FAMILY FACES
DEATHFROMFLU
Seven of Family of Nine in Bed
With Malady. Without Food,
Clothing and Fuel, Family
Near Death When Found
V/ith seven members of a family
of nine lying in bed in one room,
food and nourishment exhausted,
clothing and bedding inadequate to
keep of fthe cold, and the fuel sup
ply gone, the Red Cross Charity
Committee Wednesday morning rush
ed to their aid in an effort to
the lives of some of them who ’
critically ill and facing death.
The family living near the city
was found by Dr. iia’l Tuesday night
and without waiting for aid from the
charity board of the Red Cross se
cured clothing and food to help in
restoring the people to health. The
Red Cross c« mmittee made a visit
there Wednesday with a full rupply
of soups, oranges, flour and other
foods needed for the sick diet. They
carried und.-rwear and bed clothing
and fuel so that the people could be
made comfortable and the disease
could be fought off.
The case reported Wednesday was
the e?cond within a few weeks where
the entire family was stricken and
were without the absolute necessities
of life. Facing starvation and death
they made the*.- appeal and the need
of the charity organization came to
the forefront and aid was quickly,
given.
It is believed the aid reached the
home in time to briug relief and
possibly assure the recovery of the
seven stricken people.

Now Information Pamphlet,
of College Very Good
The increased demand for infor
mation concerning the Georgia State

to publish a new buiictir. of informa
tion, condensing .he matter and giv

college offers.
The following are potent facts re
lative to the college history and
standing:
founded in 1889, following upon
the establishment of the Georgia
Technological School for Men, this
Institution was the first Collgee for
Women supported by the State of
Georgia.
This was the first Normal School
in Georgia, and the first to offer n
modern professional training for
teachers.
This was hte first Institution in the
i South (in 1906)'to place Home Eco-
, nomics on a par with the other de-
j partmenta and to offer diplomas for
i supecinlization in the home sciences
J and arts.
! This Institution was among the
firet in the country to place great
emphasis upon Health Education, and
to maintain a fully organized depart
ment for the study of that subject.
The College is a member of the fol
lowing associations:
1. Association of Georgia Col
leges,
2. American Association of
Teachers Colleges (Class A).
3. Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools of the Southern
States.
There arc fifteen magnificent
buildings, characterized by unusual
architectural beauty. The dormi
tories are modern, most of them hav
ing connecting bath for every room.
The Auditorium is a masterpiece. The
College is one of the most beautiful
in the South.
Since October, 1927, two new
building have been erec.ed.
The Parks Memorial Hospital is a
fireproof structure throughout and
will accomodate about fifty patients.
An attractive new dormitory was
ready for occupancy lan fall. It is
modern in it* appointments and all
rooms have connecting baths. It
will accommodate three hundred and
forty students.
The management of the College
ha* been unusually economical, with
unsurpassed saving to the students,
the parents and the State. For the
money expended, the College has
been rendering practically double the
sen-ice ordinarily rendered.
