Early History Os
Oxford Lives In
Radio Script
By S. J. WHATLEY
Historic Oxford, steeped in
tradition and proud of its herit
age, will relive its early years
next Thursday night.
Thanks to Miss Peggy Worley,
a Connecticut Yankee at Wesleyan
College in Macon, Uncle Allen
Turner will, as he did in 1884,
urge Georgia Methodists “to build
a college of our own, not send
our money and young men to
Randolph Macon.” Dr. Alexander
Means, distinguished professor of
physics at Old Emory, will again
stand before his classes and tell
eager students that “the time
will come when our houses will
be lighted and heated with elec
tricity; our machines will be
powered by electricity.” And this
was long before Thomas A. Edi
son made practical application of
Dr. Means’ theory-
Once more Dr. Isaac Stiles
Hopkins, then president of
Emory, will be heard telling his
students to “educate your hands
as well as your head.” From this
utilitarian idea of Dr. Hopkins
was born the Georgia School of
Technology (1884), with him as
its first president.
Again, Kitty, the slave of
Bishop J. O. Andrew, will be
heard declaring, “I don’t want
to be free and go to Liberia. Use
gwinc stay with Old Marster and
Miss.” Little did Kitty realize
then that she was the unwitting
cause of the split between the
Southern Conference and the
Northern Church—a breach heal
ed only a few years ago-
Other great characters —Bishops
Pierce, Haygood, Key, and
Candler —will be heard.
Old Oxford will live again be
cause Miss Worley’s play, A His
toric Georgia Town, won the
right—in stiff competition with
the plays of other Wesleyan
students—to be put on the air
over StationWMAZ, at 8:30 p.
m., April 4.
Miss Worley’s father is the
pastor of the First Methodist
Church of Stamford, Conn. She
chose Oxford as the locale of her
winning story at the suggestion
of Miss Ann Carlton, a junior at
Wesleyan and daughter of Pro
fessor and Mrs. W, A. Carlton, of
Oxford.

Forest Lands Not
Producing Enough,
Farm Agent Says
Much of Newton County’s for
est land is not producing to fuL
capacity, County Agent J. W.
Scoggins declared this week,
pointing out that uncontrolled
fires and over-cutting are the
principal reasons for the small
amounts of timber produced per
acre.
Many forest lands also have
too few trees per acre, he said,
revealing that while newly com
pleted surveys indicate that the
state’s forest acreage is on the
increase, the amount of timber
per acre, especially in the Pied
mont section, is decreasing.
“This situation,” he said,
“adds up to the fact that the
forest land is not producing
anything like capaciy.”
Promiscuous burning and too
frequent heavy cutting, he warn
ed, mean that each succeeding
timber crop is of a thinner
stand and composed of smaller
trees.
“With present high land values
and shortage of labor, farmers
and other landowners canno,t
afford to grow just a piece of
a crop,” Mr. Scoggins explain
ed. “A cotton farmer would
go b.cke if he grew only a
quarter of a stand. In fact, he
would plow it up and replant.
“Woods, likewise need the
same degree of attention if they
are expected to produce at max
imum ’’ the comity agent as
sc? ted.

Search Continues
For Ruth Patrick
Missing 3 Weeks
The disappearance of young
Ruth Patrick, 12-year-old Por

the stage of an (unsolved mys
tery this week after no trace

The girl, missing since March
8, was last seen in Oxford, ap
parently headed for Dialtown.
She had obtained money from
the bank in Covington earlier in
the day on the pretense that her
father, a painter, had broken his
foot and that her mother desired
the money.
The child is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Louie Patrick, Por
terdale residents.
Possibility of FBI help in the
case was discounted by Sheriff
Benton oh the grounds' that no
