the present crop of youthful players
on the screen today are Scott Col
ton and Patricia Farr, teamed for
the first time.
It’s a story of a champion prep
school athlete who went to college
to study, instead of compete in

by a girl to join the team and be
comes the chief cog in the school

by Joe Twerp. Supporting these
players are Jimmy Eagles, Arthur
Loft, Gene Morgan, Eddie Fether
ston, Vernon Dent, Donald Briggs,
Ruth Hilliard, Bud Jamison, Frank
Wilson, Donald Bart-y and many

HOSCHTON CITY OFFICIALS
The citizens of Hoschton have
named the following city officials for
the coming year: Mayor, L. B.
Moon; Councilmen, J. W. Healan,
Harlan Sell, Dean Lott, Hoyt Cruce,
L. C. Allen, and Ralph Freeman.
“UNDER SUSPICION"
STARRING JACK HOLT
“Under Suspicion, * Columbia’s
newest “whodunit" starring Jack
Holt and adapted to the screen from
Philip Wylie’s widely read magazine
story, will next grace the screen at
the Roosevelt Theatre, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The cast supporting Holt includes
Katherine DeMille, Rosalind Keith,
Luis Alberni, Esther Muir, Purnell
Pratt and Granville Bates. Lewis D.
Collins directed from a screen adap
tation by Joseph Hoffman and Jef
ferson Parker of Philip Wylie’s
original tale.
The story of “Under Suspicion’’
tells of a millionaire auto magnate,
played by Holt, who decides to re
tire and turn over his plant to his
employees. The move makes ene
mies of many of his friends, sever
al of whom he believes would like
to see him dead. To forestall any
assassination he invites all the
would-be culprits to his mountain
lodge, and through a series of clev
erly planned maneuvers, traps the
lurking killer.
2,300,000 CCC BOYS POTENTIAL
TROOPS
Miami, Fla.—Robert Fechner, na
tional Civilian Conservation Corps
director, said the United States has
2,300,000 youths trained in CCC
camps who are ready to act as a
volunteer army in an emergency.
“While CCC men are not mili
tarized in the ordinary sense of the
word,’’ Fechner said, “their training
is such that they are qbout 85 per
cent prepared for military life.
“The 2,300,000 boys now in camp
and the 2,000,000 who were trained
before them could be turned into
first-class fighting men at almost an
instant’s notice.”
CCC men, Fechner said, have
been taught discipline, how to live
in large groups harmoniously, to
care for themselves, and to maintain
rigid sanitation. “It is such train
ing,” he said, “that constitutes the
ground work for any armed force.”

RIVERS SIGNS BILL FOR MORE
PENSIONS
Governor Rivers late Tuesday
signed the Pruett bill extending
Confederate pension privileges to
widows who married veterans of the
War Between the States prior to
January 1, 1920. The previous law
had limited payments to those who
wed before January 1, 1881.
Pat Gillen, director of the Con
federate division, state pension de
partment, estimated that the act
would add approximately 1,200 wid
ows to the pension rolls and virtu
ally double the pension payments.
Each widow and veteran receives
S3O monthly.
About 2,600 widows will receive
pension checks in January, Gillen
said, raising the 1938 pay roll to ap
proximately $1,150,000.
December checks were sent to
232 ex-soldiers and 1,377. widows.
Under the old law, the annual pen
sion payments totaled $579,240, Gil
len said.
JANE WITHERS SENDS DOLL
TO CHILD WHO BROKE LEG
WHILE LAUGHING AT FILM
Hollywood.—For one broken leg,
one doll. Ruth Herman, of Albany,
N. Y., wrote Janes Withers she
laughed so hard after seeing one of
Jane’s pictures that she fell down a
theater stairway and broke a leg.
Ruth said she’d have to spend
Christmas in a hospital and was
pretty certain she wouldn’t get the
present she wanted, a doll.
So Jane sent Ruth a doll by air
mail Tuesday.
CHAPTER FIVE—FALSE FIRES
The initial scene of the fifth chapt
er of Universal’s “Secret Agent X
-9,” at the Roosevelt Theatre on
Tuesday and Wednesday, shows X-9
and Tommy Dawson escaping from
the shed a split second before the
explosion, taking with them the
painting which holds the secret to
the jewels’ hiding place. They ride
off and meet Shara. When X-9 un
wraps the picture he finds the can
vas slashed and the bank receipt
missing. X-9 follows Shara to the
Raymond estate, where the Baron
discovers from the receipt the loca
tion of the jewels. Blackstone rush
es in and covers X-9 with a gun.
His gang guards the G-man while
Blackstone and Michael escape.
Pidge breaks in and helps X-9 beat
up the gang. Pidge has learned the
bank receipt is hidden in the book
case. X-9 pulls out a book, which is
rigged to a pistol trigger. The gun
fires and X-9 falls to the floor.

Stockholders in a number of Geor
gia’s largest concerns will enjoy a
cash Christmas present of dividends
totaling $14,343,111. The figures
were announced Saturday in year
end statistics compiled by Courts

Heading the list was the Coca-Cola
Company with a payment of sll,-
.877,725, representing regular and
extra dividends on 3,991,000 shares
of stock and 600,000 shares of Coca-
Cola “A” stock. The Georgia Pow

amounting to $737,171 on two issues
of preferred stock.
The Atlanta City Council has

fireworks in the downtown area of

torpedoes and bursting firecrackers.
