The cannery was established through the coopeération of the eounty board of education and the Federal Relief administra tion, and it js expected many persons will take advantage of this chanee to put up vegetables, fruits and berries for the winter. The ecannery is tocated at Win terville in the &hop room of the vocational agricultural building, and is equipped with the latest and most modern equipment used in canning, Mr. Wilson said.- The ca pacity is 1000 cans daily. 'This number, he pointed out, varies however, according to the article canned, sometimes being much higher but enly occasionally being lower. The figure iz a conserva tive one. Athenians as well as citizens in the rural areas of the counties are invited to bring produce for can ning to this plant. The only charge ig for the produce, which should be brought by the person wighing the canning done, the cans and fuel. Cans, Mr. Wilson explained, cost only $4.10 per hundred, and can be secured at the plant if it is not practical to bring them from home. Only a small amount of fuel ig needed, and this may be car ried in an automobile—one or two pieces of cord wood being suffici ent. The plant can aiso furnish this at a low price. Food should be prepared before being taken to the cannery, Mr. Wilson said, although some pro duce should be fixed there. Beans, peas, and similar vegetahles should be broken and strung before taken to the plant. Peaches and some other varieties of fruits are beat prepared immediately before can ning. T% will be possible, Mr. Wil son said, to get someone at Win terville to do this, if it is desired, at a very low cost. No matter how small or how large the quantity to be canned for an individual, there is no cost for the ecanning, which includes cooking, processing and sealing. Persons who do not care to buy cans, can have them furnished on a share hasis. The wvalue of canning is great, Mr. Wilson said, as it assures a supply of vegetables and fruits during the winter. Tt is possible he pointed out, to get fruits can ned in season and then, in winter, make jelly from them, which will be agreeable to the house-wife who doesn’'t like to spend hot sum mer days in a hot kitchen. For further information regard-’ ing this project, the public is in vited to visit the cannery or. com municate with Mr. Wilson who lives at 205 Oglethorpe Terrace, phone mumber 1108-W.

Two of the dead were charged with plotting with a “foreign power” to end the Hitler regime. They were: Kurit Von Schleicher, former chancellor who wanted to restore the monarchy. He was killed with Frau Von Schleicher when they resisted arrest at their country home near Babelsberg, outside Berlin. Captain Ernst Roehm, the com mander of the storm troops, for yvear’s Hitler's close friend. He was arrested, deposed, accused of immoral practices that brought shame to the Nazi movement. He committed suicide. There was no further statement on the “foreign power.” Representations came to the German foreign office from at least one foreign embassy, asking that the “conspiring” power be named so that other embassies in Berlin might no longer be under suspic on.

In New York with Paul Harrison NEW YORK=—In the writing trade hers is ap unwritten axiom to the effect that nothing succeeds like a success story. It isn't con sidered news when railur2 bites a man. But I believe the case of Hal Skelly is a little different. 82~ cause Mr, Skelly, in addition to be ing one of the best actors of a generation, probably was the un luckizst actor of all time. You couldn’t call him a failure, exact ly, for he had a full life, and his hours of triumph on the Broadway that .he loved And certainly he would have been the last person to admit that fate had treated him shabbily. ; Yet for 28 years, from the time he was 15 and ran away from his lowa home to join a circus, his career was strangely shadowed by violence and misfortune. As a rouster, he was nearly Kkilled by a bad elephant. Then he became an acrobatic clown and one night tried to vault from a springboard over four elephants. In a few weeks he was out of the hospital and out of the circus, Next he joined a drunken medicine show operator and did all the work. He played professional baseball with the Boston Braves, but couldn’'t keep up the pace. He managed a prize fighter until one evening a scheduled opponent fail ed to show up and Skelly appeared in the ring. He accidentally knock ed down his own protege, who thereupon rose up and practically murdered his manager. Next Skelly went into light opeva and stock companies. Hf wag beginning to do very well when the war cam= along, He quit and took up avia tion. » - After the war he tried scores of roles and always playved them com ‘patently, but the plays themselves were unsuccessful. In 1927, when he opened as Skid in “Burlesque,” it seemed that at last he had ar rived. The show was a hit and critics cheered his genius through the Broadway engagement, the road tour and the movie version. Yet nobody pursusd him with fat contracts, and pretty soon he was out of a job, nionths later he starred in “Melody” and again was acclainfjed. But his reward was another period of idleness. This last season he appeared in two plays. Critics turned hand-springs for Skelly, but the shows soon closed. Some time ago he cracked up in his airplane and narrowly es caped death. A few evenings ago his car skidded into the path of a train, It was his last stroke of bad luck. | Irony of Fate | The rialto tells another tale of ill fortune—this one about a girl. She came out of a middle-western city about five years ago, came With beauty and youth, talent and lambition. Within a season she had become understudy for a cele brated star, and several managers made mental note that they’d have to be on the lookout for a play for her. A call came the next autumn, IShe spent an afternoon in a chilly theater, read some tines, and was promised the part. A few days Jater she had pneumonia, and the show was cast without her. Re g¢overed from her iliness, but wast ed by it, she went back to under ‘study roles. ~ She met and loved a young man, also of the theater, Arrange .ments were made for a wedding at her home out in Missouri, and on the eve of their departure a producer wrote to her, offering the second-best role in a new comedy. She declined stoutly be cause they’'d been planning for months on \an Hawaiian honey moon. When they came back she took another job as an under study. ' Within a year a child was born to them—and the father died two weeks later in a traffic accident. Now the girl simply bhad to go to work; she was in debt and her parents had lost everything in a bank crash. Sorrowfully she gave up her baby for adoption, renounc ing all claim to it, and became the understudy of a star. After a couple of years, fairly reconciled, she began to dream again of starring in her own right. One day a producing office called. Could she come in that afternoon 'and read a part? She tumbled into the subway, eager, almost happy iagain. Across the isle sat a wom an with a 2-year-old child. The world spun dizzily. The actress knew that the child was her own. She went on to the tryout. but was so upset that she fumbled the A —AND MEN, TOO, e ? : ARE FINDING OUT THESE FACTS: o =y ESAA X g WHITE DRY CLEANERS render prompt and efficient A »'" i service. . 7 \ WHITE DRY CLEANERS have experienced cleaners, !

TALMADGE (Continued From Page One) view by a board composed of the governor, the comptroller general, and the commissioner of agricul ture, A Not Equal Division The appropriation for the de partment of agriculture for the year is $46,959.58. In his quarterly budget Mr. Adams asked for $32,- 353.12, To this the governor re plied: “Of course you recognize the fact that the appropriation for the department of agriculture has to care for the expenses of the department for the balance of the year and is also to pay all out standing indebtedness. The budget as originally submitted by you would leave only $14,606.46 for the operation of the department of agriculture for the last quarter. I think the wiser course is to divide the amounts for both quarters more equitably.” Although the governor admit ted the commissioner had the au thority to dismiss the state chem ist, he said that “at this time of year in the midst of the season of running samples it is not best to change chemists and helpers without specific cause.” Some Approved The governor approved the dis missal several weeks ago of Jule Greer as director of the bureau of markets, and the appointment in his place of H. L. Truitt at a salary of $l5O per month. He disapproved the addition of J. J. Green, L. BE. Parker, Elcoe ‘Huff, Brady Terhune, Sam Mc- Intosh and Mrs. Rosa Neeson to the staff of the bureau of mafrkets on the ground that “the appropria tion for the department of agricul ture will not allow it.” This was also gvien as the gov ernor’s reason for not approving the addition of J. J. Cooper to the staff of the food and drug division. The governor refused to ap prove the increase in the salary of Eugene Milner, veterinary div ision clerk, .from S3OO to $375 per quarter, and approved the increase in the salary of George D. New ton, sanitary engineer, from $375 to $412.50 per quarter “in view of the fact that it requires trained men for this work and in view of the importance of the work in shipping oysters and fish beyond the borders of Georgia.” An in crease in the salary of Miss Anne K. Browning was not approved. The governor approved the com missioner's elimination of M. O. Campbell as cashier "of the de partment of agriculture.
