The little orphan girl about whom‘
a story was carried in Tuesday’s,
Banner-Herald, is going to have a“
pPermanێnt home, ;
At least [alf-a-dozen Athens
families have signified their (10—1
sire to adopt the little. girl, \vh()i
otherwise would have to be plao-'
ed in an orphanage. '
Less than two hours after tho]
Burner-Herald eame off the press
vesterday the office phoneg bogzmi
ringing. Callers interested in tho%
case. [lirst definite offer of adop
tion ecame shortly before soven‘\
o'clock. |
All morning the phones have
been busy, other interested persons
calling for details about the caso.j
There were many offers from kind
nearted Athenians who wished to
keep the little girl through the
Christmas geason, git her out with
clotheg and any thing else she
might need. |
However, the persons in charge
of the case, believe it best if a
perms#nént hame can he sacurd for
the jittle five year old orphan. And
it now secems certain that one of
the Half-dnzen definite offers of
adcption will be carried through to
a satisfactory conclusion. 1

of the Christmas Seal as a means of
raising money tc fight tuberculosis
Miss Bissell read a story about this
and designed a seal to sell in this
country. Her first sale, thirty years

open a hospital in Delaware for chil

LEGISLATORS LOOK
FOR MORE REVENUE
Legalization and Taxation
Of Hard Liquor in Geor
gia |s Discussec
(By The Asgsociated Press)
ATLANTA —(AP) — Legaliza
tion and taxation of hard liquor
in Georgia is one source to which
some legislative members are
looking for additional revenue 10
meet demands of increased starie
activities undev the administration
of Covernor-Elect E. D. Rivers,
a leader in the general assembly
said here today.
Enactment of old age pensions,
guaranteed terms for all public
schools, free school books for all
public school students and state
improvement of rural routes and
secondary roads will create & nead
for $8,000,000 or $9,000,000 more
than the normal state budget of
$30,000,000, the source of this in
formation revealed.
Bfforts at legalization of liquor{
will be through legislative act and
not through referendum, he sald.‘
He recalled a referendum on the
question in 1935 when the sta.te's|
assembly-enacted prohibition stat
utes failed of repeal by a “a few
hundred votes.” In the same elec-‘
tion, voters authorized eale andi
manufacture of beer and wine. |
Besides the liquor tax, other]
sources of revenue being consider
ed, and all of which may be adop
ted, call for & tax on chain stores,
a revision of the state’s income tax
schedules, an increase in theta |
on beer, levying a tax on wine,
now untaxed, and returning fron
a 10 to 20 per cent tax on cigars
and cigarettes. The informant de
clined to be quoted by name. !
The need for “new money” ir
{he state treasury will come from
extension of activities proposed Ly

Avproximately $5,000,000 morel
must be spent on schools if the
