GEORGIA BANS SALE OF ALL INTOXICANTS ON VICTORY DAY » ———— No intoxicants of any kind will be sold in Georgia on Victory Day and for the two days following. Revenue Commissioner Eugene Cook, who pre viously had ordered all liquor stores to close on V-Day and the next two days, last week explained his order to require that no beer or wine be sold at that time either. Establishments selling beer and wine, but primarily engaged in other business, will not be required to close, but are prohibited from sales of alco holic beverages. Enforcement of the regulation will rest with the local law enforcement officers in the communi ties where Georgia’s three thousand holders of beer and wine licenses are located. Commissioner Cook issued his ordei after representatives of the Brewing Industry Foundation, eGorgia Com mittee, and various civic and religious leaders had conferred with him and advocated the order. Representatives of the Brewing Industry expressed their desire to co-operate with the Revenue Commissioner’s determina tion that Georgia’s celebration oi V-Day shall be a sober one. “Everyone has joined hands in the determination that our celebration on /-Day shall reflect nothing except the oy occasioned by the release from all 'uture danger of millions of our men and women and of millions of op pressed people,” Cook said. “Such an occasion, in its very nature, should be a reverent one. I have every as surance that dealers who hold state licenses for the sale of any type of alcoholic beverages will co-operate with us, and that local officials throughout Georgia will enforce this regulation.” GEORGIANS ACTIVE IN DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES J.

Soil Conservation News By G. R. PEEPLES The Wheeler County AAA Commit tee met last week and set up a plan whereby farmers can get terraces built on the purchase order plan. Several applications have already been received to get terrace built and it is hoped that everyone needing ter races and not having facilities for running the lines or building the ter races will take advantage of this program and make application with the local AAA office as soon as possi ble so that they might have some idea as to how much equipment will be necessary to carry on a successful program. Farmers, now is a good time to be getting your winter cover crop ready for seeding. The rains we are having will give ideal moisture conditions and the earlier the crops are seeded the more success you will have with | them. The local AAA office reports that they wil have plenty of blue lu pine, austrian winter peas and Willa mette vetch seed available. The late harvest of peanuts will delay the seeding of peanut land and a good practice of seeding will be to seed ahead of the digging and cover seed with the digging operation. If you have not already done so, you should check with the AAA office or an individual fertilizer dealer to see if you can get all the phosphate or basic slag needed for your winter crops as the fertilizing is one of the most important factors in securing a successful growth. In some instances blue lupine has shown a little better results where basic alag was used however, if basic slag is not available juperphaaphata ihOlud Ml WWm GLENWOOD GARDEN CLUBSEPT.MEETING The September moeting of the Glenwood Garden club metal the home of.Mrs. Edgar Stone, with Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Robby Murphey and Mrs. A.

Russell has been advised by the War Department that for each member of our Armed Forcesfi re gardless of his branch of service, who mis died in service, the Government provides an American Flag measur ing 5 feet by 9 feet six inches, which is presented to his family. If the boy died in this country and his body was returned to his home for burial, the War Department pre sumes that the Burial Flag that ac companied the body was retained by his family. . 1 Those boys, however, who died overseas were buried for the dura tion near where they died and in those cases a flag is available to their families upon simply filling out a brief application and presenting U7° of ^ath. The notice from the War Department, Senator Russell was told, received by the family is ample proof. Those familiese who have not re ing out Form 2008, which can be pro ceived a flag may obtain one by fill cured from the nearest Veterans’ Ad ministration Office or the local post ofnee. The form should be mailed or taken tl ™ earcs . t Veterans’ Administra tion Office, with Notice of Death, and a statement that a flag has not been received. Senator Russell feels that those who have not received flags will wish to obtain one at the earliest moment and will be glad to assist in that con nection. “I think it most fitting,” asserted Senator Russell, “that the War De partment should offer to the families of those who have made the supreme sacrifice this emblem which is sym bolic of all for which we fight.” GEORGIA PRODUCTS WEEK SET FOR NOVEMBER 12-18; COMMITTEE NAMED Civic clubs, women’s organizations, patriotic groups and others through out the state will this year observe Georgia Products Dinners Week” during the peeriod of November 12- result of a.movement initiated m the State Division of Conservation.

INCREASE IN DEATH FROM TUBERCULOSIS A slight increase in the death rate from tuberculosis in Georgia during 1943 is shown in figures released by the State Health Department. Deaths from the disease were 41.7 per 100,- 000 population as compared with 40.5 in 1942. The total number of deaths was 1,304 and 3,067 new cases of tu berculosis were reported last year. In announcing the figures, Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, state health director, state the downward trend in tuber culosis had slowed up and warned that war conditions would undoubt edly bring a further increase in the disease unless every precaution was taken to prevent its spread. “Resistance to the disease is low ered under such wartime conditions as undue physical and mental strain, long hours of work, inadequate diet, crowded housing and the unwise use of leisure time,” Dr. Abercrombie said. Tuberculosis is reported to be epi m?c m warring European- countries, the health director added, and warned that a sustained decline in this dis ease cannot be expected to continue unless all resources of both official and voluntary health forces are mo bilized to combat the disease. Noticeable increases have been re ported in the number of death from tuberculosis in highly industrial areas throughout the United States, Dr. Abercrombie pointed out, and said thia waa particularly significant in Georgia among the white population in Macon and Atlanta.
