Editor
Dear Sir:
After reading several articles in
vour newspaper about the Athens
Regional Library, I paid a visit
to that institution and would like
to add my words of praise to the
things brought out in your arti
.o,
“here iz provided at the library
8 quiet and friendly atmosphere
in which study and reading is a
pleasure and not a chore. The staff
is friendly and cooperative in
helping patrons to find needed in
formation.
"“he book collection is certainly
acequate with handy files for
finding whatever volumn is need
ed by the reader.
" am writing this letter in the
hcoe that other persons will take
the opportunity of using the fa
cilities which are afforded at the
Jocal fbraryv. The books and ref
erence which are there for the
pißlic are well-worth perusal.
Sincerely,

“Clearly.” said Martin, “a whole
alien philosophy of government is
being propounded which would
scrap all precedents, all legal
teachings, and 163 years of basic
tradition in America.”
Truman’s three-page, 1,500~

and built in France by Prof. E.

quantity cf heat in bacteria.
IMPROVEMENT?
When the citizens of Athens go to the polls on
Tuesday, April 29th, their votes will decide the
question of the $175,000.00 bond issue. Of this
amount $125,000.00 would be for schools and
$50,000.00 for street improvement. Just what does
this latter entail ?
The City wants a 52 foot right of way from Mil
ledge Avenue on Baxter Street to Rock Spring {
Street. Council voted 5 to 5, with the Mayor break
ing the tie. This will be a four lane street (9 feet
each lane), 3 feet of grass plots and 5 feet of side
walks on each side, eventually. ;
. The 52 foot right of way will bring the line half
way through the sidewalk steps of the corner prop
erty at Milledge Avenue, take off most of the side
yard and four large trees, shrubbery, etc. Then it
will widen to a 17 foot cut in the garden property,
continuing the same depth through the lawn of the
second home property. Will the street bonds pay
for all this unwarranted destruction?
Other paving widths are: On Baxter Street from
Milledge Avenue to Lumpkin Street, 30 feet wide,
Milledge Avenue at the corner of Baxter is 34 feet
wide, Lumpkin near the University is 36 feet. By
inserting the word “coincide” with the opposite
corner of Milledge Avenue at Baxter Street, the
Baxter Street center to Rock Spring was changed
and the damazs will be thrown almost entirely on
one side. : _;;.
There is talk of continuing this street through
the dead end of Baxter Street at Rock Spring across
the Alps Road to join the Atlanta highway. Just
recently efforts were again remewed to purchase
the pecan grove and its property as an opening for
this extension. Think of the trailer and gasoline
trucks being diverted from the Atlanta highway
right past the school children. Think of what this
will also mean at Milledge Avenue when mixed
with the already conglomerate traffic and Route
129.
The 52 foot right of way is planned, too, for Rock
Spring Street from Springdale to Broad, but this
involves the moving of twelve houses. Think of this
undertaking!
Who really requested these two highways by the
~ schools? And if the right of way on Baxter and
Rock Spring is to be CUT and NOT PAVED, we
will have more red banks, red mud, and red dust.
Will the bonds pay for all this extra width of paving
on both Baxter and Rock Spring Street?
Will the cutting and extreme width of Baxter
and Rock Spring be a repetition of what occurred
at the entrance to the High School grounds? There,
a 20 foot red bank stands by the side of the Kappa
Alpha Theta Sorority as a reminder of the recently
awarded $5,000.00 damage suit.
If all of this street improvement fund is spent on
Baxter and Rock Spring, will it not stop all other
street work for years to cgme?
There appears to be an aggressiveness of action
and ruthlessness of purpose which tends to destroy
civil liberties and property values. Does this
strengthen life and security?
When you vote, let your conscience b& your
guide.

dous developments in the pro
gram, Miss Creswell says, “The
beginnings of home demonstra
tion work seem long ago and far
away, so great have been the de
velopments through the 40 odd
years. The approach to home
demonstration work at that time
was simple and direct. There was
the boll weevil which had already
called for a revolution in cotton
belt farming. It was natural to
add activities for girls to the ex
isting program for men and boys.”
Miss Creswell began working
with farm women in Georgia in
1911 when canning clubs were or
ganized in four counties. “It was
easy,” she explains in reviewing
this beginning, “to move from the
garden and poultry yard into the
kitchen, to plan work to enrich
the diet, to make and buy labor
‘ saving equipment and to improve
~manitary conditions.” 5
Club Work
Two years after her beginning
in Extension work in Georgia,
Miss Creswell went to Washington
to become a leader of girls can
ning club work covering 13 South
ern States. “It was thrilling to
watch the steady development in
improved rural living through the
unified efforts of the farm fami
ly,” she remembers. “I remember
a farmer’s pride in the 3,000 cans
of fruits and vegetabics he helped
his daughter produce. Ztanding by
her canning exhibit at the county
fair he had pointed out that the
boll weevil could never get inside
those cans and that his family
would be sure to have plenty to
eat.”
Miss Creswell doesn’t remem
ber just how the name home dem
onstration work came about. “It
just seemed like a logical, simple
term to use,” she explains.
