Three Bethlehem Men Make Narrow Escape From Swollen Stream After the heavy .downpour of last Wednesday night, while on their way from Winder back to their homes at Bethlehem, three Bethlehem citizens in the person of Mr. Emory S. Harris. Mr. Coleman Treadwell and Mr. Luther Holloway, came very near losing their lives at the bridge that spans a small stream just beyond Bethlehem. Neither tile foundation of the bridge nor the bridge were effected by the high wa ters. but on the north side of the bridge there was a considerable washout, into which the automobile in which these gentlemen were riding ran, and it is said that but for the four feet of swift water that kinder kept the machine from striking hard against the rock wall, the result would have, no doubt, been fatal for every one.As it was. Mr. Harris suffered the dislocation of his te-.-tli and his neck was considerably wrenched. Mr. Treadwell had several ribs jerked out of place and Mr. Hol loway was injured all over iiis body, more or less. The news came from Bethlehem Sunday that Mr. Holloway, it was feared, had developed pneumon ia. Mr. Harris, although quite shaken nn and injured, was seen in Winder last Saturday. The News, ab ng with the friends of these gentlemen scattered throughout •ill this section, is rejoiced that they came out as well as they did. The Economy Store Big Bankrupt Sale Goes On Mr. H. Silverstein. manager of the Economy Stove, stated to a News man to-day. that his big Bankrupt stock which was placed on sale last week, is going like hot doughnuts. He added : “It is easy to sell goods when you put. the prices down right.” This sale will continue and the Economy Store wd vertlsement will l>e found elsewhere in this issue. Possibly one reason for this store selling goods at the prices they do. is tiie fact that they bought these goods at a very low price. ~f Directors of the company, of date of April. 12, 1922.

BUSINESS BOOMING FORD CARS SCARCE If for no other reason than to leant that general business conditions have improved by leaps and bounds within the past six weeks you will be interest ed in knowing that there is now a very acute shortage of Ford products —cars, trucks and tractors. It has been popu lar opinion for quite a while that any one of these three could be bought at any time wanted but unless tlit* reason for the shortage can he impressed and the way out of it, lots of people will go without these products for months to come. There has been an exceptionally mild winter in the North and the buying season there has opened sixty days earlier than usual. Practically tlie same is true of the West. These sec tions must be supplied as well as oth ers. It has rained almost incessantly in the South since January first and the selling season is over a month late. Consequently, with most of the coun try ahead of its season and with our section behind on account of climatic conditions, it is very evident that pro ducts are not to he had because they were not ordered. When the break did come, orders literally swamped tlie At lanta Branch which supplies this ter ritory. These orders must be filled from Detroit and even with the facto ry running full capacity, a thirty-day or six weeks' shortage can not be built over night. Human nature is human nature any where. Let it he found that a pro duct is plentiful and it is not wanted. Let it become scarce and demand far exceeds supply. This is exactly the situatb n with us. Ford builds many types of cars —it. is their strong desire to give the public wlmt they want when they wan* it. but they cannot do so without your co-operation. King Motor Cos. have sold all cars and tractors in stock. So if you want delivery soon you must place your or der.

SARA JOE ROBERTS GETS FIRST PRIZE OFFERED BY BANK Artis Howell Wins Second anil Irene Maynard, Third, in Washington Essay Contest Offered by the Winder National Bank According to the word of the judges chosen to select the winners of the prize essay contest* limited to the children of our public schools under eighteen, < it has been no easy task to arrive at conclusions.

Winder Higli School Artis Howell, winner of the second prize—ss.oo. Winder Public School. Irene Maynard, Winder, Ga., R. F. I>. winner the third prize—$3.00. Winder Public School.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DOING A GREAT SERVICE The different trade organizations throughout the state are receiving more consideration just at this time than ever before in the history of these bod ies. The Barrow County Chamber of Commerce is anew organization and all of our people should lie interested in the work it is doing. The following article taken from the Savannah Morn ing News eonceitntng the Savannah Board of Trade is applicable to Win der and Barrow county. It is written by Dan Bickers, a north Georgia boy, and one of the best writers in the state. Read it and put Barrow coun ty wherever Savannah occurs: . Here is the big point about the Board of Trade. It does work that without it would not he done. Furthermore, it is work that either must lie done or else Savannah will not grow as she should, will lie treated unfairly in va rious ways, will fail to seize opportu nities for spreading out industrially and in every other way. j All of us want Savannah to grow. Consider the merchant. He knows that to bring anew factory here means to Increase the amount of money availa ble to make retail purchases. Consider the railroad: It knows that the bigger Savannah is, the more people in Sa vannah. the more passenger and freight business it will do. Consider the minis ter: He knows that the more people here, the- more opportunity the churches will have here to grow, to reach peo ole in a favorable community. Consid er the doctor and the lawyer: They know that as the number of persons here Increases, the number of their cli ents and patients is likely to Increase. Consider the man who works by the day, whether clerk or hand worker: He knows that as more factories and stores come here, the more demand for tiis services there will lie and the more opportunities for him to advance. Con sider the real estate man and rental agent and owner of property: They know that as more people come, the greater will lie tho demand for houses to live in, for store building, and the more valuable land and buildings will become.

NEXT SUNDAY V, EASTER SUNDAI THE OLDEST OF CHRISTIAN FES TIVALS.—ANTEDATES CHRISTMAS j l IT is interesting to note that Eastei is the oldest of all the festivals inj the Christian calendar. It eveift ante-dates the observance of Christinas;! for while Easter has been observed* from the very foundation of Christian- 1 ity over eighteen hundred years ago, it l \yas not until the fourth century of the modern era that Christmiiß began* to t>e celebrated us the natal day of* Jesus of Nazareth. 'a Probably one of the most interacting l facts in connection with Easter is that r its origin-dates back to the old Jewish Feast of the Passover. 1 “The first Christians being derived * from nr intimately connected with the Jewish Church,” says a Church histo- | rian, “naturally continued to observe tlie Jewish festival, though in anew spirit, as conimmemorative of events of which those had been shadows. The Passover, ennobled by the thought of Christmas tlie true Paschal l4iml>, the first fruits from the dead, continued to lie celebrated ami became the Chris tian Easier.” But while Easter is a dbnfinuntlon in Christian form of the Jewish Passover, arly differences arose as to the pre •ie day on which the Easter Festival, should he observed. In the Jewish Faith tlie Passover occurs on a fixed lay of the month, whereas the Qhrtui- ' •m believers from the earliest days assigned tlie Easter Festival to a fixed day of the week, namely: Sunday, that being the first duy of the week, aud the day, according to scripture, upon which Christ rose from the dead. These differences, due largely to as tronomical problems of a confusing character, continued until the yeitr 325 wheji, at the Council of Nicea, it was decreed that everywhere in Cn.Weir doni Easter should lie celebrated oil the same day. It was not, however, until the adoption of the Gregorian cal endar in 1582 that tiiis decree secured general acceptance; and even to this day in tlie churches, where the Grego lan calendar has not been accepted, Easter falls sometimes before and sometime's after the date on which the festival is celebrated by the western churches. J As Easter Sunday thus heoqmes a fixed festival in the Christian calendar so likewise, throughput Christendom, with tiie exceptions noted, ns it decreed that Good Friday, commemorative of the day of the Crucifixion, shH he ob served on the Friday immediately pre ceding the Festival preceding the Fes tival of Easter. Increasing importance has been attached by Christian c<* in unities in later years to Long or Go or Great or God’s Friday. It is proha' as the day on which Christ offered his life for the redemption of the wori . the most sacred and solemn of the Christian year. In the catholic church es on that day the altars are stripped of all decorations; except the Cross, which is veiled in black; the hangings are all black, and the day is given over to prayer and meditation. The note of sadness and solemnity has found its way even into secular affairs, many* of jjhe States of the Union having mado it a legal holiday. The custom of cele brating the day is involved in obseeu- , rlty; though from the earliest times: every Friday among some religious de nominations lias been observed as a Fust Day, ns every Sunday has been a Feast I>y. 'and the connection be tween tiie one as marking the day of the Crucifixion and the other as mark ing tiie day of the Resurrection, is eas ily traced. Christmas again comes into juxta position wj*h Piaster inasmuch as the* two signalize the great outstanding facts in the Christian faith—the Birth and the Resurrection. The intimate connection between Easter, the day of Resurrection, and the awakening to life of tiie earth after the passage of winter, gives the festival a significance out of which has grown the diverse forms of observance of tiie day whirls carry it beyond its initial religions meaning, but without detracting from it. According to the Venerable Bede, the dav fakes its name from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of the rising lights of day and spring. FATTY ARBUCKLE IS A FREE MAN V.
