DEWEY’S FOREIGN POLICY
The American people are advised
that thtre ik bound to be a lot of
“doubletaik” between now and No
• lumber 7 by those interested in the
defeat of President Roosevelt but it
Is duly what a man said or how a
candidate voted on National Defense
measures BEFORE Pearl Harbor that
should really count with the Ameri
, can voter. ■ - ‘
Hera we have a quotation from a
man who is adviser to Gov. Dewey on
foreign affairs. What this man had to
say THEN and what he has to say
NOW should yive the American people
something to’ think about before they
vote in November.
Drew Pearson, in a recent Sunday
night broadcast over one of the major
networks, according to PM News
paper, Criticised John Fokter Dull I,
foreign affairs adviser to Thomas E.
Dewey, charging that Dulles publicly
declared, a few months before the war
started, that there was no danger of
th Axis attempt on the U.S.A.
Pearson quoted Dulles as telling the
New York Economic Club in April,
1939:
“There is no reason to believe that
any totalitarian states, separately or
collectively, would attempt to attack
the United States. Only hysteria en
tertains the idea that Germany, Italy
or Japan contemplates war upon us.
According to Pearson, Dulles de
scribed the Axis people as 'dynamic
peoples determined to mold their state
into a form Which would permia them
to take destiny into their own hands.
“That was exactly what they did—
took destiny in their own hands at
Pearl Harbor,” Pearson commented,
adding:
•“Mr. Dulles made this amazing
apology after Japan had invaded al
most one-half of China, after Hitler
had annexed Austria, after he had
seized the Rhineland, after he had
taken all of Czechsiovakia, and when
every competent newspaperman knew
when he would invade Poland.
"Therefore, I wonder whether the
short-Sighted Mr. Dulles, sitting in
Wall Street fbr many years, is the
man for the Republican party.”
"WHO’S WHO” SAYS “Dewey —
. 11 t
We admit all that they say from
Clara Luee to Dewey himself. No
doubt about it, Dewey has all of the
requirements, and more too. However,
as good aS’ Dewey maybe, Roosevelt
is better, for having done it, started
with it, laid out the plans, after
breakfast tomorrow morning he knows
just what to do and where to go.
With Dewey, he would have to turn
to someone and say, 1 “Well, what’j
next? Where do we go from here.
You know this is all new to me.”
But the issue is too damn important
to take a chance with breaking in the
new, however competent. A delay, a
^■conception, a wrong move at this
time might be fatal. -At least it would
cost lives that under the experienced
direction and care of the Commander
in«Chlef might be spared:
In a woiA Mr. aad Mrs. American
voter,- the lives of our sons are too
precious to be sacrificed through a
change of leadership.

FOREST FIRE, PROTECTION
IN GEORGIA
By Paul W. Groom
State Forest Fire Warden
The annual meeting of the Forest
Rangers of the State Department of
Forestry was held in Waycross this
month. Meeting on the State’s ope
rated 87,000 acre forest, the men
were shown what fire protection can
do in a period of ten years.
Land adjacent to the protected
area was shown where only a fence
marked the boundary. The land on
one side of the fence had been burnt
annually and had only a scattering
of mature trees. On the protected
lands we had the scattered mature
trees and under them young pines
fifteen and twenty feet in height
which had grown since protection
was established.
O. J. Peevy, project forester for
this area said: “Ten years ago
when we placed this land under pro
tection the timber on both sides of
the fence was alike, but today we
are exactly ten years ahead of them.
We can cut our mature timber today
and have another crop in five years
and crops of timber every five years
from now on, but if they cut their
timber it will be twenty years be
fore they can hope to cut again and
fifty or more years if they don’t es
tablish protection soon.”
In addition to the results of fire
protection, demonstrations of all fire
fighting equipment were ’given.
Rangers were shown how to operate
this equipment most efficiently in
fighting forest fire.

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
By G. R. Peeples
Now is a busy time and the short
'age of labor will leave many things
undone that should be done, but don’t
put off seeding your winter cover
crops. Right now is the best time you
will ha*e to get this done. It is not
early enough for the hot sun to kill
the young plants, yet it is early
enough to get a good root system
established to withstand the cold
weather during the winter. It is true
that on some crops a fair growth hat

but the growth is usually delayed if
not killed by the cold and the growth
in the spring is much later, and only
late summer crops can follow if full
benefit is received, if you get a good
root system established before it gets
too cold the growth in the spring will
be earlier, therefore getting enough
growth to turn under in time to get
an early seeding of summer crops.

TRIBUTE TO MRS. MAGGIE
RIVERS
After several month’s illness, pa
tiently borne, although with intense
suffering, the Spirit of Mrs. Maggie
Bomar Rivers passed into the “Great
beyond” on Wednesday, June 7th.
Mrs. Rivers was born August 27,
1882 near Douglasville in Douglas
County. She became a member of
Chapel Hill Baptist Church while a
young woman.
In early womanhood she moved with
her parents to Glenwood and became
affiliated with the local church. _
In January of 1905 she married to
Homer W. Rivers, two manly sons
blessed this union.
Those who knew her best know ahe
went away soothed by an unfaltering
trust in the “Giver of every good and
perfect gift.” She expressed herself
as being wolling and ready to go.
Mrs. Rivers was a scholar. She
studied the Bible and knew it as few
others. She appreciated good litera
ture and friends calling would often
times find her exhausted, she saying,
“I have just finished reading a book.”
She loved the beautiful, and was
ever interested in making the house
of worship more attractive. A shot
while before her passing she helped
to arrange flowers for preaching
service, perhaps realizing it would be
her last time.
Mrs. Rivers taught the ladies l|ble
class in Sunday School for a number
of years, and was faithful as long as
health permitted. She was president
of the local W. M. S. for a period of
tinw and under her leadership much
good was accomplished. She also held
office in the W. M. S. of the Daniel
Association.
In her passing she leaves two sons.
Lee A. Rivers of Savannah and Mel
meth Rivers of U. S. Navy, two
grandchildren, two brothers, besides
several nieces and nephews and qj£er
relatives.
Her funeral was conducted at Glen
wood Baptist Church with a former
nastor, Rev. R. L. Robsinson officiat
ing assisted by Rev. J. H. Allen of
Mount Vernon.
Interment was in Glenwood..ceme
tery by her husband of whom she so
often said, “I’ve never gotten ac
customed to not hearing his foot
steps." Many beautiful flowers covered
the newly made grave.
Be it therefore resolved:
First. Wherein, God in his wisdom
called one of our members from our
midst, our church and its auxiliaries
have lost a loyal and faithful member.
Second: That we bow in humble
submission to the will of God, “He is
too wise to make a mistake and too
good to be unkind.”
Third: That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our
church, a copy be sent the county
paper and Christian Index for publi
cation.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. L. W. Kent
Mrs. A. J. Grimes
Mrs. J. E. Joiner.
nephritis CAUSES many
DEATHS IN THE STATE
Nephritis, or inflammation of the
kidneys, was second in the list of
causes of death of Georgians in
1943, according to figures released
by the State Health Department.
This disease was responsible for 3,-
139 deaths, or 10.6 per cent of all
that occurred last year.
Acute nephritis, the health depart
ment bulletin indicates, comes on
suddenly and may result in death in
a few days.
Chronic nephritis, known as
Bright’s disease, is indicated to be
more frequent and usually follows
infections such as scarlet fever,
streptococcic throat, pneumonia,
inflammation of the sinus bones and
glands. The symptoms of chronic
nephritis are listed as increase in
blood pressure and swelling of the
tissues.
To prevent serious disturbances of
the kidney, the State Health Depart
ment recommends early detection as
being of the utmost importance.
Kidney ailments manifest themselves
at m early date by the presence of
albumin in the urine or by changes >
in the blood which indicate the kid
ney is not doing its work satisfac
torily, the health bulletin shows.
Regular physical examination is
urged by the State Health Depart
ment to detect kidney disease at
an early stage when much can be
done to control its progress. Early
detection of high blood pressure is
also urged.
Prevention of infection, the health
department warns, is an important
means of preventing inflammation of
the kidneys, as is the limitaion of
work that the kidney must do. Suit
able control of the diet is also
