B. H. S. Band Notes
The Milledgeville College Choir,
which will- appear here in a concert
of the world's finest music on March
22 at the high school building under
the auspices of the B. H. S. Band,
has established a reputation in its
short existence for being unique
among the choral groups of the
state. The singing is done entirely
without instrumental support and
depends for its superb effect upon
the perfect blending of all the voices
in the choir.
The Milledgeville College Choir
has the distinction of being the
only A Cappella choir in this sec
tion of the South. An accompani
ment covers up defects, but a cap
pella music is singing “in the bare,”
so to speak, and is good or bad ac
cording to the individuals and the
training. •
Intensive training is necessary.
There must be great accuracy of
attack, perfect release of phrases,
and delicate shadings. The intona
tion, vowel sounds, and harmony
must be perfect.
Several hours a week are spent
in reading, memorizing, and rehears
ing the program, which is made up
entirely of sacred music.
This is one means of revealing
the beauty of sacred music to those
who have felt that this type of music
could not be made entertaining.
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our son,
Charlie, who passed away five years
ago today:
“Peacefully sleeping, resting at last,
Life’s weary trials and suffering past.
In silence you suffered, in patience
you bore,
Until God called you home to suffer
no more.
I saw you suffer, I saw you go,
It crushed my heart I loved you so.
It was God who loved best
And took you home to rest.”
—His Mother and Father,
Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Ritchie.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Discusses Health
Problems and How
To Meet Them
Miss Theo Floyd, consultant nurse
wth the State Department of Health,
spoke to a few interested persons
Friday at 3 o’clock at the American
Legion hall on Health Problems of
Early County and how these prob
lems can be met.
The speaker is a native of Early
county, Cedar Springs being her
home, and is naturally interested in
the welfare of the people of this
county. She was with the health de
parment in Hawaii for a number of
years and told of her work there.
Fifty-nine counties in Georgia
have health departments. The speak
er compared death rates in counties
having health departments and those
not having them, and the figures
gave startling proof of the need in
each county of a health unit.
With enactment of the Ellis
Health Law in 1915, a board of
health was created in each of the
one hundred fifty-nine counties.
When two successive grand juries
recommend the adoption of the El
lis Health Law, it becomes obliga
tory on the county board of health
to organize a health department, and
on the county commissioners of
roads and revenues to provide the
necessary funds.
All classes of people are bene
fited by a county health department,
the rich, the poor, the old, the young,
the white, and the colored, the
speaker stated. As puplic roads and
public schools are available to all
people, so is health protection the
right of all classes, Miss Floyd added.
Miss Virginia Anderson, consult
ant nurse in S. W. Regional district,
whose headquarters is in Albany,
accompanied Miss Floyd and spoke
briefly of her work.
