Gala Festival Slated At
Gainesville On Labor Day
GAINESVILLE, Ga.—Plans are
unfolding to make the big
Northeast Georgia Festival, sche=-
duled for presentation in Gaines
ville Labor Day, one of the big~
gest events ever staged in ‘‘this
neck of the woods.”
One of the main attractions of
the day will be the appearance
of Senator Clyde Roark Hoey,
Democrafi¢ solon from North
Carolina. Introducing the emi
nent speaker will be Georgia’s
own Senator Walter F. George.
Another of 'Georgia's favorite
sons, Senator Richard B. Russell
will speak. . : -
Gainesville will be replete with
national figures for the fabulous
affair, for. the President of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce has also been invited to
attend, along with several impor=
tant military figures and the
mayors and county commission
ers of every municipality in
Northeast Georgia. They will
share the speaker’s stand with
the main figures of the day.
Senator Hoey is well-chosen
to address the festival crowd for
his rise to the position he main
tains now in the national govern
ment in one sense parallels North
east Georgia’s own struggle to
reach .ts present status in the
industrial and agricultural world.
At the age of 12, Hoey entered.
the printing trade as a devil and
worked in that capacity until he
had become apprentice pressman.
He purchased a county newspa
per when he was 16, publishing
and editing the' paper for 14
years. During that time, he studi=
ed law at home and attended
summer law school at the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
Following his admittance to
the bar in 1899, his rise in the
echelons of politics was rapid. He
has served as governor of North
Carolina, United States represen
tative and Senator from that
state. He has the honor off hav
ing received the largest majority
of votes ever given a candidate
for either governor or senator in
the Democratic primary of North
Carolina.
In addition to the day’s promi
nent speaker, +the Northeast
Georgia festival will feature an
elaborate float parade in the
morning to be followed by num
erous athletic events in the after
noon. Impressive portion of ‘the
parade will be the sth. Infantry
Division band from Fort Jack
son, South Carolina and a com=-
pany of 82nd, Airborne troops
frog Fort Benning.
Climaxing the day’s events will
be the pageant, “Queen of the
Mountains,” depicting 130 years.
of Northeast Georgia’'s history.
An original musical score has
been” prepared for the production
and will be presented by a
Hammond organ and a 40-voice
chérus. More than 200 Gaines~
ville citizens will stage the color
ful panarama under the direce
tion of Maude Fiske LaFleur.

A neighbor’s child was tor

“What in the world are the
magic letters O. F. S, T.?” asked
a friend who was sitting with
Sally and Jimmy’s mother.
“They stand for ‘Our Family
Sticks together’'” explained the
mother and they've come to be
a family call to arms.”
