l~Th THE UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN
| A most commendable undertaking has been in
i' Augurated by the Kiwanis club of Albany, in estab- ,
lishinc a twice-a-wcek free clinic for children who
| may Be unfortunate and need assistance. Doctors
and dpntirts have responded to the movement and of
fered their services free; the members of the Kiwanis
club have raised a fund sufficient to bear all cx-
pensos for supplying medicines, dental materials,
fecial foods, eyeglasses and such other things as
may be needed, in providing for the underprivileged
children of that city.
This club proposes not to only help those who may
ply, but they have appointed committees who will
surac the responsibility of hunting up those who
may. he in need and yet too proud or timid to seek
the benefits which have been provided for them by
these'generous-hearted gentlemen.'
Theta are children in ail communities who have
physical defects and regardless of their station in
life dir financial condition, parents should sec to it
that proper carp ami attention is given them parly in
life. The life df many children is made miserable
from some weakness or physical defect which could
have been relieved if given the proper attention by
physicians and specialists. It is an important move
ment and moans much to the coming generation.
'As a suggestion: The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs
of this city could not undertake a movement which
would mean more to the community than by follow
ing the precedent set by the Albany club of Kiwan-
lans. It is believed that the physicians, dentists and
specialists here would give of their time freely for
such a purpose—certainly the professional members
of these clubs would contribute generously of their
v time to the work cf relieving and aiding ail such
cases as might be brought to the clinic.'
COME AND GET IT IF YOU WANT IT
iv- For some time’The Banner-Herald has Dcen trying
to interest not only neighboring farmers, buti the
residents of many of the small, towns and villages in
this section In the fact that AthcnB as a market
could and would take at a fair price all tho produce
they pould raise and get to market in merchantable
shaprji. An investigation of just what tho Athens
, market, alone, can be made to mean to neighboring
furms from a cash standpoint indicates that tho fig
ures will run into a good many million dollars.
Athens’ annual food bill runs from 2 to 3 million
dollars a year, and around $1,000,000 could and
ought'to be produced and sold from nearby farms.
If neajby farmers could bo assured of an annual in-
; , come from the Athens market of $1,000,000 a year,
imagine we would hear less of the boll wectil.
The chances arc that with such an income yearly
coming in from the Athens market and with the
prorpects of shipping any surplus to outside markets,
it wouldn’t be long before this income could he
doubled, for Florida to the couth of us with its winter
tourist trade is always in the market for carload lots
of chickens and eggs, and butter and milk and
cream for the hotel trado.
Conservatively speaking, Athens annual food bill
will run something like the following:
Poultry Products $500,000
Butter 360,000
Milk 008,000
' I -Pork Products 200,000
Beef 260,000
‘Potatoes 136,000
•ty/"' /Vegetables 227,000
In round figures nearly $2,000,000 for food most
of which can and ought to bo raised on nearby and
adjoining farms. Sugar, flour, fish, and other
item.: in Athens’ diet will run these figures up a mil
lion dollars more a year. It seems that here Is a
market if our farmers care to come and get it. May
be, when' they get tired of wrestling with tho boll
weijvil, they will turn their attention to the food
mu ’ bet, not only in Athene but in other nearby cities.
H Outside markets for carload shipments can easily
be ured so that the local markets can bo stabilized
ami any glut he prevented. As indicated Florida in
the winter would prove a desirable market for eggs,
poulti-y and butter, just as Florida at the present
time is calling upon Georgia for late vegetables and
tomatoes in carload shipments. The North and East
can npt raise their own food and will always take
" hat this section could ship in the way of eggs and
chickens and fruits and vegetables. As the natives
of South Africa for years walked over the diamond
fields,* kicking the pebbles out of the way without
realizfcg their value, so the farmers’of this section
seem to be overlooking 2 to 3 million dollars a year
cash money, any day in the year, while they
