Do your backseat driving while
the car stands still, we insist.
There is no substitute for
churches or religion or spiritual
growth.
There was a time when wa used
to get excited when a lady
showed her ankles.
It is faith of men such as Mor
gan Blake that makes life on earth
more bearable, says Dr. Pierce
Harris.
With each new advance into
knowledge, man stumbles into
more vexing questions, Ernest
Rogers advises.
One-half of the world keeps
wondering what sort of security
they have to get up to borrow like
the other fellow does.

Pfc. R. J. Lambert, son of J. J:
Lambert of Thomasville.
Death rate in the U. S. seems
bad, but when it is recognized that
there are some 20 million or more
cars in daily use, it is remarkable
that there are no more accidents
than do occur.
Should any of our friends be
come interested this is to advise
that Brooklyn Bridge may now be
purchased for 17 million dollars.
That’s the value placed on it last
week by the City of New York.
Georgians in general are rejoic
ing in the fact that the state’s At
torney General Eugene Cook has
been elected president of the Na

General, in session at Custer Park
South Dak.
This is a season when Georgia's
youth claims our enthusiastic at
tention. Vacation is waning.
Schools soon will reopen. Yet the
summer months have been any
thing but idle for most of our
boys and girls
Georgia’s Future Farmers have
just celebrated the 25th birthday
of their organization.
The 4-H Clubs have conducted
their summer assemblies and are
delightedwith the progress of their
new permanent meeting place at
Rock Eagle Park.
Railway and bus stations have
been full of Boy Scouts returning
from their jamboree on the West
Coast.
Summer camps, public and pri-1
vate, especially those of the many
fine youth organizations, have had
record enrollments, bringing both
pleasure and benefit to all who at
tended. j
Vacation jobs, at home and ini
commercial employment, have as
sisted in teaching young people the
tealities of the workaday world. |
All this reminds us that our fu-!
ture is in good hands; that our
boys and girls are leading the way {
in many fields of Georgia life; that|
the youth of today is better trained
and has a more wholesome outlook (
than any generation which preced-.
ed it. I
It should remind us, too, as
schools and colleges prepare for
their fall sessions, that the student
is the person for whom these in
stitutions exist. ' |
In debates about financing and
administration of schools, let the)
first consideration be, “How will
this effect our young people?’’ j
An honest answer to that ques-l
tion would resolve many issues
and help our state to be worthy of
the boys and girls we salute at
this season.—Atlanta Journal-Con-'

We injured 2,090,000—about as
many people as there are in the
whole state of Mississippi.

Gov. Herman Talmadge received
bad news while attending the Vet
erans Day program at Fort Gaines
Friday. An emergency phone call
came through for Gov. Talmadge
shortly before the speaking program
started. He was informed that his
wife’s grandmother, Mrs. J. S.
Shingler, died in her home at Ash-
burn.
Gov. Talmadge’s remarks that
Georgia will be able to handle the
traffic on the proposed Chicago-
Florida super highway which
when constructed will pass di
rectly through Butler — without
charging a toll obviously means
that Georgia will build no four-
lane highway from Tennessee to
Florida in the next few years.

go off somewhere, you should eat

\co, I ate Chinese bird nest soup,
and Japanese lotus blossoms, and in
Alberquerque, I ate Indian stuff,
land in Oklahoma City for three
days I ate Mexican tacos and en-
chilados and stuff. Then the third
day I took a look at the menu and
there big as life it said “Black-
eyed peas with ham hock.” And
that’s where the Mexicans and I
parted company and my appetite
came home to roost. I ordered
black eyed peas.”
