DIS TRICT MASONS WILL HOLD COHVENTIO H HERE
r LveninU good n
By Quimby Melton._!
We’re taking no sides in poli
tics—except of course advocat
'9 ing the candidacy of Judge Hunt
and Judge Flynt—but mark
this; If the candidates opposing
Dick Russell don’t lay off that
“school boy” stuff Russell is
going to develop remarkable
strength and be swept into the
capitol as governor.
Remember how they used to
poke fun at Joe Brown about
his insignfleant appearance?”
Remember how they tried to
scoff at Tom Watson arid his
general appearance? And those
men rose on criticism to assume „
important places in Georgia.
As an aftermath of the "school
boy” stuff we heard someone the
other day say, “The old men
have made a failure as gover
nor let’s give the ‘school boy’ a
chance.”
If we were managing the cam
paigns of any of the four men
who are running against Dick
Russell we’d put the “taboo” on
criticising him because of his
“youth.”

I This is the season when we
repd of boys and girls, men and
women drowning in pools, In
rivers and at the ocean. Every
time we read such a story it re
minds us that we should call at
tention to the importance of
boys and girls being taught to
swim.
With the fine new city swim
ming pool there is no reason
why every boy and girls should
not be taught to swim. When
kids are kids is the time to teach
them. They take to water like
a duck.

Spank *Em Says
Noted Physician
By NEA Service
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 25.—
Some people believe that kind words
will influence their children more
than will the rod. But Dr. Garry
Cleveland Myers, noted physician,
believes that “spanking the baby
will prevent a crime wave ”
“One of the causes of increasing
crime ig the warped interpretation
of modem psychology in relation to
child guidance," the doctor avers.
"The average person thinks a child
psychologist is one who with some
sort of magic wisdom believes in
letting children do as they please.
Miny parents with intelligence above
the average think it Is not proper
to restrain children; they believe
in waiting until they are old enough
to reason before trying to cultivate
self-restraint.”
The simplest and best way to en
force discipline in a child is the
old-fashioned way of spanking, the
doctor believes.
