enjoy a good barbecue at the
same time get in touch with any
member of the committee, if they
have not alreadg received tickets.
The committee handling the
barbecue is composed of D. Wea
ver Bridges, chairman; H. L.
Wheeler, Frank E. Mitchell, H. B.
Hodgson, E. L. Eberhart, T. J.
Echols. W.. J. Haynes W. A.
Hodgson, Grace B. Cook, R. T.
Brown, W. R. Brown A. W.
Edge, W. T. Ray, L. Dennis
Penny and Tony Camarata. If
tickets have been received and a
person desires additional ones,
any member of the committee can
furnish them.
Some months ago, in order to
secure government aid, the Post
had to guarantee the furnishing
of $12,400 in materials for the
pool. As is usually the case, the
estimate was far short of what
was really needed and the Legion
asked for donations toward rais
ing the amount needed. Subscrip
tions amounting to $9,000 were
received and of this amount about
$2,000 remains unpaid.
With the loss of government
aid staring it in the face, and
with a wonderful hut uncompleted
pool on its hands, the Legion un
derwrote the $3,009 needed in
subscriptions. Operation of the
unfinished pool and the fair held
last fail has reduced this amount
somewhat.
In order to have the pool ready
for use this summer the Legion
has bent every effort in raising
additional funds as tile for the
pool and equipment for the bath
houses had to be installed. The
payroll for this work must be
carried locally and it amounts to
over S3OO weekly. The Legion has
been able to carry this payroll
for three weeks and is now asking
the help of the public in finishing
what will be the largest outdoor
swimming pool south of Baltimore,
and one of the best in the entire
country .
It is expected that one of the
largest crowds ever to attend a
barbecue in Athens will gather
next Tuesday night at 6:30 at the
Comniunity Center, enjoy a delic
ious meal and help in completing
the big swimming pool.

each team to contact their pros

‘state Gaitesville, carrying a large
part of the financial burden last'
vear, will be able to assume only
a small part of the 1936 budget '
and the contributions from other
localities being small. 3
Mrs. George D. Thomas, chair
man of the Athens Chapter of the
American Red Cross, wrote Mr.i
Almand a letter recently wishing
{the Scouj campaign the utmost
success. She said the Red Cross)
wae keenly interested in Scout
work. 1
The letter, dated May 9, 1935
and addressed to Mr. Almand, fol
lows: |

Jane Holbrook, Shirley
Orr Are “Opportunity
Night” Winners
(Continuea From Page One) |
fore on Opportunity Night. i
That's a lot to write about just!
one of the two winners but then‘
husky-voiced Holbrook gives you |
a lot to write about. {
Second place was won by .\usst
Shirley Orr, Athens, after a knock- ,
down, drag-out battle of ballotsl
with Mrs. Julian Bloodworth of !
Gainesville. |
Miss Orr offered two as nearl_\'l
perfect tap routlines as has been§
seen in Athens in many moons,
and Mrs. Bloodworth, although |
having had " only ten lessons,;
proved herself complete master of |
the big piano-accordion she han-g
dled like . veteran. Her selections
were “Lights Out” and “Twelfth
Street Rag.” |
Miss Orr was attired in an eye- !
holding costume and the way she .
twinkled about over the stage,
doing the most intricate steps and |
keeping perfect time, was some
thing to see. It was good enough |
to send her under the wire a close
winner over the Gainesville en
trant. ;
So, first prize of §slo goes to
little Miss Holbrook and second
prize of $5 goes to Mies Orr. And |
with the cash prizes also goes the‘
chance of competing in the grand
monthly finals for May, which
will be held two weeks from last
night. Prizes in the monthly con- |
tests are $25 for first and sls for
second, with third place ‘winning
$5.
The program was opened b_vi
the Snelling Sisters from Madi
son. They sang a medley of “A
Daughter of the Red and Black,”
“Old Mamie Riley,” and “Shine on
Harvest Moon,” and got a big
hand. They sung in the manner of
the famed Pickens sisters, of
whom they are personal friends.
Miss Orr, already divensed with
above was second on the bill and |
was followed by Miss Inez Jones.
Athens, who scored a big hit with
her two vocal selections. *“l'm
Putting All My Eggs in One Bas
ket” and ‘‘Shooting High.” |
No. 4 on the program was Der
wood Beck, Atlanta, who gave an
amazing verion of tap dancing,
breaking into a buck dance that
drew sustained applause and
many votes.
Mrs. Bloodworth was No. 5 and
wos followed by little Miss Hol
brook.
Judges who counted the ballcts
and announced the winners were
