Seek ye first the Kingdom of

pastor of the Peachtree Road Me
thodist Church, in the baccalau
reate sermon to Emory at Ox
ford students here Sunday morn
in g.
"I beg of you to get a broad
background of training.” said Dr.
McPherson. “The old frontiers are
gone, and you are going to need
a versatile education to face the
post-war problems. New invent
ions will force you to make many
occupational adjustments. The
man who can do more than one
thing will stand the best chance
«-“•
ahead.’
Dr. McPherson told his youthful
audience that they could best
serve their country now by stay
ing in school and studying hard.
He reminded them that the Gov
ernment could use trained minds

As part of the observance a

School Pictures
Ready Next Week
Due to the fact that the
tures taken at one county school
turned out bad and could not be
retaken before going to press, the
publication of these pictures of
the various schools for the annual
school edition has been delayed
for another week. The publication
of a portion of the school news is
carried this week. The remainder
will be carried next week along
with the pictures.
The pictures taken at Palmer
Stone School failed to turn out
properly and all graduates from
this school are urged to come to
the News Office Monday morning
at 11:00 o’clock for another pic
ture. The News regrets this incon
venience, but nothing further could
be done.
The 1942 edition of Memory,
Emory at Oxford yearbook, was
distributed to eager students Sat
urday.
Considered by many to be the
best issue in the history of the an
nual, the book this year combines
to a high degree excellent format,
art, and photography. Much Iarg
er than former annuals, the 1942
Memory lends itself to a better
display of features.
James Bennett, of LaGrange* is
editor of the annual, and James
Freeman, of Sylvania, is business
manager. Both Bennett and Free
man were ably assisted in
work of the publication by Pro
fessor C. Lee Harwel, head of the
history department and faculty
adviser to Memory.

COMMISSIONER TOM LINDER URGES
GEORGIANS TO USE FRESH PRODUCTS
Says Thai Lack Of
Has Created Surplus
Improper transportation facili
ties and increased production has
caused a surplus of certain fresh
perishable products on various
state markets, Tom Linder, Geor
gia Commissioner of Agriculture,
^<3 this wee j t> j n urging home
consumption of fresh produce to
a y q; d waste,
“It is very essential that all of
these products be consumed as is
humanly possible in order that we
may cooperate with the “Food for
Defense’ program,” he said, add
ing that “every ounce of food is
needed in this war and we must
not allow any to go to waste.”
He pointed out that a recent
ODT order would not allow a
trucker to make a trip after June
1 unless he returned with a 75
percent load. Due to the uncer
tainty in the trucker’s mind of
being able to meet with this re
gulation he would not leave the
State with a load of perishable
products for fear that he would
be unable to obtain a 75 percent
load of some product on the re
turn trip, he explained.
“Many trucks that were haul
ing perishable products last year
have been converted to the use
of hauling freight during the pre
sent emergency,” Commissioner
Linder said, pointing out that
these combine( j factors have caus
ed tbe gur p bls 0 f perishable pro
ducts.

that everyone in Georgia con
sume to their limit the use of
these fresh perishable products,”
Mr. Linder said.
“Local retail merchants, whole
sale dealers, cafe operators and
housewives in this State can and
should be a most beneficial source
in promoting the use of these fresh
perishable products. Each should
utilize every one of these products
and in as large an amount as they
; possible can,” he added.

;
I have received two new Exten
j sion pamplets on Grain Sorghum
and Soybean production. You may
have either of these for the ask
ing.
The Grain Sorghum circular
points out that Hegari. Grohoma,
j Sargrain, and Kafir are best ad
apted to Georgia conditions. He
gari is the most popular in Geor
gia and in this county. Hegari
has juicy, leafy stalks, compact
heads, and yield a good amount of
grain and forage.
The Hegari, often called high
gear, can be planted after the
I grain crop and give a good yield.
In this county good yields have

seeded in late July but under us- :

before July 1.
Seed should be treated to con
