D. WEAVER BRIDGES
TORONTO, Canada.—(Special.)
Members of the National Select
ed Morticians from all over the
United States and Canada Friday,
in convention here, heard an ad
dress by D. Weaver Bridges, pres
ident of McDorman-Bridges com
pany, Inc.,, of Athens, Georgia, on
the “Relationship Between the
Emplover and Employe.”
While one of the younger mem
bers of this organization, member
ship in which is by invitation only,
M Bridges has aroused wide
spread interest throughout the
membership by his work in aiding
degerving vcung men to attend the
Universits of Georgia, oldest
chartered state university in the
United States. The university is
located in Athens, Mr. Bridges’
nome city.
Employer Relations
In his addr Mr. Bridges said
he believes the head of a business
organization should © occupy . the
same relative position .as . the
father of a family n * that he
should strive to uphold the same
close-kinship in every possible
wey, should give his aid. to fur
thering the development and pro
eress, religious, soecial, eivie and
duecaitonal as he would a member
of his own - family and should
show the same consideration, in
sofar as possible, as he would one
of his own., g N
Leaving aside the undoqbted
nd proven benefits to a business
accruing from such a poliey, I feel
that the employer has an even
greater obligation than has the
employe, for his is the directing
agency. The employe is the ‘fol
_l‘r‘-\-'r’ and if the direecting agency
IS not of the type to bring out
the ful] abilities of those he di-
Técls, he has woefully failed.
“To bring to full fruit these
abilities, he must encourage a nat
ural and normal outlook on life.
He must strive to bring out the
800 d points through religious con-
Wcts and activities. . Clivie s work

Great Georgia Team of '29

TWO DANCES SLATED
Many Old Grads Expected
To Enliven Activities
During Week-end
BY F. M. WiLLIAMS
Inspired by a large number of
“old grads,” Georgia's Bulldogs will
attempt to prove their first two
football victories of the 1935 cam-
| paign, scored by overwhelming ma
jorities, were demonstrationg of
their power and not lack of com
petition tomorrow afternoon again
st Furman's Purple Hurricane.
It will be Homecoming Day, with
i many attractions other than the
‘footha!l game, which starts at 3
lo’clock on Sanford field, to inter
:est those who have passed out of
| college life, but who have come
| back to re-live the days when they
iwere happy students.
{ Homecoming dances will be stag
'ed at Woodruff hall tonight and
| tomorrow night. Jack Dale and his
Georgia Bulldog orchestra wil
furnish the music. Other festivi
ties are contemplated by the many
fraternities planning to entertain
iformer students returning for the
{ Georgia-Furman game.
' Tomorrow ig a day that will be
ilong to every living graduate of the
university, but the class of 1929,
and the class of 1932 will come in
for most of the honors.
Members of that great football
team, fondly remembered by Geor
gia supporters as “The Sophomores
of ’29” will be honored just before
game time. The majority of the
team graduated in 1932.
It was just six years ago that
Athenians and ‘Georgia rooters from
all over the world were wonder
ing just what a bunch of green
sophomores could do with a Yale
fcotball team, touted as the best
to represent Ole Eli in years, when
the two teams met here to dedicate
canford stadium.
And tonmtorrow night at 6 o’clock,
it will be just six years hence that
the football world received a stun
ning shock—Georgia had beaten
Yale, 16 to. 0.
All those who took part in that
thrilling victory have been invited
to come back to Athens, as honor
guests of the athletic association,
and it is expected that a majority
of them will be here. Names of
guch Georgia heroes as “Catfish”
Smith, Austie Downs, “Jack-The-
Ripper” Roberts, Joe Boland, “Red”
Leathers, “Red” Maddox, Bobby
Rose, Ted Frisbie and many others
have ‘been permanently inscribed in

beautiful in the south, and one

workmanlike manner in which
this work has been perform

I have also checked the costs
of the work performed to date
and find that the cost thereof
is approximately $6,000 less
than my estimate made with
our original report.
Respectfully,
Wiedeman and Singleton.
Contract for the completion of
the waterworks will be awarded at
a later date.

GENVEVA—A League of Nations
committee today recommended the
embargo on future arms ship
ments to Italy and the lifting of
the present embargo by some
countries against such shipments
to Ethiopia.
The recommendation was made
by the committee of 16, formulated
to decide what sanctions should be
applied to punish Italy for attack
ing Ethiopia.
It made its suggestions shortly
after Baron Pompeo Aloisi and six
other members of the Italian dele
gation had left Geneva for Rome.
The ccmmittee, working rapidly
as a result of 2 vesterday’s over
whelming vote of sanctions against
Italy by the ILeague assembly,
plans to present its suggestions to
the , League's general *staff for
sanctions later today. =
Adoption Expected i
If adopted, as generally expect
ed, the embargo against Italy goes ‘5
into effect tonight. e
~The recommendation for the em=~
bargo against Italy is based on ‘
President Roosevelt's list of “im
plements of war”. ;;
The immediate effect of lifting
the embargo against Ethiopia
would be that Emperor Haile Se
lassie’'s empire will be able to re
ceive in the space of a ‘very few
days all kinds of armaments with
which te carry on her defense
againdt Italy. Lo
The recommendations now must
meet with the apvoroval of the Lea
gue committee Which is made up
of every member of the League
except Italy and Ethiopia. e
By acting today, the committee
