Sec. tt Trcas.
Our news columns today havo a
birthday; we observe and celebrate
our first anniversary this week, for it
was just a year ago today that we
made our first appearance in the col
umns of the Journal.
We are proud, of the showing that
we have made during this short time,
and feel that the news columns have
proven to be of merited benefit
both to the rural letter carriers of
Georgia, and the patrons of the routes
which they daily serve.

We hope that those who are still
absent from school on account of ill
ness will soon be able to return.
THIRD GR4DE
Our attendance average for the
first week was low but we feel sure
that it is going to be better next
week. It is our aim to be in school
every day.
We miss Mack Dent who moved
away during the holiday season.

a number of rules.
In English Miss Kelly was endeav
oring to explain some forms of gram
mar as given by different grammari
ans. Clifford Montgomery raised a
wrinkled brow and asked: “Miss Kel
ley, what kind of language do gram
marians speak?”
NINTH GRADE
In Biology the ninth grade has
taken up the study of the human
body. We find this very interesting
for we have learned that the “human
machine” is fearfully and wondrously
made.
As our popular song to be sung in
chapel, we have selected “The Old
Spinning Wheel.”
In composition- we have completed
the study of the different forms of
letter writing.
We had a test Tuesday on our par
allel reading, “The Last of the Mo
hicans” by Cooper. Our hook to be
read outside of class for next month
is “Ivanhoe” by Scott.

hope that they may be -back with us
soon.
Last week only nine made 100 in
spelling for the week, but this week
17 are -on the 100 per cent list.
In Geography we > are studying
country and city life in the United
States. We have learned the five
largest cities in- our country and
where they are located.
FIFTH GRADE
At the end of our study of the
Revolutionary War we made shields
of red, white and blue paper. A pic
ture of our favorite character was
printed on this shield and a paragraph
telling why the person was selected
was written of the back of the shield.
In arithmetic we are exploring
dark dungeons. Each cell of the dun
geon- is marked with fractions and we
can travel through each one only
once. The person making the fewest
lines earries off the treasure. These
burgeons are very interesting and
helpful in our study of fractions.
We are interested it' the s«ngs

most beneficial during this time is the
wonderful cooperation that we have
been given by every member of the
Jourral staff. We have been accorded
every courtesy nnd consideration pos
sible toward helping to make of the
news columns an agency of -benefit for
those who were weekly renders.
Your editor has been privileged to
get acquainted with the majority of
the staff, and to have formed some
warn friendships through this con
tract. From Maj. John S. Cohen,
president nnd editor "n chief, on down-
to the humblest employe, he has been
accorded every consideration imagin
able looking to the ultimate success
of the venture.
It was partly by accident that dur
ing a meeting of the executive board
held in- Atlanta, Jan. 1, 1933, that we
received a visit form P. H. Hall and
C. B. Babb, of the Journal and Hie
subject was brought up while they
were with us relative to the associa
tion having a news column in one of
the Atlanta- papers, and Mr. Hall of
fered us one in the Journal.
It took some two weeks to get
started, and our first appearance in
the Journal was on the 23rd of Jan
uary, 1933.
All of the details for this forma-
' tion were handled by Mr. Hall, an<j he
has worked unceasingly since for the
success of the news columns, and to
should go the larger amount of credit
for the able manner in which the
matter has -been handled in the Jour
nal office. He deserves, and I feel has
the full appreciation of the Rural Let
ter Carriers of Georgia for the part
he has taken.
The carriers, as a lule, have co
operated splendidly and to each one
who has had a part, we want to take
this opportunity of expressing ' our
appreciation, for without your co
operation we would not have -been
able to have made as good showing
as we have.
The editor has enjoyed serving in
the capacity to which he was chosen,
and has been fully aware of his in
ability to measure up to the require
ments of the task, but through the
generous spirit which he has been ac
corded by the readers has been in
spired to carry on with a feeling that
what small services he was rendering
were being fully appreciated by all.
We have received many words of
encouragement during this short per
iod, which make us feel that a service
worth while has been rendered. Many
besides members of our state associa
tion have sent words of encourage
ment and commendation-, for all or
which we are greatly indebted. 1
From National President Arm
strong comes this expression:
“Let me congratulate you and the
Carriers of Georgia upon your selec
tion of the Atlanta Journal for a me
dium of exchange for your association.
You are most fortunate to have this
opportunity, and I feel that the serv
ice will be worth much to the Carriers
“I apptec’.ate every copy of thu
Journal you send me, and thoroughly
enjoy them .ill. The carriers of Geor
gia are most fortunate in having this
service.”
From H. L. Baker, Secretary of the
Ohio State Association:
“I enjoy every issue of the Journal
that comes to this office and which
contains the rural 1 letter carriers’
news. Let me commend you for the
splendid service that is being ren
dered."
From second assistant postmaster
general, Harllec Branch:
“I enjoy every issue of the Journal
that you send me and feel that the
carriers of Georgia through this me
dium are placed > n a -better position
to render a better service.’
From Guy O. Hoover, president
Iowa -State Association:
“I appreciate very much your send
ing me the Journal which contained
the rural letter carriers’ news nnd an
account of the national convention. I
am preserving this copy and would
appreciate others from time to time.”
From Earl Slater, editor, The Texas
Rural Carrier:
“I 1 enjoy receiving the Journal
which contains your rural carriers’
news columns. The carriers of Geor.
gia are exceedingly fortunate to have
this medium of exchange.’
From Rex Pratt, editor, The Beaver
Bulletin, official organ of the Oregon
State Association:
“I enjoy your news columns in the
Atlanta Journal and hate to miss
single copy.”
From many others, too numerous
to mention, come similar messages,
from congressmen, senators, officials
of other postal organizations, and
many readers of the Journal who are
not connected in any way with the
postal service.
Some of the most appreciated mes
sages have come from patrons of tne
rural service who have shown their
appreciation of the service that we
have tried to render for their bene
fit, by sending in words of encourage
ment and commendation, and some
times making contributions to the col
umns. We have tried from the begin
ning to make of this service a bene
ficial one to the patrons of our routes
as well as' one for the carriers them
selves.
If we have succeeded at all, we are
highly pleased, and hope that' as we

"-Mrs. White
wants to know
Mrs. White’s electric bill averages $15 a month
or more. The new rates reduce her bill, of course,
but listen while a pow'er company representative
explains how they also open new vistas of op
portunity to her, and to everyone else.
■ MRS. WHITE—“What can the new
rates offer me? I already have an
electric range, refrigerator, water
heater and various small appliances.
In fact, my bill last month was
$15.97. Do I get a reduction like
everybody else?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE —“Certainly,
Mrs. White. Your bill for that same
amount of current under the new
rates would be only $13.57, a reduc
tion of $2.40. And you are entitled to
237 kilowatt hours absolutely free. So
you can get about 40 per cent more
electricity for 15 per cent less money.
You can get free electricity in any
month that shows an increase in use
over the same month last year.”
■ MRS. WHITE—“That’s fine, but I
am already using my electric service
to the limit, it seems to me. How
could I use my free electricity? And
how could I increase my use of elec
tricity enough so as to get the extra-
low bargain prices you are offering on
increased use?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE —“There are
many, many ways, Mrs. White. So
many, in fact, that the new low elec
tric rates are bound to make a big
change in what a fully electrified
Georgia home means within the next
few years.
“Your home, for instance, is prob
ably better lighted than most. But
have you lights in your closets, in the
attic, in the garage, on your porches,
on the walks and in the garden? In
nearly every home, better lighting can
make the home more beautiful, more
convenient and comfortable, and bet
ter protected against prowlers.
“Your free electricity and the new
low rates bring other things to mind.
An electric dish washer, electric wash
ing and ironing machines, ceiling fans,
sun lamps, an electric food mixer, are
just a few of the things that occur
to me.
“Electric heaters, especially the
more modern types, are a great con
venience on cool days, and electric
ventilating fans in the kitchen and in
the attic can do a lot to keep the
whole house cool in summer.
“And, of course, air conditioning is
the next step. You feel its comfort
now in stores, theaters and restau
rants. Air conditioning in the home is
already a fact; several Georgia homes
have it now; many others are sure to
follow.
“Your new electric rates make all
these things actual possibilities; not
just a fantastic dream. Our real prog
ress in better living conditions is still
ahead of us.
“The new electric: rates mean that
thousands of Georgia homes will be
gin to enjoy, right away, comforts
and conveniences that were unheard
of a few years ago—and the future
will bring even better things.”
