Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO Changeof Moon Has Its Effect On Judge. Vince Matthews Court Acting Chief of Police Fred Sea graves says it was caused by a change in the moon. People are affected by a change fn the moon and the change is usually reflect ed in the increase of names on the police docket. *But whether it was a change of the moon, hoy weamer, oy Just plain orneriness, Judge Vincent Matthews of police court was faced by more offenders last night than usual. Many of them were there for being drunk, some of them re peaters, who can't resist iy when they have a little change, and the opportunity to buy a few drinks presents itself. | ‘One man, a young fellow, ad- | mitted to the judge tiht he was | drunk in ‘an automobile’ on the| highway last Saturday and was ar .rested and brought Into court yes- ! terday by the police. He said he realized he was drunk and was - making it for home and drove to the side of the road to sober up al little. This report of what he toid' the judge may be slightly incor rect, but from where the reporter sat near the window, that's how his story sounded. He revealed to the judge that he has a wife and five children and the judge told him he should have thought about that before he toox the drink that landed him in recorder's court, H= was fined $50.00 or sixty days in " the stockade. The judge has more . than once declared he intends tol crack down on every person hrought into his court for driving| an automobile while drunk, or for, reckless driving. Thig fine and sentence may have been changed later or after the jnage had more time to study the background of the case. This is his custom. In - many instances, he eays, the ori ginal sentence he passes is stiftet: - than his final judgment dictates. | This is so bßecause the seriousness | of the offense to society, or its potential seriousness, tmpels him to make the offender feel it by handing down a harsh sentence “ which under reflection may he modified with the view of giving! ~ the offender, especially a first of fender, a break. ~_ Some of the offenders came in groups. They were mostly Negroes ‘with a majority residents, or re-l - miding near a certain street prin ~ eipally occupied by Negroes which is gﬁing a bad name. Apparent ly they have become accustomed to gathering in houses on this' street on week-ends for a happy| time, getting drunk and ending with quarrels and fights landing in police court on Monday evening. Their stories were told in almost unintellighle terms, In some in stances the rows were caused by persons who have a record of bad doings, while in other cases hard working persons found themselves embroiled in a fracas because they aqugat a little fun and took too much. The first man to step before the desk of the chief, who acts as elerk of the recorder’'s court, is a - white man who Jjust can’t let it _alone. He Is a hard working man, %ﬂ is said, but periodicaly he gets drunk and somehow gets himself %ﬂ\e_ hands of the police who him into court. The judge !ggd him $5.75. He was followed by another white man who has be come such a frequenter of police' court for drunkness that the judge, finally, in desperation, prescribed' a heavy dose of eastor oil for him along with confireinent in the city stockade. Fines and stockade sen tences both having become ineffec tive, the judge resorted to the’ ~ castor oil method which the man | admitted yesterday helped some, but apparently not enough. So he was again sentenced to the stock ade with another huge dose of castor oil awaiting him on arrival - there, Pretty soon, perhaps, the castor oil method will find its way | %o the Associated Press wires and -the judge will be set dowp as some ~sort of crank, which w& not be 'g: truth, of course, but just ano ther instance of how a perfectly human judge’s resort to a some what homely effort to stop a man from playing the fool, has become - distorted. Once upon a time school | teachers used lye soap to wash out the mouths of profane stu dents and it aften proved a won derful deterrent. Maybhe the cas ~tor ofl method will work, . One case was that of a Négro boy who works for a very promin ent family and the outecome of the settlement of this case presented 2 splendid example of how a hot courtroom, the necessity of pass ing judgment rapidly, a judge's ef fort to put an end to irresponsi ble, oy careless, persons driving automobiles and an employer with a feeling that an injustice had been wrought by the court seemed for a time to end in causing a youth ful Negro to pay a $25.00 fine which might, upon refiection, have | been reduced to at least 310.75,| The young Negro, with the college | boy spirit, had driven what, ac- | cording to his verston, must have been a ramshackle automohilei down a residential street without lights. When he realizeq the‘ lights were out, he said and also heard the chug-chug of a police- | man's motoreycle, he got out of thpl car and ran. The policeman said he left the motor running, but the‘ Negro sald he pulled qut the switch : key before he ran. He said he‘ ran because he was scared and ‘didn’t know what eyse to do. ' ' The judge fined him $25.00 of a stockade sentence, saying as he did so that he means to stop such offenses. and passed on to ano ‘ther case. The employer came in g after court was over and ‘asked the judge what was the fine. ‘when told the amount protested to ‘what he called the injustice of such a fine, The protest was made Newspaper Poll May Decide Name of Athens-Augusta Roue COMMITTEE WILL MEET IN ATHENS Date of Motorcade Will Probably Be Last of Sep tember | A popular referendum, in which persons residing along the Atlanta | Athens-Augusta highway will be ]im-nod to take part may decide !tho contraversy over naming that ll‘nutc. Luther W. Nelson, presi dent of the asociation promoting a ‘motm‘cade over the highway told thé Banner-Herald yesterday ~ Mr. Nelson said that so much in terest has been shown In naming ‘the highway, one group compris ing a large number of persons, urging that it be named for Will iam H. Crawford, a Georgian who attained pational fame and almost reached the presidency in the early days of the republic and another large group advocating the name of Thomas E. Watson as appro priate for the route, while another tact{on urges that it be named for Bobby Janes, that the executive committee may resort to a news paper poll to name the route. Mr. Nelson, who was elected president of the association pro moting the motorcade at a meeting held in Athens some time ago, announced yesterday that a sub committee comprising Alex Me- Neill, motorcade manager of the Atlanta Journal, Pembroke Pope, Washington, and Mr. Nelson him self, will be held in Atheng within the next few days at which time the date for the motorcade proba bly will be set. The name for the route may be announced on the day the motorcade is held. The Atlanta Journal is sponsor ing the motorcade and along with ‘other newspapers is giving wide publicity to the event. Twenty cars ‘wll] be entered from =~Athens , if lplang of the committee are success ful. The stretch of the paving be tween Athens and Augusta will be completed by the jatter part of August, Mr. Nelson said, and the motoreade will he held possibly the last week in September. The last stretch of the highway yet to be paved is five miles between Thomson and Little River, on the Augusta end of the highway. Mr. Nelson recently appointed geveral additlonal members to the executive committee. The new j.memberﬂ are, R. L. Russell and IE. \C. Hawes, Thomson; Senator 'Hamilton McWhorter; Lexington; 7. Frank Carewell, Augusta; C. J. Haden, Atlanta; J. J. Zachry, E. D. Clery and Lamar Milford, Har lem. Mr. Nelson, who is alse-vice president of the Macon-Athens ‘motorcade asgociation said yester day the route to Macon probably will be completed in time for a mo torcade in October. The Gray- Batonton stretch of the highway will be completed within a few days, he said. When the Macon and Augusta highways are com pleted Athens will be the hub of seven important highways, he said, affecting materially the trade here as well as atttracting hundreds of new tourists through here every geason. 1 ) pefore several persons in the court and the judge, possibly knowing by experience thag the disciplinary effect of his court would be endan gered by thus reducing th fine as the resuly of such a protest de fended the responsibility of the court. The employer wrote out & check for $25.00 and handed it to the clefk of court and the Negro left owing his employer $25.00 which he will have to work out. What this employer did not stop to realize and he cannot be blam ed, is that the judge has a res ponsibility, a duty to protect soc jety and that often stiff sentences are modified upon a review of the case. Aftey the judge left, the re porter told the angry employer that: no doubt the case could be reviewed and the fine reduced more in keeping with the back ground of the offender which must always be considered in police court. The employer left however, avowing that he did not intend to take #t up with the judge again. But in all probability the case will be reviewed, possibly upon the ini tiative of the judge whose atten tion was latep callea to the little human incident and who, while sternly determined to hold in check persons who eause public damage or woe through irresponslbls or careless actions, at the same time has been sitting in police court too long not to know that re-adjust ment of first sentences must often be made, but made fn such a way as te preserve the effectiveness of the court. In another case, one of the group kind, a Negro offender, a habitual one it is said, was bound over to a higher coury and a medical exa mination was ordered by the judge. ‘The court was told the mar¥ has a }venereal disease. A young Negro ‘girl. a servant in some Athens ' home, was involved in this case. |She was fired, but later on the judge suspensed sentence when it was determined that she had been trying to keep the men out of her Fouse, It seems that many offend ers with wveneral disease find their way into court. Chief Seagraves ‘says fully ninety per cent of per 'sons who are habitual offenders ‘against the law are sick in some way op another and many of these have one of the so-called social diseases, _ THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS TODAY j (Continwued from page one.) 3 L Ababad quintuplets whose birth on the night of last May 28 drew the gym pathetic eyes of the world to Cor- | beil. And the precious freighy that is coming to Callander is a gallon of natural mothers’ milk, shipped in special containers from hospitals in Chicago, Toronto, and Montreal World Sends Gifts When he has received the con tainers, Dionne drives back over the rough and rocky road to Cor beil, two and a half miles, to fina the day in full swing for his fivol tiny daughters, Here, in what had been a plain frame four-room cottage on the edge of the wooded wilderness, is a veritable children’s hospital, created overnight by the kindly in terest of neighbors, the Red Cross, the Canadian government, and the gifts and encouragement of a world that had seen a wonder and wanted to help the somewhat be wildered and simple people through whom it came. From dawn to dusk, and often for into the night, hard-working nurses and concerned doctors bus tle about. Dr. A. R. Dafoe, the “old-fashioned country doctor” whose skill, devotion and practi cal wisdom broughty the -quintup lets safely through the unlikely chance of their birth, has already been here. He will be back again at eve ning. Twice each day he comes to attend the tiny girl-children whose gurvival is a modern miracle. Each One in ﬁneubatoj_- : The babies lle in a spare room off the kitchen, each in her wood en, glass-covered sndividual incu bator, HEvery morning at elghil they are taken from the incubators and given an oil bath, the oil gently swabbed on skin that is too tender to stand soap and water, The beds in the incubators are given a complete change. Every three hours the babies are fed with a dropper equipped with a rubber nipple on the end. The nurses gently force the feeding.if the babies do not take the pre scribed amount of warm mothers’ milk which consitutes their ration every 4 hours. The droppers are like an eye-dropper, but with a barrel about the size of a banana. Mostly, the quintuplets sleep, For 16 or 17 hours of the 4, they gimply sleep. Even now, after more than two months of life, they are smaller than any new- | born babe. Their premature birth,i earlier than normal by nearly two months, started them out under a tremendous handicap which they are only now overcoming. It is this long sleep between feedings that is giving them the chance to build up toward the sought-for normal, : Identical in Looks They all look alike. Not" only are they identical twins, but ne one here knows which was the oldest. In the confusion attending their birth, the babies were not marked in order of their delivery, and no one will ever know, probably, which is the oldest. Already, however, they have de veloped individual characteristics, land the nurses say they can tell by the way they react to the oil lswabs during their daily Dbaths, ‘whether it is Yvonme or Cecile that is being bathed. Yvonne is the plumpest; Cecile is the most vigorous, and stretches most; Mar ie has a tumerous growth on one leg that is noy regarded as serious and will be treated later. Everything about the little rough-plastered room shows the influence of Ihodern science and invention. No money has been spared to give thess babies a bet ter-than-usual chance to live and thrive. A small modern refrigerator stands in one corner to preserve ‘the precious mothers’ milk which ‘has kept them alive. The weigh ‘ing scales are the most modern and accurate obtainable, for those lslight gains of ounces and half ounces are what tell the story of {a victory of science, and skill, and devotion over death. : | e et l All Hospital Needs There Here is a maze of modern hos pital applianccs, some as which have been useful, some of which are held against any unforeseen eventuality, There is an oxygen tank which was used shortly after the babies’ birth, when Dr. Dafoe despaired for a momenr of ther lives. v The hospital “air” -extends to every person who enters the bab ies' room. Nurses, doctor, visitors, even the mother and father, must don sterile cotton smocks and reg ulation surgical protective masks before entering the “ward.” Every thing is spotlessly clean. Outside the “ward,” the kitchen has been commandeered as a work shop for the nurses. A room across the hall is occupied by the mothoer. who has apparently regained nor-{ mal health after several terrifying relapses, and today goes about hers aisual household tasks. The bur-| den of caring or the famous babies | largely has been lifted from the parents by -the valunteer servicesl of neighbors and well-wishers all over North America, by the Cana-l diap Red Cross and by the Cana dian government itself. l Red Cross Pays Bills The Red Cross has assumed the cost of food, medical attention and clothing for at least two years— onger if necessary. The Ontariol provincial government has named four offieial guardians for the tiny girls for two years—lifting from the father the burden of business proposals and arrangements— that i 8 e One Hundred and Eight Guests Enjoy Day at Home of Mrs. Lester OCONEE HEIGHTS.—The Mec- Donald family of Georgia were guests at a reunion Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tol Lester. One hundred and eight members were present. Among them were Mrs. A. G. Wade, Atlanta; Mr. and Mrs. Wesley McDonald, Win der; Mrs. C. V. Wilson, Mays ville; Mrs. C. H. Failey, Com merce; Mr. Paul McDonald, Bu ford; Mr. T. W. McDonald of Qakwood. The McDonald family is charac terized by a strong affection, and the friendly exchanges of the oc casion was exhilarating. Just before the serving of the barbecue dinner, Mr. Paul Mc- Donald read the Sunday school lesson and Mr. T. W. McDonald gave a beautiful prayer. Every moment was filled with a good-will spirit and the string orchestra, consisting of Messrs. Dodd of Jefferson, Charlie Mc- Donald of Jefferson, and Guy Mec- Donald, made the day a perfect one. : Mrs. Lester was formerly Miss Ada McDonald of Jackson county, being of historical descent on both gides of her family. Her father was the late J. W. McDonald and her mother Miss Dora Alice Lyle. Mrs. Lester’s efficient director ghip of her eleven sons and five daughters is admirable. She and Mr. Lester are pleasant pals for each member of the family, real izing that each has individual in terests. N She sews, cooks, cans, visits, is an active club worker and re sponds to outside environment where good is concerned, being an ardent believer in “making the world safe.” have flooded the cottage, : The Red Cross even plansg to build a small hospital structure near the Dionne home, fully eduip ped with the most modernechild ren's hospital equipment and its own power plant to provide heat and light, neither of which is ava ilable in the present Dionne home.

A sixth child died. Guardians Appointed The appointment of guardians for the quintuplets was a step taken by the government to re lieve Dionne from business nego tiations to which he was, not ac ‘customed, ‘and to prevent any con tracts providing public _appear ‘ances or other demands on the '“«babies that might have endanger ed their sarety. Brm'_q_h common law set& up a principle that the king is nomi. nally the father of all his sub- Jects and that therefore his rep resentatives ean step in to safe guard in a fatherly capacity the interests of any subject which ‘might be threatened. Thus, Fath er Dionne consenting, the provin cial attorney-general named sou;; official guardians with full respon sibility for the babies and full gu thority to negotiate for them. This step took from Dionne's shoulders the horde of promoters and propo sals that flooded down upon him. . The four official guardians are: ‘Oliver Dionne, father of Oliver and grandfather of the quintuplets, Dr. Dafoe, whe brought them into the world, Kenneth Morrison, a Callander merchant who has known Dionnes all his life, and W, H. Alderson, a . Red Cross official from North Bay. “People Are So Nice” i The family is being well cared for. Gifts pour in from all parts of the United States and Canada. Through special permission of the Canadian government, gifts from ’-the United States are being allow 'ed to enter duty free. « Scientists, doctors, sympathetic folk grrat and small, have all con tributed to make this bustling place one of the happiest households in the world. . The Dionnes, skyrocketed over night from obscurity and poverty to fame and plenty, are beginning to emerge from their first bewil: derment into a typical French {anadain indifference to notoriety. And Mrs. Dionne can now smite sweetly and say in quaint broken English, of which she speaks very little: “People are so nice!” (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.)

It was an administrator's sale of the property of Miss Col bert. Several chairs and tables, and beds of the late Victorian period were sold by Sheriff Jackson to the highest bidder. Considerable merriment was caused the friends of Mrs. David W. Meadow and Mrs. A. S. Rowland, sisters of Miss Colbert, when they xrised each other’'s bid repeatedly for a handsome mahogany ' table which finally was sold to Mrs.. Meadow for S3O. Another race of bidding was on when Mrs. L. C. Trousdale and Mrs. Thomas Hubbard McHatton raised each other, sometimes five cents and again ten cents, then with jumps to fifty cents for a collection of straight chairs and rockers, all walnut and of the sanie period as the table. Mrs. Trousdale finally won out in the endurance contest by taking the chairs at something like $4 each and the rockers for $10.50 and SB, respectviely. In buying the second of the two rockers Mi%. Trousdale was without a 'competitor. == One small piece of furniture, a County Board of Education Elects Teacher, Holly Heights Trustee; New School Buses to Be All-Steel The appointment of Misg Lessie Bell Peeler, Athens, as teacher of Home Economics teacher -at the Winterville schools for the 1934- 35 term was approved by the County Board of Education, meet ing in the court house this morn ing. ; Miss Peeler will gucceed Miss Ernestine Head, who was re-eect ed, but resigned to take over the dutizs as County Home Demon stration Agent in Putnam county. The newly-elected teacher has had three years experience, hav ing been on the” faculty of the Madison County High school in Danielsville since 1931. She is a graduate of the Athens High g¢chool and the Ceorgia State Teachers College, now the Coordi nate college. The appointment of Misg Peeler to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Head's resignation, was recom mended by the trustees of the Winterville schol, and turned over to the Board of Education for ap praval. ' Elect Trustees A. F. Pledger was appointed as a trustee for the Holy Heights school for a three-year term by the board this morning. Mr. Pledger will succeed Rupert A. Brown, whose commission expired at the end of the school term, and who moved out of the district, .and was not eligible for re-election. Mr. Pledger has been a resident of the Holly Heights community for gseveral years, and is well known. He is one of the most ac tive citizens of the district, and his appointment is exfiected to ad@ much to the interest taken in the school. He is an ewiploye of the Moss Manufacturing company hére, and has many friends in Athens. Rev. W.

Bids may be made on one or more of the projects and bonds ;to one-half the amount of the lcost of the project bid on must be [posted for execution of the con ‘tract when and if the bidder is : successful. A further provision is that a certified check of ten percent of ‘the_bid shall accompany each bid. The sealed bids, accompanied by ‘the checks, must be deposited with City Clerk James Barrow on or before noon, eastern standard time, August 15. Description of the streets or portions of streets to be paved follows: | Childs street from Prince ave nue to Barrow street; Dußose avenue from Grady avenue to Lyndon avenue; King avenue from Cobb street for a distance of 2,100 feet south; Springdale street from Milledge avenue to Bloomfield street; Hall street from B|oomﬂeldl street 'to Church street: Bloomfield street from Baxter street to| Lumpkin street; Milledge Terrace from Miledge avenue to Carlton‘ Drive; Milledge Heights from\ Milledge avenue to Carlton Drive:i Hampton Court from Milledge avenue to Pinecrest Drive; Uni-i versity Drive from Pinecrest Drive| to Ag.

Considerable amusement was caused at one time ‘'when Mrs. Meadow, as usual engaged in a contest with her sister for a par ticular piece of furniture, raised the ante on herself and was checked by her son, Will King Meadow of Atlanta, attorney, who was here to close out the estate of his aunt. Of interest to Athenians and cit izens of Clarke county who are proud of the high rating given Clarke county bonds was the sale of a Clarke county bond bearing 5 percent interest for slls, whereas a Dade county bond, bearing 6 percent interest was sold for $lO5, irdicating that Clarke county bonds arc still rated among the highest of any other governmental bonds in the United States. It is possible that the Clarke bonds today estab lished a record for the country. Both were former property of Miss Colbert. Several shares of Power company and Coca-Cola company stock were among the property of Miss Colbert sold.

Today, Joel A. Wier, secretary of hte Chambey of Commerce, receiv ed a letter from three families of Natural Bridge, Va., asking for in 4ormation concerning the living conditions in Athens, statig that they wished ta find a suitable place to live in the South. Their main interests were in the climate, the pasturage, markets fop milk and other farm - products. They requested that they be sent full particulars eoncerning these the othep conditions here. Dean Faul Chapman of the Col lege of Agriculture said recently that hte eyes of ‘the country were on the South. This statement is apparently verified by the shipping of cattle here from the droughl aread and the receipt of letters of this type. ‘ TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, Iy, w\r MARKET TURNS oy ET TURNS hug AFTER BRIEF pyy Stock Markets Ry Inf Fresh Selling and T, Sluggish !
