WPA Sewing Room Is
Doing a Splendid Job
The local WPA sewing room, and
its splendid work, have attracted con
siderable interest during the past
few weeks.
The room, in charge of Mrs. A. L.
Thompson, has one cutter and eight
seamstresses, each between 55 and 65.
All of the seamstresses are widow's
and the husband of the cutter is an
invalid. The workers are paid by the
WPA and most of the materials are
; supplied through the Surplus Com
modities Corporation, with the city
and county co-operating in the pro
j ject. The room is located on the second
floor of a* South Broad street build
! ing.
During the payroll period of 67
hours (four 8 -hour days and five 7
hour days) completed early this week,
the workers turned out 70 pairs of
men’s pants, 75 men’s shirts, 60 pairs
of men’s shorts, 60 ladies’ dresses and
60 ladies’ slips, in addition to several
boys’ suits and the required quilt, 24
sheets and 24 pillow cases.
Contrary to popular belief, all of
this clothing remains in Grady county
for distribution among the needy and
relief clients as directed by the Coun
ty Welfare Department. The lot of
clothing finished early this w'eek was
transferred to the relief commodity
Warehouse at the old County Farm,
north of the city, for distribution as
needed.

THE CAIRO MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 7TH, 193*.
Power Co. Announces
Pure-Bred Boar Plan
For Fifteen Counties
Larry F. George and E. J. Willis,
officials of the Gexgia Power and
Light Company, at Bainbridge, an
nounced locally on Wednesday that the
company proposes to assist in improv
the average breed of South Geor
porkers by initiating a purebred
^ chain in 15 counties in which this
«*rm. The plan provxdes
or oamn £ a g&ire to e mo?.
mentonous boy in eacn county to be
<-* ome property when he returns «*
boar pig of like quality to the County
Agent *<* distribution. The boy fur
'-her agrees to raise the boar according
to the rigid County specifically Agent. If, at laid anytime, down by he
fails to fulfill these conditions he loses
** *>tz. This plan is for increasing
the M« of P^bred breeders and has
^ea frequently used with highly sat
factory results in various sections of
South.
The lucky boy will be selected by
committees formed in each of 15 coun
ties by the various County Agents.
Selection of the boys will be made on
the basis of interest in hog raising,
energy, enthusiasm, co-operative spirit
and ambition. The power company in
vites its friends to submit names of
eligible boys for consideration by the
committee.
“This giving of breeding boars is an
important part of our current educa
tional advertising program and we
are seeking to bring to South Georgia’s
farming population the findings of ag
riculturists who have spent yeaTs in
vestigating ways and means of
i ng more and better hogs,” Messrs,
George and W’illis of the power com
pany continued. “Our city merchants
need the patronage of the farmer. Nat
urally, every concern which makes its
home as we do in South Georgia, is in
terested in stimulating ways to bring
about a larger farm income. More and
better quality hags are one way to
bring a larger income to the farmer
and more business for the merchant,
By providing a breeding boar in each
county, we propose to take a modest
part in co-operating in activities with
this objective. It’s in everyone’s inter
est to see hogging enterprises develop
in South Georgia so we ask everyone’s
co-operation in finding the right boy
to give the boar to. Your candidate
may not be chosen by the committee
this year, but remember there’ll be an
other pure-bred boar later on.”
The Gwgia Power 4 Light Com
pany has a three-fold interest in such
development First, because as a lo
cal industry anything which helps
South Georgia is important to the
future of its business, second, because
increased hog production means busi
ness for its curing plants, and third,
because increased farm income in this
area will result in general progress
and increased purchasing by the farm
population, including electric service.
Messrs. George and Willis spent
some time here Wednesday.

To The People Of Cairo *
Since we are about to
mence laying the sewerage
mains, under the contract recent
■ ly entered into with the City,
W T e thought it advisable to call
the attention of interested and
affected persons to the fact that
in laying these mains some in
convenience is bound to result to
the . property , while the
owners
work is in progress. It will no
doubt become necessary to block
the driveways and entrances to
residences and other buildings
for a limited time while the dlt
ches are being dug and the mains
laid. The work will also inter
fere to some extent with traf
flC generally. It Will likely prove
! impossible to do the ditching
without damaging or cutting one
or more water pipes, since it can
not always be determined just
exactly where these pipes are lo
cated. In the above and all Oth
er matters of inconvenience that
may arise, we earnestly request
the patience and co-operation of
all persons who may become af
fected and in return we promise
our fullest co-operation to
Very truly yours,
THE BRYANT COMPANY.
