or representatives attending from
the state highway departments
of Florida, Georgia, North and
South Carolina, who resubmitted
the project to AASHO at the re¬
quest of Flagalina officials and
leaders. Favorable action, it is
said, will depend upon the ex¬
tent of active support by the high¬
way officials of the four states.
Action will be by the ASSHO
executive committee, which al¬
ways follows recommendations of
the AASHO route numbering
committee, in whose hand the
project now rests.
Designation of a U. S. route
via Cairo and Calvary linking the
Florida coast city and some north
eastern terminus was adopted as
a major project of the local
Chamber of Commerce in the
spring of last year. Richmond,
Va. was first set as the north
eastern terminus but Virginia
failed to evidence active support
in the show-down last year^and
the project was disapproved.
Designation of the route would
eventually increase highway trav
el through Cairo considerably.
The only U. S. route now in the
county is the transcontinental U.

Havana, Calvary, Cairo Pelham,
Camilla, Albany, Americus, Mar

travel over the route would ulti¬
mately result in various benefits
to the highway and the points
along it, in addition to increased
travel.
Farm Bureau Week
Now Planned For
Sept. 13-18th.
MACON, GA.—“The Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation, in full
cooperation with the American
Farm Bureau Federation,” Gov.
Herman Talmadge said in his of
c i a 1 Proclamation designating
Sept. 13-19 as Statewide Farm
Bureau Week, “has contributed
much to the phenomenal prog
ress, prosperity and happiness of
the people of this state,” H. L.
Wingate, GFBF president said to
day in releasing contents of the
chief executive’s order,
The Board of Directors of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation
in session Aug. 24-25 in Macon,
made definite plans to carry the
message of Gov. Talmadge togeth
re with statements of endorse¬
ment from the state’s delegation
in congress and other leaders to
farm people with a view to se¬
curing the minimum goal of 90,
000 FB members during Farm Bu¬
reau week, Mr. Wingate stated.
T. L. Asbury, state soil conser¬
vationist, said in a letter com¬
mending Farm Bureau Week,
“The organization :s a great force
in Georgia. It helped bring our
state to the prominent place it
now holds among the states agri¬
culturally. It has given the Geor¬
gia farmers a voice in national and
state affairs, and as a result farm¬
ers are enjoying a prosperity and
standard of living never exper¬
ienced before.”
Dr. M. D, Collins, state school
superintendent, told Mr. Win¬
gate in a letter, “It is good news
to know that the directors and
officers of the Georgia Farm Bu¬
reau Federation have designated
the week of Sept. 13-19 as Farm
Bureau Week.
Walter S. Brown, state Exten¬
sion Service director, said: “As
farm problems become more nu¬
merous, more serious, and more
complex, the necessity for a
strong, agressive farm organiza¬
tion becomes more urgent.”
“Our Georgia Farm Bureau,”
stated Balene Bennett,(president
of the Georgia Electric Member¬
ship Corporation, “is recognized in
Washington as one of the out¬
standing farm organization of the
country and I would like to urge
every farmer, whether he is a
landlord or tenant, to join hands
with the present membership and
lets push for a 100 percent sign¬
up this year.”
Miss Lurine Colier, state home
demonstration agent, told Mr.
Wingate in a letter: “No matter
what the local problem is, through

■i/ou know how it usually is—slow and

progress.
But every now and then it happens.
Along comes a car that’s new all over —
like this one—and headlines sing the news.
Take the styling of it —fresh and smart
and really exciting from its non-locking
bumper-guard grilles to the jet-plane look
of its fenders.
Take the outward size of it —handy in
traffic, easy to garage, actually more room
and a sweeter ride in fewer over-all inches.
Step inside—and stretch yourself in the
biggest interiors ever found in a Buick
Special, with a full twelve inches added
to rear-seat hiproom.
