Presidential Ballots
Being Distributed
Here By The Digest
Individual ballots have been mailed
to voters of Summerville and nearby
communities in a new Literary Di
gest poll of over 10,000,000 persons
to ascertain who will be the next
president of the United States. The
votes should be distributed by the
post office locally within a few days,
according to advice received today
from the magazine’s publishers.
Georgia’s returns in this 1936 ref
erendum will be tallied as a unit so
they may be compared with the vot
ing in other states, it is announced.
The voting of the post-card ballots
is secret as no signature or other i
dentification is required and the re
turn postage is paid by magazine. To
guard against tampering and coun
terfeiting a specially manufetured
cardboard is used for printing the
ballot, according to the sponsors of
the poll, and all spurious votes can
be detected immediately and de
stroyed.
The ballot asks the voter’s choice
of the seven officially nominated
candidates and for whom he or she
voted in the 1932 election to reveal
the general drift from one party to
another.
This is announced as the fourth
quadrennial national presidential
poll conducted by the Literary Di
gest. The three previous polls have
forecast the presidential winner with
“uncanny accuracy.”
Ballots are reported being mailed
from the magazine’s headquarters in
New York at the rate of over 350,-
000 per day and will continue until
every section of the country has been
sent its proporationate share of the
total being mailed.
The forthcoming balloting will be
the twelfth national multi-million
vote poll conducted by the Literary
Digest besides several localized ref
erendums which included the 1933
mayoralty contest in New York City
and the 1934 gubernatorial election in
California,
Seven of the twelve polls were
held in advance of elections and each
of the seven forecast the official out
come with a small margin of error,
the magazine reports.
The Literary Digest states that
just prior to the 1932 election it pre
dicted Roosevelt would get 59.86 ner
cent, of the popular vote in his cam
paign against Hoover. The official
returns showed that the president re
ceived 59.14 per cent, of the Roose
velt-Hoover vote, revealing an error of
0.72 per cent, in the magazine fore
cast.
A staff of more than 2,000 addi
tenance, 2 mills.
Sand Mountain School District —
For maintenance, 5 mills.
Holland School District—None.

QUALITY IN COATS.
Since the coat is one of the most
expensive items in the wardrobe and
must stand wear in all kinds of
weather, usually for three or four
years, checking on quality points be
fore buying is a practice that careful
buyers wish to follow. Important
points to look for in buying a coat
are the cut, seams and pressing.
These relate to workmanship. Other
points are the fabric used, the lin
ing and the innerlining.
Each part of the coat should be cutj
with the grain of the material, ac
cording to this list, or it will soon get
out of shape.
Coats should be pressed with every
step in the making.
And good-quality coats have care
fully matched seams stitched with
firm thread in close, even stitches.
Armholes, seams and front edges j
are reinforced with narrow preshrunk
tape to prevent stretching and possi
ble tears. The front facing is tacked
back securely but invisibly to -the
inside of the coat to keep a straight
hanging front edge that will not roll.
Linings in good-qaulity are fitted
in and lining seams are matched and
tucked to corresponding seams in the
coat. Poor-quality coats have linings
made separately and put in the coat
all in one piece. Another point to
look for in the lining is a full-length
pleat all the way down the center of
the back This allows for “give” in
wearing and keeps the lining from
pulling. Further information is con
tained in Leaflet No. 117, Quality
Guides in Buying Women’s Cloth
Coats, published by the Bureau of
Home Economics of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.

CANNING CHICKEN
Late summer is the most conven
ient and economical time for canning
chicken because that is the usual
time for culling the flock. The plump
2-year old hens, no longer profitable
to keep, are ideal for canning. Their
meat has better flavor and texture
after processing than the more ten
der delicate meat of very young
chickens.
Chicken may be canned at home
in several different forms. Besides
plain canned chicken, j/hich may be
put up with or without the bone, the
homemaker may can such specialties
as chichen sandwich-spread, plain
chicken broth, and chicken-gumbo
soup. The chicken livers will make
excellent canned liver paste.
But chicken canned in any form j
needs processing under steam pres-!
sure for safety. Like other nonacid
foods, chicken requires a tempera
ture higher than boiling for steriliz
ing. So a pressure canner is listed
as the first sesential piece of equip
ment for chicken-canning. Chicken
may be canned either in plain tin
cans or glass jars in sizes up to a
quart. But chickn caenned in small
containers has better flavor and tex
ture because it does not have to have
such long processing. Because chicken
may turn dark in the can if it has
been prepared in sheet iron or cop-!
per utensils, authorities advise against!
using these two metals. Using stain
less-steel knives in preparing the
chicken is recommended. Chicken
darkens more easily than other
meats.
BABIES.
(T. P. Hursey, District Forester)
Every day you pass people on the
streets—big men, little men, tall men, !
short men. Did it ever occur to you
that every one of them had to be
babies before they could be as big as
they are as you see them?
Have you ever been along a road
and seen a beautiful stand of old
trees ? Did it occur to you that at one j
time they had to be tiny seedlings? j
Which can stand by a hot open I
fire the longer and not die, a man or
a baby ? Which would last the longer
in a fire, a great tree or a tiny seed
ling ?
Trees are valuable.
Which do you choose, forest fires
or trees ? j

“It is not enough that I gather
sticks to build me a fire, but I must
find me a friend to sit with me.”
I do not know who wrote that
statement, or who said it. It was
found on a scrap of paper by one
who gave it to me. Except for an in
cident, it would have been lost for
ever. So it is with many a fine
thought. It may be written and
thrown away to be devoured by the
elements, or it may be spoken but
no one heeds it.
Frances Havergal, traveling in
Europe, was one day in a pastor’s
study. On the wall was the picture
of Christ being crucified. She wrote
quickly on the back of an envelop
the words of the beautiful hymn, “I
Gave My Life For Thee.” She read it
over and decided it was no good and
threw it into the fire, but something
said to her to save it. She quickly
grabbed it from the coals, badly
scorched, but still legible.
You must share your fire. It isn’t
enough that you have a fine thought
but you must express it. It isn’t
enough that you express it, but you
must express it to somebody. You
must find somebody to sit down with
you in the glow and warmth of your
thoughts.
A.nd remember, howsoever little
your fire may be, if it warms you, it
will warm someone else too.
