ATHENS AREA GROUP
LOSE HIGHWAY SUIT
Injunction Against High
way Board Is Dissolved
By Decatur Judge.
An injjunction suit brought
against the highway board by a
group of citizeng of Oconee, Clarke
and Walton counties was dissolved
at Decatur Saturday by Superior
Court Judge James C. Davis. A
temporary restraining order was
issued several dayg ago preventing
the Highway board from entering
into contracts for $36.000 worth of
construction for which bids were
received December 29. i
. The suit was brought by 22 citi
zens and taxpayers of the old eighth |
congressional road district, now the
tenth congressional district of the
state .They complained there was al
deficiency of $1,500,000 in funds al-|
Jotted their district since the area-i
tion of the Highway board in 1919, |
Judge Davis ruled the codifica
tion of Georgia laws in 1933 re
pealed a provision of the 1919 law
requiring an equal distribution of
funds by districts,
He also ruled the action was, in
effect, a suit against the state and
that the complaining parties “did
not have such interest in.the sub
ject matter as to authorize them
to bring suit.”
Paul Lindsay, of Decatur, and
H. C. Cox, of Monroe, appeared as
attorneys for the group of north
east citizens, Judge Davis declined
their request for a continuance of
the case because of the absence of
Abit Nix, of Athens, the attorney
who originally brought the suit.
B, D. Murphy and George Goode,
assistant attorneys general under
the Talmadge administration, ar
gued what was probably their last
case for the state. They go out of
office January 15. Hollis Fort, of
Americus, also appeared as an at
torney for the Highway DBoard.

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — The most mur

Harry Wilson, who has been in
every gangster and tq‘ugh sea pic
ture film at M-G-M in the last 10
years. i
Mr. Wilson is a 210-pound plug
ugly with a flattened nose and a
gravel voice. He is a little sensi
tive about his ferocious face, and
his stock retort to all:-wisecracks
is, “You ain’t no Rembrandt your
self.” i ; l
As a specialist in roles' 'which
have a very high ‘rate of mortal
ity, Wilson estimates that he has
been killed at least 30 'times. He
remembers being hanged three
times, electrocuted. ‘twiece, i.and
mowed down by a tommy~guniin
four pictures. v, el et Wi
On the other fatal oceasions he
was just plain shot, o '‘bashed
with a blunt instrument, Only
once was he stabbed, but that was
while he was on loan'to Universal
for a heeby-jeeby item ' called
,'The Gat Creeps,” R pheg i
Dying, says Mr. Wilson, isn’t so
easy as it looks. "It takes a lot
of practice—learning to fall right,”
he declares. “I can't just hop

above, is a film executive,
tract, because he could bark like
a dog.
For six years he tried to crash
Hollywood, and for the same six
years Hollywo6d tried to make it
plain that it wished no part of
Mr. Fitzmaurice, Eventually he
became discouraged Wpd ‘tufned
publicity agent. That got him in
to a radio station, where he turn
ed. announcer and news commen
tajtor.
One day an executive heard him
amusing friends with his barking.
It was a trick he had learned as a
kid. The executive said that a
frantic search was being made for
the “voice” in the radio production
of “The Voice of Bugle Ann.” Bu
gle Ann was, if you recall, a dog.
Anyway, Fitzmaurice applied for
the jobh and got it, He was so
good that he beat out the gent who
does all the barking for Walt Dis
ney's pup, Pluto. This and. some
subsequent barking engagements
won him a chance at serious dra
matic roles on the air.
In no time at all the movie peo
ple were knocking at his <door.
His first important role, oddly
enough was in ‘Treve,” the Albert
Payson Terhune dog story. But
Fitzmaurice didn't bark in that
one. Indeed, now that he’s an ac
tor, he says he'll never bark again.

Significant Facts About This
Statemen
Banks and their operations are always
sensitive barometers which show economic
trends. Since we, as a nation, appear to
- have turned the much discussed “corner” I
was interested in analyzing this statement.
Certain'significant facts stand out in com
parison with the figures of Dec., 1935.
First—Deposits increased nearly ten million
dollars. This is important as indicative of the
fact that money is coming into or being
created in the Southeast and particularly
Georgia.
Second—Loans increased ten million dollars.
Banks have been making every effort to lend
money. Finally the demand bas come, indi
cating that business and the individual have
confidence to the extent that they are will
ing to contract obligations, to expand and
Dlan for the future.
Third—Surplus and undivided profits in
creased three hundred thousand dollars. T bis
means a larger, stronger, safer bank because
that surplus added to the capital is the de
positor’s protection, apart from good
management. In itself, it suggests good
management,
Fourth—Cash on band decreased three million
dollars, indicating the ability of the bank
management to find sound loans and safe
investments which create earning power for
the money.
These are significant and reassuring
facts which should stimulate all .
of us to feel that with level heads '
and earnest efforts we can look
forward to better, sounder and [3 }1

more prosperous conditions. Q}fi/
