For a number of years Mr. Mc-
Gill has served as executive editor
of the Atlanta Constitution. In
addition to being a writer, he is
widely known as a speaker, and
his address here it expected to at
tract listeners from every section
of the county.
Mr. McGill’s daily column in The
Constitution, “One Word More,”
is read and quoted through the na
tion. He is recognized as an au
thority on a wide range of sub
jects.
He was selected recently by the
War Department to tour England
with a group of representative
newspapermen to obtain first
hand information for American
newspaper readers. He visited
production plants in Britain as
well as military installations.
Rev. Yarbrough also announced
that the Rev. Henry Jones will
preach the morning sermon at the
Methodist Church this coming
Sunday morning. Rev. Jones is
district superintendent of the De

pany here, S. S. Barrett, assistant
treasurer for the company, and J.
F Phillips, vice-president of the
Bank of Covington, and County
Victory Fund chairman. In a let
ter to Mr. Phillips, Mr. Barrett
expressed hope that the county
d"ive would prove successful.
During the first 14 days of the
Third War Loan campaign, New
ton County citizens have bought
। $98,000 in bonds, which is less
than the amount bought during
the same period in the Second War
Loan last April.
“While we are delighted with
this splendid response from the
patriotic citizens of the county,"
Mr. Hay said, “we still have a
long way to go to meet the New
ton County quota of $500,000,
“Even when the corporation pur
chases shall have been added to
our figures, we shall lack several
hundred thousand dollars of going
over the top.
“It will therefore be necessary
for every individual to participate
in this campaign by buying just
as many bonds as possible. In
deed, the campaign cannot be
counted a success unless we do
have such a general participa
tion.”
In an effort to stimulate the sale
of bonds here, a concert was given
on the Public Square last Satur
day night by the 28-91606 Georgia
State Guard Band, from Atlanta,
under the direction of Capt. M. A.
Greenblatt. Taking part on the
program were S. M. Hay, County
War Fund chairman, George Starr
Peck, a member of the Guard band,
and Mrs. F. C. Nesbitt, who spoke
in behalf of the Georgia Federa
tior of Woman's Clubs, urging
citizens to buy bonds to the limit
of their means.
In a telegraphic appeal to
Georgia newspapers, Charles A.
Stair, state chairman, urged each
individual to purchase at least one
additional War Bond.

The black stamps in Book Four

12 ’’coffee” stamps and 72 “spare"

Although coffee is no longei

for any of the programs.”

tail the use of water. That’s no
longer necessary. The City lake,
technically known as an emergen
cy basin, has supplied the City’s
water for the past three weeks
and there’s still enough on hand
for City officials to say; “Use ail
you want.”
The lake holds 150 million gal
lons and despite the fact that it
has been drawn on for the past
three weeks, there is still plenty
of water left. There’s no need to
waste it, for it takes electrical
power to pump it. But remember
there’s plenty of it, so use all you
and your family needs.

America's Slake
In Canada, Theme
01 Kiwanis Talk
The Kiwanis Club last week at
its luncheon meeting heard as
guest speaker Prof. R. A. Thorne
of the faculty of Emory at Oxford,
who spoke most interestingly of a
recent visit to his native Canada,
at which time he had occasion Io
observe again what he called
“America’s stake in Canada.”
Prof. Thorne pointed out that
the successful cooperative effort
' of the United States and Cancda
to produce most rapidly and cf-
I ficiently for their united and com
mon xvar effort had a suggestion
and implications of global signifi-|
cance. The trustful attitude and
the pooling of interests for the
mutual welfare of both nations,
said he, offered a pattern for post
war rehabilitation and collabora
tion too significant to be over
looked. “Only when men and na
tions come to trust one another."
he said, “can they move forward
toward permanent good will and
[ harmony.”
One example of the two-nation
cooperative program is the great
Saint Lawrence River waterway
project, which, when completed,
will open up ocean shipping to the
whole middle western section ot
the United States., as well as to
great inland areas of Canada.
PTof. Thorne also mentioned
many natural resources in Canada
which the United States would
need in future eras of expansion
in industry. All of these ties be
tween the two nations, he said,
simply emphasize the need of con
tinued good will between them and
| make plain to all observing Am
ericans that the United States has
great stakes in Canada.

Hoke Smith Glides
Down Ways As 200
4H Members Cheer
(Continued from Page One)
new to officials who see a ship a
week do down to sea. The Geor
gia youngsters, many of them see
ing a ship for the first time, were
awed and thrilled to the marrow
by the giant their pennies and
dimes, their work and time had
built.
“I know Joe ain’t gona believe
a. word of this when I tell him
how big this ship is," one little girl
told her companion. “Why, that
thing's as big as those big build
ings in Atlanta; betcha it's big
ger'n any ship in the world.”
Miss Cook, of Covington, retir
ing president of the State 4-H Club
Council, showed the excitement
when she slammed th bottle of
champagne against the bow with
a Habe Ruthish swing w'hich sent
champagne spattering all over the
place, including the maid of honor,
Lottie Gay, of Garfield, in Jenkin*
county.
Two granddaughters, a grand
daughter-in-law, and a great
grandson of Hoke Smith, all from
Atlanta, represented the family.
They were Mrs. R. M. Jordan and
Mrs. Marion Smith Allen, grand
daughters: Mrs. Hoke Smith, wifa
of Hoke Smith’s grandson, and J.
P. Allen 111, son of Mrs. Allen.
The 4-H Club members honored
Senator Smith because he was co
author of the first bill making
possible agricultural extension
work, a project leading to the cre
ation of 4-H clubs.
Dr. S. V. Sanford, chancellor of
Georgia's University System, spoke
briefly and praised accomplish
ments of the state's 4-H members.
“These youngsters have united in
every county to produce and mar
ket food to supply Georgia men
now in the earned forces,” he said.
Explaining the magnitude of the
task, Dr. Sanford said the aver
-1 age serviceman eats yearly 150
pounds of beef, 80 pounds of pork,
45 pounds of poultry, 35 dozen
' eggs, 250 pounds of Irish potatoes,
' 25 pounds of sweet potatoes and
1 20 pounds of shelled peanuts.
“Os course, the food produced
may not go directly to the armed
forces,” he said, "but it will go
into regular trade channels and
in this way release other food sup
plies t* our fighters.”
Dr. Sanford said the S. S. Hoka
Smith was only part of the re
sults of the state-wide bond-sell
ing campaign. The clubbers sold
bonds valued at $9,500,000, he said,
enough to pay for four and one
half Liberty ships.
Dr. Sanford was introduced by
Walter H. Brown, director of the
Georgia Extension Service, who
also lauded the 4-H program and
its achievements in Georgia under
the direction of 38-year-oJd W. A.
Sutton ,one of the youngest State
4-H Club leaders in the nation.
Also taking part in the program
were four 4-H members who led
in bond sales for the campaign.
They were Frances Wilkes, 18, of
Walker County, who sold $1,139,-
400 in bonds; Helen Owens, 17, of
Chattooga County, $104,425 worth
of $25 bonds: Franklin House, 17.
of Bartow County, who led 4-H
jboys in the state by selling bonds
valued at $323,825, and James
Hickman, 15, of Upson County,
$2,225 worth of $25 bonds.
As a part of the program,
4-H Club members told how
they sold the bonds. They worked
through the summer, walking
Georgia’s dusty roads or trudg
ing through the rain to reach
every man, woman or child who
might want a stamp or a bond.
The four leaders were inter
viewed by Jack Darnell, of Cobh
County, new president of the State
4-H Clij;b Council, and Ann Parks,
also of Cobh, who serves with
young Darnell as master of cere
monies on the 4-H Club's weekly
broadcast over Station WSB of
Atlanta, on the Dixie Farm and
Home Hour.
Immediately so 11 owi n g the
It tinching workmen began laying
the keel for another Liberty ship
planned as a sister ship to the
Hoke Smith.
Music for Thursday's launching
was provided by a band made up
of employes of Southeastern yards.
Four-H songs were played and the
entire program was recorded on
transcrip'ion by Station WSB and
brcadcast or. the Dixie Farm and
Home Hour.
It. was an inspiring sight to see
the S. S. Hoke Smith head for the
sea and the big job of carrying
beef and pork, potatoes, poultry,
eggs and peanuts, to our fighting
men carrying the food grown by
ycvnpsters in a ship builit by
youngsters.
