a call is asked to call at least
four persons. In this way, thou
sands of homes fan be contacted.
If you do not receive a telephone

July Holiday.
The churches have been asked
to make announcements of this
Safety Campaign.
Vacation Bible School
Is Very Successful
Vacation Bible School at the
First Baptist Church of Forest
Park, under the direction of the
pastor, Rev. Hoyt G. Garr, was
considered a big success which
began Saturday, June 4 and con
tinued for two weeks. Commence-,
ment services were held Friday
night, June 17, and diplomas
were presented to those -who had
perfect attendance for the two
weeks school.
Owners and employees of vari
which began on Saturday get
underway when 163 boys and
girls came for enrollment, a pa
rade and refreshments. The
school officially opened Monday,
June 6 with 172 boys and, 133
girls and 85 faculty members
present. At the close of the
school, June 17th, there was a
total of 532 boys and girls en
rolled and 94 faculty members. A
word of praise must be given
these diligent, steadfast workers.
A great deal of preparation, pati
ence, and hard work went into
those two weeks.
Refreshments were served each
day to a total of 4,633 pupils.
The parents of these children
were proud, and rightly so, of the
handicraft displayed and pre
sented to the mothers and fath
ers as a result of part of their
two weeks’ activities. After the
commencement service, everyone
was invited to visit the different
class rooms where the projects by
each group were displayed on
work tables for inspection.
Among the many useful and at
tractive things made were waste -
baskets. They were made of
round gallon size oil cans and
covered with attractive wallpa
per designs. They were given to
the church to be used in the
Sunday School roojps. The chil
dren were proud to be a part of
contributing to the furnishings
for the.church.
Rev. Farr stated that this was
the largest in attendance and in
many ways the best school they
had had. He also expressed his
thanks to the many workers who
gave so freely of their time and
efforts who played such a big
part in making the school a suc
cess.

stop whenever passing through.

ATLANTA FEDERAL 1
SETS DIVIDEND
OF $1 MILLION
Directors of Atlanta Federal
Savings and Loan Association
declared at their last regular
meeting the Association’s 55th
consecutive semi-annual divi
dend. Payable June 30th, this
dividend amounts to more than
$1 million, according to an an
nouncement by W. O. Duvall,
president. This Is believed to be
the largest amount ever paid on
savings at mid-year by a Geor
gia financial institution.
Mr. DuVall said that with this
divident, earnings paid savers for
the past 12 months amount to
‘well over $2 million”—also be
lieved to be a new record. He
pointed out that the Associa
tion’s assets climbed from $67-
000,000 last year to more than
$82,000,000. “Growth in the first
six months of this year,” he said,
“exceeds that of the same per
iod last year.”
“The Association’s growth can
I be atributed to the general pros
perity in this area and to the
determination of the people in
the community to move ahead
financially.” Citing figures to
illustrate this, he pointed out
that of the 6,000 savings and
loan associations, Atlanta Fed
eral ranks 23rd, according to the
latest figures published.
’ In addition to Mr. DuVall, of
ficers include C. A. Adair, vice
1 president and secretary; W. L.
Blackett and E. H. Ginn, senior
1 vice presidents; A. C. Ayers, C.
B. Sandiford, Bill C. Wainwright
i and J. F. Clemmer, vice presi
dents: Annie Mae Warren, cash-
