Athens To Cooperate In Getting
New Coast-To-Coast Highway
~ Athens has been asked to cooperate in a drive to
~ obtain a new bridge across the Mississippi river near
. Clarksdale, Miss., completing a coast-to-coast high
~ way that runs almost in a straight line from Charles
éfi‘f‘}on, S. C., to Los Angeles, California,
. Chamber of Commerce Secretary
~ Joel A. Wier said this morning he
‘ V*been requested to send a rep
_ resentative to a mass meeting at
dxford, Miss, on February 12, ut
which time the possibilities of con
struction of the bridge will be dis
pussed ]
|ln all probability, he s aid, it
would not be possible for him to
ttend, but Mississippi officials
‘have been notified of Athens' in
fterest and anxiety to cooperate in
‘completing the highway. |
£ A map of the proposed route is
_ shown on this page. |
~ It would be, by far, the shortest
. route from the Atlantic to the]
v; icific coastlines and, as propon-|
ents are pointing out, will be in-l
yaluable should America ever be
‘come involved in a war, because
t would enable the army ‘to tran:s-I
~ port troops and supplies at a much |
faster rate of speed. |
~ From Charleston to Los Angeles,
' the route covers 2,626 miles, touch

. From Charleston, it leads directly
©to Athens through Augusta, on to
. Atlanta, to Birmingham, Ala., and

Miss Davis first was mentionead
for the 1934 award, won by Clau
dette Colbert when “It Happened
One Night” swept the major
prizes, a feat unequalled before or
since. That year, Miss Davis was
not dominated, despite a brilliant
performance in “Of Human Bond
age,” but the oversight stirred up
much criticism and brought her
many write-in vetes.
The following year she won with
“dangerous” and repeated in 1938
“with Jezebel” Last year, she
was nominated for “Dark Victory™,
Eut lost out in the “GWTW”

| Music in Atlanta
I doubt if in all Georgia, or all
the south for that matter, there is
a person doing more to bring mu
sic to people than is Hugh Hodg
son,
Until radio suddenly dumped a
potpourri of music into the ears
of people generally, there were
truly thousands who had never
heard any music beyond a few folk
ballads or ragtime tunes.
Not everyone had a gramophone
with records. And many whe did
didn’'t know anything about music.
Radio came along and made music
available to thousands more. But
still, by and large, there were 01~
ly a small number of people in any
community who had had any touch
with great composers and their
music,
I Hugh' Hodgson is to music what
iJohnny Appeseed was to the
{northwest and its orchards. Johnny
lAppleseed went trudging along
1 giving away apple seeds aad plaat
| ing them when he could find no
lone to give them to.
i Hugh Hodgson has been con
j ducting musical programs at Ag
fnes Scott every Friday evening
.across a long period of time. The
public is invited to them.
This is just a part of his plan.
He may be found almost every
night somewhere in Georgia play
ing the piano or organizing string
trios or glee clubs or church
' choirs. He burns with a passion to
make music available for every
lone. And he thinks, mistakenly or
Inot, that the people everywhere
i will like good music if they can
I hear it.
And so, he works harder thanl
any artist I know. And he t_oilsi
with a patient enthusiasm which |
never lags. He always is \vox‘king.|
He is gaining ground ang it will
not be many years before Georgia
is going to find itself producing
musicians and rmusical organiza
tions. Communities wiil find them- |
selves posseseed of muslciansi
which give them pleasure and
prestige. A
All because this Johnny App]e-l
seed of the music world keeps go
ing about giving away the nedsl
or planting them if he can’t find
anyone to take themu __ o. ..
