were already
anxiously scanning news of
casualties from distant battles
fronts, Governor Talmadge felt
that it was in proper inflict
partisan politics upon them until
they could be assured of a short
cympaign. For that reason he
postpned any announcement of
his personal political plans until
the last day for closing formal
entries for this year’s primary.
Ia the meantime, hßwever, his
opponent had been an avowed
candidate and had waged an acs
tive canvas for nearly nine
months.
“When times are calm and the
people are frez from trouble, an
easy going Governor can get
along all right,”” Mr. Peters de
clared. *‘But when we are in the
midst of a crisis that overs
shadows any emergenck Georgia
has ever kuown, the governors
ship is the center of gravity for
the entire State. Only a strong
man with unusual willpower can
then measure up to the extra
responsibility of the hour. The
people recognize that now is no
time to experrment with untried
talent, particularly when our
present Governor has shown a
remarkable genius to lead us out
of the fog cf confusionand hope~
less despair that marked the
early days of his present term.”
According to the present sches
dule, the Govenor's personal
speaking engagement include his
appearance at Dawsoa, in Terrell
county, on Wednesday, August
12th, his usual we:kly radio
broadeast over Station WSB at
10:30 Friday evening, the 14uh,
and a speech at Dalton, in which
he will make his initial address
in Northwesst Ge»>igia, on Sat~
urday afternoon, August 15th.
Governor Talmadge will speak
Monday, August 17th, at Baxley.
from 11:30 to 1 P. M. Everybody
invited.

VOLUNTEERS GALLED
| FOR LUNGH ROOMS
' -
A call for volunteers to oper~
|ate appreoximately 500 of the
11,000 school lunchrooms in Geor
| gia which last year were staffed
| by the Work Piojacts Administrs
|ation has been sounded by State
WPA Administrator Hamy E.
Harman, Jr. He said: |
The lunchrooms where 23,000,
000 hot lunches were served
|school children during the last
school year have demonstrated
their worth. The children gained
| weight, had fewer colds, lost
|fewer days from school, and im~
|proved in their studies, The
|teacher, the parents, and all
agree the school lunch program
|in Georgia has been one of the
finest contributions to better
health and better living in the
state.
“We discovered last year that
in more cases than we would care
to ad mit the hot lunch served the
children at the school lunchroom
at ncon was the only hot meal
they got.
“Those facts malke it doubly
painful to cnnounce uhat the
WPA will have to withdraw as~
sistance in approximately 500
of the lunchrooms with the bes
ginning of the school year.
"Last year 1,824 volunteer
workers, mothers, teachers, and
others who realized the value of
the lunchrooms, contributed
more than 10 hours each a month
to the work in the lunchrooms. 1
sincerely hope these conscientis
ous persons will realize the
deprivations that will come if it
i 8 necessary to close the lunch~
rooms in the schools in their
community, and will enlist other
volunteers to ke2p them operat.
ing. It is nufortunate that there
is not sufficient funds tocarry on
this very important work.”

Looks like 1t is the hardest
thing in the world to get up much
excitement in these politicak

think that we are all set to give
some time to whooping up our

will spring semething new that
will take charge of our minds,
and out goes our political fight.
Folks already krow about what
they are going to do on election
day anyway, so we may get the
places fiilled withaut so much
hard political thinking anyway.
We sure are learning our
geography these days, why we
know so much more about the
