Oklahoma and Kansas officers,
meanwhile, moved to carry out in
a systematic way the search for
Pritchard’s body that spread over
the country south of here Sunday
night, when officers drove the
handcuffed Wisdom over side
roads, trying to follow his con

Records Tell Story of Success in Fight
On Tuberculosis Among Athens Children
How a number of Athens school |
children with tubercular infection
were taken in charge by the local |-
health department, under the spon- |-
sorship of the Clarke County Tu- |
percular Association, and in eight ‘
| months are so improved ‘that they]
are ready to be dismissed, is thc)
graphic story of the records of Dr. '
Wedford W. Brown, health com-i
missioner. ‘
Last spring the Clarke County |
Tubercular Association furnished |
financial aid for the development |
of an experimen; with undernovr
ished children. Of 20 children se
lected for this work, eight were
found to be two plus tubercular.l
The children were given thomugh’
physical examinations, and the fi- |
nal rating was based upon x-raysi
of each individual child, Under |
the supervision of the health de-’

DUDLEY SEES LITTLE
LIKELIHOOD OF LEGAL
LIQUOR SALES HERE
There ig little possibility
‘that liquor will be legalized in
Athens, Mayor A. G. Dudley
stated at his office in City hall
Monday, as an outgrowth of
action by Augusta in licensing,
liquor.
Mayor Dudley explained that
he had not made any authori
tative statement on the coun
cil's stand, but ‘he felt that if
any action Wwere taken, it
would materially concur with
his opinion. :
The .mayor doubted whether
any such proposal would be
brought up in council.
“It is inconceivable that any
such resolutie;, will even be
brought before the council,” he
ended up.
AUGUSTA LIGENGING
DEFENDED. FLAYED
Councilman Says Action
Combats Evil of 200
Speakeasies in City.
AUGUSTA, Ga. —(®)— A state.
ment . charging there are 200
speakeasies in Augusta was made
by Councilman R. E. Allen, jr,
following a Sunday citizen’s mass
meeting which urged the city
eouncil ty reconsider its plan to
license liquor in the face of Geor
gia's bone dry laws.
“Phere are at least 200 speak
easies in Augusta and city coun
cil' does mot legalize whisky: but
recognizes and licenses conditions
which already exist,” said Allen.
He explained the council had no
police jurisdiction, which is vested
in a five man civil service com
mission, s
« The mass meeting condemned
the licensing ordinance as defiance
of national and state laws. One
of the speakers, the Rey. M. M.
McFerrin, pastor of the Green
Street Presbyterian church, said it
was a question of “whether we
shall be law abiding or defy, the
laws.” "~
A committee of three was named
by resolution to carry the meet
ing’s request before the city coun
cil.
“I do mnot know whether any
‘member of the council can be inti
midated by the professions of big
otry and intolerance, but I do not
believe they will,” Councilman
Allen said in commenting ‘on the
resolution and request.
“As a matter of fact, I believe
that with the exception of one or
two councilmen who are swayed
by political op ulterior motives,
the vast majority of city council
is in favor of the l{egulation of the
whisky evil as it now exists in Au.
gusta and they will overwhelming
ly indorse the previous action in
licensing sale of liquor.”
Allen added there wasan abund
ang supply of all kinds of liquors
in Augusta from $1.50 a gallon for
the cheapest grade of ‘“corn” on
up to $3 a quart for fine liquors.
He was among the majority of the

department was vigited once each
week and a record made of the
weight and general condition of
the child. At the time of the week
ly visit, the department nurse or
health officer gave instructions,
both specific and general, outlin
ing a program not only for the
‘child under observation, but for
other members of the family and
other residents of the community,
‘who became interested in their
iown hegflth and gathered each
week at the time of the health de
!panment vigit to ask for advice
regarding their own individual
' conditions. g
’ I; is expected that this rather
lsmall experiment will point the
way to a community wide health
geducafional program with a num
ber of other organizations partici
,pating under the supervision of
the health department.

Tuesday morning the canvassers
got to work in earnest, and made
a favorable report that night at
'the supper. These suppers have
been held each night since, with the
exception of Saturday and Sunday.
DANCE MARATHON
ENDS IN TRAGEDY
Three Dead As Fire
Sweeps Building,\Driving
Dancers Into Storm.
HAMPDEN, Maine.—(AP)—The
gay and stormy history of Hamp
den’s marathon dancing contest
has ended in tragedy.
Fire, breaking out Sunday night
while a blizzard howled outside
the pavilion and the footsore con
testants rested in their cots, cost
the lives of at least three and
brought injuries to many more.
¥rom the blazing Paradise dance
hall, where they had plodded many
weary weeks amid the applause
and cheers of their supporters, the
thinly clad dancers fled into the
better glea. They forget the prizes
which they struggled as they
plunged knee-deep in snow drifts
piled high by a 30-hour storm.
Pajama clad young men and
women, barefoot and many of
them painfully hurned, milled
about in the driving snow and
near-zero temperature seeking
partners and friends. The charred
bodies of three were found in the
ruins early Monday,
The victims were tentatively
jdentified as: John Ryan of New
York city: Emile Pelletier of Wa
terville, Maine; , and Gertrude
Sowsa of Dracut, Mass.
Many of the survivors suffered
severe frost bites in addition to
their burns.
The origin of the blaze was un
certain, but several of the survi
vors believed the pavilion’s chim
ney had been toppled by the storm

Mail Planes Crash
On Mountain Side
In Raging Blizzard
PORTAGE, Pa.—(AP)—Braving
a raging storm to get the mails
through, two planes of the Trans
continental and Western Air Lines
crashed in the snow-swept Alle
gheny mountains early Monday,
the pilots bailing out safely.
‘Wings encrusted with ice under
a falling temperature, the two
mail ships, neither carrying pas
sengers, lost altitude\so rapidly’
that the pilots had to take to the
parachutes, over the treacherous
mountains during a blizzard.
One pilot, Gene Burford of cé
lumbus, Ohio, reported he was safe
shortly after he went over the
side of his east-bound plane near
Portage.
The other, Harold G. Andrews
of New York, pushing his way
eastward, phoned hours later that
he had reached the ground at
Roaring Springs, in Blair county,
fifty miles from Portage. Neither
ship had been located at that
time.
Stormy conditions had caused
discontinuance of all passenger
flights as early as 4 p. m.
Burfrod took some of the mail
over the side with him and deliv
ered it to the Portage postoffice.
Andrews flashed the word he
was bailing out about 3 a. m., but
it was not until after 6 a. m. that
he reported in from Roaring
Springs,

NEW YORK. —(®)— Frank B.

The former secretary would not

Bustle of Preparation For
Holidays Already Heard
Throughout Mansion.

WASHINGTON—A complete ol¢ -
fashioned Chrigtmas, including
Kris Kringle with -the pack of
gifts, such as the White House has
not seen since the days of another
Roosevelt—the great Theodore—is
now getting under way from cel
lar to attic in the historic man
sion.
Its inspiration and guiding spirit
is the gaiety of President Frank
lin Roosevelt. Both the Chief Ex
ecutive and his wife have confided
that they love Christmas, and that
their wish is. that everybody in
the land could be as happy on that
day as they always have been and
as they will be on December 25,
1933.
Children and young pegple, a
happy father and mother, a proud
grandmother, and a little official
family which is devoted to its
chief—here is the perfect human
material for the construction of a
merry Chrigtmas. ST
The air of excitement which al
ready pervades Sixteen Hundred
Pennsylvania Avenue hints boldly
of plans underfoot. A dozen gift
turkeys have already arrived.
Mrs. Roosevelt, laughing and
hurrying about, has been busy for
weeks, softing and marking and
wrapping her gifts—she buys them
throughout the year, but this year
has found tha; many last minute
trips to the shops were necessary
to remember this dear friend, that
new acquaintance, a child whose
Christmas would have been blank
without the intervention of the
First Lady, a boy whom she has
befriended and placed in a job.

Raymond Henderson, a Negro
preacher, make a brief appeal for
money.

tracted national attention. The
Negroes were charged with at
tacking two white women during a
railroad hobg trip more than two
yvears ago near Scottsboro, Ala.
The cases have been in court since
that time. Recently one 'of the
seven was sentenced to death for
the third time and another for the
second time.

tributed handbills carrying in bold
type *“the Ku Klux Klan rides

be tolerated.” The distribution was
