Formerly you may have glanced only at the newspaper headlines.
Now, with the world at war, you arc delving deep into finer print for
the details, for fuller interpretation of a fust-changing scene. Keeping
the public informed is the newspapers’ year ’round job, hut in times
like these we appreciate and read them more.
He sure that you have good light for your reading. Give your eyes
good working conditions with good light light that is free from glare,
light that is uniform, light that is scientifically correct, in quality as
well as quantity. The kind of lighting, in short, that is provided by
the Now I. E. S. floor or table lamps—-especially designed for reading.

Electricity is now so cheap there is no reason for any home to he
without good lighting. In fact, 90,000 Georgia homes can add at least
one of the new I. E. S. Lamps without adding
one cent to their monthly electric hills. That is
instance! because of the “FREE ELECTRICITY” feature
V w** of the new electric rates. But even if you are al
ready using your “FREE ELECTRICITY,” the
current for an I. E. S. Lamp costs only about a
penny a day or less.
A Give a thought to your family's eyes—be sure
1 they get good treatment, for they can never be
B replaced. Ask about I. E. S. Lamps at our store,
«■ or buy them from any of our employes.

”c,c,c. HISTORY OUTLINED !
| B! COUNTY WELFARE DEPT.
i The Civilian Conservation
Corps was legally established by
'an Act of Congress approved
I June 28, 1937. Under the terms
;of this act, the Emergency Con
! servation Work program, origi
nally created by the Act of
March 31, 1933, was transferred
to the Civilian Conservation
Corps.
From April 5, 1933, until July
1, 1937, the Emergency Conser
vation Work program was popu
larly known as the Civilian Con
servation Corps. By the afore
mentioned Act of June 28, 1937, '
effective July 1 of the same year,
the popular name was officially
adopted as the legal designation
of the organization. The corps
has been a continuously function
ing organization, therefore, since
! April 5, 1933, when an Executive
order of the President gave ef
fect to the Act of March 31,1933.
The purpose of the corps is to
provide employment as well as
vocational training for youthful
citizens of the United States who
are unemployed and in need of
employment and to a limited ex
tent for War Veterans and In
dians through the performance
of usual public work in connec
tion with the conservation and
development of the natural re
sources of the United States, its
territories and insular posses
sions.
The County Welfare Depart
ment, under the supervision of
the State Selecting Agency, acts
as the local selecting agency for
CCC. It is the duty of the Wel
fare Department to:
i 1. Furnish information con
cerning the corps to those who
inquire and accept applications
for CCC enrollment continuously
throughout the year. i
2. Use appropriate means of
verifying the legal and adminis
trative eligibility of each appli
cant who is finally selected for
enrollment.
3. Exercise careful judg
ment as to the fitness and adapt
ability of applicants for camp
life in order to select only those
young men who are best able to
contribute to and profit by the
work and training program of
the corps,
4. Provide facilities for de
termining the validity of requests
for changes of allotment, offers
of employment, and other simi
lar services of enrollees currently
in the corps.
5. Maintain such records and
make such reports as prescribed
by the State Selecting Agency
and the office of the Director and
such additional records as may
be necessary for the effective ad
ministration of the local CCC
agency.
i T h e Civilian Conservation
Corps is not in any respect a
military project. The machinery
of the United States Army is
used to some extent because it
provides the most convenient
and effective method of adminis
tering certain phases of t h e
large program including the
quarterly enrollment of thous
ands of young men throughout
the country. A man does not
enlist in the army when he en
rolls, Ihe CCC enrollee remains
a civilian throughout his entire
term of service; he receives no
military instruction nor does he
become liable to military law.
During the fiscal year July 1.
1938 through June 30, 1939, 46
applications for CCC were re
ceived by the Welfare Depart
ment. Of this number, 23 were
enrolled in camp.
A total of $7,543.00 was re
ceived in this county during the
year through CCC allotments.

Welfare Director.
Glass ‘Wears Down’ Iron
In the grinding and polishing line
of a large plate glass plant, 350
tons of sand are used daily, rang
ing from coarse sand to powder al
most fine enough to be used for
brushing your teeth. A cast iron
grinding head, wearing 24 hours a
day on the plate glass surface, must
be replaced after six days.
First Pension Law
The first pension act enacted by
congress was passed March 18, 1818.
It granted officers $2O a month and
privates $8 a month during life,
provided they served nine months or
more in the Continental army or
navy, or to the end of the Revolu
tionary war and could prove the J
I need of money.
Oyster Filters Food
A young oyster feeds on micro- •

water an hour through its gills to
get its food. In two to five years it 1
