NUMBER 41
G. M. C. Closed Fifty-fourth
Year Tuesday, Graduating 56
The forty-fourth commencement of
the Georgia Military College which
passed into history Tuesday
marked with brilliant exercises and
brought to a close a mo* successful
year.
The Baccalaureate Sermon
The baccalaureate sermon wan de
livered Sunday morning before an
audience -hat filled the auditorium,
by Dr. Harvey W. Cox, President of
Emory University.
Proceeding the sermon a musical
number was rendered by the or
chestra under direction of Major
Godfrey Osterman; the audience
joined in singing the hymn, “Love
Divine All Love Excelling;” Col. Geo.
S. Roach read the scripture lesson
and offered the invocation; the choir
composed of Mrs. L. P. Longino, Mrs.
R. E. Long, Missei Hallie Smith and
Dorothy Banks, Major Ray and
Messrs. Olin Banks, Sidney L. Stem-
bridge and W. D. Veal, with Mrs.
M. M. Parks at the piano, gang
beautifully and inspiringly "I Wait
ed for The Lord,” and the “Hymn
of Love.”
Dr. Cox had as his subject “Man
The Creator”, which was based
the creation of man aa recorded in
the 27th verse of the 1st Chapter of
Genesis. He asked the question,
What is man that thou art mindful
of hrm? and answered with the state
ment. Man is a Creator. He then
compared the similarity and differ
ences between man and the animal.
Man creates; animal adopts; man
evaluates, animal responds; animal
accepts his world, and man creates hi*
world, good or bad. He discussed
these difference as he presented
them.
The speaker then took up the
different types of life a man could
lead:
it. Was the Unplanned Life.
There were two classes who lead this
life. The ignorant and uneducated.
The other was the idle rich. Both
were to be pitted; for they were
failures, and their lives counted for
nothing.
2nd. Was planned for Self. Sel
fish individulism resulted. Illustrat
ing he referred to the rich farmer,
who built larger barnes to store his
harvest and said to his .qoul eat,
drink and be merry; to the land
boom in Florida, and to the collapse
cn Wall Street. The price for this
selfishner-t is being paid now. There
has been created, power, speed and
automatic machine, accumulation of
great wealth, and b-jilded a great
political system, as a consequence we
are reaping overproduction, unem
ployment; fear, unrest and loss of
faith leisure time. We have learned
how to produce and accumulate
wealth, but do not know how to use
them. They have become our mas-
3rd. The Life Planned by the
Golden Rule. The Life following the
example of Christ who blessed the
world ond made it better for His
havng lived. The only true and suc
cessful life.
Dr. Cox delivered the sermon
fcrcefully and eloquently, and the
great truths be uttered made a deep
impression upon his hearers, who
listened attentively to every word he
uttered. It was a scholarly, learned
and spiritual discourse.

Placet Settiaf Beer After Satar-
day of Tkis Week.
The city council moved quickly to
stop the sale of beer within the city
limits Monday and issued an order
to police to raid all places selling
beer after Saturday of this week.
The various lunch rooms and soft
drink saloons selling beer were given
until Saturday to dispose of their
stock. The order was issued by Chair
man of Police E. C. Kidd and was
made by authority of the council.
The first interference of boor
sales came Friday at the Air Port
when police were ordered by a mem
ber of the council to close one of
the soft drink stands selling beer.
This was the first break between the
city and the beer sellers and the
order to end the sale of beer in the'
city came as a consequence of this
trouble.
Beer has been on sale here since
“outh Carolina legalized beer a few
•'-eks ago. Many places have openely
Id the 3.2 drink that became fam
ous almost over night The council
••■fused to take action to legalize or

HOSPITALPAY
CUT ORDERED
Board of Control Committee An
nounces 5 aid 10 Per Cent Pay
Cut. No Employees Cut Off.
The special committee of the
Beard of Control in session in
lanta last Thursday announced a pay
cut of 5 per cent for all employees
of the State Hospital receiving $50.
o rless and a ten per cent cut for
all employees receiving more than
this amount. ‘
The committee acted after they
had been given power to decide up
on economies at the institution and
after Gov. Talmadge had refused to
approve a budget of more than $76,-
000 monthly. Gov. Talmadge had
recommended and urged the pay
cut and also a reduction in the
number of employees at the hospital.
Col. Marion Allen and Mr. Arthur
Lucas, members of the special com
mittee, fought a salary reduction
and also a cut in the number of em
ployees. But in the face of the Gov
ernors threat to withhold money, the
salary reduction was necessary. The
committee did not reduce the num
ber of employees.
The committee deferred until a
later date the election of a stewart-
manager fer the hospital. This new
office wan created by the board at
a recent meeting.
Construction of three temporary
buildings to houre patients now
