Tonight the Progressive Club is
sponsoring a Water Carnival at the
Swimming Pool and prizes will be
given to the winners in all the
events. There will also be a beauty
contest for the girls and the winner
wil! be s iven a prize.
Th e firs t thin 8 tb e Progressive
Club put on after its organization ,
,
was a driv e to increase the mem
bership of all the clqhs and Sunday
School attendance. Our records
show an average of people at-
tending Che.se clubs and
Schools when th € Progressive Club
started their drive and on March
3938, a check up showed an
of 1,506 or a total of 3.317 people
attending these Clubs and
Schools.
The next thing th e ProgressiveI
Club did was to appoint an Athletic
Committee to sponsor Volley Ball
and Basket Ball for the men and ;
girls during the winter months. Sev-1
eial Bat Tennis Courts were built
lor the young people to play Bat j
Tennis. This Committee sponsored j j
the building of the new soft ball
field with lights for the men and ;
women to play at night during the |
summer.
The Progressive Club has been or
ganized only nine months and has
made a good record in this length
of time for the great work it has
done for our village and people of
Porterdale. .
All of Club members have been '
our
very active in looking after the sick
and the needy throughout our vil
lage during the time our mills have
been on short time, and no one has
been allowed to suffer. Our Club
has also had the various cemeteries
in our village cleaned off and put in
good shape.
The Progressive Club sponsored
a soap box race on February 5, 1938. !
for all boys from 9 to 12 years of
age This was a great day and was
enjoyed by all. The race was
by ’Nathaniel Sears and the Club Is
going to send this boy to Atlanta
on July 22, to tak e part in the Soap
Box Derby on that date.
On February 12, the Progressive
sent Volley Ball Tearpa and Ping
Pong Teams to Macon To take part
in the Athletic Program put on by
the Bibb for all of their mills and
Porterdale was the winner of this
program.
On May 7, the Progressive
sponsored a May Day program for
all the people of Porterdale, with a
big barbecue. This was one of the
best: programs ever held in Porter
dale.
The Progressive Club organized
and formed a Golf Club and helped
to build a nine hole golf course
for our people and at the
time We have 100 members playing
on this course.
The Progressive Club, together
with th e Night Hawks and Four
Square Club, sponsored a Newton
County Boy Scout Rally on
17, at the Soft Ball Field with boys
Irom all over the County taking
part.
King Neptune’s Water Carnival
under the direction of Miss Mary
Ola Reynolds proved to be quite a
wonderful success. More than five
hundred spectators lined the
above the pool and an equal number
gathered around on the ground

Is not a question in the operation
of this business of the official and
the operative, but a
group endeavoring to create and
perpetuate a great organization and
I feel that that is th P true Bibb
family spirit.
We must appreciate each other
and together understand and up
predate the difficulties unde 1 which
our Company labors to keep Mie
Bibb going. You have done your
part in the past, and I certainly
hope that w e continue always to
retain the fine, friendly association
in our business relations in the fu

As stated above, the Company has
always come to you with their trou
bles and have been more than will
ing to listen to and administer to
their best ability to yours, Under
such an arrangement, there is no
question that cannot be worked out
if we mutually allow the problems
to be presented. The fine work of
the Progressive Club 'has helped
foster this spirit and let’s continue
to hold it. as our controlling social

More South
Carl B. Fritsche of Detroit, con
sulting engineer, according to the
Associated Press, urged the creation
of new industries using farm crops
for raw material as a means to rem
edy unemployment. He spoke before
the Virginia Bankers Association
The chemical industry, making
possible such new industries, he |
said, was headed South because the j
area "possesses that rare combina
tion of youth, power and raw ma-!
terials which is irresistible, provided
the new tools which modern science
affords are utilized.’’
In Virginia and throughout the
South, he continued, “you have un
touched wealth greater than that
of India and a population of about
35,000,000 compared to 320,000,000
who reside in that mystic land.
* * * And, in so far as resources
are concerned, you have scarcely
begun to touch the soil.”
The speaker said the problem of
coordinating science with the pro
ductive capacity if American agri
culture and the resourcefulness of
private enterprise to make a com
bined attack on the dual problem of
idle men and idle acres was the
supreme task confronting the nation
today.
“It ls much more important," he
added, “to be concerned over a
ciprocal trade treaty with rural
America than with a reciprocal
trade treaty with any other nation
on the face of the earth. When we
begin to appraise the profitable
market that exists there—the pop
ulation of rural America is 5,000,000
people. Including the small villages
and towns that serve the farmer
—wc will be on the right track :
toward restoring dependable pros
The speaker said research appli

materials thus provided “has pro
