W. Firor, agricultural economist of the University Col lege of Agriculture. ‘ Mr. Firor also reported that stocks of American cotton at Euro pean ports total only 800,000 bales, or 51 per cent below the stocks last year at this time, This is probably the lowest in many years at this date, g “Obviously,” Mr, Firor com 'mentﬂ, “exports of American cot ton to Europe must very soon in ¢érease or Kuropean mills will be compelled to reduce their takings still further. In 1934 the reduction in European mill takings of Ameri can cotton was made up by in creased takings of foreign growths, Owing to the striking reduction .in the Indian cotton crop “this season, [ this will be more difficult thun ‘it was in 1934 i Mr. Firor says that “reports from Mr. Firor says that “reports from Japan state that the high rate of cotton mill congumption continues; from China mill consumption -is placeq at 60 per cent of capacity, Furthermore, reports from China indicate that the” government ef forts will be directed toward the extension of credit to Chinese cot ton farmers for the purpose of in creasing the production. The ree ductionn of the Indian cotton crop has had the effect of increasing the price of that type of cotton— which inerease continued during the week.” Actual spot sale® last week, Mr. Firor said, at designated spot markets increased sharply over the previous seven days but were con 'sidembl,\’ below the corresponding week of last year.. The effective demand for spot cotton during the Jast seven days has come from do mestic sources, with an increase in buying activities from both south ern and New Englang mills. Am erican mills reported consumption of 547,000 bales in January, more than was used by the mills in Dec ember and January last year, In fact, January mill consumption this year was the largest for any monthi since last March, and the largest for any January since 1930, Inquiries for American cotton forl export were somewhat more num érous last week and wera for ship ment to Great Britain, Italy, Fran ¢e ang Japan. However, actual sales [resulting were reported to have been restricted by the inabili ty to get enough cotton at prevail ing prices and space booked on yvessels carrying, cotton to forelun’l countriés was small. 1 STORK IS BEATEN! ATLANTA —(AP)— A speeding ambulante which made ‘a 13-mile run in 12 minutes won a race with the story early today. It beat the bird across the finish line at St Joseph's infirmary by three 'min utes, : The average American transport plane flies more than 60 per cent farther in one year than the aver age plane of any European nation al system. In 1933 American airlines car ried about 2 per cent of the long haul traffic (trips of over 100 miles) of American railroads. THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA CHILDREN DISCUSSED BY MISS YOUNG HERE Phychologist Speaks Be fore University P.-T. A Study Group at Holman An outline of theé four eommon cha*acteristics of childhoond . caus ing most trouble and the suitable treatments Jfor them were given by Miss Florine Young, psycholo gist for the practice school of the University, Wednesday afternoon when she spoke before the study group of the University P.-T. A. in the parlor of Senior hall on the the Coordinate college campus. “One of the most common characteristics of the child which may cause trouble is his contin ual activity,” Miss Young said. “This iz a perfectly natural char acteristic, but unless handled propeérly often leads to misunder standing and trouble. A place, space, itme and equipment for ac tivity should be provided, as well as opportunities for group play. Very gradual training in . being quiet- can be igven through the .telling qf storieq, handwork and similar methods.” The second topic taken up by Miss Young was the desire for notice. Attention, she pointed out, shoud come to the ihild as a re sult of desirable achievements rather than as a result of illness or undesirable bhehavior. In other words, she said, the child’s hun ger for attention should be satis fied in legitimate ways. The urge to possess or collect was next discussed with Miss Young suggesting that the child own some things in order to learn respect for ownership of others, that the difference between lend ing and giving must be taught, and that the proper procedure in re gard to articles found should be also taught. The last topic discussed was the tendency to lie, the topic he ing taken up ni several divisions: lies of confusions, of fear, of im agination, to gain attention, and the worst form of lie: the malic ious lie, The study gruop will meet with Dr. A. S. Edwards of the Uni versity faculty on February 26, the hour to be announced later. Subjects suggested for discussion are “Adjustment of the Adoles cent” and “Emotional Develop ment and Contrel in Adolescence.” A cordial invitation is extended everfone interested in the discus sion to attend this meeting. Questions will be asked Dr. HKd wrads for discussion. Fifteen attended the meeting Wednesday despite heavy rains. SCHOOLS MAY NOT GET FEDERAL AID (Continued From Page One) completely exhausted. I am ad vised also that the attitude of the governor and the incoming legisla ture toward the prompt enact ment of legislation to secure ade guate school financing will have considerable bearing on the deeisi on to be made as to whether or not the federal government will come to the relief of school teach ers in closed schools or schools about to close.” L ‘ Dr. Collins said he hoped that “no one will consider this as a criticism of the Georgia general assembly. I know that each and every member is a true friend of education.” “Unless we can geét an increase in appropriations for schools for the years 1936 and 1937,” he add ed, “or unless we can get the fed eral authorities to change their regulations, it now seems that no federal aid will be given to Geor gia schools for the spring of 1935. Work of County Consumers Council Is Explained by Chairman Heckman For the past month articles have been appearing in the local paper concerning food prices in .Athens. These articles have been prepared by the consumers council of Clarke county, This council is one of two hundred such local organizations sét up in the United States. Each consisting of a representative cross section of consumers who volun teereq their services. My purpose in ‘writing this is to explain how the local ecouncil ar rived at the figures they have been disturbing recently. The president of the local retail grocers associa tion, a member of the council with the chairman of the council select ed twelve concerns in Athens that would bea fair representative of all retail food concerns. In going to these concerns the specifications as suggested by the bureau of labor statistic§ in "Washington for each commodity were listed according to brand and ‘each two weeks the prices of these articles have been secured. These prices are taken oni Tuesdays in order to avoig special sales figures. Prices are tabulated and the average for each commo dity is then secured. Each merch ant is fm-nisheqa? sheet with the averaged prices: d a copy is sent to the consumers council in Wash ington. ¥ Lo Two weeks following each price survey the figures arrive from Washington of similar studies made in the fifty- one key. cities, and it is on this ‘basis that these studies have gone forth showing the re lative position of Athens with At lanta ard the United States as a whigle. - . : ! ~ Another activity of the council which is being started next week is & survey of canned goods in Ath- An Act Of Thoughtfulness Was The Thing That Gave Life To One Of City’s Best Businesses Opening of Smith’s Ten Cent Store Saturday' Is Instant Success Forty-six years ago a puffing, jolting -little westhound Seaboard train snorted into Elberton * and stopped. ; The traln was erowded to capa cfty and in gne of the straig‘ht-l backed seats was a young man on‘ his way west—to the land of op portunity. He had left the family home in Fayetteville, N. C,, to seek his fortune in the Lone Star state. No very definite plans hag been shaped but he was young and life Jay ahead. i A few minutes after the train had rattled out. of KElberton the young man looked up and noticed an elderly and very tired looking gentleman standing in the aisle, swaying with the lurching of the train. : | He offered the older man his seat anq it was gratefully accepted. Ex change of names followed and soon the passenger in the seat with the elderly man left the train and the North. Carolinian slipped into the vacant seat and continued his con versation with the man he had given his seat. | Hand of Fate Conversation soon developed that both were druggists, one just starting out, the other well estab lished in business, It also came to light the younger man was in search of a job. Impressed with the thoughtful ness of the young man his seat] comrade said, “I run a drug store in Athens. Why don't you get off | there. T'll give you a joh.” l Young people make impulsive ] decisions and the young fellow took up the offer on the spot,.got off at Athéns and some years later was the head of one of the most sub stantial and flourishing businesses in this section. ‘ After a few years with Dr. Tay lor, for that was the name of the older comrade of the train, Mr. Conolly worked with Dr. Lyndcql.‘ Later he and Paul M. Conolly est ablished a business for themselves on Broad street and a few years later Dr. Lyndon sold them his business and retired as the weight of years began to grow too heavy. It reads like an Alger book—but it’s true and that's how Warren J. Smith Drug Store got its start. That same thoughfulness and con sideration became the keynote of his business and today it is one of the prime factors of continued prosperity, though its founder, Warren J. Smith-Conolly passed on to his reward Octobér 15, 1932, - Gradually expanding the business the store now is probably the larg est seller of drugs. seed and heavy chemicals in Athens. With a large local clientele, the store has a still greater volume of trade from the rural sections and small towns nearby. “Homey"” Spirit Though keeping pace with mod ern business conditions, the store heads have succeeded in keeping a “homey” spirit. about the store. Friends do_ their. shopping and leave packages and hundles to be picked up on their way out of town. They are friends of the people who work in the store — good enough friends for first names to be ex changed. And it has paig good dividends, that policy. Saturday marked another ex pansion in the business. It enter ed the ten cent store field. And what an entry it made. From the time the store openeq Saturday morning until the closing hour late Saturday night the aisles were jammed, not with “lookers® but with buyers. The cash registers jingled a merry tune all day long and the large florce hardly had time to catch its breath, At the front of the store were beautiful cut flowers—testimonials of friendship and ceongratulations from Athens merchants, The large ens marked to determine the ex tent to which goods are labeled, ac cording to government grade of A (fancy) B (choice) C (standard.) Similar surveys are being mad throughout the country by other county councils with a purpose of obtaining an amendment to the] canning code whereby all canned goods would be so marked. At the present the consumer is largely at a loss to choose betweer the thous-[ ands of brands of canned goods of- , sered for his purchase. | Proper labeling, according to scientific specifications, laid down by, the government should be in sisted upon, in order that the con sumer may knaw what he is buy ing. Canned products are not the only goods of which this may be said. The council is not interested sole ly in getting for the consumer a maximum of products for a mini mum of nrice. L.ow prices may be brought about -in an unfair man ner, and so be detrimental in the long run to the retailer and to the consumer himself. Much has been done in codes <o eléminate the abundence of “lost leaders” and other practices detrimental to all concerned. 9 The whole work of the consumers council may really be considered educational to the consumer as ta their interests and how to safe guard them. They must be advised as to the comparative standing of consumers in this cotinty and con sumers elsewhere. It behooves every consumer to. become acquainted with what is being done and give their support. ; | H,_ M, HECKMAN, chairman, Clarke County Consumers Council. FOUNDED BUSINESS o G %“% % . P . Forty-six years ago, the late Warren J. Smith-Conolly arrived in Athens and some years later founded the business which grew into one of Athens largest firms. Yesterday marked another expan ¢ion. Read about it in the adjoin ing story. stock was greatly depleted and rush orders went forward Saturday night so that the new store will be able to take care of its full trade again Monday. Every item one can possibly think of is on sale in the store. Saturday it featured a nine cent sale and some of the values offered were marvelous bargains. Splendid Success General Manager Marion Con olly was enthusiastic Saturday night over the success, He told how he became interested several yvears ago in the ten cent store idea. He said he noticed many customers left packages of ten cents store articles in his dqrug store to be called for later on. “Why can't we sell them those things here,” he \asked himself. And the store was as good as started. It took sev ‘eral years to get a lease on the ‘place next door. ) Further time was required to ‘make improvements and lay in a ‘hig stock. Everybody, contractors, ‘warkmen, store employes worked extra hard and extra fast and at last, Friday mnight when quitting time came, everything was ready for the big dqay. It came Saturday cand it was a bigger day than even ' the fondest ‘hopes had pictured. “I want to' epress by apprecia ‘tion to my friends who worked so hard to get the store open on time, lSims Brothers, contractors did the fixtures; Carl Childers had charge of the painting; Tiller Plumbing (company took care of their line; Dozier Lumber company, Moss Manufacturing company and Hugh les Electric company all have my thanks.” Voices Thanks | “I am also deeply grateful to the .personnel of the two stores who lworked so faithfully and so hard getting things ready. I don’t know \how we could have done it with 'uut Misses Eidson, Wright, Grif feth, Herring, Clements. Chandler, Blunt, Lyle, Pledger, Whelchel, lMu.tthews, Mrs. Lester, Mrs. Wil lAliams, Mrs. Morton( Mrs. Biggers, Mrs. Marion Conolly and Miss Edith Conolly and the men, Whr ren J. Conolly, jr.. Ralph Conolly, IV\'urren Downs, Marion W. Conolly, jr., and. Neal Downs.” | “Phroughout this undertaking 1 wanteq to make this store 100 per cent Athens, All labor was done by Athenians. All material was bought in Athens. Xvery possible item of stock was bought in Ath ens. And all the money is going |to stay in Athens and be spent | here.” “Won't you please say to our friends outside of Athens that we deeply appreciate their hundreds of well wishes and trade today ahd hopé they will continue to look on both the old store and our new one as their ‘Athens home’ and express 1o the people of Athens my sincere thanks for their wonderful recep %ion of the new store as evidenced by their visits Saturday and kind words of encouragement,. Those things were the only things needed to make the day a perfect one” GCEORGIA TAX ACT TO BE REVAMPED (Continued From Page One) local talent. Spivey said the amendment was proposed because of reports that many theatrical performances, which would pay the graduated tax of from $25 to 3100, are escaping taxation. The levy on soft drink syrups would be raised from one-half of one per cent to five per cent on gross receipts. The tax on salary' buyers, as proposed by the committee, would be raised from SIOO to $250 under present plans. There has beenl some suggestion that the tax bei even higher. e Auto financing companies would be taxed SI,OOO each. They now pay SIOO. A tax on chain stores, which was written into the 1933 tax act that got caught in the legislative jam and did ont pass, does not ap pear in the present act. A sepa rate bill, now before the senate, would tax such stores.
