needs better light?
ONE school child in five already has something
wrong with his eyes. Good lighting is especially im
portant to such children with defective vision . . . but it
is most important for all children, to make seeing easier
and to protect precious eyes.
And it's so easy to get nowadays. The I.E.S. lamps
scientifically designed to give correct light are low in
cost. There are dozens of wonderful new "adapters"
k that change your old lamps and fixtures into modern
sight-saving light sources.
Make up your mind right now to fix up your home
lighting and eliminate that eyestrain risk. Shop tomor
row for good light!

had last week-end "to Atlanta and
the Southeastern Worlds Fair. Mr.
Brigham arranged for a new bus
which belonged to Mr. Roscoe
Burke. Mr. Burke was our driver.
Also making the trip beside Mr. I
Brigham was Mr. Swanner, one of [
the 4-H Club boy’s father. The fol-!
lowing Club boys completed the par-,

We left Donalsonville at 3:00 A. M. 1
and planned to be in Atlanta for the
4-H Club parade at 10:15, but were
held up by a fog and detours so we
were a little late for this event. On ;
reaching the City we stopped at the
Oaks Tourist Camp where we were
to stay, and put off our luggage,
then we went on to the fair grounds
in Lakewood Park. The most inter
esting exhibit to us was in the live
stock building, and I can’t begin to tell
you about the different animals we
saw here. Anyway we boys agreed
that we would like to own some of
the champions ourselves. The Agri
cultural and Commercial exhibits
were very interesting as were the;
demonstrations of tractors and other
farm implements. Here at the fair
grounds we heard a radio broad
cast by station W. G. S. T.
In the afternoon there was a parade
by the Grandstand, which far sur
passed anything we bdys had ever
seen. There were nineteen bands from
various Georgia High Schools andj
Colleges, and numerous beautiful j
floats, The parade was followed by a j

I very interesting and inspiring address
Iby Senator Richard B. Russell, our
Junior Senator. At night there were
' free acts from the grandstand, and a
: brilliant display of fire works, two of
| the most outstanding things of the
j fireworks was the 4-H Club symbol
• and the United States flag. Os course
i there was plenty of hot dogs and soda
■ pop on the fair grounds, of which we
I ate and' drank our share. Everybody
■ was so tired at bed time that we did
; not give Mr. Brigham any trouble
about going to bed.
[ Sunday morning we had breakfast
-at Thompson’s Cafeteria near Five
i Points. We all stretched our necks to
j see the tall buildings. After breakfast
' we rode out to Stone Mountain, six
l teen miles north-east of Atlanta.
Stone Mountain is a solid block of
granite. It is over seven miles in cir
rcumference at the base and 1,000 feet
high. They are erving a Confederate
memorial on the side of it and the
figures of Davis, Lee, and Jackson are
nearly finished. The figures are so
large tht thirty men once sat at a
table and had dinner on Robert E.
Lee’s shoulder. It will be several years
before the project is finished and
there will be nothing else like it in all
the world.
Back in town we walked around the
Capitol building, but couldn’t go in as
i it was closed Sunday.
Next was Grant Park where we saw
every animal we had ever heard of
and more. Here too we saw the
Cyclorama building which houses the
wonderful painting of the Battle of
Atlanta. Then back to Camp for our
luggage and good-bye to Atlanta. It
was one happy bunch of boys that
went to bed in Seminole County that
night. 4
