Lewis, chairman of Women's Activities on General Ernest Vandiver’s staff. Mrs. W. R. Antley, director of women'’s activi Day inThe Lifeof Civil Defense Director “An average day in the life of Athens’ Civil Defense Director?” Mrs. Harold Hodgson, who has ef fectively ccordinated Civil De fense activities here since her ap pointment by Major Jack R. Wells, will attest to the fact that the life of such a director is “hectic but gratifying.” Mrs. Hodgsons picked Thursday of last week as an average one and related to the Banner-Herald the way in which her time was spent. From 8:30 to 9:30 the Civil Defense Director began her day with one of woman's most pleas ant duties: getting “set” at the beauty parlor for Frank Wiegand’s wedding the next day. Mrs. Hodg son attended the nuptials at Gainesville. On the run from the beauty par lor, she remembered that Mrs. W, R. Antley was broadcasting with Mary Ann Martin at 9:45 about women’s activities in Civil De fense. Naturally, she hurried to the nearest radio and reports that the program was excellent. Resuming business, Mrs. Hodgson went out to the City- County Health Department to make further plans for the health course which will be offered at the center in connection with Ci vil Defense. After picking up photos for the Civil Defense picture display which she was planning for the window of Citizens and Southern National Bank, Mrs. Hodgson had a brief talk with Allen Smith, City Treasurer, about Civil De fense finances—or as she would say, “the lack nf finances.” 4 Some time was spent determin ing what pictures to use in the bank window display. Since most of the pictures of local activities are in the State Office of Civil Defense being reprinted for reuse, Mrs. Hodgson decided to use pic tures of the Rescue School at Ol ney, Maryland. Athenians will remember that Miss Rebecca Fowler attended that school. A call was also ‘paid to W. D. Deßeaugrine, manager of District ties locally, and , Dean William Tate, deputy director of Civil Defense, are also shown. The meeting of these Civil De fense leaders took place in City-County Health Center., — (Photo by Arnett’s Studio.) Employment Agency, who is also on Governor Talmadge's Civil De fense Advisory Council, Mr., De- Beaugrine offered Mrs, Hodgson assistance of the DAV to the local Civil Defense effort. Mrs. E. N. Sayer, an employment agency worker, connected with the DAV Auxiliary, offered the services of her group for Civil Defense train ing. More Help Offered “Well, well, two more organiza tions have joined the ranks.” Mentioning that she had writ ten a report of local Civil Defense work which she hoped to get mimeographed, Mrs. Hodgson was delighted when Mr. Deßeaugrine called Routson Business College and revealed that the college: would mimeograph the report for her. Still a housewife in addition to her other duties, Mrs. Hodgson prepared lunch and followed her habit of lunching in the living room while she watched a favorite television show. Surprises were still in store for her and one was sitting on her desk when she walked into City Hall. Mrs. Hodgson wishes to express appreciation to the mayor and treasurer for the wonderful new typewriter which she found on her desk. “I can leave my lit tle portable at home now,” she exulted. Conference, telephone calls, and the arrangement of the Defense display for the bank window took early afternoon time. Mr. Watter son and Mr, Wickliffe approved the display and helped set it up for passerby to exanrine. Plane Spotters Getting a film to show the Ath ens High School Airplane Spot ters Club on Friday was another task that Mrs. Hodgson got out of the way Thursday afternoon. She termed Mrs. Claude Chance as very “cooperative” and was pleased to find that the film which would be shown to three schools, AHS, Barrow, ana Catholice School) cost only fifty cents. An offer to teach the Civil De fense Director how to operate a movie projector was made by Cur tis Jaymes Mrs. Hodgson said that the offer was accepted with alacrity as she hopes that Athens will one day have a machine for Civil Defense use as well as for us in teaching traffic regulations. Always plugging Civil Defense, Mrs. Hodgson secured another recruit in the form of Mr. Jaymes who has done four, years work in rescue operations while in the United States Navy, A half-hour of what Mrs. Hodg son calls “scientific relaxation” completely revived her and she was ready and on time at the En tre Nous dinner meeting by 6:30. Mrs. Margret Timm was praised by Civil Defense Director for her leadership of the group. Mrs. Timm urged members to support 'the Blood Bank in February and to give blood for Military and Di v W\ AL G e %§ 3 > ?

On taxes, some sentiment has developed for an early reduction of the levies on personal income. But the question is tied closely to the question of balancing the national budget.

Southern Bell in 1952 provided $23,600,000 worth of additional facilities in Georgia, making a total of $145,000,000 spent in the state since World War 11. Rural Telephones “In addition to providing tele phone to residents in Georgia cities and towns, Southern Bell has installed many rural tele phones throughout the state,” Mr. Massey said. “During the past year, we have added 12,000 rural telephones in Georgia at a cost of approximately $2,000,000. Mr. Massey pointed out that Southern Bell is aware that in spite of the tremendous expansion program in Georgia, there are still mgny persons wait ing for telephone service. “Due to the rapid growth of this re gion,” he added, “we still receive heavy demands for telephone ser vice. We are working hard to meet all service needs, both civi lian and military. As we enter the new year, we are confident that telephone service will con tinue to play an increasingly im portant role in the economic and social life of the state.” The value of pi, the relationship of the diameter to the circumfer ence of a circle, has been ecal culated to 2040 decimal places through 70 hours’ work on an electronie computing macine. - ‘ B nNLINE FOR SCRATCHES.
