UNION RECORDER, MILLEDCEVILLE. CA„ JUNE 14, l»M frank ciane says I The New C»l«e<*er | Attention has been called several times in this column to the efforts bo lus; made to have adopted a new oal- endar having 13 months of 23 days each. I ha? been .-•uggeried that America have the courage -o adopt this stand ard without waiting for Europe. If it shall be so, if the South America* and North American countries unite I -heir efort to change the cnlendnr I : t will be another indication that I American civilization has definitely I broken the bonds still further that I heretofore have tied them to the I older peoples of Europe. I We have got used to the old tys- I {. • jatever it is. We .acknowledge I it- drawbacks, but we know what I they are. We do not know what faculties an untried plan would in- ve. Most of us are familiar will the I proposal. It is to have 13 months of [ days .exactly 4 weeks in each month, making every week day occur- on a fixed monthly date and having every holiday occur on the tame I week day, making calendars unneces sary, having the date of the week indicate the day of the month, add ing an extra day to the year and in serting an extra month, the 13th, as a month called Sol between June and July, and adding a extra day every Leap Year to June. This seems to be a subject that could well be considered by the Lea gue of Nations, but it is now proposed that America lead the way without waiting for world consent. Mr. Cotsworth says that if. con servative Europe could discard the computations of hundreds of years and adopt the metric system of weights and measures it is not too much t‘» expect that advanced and PRESIDENT PELLY DISCUSSES SUMMER TRAVEL BY RAIL The manner in which the railroads cater to the summer traveler is dis cussed by President J. J. Policy of the Central of Georgia Railway in a statement published today. “During the warm months of sum mer more persons take advantage of the passenger service of the railroads than .at any other time” says ■ Mr. Pelly. “Tourists, summer vacation- commuters, comm.-rcial travel- and others use the . ail roads be st they offer the most convenient and comfortable way of trotting from place to place with maximum speed •and safety. The summer traveler recognizes that screened and electric ally cooled railroad pa .-enger cars afford protection from heat, dust, , storms and similar inconveni ence*; encountered when traveling by other means.” Mr. Pelley states that not only is railroad service convenient, combort- able and reliable but that reruccd rates make it possible for those of i the most moderate income to make summer trips. Among the rate concessions to the summer traveler, he lists the summer excursion fares effect from May 15 through Oc tober 31, circle tour fares permitting! the traveler to go over one route and return via another, and the combina tion rail and wntcr trips. Stop-over privileges a*, point* en route are per mitted or. the.* ? tickets. He also men tions Sunday and week-end excursion fare?, as well as the special excurs ions the railroad operates during the summer, for all of which even low er rates are made. / President Pelley stresses the at tractiveness and benefits of a trip. Summer, he declares, in ideal time for .an ocean voyage, the weather i» then generally fair and the sea smooth. As proof of the efficient America could discard antique calendar wholly unadopted to this modern age. safety of steamships he cites the fact that during its nearly eighty years of operation the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah has not had a passenger fatality, although in that time millions of passengers have been safely handled. In addition to being President of the Central of Georgia Railway, Mr Policy is president of the Ocean Steamship Company which operates a fleet of thoruoghly modern steamships with three sailings weekly from Savannah to both New York and Boston. Mr. Pelley urges the traveling pub lic to make free use of the services of Central of Georgia ticket agents and passenger representatives or of any officer or employe of the railroad who can aid them. He states: “The ticket agent’s service is not lraiited to selling a ticket or telling when the next train will leave, lie can tele graph ahead for sleeping car or steamship reservations. He can recommend best routes to travel, quote train schedules on sleeping cur lines of his own and connecting roads, or can aid in planning extend ed trips. He has, or can quickly ob tain, almost any information the traveler may need. He is at the com mand of the public.” TWO MILLEDCEVILLE YOUNG MEN RECEIVE DECREES AT GEORGIA TECH Atlanta, Ga., June 11.—George B.
