'Winter’ Is Topic
Selected by Wise
Owl This Week
Wise Old Owl Asks Club Members
to Write Originol Poems
and Stories.
By THE SUNSHINE LADY.
Last night the Wise Old Owl was
telling me about a little girl whom
he knew several years ago. “She was
just 11 years old,” he said, “and she
was president of a club just like our
own Boys’ and Girls Sunshine club
of The Summerville News.
“This little girl’s name was Elea
nor. She wrote the prettiest stories
and poems, and they were printed in
a newspaper, just as we will print
good ones which our own club mem
bers write for us.”
The Wise Old Owl let me read
some of Eleanor’s composition*, and
I enjoyed them so much that I am
going to copy some of them here, so
our boy and girl friends can enjoy
them too, and perhaps write some
stories of their own for our "Sun
shine Club Corner.”
“Why I Like Winter.”
First, though, let me tell yon the
subject for this week.
Our weekly prize of 50 cents will be
given to the boy or girl, 12 years old
or under, from whom we receive the
best letter about “Why I Like Win
ter.” These letters must be in The
Summerville News office by Friday,
Jan. 8, 1937.
Here is a poem which Eleanor;
wrote and entitled:
M The
I’ve the sweetest
And I’ll tell no one but-you;
I’ve made a lovely garden
In the forest deep and cool.
It is in a little clearing
And I cleared it up myself,
It is made of spring-time wild flow-
ers
And of ferns that I found near.
By it runs a little brooklet
With some pretty waterfalls,
Teeny minnows swim up to me
And I throw them crumbs of bread.
Still it would be sort of lonesome
If the squirrels stayed away.
They chitjjer, chatter, 0h,... so . sweetly
TryingttoVeep me corfipany.
Oh, yes! The robins! They are jolly
Singing in the treetops high.
The air just echoes with their singing |
For same as me, they’re full of song.;
The ground is covered with the green I
moss
And the leaves that drop from trees.
But in my neat little garden
I cleared all the leaves away.
I hung a hammock in my garden
And I sit there by myself,
Happy that I have my garden
And my forest playmates dear.
Do you like my little secret?
Do you think it is worth while?
I do like my little secret
And I think that you do too.
Yes, that was written by an 11-
year-old girl. Can some of our Sun
shine club members do as well? Wei
want you to try. Or perhaps you
would rather write a story for our
“Sunshine Club Corner.” Here is one
of Eleanor’s which the Wise Old Owl
showed me:
A Fay’s Adventure.
Rosettia, a fay with beautiful
wings, stopped at the top of the rain
bow to look at the fairyland scenery.
Fragrant and lovely flower gardens
were strewn here and there, and
there were fir trees who stood up,
green and tall. Way, way over in the
distance she saw the queen’s castle,
made of the finest of diamonds.
A I must go and see the queen,” |
thought Rosettia. “I’ve promised her
a visit for three days.”
She danced down the rainbow and
tripped daintily along. Os course,'
she could fly, but she did not want
to. As she walked and sang she saw,
to her horror, a poor fairy with a
broken wing, caught in a spider web.
She flew to the fairy, and undid the
silky threads that so closely had
bound her to the web.
The poor little fairy had been
struggling hard to get free and when
she saw Rosettia she gave a cry of
delight.
“Oh, sister, you don’t know how
glad I am to see you, and my wing
hurts dreadfully.”
Rosettia smiled, put her arm
around her, and said, “Come, I will
help you fly to the Believe-in-Fairy
hospital and they will care for your
wing.”
So the two little fay sisters flew
gracefully away, vanishing in the
distance at the pink horizon.
Another Poem.
Here is another of Eleanor’s love
ly poems for you:
Spray on the Rocks.
I sat on the big grey rocks,
Watching the waves on the sea;
The spray was a mist of rainbows,
As it came right up to me.
-The shells and the weeds went past
. me.
The fish and the boats did, too;
So sit the spray on the
la a pleasant thing to de.

Georgia Crops For 1936 Show
Greatest Value Since 1930
-
Estimated total value of Georgia
crops for 1936 of $191,123,000 shows
about 13 per cent, increase over the
corresponding total for 1935 of $169,-
430,000. The, current figure is the
highest valuation for the state since
1930 and is an increase of about 185
per cent, over the year of 1932, the
low year of the depression. This fa
vorable showing is brought about by.
increased production of some crops
and better prices for all the main
crops
Os the cash crops, cotton leads in
total gains, with value of lint and
seed $83,975,000 compared with $72,-
667,000 in 1935, an increase of 15.6
per cent. Production was 2.9 per cent,
greater, the remainder of the in
crease being due to higher prices.
Tobacco follows with $17,700,000
against $13,033,C00 last year, a gain
of 36 per cent, from a 22 per cent,
larger crop. Peanuts, with a valua
tion of $14,774,000, show an increase
of 26 per cent, from a 22 per cent,
greater production. Peaches, while
producing a crop 2 per cent, smaller
than last season, accounts r for $6,- ■

in value. Value of $1,63»,000 for wa-

tespielons leads all crops in per
c sat age increase with 102 per cent.,
although productions falls 29 per
cefi. below 1935. Pecans follow with
$1^55,0C0, which is 81 per cent,
higher than estimated value of the
crop one year ago, due to 37 per
cent, greater production and higher
prices.
Most food and feed crop production
tyas below last season, decreases be
ing; noted for corn, sweet and Irish
potatoes, oats, rye, sorghum syrup,
sug&r cane syrup and velvet beans, i
Some of these decreases are attri
buted to the effects of the severe
drought prevailing from mid-A|pril
untjl well up into July over middle
and most of Northern Georgia and,
to a lesser extent in southwestern
territory. On the other hand, soy
beans, cowpeas and all hay show in
creased production, due partly to
crop land intended for corn and oth
er early crops being diverted to leg
umes after the drought was broken;
and; due also to provisions of the soil
conservation program. Values of the
foaij and feed crops do not show de-
corresponding to lowered
prwuction, some of them even run
nit® a slight increase.

Request for Clothes
For Three Children
I have had a request from a
mother for some clothes for her
children. She wants to start
them to school next week. There
is a litle girl 10 years old, a boy
8 and another boy 6. These chil
dren are all undersized.
If anyone in the county can
help me with this family, I wish
you would call me.
We have 900 children out of
school in this county for various
reasons, who should be learning
to become good citizens.
When we get a chance to help
change this alarming number,
let’s do so.

New Year
|1.50 A YEAR
State’s Quota Os
Warm Springs
Project SIOO,OOO
State Asked by President Roosevelt
To Set Example For Rest of Na
tion in Endowment Drive.
ATLANTA, Dec. 29.—Georgia has
been asked by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to set an example for the
remainder of the nation in originat
ing an endowment drive for the
Warm Springs Foundation.
Harrison Jones, vice-president of
the Coca-Cola company, has accepted
the chairmanship of the state com
mittee for this drive in which Geor
gia’s quota is set at SIOO,COO.
The Warm Springs Foundation
and its work is the thing nearest
and dearest to the president’s heart.
Within the space of a few years the
foundation has become national in
its scope and international in influ
j ence.
Infantile paralysis, so-called be
cause it seemed to strike mostly chil
dren, correctly is termed poliomyeli
tis. It is a threat to every city and
every community. It strikes children
and adults, regardless of age. No
parent can afford to overlook its
menace.
Not until the president organized
the Warm Springs Foundation was
the work of fighting this paralysis
made effective. In late years the
birthday balls held each year on Jan.
30 have supplied money to help car
ry on this work. The president feels
that when he retires from public life
there should be some assurance the
work would be carried on without
any handicap. An endowment in
which the entire nation participates
is the only method by which the work
may be perpetuated.
i The problem falls into two chief
divisions. One is the medical prob
lem, the other is one of research.
The medical problem involves
treatment, the development and use
of braces; use of pools in which the
Warm Springs’ temperatures have
been reproduced, the use and checks
i of serums, vaccines and nasal sprays
j etc.
The research department is prob
ably the most important as far as
the future is concerned. There, the
greatest minds of the research pro
fession are engaged in seeking the
cause of this disease which cripples
so completely and which is an ex
pensive and long illness.
Infantile paralysis was epidemic
in form a year ago in the Carolinas,
Virginia and the District of Colum
bia. It was in near epidemic forms in
other states and there were cases of
it in most of the states of the Union.
This past summer and fall saw the
epidemic form reach Alabama, Mis
! sissippi and spread into parts of
’ Georgia and other states.
Any community or city which has
' known the terror of this disease,
knows better than anyone else that
the work of fighting it and of finding
a preventitive and cure, must be car
ried on. It is a matter close to the
j heart of the president and also close
to the hearts of every mother and
father.
Once Georgia has raised its SIOO,-
000, the other forty-seven states will
be asked to raise their quotas.
Chairman Harrison Jones, in ac
cepting the task, said:
“This is a task in which we can
not afford to fail. No thinking man
can deny this problem of infantile
paralysis, of poliomyelitis, is one
' which must be solved. It strikes at
’ old and young alike. And the rest of
• the world looks to the Warm
Springs Foundation for the solution
of it. Every year doctors from Ger
many, France, Italy, England and
( other nations come to Georgia and
Warm Springs for the latest methods
of treatment and prevention. No
- Georgian can fail in this oppor
i tunity.”
It was announced also the birthday
balls for the president would be held
’ in every community on the evening
of Jan. 30. An effort will be made to
make them this year the most suc
cessful in the history of these cele
: brations. Money from these balls will
1 go to aid the fund but will supply,
of course, only a small part of it.
I The raising of Georgia’s SIOO,OOO
quota is a matter for all the people.
A state-wide committee is being
organized by Chairman Jones and
work will begin immediately.
