“Hats Off!"
%Ruby Thompson
o flay our hat is off for Miss
?i%uby Thompson, Home Demon
‘W’fion agent for Clarke county.
};‘fl Ruby” isn't as well known
*3!l the city of Athens as she is in
‘the ' county, but certainly Atheni
‘ans ought to know about her. Most
of her time is spent in the sur-
Tounding territory, or in her uffice
at the coury house, and th work
she ‘@oes is done quietly and with
out much hullabaloo. However, hol‘;
efforts in helping the folks cut ini
the county—both in the form of
welfare work, and in the prgani
zation of classeg for the purpose
of raising the standards of iiving
there—is worth notice. It is Jarge
1y through her efforts tha, the
women in the county have banded
together in their various commun
ities and formed clubs which are
assets, both to the community and
the county. “Miss Ruby's” friend- |
liness and personality makes ev
erygne who knows her like her,
and it'd be hard to find a better
loved person anywhere in Clarke
county. That's why we're saying
“Hats off to Ruby Thompson!”
Congratufations And
Many Happy Returns
We've just noticed that the three
Methodist churches in town have
been fortunate enough to have the
Conference send the pastors from
last year back again for another
year: Lestor Rumble, to the First
Methodist, L. B. Jones, to Young
Harris, end J. A. Langford, to
Oconee stret. Rev. Rumble will be
here for his sixth term, having
been here something like two years
more than average. Under Rev.
Jones's leadership, the Young
Harris church has grown and
taken on new life. Rev. Langford
{s returning for his second year,
and his work has helped the Oco
nee streey Methodist church be
come an active force in civie life. |
That's why we're congratulating
these churches on their good for
tune in having these men returned
to them.
Maybe It Was .
Two Other Fellows
He was talking abou a lady
high in the social set of Athens.
“She's one of thoge—you-know—"
he essayved—‘socialite—or lis il
‘gocialist’?” And one fellow we
know insists on calling “socialists”
“gocialouses.” |
Mala Chorus At .
Hill’s Baptist
We notice with a great deal of
interest thay the Wise Male Cho
rus of Philadelphia will be pre
sented in recital at Flilll's Baptis!
church Wednesday night. This
course appeared at the World's
Fair lasy summer and made a
tremendous hit. It has appeared
in Athens several times in the
past, and each time. a large, audi
ence of both white and colored
people has enjoyed them. and
those who have already heard them
are enthusiastic about their return.
One colored fellow we know, told
'u(s‘that’ there were special seats
“preserved” for white people, The
admission price is thirty-five cents.

Brittain Declares{
ATLANTA,; Ga~—(AP)—Dr. M.l
L. Brittains president of the Geor
gia School .of Technology, in zm‘
address Saturday said he believed|
“time will show the wisdom” of
the return of the department ut‘f
commerce, which was abolished by'|
the University System Board of |
Regents, effective July 1, 1934. ‘
“Engineers certainly need train
ing in ‘business “administration as ‘
much as professional men,” I)r.-‘
Brittain .said in an address pre- l
pared for delivery to the luncheon ;
meeting of the Georgia Tech Nat- l
jonal Alumni association, “but
‘what I fear’ most is that this first
‘e}imluation of commerce will lead
to further loss as of architecture,
‘l‘or instance, with the purpose u[|
making Georgia Tech a mere de
partment of the University at Ath
ens instead of a complele techni
cal ‘college as I desire. |
“Georgia cannot afford to dim
the lustre of the school which hus‘
won fame in this country as well
as abroad through the excl*llence;
of its work,” he said. |
President Brittain said ‘“not in- |
tentionally would the fine person
nel of the Board of Regents di
minish this hard-won position,
but I am frank te say that this |
loss of our commerce department
would never have occurred—in '
spite of our survey commissions—
if Tech had been given its just
share of members on the Board of
Regents with the instinctive and
natural leaning towards their
alma mater.”
Dr. Brittain expressed apprecia
tion for the gift to the school of a
portrait of himself. The portrait
was presented by the class of 1933
{and was unveiled in Brittain Me
