VACCINATE AGAINST TYPHOID
Bummer months tre typhoid
months, and all persons who have
not been immunized against the
dread disease should take the vac
cine at once. Every year there is
snore or less typhoid in the county,
and as one health commissioner says,
**any of us can ill afford the ex
pense of serious illness in our fami
lies, and none of us want to gamble
willfully with a disease as serious as
typhoid.”
"If a person is vaccinated against
the disease, and observes all sani-
tmry regulations governing the pro
per disposal of sewage, garbage, and
tite like, and if his home is free
/rxmi flies, he should feel safe from
infection,” he said.
The health commissioner warned
th* public to shun all springs and
public wells when on vacation and
to drink only from an accredited
-city water supply. When it i* neces
sary that spring or well water be
■used, he said, it should be analyzed
ait frequeht intervals for the safety
of those drinking it. He also urged
that care be shown in the selection
of a pool for swimming purposes,
reminding the public that it swal
lows the water it swims in, and
therefore it should be as pure as
drinking water.
PLAN AND SAVE FOR THE
FUTURE
A prominent member of the Busi
ness and Professional Women’s Club
of Atlanta, in a talk to the members
of the club said, "Plan a sound in
vestment program, supervise it and
stick to it and you will some day
onjoy the profits of your invest
ments.” This is sane advice. .So
Jew people these days are laying a
*ide anything for a rainy day or old
*\ge. But these things are sure to
come, and before ope realizes it the
years for accumulating have passed
xind old age finds one dependent for
the necessities of life. Young peo
ple who are receiving even a small
salary should budget so as to lay
aside some each month for the time
when there is no income from daily
labors. The first principle, however,
which we must all learn and keep to,
Is that whether our incomes are
large or small, whether they are in
the form of salaries or interest on
invested capital, whether they are
earned with our hands or with our
heuds, we must try not to spet\d
more than we actually have on hand.
The State Internal Revenue col
lector, W. E. Page, has announced
Im department had turned over to
the department of justice the first
recommendation in this state for
prosecution of a person charged
with evading the processing tax on
hogs. He said conviction would in
volve a penalty of five years impri
sonment or a SIO,OOO fine. The man
is charged with killing hogs and fail
ing to pay the processing tax.
STOP DIVERSION OF ROAD
FUNDS IS FEDERAL AIM
The most smashing body blow yet
dealt diversion of motor tax funds
to general government purposes has
been delivered by Uncle Sam.
Vigorous treatment of states that
use gas tax and motor license fee
money for purposes other than high
ways is written in the Hayden-Cart
wright bill which makes $532,000,-
000 of U. S. funds available for ex
penditure until mid year 1937.
The bill brusquely declares "it is
unfair and unjust to tax motor ve
hicle transportation unless the pro
ceeds of such taxation are applied
to the construction, improvement or
maintenance of highways.”
Because of diversion, road con
struction and employment in a num
ber of states have been so reduced
that much of the effect to provide
work has been defeats. In several
states diversion has reached such
peaks that little money has remained
for new construction and even for
the preservation of highways already
built. It was shown in Congression
al hearings before the passage of
the Hayden-Cartwright bill that at
the present rate of diversion 10
states would be unable to meet any
Federal Aid appropriation.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO
VISIT ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
will leave Annapolis on the U. S. S.
Houston some time during the week
for a season of rest and recreation.
The trip is scheduled to take him
to most of the nation’s island pos
sessions and then back across the
continent from the west coast by
train. It will offer the President his
first chance to see at first hand the
manner in which New Deal measures
are working.
Like the various states of the
union, the island possessions he will
visit are busy with numerous pro
jects made possible by PWA and
CWA, and those close to Mr. Roose
velt say he plans to make no political
use of his trip, but his constant de
mand for figures and facts on the
New Deal seems to foreshadow some
first-hand fact-finding.
His party will be a small one, in
cluding some secretaries and his two
sons, Franklin, Jr., and John. Two
cruisers, the Williamson and the
Zane, will accompany the Houston.
JERSEY CATTLE CLUB
OFFERS 4-H AWARDS
Recent announcements say that
the Georgia Jersey Cattle club, in
line with a recently adopted pro
gram, is offering special prizes for
4-H Jersey Calf club work.
4-H club members of Jackson
county are going after these awards,
to be given for the showing of coun
ty 4-H Jersey groups at the South
eastern fair this fall. Ten prizes are
offered for county groups. The
groups are to consist of five animals
—four heifers ranging from four
months to senior yearlings, not in
milk, and one bull under two years
of age.
County Agent W. Hill Hosch has
been informed that only one group
may be shown from a county, and no
individual may own more than two
of the animals in a group. The bull
must be out of a dam that has ex
ceeded her requirements by at least
10 per cent, either on register of
merit or herd registry test.
LOCAL GARDENS FEEDING THE
FAMILY
Many of our citizens are enjoying
the products of fine gardens. In
fact, it is a joy to look upon some of
the gardens in Jefferson. An abund
ance of vegetables are growing,
more than enough to supply the
family table. Some of the surplus
finds its way into the local market,
and some is put away in cans to sup
ply food next winter. Everybody
should have a year-round garden.
Two crops of Irish potatoes, sev
eral crops of beans, peas, corn and
other products are possible, and
careful planning and planting wil>
give results that are beneficial to
health as well as being economic.
It is well enough for the care of
a garden to be considered seriously,
and the family who is served fresh
vegetables throughout the year is in
deed fortunate.
The Georgia Public Service Com
misson Saturday held a hearing on
the request of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway to discontinue trains num
bers 32 and 33 running between
Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala. The
railroad told the commission that
loss of revenue from the two trains
made it impossible to operate them
longer.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
DESTROY BREEDING PLACES OF
MOSQUITOES
We hear some complaints of the
appearance even this early of mos
quitoes. The rains of the past month
may be responsible for this.
"Many homes have half-stopped
gutters around the edge* of the roof
where stagnant water will be retain
ed. This is an ideal place for mos
quitoes and in a short time thousands
of them will swarm from the.-e gut
ters all over the city. Containers,
such as cans, tubs, buckets, old auto
casings, and sttch are now full of
water from recent raina. Unless
these breeding ’ places are attended
to at once, mosquitoes will breed in
them by the thousands.
"The Department of Health re
quests every citizen to make a per
sonal survey of his or her premises
at this time and destroy every pos
sible breeding place on his ground.-.”
COMMERCE, GA., POST OFFICE
STATUS CHANGED
Washington.—The postofiice di
partment today announced changes
in the class status of several hun
dred postoffices throughout the coun
try, with corresponding changes ir.
salaries of postmasters.
The changes included:
First class to second class: La-
Grange and Waycross, Ga.
Third class to second class: Haw
kinsville and Swainsboro, Ga.
Second to third class: Commerce,
Emory University and Trion, Ga.
Under provisions of the Bankhead
Act recently passed by Congress,
cotton production in the United
States is limited to ten millions of
bales in 1934. This year’s produc
tion is distributed among ninteen
States and one thousand counties.
Texas has the largest quota, 3,237,-
530 bales. Texas produced last year
4,431,951 bales of 500 pounds each.
Georgia’s quota this year is 874,054
bales. Last year Georgia ginned
1,104,507 bales. Jackson county’s
quota this year is 6,176,700 pounds
of lint cotton, or 12,922 bales.
Jackson county farmers will produce
a much greater quantity of wheat,
oats, corn, hay and potatoes than is
usually grown here. If the county
produces its quota of cotton, and the
farmers should receive a fair price
for rame, farmers will begin to come
back into their own in Jackson.
It is now time to sow seed for late
tomatoes and late tomatoes usually
produce a finer quality than the
early plants. If we have a piece of
ground that is really clean it will
pay to plant the seeds here where
the plants are to be grown. Plant
three or four seeds in a hill and
place a stick in the side of each hill.
When the plants are three or four
inclfes high, pull out all but the
strongest ones and either transplant
them or throw them away as the oc
casion desires. Those plants that are
not transplanted will be always sure
to produce more and better tomatoes
than the ones that were transplant
ed. Try enough tomatoes to furnish
an abundant supply for late summer
and early fall use. Home-grown to
matoes are always much better than
those we buy.
The death of Dr. A. S. J. Stovall
of Elberton removes from public
life one of the most able, conscienti
ous and courageous men who ever
held office in Georgia. Several times
he represented Elbert county in the
House, and once or twice represent
ed bis district in the Senate. He was
a friend of education, improved
highways, an uncompromising pro
hibitionist, and was a statesman and
an unselfish servant of the people.
We deplore his death. He will be
missed.
Experiment by the American As
sociation for the advertisement of
science shows all attempts to trans
mit colds by infection or direct in
oculation failed. A number of men
having a history of high suscepti
bility to colds were placed in an iso
lated and humidity conditions. Then
the attempts to infect them by bring
ing into their presence individuals
suffering from colds and inoculating
them with the supposed causative
virus was made. Every one of the
patents failed to catch cold. This
dissipates the theory that we catch
coulds from other people.

$268,000 YAM STARCH PLANT TO
BE BUILT
Plans for establishment of anew
basic Southern industry, with a
$268,000 plant at Quitman, has been
made public by officials of the Pota
to Products Company, of Atlanta,
which will manufacture starch
from Georgia yams and which event
ually plans nine additional factories
in this state.
Made possible by a recently per
fected process for producing starch
from sweet and Irish potatoes in a
form commercially profitable, the
plant, it was stated, probably will be
the forerunner of scores of others in
the Southeast to supply the demand
now filled by approximately 200
million pounds of root starch im
ported annually.
Work on the plant, which will use
more than 40,000 tons of sweet po
tatoes annually, with a daily output
J of 20 tons of starch, will begin with
j in the next three weeks, according
! to Conrad O. Hersam, consulting and
process engineer, one of the princi
pal organizers of the company.
DIETING GREATER RISK
FOR WOMEN THAN MEN
Berkeley, Cal.—Women who fast
or starve themselves for the sake of
a slender figure do so at a greater
risk to their health than do men
undergoing similar deprivations, the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science was told today
by Professor H. J. Deuel, of the Uni
versity of Southern California.
“Women develop a much more
pronounced acidosis during a week’s
fasting than do men,” Professor
Deuel said. “This condition is as
sociated with inability of females to
oxidize fat during starvation as com
pletely as the male subjects are able
to do.
“For this reason an accumulation
of incompletely oxidized end prod
cuts, which are organic acids, oc
curs in the female and typical symp
toms of acidosis ensue.”
WINNIE MERL PETTYJOHN WIN
FIRST PLACE IN COUNTY
STYLE SHOW
The County Style Dress Review
for 4-H Club Girls was held Satur
day afternoon at Martin Institute
School Auditorium.
Winnie Merl Pettyjohn of Talmo
won first place. Corrine McElhan
non from Nicholson, second; and
Jeanette Hall, of Attica, placed
third. Other girls .taking part were:
Martha Beth Lavender, Jackson
Trail; Ruth Shirley, Apple Valley;
Kathleene Brooks, Pendergrass;
Nona Lee Hawks, Jackson Trail;
Lorene Hudson and Nettie Lou
Wright, Dry Pond.
The Style Dress Review is a Na
tional Contest sponsored by the
Chicago Mail Order Company. A
gold-filled medal of honor will be
presented to the county winner, and
a certificate of merit for the second
bounty winner, where five or more
bona fide 4-H Club girls compete.
The State winner will be given an
educational trip to the Thirteenth
National 4-H Club Congress in
Chicago in November.
The girls were required to select
and make the complete outfit. They
were judged on: General appearance
of the costume, Appropriateness for
occasion, selected, cost, construction
of the garment, and ability of the
girl to wear her dress well.
Mrs. H. E. Aderhold, Mrs. A. J.
Flangan, Mrs. E. H. Crooks were the
judges in the contest.
Walton county is making an effort
this week to solve the unemployment
problem by giving a week’s work to
250 persons. The idea is for every
business firm and every home, if
possible to give a week’s work to
some unemployed person. And pay
the week’s wages in advance. Em
ploymentl would include carpenter
ing, agricultural work, clerical work,
painting, clerking, cleaning up, me
chanical jobs. Just anything and
everything that is work.
A speaker at Harvard University
graduating exercises advised the
young men to go back to the farm.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “Let every
one cast away his yachts, racing cars
and jewels and go out into the
fields and hoe the lowly potato, milk
the noble cow and feed the treach
erous pig. Such is our only hope of
salvation, our only means of produc
ing peace.”
Six cars of Redbird peaches,
grown by Mr. -lomer Harber, have
been shipped to New Y’ork from his
orchard near Commerce since June

and is said to be noted for its sweet
ness.
Richard Ayers Wins Second
Place In Paris Prize
(From New York Herald)
The jury of the Beaux Arts Insti
tute of Design had a difficult time
last night deciding that Maurice
Kleinman, of Chicago, was the win
ner of the Institute’s twenty-seventh
annual Paris Prize. The prize car
ries with it a scholarship of $3,609
for two and one-half years study in
Paris.
Fifteen judges walked between
the canvasses of three leading con
testants for the better part of two
hours in the institute’s hall, 304 Last
Fortyfourth Street, before they fin
ally decided that Mr. Kleinman’s de
sign for an international athletic
center was superior to the designs
submitted -by Richard Ayers, of Jef
ferson, Ga., and Lester W. Smith, of
Brooklyn. When Mr. Kleinman was
finally adjudged winner, the second
and third prizes went respectively
to Mr. Ayers and Mr. Smith. Harry
Gnerre, of Mount Vernon, N. Y.,
was the fourth prize winner. The
consolation for the trailing contest
ants were cash awards of $250 each.
Designs Set Mark of Quality
Joseph H. Freedlander, architect
and chairman of the jury, said that
the standard of excellence observed
in the competition had been the
highest in the history of the insti
tute. Mr. Kleinman, he said, won
because of the general excellence of
his composition in placing groups of
buildings, in his modern treatment
and the allowance made for the cir
culation of the public and for the
needs of the competing athletes.
Last April, seven young architec
tural students, who had weathered
two other competitions in which 568
other young men had been eliminat
ed, were directed to sketch their con
cepts of what an international athle
tic center, or a place for Olympic
games, should look like. They were
given thirty-six hours for this. Three
weeks ago they came to New York
with their sketches and were told to
develop their first concepts without
varying from the general scheme.
They have worked from 8 a. m. to
11 p. m. daily since then, closeted
and with the aid only of a critic, to
produce three drawings, each 5% by
7 % feet.
Taught While Working
Mr. Kleinman received a B. S.
from the University of Illinois be
fore he came East to enter New
Y'ork University. He also passed a
year at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. He received a first
prize in 1933 in a competition
sponsored by the American Institute
of Steel Construction for the design
of a bridge. He has also received a
scholarship of three months study at
Fontainebleau, outside of Paris.
Mr. Ayers attended Yale, where
he supported himself by giving in
struction, acting as a waiter and
singing in a choir. He had two
scholarships of SSOO each to help
him along in his architectural stu
dies.
Mr. Smith studied architecture at
Princeton. He has been the re
cipient of two Princeton fellowships
and a Fontainebleau scholarship.
He competed for the Beaux-Arts In
stitute Paris Prize in 1933 and plac
ed fourth.
Mr. Gnerre also competed last
year, placing third. He attended
schools in Mount Vernon, then took
extension courses from Columbia
University.
The Eagle hotel in Watkinsville,
one of the oldest buildings in that
city, which has for a long time been
a landmark of the place, narrowly
missed the hands of a wrecking
crew by being placed in the hands of
a filling station company. A deal
with the company had almost been
completed when Mr. Lanier Billups,
Decatur, former Watkinsville citizen,
was informed of it. He immediate
ly rushed to Watkinsville for senti
mental reasons, and purchased it,
much to the delight of the older
citizens of the town.
Forty directors of the Route 15
Highway association have' been mail
ed invitations to attend a barbecue
in Athens June 29 by the Chamber
of Commerce. Col. J. C. Turner is
the director from Jefferson, and Dr.
J. C. Verner and Mr. L. L. Davis
from Commerce. Route 15 begins at
the Georgia-North Carolina line,
near Rabun ’Gap, and ends at the
Florida State line.
Superintendent Sutton of the At
lanta City Schools has addressed
letters to the business men of the
city, asking for positions for 1500
young men and women graduates in
the 1934 classes of Atlanta’s high
schools.

JOHN BOLES PLAYS REAL
HE-MAN ROLE
Portrays Devilish Engineer Opposite
Claire Trevor in “Wild Gold”
John Boles will delight his many
fans with anew type of character
zation in “Wild Gold,’ coming t
the Roosevelt Theatre on Thursday
and Friday. He portrays a devilish
young engineer in the ghost mining
town, who makes frequent trips to
Reno to celebrate and get in his >
cups. On one of these, he meets the
charming Claire Trevor, who re
pulses him coldly.
This rebuff, however, only stirs
his determination to know the My
better and when she stalls, in PM
Rock with a disabled car, he “fixes’
the car so that she has to stick v
round for quite a spell. During
that time, romance blossoms an
flowers amid the hectic happenings
of the reawakened ghost town.
Boles came into stage prominence
by the vocal route in “Little J esse
Janies” in New York. Aftei a nu®
ber of other stage successes, he ac
cepted an offer tendered by Gloria
Swanson to play the lead in
Loves of Sunya.” The coming
sound to the screen and his portray
al of the lead in “The Desert Song
made him definitely a screen favor
ite. Leads in “Rio Rita,” “Son*
the West,” “La Marseillaise,’’ ‘ K ' n?
of Jazz,” “Seed” and other hits •
