sard disploma of a Graduate Cor
setiere.
This diploma is awarded only
after passing a rigid examination
in all branches of fitting, stock
keeping and selling.
Miss Kitchens, in telling of her
experience, spoke particularly of
the recent developments irr var
ious types of garments which now
are known under the general
name, corsets. The old idea of
objecting the figure to an natural
iressure has been abandoned and
istead, the garmemnts made to
■ay are designed to mold and
upport the figure in a manner
ooth comfort able to the wearer
and pleasing in appearance, Re
gardless of whether the garment, is
a corset, clasp-around, combina
tion, or a step-in, it is intended
to conform to the current fashions
and there is a proper selection for
■ill tvpes of figures from those that
require the simplest girdles to

j substantial Kitchens support., is well

SONGS OF THE SUNNY SOUTH
BEHIND YOUR CLOUD
Come take a peep behind the
cloud
And see your treasures lurking
there;
There is not a casket nor a shroud
Throughout the distance any
where.
There is not a troubled bit of
sigh
Between the shadows and the
sky.
Come take a peep now as you
pray,
It will seem so like an angel’s
dream;
You will feel the shadows move
away,
And heaven coming on the scene.
Come take a peep beyond your
cloud.
Beyond the casket, and the shroud.
Allen Chappell
Makes Strong Bid
For Welfare Post
Throughout the State of Geor
gia the campaign of Allen Chap
pell for a place on the Georgia
Public Service Commission is
meeting with popular support and
full approval of Georgians in ev
ery walk of life. Mr. Chappell, a
native of Americus, is running
against the present incumbent, Jud
P. Wilhoit.
The Americus Junior Chamber
of Commerce recently adopted a
resolution endorsing Mr. Chappell.
The resolution pointed out the
many years of faithful service that
Mr. Chappell has rendered in the
State Capitol and also pointed out
his willingness and ability to
serve the people.
Mr. Chappell is well known
throughout the entire State and
his many friends are rallying to
his support. On June 14 “The |
Madisonian,’’ weekly newspaper
of Madison, carried an editorial
praising Mr. Chappell and urging
the citizens of that county to sup
port him.
This same spirit is evidenced
throughout a large portion of
Georgia and present indications
point to Allen Chaopel, of Amer
icus, as a member of the Public
Service Commission, following the
coming elections.
1940 Is Travel
Year In America
According to Miss Lucy White,
manager of White’s Store at Por
terdale, motorists are “Seeing:
America First” this year, The
approach of the peak of the sum
mer vacation period indicates that
automobile tourist travel will set
a new record during the summer j
season of 1940.
“Provision for personal comfort \
in touring,” continues Miss White,
“is one of the most important re- j
quirements for a pleasant, care- j
free vacatin. It’s wise to choose,
loose comfortable clothes. If
they’re washable, so much the
better. Some people make it a
rule to eat lightly while traveling
by car and to_postpone the heavy
meals until in the evening. Sun
glasses are on many people’s
‘must’ list. They protect against
road glare, drowsiness and ltead
aches, Many motorists carry a
small, compact toilet kit, with j
: soap, wash doth and towels so
they can freshen up frequently
during hot, dusty weather.
“In the interest of safety, tires
should be carefully checked for
nails and body breaks, Where
tires are badly worn, it is best, to
replace them with new ones, es
pecially in view of the current
l low tire prices.”
