MANAGER MAX DEICH, OF GRIFFIN
MERCANTILE, WRITES LETTER IN
FAVOR OF SUMMER HALF HOLIDAYS
EDITOR GRIFFIN NF.Wa..
With reference to Retailers clos
ing their stores every .Wednesday
noon during the summer months
of June, July and August, 'Hits
practice has been in vogue for
years. It seems to me that so many
Of the leading merchants through
out this great country surely would
not continue this summer closing
of their establishments each year
unless there were good leasons for
so doing There are salient r e ft -
sons why the merchants in Grilhn
should close their stores for half
day during the hot and sweltiy
months.
Reviewing the subject Horn many
angles, carefully considering eacli
of the objections against closing, we
roust admit, that the argument* for
elating outweighs those oppose!
The monetary stand point, that is.
the low of buslnew during the clos
ing period, seems to be the main
point In question, Yet sale* re
cords of those that remain open
during that period, especially where
many of the stores are closed at
that time, <1 understand that fho
grocery dealers in Griffin have agre
ed to closet, show very little* busi
ness done by stores that remain
open.
If the merchants ill O In will 1
“
Widely advertise the fact, ” y
win be closed <kri ^ednesd ,y after -
boon's during summer nr mths oi
June, July and August, to enable
-F-their employees and families to en
joy a half day or beneficial recrea
tion and at the same time allow
the merchant und his family' the
same privilege, it will lie found,
that liealth all will profit considerably In
and energy, plu-s the many
blessings usually denied from pro
moting humane practices in indiis
* tty.
If we can, to a degree, Improve
our living conditions, we certainly
prttfl t Immeasurably, making the
tune at our work pleasant and plea
citable Instead of a drudgery. This
ii* the aim of nil.
Sufficient time devoted to recrea
tion, when conditions demand. W a
great stimulator for production. A
Ured mind In a languid body, will
not and cannot function profitably
Short hours of labor have made this
glorious country what It is to-day
I am confident, the business peo
l>ie of this blessed community, do
not wish to see the old antiquated
system continue, where a man
spends almost all of his waking
hours at his work or business. We
are living now In an age of ad
vancement. the ox-cart has been
replaced by the uutomoblle. Vie

a WALK THIS WAY
MAKES HIT WITH
■Walk Tids Way,” the Follies
of 1930, nonsored by the Wo
man's Club at ffle high school
auditorium test-night, proved a
big “success and made a decided
hit wlih the large audience pres
ent. Bubbling over with humor
ous situations and featuring de
lightful chorus numbers. 'Walk
Thfs Way" was one of the most,
.successful local talent entertain
ments ever given here.
Mrs. Philip Cleveland carried off
the leading role of Mary Carter
with the grace and ability that has
made—her a favorite with Griffin
audiences. She sang a number of
solos that were charming, par
ticularly "Indian LovA Call” with
Miss Elizabeth Norman playing the
violin obligato and Aldine Combs
the piano. Miss’ Virginia Arnall
played a delightful accompaniment
for the other musical numbers
with Edward Goldenberg playing
the violin. Ernest Carlisle, Jr.,
was excellent In his supporting
role of Jimmy, the sweetheart of
Mary. 4
Mis 1 - Nonn Tutt brought down
the house in her comedy role of
Peggy, the country girl. She was
a scream from start to finish, as
was her “boy friend” John Ham
mond. They added greatly to
the humorous element of the play.
William Beck. Jr., proved a clev
er Frenchman and carried his
role of fashion shop proprietor off
with real ability. Mrs. Charles
Merriman, Jr., and Mrs. Bart Sear
cy were excellent as high hat
shoppers and Mrs. T, I, Hawkins
proved a splendid excited bride,
Mrs. W. T. .Scott, Jr., and Bruce
McDaniel were very true to life
in their tine portrayal of Mr. and
Mrs; Jiggs and Miss Sara Randall
and Miss Ruth Stokes proved the
last word in attractive shop girls
and kept the audience laughing
irom their witticisms, cleverly giv
en.
One of the big hits or lhe snow
were the beautiful dances given
by Misses Leila Bearcy, Mary Cum
min?. Laura Cumming, Josephine
Pittman. Martha Frances SHaAoM,
Lcuise Baxter. Ann Shapard, Mary
Jeanette Shapard. Aline Mills, and
Lu. in Drake. These gifted young |
Giiffinites, pupils of Mis Pierponl,
Bpiker, of Atlanta, were adorable!
and scored a real hit with their I
beautiful and graceful interpre- J
tative dances.
The school kids, Catherine Ma
son and Quimby Melton, Jr., the
boys of the ensemble, and the girls
of the ensemble all took their
parts well and added to the clev
er show. The costumes worn were
beautiful and lavish.
A fashion show, with Miss Edna
Copeland as bride. Miss Henrietta
Brewer and Miss Elizabeth Nor
imin as bridesmaids. Miss Jacque
line Plowden tnain-bearer. and
Mrs. Charles Merriman Miss Sara
Randall. Mrs. Bartlett Searcy and
Ml«s Annie Katherine Bartles as
guests proved to be very beautiful
and effective.
