At this glad Christmas season,
when we plan to express our love
for family and friends with gifts,
let us be thankful for the great
gifts we enjoy as a nation in Amer-
ica.
) With most of the rest of the world
torn by bitter hatred, war and fear
of war, witji oppressed minorities
suffering humiliation at the hands
of so-called civilized nations, that
would shame the barbarians of by-
gone ages, Americans enjoy the
great gift of peace. While so many
nations have abandoned the princi-
ples of Christianity we still have the
gift of faith—the faith of our fath-
ers—faith in God, in our country
and in ourselves—faith to achieve.
We gather in peaceful assembly
and at happy firesides of freemen
and pray for those who have no
; hope—thankful that we have the
great gift of hope—in a land that is
! bright witn promise based on per-
j formance of the past.
So, as we come to another Christ-
I mas, with so many lands wandering
far from the kindly principles of the
Lord of the Christmas Day, let us
be thankful that we have a well
founded faith in the future of our
Nation and our State, hope, that
shines like a bright star in the
East with promise for those who
dare, and charity that binds us all
together.

ed a circle around the room, and
marched around a center table which
held a beautiful Christmas box
loaded with gifts. Each gift had a
long string hanging on the outside
of the box. Each one pulled on a
string. Then the lid was lifted off
and every one took their present
from the box.
Little Evelin Jenkins who is a
regular visitor to our club had the
surprise of her life when she was
shown across the room to a little

joy showing each gift.

come discouraged and disinterested.
The same discouragement and lack
of interest occurrs with the tenant
farmer himself, and with his wife,
in regard to participation in com-
munity activities.” *
The estimate of tenant farmers
moving in this county was based up-
on the state average of approxim-
ately 40 per cent of tenants moving
annually, and the last census figures
which show the number of tenant
farmers in this county to be 3,849.

MOVES COST HUGE SUM
A?®
ervineI||H
Year-end moves will c'ost Fannin
County tenant farmers more than
$77,000, and that is only the begin
ning of the cost to them and1 to the
general public, it was stated by
Glenn Mitchell, County Supervisor
of The Farm Security Administra-
tion.
The supervisor estimated that 1,
540 farm tenants of that county
move every year. The actual cash
cost is around $50 per family, he
said, but the final cost to the ten-
ant and to the public is much great-
er.
Most of the tenants whe move
could be stablized through leasing
methods which would encourage
them to remain upon the same farm
and to improve it, the supervisor
stated. He said that the FSA flex-
ible lease form, now being distribut-
ed by his office is winning favor
with both landlords and tenants and
that a considerable number of farms
in this county will be operated un-
der it during the coming year.
“A tenant who stays upon a given
piece of land for only a year has no
opportunity to build up that land
and no incentive to do it,” Mitchell
continued “Instead he is inclined to
take out of it all he can. The land)
owner may he struggling along like
the tenant on an inadequate income.
He has his money invested in the
land and taxes to pay, so he also is
interested in having the tenant get
the most possible out of this year’s
crop, letting the future take care of
itself. In many cases, the landlord
does not live in the county or the
state, and fails to realize what is
happening to his soil.”
The supervisor said that tenant
families move during the winter
after the crops are harvested, which
means that the movement is made
at a time when the children must be
taken out of school. “They not only
lose several weeks of school, they
often stay out for the remainder of
the school year. When they do go
back to school they are likely to be
set hack in their classes, and be-
