Can you get a thrill out, of the motto of one of the finest organizations of big men in the world, the “We Serve” of Rotary? Isita positive enjoyment to you to do something for another, for others? If it is you are fortunate. Your life is many times bigger and more worth while to you than it would otherwise be. There are, in its last analysis, only two kinds of enjoyment in life—the joy of giving and the joy of receiving. One can not always receive all he wants. The average man never has the opportunity of being sur feitedwith the joy of receiving. But he can give himself all the hap piness he wants in giving. That depends on him alone. You can not buy heaven, it is true, but you can buy happiness regardless of what the philosophers say. And the cosmic fund of happiness is pro-rated so wonderfully that the gan with little to give can buy as much as the man with much, It is dependent on the willingniess, rather than the ability, to pay. The widow’s mite brought her as much satisfaction as the rich man’s golden talents. Community Service is an enlargement on individual service. It is a development of civilization, one of the phases of a human change that has broveht mankind from a scattering of misanthropic cave men, hating fearing and fighting their neighbors, to a vast group of national, and geographic units, thie members of each unit striving for the good of the unit as a whole, because in the common welfare is found the most certain individual welfare, Community Service is the last word in real unselfishness, It supplants the “me and you” attitude of mind with the better attitude of “you and we.” It is indirect giving and, while the results are immediate and obvious, the return to the giver is not immediate and not obvious. Thus it represents the last analysis of unselfishness. Wednesday night Community Service, as it is organized in Fitzgerald, will demonstrate some of its possibilities in a pageant at the Grand Theatre Wednesday evening. Every man wants to put the money he has aside for the “purchase of happiness” to the best possible use, to give it where it will accomplish the greatest good. If he is fair minded he will give the Community Service Council an opportunity to present its evidence by attending the demonstration Wednesday. ' B FITZGERALD BANKS. : With the Federal’ Reserve Banks charging 7 per cent interest for $lOO and allowing the borrowing bank to use only $BO, it was a puzzling problem for all of the southern banks, including our home financial institutions, to finance the farmer and help him hold his cotton for a better market. The statements of our National Banks, as called for by the Controller of the Currency were printed by the Leader-Enterprise Friday. A close study of these statements will cause a thrill of pride in the Community, that despite the g(tncml‘ depressed conditions elsewhere, our home banks show a gain. | It has been a special satisfaction to local business, that these| institutions have never wavered in their loyalty to our farmers under these trying times, when the low price of farm products almost ])l‘(‘-i cipitated a panic in the entire country. The splendid showing re- | flects the confidence in which our banks are held and much credit is due to the officcers in active charge of these institutions. | - The banks of Fitzgerald are just one of the many factors which make Fitzgerald the logical prospective large city in south Georgia geographically and industrially well favorgd. Co-operation of all the business men, farmers and bankers will bring that city. A Sermon to [.ive By By Rev Elam Franklin Dempsey, D. D. CHRISTIAN PARENTS ! On May 3, 1794, in Wilkes County Georgia, Jumes Osgood An drew was born. He says in a letter: “My Fathe( was a ; relig man, (His mother was no less religious than his father.) Familyv-| worship was never neglected by him, and about once a week at ‘the | hour for family worship, he ave his children a short but appr priate | appeal on the subject of their religious interests. , I renmrember well | how these seasons used to impress me. In addition to this, he used often to take me with lim at eventide to his place of secret prayer in | the wods, and, leaving me some twenty yards behind him, knell and | wrestle carnestly with God. 1 often heard his groanings, and knew | that much of that aony was on my account. Ah! I shall never for- | get those evening prayer scenes.” And, when Bishop Andrew had a home of his own, hoyv was it with him as to The Family Altar Did he, when old, depart from it?” Bishop George Foster Pierce shall answer: “Peace and voncord reigned in the family. The morning and evenig devotions were solemn, lively, spiritual. The Bible lesson was read, an hymn was sung, and then prayer. And such prayers! Rich, tender, varied, they were full if instruction, of childlike confidence, and the pious breathings of an earnest soul.” To this day, those sprung from his loins—saintly women, faithful laymen, devoted preachers, editors, and college presidents—all keep up the holy tradition of The Family Alfar. “He comnfands his hotisehold after Him.” e Bishop E. M. Marvin's mother was “an energetic, conscientious woman. She had read much for that day, and had rules and system in her family. One of these was to read the Scriptures with her children on the Sabbath. Thefather died a Christian. The family government flowed from a good parenthood, and was aided by the spirit of peace which sat at the hearthstone.” . | “How distinctly he recalled the time when his mother held him in her lap, and looked down into his face as she sang her favorite hymn: “Alas! and did my Savior bleed? ” / . And as the mother sang the last stanze, “But drops of rief can ne'er repay The debt of love 1 owe: . ; ere, Lord, I give myself away,— ' . “Tis all that I can can do."” tears dropped from her eyes as she looked down upon the child in her lap and fell upon his fage. As the good bishop told us these things his voice trembled and,hiseyes filled, is if he still felt -his mother’s arms about him.” RECREATION CENTER | MANAGERS SELECTED Representatives of All Young Men's Church Organizations Are on.

A Thought for the Evening A VERSE AND A VIGNETTE By Dan G. Bickers CHRYSANTHEMUMS Because they have a thousand petals, each : ‘A tongue to tell my love, I send them—so As she shall bend above them, they in reach Of her low-listening ear may let her know An earnest of the story of my love for her— Go with your message and her mem’ry stir! Because they have a thousand petals, each An eager ear to catch her whispered pledge As she shall speak—her lips in ready reach— I send them—waiting-meantime on the edge Of keen expectancy. Bring me her promise true, The promise old and yet forever, always, new! Because they have a thousand petals, lips To touch her own, to gently sweep her cheek, To tremble with delight clean to the tips When she shall look upom them and shall speak. Go! Be for me both ears and lips! Oh, bliss— My heart goes with you for her sacred kiss! THE TWO : . Once a Man won a Maiden g ‘ Whose first name was Love And found that she was more than he expected, for Her middle name was Friendship . Girl Suggests School - JUSE Pig For Waste Lunch Some of the thrift suggcstions; contained in Jetters wheh were not read before the Woman's Clubh, ow ing to lack of time. are splendid and helpful, some of whish are o.fered herein ’ Miss Ruby Swanson, of Route 6, has observed children in country schools burning the remnants of their school lunches in the heater, and she: suggests a “School pig” as a thriit venture in lieu of burning this food. Mrs. C. D. Carroll “purchased Sea Island cloth on sale, dyed it a pretty pastel shade and re-covered frayed comforts.” She also, “dried figs and used them instead of raisins in fruit cake and brown bread,” and suggesis “a district nurse and welfare worker.” Mrs. S. G. Pryor Jr., says, “Never let a real bargain in cloth tempt you unless you really need it, for a bargain is not a bargain unless it is useful to you.” She says, also, that “To budget is to save, clse not only the pennies, but the dollars as well will take wings and fly from you,” _ Mrs. Frank James finds that dish cloths, sponges and chamois have gone up, and suggests the planting of the Luffa vine, or dishcloth gourd, in back yards, to be made into prepared rags for washing dishes, bath tubs, and for scrubbing automobiles. She says, “In California a woman sold one thousand of these to a garage com pany, thereby starting a business which netted her quite a sum of money each year.” When young and tender, it is said these gourds can be caten likes squash, and are sometimes called “California okra”, but this| voung housekeeper insists that they i;m- much more profitable when ma tured and made into “prepared rags.” Mrs. M. S. Smith writes a humor-. ’ous letter on “Pigeons and Peas,” and suggests that “better sidewalks in' our !lmmo sections would give our town the thrifty appearance that the down.- town section has,” for, as she says, | “the home seeker is likely to be more | impressed by the thrifty appearance }-,M' “where we live than where w 2 { buy.” There are many other good sugges | tions that bear testimony to the in | spiration iy thrift that the Woman's i”“h contest has given Fitzgerald. Mr, G. D. Bennett of Maxey and Mr. Julian Jones are the guests of the former’s son Mr. U. J. Bennett and family., Mrs. E. W. Walker and threc children left Friday evening for their home in Mobile Ala. after a delightful vist to Mrs. H. M. Wafren on South Mane Street. And Many Are The Voices Of Fitz-‘ gerald People. Thirty thousand voices—What a grand chorus. And that's the number of Amecrican men and women, who are publicly praising Doan’s Kidney Pills for rrl\yf from backache, kidn'c_\' and bladder ills. © They say it to frien ds. They tell it in the home papers. Fitzgerald people are in this chorus. Ask your neighbor, Heres a Fitzgerald case: S. C. Corroll, Carpenter, 412 W. Oconee St. says: “I can reccomend Doan’s Kidney Pills from experience, My kidneys were weak and acted ir regularly, at times too freely and then again, just the revrse, I felt dull and tired out.
