DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
Boy's Service Club Organized
By Coach Carpenter Useful
Asset To Community
Forty healthy boys are mixing
work and play with very good results
in the Boy’s Service Club, under the
leadership of J. L. Carpenter.
This club upholds the tradition that
a “fellow has just got to have a little
spending money and something to
do.” The boys mow lawns, wash
windows, spade gardens and do vari
ous other necessary jobs about Car
rollton. Seventy-five per cent of the
income goes to the boys personal!}
and twenty-five percent goes to the
club treasury to buy good magazines
and books.
The boys are also doing their part
in the fight for the opportunity and
freedom to have such organizations
as the Boy’s Service Club. Members
of the club are collecting scrap rub
ber, paper, metal, and whatever can
be used in the war. These are the
growing roots which anchor demo
cracy firmly.

West Georgia Rural Life
Program Attracts National
Acclaim And Admiration
Sight seers who visit West Georgia
and many of the students themselves
miss a part of one of the projects of
major interest at West Georgia, the
farm. Students who leave the campus
without taking a rural life course also
miss something vital to every indivi
dual.
The Rural Life program at West
Georgia, • under the supervision of
Porter C. Claxton, has attracted wide
attention and admiration. Many visi
tors come in to see the plantings and
crops. In a recent issue of The At
lanta Journal the entire Forum page
was devoted to the Rural Life Pro
gram at West Georgia.
