Etta Lee McDameli
To Model Ouifit
At 4-H Congress ]
Etta Lee McDaniel still can’t!
believe it, but sure enough she’s’
going to be a model—and in Chi
cago, too! She will be amongfi
the 40 Georgians who leave At
lanta November 29 for the Na
tional 4-H Congress in Chicago.
Etta Lee receives the expense
paid trip for winning the state
championship in the 4-H dress
revue. The trip is awarded by
Simplicity Pattern Company.
The outfit she made to win the
state title and which she will
model in Chicago is a tailored
suit. The jacket is rust and black
novelty wool, and the skirt is
black wool and nylon flannel. The
jacket is short and flared. Nine
black button forms a figure in
front . Her blouse which is made
of white wool jersey has two soft
pleats at the neck which give it
a draped effect.
This outstanding 4-H’er de
signed the outfit herself, using
two different patterns. She makes
most of her clothes and carries
on various other 4-H activities.
She does her 4-H Club work un
der the supervision of Miss Ester
Godbee, home demonstration
agent for Wheeler County.
Etta Lee and the other Geor
gia delegates will join some 1,200
enthusiastic 4-H boys and’ girls
at the thirty-first National 4-H
Congress. These outstanding
young people — selected from
more tahn 2,000,000 Four-H’ers in
the 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico—are winners in 4-H
projects conducted through the
Agricultural Extension Service.
As Congress delegates, they
will receive various 4-H awards
arranged through the National
Committee on Boys and Girls
Club work, a citizens’ group
which lends support to the 4-H
program. More than 40 business
firms, foundations and public
spirited individuals provide the
National Committee with grants
totaling more than $750,000 to be
used for 4-H medals, trips, col
lege scholarships, watches, sav
ings bonds, leader training and
other aids.
These donors also sponsor edu
cational tours, meal events and
entertainment which make the
National 4-H Congress a memor
able experience. But festivities
don’t overshadow the sober pur
pose of the meeting, for the club
members have group discussions,
hear prominent speakers of the
nation, exchange ideas with
voung people from other coun
tries, and participate in other
stimulating features which stress
the 4-H theme of the year, “Serv
ing as Loyal Citizens Through
4-H.”

Many Georgians
Remember ‘Willie' l
- l
Word came from far-away Cali- ]
fornia the other day that William
David Upshaw died in a Glen
dale sanitarium of a circulatory
ailment at the age of 86. Not
many Georgians who grew up in‘
the last generation perhaps re- |
member the gentleman; many ofl
them probably never heard of |
him. But the old-timers remem-’[
ber him well. |
Born on a Coweta County farm |
near Newnan, “Ernest Willie”!
Upshaw, a cripple since he was |
18 years old, for many years was |
one of Georgia’s most colorfuli
figures in religious and political |
circles. He was Georgia’s Fifthi
District representtive from 1918}
to 1927; ran unsuccessfully for |
the presidency of the TUnited
States in 1932 on the Prohibition
ist ticket and for the U. S. Sen
ate (against Richard B. Russelll
Jr.) in 1942. ;
Mr. Upshaw became, success- |
fully, an author whose writingsl
paid off, a poet, a lay preacher, a |
successful politician, an ordainedé
Baptist minister and a profession- 5
al public speaker in wide demand. i
In fact, according to reports, his |
last speaking tour of 22 states and ‘
seven European countries taxed |
his strength to such an extentl
that illness followed; and two
weeks later he died.
. “Earnest Willie,” or the “Geor~
gia Cyclone,” as he was later
frequently referred to, died as he
had lived most of his life—proud |
of the label the nation itself had |
tacked onto him as the ‘“driest of |
the drys.” For some 70 years he |
had waged active and relentless!
war against liquor.” Yes, “Willie”l
Upshaw was a definite part of|
Georgia in bygone years. His |
passing closes an interesting chap- [
ter in our history.
Marines’ “New"”
Weapon Revealed .
WITH THE MARINES IN KO
REA—Leathernecks of the famed
First Marine Division in Korea
have unlimbered a ‘“new” wea-i
pon—new, that is, to the Korean
front. l
It’s silent . ; . deadly .. . andg
so simple a child could make!
one. In fact, children do makel
them. Because, you see, this|
“new” Marine weapon is a sling-l
shot—Kking size. !
Here’s how the Leatherneck}
model works. First, Marines fit|
a thick inner tube over a tree.
Then, eight men pull the big
rubber band far back and put a
grenade in it. After some highlyl
unscientific aiming calculations,
the tube is released suddenly and!
off goes the grenade sailing for
the Chinese lines.
Originally, the big slingshot |
was used to hurl canned foods in- |
to front-line Marine outposts. But, ‘
officers clamed down on the ra-l
tions-by-air-mail operation after‘
one Leatherneck was literally
“beaned” by a box of incoming|
food. !
The Marines figure that ifj
beans can do that to a Leather-|
neck, the iron “eggs” they’re us
ing now must be giving the Reds ;
a real headache. |

Os War Vets i
|
! Georgia members of The Ameri- |
‘can Legion have been asked to
‘help with the 1952 nation-wide
'Crusade for Freedom. Depart-i
'ment Commander J. Ben Warren |
| of Monticello has suggested that |
Ethe 311 Posts, with a total of 52,-;
500 members, make Post homes
iavailable for distribution of in
| formation materials on the Cru
sade and that Leegionnaires
volunteer their services in the
drive, beginning on December 7
and continuing through Christ
’mas Eve.
x The Legion will have no state
Crusade committee, Commander
Warren pointed out, since indi
vidual Legion members have been
asked to affiliate themeslve with
jlocal committees set up by the
naional Crusade for Fredom com-
Imittee, with Charles H. Kellstadt,
{ vice-president of Sears, Roebuck
{and Company, Atlanta, as state
| chairman for Georgia.
| Aim of the Crusade is to raise
!funds for setting up powerful
radio transmitters to send mes
|sages of freedom to people be
|hind the “Iron Curtian and mil
!lions of “Freedom- Grams” from
lindividual citizens of the United
!States to men, women, and chil
{dren in countries under Commu
nist domination. Small contribu
tions from many are desired, the
State Crusade committee has
pointed out, “to give the masses
an opoprtunity to strike a direct
!blow at Communism.”
i At the 1952 national conven
‘tion in New York City, the Le
| gion pledged itself to support the
| crusade again this year. :
!Alamo Ssth Grade
.observes Book Week
Alamo fifth grade enjoyed Na
{tional Book Week Nov. 16 to 22.
They participated in many activi
| ties viz: music, art, drama, read
ing etc. Several original poems
were written by inspired pupils
and a few beautiful original draw
:ings were exhibited.
i The hi_ghlight of the week was
| Wednesday which was called
| “Library Day”. A study was made
lof all the famous libraries in the
!United States and other nations
jand the climax was a pre-ar
lranged visit to the Alamo library
where the librarian, Mrs. Lee
Evans, graciously received the 27
pupils and answered a list of
questions that the grade had pre-
Ipared before the visit. Mrs. Evans
answered all the questions and
then told of her visit to the Li
brary of Congress in Washington,
1 D. C. (one of the largest libraries
'in the world) where scholars
Icome from all over the world to
{do research. She related many
jinteresting facts. Later, when
Ithe weeks work was evaluated
i many of the pupils wrote of their
!trip to the library.
! The Wheeler County Library
Imade a fine contribution too. The
|librarian, Mrs. Willard Wright,
when asked to do so, allowed the
grade to check out sixty-two (62)
books for easy and interesting
reading. |
l They had learned in their}
play “Talking Books”, how to be
'kind to books, so Mrs. Wright
isn’t afraid that the books will bes
isoiled, torn, or pages turned down. |
! They have read many and will
\read more before returning thei'
l books. |
Good literature was stressed
‘and to avoid trashy reading—one |
'would not think of drinking dish
}water so why feed the mind on
'dish water? ‘
| “You may have tangible wealth
iuntold, coffers of jewels and cas
(kets of gold, but richer than I
you can never be, for I had a
mother who read tp me.”

Traffic Dangers
‘ The Georgia State Patrol warn- |
lied today that unless Georgians;
| take every precaution, traffic ac
| cidents this Thanksgiving will |
| bring death to at least 20 persons, |
'!injury to perhaps 200 and a pos-!
'isible total of 300 accidents. E
| Last year, 21 persons died from |
:| Wednesday through Sunday ini
\ Georgia traffic mishaps. Over 200}
:!families were affected, bringing |
| amount unsurmountable anguisht
| and expense. Thanksgiving was |
|a time of tragedy instead of hap-!
[lpiness for these, the victims of |
: ] driver impatience and carlessness. }
| Speed, drinking and driving|
Tiand a general disregard of traf-|
i sic laws bring unnecessary death!
'iand injury to many Georgians%
| every holiday. With the Thanks- |
igiving observance coming up, it/
{ is certain that again human fail- |
|ure will bring sadness and grief |
{into the homes of many who are]
[ least expecting it. |
{ The members of the State Pa-|
< trol will be on full-time duty in|
‘an attempt to protec. you and|
; your family against holiday high- |
jway accidents. Troopers are fore- 1
| going their holiday in order for |
|the citizens of the state to be |
| safer and happier—unmarred byi
| the spectre of traffic death. i
| The full cooperation of everyf
| driver and pedestrian is earnest- |
|ly requested. Unless, this coop
| eration is received, the lives of !
| everyone traveling the highways |
| will be in ccnstant danger. i
| If you must travel, the Patrol |
urges you to get an early start|
and don’t wait until the last min- |
ute to start back ‘home. Observe
| the safety rules of the road, don’t |
take foolish chances, don’t speed |
and don’t drink and drive. If
| these simple rules are followed, |
| your chances of livihg through !
| Thanksgiving will be much great- |
{er.
| It takes only an instant of bad‘;l
' judgment or carelessness to cause j
|a lifetime of regret, so be care-;
| ful—for yourself and the other]
fellow. |

any of Georgia's
Traffic Laws Need
Improving - Byrd
! The Georgia Citizens Council,
| sponsors of the state-wide traffic
Isafety program known as “Oper
| ation Safety,” wants the General |
| Assembly to adopt a Uniform
}Traffic Code for this state when
lit convenes in January. The pro
lposed changes in existing traffic
laws, which would be written
into the new code, have been rec
ommended and approved by traf
fic experts and agencies respon
sible for safety on Georgia's|
highways and streets. !
“Far too many accidents oc-|
'cur daily on our highways and
| streets,” said Council Director |
{ Garland T. Byrd. “What traffic
ilaws we have on our statute
i books are in most instances in
{ adequate to cope with the pres-|
|ent-day traffic situation. We|
hope the General Assembly will
| react favorably to revisions in
lour present laws, and will adopt
the Uniform Traffic Code which
| already has been adopted. Sta
| tistics show a sharp decline in|
i trafic violations and fatual ac
| cidents.” I
| Discussing one phase of the
| proposed traffic code, Mr. Byrd
| said . that traffic often is slowed |
| down considerably as highways |
|lead through towns over the
@ state. A study of this has brought |
| out that an inferior type of traf- |
Efic control lights being operated
|in some of the towns is contrib
luting to traffic congestion. There
{is a section in the proposed Uni
{ form Traffic Code which would
| alleviate this condition. It reads:
| “Local authorities in their re- !
i spective jurisdictions shall place
and maintain such traffic-control
Idevices upon streets and roads
éunder their jurisdiction as they
| may deem necessary to indicate
| and to carry out the provisions of |
t this act or local traffic ordinances
lor to regulate, warn, or guide
| trafie. - All such traffic-control de
| vices hereafter erected shall co'n‘-!‘
| form to the State Manual and
’ specifications.”
! Director Byrd said he plans to
i’discuss other traffic code provi
| sions between now and the legis- |
] lative session. i

ißoth Agriculture,
Industry Moving
Ahead - Talmadge
l Addressing a group of indus
‘trial leaders attending the South
ern Company’s third annual meet
ing, held recently at Sea Island’s
famous Cloister Hotel, Gov. Her
mad Talmadge said that never
before in history has the South
!made so much progress in both
| industrial and agricultural expan
sion as this region is making now.
“We are,” he said, “45 percent
greater than the national aver
iage in industrial expansion and
| our gain in per capita income is
lrunning 50 per cent more than
lthe national average. . .. Manu
facturers are turning to this sec
ltion in ever-inreasing numbers,
attracted by its natural resources
and other advantages.
Giving credit for much of the
growth in Southern industry te
the development of electric pow
er, the Governor declared:
“In the past ten years more
than 1,000 new industries with a
capital investment of approach
ing $1.5-billion and providing an
nual payrolls amounting to $600,-
| million have located in the serv
| ice areas of the Southern Com
ipany.” :
. The Southern Company ope
rates four power-producing firms:
The Georgia Power Co., Alabama
}Power Co., Gulf Power Co., and
' Mississippi Power Co.
% Gov. Talmadge gave assurance
ito the rest of the nation that Geor
| gla and the South welcome eiti
| zens from other areas. Said he:
? “Industrial growth of the South
'»thas brought a large immigration
of citizens from other areas. These
l, men have brought vision and new
| vigor, and we extend to them a
| cordial hand of welcome.”
| The chief evecutive cited efr
grent statistics to show what great
| progress is being made in the
| South in the fields of both agri
| culture and industry. H?W
favailed himself of the opportursi--
’ty to tell his listeners something
i of the history and heritage of the
