Palmer-Stone
Wins 1; Loses 1
Playing is first home games of
the season before a good crowd
last Friday night, Palmer Stone
split a t o game basketball card
with Jersey; the girls winning 37-
18, and the boy's losing 13-14 in
the nightcap game. *
Coach Dickerson Palmer Stone
girl’s team looked for all the world
a sure winner this season as they
rang up 37 points to 18 for the
visitors. Hilda Ewing topped all
scorers for the game with 20
points . . Knight for Jersey scor
ed 14 points. On defense Palmer
Stone looked to be,good; from the
first team on down the line of sub
stitutes, same nine of them who
saw action. It would be difficult
to singe out any guard who played
best, for all played well.
After leading 5-4 at the half
Coach Butler’s boy’s slowed up a
bit and allowed Jersey to out score
them in the second half 10-8
thereby winning 14-13 in a defen
sive battle.
With one and one half minutes
left to play, Clay Jones scored a
field goal to break t hel2-12oo,
field g to break the 12-12 tie.
“Judge” Ellis rang a foul shot, for
the Wildcats last tally. Julian
Kitchens played well for the Wild
cats. Clay Jones scored 8 points for
ersey and played a good floor
game.
Basketball fans of Palmer
Stone and Covington and sur
rounding sections will see Palmer
Stone and Covington at it again
Friday night at Oxford, in the
year’s first meeting of the two
teams. Last year Palmer Stone
girls won twice from Covington
and the boys once. The record so
for t! year for the girl’s teams
is one win and one loss for Palm
er Stone and one loss for Cov
ington. Coach Brodgon’s Coving
ton Rams dropped last Friday
night's opening game in Covington
to Loganville, This game is the
only one ulayed so far by Coving
ton. Palmer Stone has lost both of
its games, a 22-18 count to Mans
field, League Champs; and a '4-13
game to Jersey. So watch for the
fire works Friday night at Oxford.
The girl’s game will start at 7:30.
Come early and get a good seat.
The building will be comfortably
heated.
In other years some grand games
have been played between these
keen rivals, and this meeting on
Friday night likely won’t be any
different.

of entries, Mrs. Odum’s slogan was

Old Ideals Termed
Hope Of Salvation
“The one and only remedy for
this world of chaos and confusion
'h 3 * exists today is for us to go
back and clutch firmly onto the
principles that are righteousness
and honesty,” Judge Lee B. Wyatt,
of Coweta circuit court, told the
Troup county grand jury in his
charge recently.
Deploring the fact that each
year the people of the United
States spend one-half as much for
beer as they do for food, clothing
and rent, Judge Wyatt cited beer
parlors as “largely the reason why
crime begins at such early age in
this country," as he elaborated on
the theme that midsdemeanor
crimes are the basic reason for
world conditions today.
“It gives me a sickening feel
ing when I realize there are more
barmaids in the United States than
there are college maids,” fte con
tinued.
An unused 1924 model automo
bile, so maintained that its buyer
says that it is as good as the day
it was built to sell for $1,685, re
cently went to the highest bidder
for $40. Modern cars selling for
less than half of its original price
can run rings around it.

4-H Work Stands
As Excellent
Defense Scheme
“Today 4-H club work stands
as one of our best defense pro
grams in this democracy. During
its 25 years of existence, it has
grown to be the greatest force in
the process and development of
rural America,” declares W. A.
Sutton, Jr., assistant state 4-H
leader.
“This national youth organiza
tion helps young people to keep in
touch with the finer things of rur
al life, and develops wholesome,
industrious and public - spirited
leaders and citizens,” the Exten
sion Service worker pointed out.
“Last year, 1.300.000 boys and
girls between the ages of 10 and
21 were actually enrolled in 4-H
clubs in the United States,
“In Georgia, there are over 82
000 4-H members. Each of them
are required to carry out a farm
<f home project, such as raising
of livestc ’k, farm crops, sewing,
cooking, and the like.
“In addition to regular projects,
the 4-H members are organized
into county and community organi
zations, under the supervision of
the county or home demonstration
agent. The 4-H boys and girls
elect officers from the member
ship, and they preside over each
0 f the meetings and plan the pro
grams.”
Mr. Sutton says 4-H club boys
and girls are demonstrators—they
learn and teach better ways on
the farm, in the home, and in the
community. The. work, earn mon
ey and acquire property. In 1*939,
for instance ’ he said Georgia 4
H’ers carried out 379.692 projects,
with a total value of products
grown amounting to $2,666,711.
Four-H members also build up
their bodies and improve health
through right living. Mr. Sutton
explained. “Then, too, they become
lenders—which means much to
our n Ion, not only in cases of
national defense, but also as citi
zens of these United States.
“Never in the history of the
world has th»"e been a greater
need for safe and sane leadership,”
the assistant Georgia 4*H leader
asserted. “Four-H work is contin
uing to lead the way in
young people develop into happy,
properous, and leading American
citizens—a great force in keeping
America free.”
