i * s —
THE TEACHER
A builder budded a temple,
He wrought it with grace and
skill;
Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to do his will.
Men said, as they saw its beauty,
“It shall never know decay,
“Great is thy skill, O Builder,
“Thy fame shall endure for aye.”
A teacher builded a temple
With loving and infinite care,
Planning each arch with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
None praised her unceasing efforts,
None knew of her wondrous plan;
For the temple the teacher builded
Was unseen by the eyes of man.
Gone is the biulder’s temple
Crumbled into the dust;
Low lies each stately pillar
Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the teacher builded
W’ill last while the ages roll,
For that beautiful unseen temple
Is a child’s immortal soul.
—Author Unknown.

COLORED PEOPLES 4-H CLUB
NEWS
Miss C. Weems, the assistant state
agent, visited our county Monday,
September 20th, for the purpose of
attending the county council. Due
to the date being changed, she was
not present at our meeting last Fri
day, the 24th. Due to work being
done on the Athens highway, the
members of various communities
could not be present. The faithful
president, Mrs. J. Aker, from near
Commerce, and Miss Eugenia Boone,
H. D. A., found anew route, and
were there on time. We had only
seven present, yet I feel that much
good was accomplished, for Miss
Boone always brings new and help
ful lessons to us, for which we
thank her.
It will soon be time for me to
make my annual report. Please, all
of clubs and councils, send in your
annual reports to me. You have
done much good work, and do not
fail to get your reports in on time,
so that others may know what the
club folks of Jackson couniy have
done and are doing.

Tom Daniel, the father of Charlie
Daniel, who lives in Jefferson, died
September 14. He was found dead
in bed late in the day, when his wife
thought him quietly sleeping, and
went to awake him. He had left for
his Heavenly Home. He was a good
neighbor, husband and father. A
good citiden, and was respected by
all who knew him. I believe he is
now resting in the Great Beyond,
for he said God had touched his soul.
It is our loss, but Heaven’s gain.

Commerce 4-H Club New*
We, the 4-H Club of Johntown
Public School, met on September
16th, with 49 members present.
Twelve new members were added
to our club. We were glad to have
our H. D. A. with us again. She
complimented our work for the
good reports sent her during her
illness. New officers were elected in
place of those who left to attend
high school, which numbered seven
in all.
Nineteen girls reported on year
round gardens, and 36 boys reported
other projects carried, which they re
ceive ready cash from. Our 11. D.
A. complimented our school teach
ers for having such a large number
of club girls and boys ready for
high school. She said that their
foundation gotten here, “just helped
them to climb the hills, and the
mountains were yet to climb.” The
officers of our club were notified to
attend the joint county council to
be held on September 24th.

The new officers of the club have
promised to be good leaders, and the
members promised that wherever
they lead we would follow, if their
leading meant to make the best bet

THE SUCCESS OF THE CIVILIAN
CONSERVATION CORPS
On October 1 the Civilian Conser
vation Corps will abandon nearly
250 of its camps, reducing the num
ber to the lowest level since the
corps was organized in 1933. The
number of enrolles will fall below
200,000 for the first time—although
new enrollments will quickly bring
it far above that figure.
The history of this corps, when it
is finally written, will be one of the
most interesting and revealing of
all commentaries on our attempt to
end the depression. It gave some
hundreds of thousands of young
men the break they had been looking
for—jobs, incomes, the feeling that
the country could, after all, use their
services; it got an enormous amount
of useful work done, and it put our
woodland and soil resources in bet
ter shape than they had been in for
decades.
Altogether, the CCC has been a
useful institution, and the fact that
it is beginning to shrink simply mir
rors the fact that the emergency
which called it into being is no long
er so pressing.
Here is a story concerning the
origin of “Dixie:” Before the War
Between the States, a bank in New
Orleans issued $lO bills that were
engraved in English on one side and
in French on the other. The French
side bore the word “Dix,” the
French word for “ten.” The Amer
icans throughout the Mississippi val
ley, not knowing French called the
bills “Dixies” and the land came to
be known as the “land of dixies” or
“Dixie Land.”
NORTHEAST GEORGIA BAPTIST
MINISTERS OPPOSE WET LAWS
By a unanimous vote of the
Northeast Georgia Baptist Ministers
Conference, representing eight Bap
tist Associations, 284 churches with
58,284 members, covering Lincoln,
Wilkes, Taliaferro, Oglethorpe,
Clarke, McDuffie, Warren, Hart, El
bert, Barrow, Walton, Gwinnett,
Jackson, Morgan and Greene coun
ties, the following resolution was
passed at Athens, September 13,
1937.
“Resolved that this conference
goes on record as being opposed to
any change in our present laws so
as to permit sales of intoxicating li
quors in any counties in the state,
and we so petition our legislators
not to make any changes.
“We call on all Christian people
in the churches or counties that we
represent to see personally their
representatives and senators and
urge them to do all they can to pre
vent such action.
“We urge all the Christian peo
ple in each county to form an active
organization to see that the laws are
enforced in their counties and to
confer personally with all the of
ficers in their county whose duty is
to enforce the law% and to make it
plain that the majority of the peo
ple will back them to the limit in
performing their duty.
“We request that every church,
every community cooperate in a
campaign to teach our youth the
actual effects of alcoholic liquors on
body, mind and spirit.
“We also urge that every associ
ation represented this conference
appoint strong committees to assist
in this program of education.”

LIFT COUNTIES’ WELFARE COST
Counties that expend an equal or
greater amount in salaries for
qualified workers in their county wel
fare departments need not deposit
their 10 per cent of the welfare cost
with the State Department of Public
Welfare, according to a ruling of
Attorney General M. J. Yeomans
made public Saturday.
Furthermore, Judge Yeomans said,
if a county is unable to contribute
its 10 per cent in any form except
through an “unreasonable or con
fiscatory tax,” it may so certify to
the state department, whereupon
that county’s share may be paid
from the state appropriation.
Under the welfare act 50 per cent
of the welfare benefits are to be
paid by the federal government, 40
per cent by the state and 10 per
cent by the counties.
Under this ruling all a county has
to do to escape paying its 10 per
cent is to take the equivalent of a
“pauper’s oath” and have the state
pay it, it was believed at the Capitol
Saturday.

Gang of Flimflam Swindle Artists
Believed Held
Atlanta.—What is believed to be
an organized gang of negro swind
lers, specializing on negro farmers
now “in the money” as a result of
sale of their crops, was reported
Monday by city detectives.
Six negroes arrested Sunday, are
being held at police headquarters
on suspicion.
Detectives said they believed the
negro farmers of these two counties
had been swindled out of approxi
mately $15,000 this fall by negroes
who posed as prospective farm buy
ers. The swindlers, detectives said,
employed the old “pocketbook gag,”
a swindle which has been practiced
for many years.
The prospective farm purchasers,
after looking over the negro’s farm,
would report discovery of a purse
containing a thousand dollar bill.
Offering to divide with the farmer
the swindler would disappear with
all of the farmer’s cash when the
farmer produced the money to
change the thousand dollar bill.
