INDIANS DEFEAT TRION;
LOSE TO ROME HIGH
SQUAWS LOSE TWO—REDS AND
BLUES LEAD IN INTERMU- t
RAL SPORTS.
i :
(By Holland Martin.)
In a heated battle on Summerville’s :
own court, on Tuesday night, Jan. 1
17, the Trion boys fell in defeat to j [
the tune of 29 to 31.
At the half, the Trion boys had an ; .
8-point lead over the Indians, but j 1
after a rousing “pep” talk by Coach \
Farmer, the Braves came out to get ( 1
revenge. With only two minutes to ;
play, the Trion boys had a 6-point; ,
lead, which looked pretty safe, but '
the Indians went on a rampage abou. j ‘
that time. Tallent shot a crip and j
McCollum tied the score with anoth
er crip shot. With only 45 seconds to !
play, Tallent shot a breath-taking ;
goal and the crowd almost went into
hysterics. The game ended before an
other score was made.
The girls lost a hard-fought battle
to the Trion girls, 24 to 33.
At the beginning of school, the
boys and girls were divided in four
teams each and contests were held
between these teams.
Captain R. B. Headrick’s Reds on
the boys’ teams leads in points by
winning in touch football, kickoff
and punting.
The Blues, of the girls’ teams, led
by Geraldine Hill won in dodge ball |
and basket ball.
Various clubs have been organized
in the schools and we are looking I
forward to some hot contests between !
these clubs. The Hi-Y club challenged
the Art club to a basket ball game
and the game was played Wednesday
at the Phy. Ed. period.
School Lunch. Project
Proving Beneficial
The Parent-Teacher association and
Lions club are sponsoring the proj-,
ect of serving hot lunches at the
Summerville schools. The WPA fur
nishes the help. Tuesday, Jan. 24,
137 were served. About 100 free
lunches were served to children whose
parents have been out of work.
Several persons swap necessary
commodities for lunches for their
children. Seven paid cash for lunches.
These facts show the importance
of all interested citizens in donating
or assisting in some way in promot
ing this worthy and beneficial cause, j
The teachers say that the children j
who needed these lunches most, are j
very different pupils since having
these nourishing meals.
If you haven’t already done your j
bit to promote this project, send a j
smiall donation tomorrow or soon to j
the home economics rooms o;r to Mrs.
Harry L. McGinnis, who supervises
these menus.
All donations that have been given
have certainly been appreciated and
have really helped wonderfully.

CRUSADE TO STAMP
OUT PARALYSIS NOW
IN FULL SWING
PROMINENT GEORGIANS ARE
ENDORSING DRIVE TO STAMP
OUT POLIO.
ATLANTA. Leading statesmen,
Jurists ana educators of Georgia have
rad. led tent..a the crusade to stamp
..... vhe dread menace of infantile
paralysis by wholeheartedly endorsing
the state-wide celeb: ation of the
president's birthday on Jan. 30.
This has become evident in Letters
being received by Gov. Rivers, who
is chairman of the state committee
in mis year's chive.
Ci - these venting the governor
was Charles S. Reid, newly appointed
chief justice of the supreme court,
who said:
“There is no more worthwhile
movement in which we can engage
ourselves than the cause of helping
little children. It is a movement that
should touch the hearts of every per
son in Georgia, and I am sure that,
again this year, the great state of
Georgia will lead the nation in its
contributions against infantile paral
ysis.”
He complimented the governor on
being selected to lead this drive that
is the inspiration for parties, dances
and varied types of entertainments
to be held in every county on Jan. 30.
United States Senator Richard B.
Russell wrote his regret at not being
able to more actively take part in the
plans that are going forward in the
state.
“We in Georgia,” he wrote, “have
a peculiar interest in this connec
tion, for it was after receiving treat
ment at Warm Springs that the
president envisioned this great drive
to eliminate the menace of poliomye
litis.
“I am sure that every citizen of
Georgia will want to have a part in
the undertaking, for Warm Springs
is certainly the capital of the forces
engaged in this campaign, and you
can count on my wholehearted co
operation in every way within my
power.”
The state board of education, head
ed by Dr. M. D. Collins, who is also
chairman of the school section of
the state committee, went on record
in a formal resolution endorsing the
drive. The resolution, in part, said:
“The state board of eduation unan
imously concurs in this constructive
endeavor, commends this humanitar
ian effort and wishes for its pre-emi
nent success, especially since 50 per
cent, of the funds raised in Georgia
will remain in this state ...”
“We offer eveiy encouragement to
the success of this wonderfully fine
movement which is going forward in
the interest of Georgia school chil
dren and Georgia people.”
Women Enlisting In
Paralysis Campaign
ATLANTA.—Women of Georgia, in
all walks of life, and representing
many varied organizations, have en
listed in the campaign against in
fantile paralysis, since, as mothers,
it is first of all their fight.
Headquarters in Atlanta are be
sieged with letters volunteering as
sistance in the drive, which comes to
a close with parties, dances, calebi-a
tions of all kinds on Jan. 30, the
president’s birthday.
The county chairmen are particu
larly grateful for the assistance of
all women workers, since theirs is
the kind of work, selling tickets to
parities and entertainments, souci
ing contributions, that is vitally
needed in the counties.
