Maconian is independent in its policies and is glad to print both
sides of any question. Letters to the editor should be written
legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable
length. The editor reserves the right to reject letters which are
too long, are of small general interest or which would violate
.sensibility of our readers.-
BIBLE THOUGHT
What dotli the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, arid to walk humbly with thy God? Micah, 6:8.
There is a destiny that makes us brothers; none goes his way alone.

The Democratic Primary
N'TEREST is lively in the coming primary, and
increases as those seeking nomination become
more active in their candidacy. Nearly all incum
bents who are in the race have opposition. Perhaps
the most interest is in the races that are not fore
gone conclusions. However, there are no three-cornered
races for state or county offices, which is
usual, so that the issue is clear-cut between .con
testants. In most cases, as has been expressed by a
veteran office-holder of the county who has had no
opposition in the primary for some years, "it is just
a matter of counting votes because both men are
good men."
In several cases the race is not so simple as that.
Voters who are interested in efficient administra
tion of the county's business must weigh qualifica
tions. On the other hand, a democratic principle
advanced in behalf of some is the fairness of giv
ing representation in rotation as related to differ
ent sections.
The clear-cut democratic principle of the Demo
cratic party to give women representation is also
before the people. This is happily indicated in the
candidacy of Mrs. Jim Gray for membership on the"
Board of Education. Yielding to the urgency of
voters from every section of the county, this busy
wife, mother and public spirited citizen consented
to file for membership on the school board of five
members. Mrs. Gray has worked unceasingly for
the advancement of the homes of this county for
a number of years, besides .raising her family and
helping run the farm.
She is now serving as president of the County
Council of Home Demonstration clubs, which rep
resent a large percentage of the people of Macon.
For the last two years she has been president of the
Parent-Teacher Association of the Otto school. Her
fitness for service on the most important board in
the county has been well proven. Her good counsel
as a mother interested in giving the children and
youth the best in training is a need and will be a
valuable asset to schools and people.

You'll Need It
F. C. ROBERT H. SANGSTER, Jr.
(The following editorial, written by a Rabun Gap
Nacoochee student now in the Army and published
in the school paper this week, is as well stated as
it is timely. The Editor.)
ULHEN I say "You'll Need It," I am referring to
" learning, which takes in quite a large field. I
will mention the fields of learning with which you
students are chiefly concerned.
Some of you left a sheltered life upon Feaving
home. Your life in the dormitory with fellow
students has taught you to.Hve with other people.
These fellow-students represent the public of to
morrow7. If you have learned to live with them, and
get along in a happy and helpful way, don't worry
about living with the public.
In working for your education you have an ad
vantage over students of other schools. This advan
tage depends upon how well your work has been
done, and the realization that most worthwhile
things are earned, and not received as a gift.
Class work is of great importance, regardless of
what your future vocation will be. I know that "in
the spring a young man's fancy often turns to
thoughts of love." And the same goes for girls.
But don't neglect your studies. Social life and as
sociation with the opposite sex are necessary. But
studies come first.
'When I say "You'll Need It," I am speaking to
those of you who will continue going to school, and
with special regard to those that graduate this year.
Time is short for graduates and "cramming" is not
a good method of passing your work.
Learn all you can while you can. In the class
room, on the campus, in your work program. All of
this learning is necessary because "You'll Need It."
Letters to Editor
To the Citizens of Macon County:
I desire to make a few statements
in regard to my candidacy for the
nomination for Register of Deeds
for Macon county.
After the General Electicon in
1936 I announced to my friends
that I would not seek nomination
for this office for the next term,
a,nd my word was as good as my
bond. I did other work until my
successor, who had been my assis
tant for three years, enlisted in
the U. S. Navy on January 1,1942.
As I was familiar with the work,
having served for eight years as
Register of Deeds and County Ac
countant, Mr, Arnold appointed me
as deputy to fill his unexpired
term. This I am doing to the best
of my ability. ;
Since many of our young men
have gon and others will soon be
going to serve in the armed forces
of the good old U. S. A., I decided
that the dutv of carrvinc on the
affairs at home should fall on th
older men. As 1 have had ex
perience in the office, and being
a man of the older generation, hav
ing served in World War I in th
United States and with the A.E.F,
in France, and not knowing
anyone else seeking the nomina
tion at the time of my anmounce
ment, I asked the voters of Macon
county to nominate me again for
that office in the coming primary
May 30.
I am, indeed, very grateful to all
for their loyal support in the past
and I wish to assure you that
shall appreciate each and every vote
cast for me in the primary of
May 30. j
I hereby give my pledge that
will strive to keep the confidence
of the people of Macon county by
continuing to perform the dutie
of this important office as I hav
striven to do ir the past, and be
sides, to be helpful to any person
needing my assistance in any way
at any time.

This and That
By FRANK1E MACON
Leon Henderson has clamped
down a price ceiling ore all pork
products. Apparently, however
there is .still no thought of setting
any limitation on the old pork
barrel in Washington.
An operation on a New Jersey
carpenter revealed 410 nails in his
stomach. Look, out; the SPAB
will get him for hoarding.
The enactment of the daylight
saving bill gives encouraging evi
dence that Congress is interested
in saving something, even if it's
only daylight.
One of the newest navy vessels
is temporarily designated the K-9.
Must be one of those sea-dogs
we've always heard about.
(Canine)
That shortage of wool in Ger
many isn t sov severe that Hitler
still has enough to pull over his
followers' eyes.
Anyhow, if a shortage of lumber
should develop, they can supply
any defficiency by cutting up sorne
of the over supply of boards in
Washington.
One thing that must be made
clear to Mr. John L. Lewis and
others 4s that the battles of the
CIO and AFL are ,not as import
ant as those of the USA.
It's a topsy-turvey world. Leon
Henderson ordered a ceiling placed
on rugs:; but it wouldn't surprise
us if he ordered us to place our
rugs on the ceiling.
