When cotton picking is

ton stalks to reduce the number
of boll weevils going into hiber-

HAT DOES your town need in the way of “serv¬
ices”— such as laundry and dry cleaner, bakery, shoe
repair, restaurant, etc.? Where do you — and others
in your community — go when you want your watch
repaired, shoes soled, clothes cleaned, other things?
Service shops provide jobs ami income, just as small
industries do! Service shops keep the money circu¬
lating in town, and everybody benefits . . . for when
folks can find there the things they want to buy,
they won’t go to the big cities to do their chopping.
So check over your community — see if it has suf¬
ficient local shops for its sb:e and needs — help and
encourage ambitious young men or women to start in
businesses that will benefit the whole community (and
themselves!)
We have a new booklet which might he helpful
to you. It’s called, “Georgia’s Parade of Progress . . .
through Community Development.” Send lor a copy.

Lolly if you don’t quit going

wearing.” “Yes, I think the

of millions of examples. So
for that.
Much is being said and lots is
done about Governor

The Governor’s opposition
had a lot to say against the
of the Island, which
to the time of the purchase
owned by a bunch of milion-

swanky resort.
The State maintains a number
State Parks. Anybody in
can visit these
with their families, spend
much time as they care to at
very nominal cost. Jekyll Is¬
will be operated on the
basis- There are count¬
thousands of Georgians, par¬
those from the rural
who have never as much
seen the “mighty deep Atlan¬
Ocean.” The Island being
by Georgia, gives these
an opportunity to visit
beach and enjoy themselves
as at one of the other State
and at a cost that they
afford to pay. For this and
reasons I think the invest¬
is wise. I think our State
own this Island in order
it to be available for the
of the people- I be¬
the majority of Georgians
the same.

ORDS go buzzing around in
Ollie Reeves' head until two or more
that sound alike strike up a speaking
acquaintance. Then Ollie Reeves sits
down and writes a poem. For him, it's
easy. He just naturally has a knack
for rhyming words, as you quickly note
when you read his "Rhyme A Day" io
The Constitution.
Poet laureate of Georgia, Otlie ReevOS
generally writes with a touch light a*
a blown kiss but then sometimes his
words sit down on you like "Tj 5 a boiling-
mad bumble bee. ■ .
He likes to "kid" in verse, and nofffmg
suits his fancy better than to pick
some oddity in the news and poke a
little poetic fun at it.
So, you see, there's many a smife dt
breakfast over Ollie Reeves' rhymes*,
