The hunt is not for a band of desperate criminals, but for the several hundred elusive characters lisited in Emory’s Alumni Office as “Lost, no trace.” That hunt has brought to light some interest ing figures on Emory men in Houston county. Chess Abernathy, Jr., Emory Alumni Director, said an inten tensive search has been institut ed to locate and contact every living alumnus of the university. He pointed out that more than 3,500 Emory men served in the various branches of the armed forces and many more were in war work. That meant thous ands of address changes yearly. Abernathy said preliminary survey figures revealed that there are 18 Emory alumni in Houston county. Alumni listed are: Warren B. Hodge, Elko; Robert He n r y Brown, Jr., and E.H. Wimberly, Grovania; Lt. (jg) A. M. (Phil) Anderson, Dr. H, P. Dobbins, Louis H. Gilbert, F. M. Houser. Robert H. McCutcheson, Lt. (jg) Andrew S. Marshall, Dr. Allen M. Martin, G. Francis Nunn, Lee M. Paul, T. C. Rogers. Dr. R. P. Shepard, Rev. J.B. Smith, and Wendell K. Whipple, Perry, Rev. Roy C. Sampley and H. H. Fitzpatrick, Jr,. Warner Robins. Abernathy made an urgent re quest to Houston county resi dents for correction of any er rors in the above list. Hired Hands Farmers put a money value on skill and experience and a “settled down” attitude toward the job in the men they hire, the agricultural extension service reports. Men in the age group from 35 to 44 aver aged the highest hourly earnings of any group, according to a recent ■urvey« _ f/j M B Complete 60-Page T ractor Guide 'gj Want to make your It has complete, large-scale lubrication dia cmmt * rac * or Hst longer ... get grams, detailed lubrication charts. ™;; o " U ' ? 0 ' ““ fuel yOU You should have a copy of Gulf.
