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.

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. “In this hour when -----— Hamilton Talks On Visual Education The regular meeting of the Cov ingtoM Rotary ci U b was held day noon at the Delaney Hotel with President W.

Facilities Perishables In State tion facilities are wholly inade quate, I make this earnest appeal 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.

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 1 been made with Hegari that was j seeded in late July but under us- : : ual conditions it should be planted j before July 1. Seed should be treated to con tool smuts and seed rot diseases. ra n * or ^ un \ * c um ' n mue ° n aRe " 0JJ0Sf SpGflKGTS _ At P 0016 BflptlSt ChUTCh . r jUDUdY , Two guests speakers will fill the pulpit at the Porterdale Bap tist Church Sunday, Rev.
