More than $800,000.00 worth of modern war materials will bfc displayed to visitors of the Southeastern World's Fair in Atlanta, September
28 through October 6th. Parts of the exhibit which will include scout cars, armored cars, light tanks, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, infan
try guns, 3,000,000 candlepower anti-aircraft searchlights, and a special air exhibit, are pictured above.
Never before has the U. S. Army so generously participated in displaying modern war equipment, which covers three acres in the fair
grounds, and will require several scores of troups to demonstrate the various weapons. Trucks, guns, troops, and tanks will be sent from Fort
Oglethorpe, Fort Benning, Fort Crockett, Maxwell Field, Fort McPherson, and Fort McClellan.
In addition to this sensational army display, the National Livestock Show, the National Poultry Show, the Hall of States, the Radio Arts
Building, Free Grandstand Shows and Free Fireworks every night will combine to make the 1940 Southeastern World's Fair the greatest event
of its kind ever held in the South, with seven Southeastern states participating.

To Teach Again
At Univ. of Ga.
Louis T. Griffin, editor and pub
lisher of the Eatonton Messenger,
has been reappointed graduate as
sistant in the Henry W. Grady
School of Journalism, the Univer
sity of Georgia, for the approach
ing session, according to Dean
John E. Drewry.
Griffith received the bachelor
of arts in journalism degree from
the University in June 1939, and
returned for the 1939-40 session
to do graduate work and to assist
in the School of Journalism. He
completed the residence require
ments for the master of arts de
gree, and during the coming
school year will finish his thesis,
to be a history of the Georgia
Press Association, based largely
upon the official minutes and rec
ords of the Association, which
have been made available to him
for this purpose.
During the past summer Grif
fith acquired ownership of the
Eatonton Messenger, weekly
Georgia newspaper. His sched
ule during the coming session will
be such as to permit the continua
tion of his graduate work and
also the publication of his paper.
As an undergraduate in the
University, Griffith made an out
standing record both in the class
room and in extra-curricular ac
tivities

Man Loses Finger
Following Barbecue
A bear cage is no place for a
barbecue-dipped finger. A strang
er in Gainesville recently ate a
’cue and then decided to chuch
Mr. Bruin under the chin. Re
sult: the stranger drew back a
nub. ThTe following conversation
took 'place between the stranger
and citizen::
“Got any kerosn?”
“Sur.”
‘‘Wll. whil I’m oathmg my
hands, how about going into the
bear cage and getting my finer?"
"I wouldn’t go get your arm,
if you’d lost it in there.”
So the stranger departed, sans
finger, sans much blood, and sans
love for betrs that have a yen for
barbecue-flavored digits.

control of seed-borne diseases at
