{ \“\ R 0 Y ,";gsouns __L; 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.

MWheeler Gminty Tagle 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.” "?' Mk R AR Judge J. Eilis Pope, of Lyons -1 will be in Alamo Saturday.. JUDGE E. C.
