SOONER OR LATER YOU
IFARN
About a year and a , half •>„ ago we
got _ . a small ti ui black i and ^ white pooch v
at our house and tto daughter
mediately named him Spot. Kor
some reason that didn’t suit the
son of the house though, and he
proceeded to call the dog Bteckie.
M I r wondered . , ,

ff son’s call
Hi Blackie just as
I readily as
does my daughter’s Spot. Some
pooch, huh?)
It took a mess of biscuits being
put inlihe oven of «ur stove for
me to suddenly realize what I
should have known all along—why
he called the dog Kkekie.
Long about noon (or was it sup
per?) the other day the phone at
the office rang and my son was
on the other end iff the line.
“Mama said sfe* was puttin' (Kbe
hisquits in-n-n- de ’tovel”
There it was in black and white,
so to speak. Stove was tove to
him and Spot would naturally be
p«t. So, Spot is Blaekie and
body’s happy. Don’t know what
was so interested in it for any
how.

THE BOY WITH THE RIGHT
IDEA
There’s a joke I read in “Smiles >> :
which ,
struck me as being right
cute.
Joe, . |
13 years old, was puzzled
over the girl problem and talked i
never . with , his pal, Willie.
“I’ve
walked to school with her three
times,” he told Willie, and car-1
ried her books. I bought her ice
cream sodas twice, Now do you j
think I ought to kiss her?”
“36aw, you don’t need to,” Wil¬
lie decided after thinking a mo
ment. “You’ve done enough for
that gal already.” j
And the same little book car
ried- this gem of thought.
An eld Indian summed up the j
world situation in these few words-:
• i Trouble is, nations smoke peace
pipe, but nobody inhales. >»
WARNER ROBINS JUDGE !
SPEAKS IN WISDOM
Judge T. M. Brundege, recorder
for the ekty of Warner Robins,
recently had two young waitress- i
es of a local establishment ar- j
raigned before him on charges
of they . indecent . had , been exposure. waiting . Seems custo- likej
on
mers attired only in halters and
shorts. j
In dismissing i
the charges
against the girls the judge point- ;
ed not' j
out (truthfully) that he did
see that it was his duty to set ’
up the uniform to be worn by
women and besides, if he arrested
everyone who appeared on the
streets in similar attire he would
have most of the female popula¬ i
tion of the town in jail at one time
or another. i
BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL FOR i
ATLANTA? j
Constitution syo-ts editor Fur¬
Bisher has recently been beat ,
man i
ing the drums in favor of trans¬
ferring the American League fran¬
chise of the St. Louis Browns to
Atlanta.
Bisher made some exceedingly
fine arguments in favor of the
move and we would like to go on
record as endorsing such a move.
It seems to us that the most vital
argument in the whole thing
would be ^that of attendance at
Cracker games'. They have the best
attendance record of any town in
their size league in the country 1
and from a metropolitan stand-; e
point they have only a few people j
under the number in Milwaukee, j

How much protection is needed against flash heat?
Actually, very little. Flash around heat operates like light—it moves in a
straight line, so if you are a corner of a building from the fireball,
you will be protected. Heavy canvas, a wooden fence, anything of this sort
will prevent the effects of flash heat from burning a person. Even heavy
clothing provides considerable protection.
Will white clothing protect a person against flash heat?
It is an accepted fact that white surfaces reflect light and heat much
heat readily than do dark ones. However, the only safe protection against I j
is something substantial—and white clothing is not the answer.
will, the of course, be a better covering than dark clothing if you are caught

Traffic Deaths
Grow In Georgia ©
ATLANTA — (GPS) How do
you feel about the growing num¬
ber of traffic accidents and resul¬
tant deaths on our highways and
streets? Are you content to wait
until a tragic accident affects you
and your family or have you be¬
come sufficiently aroused to do
something about it now?
Those questions were propound¬
ed by Director Garland T. Byrd,
of the Georgia Citizens Council,
sponsors of the state-wide “Opera¬
tion Safety” program, in remind¬
ing Georgians that more than 900
eprsons were killed in traffic ac¬
cidents last year in Georgia alone.
Each year in the United States,
the director pointed out, there are
fewer than 12,000 deaths charged
to murder or manslaughter, while
more than 35,000 people are killed
mail ly as a result; of traffic ac¬
cidents. Yet crime is considered a
far -greater blight % society than
the losses caused by traffic ac¬
cidents. In this connection he
quoted from Educational and En¬
forcement Programs in Michigan
by Donald S. (Leonard who said:
“Society, a* -we know, is array
against the criminal who shoots
his way out -of a holdup. But. so
ciety is somewhat tolerant of the
driver who bullets down the road
at an excessive speed, or who nans
a red light,, or commits some other
violation. And that's because -so

Fort Valley flavor.
Arraigned in court this week fo>

Seems as though James was al¬

to pay his landlady an amount of
$1.50. He promised t odo that just
as soon as he could make the mon¬

James, who is a Negro born i,.

He is just home primarily to vis

when he got hack to Philadelphia
it was past midnight and he decid¬

Fort Valley and vicinity as grow¬
ers in the area began harvesting
the Southland peach.
Through Wednesday of this
week a total of more than 640
cars of peaches have been moved
this season from the Fort Valley
area by rail. The average rail car
will hoM a total of 400 bushels
of peaches.
Officials who are familiar with
the movement of peaches estimated
that at least the equivalent of this
figure have already been moved
from the same area via motor
truck.
The total movement from this
area last year by rail car reached
only 477 cars for the entire sea¬
son, with the same amount, or a
little more, being moved by truck.
The price of peaches remained
almost constant on the market
as most growers were hailing the
best year for peach production in
several years.
