Sermany Calls Upon
Bishop Arthur Moore
To Conduct Meeting
Atlanta—For the sixth time since
1945 Methodist Bishop Arthur J.
Moore is being sent on an emer
gency mission to a disturbed area
—this time on a trip that may take
him into dangerous ground behind
the Iron Curtain.
The bishop will sail from New
York Feb. 7 to preside over an im
portant conference in Germany to
elect a new bishop. He will also
help install the elected successor to
German Bishop J. W. E. Sommer
who died last October.
The crucial nature of this mis
sion lies in the fact that more than
half of the German Methodist mem
bership is back of the Iron Cuftain
in the Eastern Germany. Further
more, Bishop Kloore reports, the
Methodists there have applied for
permission to hold the conference at
Zwickau, Saxony, in the center of
Soviet Zone.
The German Methodists have
asked for a visa for Moore to enter
the Eastern Zone to preside over the
conference and he has asked the
-advice of the U. S. States Depart
ment.
Butler Colored School
Teams Plan Several
Games for This Week
The Butler High School basket
ball teams generally known as Ihe
tigers will battle the all-powerful
Flint River Farms School from
Montezuma, Wodnseday, January
28 and will meet Ellaville Friday—
tomorrow. The loca’ girls’ team is
after victories number 9 and 10
without a defeat, while the boys’
team is after victories number 7 and
8 with two defeats. For the girls
both games would have bearing on
district and state chairmanship, as
jthis is Class C. ball for the third
I district of Georgia. Two years ago
|the grils from Ellaville were state
champions while girls from Flint
River were state champions last
year. However the local team feels
rather optimistic as a result of their
victories over several powerful
teams that they have met this sea
son, including Spencer High School
of Columbus, that was recently
played in Columbus.
Probable starting line-up for
both games:
Girls: Christine Tooks, Pinkie
Crump, Isabella Woodall, Hattie
Walker, Shirley Lewis and Rosetta
Peebles.
Boys: Allyan Williams, Willie M.
Perry, C J. McDougald, Lonnie
Trice and Moses McDougald.

“I Tend
1,000
Leghorns
in My Spare Time!”
Says Mrs. Charles Rose, Bogart
Her husband teaches vocational agriculture at the
University High School in Athens. She has two
young daughters. But Mrs. Charles Rose finds
time to tend 1,000 hens and to gather about 800
eggs a day.
How does she do it? Wired help is her answer.
The electric poultry feeder, for example, handles
a big job automatically.
The Roses depend on wired help in the laying
house and electrical servants in their home. They
know that electricity saves them time and labor
at a cost of only pennies a day.
Our rural engineers know how to harness
electricity to more than 200 farm jobs.
Their help is available without charge.
