M ENTERPRISE THAT
VERITSTOUH SUPPORT
Notwithstanding the amount of
shipping that is now lying idle in
the harbors and at the docks of
the United States, ocean travelers
are still obliged to pay high rates
for trans Atlantic travel, and an
unparalleled opportunity to build
up the American Merchant Marine
is being lost. Recognizing this
fact, and realizing that the time
was opportune for an undertaking
of this nature, the organizers of
the Great Northern S. S. Co.
formed their Corporation, which
received its charter from the State
of Massachusetts, October 11,
1922.
They visualized a new ocean
steamship line, plying between
Boston and European ports, con
trolled by the people, which would
offer to these same people a
chance for ocean travel on com
fortable commodious ships, at a
price within the reach of all, but
large enough to allow a profit for
the investor and a sufficient mar
gin to allow for carrying on and
enlarging of the enterprise.
This was their threefold purpose
to render a genuine service to the
people, —to help build up Ameri
can shipping, —and to bring busi
ness and trade to the port of Bos
ton. In spite of the failure of the
Ship Subsidy Bill, in spite of the
opposition which each new com
petitor in an established field en
counters, this Company is bring
ing its plans to maturity and ex
pects that very soon it will be able
to offer definate sailing dates to
the public.
This, surely, is an enterprise
that merits your support.

FIVE HENRY CD. BUTS
COMPLETE THEIR YEARS
TECH
Atlanta, Ga.— Five Henry
County boys have completed their
year’s work at the Georgia School
of Technology. They a*e: Robert
P. Horton, son of T. J. Horton; D.
J. Smith, son of Joe Smith; Frank
D. Newman, son of J.B. Newman;
Allen J. North, son of Mrs. W. A.
North; and James A. Henderson,
son of Mrs. W. D. Henderson, of
Hampton.
Henderson will be a Junior next
fall in the Mechanical Engineering
department, while North will bj a
Senior. North is a graduate of the
Hampton High School. He goes
out for footba'l and baseball.
Smith and Horton will be Sopho
mores in the school of Commerce.
Newman is a freshman in the En
gineering department.
All departments at Tech haye
been over crowded during the
past year due to the limit on teach
ing staff, resulting from the small
appropriations made by the State.
Unless the appropriations are in
creased for the next year it will be
necessary to limit enrollment with
the result that probably from
three to four hundred applicants
for admission to the freshman
class will be turned away. It is
hoped to provide classroom ac
commodation for all advanced
students. The percapita appropri
ation for Tech students from the
State during the present year was
only $61.77, less than one-third
the total cost of operation with
the utmost economy.

There is wonderful development
along agricultural lines taking
place in the state of Georgia by
means of more intensive cultiva
tion, diversification and a definite
program will soon have been de
veloped in all the counties which
will sDell prosperity to our state
and territory.”
‘‘Georgia feels that she has every
inducement to offer to textile in
dustries, knowing that we have
the natural advantages, and the
economic factor of bringing facto
ry to the raw product needs no
argument.”
Alfred C. Newell, president of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
announced at the beginning of his
administration that his organiza
tion would work unremittingly for
the development of all Georgia
industrially and agriculturally. The
step taken by the Atlanta body
this week is in fulfillment of that
pledge.
