MEETING UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES
The trustees of the. University of Georgia meei
Thursday in annual session. The gathering of these
dietinguished citizens of Georgia marks an era in the
year which is always looked'forward to with much
interest on the part of Ihe people of Athens as well as
those throughout (he state. II is a coming together
of men who have the interests of the young men and
young women of Georgia at heart and their delibera
tions are centered on the betterment of higher educa
tion in this state.
They are welcomed by Hie people of Ailiens, mem-
' bers of the faculty and the local trustees who extend 1
to them during their stay in the city a most hearty and
cordial invitation to feel (hat Athens is their,home. .
the home of true and loyal Georgians. • . ■ .
Speaking of the cloudburst
in Macon mt Sunday, Bridges
Smith, feature writer in the
Telegraph, has the following to
say ot an interview with one of
the oldest citizens of that commun
ity and a minister of the gospel of
Vamacraw church:

WHY NOT ATHENS
The city of Macon and county of Biljb 3ro planning
to caure a bill to be introduced in the legislature this
month which will-combine the city and county Health
Boards and place the health work in that community
under one supervisory body and one commisrlgher.
This, it seems to this newspaper, is a wise step for
Macon and Bibb county , to take. We do not’pretend
to 1 know the health conditions in Bibb county or in
Macon but there is no reason to believe that the health
work in the city and county cannot he done better and
even more economically under one directing head
than to have two sots of employees.
Of course, consolidation of the boards and placing
the work in the hands of one man will not bring about
a considerable cut in the employees’ list but it will no
doubt save some money. However, saving money is
not the primary object of this consolidation. Effi
ciency and better health protection for the commun
ity is the aim.,
• This newspaper wishes it understood in the begin
ning that there is no doubt but that the health author
ities here are doing everything they can in botK'cohVi-
ty and city to protect the people from disease. How
ever, the fcity health department has not sufficient
funds with which to perform its work as effectually
as the health officers, would desire. Particularly us i
this ( true in the sanitfiry department. ’ 1 1 I
r It appears to up thot if, the county nnd city health
departments were placed tinder one managing board
and health,commissioner it might result in aaavipg in .
certniri quarters which could be applied to other
health work which is needing it sorely.
It’is understood City Council favors a reduction of
a, the staff of city physicians to one and combining that
U,: office with the office of bacteriologist and require the
man e^ctcd to spend a certain number of hours in
the city hall where he can be reached at anytime by >
people who need the services of the city physician.
The city bacteriologist is paid $1200 annually and the
two physicians $35.00 per month each.. A combina
tion of these salaries might make it possible to secure
a man who could,devote his entire time to city health
work under direction of a health commissioner who
would have charge of health work in both city and
criunty. •
It is understood that the late Dr. Dan Dupree had
in mind consolidation of the city and county health
work. The Banner-Herald has not investigated this
plan thoroughly but It would not be time misspent if
the health boards of the city and county would ap
point a committee to do this. If the health work can
be rendered more efficiently and better protection
given the community by combining the work it should
be done. If not, no one will be harmed by having the
matter investigated.
. DESECRATORS T >
The authorities of a Georgia county a few days ago !
gave permission to have a number of holly trees re
moved from the court hoit^e grounds and down in
Savannah the public is practicing such valdalism by
destroying the flowers and shrubs on “Victory Drive”
that police action seems necessary to -protect this
beautiful driveway.
St ,. It seems almost sacriligious to destroy a holly tree
nnd it has even been suggested that the Georgia legis-
fa^lature pass n bill protecting them even from raids
^Mby the public at Christmas times when the branches
mjire used for decorating and the smaller trees used
B for Christmas trees. The holly tree is so closely as-
1; sociated with the celebration of the birth of the
Savior and is becoming so scare, especially in Geor-
&' gia, that those trees that have escaped human hands
on the eve of Christmas should be preserved instead J
of destroyed.
1 ; Most wild flowers and shrubs are more beautiful
and better enjoyed as they grow in the woods but of
6- course in the spring when everything i»a-b|Q0.m with
!"- them it is permitted to pick them but when'the public
fit wades private grounds or^adroys.CDSkerttand shrubs
planted to beautify 4 roadways’it is nothing short of
vandalism and as for cutting down a holly tree thpt
t'. certainly should not be done unless the cSWumstanccs'
absolutely demand it.
The first cotton bloom has been reported from
a South Georgia epunty. It is no longer a novelty to
5 bring in the first boll weevil. It will be a few weeks
yet before fylodms begin to appear in this section, the
cotton crop being delayed considerable this year due
to the incessant rajns. ' _
