AN-EMPTY STOCKING ON CHRISTMAS MORNING
The greatest disappointment and -sorrow that can
come; into the life of a child is to awaken on Christ
mas morning and find, an empty stocking. In every
hotnc in this broad land little children on Christmas
eve night prattle and play around their mothers
knees and before retiring hung up their stockings
-with the absolute belief that‘Old- Santa Claus will
come down the chimney and leave thorn all the things
they have written and prayed for weeks and months
before Christmas. They huddle off to bed and dream
of thqitbinga they will findjv thflif stockings when
they wake early on ChrlstmdsYnorning. Their little
hearts are all aglow and their spirits bouyed up-in
the belief that an invisible Santa Claus will leave
themiaH they have asked -for. Can you not imagine
their, great disappointment, sorrow and a broken
heart to find an empty stocking. Let us resolve that
there shall be no empty stockings in any home in
Athena; pn Christmas mdrning this year. There are
some cases here that deserve attention of the kind
heated and charitably inclined. If these cases were
sought out and made knpwn, we ate sure that every
.child in a desolate home would be made happy on
v Christmas morning with a stocking overflowing with
the things that brighten the. lives of children and es
pecially so atthia season of the year. Our people will
give and if the representatives of Some.of the chari
table organizations in tho city-will take! the lead in
the movement, there will not be an empty stocking
- in any home in Athena on Christmas morning.
1 •;' Let us plan a campaign that will insure to every
needy child in Athens not only a full stocking on
Christmas morning, but a bountiful supply oi the
more substantial needs—-food, clothing and fuel. Re
member the child of vne • mpty stocking and help to
bring.happiness its its home through a contribution
to someof the organizations that are charged with the
ifwjTonxibiUty for caring for tho unfortunates.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR LABOR
Secretary Davis and the.National Association of
Manufacturers report that the demand for labor has
shown a -wonderful increas j during the pas; six weeks
over that of recent years at thia season of the year.
The number of unemployed -throughout the country
is should-to be less than that of last year for the same
period and that a -general demand for labor is being
felt in all manufacturing and industrial lines. In
many instances, the industrial plants are increasing
their production which calls for increased labor and
In the building line much activity for this season of
the year is being shown.
;Thc reports from these sources are the cause for
much encouragement generally. With labor em
ployed and receiving a living wage; the country is
bound to prosper. Usually the winter months bring
an army? of unemployed men and- women throughout
the country; these people are dependent upon work
for a. living and when they become unemployed, not
only do they suffer, but business suffers from a
condition that creates idle wokmen.
. THE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION
There has been much discussion over the question
-of “w^o makes a public utility go”. The matter has
been argued from various angles, but the most reas
onable solution yet offered has been put forward by
Current Affairs, a publication in Boston, Massachu
setts.. It says:
“Again, the question: ‘Who makes a public utility
go?’
‘Wa.do,’ say the stockholders. ‘We finance if
",‘We do,’ says the management. Without our in
telligence and foresight all the money in the world
could-W>t make it go.around.’
^‘TOe do/ say the works. ?A public utility would.
be bnable to exist except for the sweat of cur brows.’
“t/wo-do,' say the users of the'service or things the
; public utility offers. ‘If we did not patronize a public
'■ufUityi it could not survive.’ \
,.‘‘A8 a matter of fact all are wrong.' The public
utility could not serve and prosper without the co
operation of all- four groups."
. m a* “SPEED COPS” IN AUTOMOBILES
QntiWest the municipal and county authorities arc
paging the. “speed cops" in- automobiles instead of
using motorcycles as has been the practice since the-
system of '“speed cops” was Inaugurated some years
ago. Tho theory advanced for the change is that it
eliminates a hazard to the police and affords them
more comfort in the discharge of-their duties! in run
ning, down violators of the law. ■
The experiment has worked most successfully in
Cleveland, Ohio;- That city is now using a number of
roadsters-for their “speed” squad which is said to be
an improvement over the use of motorcycles. Such a
system might be an improvement for Athens, but it
is is not expected that it will be, considered here for
some time to come, if at all.
-Some of the -political forecasters, are'predicting-
Governor Franklin Roosevelt for. president; Senator
Rat Harrison for vice president in 1932.*' A-fine selec
tion and.we do'not believe that the ticket coaid be im
proved upon..
Maybe the price of turkeys for Christmas will be
in line with the pocketbook of the average working
man.
Resolutions, oh, well, it is too early to commence
thinking about them yet. Let's wait until.after
