Hie United States Government in 1861 offered to General Robert E. Lee the greatest gift in her keeping. Commander in Chief of her Armies. General Lee loved his country and his flag. He had followed it almns* all his life. As cadet at West Point honor graduate and afterwards as Captain and Colonel. He answered, “my anna and what talents I have to VbtM*. my State.” Our country Is our father; But our Mother is the State. Each State has her flag and emblazoned upon it is the coat of arms of that state. Tell ing what that State holds in high est honor, what it is willing to live and die for. Beautiful and dignified is trie coat arms of Georgia; Worthy <£ the en and women who carved a State out of the wilderness. Three columns uphold the dome Constitution. There columns are in scribed wisdom, justice and mod eration. And wisdom is: the State of being ise. Knowledge applied to the best purposes and aims of life. Sagacity. Sapiency, Prudence, Discernment, Judgment Wisdom and Knowledge far from being one. Have oftimes no ' connection. Knowledge dwells in heads re plete with thoughts of other men: Wisdom, in minds attentive to their Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that she knows no more. And justice is the quality of be ing just. The practice of rendering to every man his due. Equity, right ness, rectitude, opposed to wrong and injury. "The pure and impar tial administration of justice is per haps the finest bond to secure a rightful submission of the people* and to engage their affections to government.” •And moderation is the state of being moderate, or of keeping a du« mean between extremes. Restraint, forbearance, temperance sobeiety, calmness, frugality. Let your mod eration be known to all men. Because of our love for Georgia, and because of our faith in this splendid body of teachers and stu dent. the Robert E. Lee Chapter.

Electric rates arc so low and service so good that Georgia homes use 54 per cent MORE electricity a year, on the average, than the average American home! There is the proof that Georgia agrees whole heartedly with the most modem idea in home-advancement: the home best equipped for* happy living is the home that is best equipped electrically. But Georgia isn't waiting for any Utopia to arrive; it has th:sc blessings in the Geor gia of today. And that's why Georgians know that everybody wins in the $10,000 Home Town Electrical Contest!
