SELL ATHENS TO OUR HOME PEOPLE
There is much discussion goinp the rounds of Lbe
press of the state urging the people of local com
munities to sell their home town first to themselves
—then sell it to outsiders. No home seeker or in
vestor will be attracted to a place where the home
people, do not demonstrate a confidence in its fu
ture growth and development. The Thomasville
Times-Entcrprisc carried a splendid editorial on
the subject of "selling the home town” first on
which the Moultrie Observer commented as follows:
“It. is not a bad thought. Most of us are concern
ed about bringing in other people to do things.
* We Want to sell our city or community to those at a
distance who have money to invest. It would
probably be easier and just as fruitful of results to
sell the community to the home people. What we
want the man at a distance to do is to come in and
start something that will prove a community devel
oper. If it will pay the man who lives at a dis-
. : tance, it will nay the home man.
If we would unit hanging up our stockings and
waiting to see if Santa Claus will bring industries,
and go about the business of establishing industries
we would find that after all there is a Santa Claus,
but he doesn't live at the Ncrth Pole.
One nlace that this community should bo sold is in
the public schools. Work should be irstallcd there
that Will start the minds of the boys and girls to
thinking about the things that can be done at home.
...Get their thoughts focused on opportunity at home
Before they begin to dream of opportunities far from
home. *
We need to sell our community to,our local cap
ital, and to our local talent. Talent and capital
need to be brought together. Tilt; man with.geniiis
should be introduced to the man with money. We
should know our own comihunity so that the man
with an idea may be acquainted with the man who
is able to develop ideas and market them.
In our search for information, we should not for
get to learn about our own community.”
Taking up the discussion of “selling the home
town,” the Cobb County Times, gives the following
\ expression:
“What is true in other cities is coually true in Ma
rietta. We have an abundance of talent here—un
developed, it may be, but just as capable of being
trained to bring out the best in a community. Wo
have reference to the young boys and girls in the
city, who tomorrow -Will be the heads of industry
Marietta has indeed a wonderful future and wlio
can foretell what the coming years Will bring forth
All the talent and genius that is now lving dormant
in many a young man and woman can be awakened
by instilling within them the thought that this is
their city; their home—and whatever is done for the
glory and posterity of that city, it will reflect to
them.”
What has been said by the foregoing exchanges
is absolutely true and worthy of consideration bv
the people of every community. It applies to Ath
ens as well as to any other town or city iq the state.
Athens has demonstrated its faith in Athens in
many.ways. Practically all of the manufacturing
industries here were organized and financed by lo^
cal capital; but are we sold on Athens? If we are

PROTECT THE PRESIDENT
News dispatches announce the dangerous condition
of the roof of the White House. In fact it ia atatid
from nuthoratfvc sources that with the falling of a
heavy snow or sleet, the roof that covers the white
house would not be sufficiently strong to prevent It-
from, crushing in. Congress could not justify such
an occurrence. If the condition as described actuhl-
Hly exists—then it if obligatory on the part of con
gress to order the building made aafe. The catas-
tropho that occurred in Washington a few years ago
should be a reminder; a theatre building roof laden
with snow crushed in one night and many lives were
lost and many casualties reported. A niece of Con
gressman Upshaw, of this state, paid the toll of her
presence in the theatre with her life. Not so many
of course, would be exposed to danger should the
roof of the White Hause gave wav. but the chief
executive .if this nation—the President of the Uni
ted States and his immediate family, would be'sub-
ject to giving (heir lives aa a toll for the negligence
of congress.
By all menns, congress should act'and sec to it
that the White House roof is made safe from dau-
ger ami those who dwell in it be protected from
any disaster that may arise on account of a de
fective roof. . .
