The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIX 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. ATLANTA CHAMBER OF COM MERCE WISH TO PROMOTE GROWTH OF ATLANTA Atlanta, Ga., Jane 21.

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. “MIRUNDOLICK'S EXHIBITIONS” This Exhibition is given by the Auxilliary of the Kelley’s Church at Pleasant Grove School Building, Satuday evening at 8 o’clock, June 23.
