In eieciInK Dr. Harold Hodg-
„,n lo the position of health officer
the members of our city council
d.d will end wisely and their action
will be endorsed and applauded by
all our eitizrns. A better selection
r„r this important poeltlon could
not poss.bly be had.
Firstly. Dr. Hodgson Is an Ath
ens bom and reared young man
and ail tilings being equal In the
selection of a man for the office
I,reference should always be given
home talent. It is only too often the
rase that we think Just because
something comes from a distance
a is better than home Products.
FITTED FOR , (
POSITION
Secondly. Dr. Hodgson Is In every
say fitted for this position, and hie
eleetion insures the cltisens of Ath
ens pure food and a proper ob
servance of all sanitary regula
tions. Dr. Hodgson knows our City
and Its people, and Just what Is

Scout Executive Turner
Is Attending School For
Leaders At Mercer Uni
versity. To Return.
Slbttr-three, boy scours, under
the direction of H. A. Pendergraph,
and la. J. Sexton returned yester
day from a fifteen day camp at
Mountain City. Each bore a nut-
brown hue Indicative of the height
of good health, and all of the party
were lavish In their praise of * the
splendid outing enjoyed. ('■>
It was learned that Oscar'Mc
Whorter stood out from the'fest
anil us pevpis, bhu mwi •» . ■ 7 .7*7,
needed to promote the healthful- f* his. .mates In garnering Siiolit
ness of Athena.
SERVED GALLANTLY
THROUGHOUT WAR
Third. Dr. Hodgson served his
country gallantly through the
World War and was seVerly
sounddd. The best reward we can
our brave boys Is provide them
with employment suitable to their
talent and needs. TJhen too Harold
Hodgson is one of the most popu
lar boys ever raised In Athens and
his host of friends are delighted
10 hire him return to the city
and he with us.
Whon our cltisens read In .the
banner Saturday morning that'Dr.
Hodgson had been chosen health
officer, with ono accord they ac
claimed "Well done,” thou good
and faithful servants.’
It was a wise act on the part of
our city fathors putting an ex
pert at the hand of tho health de
partment of our wonderful govern
ment and under Dr. Hodgson It
means that Athens wilt be kept
In a clean nnd sanitary condition
and pore food furnished our people.
JTREET IMPROVEMENT
ON TWO BLOCKS
I that stone Is being hauled
to the block betwetl
and LumpklH' e(i
old Newton House, and which I
hope means the paving of that
hlork. This la very Important work
and I do not understand why It
haa been so long neglected. Front
ing tho campus and being the
moare on which the monumonta
nre plared visitors to (Athens often
Ilk why this block was left out
when the other streets were paved
H Is a section of our leiullng
business street, but to traverse It
Is like running a car over a
eorderoy road. That can and should
be made one of the most attractive
•quires in our city.
And our cltisens heartily endorse
•he proposition to abolish the Uttle
lark between the post office and
City hall no an to utilize that entire
iireot for travel. This Is one of
ibe most important squares In the
eiiy it it often Jammed with cars.'
The only une to which that park
la. In a site for the old donblo
barrel cannon, and that rsllo should
be placed In the grounds of the
city hail. Every inch of that block
l« needed for cars and travel and
the sooner that little park Is abol-
lihed and the ground It occupies
lidded to the street the better
tor the public.
NEED ACTION TO
GET WHITE WAY
Let ua quit talking about.a WJilte
w»y for Athens and go to work
and make one. Even the little town
“f Winder has a white way and I
know of no place the .size of Atlt-
*ns but has this Attraction. The
ether night in returning from a
lri P to the country, both Broad
and Clayton streets looked dark and
drear. And we ought *p have lot*
of these bunlnes* thoroughfares
made as bright as the noonday sun
