The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
“False propaganda is the most conspicuous offense against
the Nihth Commandment in our day. When the newspapers-
governments, partisan groups, or advertisers pollute the wells
of truth and betray the public mind by subtle half-truths and
misleading statements- they are really bearing “false witness"
Our whole social fabric breaks down if we cannot trust re¬
sponsible men to hotior and to tell the truth. We need to
be as true in these days as Washington and Lincoln were in
their day."
FOOTBALL
Georgia State College’s first football game of the season
found hundreds of sport fans riding up to the new athletic
field. Quite s/a array of fall wear was featured by not only
members of the fairer sex but the males as well. Sport cor¬
duroy coats seemed to have held sway with the men. The
ladies wore suits, woolen dresses, sport dresses, sweaters and
skirts. A few satin and taffeta dresses were in evidence.
Among the hundreds seen at the gamp were the Edward
Laws, Dr. and Mrs. Luther Thompson and daughter, Dr. and
Mrs. S. F. Frazier, Mesdames Gladys Sanders, Leah Skipper
Gredn, Irene Alexis and children- Marguerite Long and chil¬
dren, Rev. and Mm. E. O. S. Cleveland, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
C. Bass, their two and a half years old daughter, Patricia and
four months old Charles Jr., iMrs. Bass is the former Gwendo¬
lyn Lester), Rev. and Mrs. Gustave Caution, Rev, Henry W.
Murph, Mr. R. W. Gadsden, the Eulie Bellingers and their son,
"Butch-” Mesdames Carrie Tolbert, Louise Lester, the Alphon-
Fields, Misses Augusta Pettie, Lollie Orr, Dorothy Mclver,
Barbara Burxe, Arthur Givens, W. G. Dixon, Lawrence Per¬
ry, Miss Viola Garrett, Bowles Ford, S. A. Jones, Arthur Giv¬
ens- Frame Freeman and his camera, Dorothy Boston and
others too numerous to mention.
....CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Ted Wright and his team
for having the courage to compete against Kentucky State
who is supposed to have one of the best colored teams in the
country . . Sport fans were fortunate to have had the oppor¬
action. Having had .
tunity .to observe this great team in .
the chalice to play them will encourage Georgia State’s Kentucky team '
to win games between teams more their equal. The
team used the “Platoon” system (having both offensive and I
defensive teams).
Coach Joseph Green served as head linesman, Hinton
James, Referee; Bliger, Umpire; and Mackey, Judge.
