PAGE EIGHT THE OMNIBUS A FREE RIDE FOR EVERYBODY Episode At ; A Mezting We're starting off with this par @graph today, because 'we think jts“one of the funniest stories we've heard in a long time. We don’t know whether the folks to whom it happened will ohject, but we think they'll see the thing in the proper spirit. Now for the story: It seems one of the better readers in Athens was reading a modern play—one of the mbre emotional and dramatic ones—toa woman’'s club here. The meeting was held in a public place, where numerous recitals, meetings, and gonferences are also held, In the middle of the reading, at¢ one of the more emotional sequences of dialogue, the reader was working up (very well, tho, we hear) to a irticularly dramatic point, The mmce was sitting spell-bound | by her eloguence, when a mascu lne voice intruded on the seance: “Would it bother you folks if I tolk this pedal off the plang to fix | it?' the piano tuner asked. i Note Of Appreciation . Now for more serious matters. We think it was a mighty nice gesture the Georgia Peace Society made at their meeting Saturday. Migs Jeanette Rankin, flirmer con gregs-woman and internationally known peace worker, who some years ago took up her residence near here, has been a prominent member of the gociety. At pres ent, she ig in Washington working for peace. The following letter was sent her by the group, =zigned by Q;!?h of those present: !“The Georgia Peace Society s at this time attending a iunchebn with Dr. W. P. King as our hon ored guest and speaker. These lines are simply to tell you that w presence is greatly missed. - gincerely wish you could be with us on this oceasion.” Concerning Spoiled i Servants .A, recent reference to the re markable faithfulness of some col ored servants in Athens, and a re mark we came across in a book re eently is responsible for this out burst. The remark was something tpithe effect that after so long a time, a man ceases to own his dbg ~the positions are then reversed. The same holds trae for the lov able Negroes thaf cook for us, wait on us, and otherwise insinu ate themselves into our affections, we think. We know of several cages, and have heard of countless others, in which they have bheen fired constantly, but refuse to pay any attention to the orders, turn ing up for work as ueua! ‘he next day.

Yet- unless your home" is considerably above the average, the chances are -that it is no better lighted than if old-fashioned light sources were employed, At least, that is what lighting experts who have surveyed thou sands of homes .throughout . the country tell us. ‘What. they mean, of ’ course, is that the average home today uses electric light so thoughtlessly and carelessly that the resglts, from the standpoints of eye—cg;nfp,rt and ease of seeing -are: the dame as if the illuminants used by our grandpar ents were still in common use. Adequacy Is First Essential ‘ For example, how often do you read. sew or study with a lighted bare bulb shining directly into your eyes? How often do you write with a shadow obscuring your vision? How often do you squint and strain to see what you are reading? All of these things are harmful te geod CONTINUE APPEAL | OF RED CROSS TO | HELP SUFFERERS | Beginning the second week of its campaign to ralse funds for the relief of stricken victims of the Bowden, Carroll, and Henry coun ty tornado several weeks ago, offi THE BEANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA vision and to bodily * comfort,¥ as well, » The first essential in good home lighting is an abundance of glare less general illumination, prefer ably from a shaded center ceiling fixture or an indirect portable unit. This should be supplemented by in dividual table and floor lamps placed at each furniture grouping in such a manner that every chair has its own light. It is distracting, isn’t it, to have to lean half-way out of your chair to catch some stray light from a lamp placed four or six feet away? Worse than that, it’s very harmful to the eyes.- Remember, too, that the light which may be sufficient for the youngster ‘'may not be: nearly enough for the older person.. That is because as people get older, the pupils of their eyes become smaller in size, admitting less light. - Design of Shades Important Make sure that your lamp shades are deep enough to cover the bulbs, | and have a larger spread at the bottom so that the light may be distributed over a wider area. They should be open at the top, too, in order that some of the light may, come upward and help illu cers of the local Red Cross office expressed their hope that Athen ians would respond liberally to the appeal. . Eighty-three . dollars and fifty ¥ cents were donated during the past week. Red Cross chapters through out the state have been éalled on by National heaaquarters to as sist in the relief of the sufferers. who number over 1500, and the quota sety for \Athens is SSOO. minate the room. The one excep ’tion to this rule is the decorative lamp placed on a low table. Here ‘an open-top shade would expose the bulbs and glare into the eyes of anyone approaching it.. Shades with dark linings are .great light-wasters. Make sure that yours have light-colored linings that diffuse and reflect the light, instead of absorbing and wasting it. At the same time, they must be opaque enough to conceal the outlines of the bulbs. Shades should be cleaned and dusted reg ularly, and the bulbs washed fre quently. Coatings of dust‘ on shades and bulbg may cut down the light output as much as thirty per cent. And, after all, since we are ‘paying for the current, we might as well , get our money’s worth from it. Scientists tell us that the human eye does ‘at least 30% more work today than it did a generation ago, in reading, writing, and various other indoor occupations. Adequate lighting will do much to compen sate for this increased extra drain on the .optical system, and help to conserve its usefulness for the ad vancing years, Over 200 homes were destroyed by the storm, and disaster workers in the territory have reported that the succeeding heavy rains and the epideriic of measgles have re sulted in great human- suffering and danger, Contributions may be brought or seént the Banner-Herald which will turn them over to the Red Cross.

Worse Than War | } Besides this, he said, rats have caused more deaths by spreading disease, than all the wars in his tory. In the 14th century, Bubonie P’lague caxgied by rats killed twen ty-five miflion persons. Quick acy tion by the United States govern ment in 1914 and 1915 prevented a similar disaster in Ngew Orleans, after bubonic plague had taken more than 800 lives. Other dang-. erous diseases are also carried by rats. Community organization and united action are necessary to in sure permanent relief from the pests, Mr. Amann stated, apd without cooperation there is al ways the prospect of re-infestation from adjacent property. When left undisturbed, rats increase with al most unbelievable rapidity, breed ing from six to ten timpes a year and producing an average of ten young to the litter. Two rats un molested will in 3 years time pro duce 3,500,000 descendants. Control of rats, he said, is large ly an individual problem, but rat infestation has a serolus effect on the whole community and an or ganized effort is highly desirable. A man whb allows rats to increase on hig property creates a public nuijsance, but this situation can be eliminated by cooperation and or zanized effort. . : A nominal sum will be charged for the service, it was announced, | SPECIAL HATS Cleaned and Reblocked Factory Fimish ... ... .. ... ’ 350 ' MASTER HAT CLEANERS Announcing SEIBNE RIS UDN R 6 NEW FORD V-§ THE FOLLOWING IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL DELUXE MODELS : 1.
