Let’s Observe The
Speed Limit
* * *
When I find myself sunk in the
deepest sorrow because I no longer
have the best friend human can have,
meet me with a happy greeting and
whose every gesture was one of trust
affection and love past all understand
lag, I say to myself, “Snap out of it,
he was just a little dog. Dont let it
get you down like this.”
Nine months ago, when he was sent
to me from Mississippi, I made my
self believe I’d not become attached
to him. It happened never the less. He
embedded himself into the hearts of
every one who came in contact with
him. Just a little black Coeker Span
iel, named “Mr. Black”. He was a
little black angel who came to a
tragic death because he couldn’t rea
son like agrown person. He thought
he was the cynosure of all eyes
(and he was) So if he wanted to cross
the pavement with a car approaching
far exceeding the speed limit, he did
it. Ive seen on this street in the past
four months four valuable dogs crush
ed to death by speeding cars. What
if a little child should toddle out on
the street? No driver could possibly
avoid striking an object traveling as
fast as they do. They couldn’t pos
sibly apply the brakes in time to avert
an accident.
City fathers (City councilmen)
can’t we have an enforced speed law
here in our fine little town?. We must
protect humanity and maysave val
uable pets? \ T es—he was just a little
black dog but Oh! how I miss him.

There are now 30 hatcheries and
breeder hatcherymen that have qua
lified under the National Poultry Im
provement Plan in Georgia, with a
total capacity of 1,294,702 eggs.
Never attempt to raise chicks with
out some form of brooder. Wood burn
ers, electrical, coal and oil brooders
all are satisfactory, but some types
are better than others. Avoid the blue
flame type of oil stove.

90 HOURS SPENT
CHANGING CLASSES
—CHS
Did you ever stop to think how
many hours each person walked
per year when changing classes
approximately 30 minutes each day
is taken for changing classes. 150
minutes or two and one half hours
is used each week. Every month an
average of 600 minutes or ten
hours and 5,400 minutes or '9O
hours are used for walking to and
fro between classes every school
year.
The good thing about it is the
exercise one gets to the legs as
well as the fresh air in the lungs
and the relaxation from the hours
of rigid attention in the class room

Mr. Cox, it seems that you have
misinterpreted an article written
in last week’s Red and Black. It
was intended as a complment and
never as an insult.

“What did you do?”
“Why I picked up a rock and knock

Orders for baby chicks should be

START TO WORK
—CHS—
At this time of the year it seems
to be an unfailing tendency on the i
part of students to pracrastinate
more than ever. Maybe its the be
ginning of warm weather that caus
es the inertia which prohibits one
from doing his work. There are
still several more weeks of school
but work can’t be put off any long
er.
Some students who failed the
first half of the year think that its
to late to do anything about their
failure and consequently will let
everything slide. But just as a race
horse may come up from behind on
the last lap and win a race, those
students) <san likewise 'make UP|
their work if they really try.
If you’ll start studying right now
your grades for the next six weeks
will show the result of it, and your
piece of mind will be much greater
during examination. Of course it
will be hard work, but you may be
sure it will be worth it.

CUMMING DEFEATS BALDWIN
Cumming High School basket
ball teams defeated the Baldwin
teams o:i Cumming court last Sat
urday night.
The guards of the Cumming girls
functioned perfectly. Thpyl were
alert to every move the Baldwin
girls made and the Cumming for
wards were the recipients of the
ball ringing the goals from all an
gles. Mildred Tallant was a seri
ous problem for the Baldwin girls
to guard.
The main feature of the boys
game was “leke” Settles geting 17
points. Baldwin boys couldn’t break
through Cummings defense. They
played a losing game from the
start. The second team of both
schools played some in the last
half.
There are now 30 hatcheries anti
breeder hatcherymen that have quali
fied under the National Poultry Im
provement Plan in Georgia, with a
total capacity of 1,294,702 eggs
Nearly all the chicks produced un

be some of the higher stages of the

Performance produced in Georgia.

Obviously, the brewers can enforce no laws.
But they can —and will —cooperate with

SAINT VALENTINE DAY
—CHS—
Tis Valentine, when f young
man's fancy turns toward the girl
he loves.
Saint Valentine, a saint and mar
tyr ol the Church, was put to
death at Rome for his faith, during
the persecution under Clacidlus 11
14 February 270.
He is now considered popularly
the patron of lovers and the help
of those unhappily in love.
On the eve of Saint Valentine
day young people of both sexes
used to meet and each of them
drew one by lot from a number of
names of the opposite sex, which
were put into a common receptacle
Each gentleman then got. a lady
for hi.s valentine and became the
valentine of a lady.
The/English speaking countries
are probably a survinal of a period
when a pagan festival associated
with love came about February 14.
1 lie lover’s greeting cards (and the
paradies of them) are called valen
tines for him.
Good chicks may cost more but
they are worth the difference. A pul
let raised from a chick that cost 16c
will have to lay only six additional
eggs to more than pay the difference
in cost of a chick costing 'eight cents
Nearly 2,000 farm tenants and
sharecroppers lifted themselves to
the status of farm owners during
1938 with loans authorized by the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act
