Not at all! She has numbers.

her 'soft eyes twinkling with
mirth, “I love . dogs (she has a
prize chow); I do needlepoint
work and I simply love flowers.
Of course, I like to drive and

In addition to all this she finds
time to write a great deal and

she observed. And in regards to

Just ice cream, but preferably
home-made.
In college, Mrs. Becker took a

NTEREST RENEWED
AT LOGAL COUNTRY
0108, REPORTS iy
Possible Appearance of
- National Cols. Star Only
One of Many Features
A possible visit to Athens this
week by Lawson Little, interna
tionally known golf champion,
report of an’ unprecedented inter
est by voung people in golfing
and an announcement of a series
of spring tournaments yesterday
turned the eyes of northeast Geor
gia sportdom in the direction of
the Athens Country club.
While . the prospective visjt of
Lawson Little, with a possible ex
hibition matech, will set golf fans
agog, one of the most interesting
of recent developments at the
Country elub 'has been the in
crease in interest among young
people in learning golf.
< It looks like what was known
a few years ago as an “old man's
game” is being captured by youth.
Then, too, the women of this
soction—those living in Athens
and adjoining towns, are showing
a very decided interest in taking
up golf.
Reams of paper could be con
sumed in discussing the poossibili
ties of developing future golf
championg in northeast Georgila
from the growing contingent of
young boys and girls, who are
taking up the game and may be
seen every afternoon on the Ath
ens Country club's links, or taking
practice lessons near the club
house., ;
‘According to W, B. Amaos, pop
ular club manager who has been
here for four years, local golf in
terest is showing a great increase
every day, with men, women and
children taking an active part in
the sport. Ten new members were
added to the club last week, two
of whom are taking up golf for
the first time.
There are between 67 or 70 per
sons taking - lessons, ‘with 12 on
the waliting list. .As soon as a
person finishes the couwsse of in
struction, another is put in his
place,
The first of the spring tourna
ments, the Intercollegiate Open,
will be held ovVer the local course
starting April 23, This tourna
ment is a continuation of the
Southern Intercollegiate Open
which- was heéld here last year,
but is open to college golfers
from all over the country.
Following the college tourney,
‘will come the annual State High
school meet,-opening April 30. The
high school tourney will bring to
gether young golfers from all
over the state to compete for the
‘title which was captured by Tech
High schoeol of Atlanta last sea
son. g
Starting the last of May and
continuing through the first of
June will be the annual club
tournament, open only to members
of the local organization, The In
vitation tournament will be held
in July. ; :
Costing over $200,000 in actual
building expenses and improve
ments, \the Athens Country eclub
course 'is one of the finest in the
south, having been built by Don
ald Ross, widely-known golf
course constructor.., ¢
madge lieutenant and chairman of
the state's Democratic executiv
committee, Daniel did not appear.
Hamilton and Smith sat at a
table near the bank attorneys in
the crowded court room.
Hearings in the banw cases were
continued until Tuesday morning
to enable Daniel's counsel to ob
tain affidavits from officials of the
litigating banks on the collusion
charges.
Most high officials of the three
Atlanta banks had been subpoen
aed into court by Daniel, bus
Presiding Judge John D, Humph
ries ruled their personal appear
ance would not be necessary unless
they refused to give affidavits on
questions propounded to them.
The only clash of the day camu
when Hewlitt attempted to call
Steve Clay, an attorney for the
Fulton Naional Bank, to the stand.
Judge Humphries held to his rul
ing that affidavits wovld suffice,
The bank suit was given prefer
ence over another by Daniel to
force Hamilton to give him rece
ords of the treasurer's-office which
Hamilton removed shortly before
being ejected from the capitol by
“ational guardsmen.
The latter suit, a summary pro
ceeding, was postponed until after
the bank suits were heard.
Attorneys agreed, however, that
in the summary suit, the court may
decide whether Daniel or Hami:-
ton ig the legal treasurer of the
state.
| Among the contentions made by
Hamilton in his pleadings Satur
!da_v was that Governor Talmadge
~ousted him solely because he re
fused to honor a warrant on 1936
funds, that he had declined on
Econstitutional grounds, and that
‘the governor should have called a
council of the secretary of state,
iattorney general and comptroller
igeneral to give him a hearing.
~ Governor Talmadge recently re
voked the commissions as deposi
tories of the four litigating banks
and otherg in the state who refus
ed to honor checks drawn by Dan

At Last Session of
P.-T.A. Study Group
Dr. J. T. Wheeler gave the
st lecture ta.. the P.=T, A,
Study~Group. Wednesday morning
at the High school. His subject
‘was “The Place of the Parent, and
the Place of the Teacher in Edu
cation.”
Dr. Wheeler's discussion was
grouped around three questions
What is Education? When and
where does the directing of learn
ign take place? Who are the teach
-
The pick-up method, accidental
ly stumbling wupon a truth, was
mentioned and the directed or
guided method of education was
discussed . 3
“The direction of learning,” said
JDr. Wheeler, ‘should begin at
birth in the home and continue
later in the schools and help the
child to make the necessary ad
justments that will help him to
become a good citizen in his
home, community, state and na
tion.”
Different subjects that effect
the social and . economic side of
the child were discussed with re
gard to the varying ages and
needs of the children that are
taught by the parents and teach
ers. The members of the study
group are grateful to the- four
speakers, B. M. Grier, Miss Annie
V. Massey, Dr. O. €. Aderhold

able.

a chapel hour, the imminence of
winter examinations and the mild
influenza cpidemic caused the ad
ministration to give up the idea
of a. public meeting. Instead a

on Monday evening at War Me
morial hall.
‘ “After the dinner President An
gell will address the group on the
subject, ‘Neutrality and the Plain
Citizen.' After taking care of the

ed to come to Athens, the home
of the University of Georgia, es
pecially since he had seen Geor

said. 3 i

with the Legion and pointed out
that this was brought about as

engaged in a sincere attempt to
render worthwhile service in all
communities where a post is lo
catell.
