CHRISTMAS ON SUNDAY
AGAIN IN YEAR 1932
Christmas will fali on Sunday
again in 1932. Owing to leap year,
which causes the calendar to slip
a cog now and then, Christmas will
tall or. Tuesday in 1928. Leap year
occurs in 1928 and again in 1932.
So twice within a period of five
years Christmas day will fall on Sun
day, which is somewhat unusual.

EGG CAR WILL BE RUN
TO BOOST INDUSTRY
Atlanta, Ga. —Operation of .. .
up egg cars weekly on the -. t j
plan that the poultry cars are new
being run, whereby Georgia pcuß
trymen will be able to sell their™
eggs at stated dates and at their
home town, is soon to be* tried out
in Georgia, it is announced by- the
S:a*e Bureau of Markets.
Decision to give egg cars a
out was made at a meeting he •
the State College of Agriculture,
at Athens, which was attendee _y
County Agents, Agricultural ac.r.ts j
of several railroads and by a rep
resentative of the Bureau of Mar
kets.
The new standard of grading re
cently adopted by the State Collc-s*
of Agriculture and the Bureau of
Markets wlil prevail in purchasing
the eggs, which will be handled k
eally by the county* agent or a ;
mittee of local citizens. A repre
sentative of the Bureau of Market!
v.ill acc-ontpar.y the cars, it is statei.
It is stated that these cars will
be operated first in northeast Geor

cars have proven highly satisfactory
in Georgia,” C. H. Bishop of the

it is believed that the installatioa
of the egg cars will serve to further
stimulate the already growing poul
try and egg industry in Georgia.”

counties or school districts for the
transportation of children to and
from school are exempt from the
state license tax on automobiles,
-Attorney General George M. Xapier
ruled Saturday. The question was
propounded by Newton county of
ficials.
The attorney general held that
school buses are in reality agencies

cut of funds for school purposes,
and there would be no advantage
in taking money out of one staiLfe
department and turning in into arc
Other department.
The Georgia Legislature, in
amending the motor vehicle law.
made special provision exempting!
automobiles from the license fee,
by* counties where they were operat
ed by counties for highway con
