JANUARY MEETING OF BAPTIST
W. M. S.
A beautiful installation nervin'
was the main feature of the January
meeting of the Baptist Woman’*
Miaaionary Society. This service
was the thought of the world as a
field, the Word of God as the seed,
ourselves as the laborers, and the
various departments of the W. M. S.
as rows to be cultivated. A sand
table had been prepared for this
purpose, with the six rows clearly
marked as follows: Prayer, Enlist
ment, Mission Study, Personal Ser
vice, Stewardship, and Missionary
Education of the Youth. The theme
was splendidly developed, and show
ed us that though our field and our
membership be small, yet we have
the same number of rows to be cul
tivated, and nothing but our best is
acceptable. The officers for 1935
are:
Pres., Mrs, 11. E. Aderhold; Vice-
President, Mrs. J. C. Bennett; Sec.
and Reporter, Miss Irene Rankin;
Treasurer, Mrs. Ab Hardy; Chair
man Enlistment Committee, Mrs. J.
C. Bennett; Chairman Miie-ion Study,
Mrs. R. M. Higdon; Chairman Per
sonal Service, Mrs. C. B. Lord;
Chairman Stewardship, Mrs. Ab
Hardy; Young People’s Director,
Mrs. M. M. Bryan; Chairman of Pro
grams, Mrs. T. T. Benton.
After the installation service, Cir
cle Number One presented the pro
gram for the afternoon, under the
leadership of Mrs. S. A. Boland.
She was assisted by Mrs. E. E. Mar
tin, Mrs. T. T. Benton and Mrs. R.
M. Rigdon.
During the business session, the
new song adopted for the year was
aung, ‘‘Fling Out the Banner.” Al
so, the motto for the year was re
peated, ‘‘ln the Name of our God we
will set up our banners,” taken from
Psalms, 20:5.
The new president, Mrs. H. E.
Aderhold, presided over this first
meeting of the year. The personal
service work has been designated for
each circle for one quarter, instead
of for only one month. It is thought
that better work can be accomplish
ed in this way. The treasurer gave
a splendid report of the year’s work.
The apportionment was practically
met, and a substantial sum was add
ed to the building fund. Each circle
also presented a yearly report, as did
the leaders of the G. A’s. and Sun
beams.
On account of the inclement
weather, there were only nine pres

BUYING MORE AUTOMOBILES
Anew picture of improved econo
mic conditions is Riven in figures
recently compiled by the Travelers
Insurance company.
These figures show that automo
bile registration in the United States
in 1934 is running close to the all
time record, and that gasoline con
sumption is near the high mark of
a few years ago. For the first time
since 1930, car registrations are up
—to better than 25,000,000, a gain
of approximately 6 percent over
1933. , Gasoline consumption, also
up uhout 6 percent, is the first gain
in that field since 1931.
Incidentally, the increase in auto
registration shows a rise of not quite
6 percent in private passenger cars
and of more than 9 percent in com
mercial vehicles.
All in all, this is pretty fair evi
dence that things are getting bet
ter. More people are driving cars
now than at any time in four years.
That looks as if somebody had more
money than he did have.
CITIZENS ASKED TO
REPORT SOLICITORS
WHO ARE NUISANCES
(From Athens Ranner-llerald)
Recorder Vincent Matthews said
that numerous complaints have been
received from citizens against soli
tors for magazine subscriptions.
The recorder said that in many in
stances these solicitors have made
nuisances of themselves and cases
have been reported where solicitors
tried to force themselves into homes
in order to sell their magazines.
Several cases have been reported,
the recorder declared, where solici
tors for magazines, or books, have
by high-pressure methods, virtually
forced persons to subscribe to maga
zines When they didn’t want to do
bo, but knew of no other way to get
rid of the solicitors. “I am asking
citizens to report to the police any
further instances of these solicitors
becoming nuisances,” the recorder
said. ‘‘This business has become a
racket, and is giving many of our
citizens unnecessary trouble.”
SOUTHERN PINES CAN CLOTHE
WORLD, HERTY DECLARES
New York.—Silken socks and
gowns made of Southern pine trees
arc chemistry's offering today to aid
American economic recovery.
The discovery that this can be
done commercially, and at lowered
costs for raw materials, was de
scribed here last night by Dr. Char
les H. Herty, of Savannah, at a
meeting of the Society of Organic
Chemists.
He said there is enough of this
Southern pine to supply the entire
world with clothing. The first silken
yarn made from Southern slash and
loblolly pine trees by the new pro
cess was exhibited at the meeting by
Francis P. Ci'v.n, president of the
Chemical Foundation, which gave fi
nancial aid to the pine tree research.
The work was done in Savannah
at the experimental laboratory which
recently succeeded in making high
grade news print out of Southern
pine trees. The synthetic yarn is
made from the cellulose which forms
a large portion of these pines.
It is similar to synthetic dress
goods already manufactured through
out the industrial world. Previous
ly these have been supplied by slow
growing Northern spruce trees. The
Southern pines grow nearly five
times as fast.
Until Doctor Herty’s experiments,
the textile industry thought the
Southern trees contained too much
resin. The silken pine yarn exhi
bited here last night was spun by
regular processes in the largest A
merican mills, and Mr. Garvan read
statements from two manufacturers
who said that the Southern pine
yarns appeared to equal that from
the pulps now in use.
Mr. Garvan said that the wood
pulps now used market at S7O a
ton, and that the Southern • product
can be manufactured, including
overhead and all expenses, for about
$35 a ton.
“There are 200,000,000 acres in
the South,” Doctor Herty said, “not
needed for agriculture. This land
can produce a cord a year of pulp
for manufacture into yarn, or 200,-
000,000 cords a year.
“For its entire wood pulp yarn
today the world uses only 18,000,000
cords. It is up to chemists to find
new uses for this storehouse in the
South. This cellulose is waiting for
the chemist’s touch to make prod
ucts we do not even dream of to
day.”
THE PRESIDENT AND THE
FARMERS
(Ralph Smith, in Atlanta Journal)
Cotton continues one of the big
ger agricultural problems of the ad
ministration, toward the solution of
which AAA is driving under the
stimulus of none other than Presi
dent Roosevelt himself. . . .
There is no feature of the farm pro
gram in which the President feels a
deeper interest. ... He figures the
expansion of foreign trade in cotton
necessary to the restoration and
stabilization of the south's chief in
dustry, and is credited with the
movement now under way for an in
ternational cotton conference.
Of more immediate importance
than the projected international con
ference, to the farmers of the south,
is the renewal of negotiations with
Germany for the sale of half mil
lion bales, or more, of distress cot
ton.
Unless I am sadly mistaken, you
will read very shortly of the re
opening of these negotiations, which
were suspended some months ago,
because of diplomatic complications.
. . . These difficulties have been, or
will be, brushed aside, thus assuring
and expediting an initial sale of not
fewer than 500,000 bales of cotton
to the Hitler government.
The cotton involved in the pros
pective sale is a part of the 1,500,-
000 bales, belonging to southern
farmers, and now held in the U. S.
cotton pool, upon which the growers
have been advanced 12 cents a pound
by the government.
Volume of Retail Trade in December
Largest in 4 Years
Atlanta.—The volume of retail
trade in the sixth federal reserve dis
trict during December was greater
than for any month in four years,
the Federal Reserve bank here re
ported Thursday in its monthly re
view of conditions in the area.
In the main, there was greater
activity throughout the district in
December of 1933, but less than in
November of last year.
Department store sales increased
60.7 per cent over November sales
and 19.1 over December, 1933, sales.
Wholesale trade decreased 11.8 from
November to December, but was 4.2
per cent greater than a year earlier.

Extensive Work Being Accomplished
In State In Geodetic Survey*
Atlanta.—Extensive work in geo
detic surveys is being done in many
sections of Georgia under direction
of the United States coast and geo
detic survey.
Richard Smith, state geologist of
Georgia, said here Tuesday the work
was of ‘‘tremendous value” and jvill
be of untold assistance to local sur
veyors in establishing known land
marks throughout the state.
Crews of the geodetic survey go
into various areas, erect portable
steel towers from which observations
are made, establish markers arid go
to another area.
