HINTS TO SWIMMERS New York City, with its drowning loss of more than 500 lives a year, rates highest in the country. The greater part of the drowning loss can be traced directly to careless ness. The following precautions were urged in a statement issued by the American Red Cross: Parents should keep their children near them while they are in the water at the beach. Don’t dive into strange water. Don’t swim alone. Don’t swim past the life line. Don’t forget that it takes just as much ability to swim in five feet of water as it does in 500. Don’t use boats or canoes unless you can swim well enough to take care of yourself. Don’t use automobile inner tubes to support you in the water. They are the cause of many drownings. Don’t allow your children to build rafts and paddle away from the safe waters. Don’t swim for at least an hour and a half after eating, or you are likely to get stomach cramps. Don’t forget that men are the worst offenders in drowning acci dents. For every woman that drowns, at least ten men lose their lives in the water. Don’t forget that i.t is much easier and much safer to be your own life guard, and, if you play safe and use the proper caution around the water, you will get a great deal of enjoy ment out of the greatest and oldest of sports—swimming. ROBBER DIDN’T GET AMOUNT CHARGED Chicago.—The same bandit who robbed him two weeks ago walked into the Lakeridge hotel last night, pointed the same pistol at M. W. Heller, clerk, and said: “Now listen, the last time I was here 1 got SSO. You told the police it was S2OO and what a fine mess I got into. “My wife read the newspapers and she won’t believe that 1 only got SSO. She thinks I lost the rest in a crap game.” Heller gave the badit sls, apolo gized and promised to be more accur ate in his police report this time. HEALTH AND CONTF.NTMENT BASIS OF ALL HAPPINESS, JOHN D. AVERS Turrytowr., N. Y.. —Within the walls of his 8,000-acre Poeantico Hills estate, which oil millions built, John D. Rockefeller Wednesday ob served his 92nd birthday in excellent health. The usual band music, fireworks and distribution of dimes were lack ing for neighbor John’s birthday program. Messages of congratula tions poured in from the world’s leaders in business, finance und phil anthropy, but the actual celebration was a family affair. In a birthday message to the world, Mr. Rockefeller said: “These occasions offer me a very welcome opportunity; first, to ex press my gratitude to the many, many friends who not only at. this time, but throughout the year have shown their kindly regard to me, and, sec ond, to wish them and theirs and all the world a large measure of health and contentment, which are the basis of real happiness.” The program mapped out for Mr. Rockefeller included his hit of golf, a little work with his secretary, a motor ride in the estate and a din ner in the evening. Only members of the immediate family were invit ed to the dinner. A birthday cake was baked. There is one day more important than his hirthday, friends say. The day he got his first job as an assist ant kookkeeper in Cleveland in 1855. He earned SSO in the first three months. That day is Septem ber 26, which he usually observes by giving away a bushel of shiny dimes. Twenty years ago Mr. Rockefeller turned over $1,000,000,000 in capital holdings to his son, John D., Jr., who was to spend it “for the benefit of all mankind.” Since that time the oil king has lived in contentment and increasing health. He has often said “Good health makes any one prosperous.” His favorite devotional prayer af ter breakfast is: “Lord, make us willing to share with others the bless ings wherewith Thou hast crowned our lives; help us to understand that our really greatest gain is in sharing with others what Thou hast so graci ously given to us.” NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITOL (By E.

The Committee Of One Hundred (From Cedartown Standard) Coming at a time when there was never a greater need for concerted action for Georgia by Georgians and at a time when opportunity for public service through unity of pur pose and unity of action was never richer, the wide spread response and pledges of support that have follow ed the announcement, of the forma tion of The Committee of One Hun dred must be tuavs of the most grati fying character to forward thinking citigens. The Cedartown Standard joins with pleasure the hundreds who have poured forth their congratula tions and who have endorsed the high purposes of the committee. W'e have only the highest commendation for Colonel Charles F, Redden, a true executive with foresight, cour age and apparently abiding faith in Georgia. This movement for quickening the progress of Georgia is an enterprise that is full of promise. It is grati fying when men who are leaders of every interest unite in a construc tive development plan free from any suspicion of politics or selfish inter ests. It would be a dullard indeed who failed to sense the potentiali ties of such an endeavor; who could not believe that the investment now of time and effort and the number of dollars that are necessary will bring returns in a high ratio to the invest ment. Now that The Committee of One Hundred has made a propitious de but comes the real test—in what measure will the enterprise receive the substantial support in time and money tfiat it must receive if it’s plans are fruitful. Here is a movement to benefit all Georgia—and every citizen in Geor gia. It’s a call to the colors; failure to enlist by cooperating and boost ing is an admission that you don’t give a “whoop” for Georgia and that you fail to realize what is for your own individual good. The enterprise challenges the loyalty of all Georgians! Short months will reveal whether the pledges of support . are lip-worship only. Short months will tell wheth er men and money will rise to the occasion; keep the enterprise free of politics and self-interest or wheth er The Committee of One Hundred shall go the way of other Forward Georgia organizations. For there have been other For ward Georgia movements similar to this, full of promise, blossoming forth only to be wrecked by diag nosticians of Georgia’s ills who nev er applied the cure; by seekers of jobs for selves, friends, and rela tives and by pugnacious promoters of pet schemes, tenaciously holding to their own hobbies to the death of the wider common warfare. All power to the Committee of One Hundred. Surely it will enlist more than the verbal interest of for ward thinkers. More power to or ganizer Redden. He and the Com mittee will need strength a-plenty to prevent interest from slackening. Let us hope they will strike far and wide and take full advantage of the splendid beginning that has been made toward putting Georgia before the world through the nation-wide publicity in connection with the Na tional Editorial Association Conven tion. The Cedartown Standard also commends most heartily the plans of The Committee of One Hundred for selling Georgia to Georgians. In this the newspapers of the state can and will help. In oi’der to further this endeavor The Standard cheerfully opens its columns to the publication of all news that space will permit about the work of The Committee of One Hundred. THE JACKSON COUNTY SINGING CONVENTION It is just a matter of a few days until the Jackson County Singing Convention will meet. Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26, 1931, is the date, and Nicholson Baptist church is the location. All roads will lead to Nicholson during those two days. Singers have been invited from practically fifteen counties. These, together with the local talent, should make this the best convention ever held in the county. No ban is placed on books—bring yours. Naturally, this occasion will re quire some eats. Attention is es pecially called to the fact that all Jackson county citizens are request ed to carry the noon lunch, in order to assure plenty rations to care for the visitors from other counties. Come early, each day. We will do our best to treat you nice, arid see that all leadex-s are given a fair showing. Yours for singing. Sam Lord, Pres. Jewett Barnett, Sec’y.
