sident, Mrs. G. C. Tatum. Mrs.
G. Nethery led the prayer.
Two poems, both
“My Garden” written by Miss
Ola Stewart of Byrd’s Chapel
were read by Mrs. Roy McBryar.
These poems appear at the bot¬
tom cf this article.
It was reported that sufficient
funds were raised from the
“Come as you are” party, re¬
cently sponsored by the Club, to
pay for the deficit on the
shrubs of the Court house
plots.
Mrs. H. F. Allison presented
our guest speaker, Mrs. F. N.
Belk of Wildwood. Mrs. Belk, an
accredited flower show judge,
gave a most informative talk on
“Staging a Flower Show.” She

arrangements for us to see.
Immediately following
pregram a “White Elephant”
sale was held. The meeting was
turned over to the hostesses
who served delicious refresh-
ments. Sixteen members and two
visitors were present.
MY GARDEN (imaginative)
My garden Is a lovely place,
Where flowers grow with stately
grace—
They lift your soul from the
common thing,
And sweet communion with God
ithey bring,
m gentle rains and sunshine
glow,
The fragile flowers are made to
grow.
In winter’s snow and chilly
winds
The sturdy shrubs their beauty
lends.
And as I through my garden
walk
with sturdy shrubs and
blossoms talk,
My soul revive and spirits lift
To accept anew my garden’s
gift.
MY GARDEN (the real thinar)
My garden „ a weedy p , ace
Where vegetables grow (if they
can) my table to grace,
I dig and dig and hoe and hoe
But still the weeds grow mo’
and mo’,

State Superintendent
Of Schools Announces
Teacher’s Pay Raise
j Supt. of schools Roy W. Moore
j this weeTc received a letter from
Mr. M. D. ColFms, State Supt. of
Schools and copies of which were
sent to all local Superinten¬
dents. Mr. Collins says that the
state Board of Education in re¬
gular session began activation

Plan for Education by
of a State Salary Schedule for
teachers and made policies for|
school lotments transportation, of teachers and state voca- al-j
tional education. '
The new state teachers salary
schedule as set up has raises in
payai. a,eng the line. The salary
which the teachers get depends
upon the type of certificate they
held, that is how much educa¬
tion and experience they have
had. The highest pay bracket
is to the holder of a profes¬
sional certificate with five
years of college training. The
basic pay used to be $20.76 a year
and now will be $2700 with in¬
creases every three years. Salary
of a teacher with a professional
cretificate with four years of
college training used to be $1860
a year and now will be $2400
with salary raises every three
years. For a teacher with three
years college training the old
salary was $1740 a year and now
will be $1900 and for two years
of college training for a profes¬
sional certificate the salary went
from $1608 to $1700 a year. Sola-
_.t_. ries for r . . teachers . 1 ... with ... 'll. provisional .
certificates have also been
raised.
Teachers are allotted on the
average daily attendance of chil¬
dren in school. The allotment '..s
for one teacher to about every
25 to 27 students. A very mini¬
mum before a teacher is taken
away from a school during the
year is that an elementary
school teacher must have an
average daily attendance of not
less than 15 and a high school
teacher not less than 10 during
the school year.
Salary supplements to tea¬
chers and mileage remain about
the same under the new set up.
These are some of the improve¬
ments in the Georgia schools
which the 3 perdent Sales Tax
will be paying for.
Build Camp Fire
The Right Way To
Avoid Forestry Fires
Springtime, which means “go-

or they can let . carelessness .

A match or cigarette lightly

turn an acre of Dade county
forestland into a blackened
scene of desolation. A blazing
campfire left by a happy fa-

turn a coating of springtime
greenery into a picture of char-
red ruin. !
The list of persons who dur-
ing the past winter tried to
help keep down the annual
forest fire loss in Dade County !
is indeed gratifying. With the
coming of more pleasant wea-
ther, which in turn brings more
people into the outdoors and
woodlands, their efforts must
be doubled.
There’s a right way to build
a campfire as well as to put one
out. Scrape away all spot inflam-1 six

the middle and build your fire
there, keeping it small. Never
build a campfire against trees,
logs, or near brush. To extin-

soaking them with water. Turn
st’eks over, soaking both sides
anri the earth near the fire.
Feel embers with bare hands to
make sure the last spark is

The J. E. Fellows’ home on

able to save any furniture or

Mr. Fellows was the only one
in the house when their
