RIVERS TELLS PASTORS
Georgia will pay more social se
curity benefits in November than
■•‘any other southern state,” Gov
ernor Rivers told the Atlanta Bap

trade, a more abundant life for all.”
The governor also stated that the

standing to something like twentieth

belief that within ten years Georgia

THREE BEARS RELEASED

Visitors to Vogel State Park are
■advised not to be alarmed if they
run across a big, black bear in the
forest there.
Three bears have been released
in the pa k by the United States
Forest Service. ,
“Black bears are harmless and
will run from man, woman or child,
so the person who sees one in the
woods should consider himself for
tunate instead of being alarmed,”
said Charles Elliott, director of the
state division of parks and monu
ments.
Several other bears are to be re
leased soon in the Chattahoochee
National Park near Vogel, Director
Elliott said.

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER
“The golden corn is in the crib,
The hay is in the mow,
The wheat is heaped within the bin,
The cotton baled, and now
Surely Thy people, Lord, should turn
In gratitude and praise
For the autumn harvest and Thy
care
Throughout the summer days.
Had the bright showers been, with
held,
The sunlight been withdrawn,
Had the little cooling winds been
stayed,
With no dew at the dawn,
Our lands would have been deso
late,
But Lord, dear Lord, instead,
Thy showers, Thy sun, Thy dew have
made
A fruiting fountain head
Of all America; and we
Who love our land, are glad;
We offer grateful thanks to Thee
For the blessings we have had.
j Forgive our much complaining.
Lord,
I Forget each doubt and fear,
I Make us more worthy of Thy care
I Throughout the coming year.”

SUGAR AND IRON WILL HALT
CANCER, SCIENTISTS FIND
New York.—Discovery that hypo
dermics of sugar and iron stop can
cer growth during treatment in most
cases in animals was announced in
Science, journal of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science.
While stopping growth is not a
cure, the sugar-iron medicine is im
portant for two reasons. It is more
in a growing list of substances with
power to retard cancer. It takes
advantage of one of cancer’s pe
culiarities —the affinity of the
growth for sugar.
The experiments were reported
by Richard M. Brickner, of the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons, of
Columbia University, and of the
Neurological Institute, New York
City, and Royal E. Grant, of the
institute.
Iron was selected for the cancer
attack because of its effect in other
experiments on growth. Sugar was
added to the iron to induce the can
cer to take up larger quanties of
the metal. The combination was in
the form of ferric gluconate.
Another new feature was injec
tion of the cancers also with dyes
—either red or blue. Sixty-four
rats were treated.
FINE DAY AT PENDERGRASS
(From Walton News)
Sunday, it being the fourth and
last quarterly conference occasion
for the conference year, was a
great day for the people of Pender
grass, Jackson county, Georgia, and
it was a very great pleasure, ex
perienced by the editor, Mrs. Cald
well, Mrs. E. C. McDowell, and Dan
McDowell, Jr., that they could be
present upon this occasion, hear a
fine sermon by Rev. John F. Yar
brough, the popular presiding elder,
and enjoy with the many present the
social hour and abundant and de
lightful dinner.
Pendergrass is the old home town
of Mrs. Caldwell, and the place of
interesting courtship for us more
than a quarter of a century ago, and
we always welcome the opportunity
to visit there.
MT. VIEW WOMAN’S CLUB

The air these days is full of
preachments against war. i think
everybody will agree that General
U. S. Grant knew something about
war. This is what he said: “I
doubt if ever a war was fought over
an issue that couldn’t have been
better settled in some other way.”

SMILING FACES
A small boy was asked to dine at
the home of a distinguished profes
sor. His mother questioned him on
“Then something did happen?”
“You are sure you didn’t do any
thing that was not perfectly polite?”
she asked.
“Why, no, nothing to speak of.”
“Then something did happen?”
“When, while I was trying to cut
the meat it slipped off to the floor.
But I carried the situation off all
right.”
“What did you do?”
“Oh, I just said carelessly, ‘That’s
always the way with tough meat’.”

PRESSES GOING AT FULL SPEED
TO ANSWER AMAZING DEMAND
Four weeks ago, we announced publication of eight
booklets on Georgia. We offered them, first, to Geor
gians for their own use. We made the additional offer
to send them free of all charge —to business and
personal friends and acquaintances of Georgians in
other states. We expected a large response, of course,
because we knew patriotic Georgians would welcome
an opportunity to advertise their state to the world.
But, we are frank to admit, the universal enthusiasm
with which our plan was greeted has exceeded our
fondest expectations. We already have sent tliesc book
lets— by the thousands —at your request, to:
45 States, the District of Columbia,
Bolivia, Canada, Germany, Holland,
France, the Hawaiian Islands
Result of this overwhelming response is that WE
ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF SEVERAL OF THE
BOOKLETS. We have many requests on hand which
we are unable to fill without a brief delay. We have
already started the presses to running on reprinting
them —in large quantities which we hope will take
care of all requests on hand and those which are yet to
come. It will take several days to complete the printing
of these booklets, in their original illustrated style, in
color. But it is now being done, so please be patient
with us. Your orders positively will be filled as quickly
as possible whether you have already sent them in,
or do so within the next few days.
Our Free Offer Still Goes!
We want you to see these book
lets and read them first. And
we want to mail them to others
in other states as you request it.
You can make your request
either by letter or by postal
card. All you have to do is to
send us your own name *r the
names of people of your ac
(1) Interesting Facts About Georgia; (2) Sports and Recrea
tion in Georgia; (3) Agriculture in Georgia; (4) Education in
Georgia; (5) Paper and Pulp Manufacturing and Opportunities
in Georgia; (6) Power and Industrial Growth in Georgia; (7)
Textile Manufacturing in Georgia; (8) Ceramics and Mineral
Resources of Georgia.
After you have made your list, send the names to us
—with the identifying numbers of the booklets you
want mailed opposite each name. Every request will get
attention as soon as the new edition of booklets is ready
—and the presses are now running!
