Education is a wonderful improvement
when it takes.
Adults are people who forget that they
have been children.
Children know so much more than
their parents used to know.
Prejudice is a force that robs some peo
ple of the benefits of reasoning.
It is amazing how much people think
of the man who compliments them.
You can't have flowers in your garden
without some work; the same rule ap
plies to life itself.
Well, for one thing, the serious inter
national situation has taken our mind off
domestic difficulties.
There are Americans who believe that
the United States could whip the world
without any preparation for the battle.
An Item: “No News”
Last week the Yankee Clipper, seven
ty-four-passenger flying boat, completed
a round-trip trans-Atlantic flight to
Europe, bringing back to the United
States twenty-one men—the largest num
ber ever to span the ocean in a heavier
than-air machine.
The completion of the journey occas
ioned comparatively small headlines. Its
success was taken for granted and, con
sequently, there was no "news” in its
return.
Just another illustration that people
are becoming air-minded and that the age
of the air is at hand.
Trade At Home
It's about time for The News to re
mind the people of this section that lo
cal merchants deserve a chance to suppl;
their needs.
Whenever you have anything to buy
give local business houses an opportunity
to serve you. The future prosperity o'
all of us depends upon a willingness to
co-operate in the common good and one
way to do this is to patronize horn
concerns whenever possible.
We do not urge any person to pay ai
exorbitant price for goods. It is the bus
ness of sellers to meet competition. They
must do this if they expect to stay i
business. It is their obligation if they
desire local trade.
Peace Is Within
The peace and happiness of the aver
age citizen of Chattooga County- does not
depend upon the amount of money pos
sessed. the success of any organization or
the outcome of any great struggle abroad.
The contentment that makes for hu
man happiness is within the reach o'
every individual who is able to face life
with a philosophy that solves personal
problems. The acceptance of religious
tenets often provide the answer, whether
these religious beliefs are adopted as an
individual or a member of some religious
organization.
The capacity of the individual for self
control is the key to happiness and con
tentment It is a product that you cannot
buy. or receive as a gift. It is withi
reach of all hut is obtained by very few.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1939
SEEING ATLANTA
At 5:30 o’clock Saturday morning, Ap
ril 15,*Mrs. H. L. McGinnis’ home eco
nomics class —Dorothy Adams. Ann Can
trell. Grace Hill Cohen, Frankie Echols,
Kathryn Berry, Muriel Palmour, Vera
Bea Hemphill, Marjorie Kellett, Irene
Kellett. Jacqueline Kellett, Catherine
Johnson, Elizabeth Jackson, Nellie Smith,
| Margaret Gaines, Betty Jean Story,
j Frances Thomas, Mildred Pegg, Betty
I Hemphill, Dorothy Riley, Opal Pickle
and Louise Tripp, accompanied by Miss
Beatty, Mr. King, Charles Marks, Charles
McGinnis and Ellis Echols, as driver —
left on the school bus for an all-day
trip to Atlanta.
Arriving in Atlanta at 9 o’clock, we
first went to the capitol. The official
hostess. Mrs. Hogan, graciously received
us and guided us around the building.
We visited the governor’s office. (He
wasn't in, so we had to content ourselves
with just sitting in his chair.) The mu
seum was most interesting—especially
the wildlife and natural resources.
At the city hall we secured our tickets
to the cyclorama which contains the
greatest mural ever painted, "The Battle
of Atlanta.” The naturalness and effec
tiveness of the picture has been greatly
enhanced since the installment of the i;
direct lighting. Grank park also offered
for our interest beautiful flowers and the
zoo.
After a lunch of sandwiches and Coca-
Colas, the class visited the Atlanta Con
stitution. Here the photographers took
our picture, which appear in Monday’s
paper. We observed how the paper is
published daily and learned many inter
| esting facts concerning the printing of
a large paper.
As a climax to the day, we visited the
Fox theater and saw Priscilla Lane and
Jeffry Lynn in “Yes, My Darling
Daughter.”
The most enjoyable thing seemed to be
riding the elevators in the Henry Grady
hotel. Although two girls got sick in the
first elevator we rode, they recovered
enough to ride again in the Henry Grady
hotel and were able to talk to the boys.
All in all, we certainly’ enjoyed the
day except we lost four girls. (We be
lieve they got lost on purpose so a cer
tain sophomore boy could come to their
rescue.)
We appreciate the efforts of Mrs. Mc-
Ginnis to show Atlanta to us.
