DESERVED SEVERE PUNISH
MENT
Some husbands do not agree with
the old adage that “man works from
sun to sun but woman’s work is
never done,” but we are glad to
know that one judge appreciates
woman’s w'ork.
In a New York court, a man was
hauled before the trial judge on the
charge of discrediting his wife and
alleging that she had an easy time
while he in turn was responsible for
making a living for the family. It
was shown that the wife cleaned up
the house, made up the beds, cook
ed the meals, washed the dishes and
did the family wash, besides nursing
and looking after the children.
These and other duties fell to the
lot of the wife, and yet the husband
complained of his wife not having
anything to do. The judge did not
agree with him, however, and im
pressed upon him his mistake by im
pojjng a fine and sentence.
JITTERS, jars ami jolts vanish when your car swings onto the concrete.
The long ribbon stretche? before you smooth, safe, inviting. There’s
less nervous tension and fatigue; no ruts, no chuck holes, no mud. Your
car is a better car, and you are a better driver.
You like concrete! And you should. You can depend on it. You know that,
wet or dry, its safe, non-skid surface grips tires and helps you stop
quickly. And by night its light color improves visibility. You can see
obstacles, pedestrians and the edge of the road.
You can t afford not to have concrete. For concrete actually costs less to
build than other roads of equal load-carrying capacity, and costs far less
for upkeep. What’s more, concrete saves in gas, tire and car repair bills.
Get the most for your money. Urge your highway officials to build com
fortable, safe, economical concrete roads.

UNFAIR TO TEACHERS
(From Greenville Piedmont)
School teachers as a whole never
have had a square deal at the hands
of the public they serve and another
instance of the neglect they suffer is
at hand: they are ineligible for
social security benefits.
Why shouldn’t teachers like all
other earners of salaries and wages
enjoy participation in the old age
retirement insurance plan?
Why should workers for mills,
stores, newspapers and all the rest
be given privileges which school
teachers are denied?
There are flaws in the social se
curity setup and this is one of them,
and an important one.
It should have congress’ atten
tion.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
BOONS TO MANKIND ARE
INCLUDED AMONG IN
VENTIONS OF PAST YEAR
Chicago.—Looking over a list of
devices including a keyhole funnel,
non-skid garters and a bullet-proof
vest that shouldn’t leak, Albert G.
Burns, of Almeda, Cal., opined Sat
urday:
“Yes sir, this has been one of the
greatest years for inventions since
they opened the patent office.”
Burns, president of the National
Inventors’ Congress, reviewed the
bright ideas of 1937 patented by
members of the Congress and found
no one “fired a rocket to the moon
or devised a golf ball that wouldn’t
hook, but some real boons to man
kind have turned up.” He added:
“Take the key hole funnel for in
stance. Most of us at one time or
another have thought how nice it
would be if we had a funnel on our
key hole when we came home those
dark nights.
“Well, Mr. Ralph A. Ringseis, of
San Francisco, has patented such a
device and gets hundreds of letters
from those husbands of America who
spend an evening with the boys or
just can’t miss that lodge meeting.
“Then there’s Mr. Alexander H.
Dunlop, of Chicago, who just has
been granted patent No. 2,076,076
for a bullet-proof Vest. Mr. Dunlop
is a peace-loving soul who will be
ready if the gangsters come. His
vest has two layers of armour plate
that overlap the connecting points.
Eliminating all possibility of an
‘Achilles heel.’
“Mr. Gustav Sjolander, of Mid
land, Mich., is another with the pub
lic interest at heart. Mr. Sjolander
conceived the idea it would be sim
pler to change tires on the highway
if the jack could be reached easily.
So he invented an attachment for a
jack on each auto bumper that does
away with crawling and squirming
on the ground to get the jack in
place.
“I could name others, like the
non-skid gp.rters for men with
twitchy legs, invented by Miss Sarah
Lipton, of New York, and water
proof matches invented by Mr.
Thomas L. Cunningham, also of
New York, for the convenience of
swimmers and hunters.”
Burns said some of these and
“everything else new under the
sun” would be exhibited September
14 to 17 in Des Moines, la., at the
congress’ annual midwestern show.

Clarence Chandler played softly
while Mrs. F’red Bennett read the
report:
Life consists of sunshine and
shadows, both literally and figura
tively. Even as one basks in the
light and energy from the sun, one
is casting a shadow.
Death is one of life’s darkest
shadows, but “thanks be unto God
for His unspeakable gift,” death is
through our Lord and Savior only
a shadow, and not eternal darkness.
We read in Genesis concerning the
creation, “And the evening and the
morning were the first day.” The
light of the morning follows the
shadow., of the even-tide:
So shall we look to the light of
the resurrection to transcend all
shadows of grief and loneliness,
which the separation from loved
ones has caused, and so shall we
treasure the sunshine of the happy
memories concerning their words
and deeds as they lived among us.
The deceased are, since reunion in
August, 1936:
Mrs. Jim Davis, Gainesville; Mrs.
Andy Mitchell, Greene County; Mrs.
Henry Hutchins, Commerce; Mrs.
Martha Hutchins, Commerce; Mrs.
Alec Ray, Commerce.
The memorial was closed with
prayer by Mrs. Fred Bennett.

Farm Hand’s Error Makes Hoeing
Hard
Georgetown, Ga.—Joe Gary’s ne
gro hired hand has a hard row to
hoe!
When Gary, a farmer near here,
sent his hired man to the barn for
a sack of fertilizer, the negro took
a sack of pement by mistake to
fertilize the growing cotton fields.
The error was not discovered
until the cement was mixed with the
soil—and rain did the rest.

Are Doing Be*t
Atlanta.—lf you want to hpow
where business is best in Georgia,
ask Marcus McWhorter, the man who
dispenses automobile tags.
“It’s easy to tell,” he says, “when
and where people are spending
money freely.
“Yesterday, for instance, we sold
350 of the $3 tags.
“Most of these went to south
Georgia, where tobacco has just
been sold and the farmers have
money to spend.
“When the cotton-selling season
gets here in full blast, we can tell
which section of the state realized
the most profit by the figures for
tag sales.”
The sales soon will reveal another
fact, too, he explains.
“When the new models come on
the market this fall, we’ll know how
well the public likes the style

ersville was inspected Friday by Col
onel Sands and Lieutenant Colonel
Wyche, representing General Mose
ley, of the fourth corps area, and by
Colonel Alexander and Major El
liott, representing General Stoddard,
of the Georgia national guard.

ment Administration. Approximate
ly 5,000 acres would be used, and
about 4,500 officers and men would

season each year.
Flock of Geese, Ahead of Time,
Start Argument
Atlanta.—A flock of wild geese
flying southward recently had ama
teur and professional weather fore
casters divided over the question of
whether the early migration is an
indication of approaching cold
weather.
The amateur group, which be
lieved in signs rather than instru
ments, insisted that the birds had a
tip on the weather situation and
were heading south to avoid an
early winter.
George W. Mindling, head of the
Atlanta Weather Bureau, said he
doubted that a probable early win
ter was the cause of the flight.
“The early flight might have
been caused by a number of things
that only the birds themselves
know about,” he declared. “We
might have an early winter, but it
won’t be because there was an early
night of geese,” he added.
