Conyers is Short on Satisfactory Husbands We hnve been favorably impi'i's-rd by Dorothy Dix that Conyers should i in] oirt a model husbnnd to temli n how to become ideal cnlcrtuinci's and to convince our wives that we arc per feet specimens of whnt thej ought to be thankful for, for according to Sis ter Hix. our tenth anniversary is the last tiling we Conyers husbands re member in connection with our ainbi tiotis youth. It seems that one of our wives was interviewed on blue Monday alter w< laid played golf all day Sunday which left a had impression on account ol static. Says she did not marry to get a meal ticket, but a companion in stead of which she got a stuffed shirt that grunts back at her •ccasionally just to leave the iinpri ssion that lie ain't unite dead yet. Another one of our wives claims to be of the ‘ Thrill,v Bubbly” kind that rci|iiires lots of eti thuslusm and excitement, but claims that about the time she works herself tip to feeling like n pink painted bal loon ut a picnic, hubby comes along and sticks a pin into her and all her laughing gas osenpes. Now I lint's bail very bad treatment and something should ougbter to be done about il But instead, it gets worse the more you interview. Our third wife says If I could change m\ husband, which I can’t, I would make him treat me as a woman and not ns a useful bouse hold convenience, something other than a gas range or vacuum cleaner, for as such lie seems to be satisfied ns I still Hold the job and have never been summoned to the divorce court. And she goes on to say. from the da.\ we were married, he lias never paid me a compliment or issued a supple mint to his state of affections. Terri hie, why can't a man keep on lining like lie did in youth. Anyway these three don't seem to be* bothered Mil'll about the children, if any. but here comes one with children, and be seems to lie having a hard time making hub by believe they at e just sis much ids'll ns her’n, for she says, "If lie would only recognize and remember I bat the ehildren are just as iiuu It his as mine" and lend a hand witli the perainlmlat ing, why he would lie lots easier on iny nerves as a husband. Now this looks bad for us. hut here eonie-. a ray of sunshine from the fifth wife (and one out of (“very five liavcnj lie. n mar ried ten years yet you know) and she says, suppose we did change them, who would want a perfect husband. The ‘Sidewalks’ of New York Supplanted The “sidewalks" of New York was nationalized by Governor Ylfred K Smith during his campaign last fall and we Democrats learned to rise and stand at attention through ball of our radio programs, but it is no longer the Democratic anthem now and we miss the exercise very much. However, the “Sidewalks" of Macon that was brought into great prominence lasi week by Yaraab Temple of the Mystic Shrine, and brought hack by Harry l„ White, entitled Tlie Only Thing Wet, was the “Sidewalks" of Macon, and we are learning to love the “wet joker" very much, hut can't rise to our feet like we could in a "dry radio" pro gram. Imperial Potentate Prank Jones, of Houston, Texas, was made to ft el per fectly at home by reason of Robinson's circus being turned loose up town, in the midst of which nil Texans glory. He grabbed an elephant by the rear tail and swung onto mount VeSsuvieus in one leap for .1 ride round about town on the "Sidewalks" on Macon, being accompanied by Potentate Tom Law of Atlanta. Y'araab Temple of Atlanta went to Macon in a train of special equipment, carrying with them a heavy of thirty five chorus girls—the latter is the why of the special equipment. We certain ly would like to lie 11 Shriuer. We lie long to some dozen or more secret or ders, but none of them use chorus, girls, which may account for them hav ing to summons the members to get enough present to elect officers. Rockdale-Lower DeKalb Merger < uiiyci l.itlionia Mil-dead, incorpor ated Into a Joint agricultural, indus trial and uiainifaelurliig unit is isissi- Me in reason of the proposed Pul toil - DcKulb merger now in the making. With Conyers, l.itlionia, Milstead and Kcdnii and adjacent territory going to make up anew Roekdiile count}, or a in w | icKalh counly. with anew gran ite (Mill house erected with l.itlionia grnnlt. we would have a community of unlimited power and possibilities. As 1 mutter of fact, Pulton county court bouse in Atlanta could not serve all of I icKalb county advantageously. Too many people for prompt and timely s: 1 vice and inconvenient distance, es- !ii-jally to tiii> e of lower DeKalb who would have to travel more than sixty miles a day in serving as jurors and witnesses in going to and from At lanta. whereas, the greatest distance from any point within the proposed Rockdale-Lower DeKalb merger would lie leu miles or less to the court house. Within the bounderles of tills pro posed merger, would lie one of the largest manufacturing establishments II litis section of Georgia and several if the larger industrial units of the date, whose pay rolls run into the thousands of dollars each week, with I In* lower section consisting of the greatest agricultural section in the soul It, w here it is not unusual, even under boll weevil conditions, to pro luce a bale or more of cotton to the acre and a hundred bushels of corn ,ier acre. Anew county so made up would immediately assume a leader ship that would lie a great factor in making Georgia a greater state and lids people a more prosperous peo ple. One county high school located at Lit hernia would serve as a nucleus ■ round which an ideal system of con solidated schools would evolve in the interest of belter and more economical ‘ducation. A system of paved and surfaced roads would immediately traverse tlie new county from all directions and bus increase the practical and eco nomical installation of an all inclu dve consolidated school system that •vi mi Id la* a head-liner attraction for new people and new capital invest im ids within these borders. Like it is, Conyers and l.itlionia are both en deavoring to maintain an uccerdited high school and neither lots anything in brag about in this respect. With one consolidated county high school and possibly a prep-unit added, along with a system of several consolidated grammar schools, why, you would no longer envy prosperous Ohio, where they even have hardwood floors for their chicken houses. Now come on Mr. and Mrs. Citizen, lliiuk over tHis seriously, and let's go Ihe I niton DeKalb merger one better, with a Kockdnle-Lower DeKalb mer ger of our own and keep our great pay •oils within our own borders.

ROCKDALE RECORD, CONYERS, GEORGIA did not have time to even tip his hat at tier —anyway, there was another Oldsinoldle there just as good which lie caught flat footed and brought to Conyers, along with a mule and wag on. Funny tiling how that mule was started off to Conyers without a driv er and he came right on into town. They drove along behind tin* wagon to see where the mule would take it. Charlie said it looked like he was go ing to turn in at our house once, pos sibly on uccount of hauling us stove wood at one time or another, anyway, lie didn’t turn in, but went on up town, turned around and started back for another load. All lie had on the wagon was what looked like our long lost lantern. The road was full of lick er ears that night, two others over taking them on Hie way lui.-k to Con yers. Jesse Peek took out after one for whom the mule turned out of the road to let pass, but cut back in to prevent Jesse’s pursuit —the other car turned around in a twelve foot road when lie saw t Hat Charlie and Jesse had all they could bundle at one time, and went hack from whence it came. Since that night, they have caught seven other stills, all north of our Mason and Dixon line. That’s where Mr. Hoover got most of his Rockdah vote.

Whitakers Store at Velta Robbed Tuesday It is hard to get away with a rob bery out in the country, much harder than right in the heart of Atlanta, where every other person you run into is either a policeman or street car con ductor. We read of a policeman down in New Orleans who happened to be near where he was needed once, but with that one exception, we’ve never heard of a policeman that didn’t have to be sent for when a man was shot or a bank was robbed. Going back to the country, how can you account for Velta discovering a burglar in the school house trying to unlock a safe or cash register that he had taken from Arthur Whitaker’s store around midnight. Well, Arthur found out he was being robbed before a dime was taken and bless your heart that burg lar Hit the darkness so fast you could hear him zoon when Arthur opened up his breech-loading shooter. Just to let Arthur know he heard him, the burglar shot several times with a tiny 48 colts pistol that reminded several guests of better days. Among those present to vouch for the size and speed of those bullets was none other than our own window girl, Sara McCollum, who happened to lie spending the night over there. Now Sara may live a long time, and we hope she does, and she may finally get married, and ditto, but she will never find things rougher than .Arthur and that burglar made it for her that night. | THE ttm(i AUTHORITY | h its ciA§st® p S I | 0 CHEATER BEATTY, LARGER BODIES WI.V I Coupes69s; Coupe (with ij I^H rumble seat) s72s;Sedan Hi BPITBUC APPROVAL AT NATION S AUTO SHOWS tStBSSSZSt S - - - RECORD SATES EVERYWHEREJ Winyf-o^nd“price" fi Bf.o. b.
