Bowdre Phiniiy, Secretary and Treasurer. I addressed to The Banner-Herald.- AN AMUSEMENT PARK Athlfts has progressed rapidly during the Inst few 'ears and has grown to be a modern and model city, _i\lt there is one improvement we must have if we ever expect to reach that stage of perfection as . a 'municipality which goes along with all growing cities and that is a public park and amusements. f- Athens has a population of over 20,000 inhabitants ind, yet not a place for recreation for those who are tired and worn from their daily occupations where they may go and not only enjoy the amusement fea tures, but enjoy the health-giving pure air and water. We can no longer afford to do without a park; it must come, and'come now, if we hope or expect to hold our people in Athens. Every holiday and on Sundays 'any leave the city for the reason that there is no _.acehere are near by to which they cun go and spend A few hours or a day in past time from their labors. The mayor and council should see to it that such x pjace is secured and proper equipment installed for lie comfort, convenience and pleasure of tht- citizen ship. Besides a public park, with amusement fca- utes, would attract large crowds here from neigh boring towns and suctions and, by their- presence dAusc our people to become better acquainted and a closer feeling created which would result in much in many ways. By all means let us have a public park and let us commence work on it before tbe rummer has passed. <fow is the'time to commence work and have it pre pared for the ensuing summer months. A PERFECT GAME A young University of Georgia student, an ath lete, Monday performed what is considered almost the impossible in the playing of the great American pastime the pitching of a perfect baseball game, u, Fred’Sale, a second year man on the team and a j youth hardly out of his teens performed this phenom enal fedtand hir ability in turning back the proud vis itors from the University of Virginia without a single run, without a single hit and without even so much as aii invader resting a foot on first base will go down in ijistory as a record for athletes in the years to coma to aspire to. xt. Perfect playing behind him on the part of the other eight men on the team of course enabled this'youth to accomplish the feat of sending back to the bench twenty fceven coniecutive butsmen - xvha faced him with a determination to dint his defense. . But: cool ness connected with ability and perfect team work was sudh a bulwark Of fortification that it could not Suplerced in this instance. - All honor to this baseball prodigy, all honor to his teammates who helped him to perform his feat and ajl honor to the Georgia team that so deservedly 'd^buld have the unanimous support of Athens and this section of Georgia. . t < A BLESSING TO GEORGIA The people of Macon have contributed much to Georgia'by withdrawing thq fight which has been carried bn for a number of years before the legisla ture for: tho removal of the Capital. Nothing can be gained by such a movement and great harm to the Itate could be brought. The moving of the Capital would engage the State in a heavy expense, and in crease the burden of taxation on the people, besides if the fight was kept up it would engendel' strife and turmoil from which it .would require years to wipe out. l';That the Capital removal question will not be brought-up at the session this year, will be reccived with a sigh .of relief from a large percentage of the pe ople of this State. I < The white way has caused a vast improvement to the,blocks over which it is spread. It is hoped now that the merchants and business men on other streets and other blocks will commence at once the extension of the white way. It is not only an improvement for the good of the city, but it is a feeder for every line Of business traversed by the white way. -Considering the season, why not include in the jtMfless chain of special weeks, a Borrow Your Neigh bor's Ladrnmower Week, a Quit Radio for Baseball week and an Office Boys’ Grandmother's Dead Week. The League Against Handshaking is con sidering a special week devoted to its propaganda, the Society for the Suppression of Spring Onion ■ers. - j ' ti jit Congress will be forgotten. He may persist on us ijtependgj-y character. Volstead has been the target Andrew Volstead, retired from Congress, hangs out his shingle again as u lawyer in Minnesota. Be- ' Mine his name is on the Volstead act, he will be re membered long after all his contemporary associates' Of ,a lot of ridicule and hatred from the wets. They teem to think that he personally screwed tha lid on mm Barleycorn’s coffin. Yet it was only by chance, as chairman of a committee, that his name was at tached to the Volstead act. He lent his name to a ra.-1 movement. The public, however, always singles out :;ome-one individual as the goat for.a situation. In 1921, .when genuine liquor was easier to get than now', only 1432 Americans were ligitimately engaged in manufacturing alcohol and medicinal hooch, com pared with 8322 in 1914, says a census report.
