“Bridges”
By H. Elder
There are things about bridges
j so like the lives of men that we
can almost find a in them -
Bridges are planned by a mind
i hat is Poking into the future.
They are bu.lt for a purpose-to
be of service—but before they can
be useful they must be built on
*
can undermine them .Bridges hav
to be above the water; they have
)o bp strong ^ nough to carry
heavy weights _
Lastly, a bridge is never left In
mid-air. The designer meant it to
span—to extend from one shore
to another.
1 The supreme power given to us
when we were created as we were
: —is the power of choice. One of
i the most important choices we
make is the thing we measure
ourselves by.
If we were comparing our lives
to bridges, would we be satisfied
; to be the kind that could only
| span shallow water — and then
would have to have sign "Weight
Poster”?
Would we not rather be like a
bridge that is built so high that
big ships can pass under it and no‘
touch it and that is located
, beautifully that when the light
the Lake Saturday night? Woo,
woo, Snake-doctor.
Something tells me that Lewis
L. likes to woo Dog-Patch style.
Arthur B. likes to bowl the R.
C. way.
Everybody seemed to be danc
ing to Tuxedo Junction at the
Lake Saturday night.
Virginia is expecting a visit
from her Heart-Beat (J. D.) Fri
day. He’s coming down from the
tall pines of North Georgia.
Mary R. is pure gold. If you
don’t believe it, just ask her.
As much as I hate to say it this
is the last issue of Listening In
and the P.HS. Review for this
year.
Listening In has had a short
life, but it has furnished a few
bright spots for your correspond
ent and we hope many more for
you who have read it
Although I have lived here in
your town for only about eight or
nine months I feel that I have
known you all my life, and took
the liberty of writing as if I had.
We hope you have not been of
fended by anything that has been
written here; for this column has
only two objects: To get some fun
out of life and to get the news.
Once again we wish to say that
we sincerely hope you have en
joyed "Listening In.”

soil and climate is readily adapt
able to numerous kinds of outdoor
floral production.
During the past year, hr point
cd out, approximately thirty small
floral businesses have opened in
towns of less Wian 5,000 popula
tion. Much interest is being man
ifested in this type of agriculture
in the state, he said, and added it
should dev elop into large com
mercial proportions.

How Much of a
Success Are You
By Geneva Harper
The question is “Do you have a
goal?” Your goal is your ambition.
To hoRt on to your ambition you
have to determine whether you
are going to change your mind
when time comes for you to get
the job.
Are you willing to sacrifice to
get the money to live up to your
ambition? Are you willing to give
up all kind of shows, parties and
other pleasures to get the right
kind of a job?
Do you play the game square?
Do you cheat?
Courtesy is a rule jo follow in j
living up to your ambition. I
Courtesy to your family will
help more than anything else. Try
to have courtesy in the schoolroom ,
and to others all around you.
Friendship will relate to the:
or not it will do moreetaoshrdlu
kind of person you are. It will do
more good than any other rule
you have in rules of the game of j
life.
Do you live the kind of iife that 1
Christ wants you to live? If you
live the way he wants you to live,
you will live up to your ambition.
The life He wants you to live is
on a high level.

Farm Women in

Miss Reba Adams, home indus
tries specialist for the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service, re
ports that approximately 503 wo
men have attended short courses
and meetings in handicraft work
this year. Handicraft instruction
has been given to farm women in
21 counties.
Six handicraft shoft courses,
with an attendance of 135 farm
women have been held in Crisp
Johnson, Greene, Cherokee, Mus
cogee and Decatur counties.
Counties in which handicraft
meetings have been conducted by
the Extension home industries
specialist include Fannin, Polk,
Walker, Floyd, DeKalb, Macon,
Tattnall, Jones, Telfair, McIntosh, j
Gwinnett, Jackson, Columbia, Ir-i
win and Coffee. Attendance was I
33 9.
Miss Adams said that farm
women attending the short courses
were concerned in making useful
articles for wear or daily use in
the home. Special emphasis was
given to native materials for use
in handicraft projects. I j

Interstate Commerce Body
To Regulate Private Trucks
The Interstate Commerce Com^
mission has found that it has ju
risdiction over the private motor
truck engaged in inters'ate or for
eign commerce, and accordingly
has issued safety rules and regu
lations governing the operation of
such trucks over the highways
and the hours of service of the
driver, the announced rules to be
come effective August 1, 1940.
Certain exemptions are provid
ed for farm trucks, but the tech
nical question of interstate and
intrastate commerce is involved.
A load of cotton or naval stores
from the interior of the state to
Savannah or Brunswick, Ga. for
export or trans-shipment to some
other state falls in the category of
interstate commerce, whereas if
it is moving to another interior
point in the state it is intrastate
commerce, and while the farmer
may handle his own load, if a load
of either commodity is handled by
the cotton factor or the naval
stores factor the truck is subject to
the safety rules and regulations
prescribed. The driver of the farm
truck has certain limitations
placed upon him.
Each private hauler of goods,
other than the farmer hauling his
own produce or hauling his sup
plies to the farm, will have to
comply with the new safety rules
and regulations which are prac
tically the same as those applying
to common can iers and contract
carriers of property for hire, in
sofar as he may engage in hauling
his own traffic in interstate com
merce, and as illustrated, many
loads which may not be first con
sidered as inteistate commerce, ; n
reality constitute interstate com
merce.
The Commission estimates their
order will affect 600,000 or about
20 per cent of the three million
privately owned trucks in the
country. The private carriers will
have to keep log books and
drivers employed after January 1,
1940, must qualify by passing a
physical examination, and trucks
must meet certain standards with

Calcium Arsenate
Kills Boll Weevils
Where bolt weevils are numer
ous in fields before squares be
gin to form, early, over-wintered
weevils can be killed by makin
from one to three pre-square a, I
plications of calcium arsenate. The
pre-square poisoning may be done
by using calcium arsenate dust or
by mopping the cotton with a
mixture of calcium arsenate, sy
rup and water. If the sweetened
poison is used, mix thoroughly one
pound of calcium arsenate, one
gallon of syrup, and one gallon of
water. This mixture should be ap
plied directly to the young plants
when the cotton is dry. A home
made burlap mop makes a good
applicator.
