In addition to lectures on for

Cenistis Heads In
State Are Optimistic
Over Unemployment
ATLANTA, Ga—(AP)--Optim
ism over the unemployment sit
uation in Georgia was expressed
Saturday by census supervisors,
who said data gathered by their
forces showed most Georglans
were at work. cF 3
Figures on unemployment were
gent to the Bureau of Census at
Washington by most of the super
visors before they were notitied
they could announce their find
ings locally., However, the super
visors were virtually all of the
opinion that the unemployment
situation in this state was by no
means acute. 6
The figures of Atlanta were not
available here, but Dr. Elizabeth
Broach, census supervisor, said
the percentage of persons idle was
small. : ;
Columbus; a manufacturing city,
showed less than three percent of
its eitizens out of work. C. M.
Young, supervisor of census, said
that on April 2, there were 1,716
persons idle in Columbus, with a
population of 43,073. This percen
tage was unusual in face of the
fact that ColumbuS has 14 large
textile milis, indicating the fac
tories were running with good
CTews.
Mr. Young said that couditions
had improved since April 2.
The Athens district is mostly
agricultural, and the supervisor
said the “matter of unemployment
in the 10 counties of this district
was of little importance.” :
He podinted out that most of the
farm laborers whe were idle when
the census was taken in the
spring, went to work soon after
wards, planting and cultivating.

Price Reduction of
S4OO Is Announced
On Packard Eight
Principal interest in the auto- |
mobile industry has centered on
the announcement made Welines- |
day by the. Packard Motor Cars
Company that it had reduced the
price of the, Standard Eight S4OO. |
Eleven different types are af,-';
fected by the cut. It brings the
Standard Eight ‘five passenger se
dan down very nearly to 32,000,
In conformity with a policy
which aroused much favorable
comment two seasons ago when
Packard originated it, the an
nouncement of the present price
reduction was accompanied by the
frank statement of the company
that it expects to bring out a new
car in the fall. "It was explained
that the reduction was made for
this reason. i
Packard has made but few radi
cal changes in the appearance of
its cars and the new car to be in
iroduced in the fall, Wednesday's
announcement by the company
said, will show even less change
in the exterior appearance than
wag noticed last September when
the present line of Standard Eights
was introduced. Changes are ez,
pected to be improvements and
refinements such as Packard is
able to make in its product from
time to time.
Many rumors have been in cir
culation recently about contem
plated changes by Packard were
completely set at rest by tlie defm
nite and positive statement of the
company that the new cars will be
equipped with the Packard
straight eight motor, the sim
plicity and power of which have
found such popular favor. s
Men’s Social Club
Deing Fine Work
The Men's Social Club, of the
Southern Manufacturing Company,
has proven a splendid and useful
organization which has been most
helpful to its members in many
ways. Weekly meetings are held
interspersed with entertainments
of music, dramatics and social in
tercourse. The club is presided
over by D. T. Long, president;
with Claude B. Guest, secretary.
In addition. to the social fea
tures, benefits are derived by the
members in case of sickness or
other causes necessitating relief.
The purpose of the club and the
results beneficial to its members
have been most gratifying. The
membership is growing and much
interest is being shown on the
part of those in _charge of ‘the

And If Jerry Finds
Him It’s Liable To
Be Just Too Bad
Somewhere in Athens Sat
urday night a man who had
“got rvich quick ideas” was
playing hide and seek with
Jerry Shellnut of the Pied
mont Market. And woe to
him if Jerry locates his hide
out.
The villian of this piece
stood outside the market Sat
urday night until he saw all
of the clerks were busy. Then
he rushed in with a ten dol
lar bill and bought $1.20
worth of groceries, saying he
was in a big hurry. Jer-y
was in a hurry himself as
several were waiting to be
accomodated. So Jerry took
the “ten” and gave the
stranger his $7.80 change,
When th- store closed and
the register check-up came
the “ten” was found to be a
one which had been rather
crudely raised to a ten dollar
note. And then Jer:y grab
bed his hat and the game of
hide and seek -got under way
in dead earnest.

Firday is the -gfeve‘nth Memorial
Poppy Anchor made by “The
Poppy Lady.” For nine consecutive
vears this memorial service was
at Savannah on Memorial Day. In
1929 while the Georgia Division of

Anchor was launched off the coast
at Brunswick.
This year the Naval Academy
launched the anchor. A telegram

launched at noon. Twenty-one-gun
salute. Prayer. Most impressive
ceremony.” :
When the beautiful Poppy An
chor had been explained to a
group of small children which had
come to see the anchor, one little
girl said, ‘‘Miss Michael, please
‘et me kiss just one poppy.”
And that’s the message sent out
to comfort the hearts of those
who gave “all who went down at

Dr. Strahan’s Statement
The statements ‘of Dr. Strahan
and Mr, McLeroy follow:
“The outcome of Friday’s elec
tion in my favor finds me grate
ful to so many friends and sup
porters for efforts in my behalf
and for kindness toward my can
didacy that I must take this pub
lic method” of expressing ‘my
thanks to them all and my sense
of the serious responsibility
which has been entrusted to me
bv their confidence. ‘
“1 feel equally constrained to
express to each of the opposing
candidates and their loyal friends
the wery kindliest of feeling and
the utmost respect. 1 could not
fail to say this in a campagin
which has been run by all con
cerned purely in a spirit of
friendly rivalry, free from all
rancor and personal bitterness,
with an eye single to the best in
terests of the county as they saw
it {
“Pmerging from this race for
ihe seven month unexpired term
with a most gratifying and con
vincing majority, I have accepted
the result as a popular mandate
that T should offer myself as a
candidate for the long term in the
Democratic primary to be held on
September 10th next. Otherwise,
the services which [ have hoped
to render and which the voters
have endorsed, would be largely
unproductive by the shortness of
time in office.
“Hence, I have today deposited
the required entrance fee and will
be a candidate for one of the
commissionerships in that elec
tion. " [
“Respectfully,
“C. M. STRAHAN.”
Mr. McLeroy's Statement
“The election for a county com
missioner of our county is over
and while I was not successful in
the election I have no ill feeling
towards any one.
“] want to thank all those who
voted and smpported: me in the
race and 1 assure each of them
that 1 highly appreciate their
support. It is especially gratify
ing that my old home district
(Bradberry’s) gave me the entire
vote of the district.

ment in transportation for: the
city, according to C. D. Flanigen
vice-president and - manager of
the Georgia Powe- company
properties in Athens.
The five new coaches have beeh
in Athens for several days, giv
ing the operators an opportunity
to become thoroughly familia»
with their operation and with the
new routes. Each of the eoaches
has a seating capacity of 23 per
sons. They are equipped with
balloon tires. hydraulic hrakes,
leather-upholstered seats, especi.
all-- shaded overhead lights, and
all other features of modern auto
mobile manufacture which tend
to incirease the safety and com
fort of riders. They are pairted
cream from the window ledges
up, with the rest of the body in
red.
Two Through Routes
Two through routes are oper
ated, practically duplicating the
routes formerly traversed bv the
street cars. The Prince-Milledge
line starts at Prince and Buena
Vista avenues and extends over
Prince, Pulaski, Harcock, Lump
kin, Washington, Jackson, Clay
ton, Lumpkin, Dougherty, Prince,
Hill and Milledge to the terminus
at Milledge and Lumpkin, return
irg over the same route. Coach
es on the othe:r line, known as the
Lumpkin-Boulevard line, start at
Boulevard and Hiawassee street
ard operate over Boulevard, Bar.
ber, Prinece, Pulaski, Hancock,
Lumpkin, Washington, Jackson,
Clayton, Lumpkin, Milledge, Mil
ledge Terrace, Tallulah, West
View Drive and Milledge circle to
Milledge and Lumpkin, and back
over the same route.
The Tumpkin-Boulevard line
extends service to a rapidly de
veloping rvesidential section which
lies beyond the end of the present
street car tracks. The loop
around Milledge avenue, Milledge
terrace, Tallulah and Milledge
circle embraces the new territory.
Bchool Tickets
A feature of the new service is
the special children’s ticket,
which is sold in strips of ten for
50 cents at the company’s offices.
Fares for adults are the same as
thev were on the street cars—a
ten-cent cash fare for casual rid
ers, amnd tickets sold at two for
15 cents., Transfers are issued
from one coach line to the other
Whi's school tickets are good only
on school days between 7:30 a. m.
and 3 p. m., and may be purch
ased only at the company’s office,
other tickets may be purchased
from any of the coach opecrators
Scarcely so comfortable as the
new coaches, but modern enough
in their day, were the cars that
traersed the streets of Athens
first in 1885. Upon the weather
and upon mulish dispositions de
pended to some extent their com
fort and speed, but they =rovided
the first passenger transportation
across the city, and they were
hailed as the greatest convenlience
of a.new age.
Substitution of the coaches for
the street cars was made by per
mission of council, and, according
to C. D. Flanigen, was “an effort
to provide a system of transror
tation in full accord with the
most impressively attractive fea
tures of the community and its
civic ideals and prog:ress, yet at
tke same time; at a cost not ex
ceeding the revenue produced by
its patronage.”
