me Christmas project of the
dies den Club, which bids
8 cupy the _spotlight dur
, the holiday season, is attract
the attention and interest of
;‘{}‘.‘v_ Athens.
This club, which is the oldest of
L kind in America, and as such
m forerunner of a large and im
atant national organization, has
bon in oxistence since 1891. Dur
;;‘_ll period it has justified its
sistence by vears of eivic useful
b and cultural influence. This
ot plan for beautifying and
gghtening the city during the
Lliday season is one of its many
atributions to the community.
Athens has always dppeared
ho dreary at Christmas time. For
L sow vears, a Christmas tree at
e intersection of Claryton street
i College avenue gave a note of
bdor to the town, but even this has
ben discontinued, and the city
s o strangely desolate air on
wistmas day. The decorating
bove by the Garden Club will do
buch to give a festive ajr to the
wn. and will afford untold pleas
ke to our citjzens and those of
e surrounding community. The
wrchants are being asked to bring
wir decorations to the front and
clude the exteriors of their
aces of business as well as the
bteriors. The churches are plac
bg wreaths or garlands on their
wre, and every residence, it is
ped, will carry some note of
ristmas cheer at the entrance.
Christmas Project
Not only does the club desire to
ehten up the city, but the
ristmas project is also @ part
{ the conservation program which
s heen stressed from year to
war, It is earnestly desired that
r people will realize the impor
pnce of saving our native holly.
With this in mind, the rules of the
ntest stipulate that no holly is
h e used in ary decoration.
This lovely shrub which has al
mys lent @ bright note of color
hthe winter brown of our Gergia
is fast disappearing,
e Gorden Club hopes to demon
rate the fact that beautiful and
iting Christmas decorations can
e made without the use of the na
e holly. This was doneg last year
y displaying a decorated interior,
will be shown this year in ex
rior decorations. - From time to
e, suggestion for deeorating
ith material other than holly
il be carried in the press.
s, Roby Redwine, president
{ the Ladies Garden Club, an
unces the following rules and
rizes for the Christmas project:
For the most attractively deco
iled entrance to a residence,

Hoffman Denies Pledge to
Fight to Save Hauptmann
l NEW YORK — (#) — The New
York Evening Journal said today
that Governor Herold G. Hoffman
of New Jersey, “has definitely com- |
mitted himself to a vigorous fight
to save the life of Bruno Richard
lHauptmann. convicted slayer of
the Lindbergh baby. J
The Journal quoted “highest
sources for its statement that the
governor has ‘“definitely made up
his mind about Bruno — that he
will seek to snatch him from the
shadow of the electric chair even
in the teeth of a contrary vote by
the board of pardons.
The disclosure, the Journal said,
“threatened one of the greatest
political upkeavals in New Jersey’s
history.” i
Governor Hoffman several days
ago in making public his mid-|
night visit to Hauptmann's deatn
cell in the Trenton state peniten-'

board of pardons he was interest
ed solely in seeing justice done. .

| today in the balance in which the
‘sqpreme court weighs constitution
ality of laws.
' The tribunal set aside time in

‘tion of arguments on AAA, for
oral debate on the Bankhead act.
It has been assailed as invalia
by Lee Mboor, a Texas planter. He
seeks to compel the Texas and New
Orleans railway to transport his
cotton without tags attached to
show he Had complied with the
legislation.
The act is intehded to curtail
| production by imposing a ‘prohibi
tive tax on ginningg in excess of
a quota fixed by the secretary of
agriculture. In this sense it is
compulsory.
Thornton Hardie of ¥l Paso,
Texas and Henry E. Hackney of
Uniontown, Pa., lawyers for Moor,
had prepared arguments that the
legislation was “an invalid delega
tion of power by congress to the
secretary and had no direct rela
tion (o inlerstatle commerce.,
Solicitor General Stanley Reed
was ready to say the measure was
necessary for the ‘general wel
fare” and was a valia tax law.
