GAINESVILLE, Ga.— (® —Un-|

have found that on occasion a pipe|
organ may keep company with a
coal shovel.
Finding of the two together end
ed a hunt by the freshmen andl
uniors for the traditional sjenior
class spade, hidden by the graduat-l

The spade hunt, instituted ' only
this team ‘as a tradition, began
when three” “secret” members of
the senior clasg hid the ordinary
shovel, used for many years in his
toric ceremonies and tree plant-

Given until December 7 to find
the implement, or entertain the
seniors, the searchers found the
shovel behind the pipe organ in the

seniors must play the hosts at a

Congressman Declares Tal

Mis-Statement”
CAMILLA, Ga. — (® . Con
gressman E. E. Cox of Camilla to~
day charged Governor Eugene Tal-‘
madge with a “grievous mis-state
ment of facts” concerning the ree
cently enacted social security law
Talmadge, in & speech in New
York City recently, said that un
der the law, “not one dime” would
go to pay old age penslons to far
mers, farmers' wives, farm labor
ers or domestic servants.”
Cox, in a statement, said this was
untrue, and that if Governor Tal
madge would set up a plan for do
ing go, aged, poor people of Geor
gia would be receiving sls monthly
from the federal government to
day. |
He said Talmadge had confused
the different provisions of the
soclal security act, and that the
section Talmadge had quoted in his
address “has nothing whatever tol
do with title 1, (of the act) which
provides for grantg to states fori
old age assistance, commonly call
ed old age pensions.” |
Cox said exemption of farmers,
farmers‘’ wives, farm laborers anai‘
domestic gervants from one section
of that act was “a favor rather,
than a disfavor to farmers.’
He added: 1
“Domestic servants, farmers, far-!
mers’ wives and children are eli
gible to all the benefits provided
for under every title of the act
except title 2 and related tax pro
visiong from which this class was
exempt because of the inconven
jence and hardship which would
result in putting them under this
iproviaion of the law.”
