With Apologies to O. O. McIntyre
Betimes a small town band
should be organized—NRA and all
the wonderful opportunities for a
band to step out in front, knowing
that they are putting a thrill into
a parade People are like chil
. . .
dren when they hear a band—the
whole populace in the town or city
troops out to see . . . and after the
parade is over, they return,
ing they were “that man
waves the magic baton and every
musician squads rights or follows
orders"—me, too . . ,
I can remember the old 32
piece band, and Covington prided
itself in its wonderful talent—
The funny part is that the talent
ls s tm there but the interest isn’t
A wonderful opportunity for
. . .
some good man or organization—
one that will continue to perfect
instead of forget . . .
My heartiest congratulations to
my friends, Mr. and Mrs. R. R.

others were following suit . . .
Often wonder how people at some
time have a feeling they are being
watched and when they look
around—it’s true . . .

Sometimes wonder why a news
paper man—no matter how good
or how bad—always remains a
newspaper man throughout life,
Occasionally 1 have a yen for some

to facts—it’s a different matter
. . . “News ink in the blood and
he’ll face forty shotguns for his
job" must be true . . . We news
hounds are happy despite our
! small income so why worry . . .
the happiest people in the world.
Like Tommy Callaway in a

Emily Elliott’s attractive slender

Anice Wismer has become one of
Covington’s most popular in the

1 ATTRACTIONS AT
STRAND THEATRE
“Charlie Chan’s Greatest Case,”
the new Fox production depicting
the latest adventures of that fam
ous Hawaiian deceteive, comes to
this theatre on Friday. The pic
ture reunites the three personali
ties that have carried the inimit
able Charlie Chan to the heights of
serene popularity.
“The Last Trail,” the Zane Grey
romance for Fox Film that shows
Saturday must be put down as the
finest film ever offered George
O'Brien, It has sizzling speed,
breakneck action, tender romance,
and hilarious comedy. Its theme,
dealing with the transfer of rac
keteer activities from beer-running
in the big city to cattle-rustling on
the western plains, is something
decidedly new in adventurous film
fare.
“My Weakness,” the new Fox
production that presents the pop
ular Lilian Harvey In her tint
American film play, comes to the
Strand on Monday for an engage
ment of two days.
For her initial appearance be
fore the American lens, Miss Har
vey has one of the most popular
stars of the screen as her leading
man—Lew Ayres. He was selected
after a thorough search among the
stars of Hollywood, and the fina 1
choice was made with Miss Har
vey’s own approval. The cast
boasts some of the outstanding
performers on the screen, among
whom are Charles Butterworth
and Harry Langdon, comedians;
Sid Silvers, the world’s most fam
ous “stooge”; Irnee Bentley, film
dom’s latest “find”; Henry Trav
ers, popular veteran of the New
York stage; Adrian Rosley and
Mary Howard, daughter of Will
Rogers.
Charlie Ruggles, enacting the
role of an incurable married flirt
in “Melody Cruise,” RKO-Radio’s
musical production with Phil Har
ris and Greta Nissen, showing at
the Strand Wednesday, finds him
self on the spot when he discovers
two scantily clad chorus beauties
in his steamer cabin while sailing
from New York to California.
His escapade with the chorines
is penned by Phil Harris in a let
ter to Ruggles wife, played by Mar
jorie Gateson. He mails it with
instructions that it be opened only
in case of his marriage. Serious
complications materialize when
Harris really falls in love. Despite
compromising situations of Rug
gles’ creation, Harris marries the
girl as the comedian grovels for
the letter from his wife in a spicy,
delightful climax.
It’s her beauty that makes a
man keep his eye on a woman, but
it’s his faults that make a wife
keep her eye on him.
An average wife is one who
loves her husband, but still has a
sneaking feeling that she might
have done better.

ROAD PROGRAM TO
FOLLOW NRA PLAN
Ex-Service Men to Get First
Choice in Project for
Georgia.
Provisions of the National Re
covery act governing employment,
must be compiled with strictly in
recruiting personnel for Georgia’s
$10,000,000 highway construction
program, it is pointed out in in
structions made public at the State
Highway Department.
Ex-service men with dependents
must be given preference in the
employment of labor and weekly
working time must be limited to
thirty and forty hours at 30 and
40 cents an hour, the regulations
provide. Contractors must draw
their labor supply from an agency
designated by the U. S. Employ
ment Service, except in cases of
gx-service men with dependents
and employes used in an executive
administrative or supervisory ca
pacity.
The Highway Department will
work with Cator Woolford, state
director of the National Re-em
ployment Service, in the matter of
finding labor, the department said,
Mr. Woolford himself will not re
ceive applications, but will call on
local employment agencies in the
vicinity of the highway project for
a list of available workers. From
this list the contractor will select
his forces.
No fee of any kind may be
asked or accepted by the contrac
tor or his agent from any person
obtaining work on one of these
projects, nor shall any person be
required to pay and fee to any
person or agency obtaining em
ployment for him on the project.
The regulations provide that as
much of the road work as possible
shall be done by hand labor, in
order to spread the employment
to as many persons as possible.
Blossoming- Peach
Trees Are Common
Sight Here Now
Blooming peach trees in

and Newton county residents are
becoming accustomed to,
thought it is getting late into
Fall season.
This week it has come to the
tention of the Covington
staff in several instances
peach trees in the city are
ing. One Covington man
that a peach tree in his back
“is simply loaded with
and has been so several days.”
Old-timers claim that it is
unusual for peach trees to blossom
in the Autumn, and it Is usually
sign of a very late Fall, Perhaps
this accounts for so many pecah
blossoms in Covington this late in
October,
A loud voice interrupts her “No, I
not like that. The chances are ten'

harvesting in this county, more

A thorough study of this relief
provision for unemployed state
teachers is being made by the
county superintendent.
