Georgia Approves
Soldier Vote Bill
Service Men And Women
Not Required To PaY
Yearly Poll Tax


Atlanta ULNS).-A bill intended Ia
facilitate voting by Georgians in the
armed forces has been signed by Gov.
Ellis Arnall.
The bill was passed by the state
legislature in II 5-day special session,
making the state first TO enact Il soldier
vote measure since the move for such
laws began in Congress.
Under The new law, service men and
women are not required to pay the
Sl-a-yCar poll tax.
While Geor@iaus in military units
previously could exercise voting fran
chiSe by absentee ballots, the new law
eases requirements and eliminates
physical obstacles which might have
prevented wide use of postal votes.
The voter, under the new law, may
request Il registration form, or request
may be made in his or her behalf by Il
friend. Forms are mailed by county
tax commissioners, registrars and
county ordinHrir%. After registration
and receipt of an absentee ballot, the
voter indicates candidates of his choic"
and returns the ballot 10 his home
county. Previous requirements for hay
ling the vote Witnessed or notariZcd are
eliminated.

the National Safety Council points out.
"FhouSandS Of fires start annually

Dearborn. executive vice president Of

Last year $500 persons in this
country died as Il result of burns. Many
thousands more were seriously injured
sometimes permanently ly-in fires, and
IN" economic loss ran into millions,
said Dearborn in urging cooperation in
the current Waste paper salvage drive.
I'VE must hc sure, however, to save
this paper in safe place, and to get
ii out of tn" house 1T regular intervals
before it becomes Il serious hazard,
Dearborn added.
The council >uggested that while
citizens are searching Easements and
atticS for waste paper, they also keep
an eye peeled for discarded articles
which ar" potential accident hazards,
but could be of value 10 someone else
b"CHl!S" of wartime shortages. Old
electrical appliances, furniture, equip
mrnt for babies and children, and
other objects now hard to get, may be
of great value 10 someone else.
The less refuse stored in Il home,
the less chance for accidents and fires,
Dearborn emphasized.

Stop Grousins!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Those who were so confident when
Italy was invaded, that the war was
all over but the shouting, have had
rude awakening. We still have Il long
way to 20 This war is not yet won,
nor will it be until the final and com
plete surrender.
We must not underestimate the
enemy nor his strength. And we must
not overlook the fact - which was
proven for us at Stalingrad-thatt the
man with his back to the wall is the
one who fights the hardest
They still pay off on the horse that
finishes first The war isn't over yet
and now is not the time to waste
jockeying for position. We can't afford
to fritter away energy on people VINO
won't cooperate. We've all got to night
and work and sacrifice together.
You know what | mean. There is a
bad tendency today to quibble over the
cost of war and to attribute to bad
management any lack which touches
us. Few people are willing to give up
their privileges. They feel that tn"
sacrifices should be made entirely by
the other fellow and they waste their
time and clutter up other peoples work
by their complaining We're all guilty
in some respects.
But while we are qubbling, let Us
consider what would be the case were
our enemies in the saddle. They do not
rule by ballot-they occupy by force.
They do not levy taXeS-they eNpro-
pirate all possessions. They do not
debate, argue, persuade people to co
operate-they terrorize, torture, ana
persecllte all those who disagree with
| them. ..
They do not respect the rights ot
others. They negate old privileges and
deny the rights of the individual even
to his own thoughts. They do not re,
Spcct the religious beliefs of any, hut
whom they max" their slaves bow
| down ana worship.
How can we resent the little we hay,
to give up, when we consider what W,
would have lost? It's time to stop com
planning and get into the greatest SHOW
of all times if we want the enemy pre-
vented from Slringing this war along

successful working out of industrial
nrohlems in peacetime and that war,
time controls should be lifted from
labor and industry as soon as possible
after the war ends.
Saying that ne spoke for the great
ma jority of American employers,
Johnston assured Green that 'aS prac-
ticuI businessmen. we realize that
unions are here to stay in America.
TO fight them is bad business
Green made the point that existing
agencies are primarily concerned with
the war effort and that the new agency
he proposed would think first of the
coming peacctime production. Johnston
agreed and said the suggestion was
good. provided conflict can b" avoided
between the war agencies and the pro
posed new postwar Selup.
..Of course we would have to guard
against that" Green replied, going on
to explain, aS follows:
1T could be done very easily. Let
me give YOU an example. Suppose the
War Department finds it can safely
cut production of Il certain type OF war
material. machine guns for instance.
Before outstanding contracts are can
celed. il should first notify tn" war
Production Board and the new Recon
version Production Board.
Board Would Investigate
"Thc War Production Board would
then have to determine whether the
proposed cutback would make surplus
steel available for pcacetime produc-
lion. If 81. the RocOnvprSiOn PrOduc-
tion Board would investigate and dis
cover. lets say, that the plants making
machine guns used 10 make zippcrs.
Since there iS Il shortage of ZipperS
for clothing, the Rrcony"rSion Produc-
tion Board would authorize the ma
chine gun plants To start producing
Zippers the moment their war con
tracts are Cancelled.
This process may seem complicated
but it is really fairly simple and iii
would save management and labor in
the affected plants from serious l9SSef
At the same time it would expedite the
process of orderly rccouv"rSion from
wartime to pcacctimc production
