Newspaper Page TextHOUSTON HOME JOURNAL Published Weekly at Perry, Ga, JOHN L. HODGES, Publisher. RUBY C. HODGES. Editor. Official Organ of Houston County and City of Perry. Subscription, $1.50 per year. Entered at the Post Office in Perry, Ga.. as Mail Matter of Second Class. Houston county friends of Judge A. M. Anderson are grati fied over the fine race he made for Judge of the Macon Circuit. Houston county appreciates the large vote given Judge Ander son in the other three counties of the circuit and rejoices over the deserved victory of her na tive son. GEORGIA'S NEXT GOVERNOR Eugene Talmadge becomes the first former Governor of Georgia to be elected for a third term. He retired Jan. 12, 1937, after serving two terms as governor. We predict that Mr. Talmadge will make Georgia an even better governor than he did in the past. He has the ability and the ex perience needed for the task. Along with thousands of other Georgians, we pledge him our support in his efforts to give Georgia a businesslike govern ment. In commenting on the election, The Atlanta Journal had this to nay: “By an overwhelming majority of the popular as well as the county unit vote Eugene Tal madge is Georgia’s next Gover nor. The sweep of his victory is the measure of his opportunty and his obligation. “Unto whom soever much is given, of him shall be much required.” The people have given him, along with a great tribute, a great task—the task of redeem ing this State from misgovern ment and of setting its confused house in order. The wastes to be stopped, the abuses to be ended, the constructive reforms to be carried out will require all the ability Governor Talmadge possesses and all the co opera tion he can summon. His expo rience in two previous terms a; chief executive will stand him it: good stead. He knows well wha> needs to be done, and he has tin resoluteness to hew to the line, however the chips may fall, lit has also the inspiration of one of the largest expressions of popu lar confidence ever accorded a candidate for Governor in out commonwealth’s history.” A GREAT STATE As Georgians we should b< thankful for the blessings Provi deuce has bestowed upon out State. Let us be thankful foi the privilege of free opinion, free speech, free debate, and fret elections. Georgia is farming better to day than ever before. Georgia’s schools and colleges have conn forward tremendously in recent years. Georgia’s new industries are popping up all over the state. Georgia’s highway system equals any in the South. Georgia’s recreational advantages are un surpassed. All these we have, and more! In spite of politics, Georgia is a great stale. GEORGIANS PLAY Georgians played more this sum mer in their own backyard than they did last year. At least that is indicated in statistics made public by the State Parks De partment. Attendance at the state parks during July an d August shattered last summer’s record. One park alone showed an increase of 55 per cent. A total of 85,047 persons flock ed to the seven state parks in July and August for picnics, swimming, boating and a gener al good time, according to Eu gene Bothwell, acting director, who added; “1 think this is es pecially significant in view of the fact that this nation has been in a state of anxiety over the international situation.” Leading all others in attend ance was Indian Springs Park, where a total of 32,950 men, women and children visited the grounds during the two months, ibis compares with 21,315 for ICLASSIFIED ADS For Sale—All kinds dry wood.

A, DIVIDED INTO THREE The National Youth Adminis itration is an agency of the fed j era! government established to 'assist young people. Its activi ties are divided into three pro grams in order to provide the 'different types of assistance I needed by boys and girls who are in school as well as those who are out of school. (1) First is the high school work program, which provides I part-time employment to de serving high school students be | tween the ages of 16 and 24 in clusive. These youths earn from $3 to $6 each per month for ac tual work performed on socially useful projects. Selection and assignment of all young people Jon this program are handled di rectly by the high school princi pals ami superintendents, and application should be made to them. (2) The college work pro-j gram operates like the high; school program, except that stu dents earn from $lO to $2O per month. The college and univer sity presidents are directly in charge of this program. To be: assigned to these two programs,; youths must certify that they j cannot enter or remain in school properly without this assistance. I j There are no scholarships and ino loans on theN.Y.A. program. (3) The out-of-school work program gives employment to young people between the ages of 17 and 24 inclusive who are 'out of school, unemployed, and lin need of work experience. On i this phase of the N.Y.A.’s ac jtivities, boys and girls earn a | livelihood while they learn by doing in such fields as machine ; shop, wood shop, welding, auto land airplane mechanics, all I phases of homemaking for girls with one particular project fea turing the operation of power machinery, carpentry and cabi net work, bricklaying, plaster ing, painting, radio, ceramics, scientific farming, and similar occupational fields. 1 Part-time local projects are I operated throughout the state and seek to give the same prac tical expense as that given at : resident centers. Any young [people desirimr further informa tion on the N. Y, A.’s activities may contact Mr. Scott It. Will iams, Area Director at the Court House in Fort Valley, who visits Miss Sallie Frank Thompson’s office, every Monday afternoon at 2:30. While more youths are already certified than can be as signed to projects immediately' the Youth Administration keeps its rolls constantly open in order to make its facilities available to the most deserving boys and girls ' regardless of when they make I application.

Rarely has the erec tion of a new building been so 1 carefully planned. Almost con tinuously for the past three years 73 year-old Rich’s has en visioned and revised specifica tions for the increased space that has become constantly more re quisite. The expansion program con ! sists of a 6 story addition to the old plant built of the same Indi ana limestone, but executed en tirely in the modern manner with no windows and none of the ornamentation present on the original structure. The For syth Street facade has been radi cally altered, windows sealed with stone to present an entirely unadorned frontage. The Base i merit has a street level entrance and its own show windows.
