Closing exercises had been held earlier and graduating from the 7th grade was one student, Billy Hale Maxine Robinson, Imo Jean Clay, Nell Frances Parris, Mar¬ tha Jean Kelly, Kenneth Ro¬ berts, Tommy Lee Clay and Clif¬ ford Parris were all Honor Students. Much credit for this splendid record must be given to their teacher, Mrs. Lula D. Hurt. These children have been handicapped by not having regular school¬ ing, due to lack of teachers, and for her to come to a new community and to arouse the children's interest in an educa¬ tion and to prepare even one child for completion of gramm¬ ar school is quite an accomplish¬ ment for one school year. whether or not to eliminate the State Department's foreign re¬ lations cultural program. The Acworth High School Seniors also paid us a visit. They came up under the guidance of Mrs. W. M. Kirk, assisted by Mrs. A. W. Ehlert, Mrs. L. A. Winn and Rev. and Mrs. Stevens of the Acworth First Baptist Church. They seemed to enjoy every minute of their trip. We are always happy to have the school children and their chap¬ erones call on us for any aid we can give in making their visit to the Nation's Capital pleasant and entertaining. In addition to the two senior classes and their teachers, Dean Covington of Rome, Raymond L. Binhan of Acworth, C. W. Peek, Jr., of Cedartown and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Walton of Carters- ville came by to see us. With my old friend Walton, was Mrs. Robert C. Danis (Mrs. Walton's sister) now of Washington, but formerly of Cartersville. Joseph Taylor of Rome and Everett Spring called to see me in pass¬ ing through Washington. I am always happy to see Georgians in Washington, espec¬ ially those from the Seventh District.

Best Wishes To Graduates Last week Davis High and this week Dade High and all through¬ out the county the Grammar schools are having commence¬ ment exercises. That glorious, care free time when recognition is given for a task well done. Graduation time with all its air of festivity has its serious side and means something dif¬ ferent to each student. To some it means looking forward to a higher education, to others business careers and still others the lightening up of home cares from the shoulders of their par¬ ents. For the grammar school students it means one step com¬ pleted up the ladder of know¬ ledge. Whatever the next step may be the entire county offers these graduates their congratulations and their best wishes for the future. CHURCH SERVICES NEW SALEM CHURCH Rev.

Lookout Mountain Consolidated School 7th GRADE GRADUATES Franklin Baker Granville Baker Marvin Bradford Dewell Everett Gordon Forester Novella Gray Athene Holtzhower Winford Massey Jo Ann Massey George Matthews Buddy Moore Joyce Ann Moore Lacy Neal Imogene Schurch Rugy Smith Georgia Mae Whited The school faculty are: Mrs. Ruth Massey, Mrs. Frank Mas¬ sey, Mrs. Linn Holtzhower, and Miss Elizabeth Forester. The school term at the Look¬ out Mountain School will close May 30th at the C. C. Camp. Owing to lack of adequate fa¬ cilities, there will not be any program. The 7th grade will be given their diplomas by the principal, Mrs. Ruth Massey. The seventh grade went to Chickamauga Park on an all-day tour of sight-seeing. They had a wonderful and enjoyable trip. We hope to be able to go into the new school building by the time of the opening of the fall Lerm. Everyone is ready and billing to keep things going, as soon as we get a competent fore¬ man for the job. It will mean so much to the Mountain to be able to carry on in a well con¬ structed building, where teach¬ ers and pupils will have more conveniences, and the buses will have easier runs. All the children are and quick to learn, if we give them equal advantages with other children, they will some day make useful citizens we may well be proud of. Let's do our best to furnish our school build¬ ing, as the children do not stop growing while we wait for con¬ struction to start again on a modern school building. Every community needs a good church, a good school, and that community will grow and pros¬ per. Families now owning homes on Lookout Mountain are still living in the city, awaiting the power lines and better schools, as their children have better ad¬ vantages in the city schools. Let us all put our shouldres to the wheel and keep on until we, too, have all these things on our Mountain to enjoy.

Gates) According to reports, the Gov¬ ernment last week dumped more than Fifty Tons of Irish potatoes in a field near Foley, Ala., and poured kerosene over the pile to make them unfit for use. The Government was not satisfied with merely the destruction of this vast amount of food, for the want of which untold thousands of human beings in foreign coun¬ tries are starving, and many thousands at home are underfed and hungry, but the Government paid high-priced "checkers" to keep account of the amount, and pour kerosene over the heap to make sure no poor, hungry devil came along and salvaged a few of the spuds for himself and his underfed family. The kerosene also, of course, cost money. There are some things we are able to understand, but this idea of becoming well off by destroy¬ ing the fruits of our fields and the increase of our cattle, our swine, etc., are things beyond the ken of sane people. Time was, up to a few years ago, when peo¬ ple were considered best off who had most and owed least. Then came along the idea that if we have too many cattle and swine, shoot 'em, regardless of the cost of the ammunition: if we see we are going to make too much cot¬ ton and other crops, plow the darned stuff up—to heck with the expense!—you, me, or the Government. If all this costs a lot of money, just borrow money and pay for it; then borrow mon¬ ey to pay back what you borrow¬ ed, then borrow money to—we do not know where it was sup¬ posed to end, but the idea seem¬ ed to be that if you borrow enough, often enough, and keep it up long enough you'll finally borrow yourself rich—you, me, or the Government. But in real life (not the Abun¬ dant) this doesn't seem to work out that way. A few years ago we borrowed $50 from Uncle Sam as a Feed and Seed loan. By the time it was repaid it had cost us around $100. We repaid the loan without borrowing, and maybe that's where we lost the magic charm! Our good old Uncle Sam has spent more money in the last 15 or 20 years for governmental ex¬ penses than he did in all the 150 years before; he's borrowed a plenty, too; but the last word we had from Washington was to the effect that every time he bor¬ rows a billion we are at least a billion deeper in the red. Doesn't look like getting rich fast! Of course we will be called ig¬ norant, old-fashioned, and per¬ haps plain crazy, to refer to what God Almighty has said along this line, but here is one quotation of His own words, re¬ corded in Malichi 3:10: "Bring ye all of the tithes into the store house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open unto you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT." Not a word about destroying any of it, even though the blessing was to be greater than there was room to receive! Read the whole chapter; read the whole Bible, if you please; read what our Lord and Master himself commanded after He had fed the multitude (St. John 6:12) "Gather up the fragments—that NOTHING BE LOST." LAST F. H. A. MEETING MAY 16 Because of school being out on May 30th, this was the last meet¬ ing of the Future Homemaker of American of the Home Econo¬ mics Club. Roslyn Dyer had our Devotion¬ al. We had a talk on "How to get a job" by Imma Dean Lacy. We sang "God Bless America" and "Smile." Mrs. Allison gave us a talk about our F. H. A. Camp. Merrill Stwert, Reporter. Loveliness.
