UNCLE SAM ASKED TO ;
BOOST TRAVEL IN U. S.
BY VACATION PRIMER
; ■
Uncle Sam may yet ring the school
bell for a class in travel with the ■,
hundred million people of the United
States, or most of them, as prospec-1 <
five pupils studying the lesson: “Sell
ing America to Americans!”
The primer in “vacation geogra
phy” will be outlined at the conven
tion of the American Travel Develop
ment association, in St. Louis, Nov.
1-2, says Harry N. Burhans, presi
dent of the association and secretary
[ of the Denver Tourist bureau in send
ing out the call.
| Congress will be memorialized for
lan appropriation creating a travel |
i campaign fund, the nucleus of which
| may be $3,000,000, possibly $5,000,-
000, to encourage Americans in using
their own national parks, monuments
and forests; in fact, to urge them to
see all of the United States first.
Fully one hundred cities are expect
ed to be represented, through non
profit sharing organizations engaged
in travel development, such as tour
ist bureaus, chambers of commerce,
highway associations and other sour
ces that appropriate funds for natin
al advertising in travel.
The call for the American Travel
Development association meeting also
contains the names of Perry Williams
vice-president of the association and
secretary of the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce Association, and Chas-
F. Barfield, the association secre
tary and manager of the St. Louis
Convention and Publicity Bureau, oth
er recognized authorities in travel and
convention activities.
The association program also calls
for further cooperation with the rail
roads, tourist booking agencies and
other directors of rail travel, and the
standardization of automobile tourist
camps and provisions for adequate ho
el accommodations for traveling mo
torists.
Another important subject deals
with a proposed reciprocal arrange
ment for publicity of a legitimate
character between the association and
the national press, news wire service,
American Newspaper association,
Periodical Publishers’ association, Ag
ricultural Publishers’ association, and
others.
Speakers of national repute will be
heard in the two-day program.
In Memory of Brother Calloway
Whom the Lord took to Himself one
of those beautiful days in September,
1926.
He had been in feeble health for a
few years but was ever patient, kind
and considerate.
Son of a wealthy middle Georgia
planter, Rev. Jesse Calloway, who in
'the years preceding the Civil war, bad
I invested in a large body of land bear
Gordon Springs, in Whitfield county,
and built a handsome home which was
for many years the home of his older
brother, J. J. S. Calloway, a former ,
beloved pastor of Lafayette and Chat
tooga churches. ,
Mr. Calloway loved both section: of I
the state and made several changes of !
residence. Menlo was honored last by !
claiming his citizenship for a number !
of years, where he stood unswerving
ly for the right in all civic and church ;
questions. A pleasant distinction of ;
his was to relate the quaint stories of
his childhood. Many recall his sket- p
ches of unique characters which ap- p
peared in The News. They were full
of drolleries and delightful humor.
His was a beautiful Christian char
acter which won for him many friends
He had been a member of the Baptist
church for many years and was a ;
faithful attendant when able to go. [
He leaves behind a wife and 8 chil- '
dren, to mourn his loss, he being the I
first link taken in the family chain.
I have never known a more devoted
husband and father, his wife never !
seemed to look old or faded to his !
fond eyes as the years crept on, his
love for his family was indeed beauti
| ful.
Some sweet day the chain will be
an unbroken circle for all those have
[died as they lived in the faith and we I
[can say with John: “Blessed are the j
: dead, which die in the Lord” from <
[henceforth, yea sayeth the spirit that 4
they may rest from their labors and 1
'their works do follow them.
The funeral service was conducted
;by Brother Black, pastor of Menlo
Baptist church, in a very impressive
manner basing his remarks from the
beautiful 14th chapter of John
; Sweet, appropriate hymns were al
so sung by a quartette. In the floral
offering and attendance, many friends
’expressed profound sympathy for the
bereaved family.
: “As pilgrims we pass on our way
like the sun,
We enter the worn gate at birth;
Go out by the eve gate at death and
are done,
W’ith the course of our life on the
earth.
But the gates are not closed by the
goddess of night,
That sits at the end of the way,
They are shut out by the hand of an
ange] of light.
And He leads to the prefect day.
A FRIEND.

|| which Mothers

DR. W. B CALDWELL
AT THE AGE Os 83
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello,

it seemed cruel that so many consti
pated infants and children had to be
kept “stirred up” and half sick by tak
ing cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calo
m.l and nasty oils.
While he knew that constipation
was the cause of nearly all chil'lri iTe
little ills, he constantly advised
mothers to give only a harmless |;
tire which would help to establish
natural bowel ‘ refpilarity.”
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep-in
mothers have a regulating Jaxative
which they can depend upon whenever
a child is constipated, bilious, feverish
or Bick from a cold, indigestion or sour
promise made over their own signa
tures. They can not afford to jeopar-
Idiz? the worth of their names by sell
ing any but good goods of full meas
:ure and fair price.
| So, you can hank on this—Adver
tised goods must, he as advertised.
