Advice To Swimmer*
“The victim was a good swim
■mr.” Time and again this state
ment figure* in accounts of drown
ing. Obviously it i the good swim
mers who get careless and take
vhances.
Atlanta’s Red C os Chapter of
fers some sound pdvice in its water
safety program. It points out that
even good swimmers risk their lives
if they fail to wait at least an hour
after eating to enter the water.
Many an excellent swimmer has
doubled up with cramps and gone
wader because he or she was Im
patient and could not wait to take a
dip Another reason why good
swimmers drown is poor health.
One must feel fit to go swimming;
the heart is called upon for extra
•xrrtion in the water, and if the
swimmer has been ill and is not in
good physical condition, the strain
upon the heart may prove too much.
Still another cause of drowning is
the urge to show off. The sudden
plunge into cold water, particularly
after prolonged exposure to the sun,
as dangerous, yet how many acprn to
•liter the water gradually, .insisting
•pon diving headlong into the deco
end?—Atlanta Journal.
King and Queen Go Home
1 King George und Queen Elizabeth
sailed for England Thursday night,
bringing to an end the epochcd tour
•f the first British soverign to visit
America.
En route back to England, the
King and Queen probably have a
new conception of hospitality in the
United States.
The British rulers, who in three
weeks in Canada and four in this
country, were seen by probably f>,-
•00,00(1 persons, came down to the
end of their journey still smiling.
During the past week-end, they
wppeured to enjoy the informal visit
with President and Mrs. Roosevelt at
JHyde Park more than at any other
tinn during their tour of 7,000
miles.
Lunching on picnic plates, they
sampled the American hot dog;
drai.k beer; rode in an old automo
bile, with the president driving,
throught the beautiful Hudson Val
k>. and attended a country church.
The preacher—a bishop—went
Home to a meal with them, and in
the afternoon the king and president
went swimming together in the new
pool on the Roosevelt estate. The
wives and “Ma,” —Mrs. Roosevelt’s
affectionate name for the president’s
another—just visited.
The royal couple's experiences
.from the time they left Canada were
as unusual for them as was their
presence for a democratic people
with storybook ideas of kings and
queens.
fn Washington, New York and
Hyde Park they saw new sights and
partook of new customs.
J. C. Seymour, field manager of
the Georgia Press Association, in an
address to the Covington Rotary
Club, discussed “Advertising” and
low it affected the merchants and
the city in which they reside. He
stated that each business man in a
•fty is dependent on every other
business man, and that all ought to
put forth every effort to give the
itize.ns every consideration. He
argvd merchants to insist on na
tional concerns to spend their ad
vertising money where the item was
purchased. Advertising in mnga
aincs and over radio was not a help
to small town merchants, and na
tional concerns should be made to
realize this.
A Georgia visitor to the World
Fair tells of the misfortune of a
lady who stood in front of him for
more than an hour, very anxious to
aee the King and Queen, and just as
their majesties appeared in sight
the lady fainted and was thus de
aieil gratification of her great de
al re.
Although it is far from being
funny to the farmer*—all this de
luge of rain—one farmer in Terrell
county is possessed with a sense of
kumor, and it is reported that he
la*, erected e sign near one of his
•otton fieds, the sign reading some
tiling like this: “Don’t step on the
gran—my cotton is under it.”
Cotton Bagging For Cotton
In a number of counties of Geor
gia, the ginners are preparing to
wrap their cotton in cotton bagging
this season.
It is a patriotic gesture, and one,
if rarried out by all ginners, would
help reduce the surplus of cotton
now on hand.
Last year, several ginners in
Terrell county adopted cotton wrap
ping for cotton in preference to
jute, and this season they may use
cotton bagging entirely. Letters
have been written to cotton manu
facturers asking if they will make
allowances for. the 7Vi pounds light
er bale due to the cotton bagging.
It is understood that in some sec
tions, the manufacturers have agreed
to do this.
In event a favorable answer is re
ceived, effort will be made to get all
ginners in the county to use the ma
teria). Last year, a number of gins
used cotton bagging, but it was only
available to one-variety cotton gin
ners.
Cotton bagging, it was explained,
may be purchased from the official
government contractor, the Lane
Cotton Mills, New Orleans, La., for
45 cents per pattern, f. o. b., New
Orleans.
The manufaeturerer of the cotton
bagging receives from the govern
ment an indemnity payment of 28
cents per pattern. This payment
enables the manufacturer to sell the
bagging at 45 cents per pattern.
(Enough for one bale).
Gift To North Georgia
College
Dahlonega, Ga.—Because a young
Dahloncga girl, 45 years ago, could
not enter North Georgia College
“without a matriculation ticket,”
none will be needed for a long time
to come by Lumpkin County High
■school graduates.
John H. Moore, said to be Lump
kin county’s largest taxpayer, ten
lered to the state board of regents
a two-and-a-half-story hotel building
which North Georgia College has
rented a number of years past as
* dormitory.
In turning the property over to
the regents, Mr. Moore stipulated,
*t is reported, that students from
Lumpkin County High school shall
be admitted to the college without
matriculation fees, which shall be
charged against the value of the
building until the sum has been
wiped out.
Returning from work one night
;5 years ago, IVtr. Moore said he
found his youngest sister in tears,
and that she told him the college had
notified her not to return until she
brought her “matriculation ticket.” ,
Already financially hard pressed
after paying a $5 matriculation fee
for an orphan, Mr. Moore succeeded
in “buying another ticket” from the
college secretary on credit.
Today he made it unnecessary for
others to “buy tickets” to go to
their home-town college.
MERIT SYSTEM FOR GAME
WARDENS
Georgia game wardens will be se
lected under a merit system similar
to one used for the state highway
patrol, according to announcement
made by Charles N. Elliott, shortly
after he was sworn in Monday as
acting director of the division of
wild life.
He said 200 men would be picked
from applications and brought to At
lanta for study in w-ild life propaga
tion and protection. Out of these
from 60 to 75 would be selected by
a competitive examination for ap
pointment as wardens.
GARNER REMAINS 1940 CHOICE,
BUT LOSES 3 PER CENT
New York.—Vice President John
N. Garner’s popularity with Demo
cratic voters a.s a possible candidate
for 1940 has levelled off slightly in
recent weeks, while James A. Far
ley’s popularity has increased sharp
ly, according to the results of anew
nation-wide survey of Democratic
voters by the American Institute of
Public Opinion. The poll showed
Garner is favored by 47 per cent of
the voters against 16 per cent for
Farley, Garner previously had poll
ed 50 per cent.
Rev. Nat G. Long, pastor at Glenn
Memorial Church, Atlanta, will be
the platform speaker for the Young
People’|s Assembly for the Western

THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Colonel Horton, Educator,
Die*
Atlanta, Ga.—Colonel O. R. Hor
ton, superintendent and command
ant of the Riverside Military Aca
demy, Gainesville, since 1920 and
one of the best known figures in
southern educational circles, was
found dead here late Thursday af
ternoon in his room in a downtown
hotel, apparently the victim of a
heart attack.
Friends said that Colonel Horton,
in Atlanta on a business trip, had
been complaining of a pain in his
chest earlier in the day and decided
to go to bed.
His body was discovered by a bell
boy who went to the room to deltver
some laundry. Its position indicat
ed that he collapsed while putting
on the top to his pajamas and fell
across the bed.
Colonel Horton had one of the
most brilliant World War records in
the American army. Resigning his
commission in the reserve corps as
soon as this country was involved,
he enlisted as a private in the in
fantry and won his way up from
the ranks to the rank of major.
During the period of his connec
tion with Riverside, he traveled
throughout the eastern half of the
country as a “good will ambassador”
of the school. His associates de
scribed him as “one of the most
universally admired and beloved
teachers Riverside ever had and the
idol of all the students.”
He is survived by a brother, Dr.
C. M. Horton, of Franklin, La.
UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
HONORED
Athens, Ga.—Eight University
professors were paid high tribute at
the Alumni Day exercises.
Brigadier General Robert J. Trav
is, representing the University of
Georgia Club of Savannah, present
ed medals to the eight faculty mem
bers who have served at the Uni
versity for more than 40 years.
They are C. M. Strahan, W. H. Bo

CCC QUOTA FOR JULY RAISED
TO 1,048
Atlanta. Civilian Conservation
Corps camps will enroll 1,048 Geor
gians during July instead of 655 as
wa* previously announced, Army
officials said Friday. The totals in
clude 862 junior whites, 132 junior
colored, 42 white veterans and 12
negro veterans.
The State Welfare Department,
which is charged with the duty of
certifying applicants, has already in
formed each county in the state of
its quota.
There’s one men’s lunch club in
Atlanta at which the stock market
is never mentioned. Instead, the
talk is all of dahlias, roses, lilies,
azaleas,, marigolds, zinnias and oth
er flowers. This is the Men’s Gar
den Club of Atlanta, which already
has 78 members and is growing al
most as fast as the gardens of those
already enrolled. The club is as
democratic as the Democratic party,
for members are invited to join not
because of positions or worldly
goods or even because they may hap
pen to live next door, but because of
a common interest in gardening.
Some of these days there will be
centrally located markets to take
care of whatever the farmer may
produce. When this is brought
about, there will be an exodus back
to the farms, and farming will take
on new proportions such as never
been witnessed in the country.
Given adequate marketings facilities,
farmers will be more inclined to
raise an acre or two of beans, to
matoes, okra and sundry other
things that are always in demand. —
Dawson News.
At the annual meeting of the
Ten-Year Club of Vocational Agri
culture Education workers, which
was held at Jackson Lake a few days
ago, twelve additional teachers were
elected to membership in the or
ganization and were presented ser
vice keys. Two of the twelve are
Professor Joe DeFoor of Fayette
ville, and Professor Hugh A. Inglis
of Clarkesville.
The University’s 37th annual sum
mer session was officially opened
Wednesday as students began at
tending summer classes on the
campus. At the <;lose of the first
day’s registration 884 students had
enrolled. The first term of the
summer session will continue until
July 21.

Home Made Quick Bread*
Some kind of bread should be
served at every meal to those who
need plenty of energy food. If the
family gets barely as many fruits
and vegetables as it—needs, at least
half this bread muy well be made
from whole grain flour or meal.
Whole grain cereals, in addition to
supplying material for energy, help
to reinforce the diet in some of the
vitamins and minerals, notably vita
min B and iron.
Made to order for summer baking
at home are the quick breads, which
can be stirred up in a hurry, baked
quickly. The summer home bakers
are finding that wheat flour and
corn meal are usually abundant
and low in price.
When sour milk is substituted for
sweet, there must be a change in the
leavening agent. Each cup of sour
milk needs V 4 teaspoon soda to neu
tralize the acid in it; Mi teaspoon
soda equals in levavning power 2
teaspoons of baking powder, and
takes the place of that much of the
baking powder in the original re
ceipe. Add the soda with the rest
of the dry ingredients. If mixed
with the sour milk ahead of time,
much of its leavening power goes
off into thin air.
Quickest make of all the quick
breads are muffins. Secret of their
success lies mostly in the mixing,
and the knowing when to stop.
Therefore, stir muffins enough to
moisten the ingredients and leave
the mixture with rough appearance.
Do not mix for smoothness.
Muffins also lend themselves to
tasteful variations. To a receipe
calling for 1 cup liquid, add Ms cup
chopped dried fruit with the dry
ingredients. Or add 14 cup chop
ped nuts in the same way. Or re
place the regular fat in the recipe
with 1-3 cup peanut butter, or
cup grated cheese.
j To make good biscuits, stir the in
gredients until well mixed, no more.
This mixture should be fairly moist
at the beginning, because it will
stiffen with stirring or kneading.
Drop from a spoon onto a baking
sheet, for crusty, flaky biscuits. Or
pat the dough out about % inch
thick, and cut with a biscuit cutter.
For biscuits that rise more, knead
the dough a little before rolling it
out. One of the best of the biscuit
variations is made by adding 16 cup
grated orange rind to the sifted dry
ingredients. One-half cuj> chopped
nuts may be added to the same way,
for a receipe that makes about 25
medium-sized biscuits. 4
Hot dish for the cool of the morn
ing may be waffles or griddle cakes.
Stir these enough to make the bat
ter smooth. Do not beat them to
over-develop the gluten in the flour
and make the cakes or waffles
tough.
Of all the dishes made from corn
meal, one of the favorites since the
Indians started it has been corn
pone. This simple, all-American
dish recently was served to the King
and Queen of England, at the state
dinner given for them at the White
House.
Following is one good receipe for
corn pone: 2 cups corn meal, 1 tea
spoon salt, 2 tablespoons melted fat,
I*4 cups milk, 2 teaspoons baking
powder.
Mix the meal, baking powder and
salt. Add the fat and warm liquid
and mix well. Shape into small
cakes or pones. Place on v/ell
greased pans and bake in a hot oven
for about 30 minutes.

MISS LESLIE ROBINSON SPEAKS
CONCERNING WELFARE
PROBLEMS
On June 16th, Miss Leslie Robin
son, a representative from the State
Department of Public Welfare,
made quite an interesting, as well as
informative, talk on matters per
taining to the Welfare Department
of State and County. Mr. Braswell
Deen, Director of the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare, who had
expected to be in Jefferson on this
date, was unavoidably detained in
Atlanta, and Miss Robinson, who is
District Supervisor in this District,
came in his place.
Miss Robinson was introduced by
Dr. L. C. Allen, Chairman of the
Jackson County Welfare Board, and
in his introductory remarks he
brought out many interesting points
regarding eligibility for a pension,
and told something of the problems
the Welfare Board is facing now,
since the legislature failed to pass
revenue measures providing funds
for payment of pensions.
Miss Robinson, who is well in
formed on the law regarding pen
sions in Georgia, gave reasons why
so many pensioners in Jackson Coun
ty had to be suspended, rather than
reducing all pensions on pro rata
basis. In order to meet Federal re
quirements, recipients must receive
75# of budget deficit, and due to
the drastic reduction in the allot
ment made to the counties, it was
necessary she said to drop many
needy persons from pension list.
It is the hope of the Board that
the allotment for Jackson County
may be restored and all suspended
recipients may be reinstated.
Mr. Deen may be in the county
on a date to be announced later.
DEATH CLAIMS M. C. GUEST
M. C. Guest, aged 80, died June
12 at the home of his son, B. A.
Guest, near Abbeville, Wilcox coun
ty.
For several years Mr. Guest made
his home in Jackson county and had
a number of friends here. He was
a member of the Methodist church
and funeral services were held at
Liberty Hill Methodist church in
Wilcox county Wednesday morning.
His body was interred in the ceme
tery at Concord Church, Sumter
county.
Surviving are six sons and daugh
ters, B. A. Guest, Abbeville; W. M.
Guest, Americus; Mrs. L. R. Laven
der, Atlanta; Mrs. J. S. Fleeman,
Rochelle; Mrs. J. R. Howell, Ameri
cus; Mrs. W\ W. Barnett, Colbert.
