Funeral Rites
Friday Morning
For T. H. Nolen
Funeral services for Mr. Thomas
H. Nolen, prominent Jackson resi
dent who died at his home on College
street early April 23, were held at
the First Baptist church Friday
morning at 11 o’clock. The pastor,
the Rev. Gaither A. Briggs, assisted
by the Rev. J. B. Stodghill, conduct
ed the rites. Friends, relatives and
organizations attested their affec
tion by pretty floral offerings.
A choir consisting of Mrs. S. H.
Thornton, Mrs. Lester Duncan, J.
C. Kimbell and Avon Gaston sang
favorite hymns, “Rock of Ages” and
“Abide with Me.”
The pallbearers were 7. M. Gas
ton, Joel B. Mallet, C. B. Sims, C.
Ly Redman, F. H. Morgan and O. E.
Smith.
Burial was in the family lot in
the Jackson cemetery, with Thornton
Funeral Homes in charge of arrange
ments.
Surviving Mr. Nolen are his wife,
the former Miss Bessie Jarman of
Newton county; one son, Paul W.
Nolen of St. Petersburg, Fla.; two
daughters, Miss Clara Nolen and
Miss Emmalu Nolen of Atlanta; a
granddaughter, Mrs. Robert Stewart
of Jacksonville, Fla., and a great
grandchild; Robert Stewart 111.
. Between the optimist who believes
the War will* end' in a few months
and the pessimist who thinks it will
last ten to twenty years, is the com
mon sense view that the war will
end when America is fully mobilized
and ready for offensive action.

Veronica Lake,
Robert Taylor
At The Dixie
Saturday at the Dixie finds Tex
Ritter and his horse, “White Flash,”
in “Take Me Back to Oklahoma” with
Bob Wills, his fiddle and his Texas
playboys. Father and son are dou
ble-dating in “Double Date” with
Edmund Lowe, Una Merkel, Peggy
Moran and Rand Brooks.
Monday and Tuesday brings Joel
McCrea and Veronica Lake in a
brand new story of a millionaire who
turned to hitch-hiking for the love
■of it in “Sullivan’s Travels.” Mc-
Crea as a rich playboy catches the
wander-lust and travels many miles
via the upturned thumb method, and
in and along one memorable miles
runs into love and danger in the
person of Miss Lake, whose beau
teous face is still hidden by her
hair do. It all adds up to splendid
entertainment, howeVer, and all will
agree that the picture is aptly nam
ed.
Rosalind Russell, a product of
the state of Alabama, and Walter
Pidgeon combine their talents, both
sartorial and cinematic, Wednesday
to bring you “Design for Scandal,”
another modern show for modern
people. “Design for Scandal” will
take you back stage on some of the
most delicious gossip you ever heard
and show you just how tragic the
foolish words of a few can be.
Robert Taylor and Lana Turner
are starred Thursday and Friday in
“Johnny Eager,” the top dramatic
hit of the year. The story is thrill
packed with drama and action, and
tells of a cultured girl who sacri
fices everything—position, wealth
and friends— on the altar of love
for a racketeer who was not only
crooked but cruel to the very core.
The love scenes are unusual and will
not be easily forgotton, in fact they
are the best of the new season.

ACREAGE IN PASTURE
Reports from the Georgia Agri
cultural Extension Service show that
62,000 acres of permanent pasture
were sown daring 1941, not to men
tion 40,000 acres cleared or reclear
ed but not sown, and 100,000 acres
reworked by fertilizing, liming, plow
ing, or combinations of these im
provement practices.
GROWING TREES
Trees, like other crops, require
some httention if they are to yield
the highest returns. Foresters of
the Agricultural Extension Service
tell us that trees need to be pro
tected from fire and to be properly
harvested. However, unlike most
crops, trees require no cultivation,
no fertilizer, and only a small
amount of care.
TRACTOR SAFETY
A tractor up-set may cost a limb
or a life, so don’t forget that over
turning is four times as likely when
tractor speed is doubled.
ists of the Agricultural Extension
Service urge farmers to be sure to
go slow when working rough ground
or along ditches.
DON’T DO THIS
Don’t plant a garden and dream
of baskets full of fresh vegetables
while the weeds grow. Without work
they can become the major crop in
your garden. Don’t start a victory
garden and let the insects win the
victory. A dust-gun and a good
brand of garden dust are the things
you will need to fight them, says El
mo Ragsdale, Georgia Extension Ser
vice horticulturist.
SPACING FOR POTATOES
Proper planting distance for sweet
potatoes is usually considered about
33 to 38 inches between rows and
from 14 to 16 inches between plants
in the row, according to recommen
dations of the Agricultural Extension
Service. At this spacing, about 10,-
000 to 12,000 plants will be required
to set an acre.
About 14 pounds of manganese
are needed to produce a ton of
steel.
CHOOSING A MATE
Consideration of many factors is
necessary in connection with mar
riage, says the Agricultural Exten
sio Service. Yet it is apparent that
many rural young couples give little
thought to the appropriate circum
stances until the “knot has been
tied.” Then often it is difficult to
make the best of the situation.
SPACING TREES
A general rule which will aid in
obtaining proper spacing of trees,
says the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, is to add four to the diameter
of the biggest trees, expressed in
inches, and use this figure as the
