Members of the Board of Trus
tees of G. M. C. were practically
awured today that the application
filed with the PWA for funds to
launch a broad Improvement pro
gram at the college would be ap
proved at an early date.
The funds will provide for an ad
dition to the G. M. C. barracks,
enlargement and Improvements at
the grammar school building, re
pairs and improvements to the Old
Capitol building and the erection
of an an auditorium-armory at the
college. The program is considered
by leaders as the most important
that has been undertaken here in
many years.
The college has shown growth
and expansion during the last two
years and the enrollment exceeds the
present accomodations. The expan
sion program is considered of serious
importance and the Board of Trus
tees are deeply interested in com
pleting the work as early as possible.
In discussing the program, the
school authorities, said the proposed
Improvements were of vital import
ance to every citizen in that it
broadens the educational opportuni
ties for the voung men of the county
ard will make possible the best
education obtainable for them and
for this reason alone it was import
ant to get the program completed.
In addition to this fact the authori
ties said it would be of great busi
ness advantage to the city and the
county in that the increased enroll
ment brought outside money into the
community and would be of benefit
to all trade in the county, from the
merchant in the city to the pro
ducers of food stuffs on the farm.
The PWA grant will provide 45
per cent of the monev. This will be
a direct grant from the government
and the school will have tc provide
fifty-five per cent c£ the money.
The Parent-Teachers Assoetatloti
Kiwanis Club. City Authorities and
civic leaders have approved this
program and pledged their support
in assisting in providing the needed
money to match the federal grant.
It Is understood that a campaign
will be launched to raise these
funds, what the course will be is not
known, but the trustees are laying
plans now to get the program launch
ed immediately on the approval of
the PWA of the grant to the college.
This program is of great import
ance and vitally effects every citi
zen in the county and the trustees
are asking the cooperation and ap
proval of all the people.

ON LOCAL MARKET
It was announced this week that

IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY
’•WELL,” she exclaimed with
a satisfied air, as" she surveyed a
neat pile of packages.
“I've found a dress I like, the
shoes I wanted, some other clever
little things. . .Now I’m going
home with money in my pccket.”
This happened the other day
in Milledgeville store. The custo
mer confessed she had spent most
tf the morning seeking the same
things in a nearby (and larger)
town. . .had failed to find a single
one. . .and had found prices un-i-
formly higher than Milledge
ville’s.
She then came to Milledgeville

ing Milledgeville merchandise
displayed In The Union-Recorder.
She will coqic back—though
she lives 15 miles away. And she
will tell her friends. . .
