DISCOVERING GEORGIA
You know something? We live in
a. beautiful state, I was riding along
the other day over hill and dale, a
round dark swamps and down grey
ribboned pavement ihat rolled up on
the car wheels as if they w-ra spools,
and I realized all over again that
Georgia is getting beautiful.
The old tired, eroded lands h ive
been planted with pines! the gullies
have been filled in and overspread
with green things; the unfertile fields
have been enriched with a >il-building
crops - - all quietly, quietly. And
many of the old half-fallen houses
have been replaced by neat little
bonnes. 1 am impressed by my state.
Now we need to work on the intan
gibles, replacing old dark prcdjudices
with the bright light of facts and
knowledge and education, and old, eld
hatreds with good will. For as Edman
«ays, ‘ ‘We are tenants of the earth
no less than the sharecropper” - and
■our time to do these things is not long.

Sailors take note! There’s more fun than work involved when
Syou swab a ship’s deck with the now type cellulose sponge mop which
absorbs up to twenty times its own weight in water And you’ll keep
the glamour-look when you wear a Sea N r n^h swim suit, shown above,
which is figure-flattering and as sirean • ied as the modern mop.
