OF KIWANIS
S. A. Ginn Brings Noted
World Traveler to Local
Club Today.
The Covington Kiwanis Club
held its regular noon meetnig at
the Delaney Hotel Thursday noon
with President A1 David presid
ing and Virgil Y. C. Eady leading
the singing with Miss Fletcher
Lou Lunsford at the piano.
Only one member, Ike Robert
son, was absent, which gave the
club 98 per cent attendance. Mr.
Feagle, of Athens, chairman of
the State Underprivilege Children’s
Committee, was present as a vis
itor. John Birchmore had as his
guest his nephew, Lester Pereells,
area supervisor of education.
A splendid musical program was
enjoyed. Mrs. R. R- Fowler, Jr.,
and Mrs. James Benton, of Mans
field, rendered "The Egyptian
Love Song,” as a duet in a de
lightful manner. This was fol
lowed by a trio of former Lat
vians, guests of Rev. Sidney Gates.
The trio was composed of Rev.
Blumit, of Latvia; Mrs. Horn, of
New Jersey, and Miss Stanislaw,
of New York.
Miss Stanislaw, who is a feat
ured singer over the National
Broadcasting Company, also ren
dered two solos in a very fine
manner.
The program for this week will
be in charge of S. A. Ginn, who
has an extra special treat in store
for the members. Fred Birchmore
.
Jr., of Athens, noted author and
world traveler, will be the speak
er for the day. He has just re

Statistics Show 30 Acres Per
Person in Corn
Belt.
Statistics show that Newton
County farmers cultivate 5.9’
acres of land per person on the
farm. In the corn belt which is the
region of the United States show
ing the largest per capita income
for farmers, they have 30 acres of
land per person. This leads us to
the idea that we should strive to
increase the cultivated land per
person on the farm. Probably we
do not have the available land to
bring into production to greatly
increase the acreage per person, if
that is true then we evidently have
too many people depending on ag
riculture. If this is true we do not
have the answer to the problem.
But our inability to offer the solu- !
tion does not eliminate the prob-.
lem from the picture. Probably it
is an individual proposition that
farmers should begin to attack on
their own farm according to the
best plan, I j

In the course of a few short

man’s club and ten schools will

Newton County American Legion.
Sinc e separate prizes will be giv

winning schools and clubs a
deal of friendly rivalry has
teady developed. Moody Summers,
genial commandant of the Legion,
has assured the committee that
,he Legionnaires will be there to
command “attention” in no uncer

r °Ils around and in case you have
not heard the Rotary Club is ai
ready gathering a big bag full of
stunts to parade before an
thusiastic crowd of spectators on
the big night.
In addition to Covington
all other schools in 'the
county are invited to participate
in the competition. Including the
boys from our neighboring FFA
Camp and Emory Junior College,

op Decell’s letter to the Rev. H.
C. Emory follows:
"Two years ago the General
Conference assigned me to pre
side over the Geor § ia Conference,
Georgia people have been kind
and cooperative. I have found a
ready response to every appeal I
have made.
"When 1 came to Georgia one

record up to March 1st.
