ANOTHER MEMORIAL DAY A month ago the South bowl’d its head in revej’C'rit observance of a day set aside as one of homage tif Ihe sons of Dixie who gave their all in .the Civil War, a legion that is fast passing and in a few more years there will be hut a small host remaining of the gal- lant lines that charged with I’ickett at Gettysburg, campaigned with Lee in Virginia or fought with the Confederate navy at New Orleans, Hampton Roads and. along the Atlantic coast. ; I$ut it seems that our country is never to be with- out its soldier heroes. As those of the war of 1812 wetjs passing came those of the Mexican campaign, followed by those of the Sixties, and as these began to reach the ‘evenin’ tide of their lives the veterans of theiSpanish American war crowded upon their heels an<£ now comes that mighty host from the World Wa>, many of them also veterans of the campaigns of ‘98; but all still lusty and fit for additional service should their country call. gor these last two groups of veterans another me morial day has come and today all America pauses amf with flags and poppies, the little* cupped me, memtoes of those who sleep beneath the soil of France wilt pay homage to those who carried the flag to for eign shores in the name of freedom and liberty. i ffix years ago America had just entered the war on The ride of the Allies and five years ago she was usg beginning lo throw her strength into the line oi lattle, a whole year being lost on account of our country being unprepared for a conflict that had been going on for three years and one in which it was al most inevitablc-from the beginning that we would ^Wedneeday, as America pavs tribute to those who ' died, thousands of them avoidably on account of this unurepaiedness, it is well that serious thought be givfen to action forever preventing a repetition of the coi iition in which we were found in 1917. Without bee >ming militaristic this country can always main- taii sufficient preparedness to be able to turn the tidi of battle without losing an entire year and send- injn thousands of soldiers to a premature grave. Wei live in a land of liberty loving and war ab- hotting people but there has never been a day in our history when thffcrq has not been a hero of one war iefito salute tht* younger hero*of the riext. We all ethe holocaust of 1914-18 will be the last of wars when the last ex-soldier whose deeds of valor we eshen in out memory on May 30th passes there be no other to take his place but these hopes not bo better realized than by this country ever ping on the Wort, alert with the R. O. T. C„ the A. T.

( “OWN YOUR OWN HOME” Cast year an .‘‘Own Your Own Home hop campaign was inaugurated iu Athens which netted splendid re turns to the comnlunity. Another campaign of this Irirfii would not be amp s, but it would be timely and beneficial to all citizens. The reason for such a week is sited by an exchange which gives some sound and earth reasons wbyjiuch weeks should be made a permanent institution in every community. Here are the reasons given: ..... 5 First. To show the advantages of thrift for home ownership. Only 48 per cent are home owners. Ownership encourages responsibility. J Second. ‘To overcome the present shortage h'.'&t homes—America needs 800,000 homes. ...r Third. To fetnengthen Home life and make it attractive. Fourth. iYo assist and encourage home 1 ■ makers and home builder*. Ninety-two per cent. , of the women of America do _ their °. wn home work. w 5 Fifth. To improve the home environment, . thereby strengthening the child. ‘ To increase the , Efficiency of the wage-earner of the house.. : ‘ Sixth. To stimulate sensible and valuable purchasing fer home improvement. ' - Seventh. To mobilize community pride for ■ a common objective—pride of home. ^ There is another deserving movement on this line Mi’tilch is nation-wide in scope and will be observed' “generally throughout the country. It is “Better Heines Week” from June 4 to June 10. AH over -the country'demonstration agents are puslrtBffWlieai movement in the rural district and many of tlfe agri cultural papen- nro devoting much space to the move ment, urging the people of the rural sections, especi ally to become interested. Both movements are de ceiving and, if ao|lowed will prove'beneficial to’&iljf communities both rural and urban. It is an ambitrah which every m«i should have to own a home and to make his home li better home. It is worth while in order to get tha| ogt of life which every family should have, comfort, pedee and happiness. All the good... things in life come with the home and .without ‘ the ’pood things of life, home is a desolate and uninviting place. New faces—a new personnel, almost entirely, faced us at a meeting of the members of the board of trustees at~tftfc State Normal School Tuesday. Wo were raemlwr of the original board of 1 trustees of lhat institution, back i 1904—that Is when the commission was abolished and a board of trustees established by the legis lature. There was only one othc member present at this meeting who was present at the first meet- ing in 1904—Mr. Joseph W. Smith of Reldsville. ;«iany of those who attended the first meeting of the hoard have passed to the great beyond. Among those we can recall are—*t'ol. W. J. Morton ,of Athens; Senator J. R. Hogan, of Lin/oln- ton; Hon. Joseph A. Davis, of Al bany; Hon. Tarter Tate, of Tate Governor Joseph M. Terrell A. A. Calson, of Columbus, and there may be, others who wo do not recall. It brings to mind recol lections of pleasant associations which will live with us forever but the reminder yesterday caused sannf'ss of :heart and the realis ation that some of the best friends e have ever Jiad had lieen called to their reward. And such comes to us all. i hoard was a fitting tribute to his worth, ability and for the splendid unselfish service he has rendered to this school for many years past. His election yesterday was for the sixth consecutive term as presi dent of the board and, to him, is due ih a great measure, the won derful growth this institution has enjoyed In recent years. There are slv prominent women of Georgia on this hoard. It was wise and proper for the governor to appoint them.
