If vou think that you have the mumps don’t come to school by all means and stay away from as many people as possible until a doctor says whethér you have them or not.

BETTY FITCH. l A Poem f The Dutch are very clean andl neat, They wash their clothes and keep‘ them sweet, . 1 They have eows all blaeck and white, - ) Dirk likes to drive them home at night. ; Ay . Holland is where the tulips grow, I They look so pretty in many rows, ‘ The windmills turn all day and THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL INTERVIEWS ‘Juniors at Athens High have just completed a journalism course under -Misg Ruby An derson. As part of the course the students interviewed wvari ous Athenians. The Banner- Herald today presentg the first of the series of interviews. It was written by Gail Hutchin son, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. George Hutchinson, and is en titled “Recreational Facilities for the Youth of Athens” It follows: : l Realizing the need for recrea 'tlonul facilities for the young peo ple of Athens, 1 secured an inter !view with Dr. Geo. A. Hutechinson, ‘head of the department of sociolo gy at the University of Georgia, as his subject dealg with social needs and suggests solutions to such problens. ¥ In opening, Dr. Hutchinson ex plained that by recreational activi tieg for young people he meant any thing which they took part in for pleasure. He said that these ac tivities are divided into two groups: Those the young people devise for themselves and those provided by adults. There are two types ofl provisions which may be made b)" aduts: Those publicly provided for‘ and those privately provided f(nj.fi The latter, in turn, consistg of those with commercial purposes and those without any motive of profit. To my question, “What has Ath ens, as a city, done to promote the recreation of its youth?” he replied, “Very little. It ig only in connec tion with the schools that any pro vision has been made and there only very, limited opportunities are‘ offered.” ¢ . Dr. Hutchinson reveaed that a large number of cities the size of‘ Athens, perhaps more than a ma-{ jority,] have provided parks and public playgrounds, and consldera,-} ble number have playground sup-. ervisors. He also said that about} the only private recreational activ ities of the commercial type in’l Atheng are the moving picture] shows. I “How do these compare with the movies of other cities this size?” 1 asked. “In general the picture shows of Athens rank quite high. It is a bit unfortunate, however, that in putting on programs supposed to appeal primarily to chidren they have too often added some features which either did not appeal to the child at al] or some feature which made an undesirable appeal.” “Are other commercialized activ ities provided for in other cities?” “Yes, such as swimming pools and parks with playground equip ment to which an admission price is charged.” % He said that the non-commercial activities of Athens are the Y.M. C.A., the YWiCA., the FH=¥ club, the Boy Scouts, and various church activity programs. . In answer to my question of these compare with those in other cities this size, he said. “The Y. M. C. A. compares favorably, the Boy Scouts organization is given very little support, and the Y. W. C. A. offers very limited facilities to t' girls. In both publicly and pri vatcly controlled activities, those for girls are much below the aver age for cities the size of Athens.” When [ asked now the recrea tional activities orgarized by the children themselves compare with thosd of other cities, he replied that spread out as Athens is, with numerous open spaces and with its mild climate making out-door play possible throughout practically the whole year, these activities un doubtedly compare quite favorably with any city the size of Athens and are pronouncedly superior to those in which the e¢ity ig more densely built or in which there is Jess agreeable climate, “Does this type of recreational activity take the place of organized recreation?” I asked. “Distinctly not! Such activities have value, undoubtedly, but they also have dangers and sometimes the dangers more than offset the values.” “What methods would you sug gest for improving the recreational facilities here?” “First of all, start a movement to night. b All over Holland, a pretty sight. The Dutech export lots of cheese, They make it so nice, it is sure to please. They wear funny . wooden shoes, Ang baggy clothes of many hues. Dikes are used to protect the land, To strengthen them, are big dunes of sand. Canals are used the land to drain, Because Holland is such(a low plain. The Dutch would very friendly be, If youlll visit them across the sea. : "By Bonnie Bennett. Fifth Grade Friday the fifth grades had a nice visit to the Cord mill. It was such an interesting sight to see how the bale of cotton goes through the different pieces of machinery. It woulg be hard to.tell which part} | is most interesting, but most of us. ' think the part where the thread ‘had gone threugh the twisters :md“ to the looms and was being woven into black bands. We watched the shuttles go back and forth in the looms to make the bands. Mr. Old ham was so nice to show us through the mill, We brought back some pieces of rope which they make out there. Some of our mothers are i making spreads of the thread from lthls mill. Some of the boys mr, room are- making log houses e Ithe girls are aressing dolls in old fashioned clothes. . .+ . educate the people so the need of more and_better organized recre ational facilities.. . This should be followed by an organized campaign to arouse public sentiment in favor of securing the needed faclities.” Oconee Street School First Grade We made some pretty Valentines this. week. Thursday we had a Valentine box, Frankie Cash, Har old Pratcher, and T. G. Strickland were theé postmen and delivéred the “mail” to us.
