K
The Hartwell and Hart county phy
sicians and dentists are lending a
helping hand in the Better Health
program for Hart county. Hats
off to them for the splendid spirit
of cooperation!
We want to express our deepest
appreciation to them and other pub
lic spirited citizens of Hart county
for the generous help.
The women of different organiza
tions have agreed to help in promot
ing a county “Better Health Pro
gram.”
April 20th, the county schools will
make a beginning by entering the
County Health Contest. It is hoped
that every school will be represented.
More than three hundred club
girls are keeping health score cards
and in this way each day checking
up on daily health habits. This is
part of the regular program of club
work, and very important.
We all agree that the most funda
mental subject in the entire school
curriculum is health, but how many
of them devote any time to the sub
ject?
Health education is more impor
tant than reading, writing or arith
metic, and yet we are devoting only
a small part, if any, of the time
to the development of this subject.
We will wake up some day!
Following is the May Day Child
Health demonstration work:
Five Health Rights of the Rural
Child.
The rural child possesses a dis
tinct advantage over the city child
in having more sunshine and greater
opportunity for outdoor life. With
out great effort the rural child may
also claim for himself some of the
other health protection measures
which the city child now enjoys in a
greater degree.
The holding up of the hand is a
request for recognition. There is a
“handful” of health ideas suggested
by the five fingers and the case of
health for the rural child may well
be presented under five headings.
I—Safe Drinking Water.
Every rural child should be assur
ed of safe drinking water. This
means that wells should have tight
curbings, should be protected from
wurface drainage, and should yield
potable water to which the germs
of sickness are denied access.
ll—Clean and Safe Milk.
The health «f the rural child will
beat be protected if the milk that he
drinks is clean and c»mes from cows
which have passed the tuberculin
test.
Ill—Health Education.
Every rural school should give its
children training in the health habits
and health facts which will bring the
greatest store of vigorous health.
Since proper hours .and conditions of
Bleep; well chosen meals rich in
fruits, vegetables and milk, and
abundant joyful outdoor play are
cornerstones of personal health, the
rural school should teach their value
to parents as well as children, (See
“The Rules of the Game.”) No man
lives to himself alone, therefore, the
rural school should develop a readi
ness to obey the county health laws.
Fnnally the rural child has a right
to a good school house and well
trained teacher who is eager and
able to lead her children happily
along the road to health.
IV— Examination*.
The ruwi child has less opportun
ity for a physical examination than
the child in the city. This should
be changed. Examinations, prefer
ably by the family or school physi
cian, or inspections by nurse or
teacher instructed along these lines,
should be given to every rural school
child so that poor eyesight, decayed
teeth and other defects can be found
and corrected early in life before
permanent damage to health re
sults.
V—The County Health Unit.
The rural child should have the
benefit of the thought and planning
of a well-trained conscientious health
officer, who gives his full time to
safeguarding and building up the
health of the children, mothers and
fathers of his county.
Here Are The Rule* of the Game.
A full bath more than once a week.
Brushing the teeth at least once
every day.
Sleeping long hours with windows
open.
Drinking as much milk as possible,
but no coffee or tea.
Eating some vegetables or fruit
every day.
Drinking at least four glasses of
•water a day.
Playing part of every day out of
doors.
A bowel movement every day.

AMERICAN LEGION THANKS
ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED HERE
We desire to thank each and every
one who contributed to the American
I<egion endowment fund for the ben
efit of the orphan children whose
parents died in the world war, or
fro m wounds and exposure incident
to their service in th< army-, and for
the benefit of the soldiers who are
now unable to take care of them
selves.
We realize that this drive coming
right after other drives for funds
in the community, was handicapped,
but in the face of this and other con
tributing causes, which made it dif
ficult for people to respond, as they
would have done, we have made a
very creditable showing, and we are
truly grateful for the fine spirit of
cooperation shown us by the people
of the town and county.

Presbyterian
Mr. C. H. Green, representing the
Committee of Education of the
Southern Presbyterian Church, was
in the city last week for a confer
ence with Rev. James Bradley and
church officers regarding the work
now being conducted throughout
Georgia for the removal of Colum
bia Seminary from Columbia, S. C.,
back to Georgia, where it was first
started.
The removal and rebuilding of the
seminary at Atlanta has been author
ized by the five synods of Georgia,
South Carolina, Alabama, Florida
and Mississippi, and approved by the
General Assembly, the Board of Di
rectors of Columbia Seminary and
the Presbyterians of Georgia, ac
cording to Mr. Green.
The campaign in Georgia follows
a recent campaign in Atlanta in
which the Presbyterians of that city
and Decatur subscribed $300,000
for new buildings and equipment,
and a plot of ground of forty acres
was donated for a site.
There are no Presbyterian Theo
logical Seminaries in the State, says
Mr. Green; there are many vacant
pulpits and the need is very great
for a seminary where local candi
dates for the ministry can be train
ed and held in this territory for lo
cal charges.
Columbia Seminary is controlled
by five synods of Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, South Carolina and Miss
issippi. The campaign in Georgia is
is charge of a Synod’s Committee
composed of prominent Presbyterians
throughout the State, of which Dr.
J. Sprole Lyons, of Atlanta, is
chairman.
The other members are: Dr. Neal
L. Anderson, Savannah; Mr. J. T.
Brantley, Blackshear; Mr. J. Bulow
Campbell, Atlanta; Rev. S. J. Cart
ledge, Athens; Rev. J. B. Ficklen,
Decatur; Rev. F. G. Hartman, Wash
ington, Ga.; Mr. W. D. Hooper, Ath
ens; Dr. E. R. Leyburn, Rome; Dr.
J. H. Paton, Marietta; Rev. R. F.
Simpson, Americus; Mr. Edgar Wat
kins, Atlanta.
It is planned to raise not less than
$250,000 in the state of Georgia to
be used for endowment of the new
seminary. The Committee of Edu
cation of the Southern Presbyterian
Church is assisting in the campaign,
and has established headquarters at
17 Poplar St., Atlanta.
“Dec’s Ology”
Took a journey last week—-down
towards Macon, and had a splendid
time of it, too. Met many old
friends, who treated me in the most
splendid manner.
Macon is a wonderful place—it has
nice folks, and, friends, pretty girls,
too! Before our trip to Macon we
had never seen so many pretty girls
in a bunch in all our ( —) years of
habitation upon this earth. The
boys fall for them, too! Why, folks,
some of the Mercer boys are des
perately in love with some of the
Wesleyan girls. I asked one of the
boys what time it was and he re
plied in a sort of sub-conscious man
ner, “It’s eleven-thirty, darlin’, guess
I had better go.” And then, he
turned and saw me and runnin’ ain’t
no name for it—he fairly flew.
You tell one, now.
“And when he proposed, I couldn’t
keep back my tears.”
“You couldn’t, my dear?”
“No; he had been eating onions.”
At Macon we saw Prof. Allman,
who was gaily walking about as if
someone had said something real
nice to him. Approaching him in a
rather cautious manner we tried to
think of something to ask him, when
all at once our eyes caught the sight
of a button on the lapel of his coat.
On closer observation we found that
the button had written across its top
the one word “Peabody.”
Now, we knew that Mr. Allman
graduated from Peabody and ventur
ed to ask him, “You wouldn’t take
a million dollars for that button,
would you?”
“Wouldn’t take two million if I
couldn’t get another one,” he re
plied.
So it goes—everyone loves his
Alma Mater.
Ju*t Like Women.
Wifey (to husband) —Well, I wont
argue with you any more—l told
you two hours ago that 1 had nothing
to say on the subject.
Up until the Royston-Hartwell
game Tuesday afternoon Hartwell
had a batting percentage of .265.
This is no bad average for a team,
although a higher average would
probably mean more runs. In three
games Hartwell obtained 26 hits off
the combined deliveries of the oppos
ing pitchers, making an average of a
little better than eight hits per game.
The five highest players follow,
with their times at bat, hits, runs,
and percentage in the order named:

—WHERE YOUR DOLLAR DOES ITS DUTY—
JUDGE CHARLES H. BRAND
The recent honor accorded Con
gressman Charles H. Brand, of Ath
ens, in his appointment to the Na
tional Democratic Congressional
Committee is a well deserved dis
tinction and a recognition of the
splendid qualities of the man and of
his valuable services not only to his
own Congressional district, but to
the citizens of the state at large.
Judge Brand is one of the most
popular of Georgia’s Congressmen.
Georgians in Washington, who are
near to the scene of action and who
know the real worth of Georgia’s
legislative representatives, unani
mously elected him as honorary pres
ident of the Georgia State Club
there. He is a man of ideals, far
removed from the class of hand
shaking politicians. He is generous
ly and generally interested in Geor
i gians without thought of section, and
I makes their needs and desires his
personal concern.
Georgians who know and admire
Judge Brand watch with interest his
splendid record, and repoice when his
faithful service to Georgia and her
interests is fittingly rewarded.—

NEW BUS LINE RUNS FROM
ATHENS TO ANDERSON, S. C.
The establishment of an auto-bus
line from Athens to Anderson, S. C.,
i will be worth more to our city than
many realize, for it gives our city
direct and airline communication
i with all the fine towns in the Pied
■ mont section of the two Carolinas.
I A similar route is to be established
from Anderson to Spartanburg,
< where you can go by an auto-bus to
and beyond Charlotte, N. C. It is
j only a question of time when a trav
: eler can embark on a bus in Athens
and go through to Washington City.
This route splits wide open that
• popular and wealthy farming and
i manufacturing center between the
; Southern and Seaboard railways and
greatly shortens the distance by raif.
These lines will bring a constant
travel to our city and greatly help
our hotels, places of amusement, and
general trade. There is a great and
glorious future for Athens when the
five national highways are complet
ed and auto-bus lines radiating in
| every direction. The writer knows
every foot of the country from Ath
ens to Charlotte, and realizes what
it means to Athens when brought in-
to daily and direct communication
with us.—Hon. T. Larry Gantt, in
Athens Banner.
