- Athens Greatest Fair - All This Week
lin, Joe Brown Conally Chapter
No. 2
Arriving on the eve of the open
ing of the Forget-Me-Not cam
paign, Adjutant Corbly’s -mes
sage stressed the importance of the
day of remembrance this year.
“We have now reached a period
when the public is apt to take the
disabled veteran for granted,” the
message stated. “Many persons
mistakenly believe that the dis
abled veteran is well cared for
and they can forget him.”
“But it must always be kept
uppermost in the mind of the pub
lic that time goes on the ills
of disabled veterans increase. The
numbers of disabled veterans in
crease. Korea has added a large
number of our ranks. At the same
time the facilities to properly care
for disabled veterans are likely
to decrease and concern for the
disabled veteran is likely to fade
from the public mind.
“That is why it is important that
everyone purchase and wear in his
button hole the little blue flower
of remembrance on Forget-Me
' Not day.” :
Commander Courtney Spratlin
| said all funds from the sale of the
flowers will be used locally to
aid disabled veterans in need, or
dependents of disabled veterans.
Wheeler Lists
Advatanges Of
Eqg Producfion
“Records show that two hours
of work per day with a laying
flock of 500 hens should result in
SI,OOO cash income per year,” Dr.
Robert S. Wheeler, chairman of
the University of Georgia poultry
division, said today.
He called attention to a series
of 15 educational leaflets being
issued by the College of Agricul
ture during the next few weeks
encouraging egg production in
Georgia and giving suggestions for
carrying out such a project.
Georgians spend $25,000,000
each year bringing eggs into this
state, and farmers here could have
this additional amount for income
if these eggs were produced at
home.
“There is a strong demand for
all the superior eggs we can pro
duce,” Wheeler said, “and we need
3,000,000 additional laying hens
in the state to produce eggs for
our needs.”
Twice the number of hens now
on farms is needed to supply the
Southeastern Region. There is a
ready market for $100,000,000
worth of eggs each year in this
section of the country, and the
pooulation is increasing.
Wheeler explaned that a flock
of 500 laving pullets should pro
duce $4,000 worth of eggs and the
hens should bring about S7OO when
sold as meat. After deducting feed
coasts, the average net income per
laying year is at least $2 per bird
or a total of SI,OOO for a 500-bird
flock. These are minimum figures
—many poultrymen make twice
as much profit.
A commerical-size flock pays
more money to the farmer and
makes it possible for him to get
eggs to the market while they are
still fresh, Wheeler warned. “No
more labor is required for 500
pullets than is necessary to care
for 50 birds,” he said.
The first of the college educa
tional leaflets is now in the hands
of county agents, feed dealers and
others interested in poultry pro
duction, and distribution is being
made to farmers interested in
egg loying flocks.

Three Year Old
Shoots Mother,
Kills Brother
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22—(AP)
Police Officer Andrew J. Bacquet,
32, was attending a western movie
at a drive-in theater with his
family,
The roar of the cowboy-actors
guns was deafening. Suddenly
Bacquet's wife stumbled from the
rear seat moaning:
“The baby’s dead—l'm hurt.”
Bacquet’s 3-year-old son, Ron
ald, had climbed back into the
rear seat of the car and found his
father’s service revolver. Holding
it in both hands, he pulled the
trigger. 7
The bullet passed through the
neck of his 4-month-old brother
Mark and lodged in his mother’s
abdomen. The baby was dead on
arrival at a hospital. Mrs. Bac
quet was in critical condition.
Bacquet told fellow officers
early yesterday that he had been
sitting in the front seat with Ron
ald. His wife was in the rear
holding the baby in her arms. Ab
sorbed in the drama on the screen,
the parents did not notice Ronald
climb to the rear. - A_
Bacquet said he had placed the
gun in its holster on the floor of
the rear seat for safekeeping. The
first he knew of the shooting, he
said, was when his wife stumbled
from the car. The noise of the
movie gunfire had drowned out
the sound of the shot in the car.
Los Angeles police officers are
required to be armed even when
off duty. Bacquet said he had al
ways taken extra safety measures
with his gun because of the chil
dren.
“You take all these precautions,”
he said, “and then it happens. Al
your plans for your child go out
the window.”

tudes and methods of banking un
derwent great changes to meet the
modern. day needs.
He served in various official ca
pacities in the bank and in his
later years was Cashier, Vice-
President, and a Director of the
bank. His health began to fail and
illness forced him to retire from
his active banking activities in
February of 1950.
In January of 1951 he was offi
cially retired with the titles of
Director and Inactive Vice-Presi
dent.
During the long period of his
residence here, Mr. Bird drew
countless friends and admirers by
his unblemished character, his un
questioned integrity, both in per
sonal dealings and in his business
life, and by a warny, friendly na
ture and keen sense of humor,
He was always the essence of
courtesy and good breeding and
his manner was just as cordial
when discussing problems of peo
ple of modest means as it was
when conferring with leaders in
business and financial circles.
Civie-Minded
Mr. Bird took a very keen in
terest in Athens and this section
and while never one to seek the
spotlight of attention, he could
always be found in the forefront
of all movements intended to
develop and improve this commu
nity, aiding with his quiet words
of advice, encouragement and in
spiration.
In the death of Mr, Bird, Athens
loses another of its citizens who
have done much for this city. He
accepted the privileges of citizen
ship full knowing the true respon=
sibilities thereto attached and he
never failed to discharge those re
sponsibilities literally and fully.
He will be greatly missed not
alone by his family and relatives,
but by a host of friends who so
greatly valued his comradeship,
and by a community generally
which will find it indeed difficult
to replace him.

5 and half feet of water. The en
tire tank into which Captain
Jamerson will dive is only 12 feet
wide.
High Diver
Captain Jameson, who is a vet
eran of both World Wars, is one of
the few remaining high divers in
this country. He takes his title in
the show from his raling in the
US Navy.
Captain Jameson has recently
returned from FEurope where he
performed for thre years before
much of the world’s royalty.
Sam Prell, owner of the show,
sated that he considered Captain
Jimmy one of the most daring and
spectacular stars in the show
world of today. The second of the
free acts features “Two Stars and
A Moon”. This act is also per
formed from giddy heights.
One of the acrobats in that act
suspends himself in mid-air by his
teeth. A series of acrobatic gyrr
tions will be performed by the
three space people and will be a
source of, “happy horror” to all
the on-lookers.
There will be the usual array
of rides for both grown-ups and
children but more of every type
will be on hand.
A total of 13 rides for grown
ups and eight for the kiddies, in
cluding a miniature roller coaster
just like the one at Coney Island
are ready to begin operation at 6
tonight.
Ponies, dark rides, giant ferris
wheels, the little dipper, and
countless other rides to either
soothe or thrill round-out the rides.

“Chorus Cuties” doing beautiful
dances and songs. gt E
An even bigger collection of
animals is to be show here this

ed individuals. These snakes in
clude rattlers on up to the huge
jungle python.
The side-shows will be high

agreement. The MP force will
consist of two officers and 15 men
from each side when the confer
ence is in session; one officer and
five men from each side at other
times.
“The military police,” the agree
'ment stipulates, “shall carry only
'small arms, namely pistols, rifles
L and carbines.”
Final Point
| Last point to be ironed out was
whether Allied planes should be
permitted to fly over the areas.
A compromise was reached pro
viding Allied planes would avoid
the areas “insofar as practicable.”
The U, N. Command said it
would install beacon searchlights
and anchored balloons as naviga
tion aids to keep Allied pilots
away from the protected zones.
Along with his ratification Joy
sent the Communists folr signed
copies of the liaison agreement —
two in English and two in Korean.
He wrote Nam Il:
“On the day following receipt
by me of such (similar) accept
ance by you, the United Nations
command delegation is prepared
to meet your delegation as tenta
tively arranged by the liaison of
ficers, at Panmunjom at 11 a. m,
for the purpose of resuming dis
cussion of agenda Item 2 of the
Military Armistice Conference.”
Item Two calls for establishing!
a buffer zone across Korea. It is
the first item of the armistice
agreement negotiators have dis
cussed. Item one was the agenda
for the talks. |
The Reds have insisted the
cease-fire line be drawn along the
28th parallel, old political boun
dary between North and South
Korea.
The U. N. command insists it be
based on the battle line, and leave
Allied troops in defensible posi
tions relatively safe from possible
surprise attack. Gen. Maithew B.
Ridgway, U. N. supreme com
mander, said the Allied demand
would move north as the front
moves north. ‘
U. N. infantrymen have pushed
their line from three to 12 miles
farther north during the two
month break in negotiations. The
front now runs from south of the
38th parallel on the west, to 45
miles north of the parallel on the
east coast. For 70 miles the lines
are roughly 20 to 30 miles north
of the parallel.

LUTHER GLASS
« « « Drive Leader Here
Luther W. Glass, general man
ager of Mallison Braided Cord
Mill, has been appointed by the
National Production Authority as
chairman of the scrap metal pro
gram in Clarke County. Heavy
scrap metal is greatly needed in
order to keep steel production go
ing.
A warning to Athens that it
must eooperate in the current na
tion-wide program to ferret out
dormant iron and steel scrap to
help alleviate the nation’s present
shortage of steel or its own econo
my may be adversely affected was
received here from Merrill C.
Lofton, regional director of the
U. S. Department of Commerce in
Atlanta, and was supported by
Mr. Glass, Clarke program chair
man.
The warning came as Georgia
began participation in a month’s
“harvest” campaign to get farm
ers in the State to uncover old
plows, harrows, tractors and other
farm implements not being used
and get them into the hands of
scrap dealers for conversion into
steel for use in the national pro
gram of defense and maintenance
of the nation’s productive capaci
ty.
Cooperative Drive
'The U. S. Department of Agri
culture’s State Agricultural Com
mittee, Agricultural Extension
Service and county agricultural
mobilization committees are co
operating in the farm drive.
“Every effort has been made to
get chambers of commerce, may
ors and other civic officials behind
this important program,” Mr. Lof
ton said. “To date, most of the
larger cities have appointed co
operating committees, but in many
of the smaller cities and towns no
committees have been designated.
In Athens a committee has been
formed under the cahirmanship of
Luther Glass. Meanwhile, a dis
stress situation prevails in our
steel mills in filling orders for our
defense program, and ultimately
unless something is done to relieve
the situation there will be a seri
ous shortage of consumer goods
that it undoubtedly will be felt
all along the line in Athens.”
Mr. Lofton emphasized that the
program is not a house-to-house
pots and pans campaign, and that
it is being directed only at indus
trial firms, automobile wrecking
concerns, and farmers in an effort
to get them to move into normal
channels every piece of scrap iron
and steel lying dormant.
