1937 CROP ACREAGE EQUALED
IN GEORGIA

edly in 1938, as compared with last
year, but substantial increases of
titer major crops offset this reduc
tion.
Protracted dry weather in the
southeastern section of the state
hampered early development of
crops, but later rains avoided seri
ous damage.
Ifeanwhilc, North Georgia plant
ers suffered from excessive rains
during June.

FDR SELECTS NEW YORKER
FOR POSITION
President Roosevelt appointed El
mer Andrews, New York state in
dustrial commissioner to administer
the new wage-hour law.
Press Secretary Stephen Early
said that Andrews had “extensive
experience” with wages and hours in
his job as New York labor commis
sioner.
Andrews was assistant New York
labor commissioner while Mr. Roose
velt was governor of New York. He
was named commissioner by Gover
nor Lehman.
The appointment came as a sur
prise to many persons. Andrews
had been among those least-mention
ed for the job.
Editor Hugh Rowe of the Athens
Banner-Herald says: “Some are run
ning off to the mountains and some
to the seashore, but for us, we see
nothing in sight but remaining here,
grin and bear it. If we had our
way about the weather, we would
order it cold the year round. Plenty
of sunshine, but no heat—that is
heat as hot as it has been for the
past few days. Rising early morn
ings and building a fire in the fur
nace or fireplace is not nearly so
disagreeable as panting and ranting
during these days which some crazy
persons has termed, “the good old
summer time.” Can you imagine a
sane person glorifying the good old
summer time?”
THURSDAY. JULY 21. I3S.
“HOLIDAY,” BRILLIANT
COMEDY, IS HEPBURN
GRANT TRIUMPH
Columbia’s “Holiday,” with Kath
arine Hepburn as Linda Seton and
Cary Grant as Johnny Case, comes
to the Roosevelt Theatre for a two
days engagement on Thursday and
Friday.
“Holiday” is the story of modern
youth challenging an older gener
ation. The boy is perfectly willing
to work hard as his career has reach
ed the stage where he can retire.
And if he can’t retire while he’s still
young, he’d just as soon not have a
career. He wants to know what
makes the world tick.
The girl is a daughter of wealth
and position. Tired of the sham
and pretense of her life as a debu
tante, she is frantically searching
for something to absorb her.
Others in the cast of “Holiday,”
are Doris Nolan, Jean Dixon, Binnie
Barnes, Edward Everett Horton,
Lew Ayres and Henry Kolker.
The postoffice department has
designated the week of August 1
“Rural Mail Box Clean-Up Week.”
During this period, patrons of the
rural routes will be asked to re
paint their mail boxes and mail box
posts and to obtain new boxes when
necessary.
J. E. McElhannon of Talbotton
spent Saturday night and Sunday in
Jefferson.
