IRON SKELETON MEMORIALIZES
SWEETHEART
Deserving a prominent place in
the annals of what’s odd and what’s
unique is the uncanny method chos
en by an Atlanta woman who seeks
to keep afresh in her memory the
sweetheart who was drowned a year
'ago at Jacksonville.
The woman, Miss Frances Lan
drum, has had an iron skeleton, 6
feet 2 inches tall, made to measure
ments supplied by her, which she
said were identical with those of her
mourned lover.
The skeleton, a trifle ghastly,
Miss Landrum said, is her idea. For
almost a year she pondered over
what she could have done that would
keep afresh in her mind the memory
of her former sweetheart.
‘I don’t know what there was
about the idea to have a skeleton
made that so appealed to me, but it
did, so I went to an iron-working
place where I told the man what I
wanted. He seemed a little startled
at first, but when he saw I was sin
cere he began drawing sketches which
I approved. It only took them a few
days to make it,” Miss Landrum
said.
Asked if she intended to dress
the skeleton, Miss Landrum said:
“Yes, I think I’ll paint it with
luminous paint.”
But Miss Landrum is not going to
stop at that. She is going to have
glass reflectors placed in the eye
sockets.
The skull is attached to the rest
of the iron framework by a strap of
spring steel.
MORE OF THAT TRADE-AT
HOME GOSPEL
Just at this time of year, when the
people of our section are realizing
a more or less gratifying income
from their year’s activities with
their crops, there is, of course, a
greater determination on the part of
the mail order houses to throw out
every conceivable net, to draw in the
dimes and dollars. The mails, in
these early autumn days, as will be
seen if our people care to watch the
rural free delivery carriers, are
heavy with catalogs, circulars and
other types of printed matter, call
ing the rural shoppers to their places
in distant cities. This program is
not only now, dear readers, but it
is a practice fifty-two weeks in
every calendar year. It all goes to
show that wherever people are suf
ficiently interested in keeping trade
at home, to the extent they will tell
the people of their goods and invite
them to pay them a visit through
the local press, they will have much
to do with overshadowing much of
this propaganda for far-away mer
chants. We have always believed
in, practiced and preached the
"Trade-at-Home” gospel and yet,
after all that, we have known of
local people placing their orders
with foreign printshops for station
ery and other forms of printing that
could be gotten at their door at very
reasonable prices, and, as for quality
of materials, better than they get
away from home. We are for our
local business men because they are
the builders of all our worthwhile
interests, supporting, as they do,
the churches, schools, and paying
taxes for the advance and mainten
ance of our governmental structure.

WHEN 111,000 DIED
(From Southern Farmer)
A generation has passed since the
sinking of the Titanic, yet that great
disaster is still well remembered.
Fifteen hundred persons died.
The Johnsontown flood will never
be forgotten—the world was aghast
when the death of 2,209 was tabu
lated.
The world war was the most san
guinery conflict in history. In it
50,000 Americans lost their lives,
and they are still mourned.
The recent Texas school explos
ion, which killed 294 children,
brought universal sympathy and hor
ror.
Yet later 111,000 Americans met
accidental death—more than twice
as many as were killed in the great
war—and it caused hardly a ripple
in the flow of news. We read of
some of those accidents in our paper
—“John Jones, aged 45, died in
emergency hospital after being struck
by an automobile”—turned the page,
and forgot them. This astounding
callousness—this attitude of “Acci
dents always happen to the other
fellow, not to me and mine”—is
death’s greatest ally.
Among men, heart disease is the
only thing which kills more than
accidents. Such plagues as cancer,
tuberculosis, pneumonia plagues
which are being fought by all the
resources of science—are down the
list. Recklessly driven automobiles,
burns, falls, drownings, and so on—
these are the great killers.
Practically every accident is pre
ventable—and this is especially true
of the motor car, greatest of all the
great killers. Care, competence,
courtesy—these make up the acci
dent prevention triumvirate. It’s
up to you—to all of us.
LINDY STILL AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN
Announcement that Colonel Char
les A. Lindbergh has applied for re
newal of his commission in the Army
Air Corps Reserves sets at rest ru
mors that he might relinquish his
American citizenship and reside per
manently in England.
That such a move has not been
the intention of one of modern avia
tion’s outstanding heroes is now ap
parent. The more likely explana
tion that his residence abroad has
been in the interests of American
aviation in trans-Atlantic air lines
now gains credence.
Idol of thousands of American
boys, his achievement in first flying
the Atlantic alone remains undim
med. Even greater was his personal
heroism in a tragedy that brought
him the sympathy of a nation—the
kidnap-murder of his son.
“Lindy” is still a hero—and he
still belongs to the United States.

January Floods Reveal
Strength of Red Cross
Aid Given 1,062,000 Persona Through
Set-Up bjr Agency
The elasticity and scope of Red Cro-a
dtsastei work Is shown In a recent re
pott on Ited Cross relief measures dur
lng the unparalleled Oblo-Mlsslsslppl
Valley llood of this year.
At the height ot the emergency Red
Cross relief offices were established in
182 Inundated counties and In 146 coun
ties where refugees were cared for. the
report stated. Eight regional bead
quarters office* controlled the 328 coun
ly offices, and were in turn supervised
by the National Red Cross In Washing
ton. D. C.
A statistical summary of persons
aided by the organization Indicates
that the Hoods constituted the greatest
peace-time etneigency ever faced by
the nation The Red Cross gave some
form ol assistance to 1.062.000 men, wo
men and children From January to
August hundred* of trained workers
helped by thousands of volunteers ad
ministered to the sufferers.
A Red Cross rescue Heet of 5100
boats was organized, according to the t
report. Emergency hospitals estab
lished totaled 300 and 3GOO nurses were
assigned to flood duty. In more than
1.000 refugee centers the victims of
the Hood were sheltered, clothed and
fed. Through the Red Cross medical
health program and the work or public
health agencies sickness was kept to
normal for the time of year in all
Inundated areas.
Because of its disaster experience
the Red Cross was directed by the
President of the l nited States, who is
also president of the Red Cross, to co
ordinate the effort of all federal Hood
relief groups. Government and Red
Cross officials met daily at the Red
Cross headquarters building in Wash
lngton to plan relief measures and pre
vent duplication of effort.
“We were fortunate In having 56
years of disaster relief experience to
call upon in meeting the emergency,”
Admiral Gary T. Grayson, chairman of
the Red Cross, said.
It was found that 97,000 families
composed of 436,000 persons had to
have tfieir resources supplemented or
an entirely new start provided by the
Red Cross, the report stated. Red Cross
emergency and rehabilitation assist
ance was as follows: rescue, trans
portation and shelter for 62.000 fam
llies: food, clothing and mainte
nance for 193.000 families; bulging and
repair for 27,000 families: household
goods for 90,000 families: medical,
nursing and sanitation help tor 15,060
families; agricultural rehabilitation for
10.000 families; other occupational aid
for 3,000 families and other types of
relief for 4,000 families.
“Credit for this largest peace-time
relief operation In the history of the
nation must go to the American people
who contributed a Red Cross relief
fund of more than $25,000,000," Admiral
Grayson said.
During the yeai the Red Cross gave
aid to the victims of 105 other dis
asters in 36 states. Alaska and the
District of Columbia. The Red Cross
financed the majority of these relief
operations from money contributed
through memberships during the an
nual Roll Call last November, since it Is
only in case of large scale disasters
that a national drive for relief funds is
made.
This year the Roll Call Is from No
vember 11th to the 25th. The Red Cross
seeks a greater membership to meet
its disaster reliei and other service
obligations during 1938.
Last year Red Cross Chapters gave
vital help to 120,000 needy families.
Red Cross Replaces Farm
Family Losses
The Red Cross gave agricultural
rehabilitation to 10,116 farm fam
ilies following the severe eastern
floods of las. winter. Types of aid
included feed, seed, livestock, farm
tools and machinery and other items
essential to agricultural productiv
ity. More than $599,000 was ex
pended by the organization to meet
these requirements.
in addition to occupational as
sistance, rural families hard hit by
the flood waters were rescued,
clothed, fed and sheltered by the
Red Cross. Where it was necessary
the Red Cross repaired and re
built out-buildings, barns and other
structures. Medical and nursing
care were provided and homes re
furnished.
Red Cross agricultural rehabilita
tion benefited nearly three times as
many families as received all other
types of Red Cross occupational re
habilitation combined.
Labor's advocacy of the Red Cross
program ts attested by recent state
ments from William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor
and John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America.
“Red Cross aims and purposes are
highly commendable and deserving of
the support of all classes of people,"
said Mr. Greea.
“The activities and service of the
American Red Cross satisfy a great
need of the people, and 1 strongly urge
that it receive the unqualified support
of all during its annual Roll Call for
members." Mr. Lewis said.

THE SOUTH IS SUFFERING
In an interesting article appearing
in the Progressive Farmer, written
by Dr. David Cushman Coyle, it is
shown that the the South is paying
out billions more than it can ever
hope to regain. While the South
is selling much of its assets such a
policy cannot be continued without
going into bankruptcy.
Ten definite suggestions for the
farmers of the South are offered by
Dr. Coyle, which we believe, if fol
lowed, would restore this section to
normalcy again. The suggestions
are as follows:
“1. We must add soil-building to
soil use—regard it just as much our
duty to build fertility as to con
sume it.
“2. Add live-at-home farming to
money crops farming.
“3. Add animal production to
plant production—get adequate pro
fits from producing livestock, dairy,
and poultry products as well as
crops.
“4. Add winter farming to sum
mer farming—have our fields pro
ducing Igrain and soil-improving
crops in winter as well as .money
crops in summer.
“5. Add scientific forest man
agement to scientific field manage
ment.
“6. Add processing profits to
producing profits.
“7. Add marketing skill to pro
ducing skill.
“8. Add community achievement
to individual achievement.
“9. Add the power of organiza
tion to the power of personal effort.
“10. Add skill as a business man
—skill in budget-making, saving,
and investing—to skill as a farmer.”
Let us hope that the farmers will
follow and live up to the foregoing
suggestions, which, after all, appear
to be the saving grace for our peo
ple.
