HILL-BILLY YARN
The Hilly-Billy hadn’t taken a
bath for a long, long time. The sit
uation grew so bad that his family
finally deputized a committee to
force him to take a bath.
The mountaineer objected strenu
ously. He kicked, and he squawked,
and he beefed. But it did him no
good. A few hours later he found
himself in the bath-house, reluctant
ly removing his clothes before the
watchful eyes of the deputies.
Soon, he was down to his long,
flannel underwear. And, as he step
ped out of the underwear the de
puties were astounded to find that
the man was wearing a sweather.
“Well, fan my brow,” marveled
one deputy. “I’ll be doggoned if he
ain’t wearin’ a sweater under his
long underwear!”
The hill-billy studied the woolen
garment that covered his chest.
“Can yer imagine thet?” he drawl
e<l- “And here I’ve bin searehin’
I'ngh and low fer thet sweater fer
over two years!” . . .

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN’T
COME
My father says the paper he reads
ain’t put up right;
He finds a lot of fault, too, he does,
persuin’ it all night;
He says there ain’t a single thing in
it worth to read.
And that it doesn’t print the kind of
stuflF the people need;
He tosses it aside, and says it’s
sti’ictly on the bum;
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn’t come.”

400,000 TREES WILL BE PLANTED
Anew tree planting season has
begun in the Soil Conservation Ser
vice area near Athens, where 400,-
000 trees will be planted on farms
of cooperators during the winter
and early spring, according to O. D.
Hall, pi-oject manager of the Sandy
Creek Soil Conservation Service
area. A total of 2,796,530 had been
planted on the area previous to this
season.
Tree planting is a phase of the
land use program for soil and water
conservation on steep and severely
eroded land. Retiring such land to
trees leaves the more gently sloping
land, where erosion progresses less
rapidly, for cultivated.
Where seed trees of desirable
•species, are present in sufficient num
ber to insure adequate natural re
production within three years, na
tural reforestation is depended upon
in the erosion-control area. Other
wise artificial reforestation is used.
TEN FIRE PERILS IN
THE HOME ARE LISTED
When you curl up under the
blankets, light a cigaret and prepare
10 read a good book, take note that
you are regarded as a menace to life
r.nd property.
The following 10 species of fire
bugs have been listed:
No. 1 is the smoke-in-bed, £rom
whose fingers, all too frequently, a
cigaret drops to the floor or rolls
into bedclothing to start a serious
blaze.
No. 2 is the “woman” who uses an
electric curling iron, then lays it,
still hot, on a wooden shelf and
walks away carelessly while flames
spread.
No. 3 is the free-style flicker of
matches and ashes. This includes
the fellow who builds a nest in the
Sunday paper and stews hot ashes
about him as he reads.
No. 4 is the handy man who in
stalls yards and yards of extension
cord in his home, runs frayed cord
under rugs and carpets and hangs
them over radiators.
No. 5 is the basement firebug, who
absent-mindedly dumps hot ashes in
to basketfuls of rubbish and waste
paper, then bounds up stairs with
never a care in the world.
No. 6 is the woman who dumps
rags saturated with cleaning fluid
into the furnace.
No. 7 is the housewife who cleans
clothing with naphtha and then uses
a hot iron on it.
No. 8 on the list is the person who
is always tearing apart electric pow
er line plugs and household gadgets
to see what’s wrong with them. It’s
seldom he gets them together so that
they’re safe again.
No. 9 is the housewife who sweeps
matches and other objects into warm
air registers.
No. 10 is the man who provides
his guests with matches that lose
their heads and ash trays that won’t
keep cigaret from rolling off on the
floor.
Statistics distributed throughout
the country during fire prevention
week shows an average of 8,000
deaths each year from fire.
In 1935, insurance companies esti
mated $250,000,000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed by fire.
Last September, Kenneth Pritch
ette, a 7-year-old boy at Tallapoosa,
swallowed a tack. Last Wednesday
in Atlanta at a hospital the tack was
removed from his lung by the use
of a fluoroscope. When he swallow
ed the tack there was no pain, neith
er did he suffer any ill consequences
until last week, when he was seized
with a fit of coughing. He was
rushed to the hospital, where the
operation was performed. Children
should be taught that tacks have no
place in their mouths.
A Three Days 7 Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial Irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word—not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you’ll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)
DuPONT OUTLINES
PROGRAM TO HELP
CREATE NEW JOBS
New York—A two-to-10-year plan
to create 3,000,000 new jobs through
planned investment of $25,000,000,-
000 by private industry was proposed
today by Lamot DuPont, president
of E. I. DuPont De Nemours and
Cos., in an address at the National
Association of Manufacturers Con
vention.
DuPont pictured bringing about a
new era with eventual elimination of
poverty and unemployment through
this three-fold program:
1. “Development and populariza
tion of new products.”
2. “Vastly broadening the market
for existing products through lower
ing their cost.”
3. “Maintaining a rule of fair re
turn for all effort, not excepting
capital effort.”
Industry can put this plan into ef
fect, he said, if given a “fair oppor
tunity” through a three-fold govern
mental pledge covering these points:
1. “Stabilization of tax rates over
a definite period.”
2. “Stabilization of fair laboring
conditions over a definite period.”
3. Immediate stabilization of the
“legal rules” under which business
must operate, subject only to “un
mistakable public demand” for
amendment.
He said the actual rate of taxes,
or the actual scale of wages or hours
were not as important as stabiliza
tion.
DuPont was emphatic in saying he
was criticizing nobody for past dif
ficulties.
While he suggested no detailed
plans for a $25,000,000,000 financ
ing program, a task he described as
“staggering”, comparable to the
government’s world-war financing
which was managed by co-operation
of all agencies, DuPont, whose finan
cial ability is respected in Wall
street, said “it is neither hopeless
nor impossible.”
PROFANE UKELELE
Susie and her mother, who live in
Atlanta, were spending their vaca
tion in the mountains of North Caro
lina.
One day the landlady’s daughter
loaded several of her guests in an
old automobile and took them on a
fruit and vegetable-buying expedi
tion.
Out in a particularly sparsely set
tled section of the mountains, the
car stopped dead. The owner sent
word back to the nearest garage,
and while the party were waiting
for the mechanic to arrive, Susie
got out her ukulele and began strum
ming a tune.
Scarcely had the music begun be
fore a gawky young mountaineer
emerged from a nearby cabin, stroll
ed over and asked Susie to pick one
of his favorite tunes on “that thar
fiddle.”
Susie said, “This isn’t a fiddle.
This is a ukulele.”
The mountain youth did not answ
er, but in a few minutes he spat to
bacco juice expertly across the road
and said, “Now, you play that thar
leetle fiddle some more.”
“But this is NOT a fiddle,” re
plied Susie with spirit. “It’s a uku
lele. Can’t you say ‘ukulele?’ ”
“No,” replied the mountaineer,
“my paw don’t ’low me to use no
cuss words!”

HOSTESS TO MEETING

when the roll was called each mem
ber repeated a verse of scripture as
•he made her offering.
Decorations beautifully portrayed
the Yuletide in the colorful effect.
A small tree sparkling in tinsel and
gay ornaments with a large candle
representing the star made a most
attractive centerpiece on the table
with the contribution plate nearby
for the birthday offering.
Following the meeting a miscel
laneous shower was given for Miss
Mary Frances Mathews, popular
bride-elect who will wed Mr. A. L.
Stone of Sanford, during the holi
days.
Lohengrin’s wedding march was
played by Mrs. Rylee as the honoree
entered with Mrs. Fred Anthony
and Mrs. Doyle Acree, who carried
the gifts into the living room where
the beautifully wrapped packages
were opened by Miss Matthews.
Lovely refreshments followed.
The guests included Mrs. Fanny

MEDICAL MEN URGE
LEGISLATION TO CARE
FOR INDIGENT SICK
Atlanta, Ga.—The Medical Asso
ciation of Georgia is urging prompt
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment which was introduced in the
Senate during the past week. The
amendment is designed to provide a
way for all counties in the state to
take care of their indigent sick,
through the co-operation of county
officials and health agencies in
establishing clinics, hospitals and
other necessary means to meet this
need.
Attention is called by the physi
cians to the great need for more
hospitals in the state. Only twenty
counties in Georgia have adequate
hospital facilities, and in only a few
of the one hundred and fifty nine
counties can citizens without means
to pay obtain the necessary hospital
care. Under the provisions of the
amendment, counties in the sparsely
settled areas of the state could pool
their resources and meet the needs
of their poor who need medical at
tention.
The Association, composed of a
majority of physicians in Georgia,
states that during the past year al
most five hundred women, many of
whom did not have adequate medical
and hospital care, died in Georgia
giving birth to children. Equally
lamentable is the fact that more
than four thousand Georgians died
during the same period of time un
attended by a physician.
