We have real regrets that the work
of this body is not catching the lead
ing citizens of the rural sections. The
power development wu.s. of course,
the larger item listeq as an activity
durig the year, hut there 'wete oth
er things—the health laws for ex
ample—which vitally concein the citi
zens of the rural sections. None of
them were there to share-in the plans
for eliminating malaria in Crisp -
and they zhould share in this work.
j\'mw.nf them were there to take
hold of their own vital interest in
the power development, Tax payers
of Crisp county have heen told--and
they might here and now take stock
of it that their credit is being used
ip the power development. "They
kuew that when they voted for ii.
l'l‘hp gocd that will come. of it is a
county advantage. They ought 1o he

citizens and business me nof Cordele
who arve members of the trade body.
They ought 1o he there*hecause fac
tories——the kind for which we ave
planning- do not drop down within
the’ city limits. They get’out into

But the meeting was enthusiastic.
it was full of pufanm and public
spirit, and the new officers go into
their places with the promize of a

’ In the month of January 1 used fi'.\'i

In my judgment. the greatest crime
