Says . . .
It gladdens the heart to read
of the efforts of an Atlanta
judge to rescue the downs and
outs on skid-row. I am sure
that all Christians appreciate
the work of Judge T. C. Little,
whose compassionate heart led
him to sympathize with, and
try to up-lift those whom al
cohol has thrown into the gut
ter. We should all pray for him
every day; and I do.
The work of Alcoholics An
onomous, also is most commen
able, and one gives thanks for
these self-sacrificing men who
are ever ready to go to any
length to support and help

We take oft our hats to

But, My heart asks Why?
Why wait til men are in the

to prevent their fall? Why not
put a stop to the manufacture,
and the distribution of that
poison that brings to our peo

crime, and death, than any
other known agent?
Our laws prohibit the intro
duction into our country of all
kinds of “dope”. We move hea
| ven and earth to apprehend
the peddlers or “pushers”, and
j this is as it should be. But, if
you could check our nation as
a whole, where you’d find one
dope addict, you would find a
dozen drinkers.
In social life no host or
hostess would be caught offer
ing marijuana reefers to their
arriving guests, but would look
askance of one who refused a
cocktail at their party!
Is it any wonder that child
ren who see this beverage ser
ved in their own homes accept
it outside, then drive to their
distruction on the road?
This curse is not confined to
any one class of our people.
From the highest to the lowest
it strikes. There is scarcely a
family in our country that has
not suffered from its effects as
a father, brother, husband, son,
cousin, or in-law has gone
down under it, and, unfortun
ately, today we have to count
among its victims the female
of the species, as well as the
l males.
I say again why not prohibit
the manufacture, sale or use
of the stuff.
Some say we tried it once,
and prohibition didn’t prohibit.
Why didn’t it? Where there
were honest officers it did!
We might just as reasonably
ask today why the bootleggers
I continue to exist?
i When the liquor interests
sought the repeal of the 18th
Amendment, we were told that
drunkenness would disappear.
Has it?
Instead, the same issue of the
paper that carried the article
about Judge Little carried also
attractive advertisements of all
sorts of alcoholic liquors.
Time was when some of our
leading magazines refused to
! publish liquor advertisements.
; Today it is difficult to find one
that doesn’t present whole
| pages to show the attractive
ness of social drinking.
I wish I had space to show
you, Conyers, as I saw it be
fore, during and after prohibi
tion! Maybe I will some time!

The plantation opening is
one of the projects of the
Young Matrons’ Circle, service
organization of the Georgia
Feneration of Women’s Clubs.
The Young Matrons’ Circle
was organized solely for the
purpose of supporting Tallulah
Falls School.
Stone Acres is one of many
attractions which will open this
spring and summer at Stone
Mountain Memorial Park. The
authentic plantation buildings,
which have been moved from
their original sites in scattered
locations in the South, were
used once by upper middle
class plantation families. Stone
Acres is designed to depict the
typical self-sufficient Southern
plantation community of ante
bellum Georgia. The buildings
include the manor house, over
seer’s house, kitchen house,
barn, slave quarters, commisss
ary, coach house, and other
outbuildings. The formal gar
dens and other plantings re
flect the period when plantat
ion life flourished.
Tallulah Falls School is the
only educational institution
owned by a federation of wo
men’s clubs, and was built or
iginally as a pilot vocational
school for mountain school
children.

activities at Rich's downtown

‘•The members had a very in

cinating day. They gathered
on the 6th floor at Rich's and
were given special V.I.P. rib
bons which entitled them to
all the privileges afforded to
guests of Rioh’s. Richard Rich,
himself, was present to say
“good morning’’ and wish them
a happy visit.
At noon, they enjoyed a spe

high-light of the day was the
tea and fashion show at 3:30

fashion show, White on White,
a special fashion feature, cre
ated by Rich’s fashion coordi
nator, was presented.
Among the educational places
that the women visited, were
the housewares department to
view equipment gathered from
all corners of the globe. Os spe
cial interest were utensils for
baking from Germany, Swit
zerland and England. The wo
men also learned many new
home decoration secrets by vis
iting the home furnishings
store. This feature, along with
facts gathered in the fabric de
partment made this trip more
than worthwhile for the New

Mrs. Berry further stated
