ties are constantly seeking ways to
expand the bedding space, and in
one instance, built a new building
from bricks in the old wall which
formerly surrounded the hospital

patients voluntarily. Many of them
ask for jobs to occupy them during !

The hospital even makes its own

The legislative appropriation* for

be only “chicken feed” if it had to
feed and clothe the town of Mil-

slightly less than that of the hos

Because much of the food and milk
consumed by the inmates is produc

have been able to reduce the cost
of meals to a little more than 14

farm in Sumter county.
Thirty acres of the farm planted

ready to harvest. These nuts, it
planned, will be milled at Gaine

mills prepared to extract the oil.
Another crop being produced
the farm is frogs. A large pond up
on the place was stocked with young
frogs imported from Louisiana, and
the por.d is now literally alive
young frags and tadpoles. Few of
these are ready for market but the
owners of the farm expect to
many of the frogs to restauranl

the only commercial frog venture

first thought that came into his mind
'•"hen ho reached the city was that
it was the old home of his former

living here, and whpre he could lol

way to Mr. Whitfield’s office at the
Whitfield Grocery Co. and the meet-

talked about times spent in the
Capital of the nation, and recalled
many instances of those days.

That you should put your faith
in the future of your city.
It costs nothing to be loyal to the
home city.
Every citizen should boost the
home city and help steer the ship
that carries them
A poor booster doesn’t wait; he
hunts opportunities to boost.
A real bosoter is cordial and hu-
nn: he boosts his city because he
takes pleasure in doing it.
A real Looster does not sit on the
side lines; he gets in the game and
does his full share to bring progress
and prosperity to the same city.
He is not a hot-air merchant or
a buck-passer. .He is "Johnny on
the Spot" and Vilways willing to
work.
He radiates a spirit of "We

President Roosevelt Says:
“The primary responsibility for community needs rests
upon the community itself”
The Federal Government does not and will not assume the very
necessary relief and other work which is, what is termed our own
local responsibility. The burden upon the organizations form
ing the Milledgeville Community Chest is greater by far than
ever in the past. The work must be carried on and the people
of Milledgeville are being asked to SACRIFICE if neessary that
the budget of §5,000.00 may be raised.
