VETERANS TO GET
ONLY $127 EACH
It seems that “paying Georgia’s
debts” is a myth as far as the old
soldiers are concerned. In other
words, most of the money due these
heroes is to be canceled by writing
it off the books, just as a large a
mount of the state’s indebtedness
has already been paid. The vision
the veterans have cherished for sev
eral months that they would receive
the money due them has vanished,
as they are to get less than 50 per
cent of the amount.
The state owes its pensioners
$875,000, but by some manner of
calculation the powers that be have
figured that only $379,222 of this is
“unpaid appropriations,” and they
will receive this amount, which will
amount to $127 for each pensoner.
This is the amount due them for the
year 1930.
The state owes nothing on pensions
for 1931 and 1932, but owes $339,-
840 for 1933 and $85,320 for 1934.
In addition, there is an item of un
paid funeral bills which will run
somewhere around $60,000 or $75,-
000.
But the amounts due except for
the year 1930 are not unpaid ap
propriations; at that is the
opinion of our state officials. They
clrim these are amounts due because
the tobcaco tax failed to bring in
an amount sufficient to pay the
pensions, and, therefore, the state
does not owe this debt.

Atlanta Music Club
Selects Study Hymn
A stirring Septuagesima hymn,
“Fight the Good Fight,” used gen
erally by congregations of all de
nominations, is designated as the
hymn of. the month for February, by
the department of music in religious
education of the Atlanta Music Club
and the Georgia Federation of Music
Clubs, according to announcement
by Nana Tucker, chairman.
“Fight the Good Fight” is a hymn
written especially to rouse the faint
Christian during the season of prepa
ration for Lent, being based on the
text from the sixth chapter of St.
Faul’s first epistle to Timothy, “Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, whereunto thou art call
ed”; and tfie text from the ninth
chapter of the Epistle to the Corin
thians, “Every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all
things”; which last is appointed to
be read on Septuagesima Sunday.
John S. B. Monsell, who wrote the
words, was a clergyman of the
Church of England, born in Ireland,
1811, and educated for the ministry
at Trinity College, Dublin. His
ministry was spent in England, first
at Egham, and later at Guilford, in
Surrey, where in 1863 he published
for his own congregation a volume
of hymns entitled “Hymns of Love
and Praise.” Monsell’s conviction
that the hymns of the church, sung in
praise of the Creator of all, should
be more fervent and more joyous,
inspired him to write as many as
300 hymns of which the best known
are “Fight the Good Fight” and “On
Our Way Rejoicing.”
The tune “Pentecost,” is by Wil
liam Boyd, a clergyman of the Angli
can church, London, born in Jamai
ca in 1848, who wrote it for a hymn
to be sung at Whitsuntide. Without
his knowWdge, however, it was as
signed by Sir Arthur Sullivan in a
collection he was editing, to Monsell’s
Septuagesima hymn. It met with
such favor that Boyd later gave his
consent, and the words and the tune
eventualy became inspiringly asso
ciated.
The words of the hymn are:
Fight the good fight with aIL thy
might, |
Christ is thy strength, and Christ
thy right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God’s
good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His
face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the
prize.
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall
prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
Faint not nor fear, His arms are
near
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

Demonstration News
(Leila Bates, H. D. A.)
Many people wonder just what
type of organization the Home
Demonstration Ciubs and 4-II Clubs
are. The rural women are organiz
ed into clubs, which are known as
Home Demonstration Clubs. The
club has its own local officers, con
sisting of a president, vice-president,
and secretary-treasurer, all elected
by the club. There is a chairman,
who is appointed by the president,
for each project carried on.
Projects in home improvement,
nutrition, poultry, gardening, or
charding, dairying and clothing are
carried on. One of these projects
receives emphasis each year, one is
carried on as a preliminary project,
which becomes the emphasis project
the following year, and the third
year it is a follow-up project, becom
ing an emphasis project again the
fourth year. So the club has a four
year program.
The officers of all the clubs are
organized into a county wide or
ganization, known as the County
Home Demonstration Council. This
as an advisory body to
the home demonstration agent in
planning her program of work for
the year and in solving the problems
with which she is faced from time to
time. The council meets monthly.
The program of work for the year
was made out by the council and
agent at the December meeting, and
is as follows:
January—Nutrition, School Lunch
es.
February—Poultry, New Stock
and Breeding.
March—Gardening, Planting, Cul
tivation, Fertilization and Rotation
of Crops.
April—Home Improvement, Bud
geting of Time, Energy and Money
for a More Satisfactory Homo Life.
May—Clothing, Best Practices in
Home Laundering.
June—Home Improvement, Sani
tary Finishes for Floors, Walls and
Kitchen Work Surfaces.
July—Nutrition, Cooking Vegeta
bles to Preserve Color, Flavor, and
Food Value.
August—Gardening, Planting the
Fall Garden.
September—Home Improvement,
Selection and Arrangement of Furni
ture for Convenience.
October—Clothing, Study of Tex
tiles, Styles and Fabrics.
November—Orcharding, Planning
and Planting the Home Orchard.
December Home Improvement,
Beautifying the Home Grounds.
The program for the girls work
will be given next week.
