Yard Light
Installation of a good yard light
at the* time farm out-buildings are
being wired for electricity increases
both safety and comfort of a farm
home.
Cost of installation and the elec
tricity used is small, in comparison
with the benefits received.
Yard lighting makes the farm
home safer in several ways. It re
duces the possibility of injury from
tripping over unseen objects in the
dark. It also discourages thieves
and prowlers who rely on darkness
for concealment. To visiting friends
and neighbors, yard lighting makes
the farm appear more hospitable and
attractive.
Sometimes more than one light
may be necessary. Whether it is
mounted on a pole or placed on the
side of a building, it should be at
least 15 feet above the ground to
secure adequate spread of the light.
A reflector is necessary to proper
ly utilize and distribute the light.
For this purpose, sallow dome re
flectors are recommended, the size
reflector and bulb being determined
by the area to be illuminated. A
300 watt bulb in a 16-inch reflector
will provide sufficient light within
an area of 200 feet radius. It is
necessary that both the reflector
and the holder be of the weather
proof type.
The light can be controlled by a
switch at the house, or by three-way
switches located at the house and
barn so that the light may be turned
on or off from either place. A four
way switch may be used to control
the light from a third point, such as
the garage.

Seam* Are Important
Georgia farm women who are
planning to shop for ready-made
winter clothes would do well to keep
a sharp eye on the seams.
The seams are important in ready
made clothes. Generous width and
firm finish also are qualities to be
desired in any garment seam. Many
women have found it worthwhile to
look at the wrong side of ready
mades, when shopping, to see what
the seams are like.
Armhole seams, sleeve seams,
waist and hip-line seams get much of
the strain of wear.. A skimped seam
naturally will pull out when under
any strain. A generous seam holds,
and it also allows for letting out at
places that may be too tight or may
need remodeling.
Another quality of a good seam is
a well-finished edge that will not
fray. If the material is firm and
closely woven, it needs only one
plain seam with overcasting or
pinking at the edges. But if the ma
terial is a sheer silk, or other fabric
that slips or frays easily, the seam
needs a firmer finish.
Sometimes a seam that looks
nicely finished is actually skimpy.
Many bargain dresses have seams
that are stitched and bound all at
once. These save an extra line of
stiching and look nice enough at
first glance but often have too little
material in the fold to stand hard
wear or cleaning.
Other points to watch are thread
that is too coarse and loose, sittches
too far apart, broken places in the
stitching, loose ends of threads, and
wavering in the width of scam.

DR. GLISSON IS "GOOD FATHER”
TO METHODIST HOME
CHILDREN
(From Atlanta Journal)
The old lady in the shoe had so
many children she didn't know what
to do, but not Dr. Fred L. Glisaon,
superintendent of the Children’s
Home in Decatur, the pride of the
North Georgia Methodist Confer
ence.
There are 139 bright-eyed
youngsters in his ‘‘family’’ at the
home—the largest number on record
—who will testify that their amiable
superintendent is not only success
ful “boss," but also u “good father.”
Dr. Glisson’s record speaks for
itself.
With th< aid. of Mrs. Glisson, his
“right-hand man," for the last two
years, and other members of his
•,taff, the energetic minister seems
to have accomplished the “impossi
ble."
A minimum of SIOO per day or
a total of $36,500 per year is re
quired to operate the home, but Dr.
Glisson, with a little straining here
and there, has operated successfully
this year under a $30,000 budget.
This includes redecoration and
painting of each cottage; construc
tion of a three-story annex; ren
ovation of the girls’ high school cot
tage and partial erection of anew
dairy barn and anew garage.
Dr. and Mrs. Glisson don’t mind
the work, either, as long as they can
help “build, not only fine young
bodies, but strong bodies and beau
tiful souls” amongst his once im
poverished young flock.
The boys and girls—from 2 to 16
years of age—depend entirely on
generous Methodists to provide them
with this home and the other neces
sities of life. Funds are provided
annually through gifts on what is
called “Work Day,” observed each
year in all churches of the confer
ence, and from similar sources.
There are no appropriations.
Trustees of .the home are Rev. R.
C. Cleckler, Bolton, chairman; Mrs.
Alva G. Maxwell, Atlanta, secretary;
Mrs. J. O. Morris, Mrs. L. D. Year
gan, Dr. H. C. Emory, Carrollton;
Rev. Frank Quillian, Augusta; Bax
ter Maddox, Atlanta; B. F. Vinson,
C. H. Blount and Dr. W. B. Smith.
Vital Verities
(From Georgia’s Health)
Each day in Georgia sees an aver
age of 185 babies born, one mother
dies during childbirth and 11 babies
who die before they reach their first
year of life.
tt t t
Georgia in 1936 had the highest
number of deaths from storms and
cyclones in the United States, and
the second highest number of deaths
from lightning.
tt t t
In the United States there is a
death every 40 minutes from homi
cide. In Georgia, there is an aver
age of two each day.
tt t t
A total of 15,000 men, women,
and children are killed by motor ve
hicles each year in the United States
because of alcohol. Deaths from
alcoholism in Georgia have increased
47 percent in the past 5 years.
REV. A. LEE HALE DIES
The Rev. A. Lee Hale, aged 36,
pastor of Peachtree Road Methodist
Church, Atlanta, passed away Thurs

University. He sexved the Com
merce Methodist Church in 1933 and
34, and since then has been pastor
at Peachtree Road, and at the recent
session of conference was reappoint
ed to this church for his fifth year.

Luck And Mrs. Sherlock

*CUCH a day In town," aaid Car
ol, dropping exhaustedly into
her chair.
“Spill the atory, wife o’ mine,”
counseled Vincent.
CUADT “Tommy Prescott
•w ■■ wft I W ent in town with
£ m qr me because his
9IIUKI mother had head
______ ache. In the five and
STO K I ten, another child
asked him to come
downstairs and see the big tank of
goldfish. The crowd had swallowed
them in an instant. I succeeded in
catching the children but lo3t my
pocketbook. So distracted I couldn’t
think what to do, I was telling the
toy-counter girl that I hadn’t even
carfare, and knew no one in town,
when a little lady beside me said:
‘I have 20 cents. You shall have
half for I need only 10.’
“Think of that, Vin, from a
stranger. She was the dearest thing,
and I loved her, but 1 forgot to ask
her name and address. Later, when
I received my pocketbook at the
lost and found desk, the little lady
had disappeared. Do you suppose
a notice in the personal column
would find her? I’d like to thank
her properly. You know Rosalie,
the maid, walked out on me.”
“You need companionship as well
as help,” said Vin. “I was hoping
Aunt Nan would come this winter.
But mother writes that Aunt Nan
overheard Jack’s wife and Dick's
wife arguing who could better have
her for the win4£r. She disappeared,
leaving word that she could take
care of herself. The boys are crazy
and their wives are repentant, but
they can’t find her. Here’s the let
ter, and one from Jack, too, asking
me to follow some clues here.”
“Too bad,” said Carol sorrowful
ly. “So many hurt feelings!”
“Silly girls!” said Vin fervently.
“Aunt Nan is the salt of the earth,
but they think she’s old-fashioned.
Of all the feather-headed females—”
“Vin,” said Carol suddenly. “A
pound of my best pinoche against
a box of chocolates that I find Aunt
Nan first.”
“Got a hunch, Mrs. Sherlock?”
asked Vin shrewdly. “It’s a trade.”
Carol had a hunch indeed. The
little lady in the ten-cent store had
had two tiny curls, one on each
side, just above the collar of her
gray coat—such curls as Vin had
often told her Aunt Nan wore.
Scanning the columns of “Situa
tions Wanted” for someone to re
place the recreant Rosalie, she read
with interest and subsequent enthu
siasm the following bit:
“Old-fashioned country pies, cook
ies and doughnuts made in your
own kitchen. Will cook and serve
a wholesome meal. Hour or day.
W. D. East, 7 Wayland street. Tel
ephone 3296-W.”
“The great Mrs. Sherlock has a
second hunch,” Carol declared
aloud to the quiet room.
The very help she needed, too, for
Mrs. Vaughn, that dear, great lady,
who had room in her heart for the
little country girl, wife of her hus
band’s confidential man, was com
ing to dinner. A telephone call to
W. D. East resulted in an arrange
ment for Wednesday night dinner.
Opening the door to her new help
er, on Wednesday, she uttered a
cry of pleasure. It was the friend
ly little lady of the 10-cent store.
Carol was sure it was also Aunt Nan.
Mrs. Vaughn’s ring came before
Vincent’s. He was close behind her,
to Carol’s surprise, ushering in as
guests his Cousin Jack and wife,
Nell, come to the city on business.
Carol could guess what the busi
ness might be.
With an eye on Vin, she drew
back the curtain separating dining
room from living-room, revealing
Mrs. East busy about the table. Vin,
glancing that way, uttered an
astonished exclamation:
“Aunt Nan! Carol, where did you
find her?”
Mrs. East turned quickly. Nell
stood silent, Jack gasped, “Moth
er!” and Mrs. Vaughn unconscious
ly saved the situation by crossing
the room to take Aunt Nan by
both shoulders.
“Nancy Raymond, I should know
those curls anywhere, in spite of
the years. Remember the April
Fool pie with the sawdust filling,
when John Payne and Jerry Vaughn
came to supper?”
Amid much talk and laughter they
gathered at the table.
“I was adventuring in the great
city,” explained Aunt Nan. “I have
supported myself very comfortably
as W. D. East—which means Way
Down East.”
“Jack and I came to find you,
mother,” said Nell. “Our house is
always home and your room is wait
ing.”
“Aunt Nan is going to spend the
winter with us,” interposed Vin.
“We want her—and need her.”
“Surely, if I’m needed,” agreed
Aunt Nan.
Vin was gone when Carol awoke
the next morning. On the dining
table was a generous box of choco
lates with the inscription:
“Though I still believe it was mostly
luck,
I own, Mrs. Sherlock, that I am
stuck!
There is nothing too good for my
wonderful wife—
What is thirty-nine cents in my
young life?"

A MAN AND HIS JOB
(From Grit)
If you want to get an idea of a
man’s future, note the interest and
pride he takes in his work. The job
may be humble, and the man may
not evince much pride in that par
ticular occupation, but if he’s doing
the job just about as well as it can
be done you can count the man
above the average, destined in all
probability to get the chance to
make something more of himself.
Interest and pride in work are es
sential to success, and to content
ment too. The man who has little
intex-est in his job, who dawdles
along “killing time” until the whistle
releases him, is not going anywhere.
Why? In the first place he won’t
get the opportunity. And in the
second place he wouldn’t be able to
gi'asp it if it did come his way.
It makes no difference whether
the job is digging with a pick and
shovel or counting money in a bank.
A man’s attitude toward the job is
what counts. And it counts mostly
for himself. The fact that so many
men seem to hav£ lost interest in
their work—and government hand
outs may be held accountable for
much of this—is going to make it
more difficult to return prosperity
and contentment to this nation. In
terest and pride in work must first
be restored before relief lines can
be disbanded.
This great nation of ours was
built on industry, thrift, and pride
in accomplishment. If we fail to
grow greater it will be because of
lack of these things. How much in
terest and pride do you take in
your job?
