A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; He
will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor
forget the covenant of thy fathers which He
sware unto them.—Deuteronomy 4:31.
To sin because mercy abounls is the devil's logic:
he that sins because of God's mercy, shall have
judgment without mercy.. Mercy is not for them
that sin and fear not, but for them that fear and
sin not,—T. Watson.
CATTON’S COMMENT
A burnt child fears the fire, according to the wis
dom of the ancients, and it looks very much as it
the American people have not in any way forgotten
the scorching they took when the 1929 boom went
up “in smoke.
Tor an odd phenomenon is observable these days.
Fne business indices show us to be approaching a
new boom-—and people everywhere are looking away
and bevond it and seeing another slump coming,
They are approaching this new boom cautiously,
keeping their fingers crossed.
Going up is pleasant, and the view from the top is
elegant, but when you slide down on the other side,
the bump is something awful, and the people have
not forgotten what happened the last time.
This must be the first time in our history that we
have approached a boom with anything but un
beunded hope in our hearts, and the sign is a good
one, A good part of the history of the next genera
tion wille be written by the way in which we handle
this coming boom. ol ‘
If we treat it merely as something to be exrloited,
as a high, wide, and handsome period in which any
thing gdes so long as it makes money, the dark
story of the recent depression will begin all over
again in a few years, and the things that happen in
it will be apt to produce some disastrous conse
quences. "
If on the other hand, we can work out a way of
making the boom truly productive—if we can re
member that the problem of the last few years need
golution just as badly when the stock market is
going up as when it is coming down, and act ac
cordingly, we can help to insure the happiness of
America for many Years to come, }
A depression is supposed to be a good time to
make reforms, because during a depression the peo
ple are wiliing to experiment, whereas they tend to
be opposed to change in time of prosperity.
But a depression creates at atmosphere of fear.
It brings extremists and crackpots to the top, and
they get a folldwing they cannot command at any
other time. . Their exeesses in turn, make conserva
tive folk feel that any concession to change is likely
to lead to disaster.
1t iz different when times are good, The pressure
to do something, anything at all so long as it is dif
ferent, is not there. Men of opposing beliefs can
meet calmly and discuss what needs to be done.
There is time to take the long view.
For that reéason, the coming boom is our oppor
tunity. While we are enjoying prosperity, we can
lock abhead to the next slump and take steps to make
our country as nearly slump-proof as a land may
be in this uncertain world.
If we go into the boom with that determinaton
constantly in mind, we need not be afraid of that
long slide down the other side of the mountain.
One of the most alarming features of the depres
sion, it will be remembered, was the phenomenon of
the so-called wild boys and girls of the road.
In May, 1933, for instance, a federal survey re-i
vealed that more than 50,000 boys and girls between
16 and 25 were in transient centers cared for by
already overburdened charity agencies. |
Now it is revealed that the problem has melted
away with the return of good times, That is the
consensus of National Youth Administraton direc
‘tors from 14 midwestern states, whe credit better
business, CCC camps, and NYA efforts with reclaim
ing these wandering youths.
Of all the pleasant signs that prosperity is round
ing that corner on high, this should rank as one of
the mest heart-warming.
It is good to read Harry Hopkins' assurance that
no person in actual need is going to be cut off the
relief roils this winter.
In various cities the pruning-down of work relief
rolls was accomplished in a pretty hard-boiled man
ner, during the last few weeks, While it is unques
tionably true that & number of skullers and shirkers
were thereby removed from the public payroll, the
plain fact remains that we still have an enormous
uumb?r of unemployed people who are unable ta find
work in private industry. zZ
It is just as important now as it was in the very
depths of the depression to save these people from
hunger and destitution. Mr. Hopkins’ pledge that
»10 on in the United States who is in need of re
lief is going to be dropped” is a timely and much
needed reassurance. <

~ SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING
| ACCIDENTS
There is much being said and written
on the subject of automobile accidents.
In fact, accidents resulting in serious in
juries and fatalities have grown at an
alarming rate during the past few years.
So much so, municipalities and states have
undertakén to legislate requirements for
motorists that will cause a reduction in
the daily multiplying casualty lists
throughout the country.
The Oregon State Motor @ Association
has compiled and had distributed twelve
rules, which it believes will aid in the re
duction of the numbher of accidents. They
are worth reading and considering. The
rules are:
“1. Illuminate main traveled highways
contiguous to cities.
“2. Distinctly mark sections of high
ways where vision isimpaired and passing
is dangerous. . B !
“3. Erect markers to show maximum
speeds allowed in congested areas.
“4, Erect “Keep to Right” signs on all
highways in the state.
“5. Make warning signs standard in
gize, color and position,
“6. Teach highway safety in public
schools.
“7. Enforce laws from viewpoint of
safety—not revenue, .
“8. Make statewide inspection of cars
compulsory.
“9. Subject pedestrians to a uniform,
enforced traffic code,
“10. Adopt a safety glass law covering
all new cars sold.
“11. Establish a drivers’ school for
those who wish to improve their driving.
“12. Do not permit left hand turns in
metropolitan areas.”
The foregoing suggestions are applica
ble to all towns, cities and states. So
few places on the streets and highways
are marked showing dangerous points.
Besides automobiles worn so they are un
safe to be operated onthe highways should
not be permitted to be used. In all states and
municipalities, there should be a system
of inspection, not only of the cars, but
drivers should be required to pass exami
nations before being allowed to drive a
car. Until stricter regulations of drivers
are enacted into law and enforced, there
is little hope of improving conditions in
sofar as relates to a reduction of acei
dents. !
THE NUMBER RACKET
The number racket or lottery being
carried on in Atlanta has grown to large
proportions. That is in the way of mak
mg money easy. It does seem that such
schemes could be broken up, if the offi
cers of the law were diligent in their duties.
Last year, Eddie Guyol, alleged head and
promoter of the lottery scheme, was shot
dead, in the driveway of his home, His
wife was in the car with him at the time
[of the murder. Now comes another flare.
up among alleged lottery operators in
which three lives were lost and one per
son wounded. Investigations show that a
band of these outlaws are organized in
that city and successfully operating in the
face of the officers and in violation of
the laws of this state as well as of the
ordinances of the municipality,
We are not informed as to the inside
of the operation of this racket, but from
a long distance view of the occurrences,
it does not seem that such a scheme
could be carried on without protection
from some sourcé When the organiza
tion is thoroughly sifted down and the
real operators become known, there may
be a sensation developed that will involve
many of prominence in public life in that‘
city.
From reports in the pewspapers of At-!
lanta, few arrests are being made in this
connection and then only when someone
has been murdered. The racket goes on
and the lottery continues its money mak-|
ing for those who are fortunate enough tui
keep out of the eyes of the law and the
grasp of the officers. Atlanta is a bigi
city, it is true, but there should be enough
honest officers and officials who would
bear down on the lawless element ands
drive them from that city, or have them
arrested, tried, convicted and sent to the
chaingang. 1
RAILROADS ARE PROSPERING
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Recon-‘
struction Finance Corporation, has an
announced ‘that the New York Central
Railroad has paid off its indebtedness to
the government. The amount this rail-|
toad had borrowed is announced as being!
the sum of $27,500,000. At the time the|
loan was made, not only the New York|
Central, but every other railroad in the|
country was practically bankrupt. The‘
'relief afforded by the government, when
it was impossible for the railroads to keep !
!going, saved them and placed them in a|
position to recover from financial embar-|
rassment. !
Another thing done by the government
that has helped the railroads a great deal |
lis the lowering of passenger rates. These
rates enable the railroads to compete with|
buses and privately owned automobiles.[
Much of the travel, formerly over these
’agencies is now going to the railroads. |
The action of the Inter-State Commerce’
!Commission in reducing passenger rates
was fortunate for the railroads. Not only/
the Central of New York has liquidated its|
loan, but twenty-five other railroads in|
the country that had borrowed moneyl
have paid off their obligations. l
With the come-back of the railroads,
all other lines of business are bound to
improve and return to normalcy. Settled
conditions are here again and with the;
commencement of the new year, prosper-]
ity is bound to continue throughout the|
nation. l

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO ‘U’
~ We can recall when kleps.
tomania was a common dis
ease among a great many of
our people. In fact, the mer
chants kept a list of those so
affected. %
When one of these kleptoma
niacs entered a store, the cle%
kept watch on them as close s
they would of a mad dog.- It Is
said that “kleptoamnia is & forn
of insanity manifesting itself ?14
an irresistible propensity to steak”
The foregoing sentence is the‘
definition given by a dictionary
we consulted, and we presué
that it covers the meaning of e
word fully, and we would say
completely. So when a perosn
misapplies the property, or should
we say merchandise, of another,
it is not down right stealing, but
in polite society or circles such
action on the part of one of its
members is termed “kleptoma- i
nia.” !
In recent years, however, we
had not heard of a kleptoma
niac working the stores in this
city, until a few days ago,
when we were told that such
escapades were commen oc
currences.
Such an affliction is deplorable,
if it is a bona fide case of insan
ity, for insanity it must be, when
women so far forget themselves
as to appropriate wearing apparel
and even hats, for their own use,
without paying the merchant for
his goods. We can understand the
ordinary shorlifter and rogue.
These people make a business of
stealing and do not make any
bones about it. It is a profession
with them and sometimes very
profitable, unless they are detect
ed, and then a sentenece in jail
or the chaingang is imposed,
which in some instances amounts
to years of service.
It so happened that a clerk
in one of the stores in this
city was waiting on a custom
er and nearby stood a well
dressed woman, apparently
waiting for her turn to be
waited on.
Some very attrcative and valu
able garments were ,spread out on
the counter in front of this sup
posed customer. sShe eyed and
inspected them closely, and in a
“jiffy”” she chunked one of the
garments under her cloak, but
her presto change work was not
fast enough to escape the eye of
the clerk, behind a nearby coun
ter. When the woman started to
leave the store, the clerk called
her attention to the garment she
had tucked away, and then with
apologies to the clerk, the woman
paid for the article and it became
her property. Such acts may be
that of the Kkleptomaniac, but in
our way of analyzing it, we are
inclined to the belief that it js
nothing more nor less than steal=
in gwith the hores of getting
away with it.

| BEGIN HERE TODAY
Marcia Canfield, daughter
of wealthy Philip Canfield,
meets Bruce McDougall, art
ist, shortly after the mysteri
ous disappearance of Frank
Kendrick, to whom Marcia had
been engaged. When short
ages are found in Kendrick’s
business accounts, Marcia is
more shocked than heart
broken. She realizes she was
never in love with him.
F McDougall is attentive until
. Dorothy Osborn, who dislikes
Marcia, leads him to believe
Marcia is engaged to another
man.
There is a bank holdup and
police commandeer the Can
field car to follow the bandits.
The car is wrecked and both
Marcia and her father are in
jured.
McDougall, driving with
Dorothy, comes upon the
scene and takes Marcia and
her father to a hospital. Their
injuries are not serious.
Although Marcia’s arm is in
a sling, it is decided that she
will take part in the amateur
play to be presented soon.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXII.
The dress rehearsal of “Half-
Acre in Eden” defied all amateur
play traditions and went of
splendidly. No one forgot his
lines, there were no accidents due
to faulty scenery, the lighting was
effective, the costuming expertly
done, and even the non-profes
sional stage hands, who couid
hardly expect to get any glory
out of the most successful preseu.
and in the principles of Elk
ism.
The Elks of Geergia, the soutb
and the nation knew and appre
ciate Mr. Bush as one of its out
standing members, and a true
representatiev of the order. He
has been the Exalted Ruler of the
Athens Lodge; District Deputy of
the Grand Exalted Ruler of the
United States: vice-president of
the Georgia State Elks Associa
tion, and & member of the Grand
Lodge membership committee. In
fact, he has held more offices in
the state and grand lodge than
any other Elk in the state. But
with all his activities in the Elks
lodge, he is now devoting his time
and energies to the jewelry bus
iness and has just had his store
done -over and it is one of the
show places of the city,
There is one official con
nected with the University of
Georgia who never egts a rest
even when the institution is
closed for the holidays.
There may be others in the
same classification, but the one
we have in mind is B.: C. Kinney,
business manager. Our observ
ance is his duties do not permit
him an idle moment from early
morning untii late in the after
noons, and often his duties hold
him to a late hour in the even
ings. Being buslness manager of
such a large institution is any
thing but a play job. The respon
sibilities of keeping up the build
ings and grounds is a man's sized
job, but that part of his duties
are just the beginning of the re
quirements of this important
office. As a business man, he is
resourceful, possessing superb
executive ability, and with
#ll the perplexing problems he
has to solve, he never loses one
of the most valuable qualifica
tions for success, that «{ consider
ation and affableness when deal
ing with the public. « = 5
tation, did their job with profes
sional dispatch.
Tired though they were by the
last week's intensive rehearsals,
the members of the cast felt that
they and their properties were in
the best possible condition for the
big night, and even Mrs. Hender
son, worried by responsibility,
looked forward to the fruit of
their labors with a reluctant con
fidence.
And finally éveryone concerned
in the production went home, in
various conditions of nervousness
and anticipation, to await the one
brief night toward which the
efforts of many weeks had been
expended,
Bruce McDougall attennded the
performance of “Half-Acre in
Eden” as the guest of Mike ang
Joan Bradford. Tickets to each
show presented were included in
the membership privileges of the
Stagecraft Guild, and the Brad
ford femily membership entitled
them to two tickets. Mike, witi'
what he hoped was a good rre
tense of unselfishness, suggested
to Joan that she use their tick
ets for McDougall and herself.
She retorted that she wouldn’t
dream of depriving him of the
pleasure of seeing the play and
cheerfully took a dollar of his
money to buy a third ticket for
their guest,
Mcbougall, left to his own de
vices, probably would not have
attended, but, having arrived and
resigned himself to his fate, he
Ead to admit that a workmanlike
job wes on view. As an artist, he
{ourd chief interest in the scon
ery committee’'s products, and yet,
having expected to be bored by
an amateur production, he found
himself almost as' interested in
the play as if he had been in o
Broadway theater.
Surprised, he wondered if this
group of suburbanites always gave
s 0 excellent a performance. The
answer, had he put the question
to a veteran Stagefract Guild
playgoer, would have been a nega
tive.
\ Backstage, as the show got un
der way, temperatures had risen
because of the presence in the
audience of Lloyd Burtis, one of
the most successful New York
producers. His entrance into the
auditorium had been discovered at
once and reported to the cast as

the curtain was arout to rise, and
significance of unknown proyror
tions was added by the fact thot
he attended in company with Reid
Henderson, husband of the play's
director.
It was recalled that Mr. Burtis
was an old friend of the Hender
sons, and the dirvector’'s mysterious
statement concerning an import
ant event on the night of the
show seemed to give greater
promise. Just what his attendance
could mean to the Guild and the
town, both of which, Mrs. Hender
son had said, would benefit
through the forthcoming surprise,
the cast could not fathom, but i’
spurred them to a finer perform
ance, nevertheless. Accustomed to
playing before audiences of fam
ilies, friends and neighbors, they
felt that the rresence of a pro
fessional producer demanded
greater efforts than wusual, and
they responded to their utmost.
The first act was concluded
without a -hitch, and as sets and
costumes were changed and the
‘high school orchestra. performed
to the satisfaction of admiring
parents, Mrs. Henderson, behind
the curtain, was deluged with in
quiries concerning Burtis and the
promised surprise.
But she refused an exXplanation,
and the second act began with
the cast very much on edge.
Grimly McDougall watched
Marcia Canfield on the stage,
wishing he had not come to see
her. Every word and gestuve
made her more desirable to him,
nearer to him, even while he con
sidered her more and more re
mote.
Yet in his gloomy preoccupation
he had time to notice, with a Dbit
of amusement, one curious fact:
Marecia’s injured arm was appar
ently unnoticed by the audience.
Or, at least, overlooked. No one
had mentioned it in his hearing.
When the second act curtain
fell there was a tide of excited
talk through the auditorium. Mc-
Dougall, as a newcomer, was mys
tified, and Joan explained that
Lloyd Burtis, the producer, had
left his seat and, according to a
report brought from backstage and
thoroughly circulated, was now
closeted with several people, and
that a surprising and important
announcement would soon be
forthcoming.
It was a long intermission. The
orchestra played four numbers,
and the audience was becoming
decidedly restless when Mrs. Hen
derson stepped before the curtain
and waitd for silence.
She had just emerged, she said,
from a conference with Mr. Bur
tis, from whom she had previous
ly exacted a secret promise in
connection with tonight’s show.
The conference had been attended
also by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Os
born, of Bobbs Neck, and Miss
Dorothy Osborn, their daughter
and a member of the cast.
Mr. Burtis’s promise, she could
now announce, had been to offer
a Broadway opportunity to the
player = who gave the finest' per
formance in tonight’s shew. He
had required only two acts to
make his choice; the offer had
been made to the young lady se
lected, in the presence of her
parents, and accepted.
Miss Dorothy Osborn would
have her chance on Broadway
Not, of course, as a star, but still
it would be a chance.
Mrs. Henderson thought the
Stagecraft Guild and Bobbs Neck
could both be proud of this result
of amateur effort.
There was an actual ovation.
Frank Osborn and his wife, hav
ing waited backstage during the
announcement, attempted to ra.
turn to their seats during the up
roar, and called forth an even
greater demonstration, much to
their embarrassment. And when
the third act curtain went up,
Dorothy, who was on the stuge
alone for a few moments, got such
a reception that she was almost
in tears, and her recovery, under
the circumstances, was evidence
of an inherent capability to obL
serve that hallowed injunction of
the professional actress, “The
show must go on."
Her part in the play was fin
ished after half a dozen minutes
in the third act, and she left the
stage to another burst of ap
plause. Through the whispered,
but nonetheless hearty, congratu
lations of those clustered in the
wings, she made her way to the
dressing room she shared witr
several others. There, alone for a
short while, st§ put her head ir
her arms and wept.
It was perhaps the greatest
emotional moment she would ever
know.
She who had lived to woman
hood drinking bitterness of her
own brewing, found this gift of
actual triumph & purely sweet
draught. She who had dreamed of
