Thousands Of Trees Arrive
(From Athens Times)
Two truck loads of trees will ar
rive at the Sandy Creek Erosion
Area soon from the Louisiana State
Nursery. Clyde Boggs and J. R.
Johnson, of the forestry department
of the Sandy Creek Soil Erosion Ser
vice, who left Wednesday for Alex
andria, La., for the trees, expect to
bring back 500,000 slash pine. The
remainder of the lot will be red
maple, water oak, and sycamore.
The forestry department has exper
ienced great difficulty in finding
trees enough to plant. The slash
pine has been brought into promin
ence recently on account of the ex
periments carried on by Dr. Charles
H. Herty. He has found that a good
grade of print paper can be made
from these pines. It has also been
discovered recently that by cultivat
ing these pines that their growth can
be hastened to the age of commercial
value.

never go to church; §fty per cent
never contribute a cent to the work
of the church; seventy-five per cent
never go to the mid-week prayer
service; ninety per cent do not have
family worship in their homes; nine
ty-five per cent never try to win a
lost soul to Christ.
DON’T SIGN COUPONS
(By Ken Kimbel, in Macon News)
If a stranger comes to your door
and asks you to draw an envelope
from the stack she has in her hand;
then exclaims enthusiastically about
how lucky you are for you have
drawn a coupon that entitles you to
a $25 oil painting of your favorite
photograph free; BEWARE.
She shows you that nearly all the
envelopes in her hand are empty to
prove how lucky you are. (Ha-Ha.)
They are just doing this to get ac
quainted. They are going to -give
you a $25 oil painting ABSOLUTE
LY FREE. (Hooey.)
You just sign the coupon you
found in your lucky (?) envelope.
That is what she tells you. BUT,
don’t sign that coupon unless you
wish to pay S2O or $25 for a picture
frame. You’ll notice on the coupon,
right over where you sign that you
agree to purchase a frame to go
with the oil painting. She doesn t
mention that, but it is there on the
contract.
You ask her the price of the frame
and she tells you she doesn t know
—which is surely not true, "i ou ask
her what is the lowest priced frame
they have and she also tells you she
doesn’t know. But, she doesn t
waste any more time on you once
you smell the mouse.
This is being worked in Macon
right now. A friend of mine in New'
London, Conn., suffered from it. His
wife signed up. He objected. And
he had quite a time getting his own
photograph back. They threatened
to sue him to make him buy the
frame.
It is among the probabilities that
Georgia will follow in the footsteps
of Alabama, her neighbor state,
when the vote is taken on the repeal
measure. Alabama voted to retain
her dry law by 5,000 majority.—

Looks Like Preparation For
War
Germany Saturday took over the
Versailles treaty and announced the
impending creation of an army of
perhaps 500,000 men under the pro
war system of universal conscrip
tion.
European nations were astounded
in apprehension but apparently un
decided over what action would be
taken, if any.
The French, British, and Italian
cabinets were expected to hold em
ergency meetings to determine a
court of action.
The decision was that Germany’s
move would be glossed over with
diplomatic phases and a possible
joint statement renewing the sug
gestion for a European pact of
netureal security and non aggres
sion.
The United States was interested
but aloof. Washington officials
made no comment but were watch
ing the situation.
The cabinet of Adolf Hitler ap
proved a law providing for univer
sal military service. The law is ef
fective immediately.
The cabinet iterated Germany’s
objections to the Versailles treaty,
which limited German arms.
The Nazi cabinet's decision came
at a critical moment in the European
arms race.
France yesterday adopted an ex
tension conscrip service from one
year, two years, with Premier Pierre-
Tienne Flandin citing to the cham
ber of deputies the rearmament of
Germany. He said the Reich would
have 600,009 soldiers in 1936.
Only a few days ago, the Nazi
Air Minister Herman Wilhelm Goer
ing declared that Germany was giv
ing part of her aviation service a
military basis. The Versailles
treaty bars such action.

SENATE AND HOUSE
APPROVE ACT FOR
OLD AGE PENSION
Voters of Georgia will have an
opportunity in the next general
election to vote on a constitutional
amendment providing for old-age
pensions.
This was assured Friday afternoon
when the iiou.se of representatives
concurred in two senate amendments
to the old-age pension proposal orig
inally passed by the lower legislative
branch several weeks ago. By con
curring in the amendments the
house sent the step
on its way toward submission to the
people.
Representative Spencer M. Gray
son, of Chatham, sponsored the old
age pension plan in the house and
moved concurrence in the senate
amendments, which provided that
the ‘'general assembly “may levy a
uniform per capita tax” to pay pen
sions to the aged poor, but that “no
debt may be created against the
state.”
That is to say, no old-age pen
sions can be paid until the tax is
levied for that purpose and the
mQney available.
t)ld-age 'pensions are how in force
in several states of the union and
the Federal Government is propos
ing to co-operate with states which
have old-age pension laws by furn
ishing a part of the money for pay
ment. .
‘WHITE PARADE’ TELLS LIFE
OF YOUNG NURSES
Jetae L. Laaky Quote* Tribute Of
Theodore Rooaevelt To Profeion
A tribute paid to the nursing
profession by the late President
Theodore Roosevelt, following a
siege in a hospital, provides the in
spiration and theme for Jesse L.
Lasky’s “The White Parade,” the
tremendous Fox Film production
which opens today at the Roosevelt
Theatre.
First film to glorify America’s
“young ladies in white,” “The
White Parade” was made at the Fox
Film studios under the direction of
Irving Cummings, with Loretta
Young and John Boles in thg lead
ing roles.
In keeping with the theme and
spirit of the production, “The White
Parade” is dedicated to the memory
of the immortal Florence Nightin
gale, founder of modern nursing,
and the idol and pattern of those
who pursue this profession.
In his tribute to nurses, Roosevelt
said in part:
“It is almost worth while to be
sick, to meet such people and see
the splendid work they are doing
in the hospitals. Take the nurses
-—clean, healthy, young women,
full of life and spirit. At an age
when their thoughts might be devot
ed to pleasure, they do the hardest
kind of work, much of it unpleas
ant, nearly all of its depressing—and
not for pay, but because they want
to fit themselves for service.
“Thank God I always respected
American womanhood —and if any
one asks you what I think of the
nursing profession, tell them I said
no, they are not angels—they are
too practical for that—but they aic
trumps, every one of them.”
Leading organizations of nurses,
including the American Nurses’ As
sociation, have praised the work of
Producer Lasky and his staff in
bringing “The White Parade” to
the screen.
The screen-plaV, “The White Pa
rade,” was written by Rian James
and Jesse Lasky, Jr., from a novel
by the former, and with adaptation
by Sonya Levien and Ernest Pascal.
In the cast supporting Loretta
Young and John Boles are Dorothy
Wilson, Muriel Kirkland, frank
Conroy, Astrid Ailwyn, Joyce Comp
ton, Jane Darwell, Sara Haden, Pol
ly Ann Young, Frank Melton and
Walter Johnson.
“The White Parade” has. been
acclaimed by preview audiences as a
deeply stirring human document—a
story of “the girls nobody know's, the
student nurses.”
The thirty-fourth session of the
Womans Missionary Union of the
Sarepta Baptist Association is an
nounced to convene today, March 21,
at 10 a. m., with the Baptist church
in Danielsville. Quite a large num
ber of prominent women will be in
attendance.
