Two Men Fall Asleep;
Killed as Car Wrecks
————
HAWRINSVILLE, Ga— () —
Apparently having fallen asleep
in their moving automobile, two
Ohio men were killed Saturday as
the car hit a bridge railing near
here.
The men were listed by Fred J.
Clark, local undertaker, as Arthur
Houk of Urbana or Lima, Ohio,
and L. D. Metzger of Lima. Clark
said a motorist whose car was
passed by the Ohio men just be
fore the ecrash told him the men
appedred to be dozing.
Clark said identification was
established through papers in the
pockets of the men, and by a
telephone conversation with
George Ritzler, their employer, in
Detroit, Mich. The men were ad
vance agents for a donkey base
ball ‘entertainment feature, - and
were believed to be on their way
to Miami, Fla. The underiaker
said Ritzler would be here today
to handle funeral arrangements
for the men.

COMMUNITY CENTER
WILL BE FINISHED
State FERA Accepts Le
gion Guarantee and Will
Give Federal Aid
. Completion of the American Le
gion’s Community Center on Lump
kin street was assured yesterday
when the state FERA finally ap
proved an SIBOOO grant for that
purpose. The approval of the FERA
was tentatively made several weeks
ago, subject to this community
raising $12,5600 to match the fed
eral aid.
‘While $3,500 of the $12,500 fund
is yet to be raised, the board of
directors of the American Legion,
Inc., guaranteed to the FERA that
the amount will be ready when it
is needed. A totzl of $9,000 was
raised by an appropriation of $3,-
000 by the city of Athens and pri
vate subscriptions amounting to
$6,000.
D. Weaver Bridges, chairman of
the Legion boarg of directors said
yesterday that the board has not
given up the hope that the county
will make an appropriation to the
fund. However, due to the fact
that the directors have guaranteed
the balance, the FERA will go
ahead with its work of completing
the Center.
The purchasing committee for the
Community Center has already
placed orders for most of the ma
terial which will be required to
complete the swimming pool, pav
illion, and bath-houses and to
landscape the grounds. A modern
filter plant has been ordered which
will be installed for the purpose of
making the pool absolutely sanitary.
- Mr, Bridges also said yesterday
that various means will be employ
ed to raise the balance which the
board has guaranteed. The Le-«
gion raised more than SB,OOO over
a period of several months which
kept the worP going at the recrea
tional center,
. With the FERA having placed its
final approval on completing the
project, the Legionnaires feel as
sured now that they will be able
ito obtain the $3,500 by using a var

“After a consultation with Dr.
Longcope and \Dr. Ecker, we find
the Justice a little weaker than
he was Friday, and in view of his
very advanced age, this is a dis
turbing condition.” 4
Dr. W. T. Longcope, a member
of the Johns Hopknis Medical
school faculty, came here from
Baltimore for the meeting.
It was learned that Holmes is
kept almost constantly under the
oxygen tent. o
