“MAGIC” BUTTER ROLLS
Speaking of “busy-day” meals,
here’s a recipe that will make one

1 tablespoon sugar.
3 eggs.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
1-2 cup sugar.
1 cup nuts (cut fine).

DOOM IS SOUGHT FOR COTTON
BASKET
Carrollton, Ga.—Demise of the
old-fashioned cotton basket at pick
ing time was asked here by E. C.
Westbrook, Extension Department
agronomist, and associated ginning
interests, who said that fleece must
go to the gin dry if the staple is
to command uniformly profitable
prices.
“It is time,” Westbrook told Car
roll farmers, “to do away with the
old cotton basket, and spread the
cotton on large cloths to let it dry
as fast as it is picked from the
fields.”
GENERAL SHEEP APPOINTED
TO LAWSON POST
Brigadier General William D.
Sheep, co-head of the Fort MePher- i
son hospital has been named com
mander of the new Lawson general
hospital, rapidly nearing completion
at Camp Gordon.
A veteran of 30 years in the medi
cal corps of the Army, the general
is a native of Elizabeth City, N. C.
The hospital of which he now be
comes head will, when completed, be
the largest in the entire south. Its
100 buildings will house 2,000 beds
and cover 140 acres of land. The
staff will include 140 medical officers,
more than 200 graduate nurses, and
several hundred civilian employes.
Almost the first official act of the
General was to assure the press that
the hospital is not necessarily for
American soldiers wounded in war
fare.
“Experience tells us that for
every thousand soldiers in uniform,
there will be so many sick ones,” he
explained.
“Two thousand beds looks like a
lot, but there will be many thou
sands of men in training camps.”
The Lawson hospital won’t handle
minor cases, he explained, as those
will be taken care of in the station j
hospital, at the various camps.
“But those cases demanding treat
ment by specialists, or those promis
ing extended confinement, will be
brought to Lawson hospital—either
by train, ambulance, or airplane.
I They’ll get the best treatment it’s
' possible to find.”

Are There Any Unemployed
Teacher* in Jackson
County?
The Teacher Placement Service, a
unit of the Georgia State Employ
ment Service, today announced that
a demand exists for young teachers
with degrees and that several jobs
are open, especially for teachers of
mathematics. The services and fa
cilities of the unit are entirely free.
Application forms for these jobs,
officials said, may be obtained from
the Georgia State Employment Ser
vice office, Athens, or by writing L.
C. Butcher, supervisor of the Teach
er Placement Service, 191 Mariettta
Street, N. W., Atlanta.
Recently established by the Em
ployment Service division of the
State Department of Labor, the
Teacher Placement Service endeav
ors to place qualified teachers in
(touch with openings suitable for
their training, experience and edu
cation and to provide employing
school officials with an opportunity
to select teachers upon the basis of
their individual merits.
A teacher does not have to be un
employed in order to register with
the Service for a job. Any teacher,
employed or unemployed, experienc
ed or inexperienced, who is eligible
for a valid certificate and resides in
Georgia, may use the free employ
ment facilities of the division.
Pointing out that the Employment
Service is in no sense a relief agen
cy, officials said that qualifications of
teachers are carefully verified and
that referrals are made wholly on
a basis of qualifications and suita
bility to specifications of a job
opening order without regard to
need.
Girl in Third Month of
Strange Coma
Philadelphia.—The almost imper
ceptible fluttering of an eyelid was
all that marked Miss Ruth Steven
son’s battle for life Wednesday as
the 22-year-old victim of an auto
mobile accident entered the third
month of her strange coma.
Temple University physicians be
lieve the 63-day coma resulting from
an injury constitutes a record. One
physician said the longest previous 1
period of coma from an injury was
28 days.
The attractive young brunette has
lain unconscious at the hospital since
last Christmas Eve. A machine in
which she was riding crashed into a
pole, killing the driver and injuring
her so critically that physicians
feared she would die within a few
hours.
Surgeons, who have operated on
her brain twice when her condition
became serious, explained her deep
unconsciousness is not to be com
pared to sleeping sickness. In the
latter case, patients have been known
to remain unconscious for much
longer periods.
Miss Stevensons’ insensibility is
so deep, they said, that no anesthetic
was necessary for the last operation.
The skull was opened on the left
side and a quantity of fluid was
(' -ained off. No blood clot was
found.
Day by day, the hospital reports
her condition as “unchanged.”
WILLIS THORNTON
SAYS
MEANWHILE, DEMOCRACY
FUNCTIONS
Some people have their eyes so
firmly fixed on some doom they see
far on ahead waiting for democracy,
that they overook the fact it’s func
tioning right here and now.
When the draft act was passed
last year, it was thoroughly debated
for months. Every argument for it
and against it was given full play
time and again. Then, after the
most complete kind of discussion,
public and private, official and un
official, the duly elected representa
tives of the people passed it by a
broad margin.
If the passage of that act, revolu
tionary departure as it was from
traditional American principles, did
not represent the will of the Ameri
can people, in what possible way
could that will have been better ex
pressed?
Similarly, the Lend-Lease bill.
Since the draft act of last year,
there has been a congressional elec
tion. A good share of the senators
and representatives now on the floor
have been to their constituences for
acceptance or rejected. New mem
bers were elected by people who had
one eye on European developments
and the ways in which they might af
fect the United States. Now comes
the Lend-Lease Bill.
No one can say both sides of this
proposed legislation have not had
every conceivable opportunity to pre
sent their cases. A continual parade
of witnesses, for and against, quali
fied and unqualified, expert and in
expert. statistical and emotional, has
passed through the committee r:oms
of both House and Senate. Debate
on the floors of both chambers has
been exhaustive. Every conceivable
scrap of information, every imagin
able point of view, have been spread
before the legislators and the coun
try.
The President, apparently feeling
the criticism that followed last year’s
destroyer transfer, for which he did
not go to Congress for authority, ap
pears to have made an especial point
of keeping out of this pending legis
lation. Amendments have been pro
posed, argued, and some have been
accepted. The people, through let
ters to Congress and the newspapers,
have had their direct say, aside from
the official debate.
Soon the Lend-Lease Bill will
pass, or it will not pass. Whichever
is the result, it is hard indeed to see
how democratic process could have
had more defferenee, how any possi
ble means has been overlooked to
make certain that the decision is de
liberate decision of the majority of
the American people.
So, while we moan gently to our
selves about the fate of democracy

HELPING NATIONAL
DEFENSE AND THRIFT
The treasury department of the
federal government soon will com
mence a campaign for the sale of
stamps and bonds for financing the
defense program which amount* to
approximately $9,000,000,000. This
series of stamps and bonds will be
similar to those sold during the
World War and those that are now
on rale at the various postoffices in
tha United States.
The denominations will be of
various prices in order that children,
who have saved their nickles, dimes
and pennies can invest them in these
stamps and bonds. These stamps
will also be available for housewives,
domestic servants of all classifica
tions as well as the clerk and other
workers earning moderate incomes.
The amount received from this
source will be allocated to a fund
for the retirement of the debt accu
mulated for the defense program.
In this way it is believed that the
total amount for the defense pro
gram can be raised without working
a hardship on anyone and at the
same time create in the minds of
the children, especially, a desire to
save and become thrifty.
The following type savings will be
offered:
Postal savings stamps in denomi
nations of 10, 25 and 50 cents and
sl. These will be a “national de
fense” series of the regular postal
stamps now on sale throughout the
country at ail post offices.
Either postal or treasury “savings
certificates” in denominations of $*
and up.
United States saving bonds, com
monly known as “baby” bonds, in
denominations of from $25 to sl,-
000. These bonds are sold at a 25
per cent discount (for examaple, a
$25 bond sells for $18.75), but are
redeemed by the treasury after 10
years for their full face amount.
These are sold at posit offices.
Anew type interest-bearing bond,
possibly maturing in 40 years and
bearing 2 per cent, or a little more
interest. The exact terms of this is
