After all. you knew, it's the old spirit that wins games, not always the best looking ma- Batchelor is fully aware that he faces a difficult schedule this sea son. “It's a tough one. Plenty tough.

In desperation the local Commun ity Chest is turning to Sunday Movies to realize sufficient funds to carry on its work in the best inter cut cf the poor and needy of Mil- ledgeville and Baldwin county. Un fortunately sufficient funds are not at hand to meet a most pressing need. Hungry mouths are unfed; aged poor are left to suffer need; sick, old and young, without re sources, are left unattended, all be cause the Community at large does not seem to sense its responsibility in their regard. There arc those in the community, who have been gen erous in the support of this noble work; there are others, lacking an understanding of the need that exist, take an indifferent and sometimes a hostile attitude toward this truly Christ-like work. But this is no time for debate or for explanation. The need is too urgent. Something must be done. Time does not permit of a canvass of the city and if it did the coming year, with its needs, is ahead and nothing must be done to interfere with the Annual Can vass that is made each year by thp Community Chest in conjuncticn with the Annual Red Cross Roll Call. Suffering on the part of our poor and unfortunate is too evident to permit of a delay. Realizing that the need is impera tive the officials in charge of the Community Chest have reluctantly turned to the only means at hand that alters a sufficient revenue to carry on a work that a Christian Community cannot neglect. The Manager of the local theatre. Mr. F. D. Adams, has generously offer ed to run a nicture at his theatre, the Campus, cn Sundays for the benefit of the poor a*id the needy of the Community. No revenue will ac crue to the theatre, all going to the Community Chest to meet relief needs. Necessity forces an acceptance of Mr. Adam’s kind offer. The first cf these pictures will be run on Sep tember 8th. There will be three showings, none cf which will con flict with the hours nl Church Ser- SCHOOLS SEEK PWA PROJECTS ADoKcitiin Filed for $25,099 to Baild New School it Midway aad Other Improreaeatt.
