MARY LANE.
Hello folks. We guess Scoop
Statham got to feeling sorty sorry
for us after reading last week’s
little “measley” column, so he
politely slipped us a few little
notes We aren’t going to say
which ones but we’re going to
give him credit for ’em anyhow
. , . WE’RE ASKING YOU . Did
Creepy look funny Saturday night
when he set up five young misses
to what he thought was five ice
cream cones, but what turned out
to be five sundaes? (You don’t
have anything on Creepy when it
comes “on the house”, Dura!) . .
What’s wrong with Betty and
Jayde? or rather J. D.? Do
Lorene and J. L. English enjoy
each other’s company? . . Are
Mary Rye and Ray Moore serious?
.. . Why was Ray Gunn so anxious
to tell us something on Scoop S. ?
. . Why was Dennis Hancock
afraid to go home by himself Fri
day night? ... Did “Martha” call
Arthur Bellew Saturday night?
. . . What is Hazel Haggard going
to do with two Kenneths? . . . I
How can anyone go to South
Carolina and get a NORTHERN
accent? . Did Charles Lee ever
get that call Saturday night? . . .
How did the cold “snap” affect
you Saturday? We only wore one
shirt, two sweaters and a heavy
topcoat . . Now that's enough
- we'll TELL
ASKING . Now start

S. Booth witnessed a deed from
self useful in the kitchen. In ad
dition to Scoop’s excellent choco
late fudge recipe comes an of
ficial news flash that Bob Paty
is an excellent dishwasher! . . .
Last summer when Dorsey Reagan
did a guest column for us he gave
as his nominations for Porterdale’s
glamour girls, Helen Almand,
j ea nette Andrews and Julia Mer
ritt. Now we’re giving our nom
inations for Porterdale’s glamour
boys namely: Wingate Penick,
Jayde Hilton and Jack Chapman
. . . Creepy has some new swing
records up at his house and
vites you all up to
with him! . . . SITES OF

Luther Sprayberry sends us the
first two issues of “The Kernel”,
student newspaper at MGC. Some

Editor—“Why this is the same
story I turned down last week”.
Young Hopeful—“I know—I just
thought I’d give you another

up in the November issue:
“With Violet cuddling in his arms
He drove a Ford—poor silly
Where he once held his Violet
Now he holds a lily.”
The Office Boy really had us in

we’d heard about it. Then we
found out the meeting was ’sposed

. . . Sunday night Miss Mary
Katharine Medley will present the
Choral Club and Junior Choir in a
Christmas Cantata at the Baptist
Church. Ernest Bennett says it is
even more spectacular than the
still talked aljout Easter Cantata
presented last Easter. Be sure and
come, we’re sure you’ll enjoy it!
... As we close the column this
week it is with a feeling we’ve
never felt before. For the first
time in our life we’ve heard a
declaration of war between the
U. S. A. and another nation. Some
thing we never expected to hear
and it leaves us with that “church
feeling” the announcer said exist
ed in the House and Senate. Let
us now realize that we are a nation
at war and put our best foot for
ward in tiding to preserve de
mocracy by giving all we have
for this country and thinking
of self but OTHERS.

A GLANCE
DeKalb County’s Agricultural
Agent E. P. McGee holds his own
county a s an example of the
type of farming, which in 'his
opinion, will be common in Geor
gia in the years to come. It is the
small, one-family farm, operated
by the owner and his family, with
one cash crop or an outside m t
come providing their actual mon
ey needs Farms of 40 acres or
so, with a comfortable home, a
garden that raises all the vege
tables they need for the family
table, fruit trees a cow or two or
three, a few hogs and perhaps, a
small area devoted to a cash crop,
will be the rule. Community co
operatives for marketing of the
cash crops, after they have been
uniformly graded and packed, are
a part of the coming system, he
says.
“Such a method of farming, re
placing the outworn Southern
custom of the large ‘plantation,’
worked by hired help or share
croppers, will mean a far more
stable and progressive rural pop
ulation for the state, comments
the Atlanta Constitution editorial
ly, adding: “Home ownership of
these small farms and homes pro
vides independence and at the
same time offers as sure a road as
any to a supporting competence in
the later years of life . . . Small
independent, self-supporting fami
ly farms of this character may
well spell the ultimate salvation
of Georgia, fundamentally and
naturally an agricultural state.”
GIST OF THE NEWS:
welfare expenses in Georgia
the fiscal year ended June
1941, were $6,366,536.48,
with $4,345,768.54 for the
year, it was disclosed in a
just made public . . . Bids
been advertised for the
struction of the old State
at Milledgeville, which
was destroyed by fire
months ago. An executive
by the Governor directed that
state contribute up to $100,000
the cost. The Governor said an
other $60,000 was availably from
insurance on the building. Bids
will be opened at the Capitol De
cember 29 . . . Georgia now is the
nation’s champion producing state
of not one nut, but two Our
state leads the country in both
peanut and pecan crops, Pre
liminary figures for 1941 show
Georgia picked and threshed
i 488,250,000 pounds of peanuts,
with North Carolina running a
poor second with 284,760,000
pounds. In the pecan realm,
Georgia this year will produce
9,497,000 pounds, with Alabama
ranking second wtih only 3899,000
pounds.
EDITORIAL ODDITIES: The
Alma Times finds: “The parking
problem is getting to be a real
concern to the younger genera
tion” . . . The Darien Gazette
points out “A fellow shouldn’t
predict the future. It's all one
can do nowadays to keep up with
the present” . . . The Summerville
News tells this one: “Speaking
of results, a man gave us an ad
vertisement the other day and be
fore we could print it, he found
what was lost’’ . . . The Butler
Herald says: “Life wasn’t so com
plicated in the old days. A man
didn’t have to hire a lawyer to
answer all of the letters to the
government” . . . Chatsworth’s
The Murray Herald has this
say: “An heirloom is said to be
an article handed down from
father to son, but it looks like a
mighty poor name for a pair of
trousers ”
