daily problems that you have to

rapidly growing section of Greater

destined to become one of the great

Dr. Long, after a distinguished
pastorate at Glenn Memorial Meth
odist Chtirch on the Emory campus,
returned for his second pastorate at
Peachtree Road, and has led his
people in planning and building
their fine church. Ills qpeople, too,
have been active; and that is not
just a figure of speech. They love
their church and, under pressure,
will recommend it to others.

CURRY’S CREEK
DRAINAGE BEGAN
MONDAY MORNING
Notwithstanding clouds and lain,
Monday morning work began on the
j drainage project of Curry’s Cheek.
It, is a cooperative undertaking be
tween the City of Jefferson, Jack
j son County, Oconee River Soil Con
servation District, and the United
States Government, a Corps of En
gineers with the last named doing
the construction work. The engineer
in charge is W. H. Shepherd.
Soil Conservation representative

general supervision. A large crew
of laborers with bulldozer and drag
line are engaged in the task of the
execution of the work on the pro
ject. The project is about one and
one-half miles long. Work began at
the lower end.

end of the project to the mouth of
the stream where it empties into the
