Joel
(Continved from Page Cne)
August 11, 1876, the son of Mr.
Yoel Jool and Mrs. Sophie Joel,
Jacob Bernard Joel spent the ear
lier years of his life in the quiet
and aristocratic community, the
former State Capitol and scene
of the Ordinance of Secession
which T. R. R. Cobb and others
put through the Secession Con
vention. There was no Jewish
church in the community at that
time and the family of Yoel Joel
attended Methodist church, Mr.
Joel himself being one of the at
tendants at the Methodist Sun
day School. Later, when he came
to Athens, he identified himself
with the church of his forefath
ers and was from that time on
one of the mainstays of the Con
gregation Children of Israel in
Athens.
In 1900 Mr. Joel married Miss
Esther Marks, a daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Simon Marks,
widely known Athenians. They
had mo children. After coming to
Athens, Mr. Joel began an asso
ciation and close friendship with
1 grand-nephew of Thomas R. R
%b who helped make history in
old state capitol at Milledge
/ille, where Jacob Joel was born
less than fifteen years later. This
association and close friendship
Setesen Jasos B. Joel and the
late Andrew Cobb Erwin, led
them Into many fields of activity
embracing the civic, commercial
and political life of Athens. And
in time Blanton Fortson, now
president and treasurer of the
Southern Mutual Insurance Com
pany, becarme the third member
of the group and the loyalty of
the trio to each other became a
community by-word and their
combined strength was effective
ly felt in many realms.
Widely Influential a 0
While most men of his financial
status usually become directors on
the boards of the many businesses
in which they are financially in
terested, all such invitations to Mr.
Joel mere declined. The only ex
ception to his rule having been
his election to the Board of Di
recters of the Southern Mutual In
surance Company on January 18,
1929. In this position he succeeded
the late Chancellor David Cren
shaw Barrow, At the time of his
death, Mr. Joel was the third old
est member of the Southern Mu
tual Board from standpoint of con~
tinuous tenure. He was regarded
as one of the Board’s most valuable
members.
W{hfle his choice of residence
kept him in Athens, far away from
the center of the moving picture
industry as it became “big busi
ness” and was concentrated in
New York and Hollywood, Mr.
Joel was a recognized figure in the
industry he helped establish. He
knew intimately most of the titans
of the movie industry and, in fact
was associated with Marcus Loew
when the Jatter was just beginning
his fabulous career as a giant in
the tbgical world. He later be
came Southern representative of
Loew's, Inc. Here, in Athens, with
Mr. Joel taking part there origi
nated many of the ventures which
Mr. Loew and others helped launch
which led eventually to the vast
expansion of the moving picture
indystry. .
Many Activities
Athenians knew Mr. Joel was a
business man without a superior,
but few knew of his activity civi
cally and politically. Civically his
advice was often sought by those
interested in promoting the devel
opment of the community in that
realm and his assistance was read
fly and frequently given in a most
e&ecfive way in that direction. He
was a factor politically for many
years although he never essayed a
publie role in that phase of com
munity life.
His aid to those in adverse pe
cuniary ecircumstances was as un~
ostentatious as were his activities
in other ways, but he was at the
top of the list of those who, as in-

HOLLYWOOD - - Designer Ro
sario Castagna's newest creation
theatens to outdate robes, house
dresses and slacks.
He calls it a “one-piece ward
robe,” a ste{)-into arrangement for
lcunging, lunching, vacationing,
entertaining, studying, boating, cy
cling, shopping, gardening, travel
ing and just about everything else
—except swimming.
It’s not just a garment for wo
men, either; Castagna has even
designed one for men. ;
Castagna's creation, a typical
California production, looks like
the mutation of lounging robe and
a slack suit. “It was designed for
comfort loving people,” he saafs.
;‘lt's‘a costume they can literally

The ons-piece wardrobe was
criginally conceived to make trav

Business Spiral
Rises In Georgia
ATLANTA, Aug. 25.—(AP)—
Several lines of business activity
continued an upward spiral in
Georgia the first half of this year,
the Department of Commerce
said today.
Some business activities slump
ed under last year.
But the “minus signs” were not
too bad for the state, considering
that 1948 is regarded as a peak
year throughout the country, said
C. Parker Persons, regional di
rector of the Department of Comr
merce.
His survey noted advances in
bank debits, cash - farm income,
new urban construction, business
and residential telephones, and
production of electric energy.
Declines were noted in retail
and wholesale trade, bank depos
its, manufacturing employment,
new business incorporations, and
“It proved to be so smart and
practical that we extended it be
yond the vacation wardrobe. In
the home, the garmeut is ideal for
the housewife who likes the com
fort of a robe, but who also works
outside or makes frequent trips to
the market. There is no need to
change for luncheon or even an
informal dinner party.”
Castagna says his creation is
dandy for men who come home
after wearing a tight collar all
day at the office. @ < 2
The men’s model is made of
corduroy, the women’s of pinroy.
“You can hang it over the bath
in the evening and let the steam
erase the wrinkles,” says Cas
tugna, adding:
“It's perfect for television par
ties. You can sit on pillows or
right on the floor without fear of
mussing your clothes. And you
know, the more comfortable you
are, the more successful the
party.”
freight and passenger revenue.
Bank debits among 13 cities
rose more than one percent ovef
the first six months of last year.
Cash farm income was up five
percent. Urban construction was
up 11 percent,
Retail sales dropped one per
cent in Atlanta, two percent in
Macon, and seven percent in Sa
vannah. All areas recorded de
clines in department store sales
except Augusta, which reported
up one percent. Department store
sales were off seven percent in
Columbus; 12 percent in Rome,
and 13 percent in Macon.
Chewing cloves to sweeten the
breath is a custom more than 4.-
000 years old. In ancient China,
court officers were required to
hold cloves in their mouths when
addressing the king.

ROTARY WHEEL
by SAM WQOODS
An interesting program has
been arranged for next Wednes
day’s Rotary luncheon meeting
when Rotert Alston, well known
Atianta attorney will speak on
“Trusts and Wills.” The program
has been arranged by Floyd
Adams.
At this week’s luncheon meeting
Howard .jenson presented Dr. R.
P- Brooks, of the University of
Georgia, who spoke on “Tax Prob
lems in Georgia.”
Pointing out that Georgia is lag
ging behind a score of states in
the matter of finance, Dr. Brooks
said that this state would do well
‘o consider and enact a sales tax
which has been put into effect and
found successful i twenty-six
other s*ates.
The speaker said. that Florida
and South Carolina, states border
ing on Georgia do not yet have a
sales tax but that both are giving
it thought and may adopt it.
North Carolina had had a sales
tax for some years and the suc
cess of the tax in that state has
done much to recommend it to
other states.
Very Productive
Dr. Brooks feels the sales tax is
the only extremely productice type
of tax and along with the income
tax and a revised automobile li
cense tax will yield enough funds
to balance Georgia’s budget.
Dr. Howard P. Giddens, new pas
tor of First Baptist Church, was
inducted as a member of the club
and greeted by President Alton
Hosch and Dr. J. C. Wilkinson,
whom he succeeds as pastor of
the local congregation. Mrs. Gid

Truman Welcomes Party
Bolters Back On Terms
By ERNEST B. VACCARO and DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—(AP)—President Truman
put out the welcome mat for Southern party bolters today,
but demanded that those who cross it get in step with the
1948 Democratic platform.
He delivered the invitation—
strictly on his owvn terms—at a
rousing dinner of the Democratic
National Comnrittee a few hours
after it had read five Southern
States’ Rights members from the
high command.
And, leaving the door open to
non-Truman Democrats in Con
gress to fall. in line with the Tru
man program, the commitiee ex
empted them from the party
puige. 5
The fires of revolt, however,
aiready were burning anew.
States’ Righters announced they
are opening Washington head
quarters to spread the flames.
The whole thing was sg?rrked by
Southern dislike for A b o
mans’ civil rights program.
The Campaigner
It was Truman the campaigner
—swinging free style in the man
ner of his “oive 'em hell” stump
ing of last year—who proclaimed
his party of today ‘“a national
party, and not a sectional party
any more.” ; :
“The tail no longer wags the
dog,” he said.
He went on to say that he won
in 1948 without New York, “with
out the industriai East and with
out the solid South” and that he
was “prouder of that than any
thing that has ever happened to
me."
Then came the inviiation:
“And that doesn’t mean, that
we are not inviting the industrial
East and the solid South and all
the rest of the country to join
the party of the people, and help
the country go forward. That is
exactly what we want, and that
is exactly what we are going to
accomplish in the next two
years.”
At the same time ke praised
the National Committee, which
elevated ‘William M. (Bill) Boyle,
jr, former Kansas City palice
official, to the chairmanship and
purged the five Southern States’
Righters from its rolls for de
serting the Truman ticket last
year. ‘-
Never Better Off
“I am overwhelmed at the way
the situation has worked out,”
Mr. Truman said. “I don’t think
the Democratic Party in the his
tory of the nation has ever been
in better condition to carry the
battle to the foe.” '
The hundreds of diners whoop
ed it up, campaign year style,
when the orchestra played, “I'm
Just Wild About Harry.”
Meanwhile, Boyle, who took
over; from J. Howard McGrath,
the new Attorney General, said
he plans no purge of non-Truman
Dbmasratic sonsrasemen,
“] certainly don’t intend to en
ter any primary fights in any
states,” he said.
But, he added, he and the party
intend and expect to elect more
members of Congress next year
who wil back the Truman pro
gram.
The committee applied the boot
to Marion Rushton of Alabama,
William H. Talbot of Louisiana,
J. B. Snider and Mrs. Hermes
Gautier of Mississippi, and Mrs.
Anne A. Agnew of South Caro
lina for bolting last year to the
States’ Rights presidential tisket
of Governor J. Strom Thurmond
of South Carolina and Governor
Fielding Wright of Mississippl.
Charlie Keller of the Yankees
has a .306 batting average for 19
World Series games. Among his
22 hits were five home runs.
The first tronwroks in Amet
ica was located on the banks of

Bolter Action
ATLANTA, Aug. 25 — (AP) —
Gov. Herman Talmadge today crit
icized the National Democratic
Executive Commiiiee’s refusai to
seat committee members from
four Southern States.
_“lf T had been these, T would
have voted a very loud ‘No,’” he
said. %
“The truth of the matter is, 1
don’t think the Executive Commit
tee can kick anyone out. I think
it's up to the convention.”
The Governor’s comment came
in reply to questions about a re
port that Mrs. Iris Blitch, Georgia
Nationai Committeewoman, and
James S. Peters, State Committee
Chairman, holding Committeeman
J. Robert Elliott’s proxy, voted to
oust the States Righters.
He said he had no first-hand in
formation on how they voted but
he understood it was an aye and
nay voice vote and he didn't see
how their vote could be determ
ined.
The Georgia delegation to the
National Convention last year sup
ported Sen. Richard B. Russell for
the presidential nomination. But
it did not pull out of the party, as
did the State’s Righters, and Pres
ident Truman carried Georgia last
November.
Alabama, South Carolina, Miss
issippi and Louisiana committee=-
men were refused recognition by
the National Democratic group.

Elements Help
Fire Fighters
Gain Time
By The Associatéd Press
The battle against fires ravag
ing North American forests took
a favorable turn today.
Rain and diminishing winds
aided the fire fighters.
The situation is still serious,
however, in many areas. Flames
have wiped oul valuabie #imber
in western United States, New
England and Canada.
One person was killed and four
injured yesterday in California’s
forest fires. Harry T. Meyer, 32-
year-old lumrber crewman, was
killed by a falling tree in Stanis
laus National Forest where flames
have blackened ‘more than 7,100
acres.
Run Into Trouble
Fire fighters in Idaho’s nationa!
forest still were running into
trouble. One of four major blazes
in Payette National Forest broke
loose yesterday anad ran over an
estimated 6,000 acres.
The total Payette fire. area
spread to 24,000 acres. An addi
tional 125 men were being added
to the 1,700 attempting to check
the flames. Two of the main fires
were under control.
The outlook in the Black Hills
of South Dakota was promising.
Rangers looked for favorable
winds to blow the flames back
over burned out areas. An esti
mated 5,000 acres of timberland
and 10,000 acres of grassland
were hit.
Backfires saved Tilford, a
South Dakota village of 100 pop
ulation, from destruction yester
day.
About a dozen forest fires still
were burning in New England but
none was reported as serious.
Scattered showers fell over
New England yesterday but there
was not enough rain to alleviate
the dangerous parched condition
of the land.
Worst of Eight Fires
Maine Forest Commissioner Al
bert D. Nutting said the worst of
eight fires burning in his state
was in the Flagstaff-Dead River
area.
Heavy rains also fell in the
devastated Yellowstone Park area.
Officials believe all four fires
there may be controlied within a
day or two,
Plans were being made to cut
the fire fighting crews, provid
ing favorable weather conditions
continue. , .
In Canada, the Ontario Depart
ment of Lands and Forests re
ported all that province's 151
fires were untr control. No ef
fective relief Iromr the current
dry spell was forecast, however.
A cool damp night brought
some relief in Quebec’s most ser
ious outbreak in Lotbiniere coun
ty. Flames have already taken a
small toll in buildings but the six
towns scattered throughout a’ 40-
mile square area are no longer
considered in danger. |,
Approximately 1,600 men con
tinued working against a huge
brush fire in North San Diego
county in California. It has<cov
ered 6,500 acres in the last three
days. Two major outbreaks yes
terday were partally contrelled.
The first iron object made in
