BUNYAN STEPHENS
punvan Stephens, Rome, gover
nor of the 69th district of Rotary,
will pay his official visit to the
Athens club at its luncheon meet
ine Wednesday at 1:30 o'clock at
the Georgian hotel.
Mr. Stephens is well known in
Athens and the occasion of his of
ficial visit means that every Ro
tarian who can possibly do so will
he present.
The following sketch of the dis
trict governor was taken from a
Rotary publication upon his elec
tion to that office:
AS A ROTARIAN-—Bunyon was
2 charter member of the Tallahass
ee Rotary club and its president,
1928-29. He is the immediate past
president of the Rome club and
now chairman of its program com
mittee and a member of the board
of directors
He bhelieves in Rotary-—its ideals,
18 prac 11ses
He senses the dignity and worth
of personality of individual Rotar
jans, and rightly esteemg the value
of the friendships, gradually ex
panding into an international bro
therhood
B on is an able Rotarian who
practices what he preaches.
\S A MAN—Bunyon ig tae sky
pilot of Rotary in Rome. He was
born in an adjoining county and
educated at the public schools of
Atlanta, at Mercer university, and
at Southern Theological Seminary
at Louisville, Ky.
He had gerved wwith distinction
three pastorates in Florida—Kiss
imme, Ocala, Tallahassee, before he
came to Rome in 1929. He is act
ive in the affairs of his denomina
tion in the state and South. He is
now a member of the executive
committee and of the administra
tion committee of the Georgia Bap
tist convention, and while in Flori
da, he was a member of the Gen
eral Hospital commission of the
Southern Baptist convention.
He is active in civig ‘enterprises
and for twenty-five years has given
alert, and efficient 'leadership to
boy scout affairs es his community
and section. He is a good sports
mal As a hunter, he is & modest
gentleman, but as a fisherman—?|
Who was it who said, “All men are
liarg?" 1
The best thing Bunyan ever did,
perhaps, was to marry lovely Helen
McClure of Shelbyville, Ky., in
As Irvin Cobb would say,
He has one wife, and one child.”

Athens Area Pledges Its Support
To Baptist Hospital Campaign Fund
Communities in the Athens area
will raise their quota and more in
the Georgia Baptist Hospital Fund
campaign, representatives of sev
eral counties said here last night
at- a dinner addressed by Wiley
Moore of Atlanta.
Coming here as guest of honor
at the dinner, Mr. Moore, gener
al chbairmian, of the hospital fund
campaign, outlined the work of
the Georgia Baptist Hospital,
pointing to the service it .is ren
dering the poorer communities in
the state.
Abit Nix, chairman for four
counties in the Athens area, pre
sided at the dinner, which was
given by George H. Thornton
chairman for Clarke county.
Attending the meeting, held at
the Georgian hotel, were chairmen
from various counties in this sec
tion, in addition to a large num
ber of Athenians of all religious
denominations.
Serves All Groups
The Georgia Baptist Hospital,
while owed and operated by the
Georgia Baptist Convention, re
ceived patients of all or no relig
jous connection and plays a par
ticularly important part, Mr.
Moore said, in treatment of charity
cases. “The hospital” he said
has not had an operating deficit in
several yvears and the money it
makes, above expenses, is used to
defray the cost of treating charity
patients.” He stressed the import
ance of the hospital to the com
munities in Georgia that are un

Richard Hauptmann's execution

The order, which would have

own,
“It is up to Atlanta, Macon, Au
gusta, Athens, and other cities
similarly situated, who are bene
fitted by the trade which comes to
them from smaller and less fortu
nate places, to provide hospital
faciliies for their neighbors,” Mr.
Moore said. “And the Georgia
Baptist Hospital which, although
owned by the Baptist Convention,
is operated for the benefit of all,
is an institution that deserves uni
versal support.”
Introduced to the meeting hy
Mr. Nix as “Gedrgias’*best known
private citizen,” Mr. Moore told
how he became interested in the
Georgia Baptist Hospital as a re
sult of his election to the execu
tive committee several years ago.
Recently, he was asked to serve as
general chairman of a campaign to
raise $150,000 to build a new an
nex, to provide more facilities,
and to apply some of it to bonded
indebtedness. He is devoting a
two-weeks vacation, the first he
has had from large business inter
ests in some time, to visiting vari
ous communities in the state to
discuss with others plans for the
hospital fund campaign. Mr.
Moore is president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, heads the
Wofford Oil company, and is one
of the most successful business
men in the state.

The governor appointed Wright
as a special assistant attorney gen

!to receive papers in the action chal- i
lenging the constitutionality of the
Bankhead act.
I The cdomplaint was filed by At

’wus instructed by Governor Tal- |
madge to bring the action in the‘
Inzuno of the state of Georgia. The
supreme court reserved decision as
ltn whether it will make a ruling in
the case.
‘ To Save State
| The complaint said the case was
instituted to ‘save the state of
](leurgia from irreparable injury and
}dumagv to its property and to save
|its officers, officials, agents and
jemployes from irreparable injury
|resulting from threatened acts on
(the part of the defendants which

lthe state of Georgia under the con

to prevent the enforcement against
the state of Georgla and its pro-‘
perty, of an unconstitutional act of
congress."”
l The suit sets forth that Georgia
which grows cotton on 100 acres
of land in Baldwin county and 60
acres in Tattnall county has re
fused to sign its compliance with
the “unconstitutional, illegal and
arbitrary rules” set up under the

The Bankhead act, which imposes
a tax of six cents a pound on cot

THOMSON, Ga, — (#) — Con-l
cern over future financial support
for the public school system of,
Georgia was expressed today by
Kyle Alfriend, secretary of the
Georgia Education association.
A speaker on the program of the
10th district convention of the G. E.

’said this wag one of a series of
conferences to be held in each con
;gressional district of the state.
“Educators,” he said, “are much
concerned with the revenue of the
state and of local communities if
the 15-mill tax amendment is rati
fied. Where will the money come
to run our schools? Thig is a
question being asked on all sides.”
Discussing the purposes of thei
conferences, Alfriend said they had
been arranged to “arouse the peo
ple of the gtate to the need for bet
ter schools and for the prompt
payment of the appropriations|

i JThe association is urging a
seven-month school term aid for
by the state, for every child in its
borders, and for a minimum salary

the local community to be allowed
to supplement the seven-month
term of the state.
“It is well known that the Jlast
general assembly passed house bill
No. 511 which gave the state a
seven-month school term. Unfertu
nately, it was vetoed. The prin
ciples of this bill the school offi

it re-enacted and the money found
to pay the bill. '
“The officials of the associatlon‘
hope to make Georgia more school

- ADDIS ABABA--Italian airplanes
roared in bombing and reconnais
sance patrols over northérn and
eastern Ethiopia today and Emper
or Haile Selassie answered the
threat with additional concentra
tions of thousands of infantrymen.
The Ethiopian government an-<
nounced that two Italian planes
bombed Alaji, near Makale, and that |
another had bombed troops con- /
centrating at Makale, 60 miles
south of Aduwa. There were no
casualties, said the communique. «
It was also officially arnnounced
that reconnaissance planes had
flown over the Gota station of the
railroad to Djibouti, between Dired
}awa and Awash.
. Swoop Over Harar
Other Ttalian planes swooped over
lHarar and practically the entire
'populace there, anticipating bomb=
ing, evacuated to the hills or fled
to Diredawa.
The emperor rushed enormous
numbers of warriors to strategie
areas to meet the threatened Italian
onslaught in the north and south.
From official sources came the
information that more than 150,000
fresh’ tribesmen, including « the
ficrcest fighters of the empire, will
