William Mashburn
Dies from Injuries
In Auto Accident
Funeral services for William
Thomas Mashburn, 21, former Blake
ly young man, who died in a Mineola,
N. Y., hospital early Saturday morn
ing, were held Tuesday afternoon
at the Blakely Baptist church, of
which church he was a member.
Mr. Mashburn’s death came as the
result of injuries sustained in an
automoibile accident the night of Oc
tober 19. He suffered a fractured
leg and head injuries when the car
he was driving crashed into a tree.
At first it was thought that he was
not seriously injured, as the day
after his wreck he talked and chatted
with friends who visited him at the
hospital. After an x-ray examina
tion it was found that he suffered a
brain concussion. He lapsed into a
coma on Monday night and never re
gained consciousness. His mother,
Mrs. J. G. Mashburn, of this city,
went to New York upon being noti
fied of her son’s injury and was at
his bedside when death came.
Young Mashburn’s body was
brought back to Blakely Monday and
funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon, with his pastor, the Rev.
S. B. King, in charge of the final
rites, with the Rev. E. M. Overby
assisting. The following young
friends of the deceased served as
pall-bearers: Bob North, Lewis Fry
er, Jr.’, Leonard Houston, Philip
Spence, Bernard Herring and Sam
Garwood. Interment followed in the
city cemetery, with the Minter, Fel
lows & Forrester Funeral Home in
charge of arrangements.
Young Mashburn was the son of
Mrs, J. G. Mashburn and the late
Mr. Mashburn of this city. Besides
his mother, he is survived by one
brother, Carlton Mashburn, also of
this city. He was a young man of
sterling qualities and was well-liked
and had many friends here where he
was born and reared, as was attested
by the beautiful floral offerings
sent by sympathizing friends. He
was 21 years of age and was a grad
uate of Blakely high school, class of
1937. He had for several months
been employed in a Manhassett, L.
L, New York restaurant. Prior to
going to New York he worked at
the local theatre.
ANOTHER FREAK EGG
COMES TO NEWS OFFICE
The unusual and freak egg season
seems to be in full swing. Now
comes Mr. D. W. Harrell with an egg
slightly premature, which resembles
a gourd and has a neck and head
that looks like a turkey. All of which
caused someone to remark that this
unusual egg was the result of a hen
being frightened by a turkey gobbler,
if one believes the old pre-war super
stitions.

The Early County
Principals’ Ass’n.
Six weeks have passed and a new
attendance record has been set. The
teachers and children seem to be en
tering into their work with a great
deal of enthusiasm. The Principals’
Organization is the executive branch
of our Early County School System.
They meet regularly each month to
plan and discuss administrative prob
lems. They seem to discuss their
own problems with a great deal of
pride and interest in every respect.
They exchange ideas and attempt to
set goals which will lead to a better
understanding among parents, chil
dren and teachers. They are at
tempting to find a means to solve
child retardation. Child retardation
comes about from various sources.
Competent and efficient teachers can
do much to check retardation. Par
ents who are desirous for their chil
dren to learn can aid the principal
and teacher greatly. It is agreed
that a great result can be obtained
when normal children are led and
directed in their studies rather than
by being driven. Even a horse can
be led. Certainly a child can.
Health is the major factor in a
child’s life which causes him to
learn and grow normally. Where one
finds illness, weak bodies, feeble
minds, hungry boys and girls, and
poor teachers, there can be no satis
faction or progression made in
Health Education. We have hot
lunch rooms in several of the
schools already in operation and oth
ers practically ready to start. These
schools and communities are to be
congratulated upon making these
hot lunches available for a better
health program.
Our problem is to help and teach
the child and not the book.

County School Superintendent.

$30,241.43 in Surplus
Commodities Given
To Early Countians
The Surplus Commodity Division
of Georgia State Department of Pub
lic Welfare distributed, during the
year ending June 30, 1941, 72,888,-
378 pounds of Surplus Commodities
consisting of thirty-one separate
food items, which were valued at $4,-
244,863.08. The Department also
distributed 1,828,039 household and
clothing items valued at $1,413,98.
The Early County Commodity
Warehouse distributed to a monthly
average of 600 families within the
county surplus foods valued at $30,-
241.43 and household and clothing
items valued at $14,128.20.
Surplus Food Commodities are
given to the State by the Surplus
Marketing Administration and house
hold and clothing items are process-1
ed by local WPA Sewing Projects
and distributed within the county.
The SMA is under the general di
rection of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. It’s two main
purposes are (1) to assist farmers
and producers in moving surplus ag
ricultural commodities outside the
normal channels of trade and com
merce and encouraging domestic con
sumption of these commodities, (2)
allocating these surplus commodities
to State Welfare Agencies for dis
tribution to eligible recipients. Sur
plus Commodities are purchased at
the direction of the United States
Secretary of Agriculture following
a determination that a surplus prob
lem exists, and that a surplus re
movable program would help correct
this condition.
A large portion of surplus com
modities received in the state during
the year was distributed to the
School Lunch Programs which had
an enormous expansion. The School
Lunch Programs, 2,448 schools
with 257,873 children was increased
to 4,994 schools with 473,589 child
ren before the end of the school
year. The sponsornig agencies and
school officials cooperated splendidly
in operating the school lunch pro
grams during the year just ending
and an additional increase in the
school lunch program is expected for
the current year.
