7J” Couple Becomes
Parents on 13th
MARIETTA— 1 There’s one Mariet
ta couple who put no faith at. all in
superstition On November 13, Mr.
and Mrs Max Clotfeiter became the
parents of a lusty, 9-pound boy. Re
flection revealed that the two met
each other on a 13th; had their first
“date” on the 13th, and were mar
ried on the 13th.
i Doctor Caldwell Speaks
President Harmon W. Caldwell of
the University of Georgia blamed
present economic conditions in
Georgia partly on the lack of early
training of farm people as to how to
prepare themselves on meeting ag
^cultural conditions •Erosion, for
instance, had cost millions of dol
lars because farmers had not been
prepared to cope with it. A vast
amount of money had been spent on
fertilizer in an effort to try and
overcome misuse of the land. Doc
tor Caldwell declared that Georgia
farmers are not producing enough
eggs and some other agricultural
products to even meet the demand
of Georgians. He also said that t hree
and one-half million young farm
People had gone out of the South
and settled in other states because
of lack of opportunities on the
farms.

My dear Constituents:
I have had the flu. If you have
ever suffered an attack of that sub
tle malady you know how low my
spirits have been during the last
ten days. My temperature was high
then sub-normal, and finally, when
it reached normal, I was so weak,
I couldn’t do my work, so as the
weather was fine I decided to get
out in three of the afternoons and
give my family a rest. I went visit
ing.
I went to see the three oldest
postmasters in the District. One of
them, I believe, is the oldest one,
and has served longer than any
postmaster in the State. She is Mrs.
Sarah J. Carries, postmaster at Ken
wood ,in Fayette County, who was
eighty-one years old on August 18th
past. She is active, alert and has
such bright eyes that you can hard
ly believe she has served that long
yet the records show that she was
appointed on December 22, 1894 for
ty-five years ago.
I visited Patrick Clay Whitley, the
genial postmaster at Gleen, in Heard
County, who has served continu
ously for forty-two years, having
been appointed on October 28, 1897
Mr. Whitley is active and alert, al
so, being 73 years old, and in all the
forty-two years of his service has
lost only four days from the duties
of his office on account of illness.
I also visited Mr. John O. Bush,
the postmaster at Goggins, in La
mar County. Mr. Bush is seventy
one and has served twenty years as
postmaster.
Under the Civil Sendee Retire
ment Act these three veterans will
be retired for age on January 31,
1940. Don’t you think they deserve
the thanks and felicitations of us
all? I am glad that our grateful
Government will carry them on the
retired roils so long as they live.
We have no more loyal sen-ants
of our Government than these post
masters over the country and they
serve Uncle Sam not only in the
efficient handling of the mail, but
they perform all kinds of services
gratis, posting notices of all kinds,
witnessing papers and acting as
agents of the government in their
communities. They, with the rural
letter carriers, constitute the great
est line of communication in the
world, and are a great bulwark of
defense. Sincerely,
A SIDNEY CAMP.
My Dear Constituents:
When I wrote you last week 1
thought I had about recovered from
my attack of influenza, but I dis
covered that I was entirely too op

i n c o a p o a at c o
timistic, for here I am all shut up
in the hospital, with my ears roar
ing. my eyes burnings, and everv
thing tasting tike the first rabbit
tobacco cigarette I smoked as a boy
I am obeying the doctor's orders
strictly now with the hope that I
can at least regain my sense of taste
in time to enjoy Christmas dinner j
This week I can truly say as the
lamented Will Rogers that “All I
know is what I read in the papers
or hear over the radio, and nearly'
all I have read and heard has been
the “Gone With the Wind Celebra
tion’’ here in Atlanta.
Some think that the premiere of
the motion picture was peraps over'
celebrated or emphasized, but 11
don’t agree with them. The huge
sale of Margaret Mitchell’s great
book shows that after seventy-five 1
years the time has at last arrived
when ihe historical record of the
South can be set straight- It could
not have been done earlier. General
Lee realized this, for on February
23, 1866 he wrote Mi's- Jefferson Da- I
vis, "I have thought, from the time
of the cessation of hostilities, that
silence and patience on the part of
the South was the true course; and
I think so still.” On March 16, 1866
he wrote General Early “At present
the public mind is not prepared to
receive the truth. We shall have to
be patient.” So I think we should
rejoice that millions who have la
bored under false conceptions of
our motives and ideas will come to
understand us when they see this
great picture. They will realize the
splendid courage and determination
of our people in rebuilding this sec
tion. They will learn of our fine
climate and resources. And all of
us will be vividly impressed with the
futility and awfulness of war.
Let me wish for all of you a very
Merry Christmas. Sincerely,
A SIDNEY CAMP
