THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS,
TAKE OVER CREMATORY NOW-LIFE WORTH MORE THAN DOLLARS
There ought not to be, THERE MUST NOT BE, any delay in getting the new crematory
plant to work. There ought not to be, THERE MUST NOT BE, ANY DELAY caused by the
splitting of hairs by pestiferous politicians, no matter what office they may hold, in arranging
quickly, honestly and efficiently the taking over of the plant.
It is worse than idle to talk about unimportant phases of the crematory controversy now, or
whether the sum to be paid shall be put into the June sheet, or handled in some other way.
Atlanta is a rich city. There is plenty of money for use to safeguard the health of its citi
zens. When this money is spent, and how it is s pent, so long as it is spent honestly, is a matter
of which the taxpayers care nothing.
Quarrels of politicians must not be allowed to imperil the health of the city. Every possi
ble safeguard must be extended for keeping and preserving the health of the men, women and
children who have made the city of Atlanta great and powerful.
The death of ONE LITTLE CHILD, because of neglect, because of the insanitary
conditions of our city, is too high a price to pay while politicians quarrel and discuss this, that or
the other method of making the city absolutely healthy.
Any half-dozen of the hundreds of men who have made Atlanta great and powerful are able
to handle the financial problem of the purchase of the crematory in a business-like and legal way
after a half hour’s discussion of the subject,
The Georgian believes that it voices the sentiment of THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY when
it says that the time has come to put an end to trivialities in this most important matter.
Human lives can not be reckoned in dollars. The city that fails to protect the lives and
health of its inhabitants is not worthy of a place on the map.
And if quarrelsome politicians insist on standing in the way of this most necessary safe
guarding of public health, then they must be kicked out of the way. Get the crematory NOW—
AT ONCE!
We ask every reader of The Georgian to write letters to their councilmen and to public of
ficials, urging quick action along the lines above suggested.

The beautiful pageant to be pre- I
sented this afternoon by the patriotic I
Habersham Chapter might well be |
called that, from the number of
prominent people taking part and the j
variety of entertainments furnished,
partakes of the nature of a three- I
ring circus. * Here is the program:
Baby show. 3 o’clock.
Parade of pageant, 4 o’clock.
Tableaux. 4:30 o'clock—(1) “Old |
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” Mrs j
H. L. DeGlve and 60 children; (2) ’
“Mistress Mary and Her Garden of j
Flowers,” sixteen young ladies; (3)
“Blue Beard and His Wives;” (4) j
“Pied Piper of Hamlin;” (5) “Famil
iar Friends from Mother Goose.”
Fancy dances by the following: j
“Little Bo-Peep,” Miss Andrews; |
“Highland Fling.” Miss Wilkins; J
“Mexican Dance,” Miss Summerall.
Solos by Misses Kathleen Tucker.
Martha Hale, Dorothy Watson.
Duet tambourine dance by Misses j
Andrews and Summerall.
Solo by Miss Anne Grant.
Dance of the fairies and crowning
of the qneen.
Miss Gladys Hanson, of the baby
show committee, will then announce
the awards of the judges and present
the prizes to the victors.
Refreshments will he on sa-le and
the band will play throughout the
afternoon.
Twenty-five cents is the entry for I
the baby show. There are eight
prizes, the handsomest ever offered in
the city, for children from 4 years to
3 months. This will be held on the
lawn of Dr. Campbell.
The pageant will be on the lawn of
Mr. King. Twenty-five cents for
grown-ups and ten cents for children

dering will find comfortable seats.
Three hundred chairs have been
placed.
The pageant will start from the
lawn of Mr. Dobbs promptly at 4
o'clock, headed by the fine band of*
the Knights of Pythias. Mother Goose
will lead the parade. Speculation is j
rife as to the ldenity of this beloved j
and celebrated character, but beyond
the fact that she is one of the most j
prominent women in Atlanta and one
of the most beloved, it is all guess
work.
One of the attractive features of J
the parade will be a number of beau- j
ilful ponies which have been kindly :
loaned, and a fierce and untamed j
zebra.
General dancing will close the fes- 1
tivities. 1
