Influenza has been epidemic in
the county since the Christmas holi
days. Physicians say the disease is
in milder form than the epidemic
that swept the country in 1918.
Reports from over the state and
nation show many schools have clos-
ed arid that army camps have been
hard bit because of the outbreak.
Physicians and health authorities
are giving methods for preventing
and combating influenza. Among
the methods suggested are to stay
out of crowds, keep in good physi
ea condition and go to bed at the
first signs of the disease.

477 in all, received benefit pay
ments of $2,000 or more under the

late and house agriculture eommit

These upper-bracket payees re
ceived a total of $813,760. This fig
ure is far short of the total pay

The report of Secretary Wickard
showed that 93 per cent of the par
ticipants earned payments of less
than S2OO.
The list of payees included par
ticipants in the agricultural conser
vation program, the range conser
vation program and the naval stores
conservation program. It does not
include parity payments.
Three of the Georgia payments
were for more than $7,000. They

“ESCAPE,” “QUARTERBAC K,’ ’
MOON OVER BURMA” MAKE
UP BIG THREE AT DIXIE
NEXT WEEK
Double-feature day at the Dixie
finds William Boyd as Hopalong
Cassidy in Clarence E. Mulford’d)
story, “The Showdown,” and Sidney
Toler, as “Charlie Chan” in “Murder
Over New York.” Thus fans will
be treated to a pulsating story of
the old West and a thrilling drama
of death-dealing spies in modern
tempo at the same time.
Monday and Tuesday, Robert Tay
lor and Norma Shearer will be seen
in “Escape,” a modern love story
that has been widely praised for its
tenderness and pathos. Conrad
Veidt, Felix Bressart, and Bonita
Grantville all gang up to make “Es
cape” one of the best pictures of
the year. You can’t escape “Es
cape.” In fact, after seeing it, you
won’t want to.
“Quarterback,” an unusual pic
ture of college football, in which
Wayne Morris plays a dual role as
twins, one a star football player,
other a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, will
be shown Wednesday. Romance and
football are the main themes, but
the picture is not without plenty
comedy and suspense. And speak
ing of romance, beauteous blonde
Virginia Dale and luscious brunette
Lillian Cornell are both goofy about
the football star and the scholar,
both played by Wayne Morris, lucky
guy.
Thursday and Friday at the Dixie
will be “sarong day,” as Dorothy La
mour brings back that dainty bit of
feminine adornment in “Moon Over
Burma,” another of those romantic
and dreamy South Sea romances
with not quite the tragedy or bit
terness of “Typhoon.” Robert
Preston and Preston Foster are the
fortunate sarong hunters.
Value of Georgia-produced truck
crops exceeded three million dollars
in 1939.
The average acre of forest land
in Georgia grows about
cord of wood per year.
