TO TOWNS ON THE ROUTE. Atlanta Constitution. Every town large or small, on the 950- mile right-of-way of the All-Around-Georgia Giod Roacs Automobile Tour, owes its peo ple the duty of representation by one or more entrants. Already the forty-two entries come from every section of Georgia, and stand for every class of citizenry. So that when the good roads cavalcade circles the state, beginning with October 17, Georgians from every walk of life will be keenly inspecting every town and city through the tour passes—-making an esti mate, as they go, of the enterprise of each indidual community. No town negotiated by the tourists will care to write itself as lacking in the initia tive essential to having one or more repre sentatives in the procession. Every community the 950-mile oval touches boasts many good roads enthusiasts and several automobiles. Logically, each one of these towns, whether in the large or small class, should be represented in the tour in a manner commensurate with its commercial importance and its receptivity to the importance of the cause of decent highways. This circumnavigation of Georgia is to be a publi :.ity caravan as well as an ocular demonstration in favor of good roads. The county that has excellent highways and presents all the aspects of prosperity will receive statewide advertisement. And the counties and towns that are represented on the tour by one or more en trants will likewise receive state-wide ad vertisement for alertness and community- spirit. It is with this idea in mind that the conditions and qualifications were made so reasonable as to encourage the smallest, as well as the largest, cars, and to make the i.inei-ary equally attractive for the amateur and the veteran. Many commercial bodies in the smaller towns have already seen their opportunity, and have officially entered one or more ma chines. There is no reason why every town sit uated on the right-of-way should not follow their example. And this is not to mention the individ ual citizens with cars, who will want to see to it that their communities figure in this co-operative movement for boosting Georgia. The entries close next Saturday. By that time, each one of the towns and cities to be visited by the ’Round-Geor- gia tourists should have sent in several en trants!

The morning congregation was so small at the beginning of the ser vice that the pastor did not feel en couraged to attempt the announced special sermon, on Woman. In stead, he preached on the violation of the Second and Third “Com mandments,'’ committed in “The Passion Play.”—and he did not “jump on the moving picture show” for the reason alleged by some kind friends. At the church conference, which followed the discourse, there were two accessions to the membership nnd the annual elections were held. The following named persons were chosen for the various offices de fined: Phil Pouik, clerk; A. C. Roddenbery, treasurer; Miss Bama Richter, church and Sunday school organist; W. B.
