ATLANTA, March 24—(AP)—
The president of Home Stores, a
Chattanooga, Tenn., grocery chain
operating branches in Georgia, re
ported it has settled a $433,725
Georgia tax suit for £11,300.
“Until this suit was filed,” said
president Roy McDonald of Chat
tanooga, “we had every reason to
believe we were paying every tax
for which we were liable. The first
demand made upon us for Geor
gia .income taxes and corporate
filing fee taxes was contained in
the suit.
“We now believe that All of our
taxes are paid and that all of our
prices violate no laws. But how
can we know?"
Settlement of the suit, filed at
Lafayette in Walker county, was
first announced by Hardeman
Blackshear, assistant Georgia at
toney general.
Blackshear said the chain had
asreed to pay all taxes, penalties
and interest due and to qualify

missioner Charles D, Redwine sald
how much money was involved
in the settlement, but McDonald
disclosed that it was only a small

Blackshear said also Home
Stores agreed not to send any more
Tennessee milk in the state, an
early point of friction between the
chain and inspectors of the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture De

his stores violated any laws in the
inter-state sale of milk. |
All involved in the action are
scheduled to appear in superior
court at Lafayette next week and
ask that the suit be dismissed,

“My RNusband and Mrs. Mary

when it hit,” Mrs. Meacham said.
“They hunkered down behind a
counter first, then they got in the
vault.”
The Ruge vault withstood the
impact when all four brick walls
gave way and ceiling plumeted

While the salvage crew contin

asked if they would rebuild.
“I don’t know,” she replied.

/ The Georgia Poultry Federauon,
jusing liberally suggestions from
lall corners of the poultry industry,
[ has come up with 12 recommenda
| tions on the Department of Agri
| culture’s price reporting service—
recommendations designed to
'make the market reports more
useful to poultrymen in the Ath
ens area,
The recommendations came
from the Federation’s Marketing
' Committee, under H. M. Morris, of
Athens, and the Board of Direc
| tors, after complaints from the in
| dustry weer weighed and confer
"cnz'cs held with the Atlanta price |
: reporter, |
| Generally, the recommendations
ask for the market report to in
clude the previous day's transac
tions, plus and trends or actual
sales developed in the morning
trading on the day of the report,
according to' S. W. Draper of
Winder, president of the GPF.
The group goes on to recom
mend that any serious deviations
from the normal, or market ex
tremes, should be explained, When
the overall market spread is one
cent or less, no further informra
tion is necessary. It was generally
agreed that the controversial word
“mostly” is not necessary so long
as the market report is accurate
and complete, .
Data gathered by the reporter,
the Federation recommended,
should also be weighed in view of
the head count of various prices,
and reports should be made on
farm prices only,

You guessed it. The circus is
coming, and it’s not just one of
those ordinary affairs but one of
the two largest in the world float
ing the gonfalon of the huge King
Bros. and Cristiani Combined Cir
cus, coming to Athens, Monday,
April 7, for afternoon and night
performances at Fair grounds un
der the auspices of Shrine Club.
And that isn’t all. The big show
is bringing along a real old-fash
ioned circus parade which will be
presented on the downtown streets
show day morning.
After a lapse of over 20 years,
the great American treat will
again thrill youngsters of all ages
as it passes in review-—the in
augural event of circus day just
as in the days of long ago.
The number one advertising car,
with twenty billposters, litho
graphers and bannermen, arrived
early today and began their huge
task of heralding the coming of
the big show. And slong with
them came the show’s first press
agent, Earl DeGlopper, who is a
living encyclopedia of facts about
the circus and boasts with pride
that this year’s show is the best
in all the King Bros. and Cristiani J

NEW YORK —(NEA)-— There
was this rich kid lived up on Park
Avenue, Only 15 years old and
had so much dough he didn't
know what to do with it. Had so
much he wouldn’t go to school.
His daddy had lots of money,
too. Had an office down around
Wall Street and every day the
same taxi driver picked him up
at home and drove him to the
office.
This cabby was a character.
Talked out of the corner of his
mouth and everything, Right out
of Damon Runyon.
The daddy and the cabby got
so they talked about this and that
as they rode downtown every
morning. One day the daddy told
the cabby he was worried about
his son. Wouldn’t go to school.
- * k 3
The cabby said to the daddy
why don’t you hire me to watch
out after the boy. Fifty dollars a
week. I'll see he goes to school
see? I'm great with kids.
He was great, all right.
Soon as the cabby took over,
the boy began showing up at
school even less than before, if
you can imagine it. The pair of
them went every place but school.
The cabby knew a good thing
when he saw it, and his vision
was 20-20. :
The cabby and the boy would
start for school in the taxi in the
morning and the cabby would say
before you start studying your
Greek today let's drop over to a
Greek’s I know and get a cuppa
cawfee.
* * *
So they'd get the coffee, over
around Times Square, The taxi
driver character would introduce
the boy to some other characters.
Like chorus girls. And horse
players.
Everybody liked the boy fine.
Who wouldn’'t? Under the spell of
a chorus girl, the boy would acci
dentally drop more money on the
floor while fumbling® for the cof
fee money than most of the char-

Yes, the circus is coming in all

of star features reads like “Who's

world renowned Cristiani Family

featuring Lucio Cristiani, the
greatest riding comedian of all
times, the roster includes such out
standing features as Zacchini, the
human-cannonball—the man who
is shot from a giant cannon more
than 220 feet; the Great Barragan,
aerial sensation, Truzzi, the jug
gling wizard from Australia; the
breath-taking Chamberty Troupe,
flying-return stars; the Ortans
Troupe, teeter-board acrobats,
featuring Ortans, spangleland’s
greatest lady acrobat; the Benson
Troupe, comedy aerial-bar per
formers and more than 100 others,
not forgetting the 15 performing
elephants, the horse and pony dis
plays, 20 furiously funny clowns,
animal acts and the scores of ring
and track displays. Two and one
half hours of circus replete with
everything one could hope to see
in a real old-tlme circus perfor=-
