CIRCULATE IN BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA. VOL. 53; NO. 7 2ND RURAL-URBAN CONFERENCE PROVES A LARGE SUCCESS RURAL WORKERS FROM OVER STATE ATTEND— PLAN TO RETURN NEXT YEAR. Fi'dm Lambdin Kay's melancholy ad dress on the latest war news. Miss Doro thy Dueas, Washington correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribtme, on today's news through to the closing addresses by W. L. Disterman and Judge Camille Kel- of the state were inspired to come home and work harder to change our land back to real prosperity through righteousness. Between Austria and Germany is a lit tle country called Liecttanstein, with a population of ten \thousand. Its largest item on the budget is for education. Even mountain homes have electricity furnish ed by the streams. Policemen are jani tors, practically unneeded in this coun try where crime is the unusual. What a contrast to our immensely wealthy country so full of foment o' powers seeking supremacy. Where every man. woman and child to the new-horn babe pays $lO a month for upkeep of crime. G-Man Listerman called on mothers of the land to return to the real self-care of their children —train the child from the high chair to save them from the electric chair. Judge Kelley told of finding 700 re form school boys fed macaroni, dry bread and water, and the need of great care of governors of our states in selecting men who run penal institutions. We live in so wealthy a country it costs more to convict a murderer than to educate a child. Country so rich, a city like Atlanta spends $2,600,000 for crime control—and where there are more divorces than mar riages ; no money for schools or teachers but free schools books bought with beer. A country where 700.000 young folks start on a criminal career yearly—-when a child plays hooky is a good indication of his criminal ending. The 4,600.000 criminals—many for eigners—are the enemy already deeply entrenched in our country. Every third home is touched by crime : every 22 sec onds. a crime is committed. We must, establish respect of law. Crime is on the upward trend —a youth problem—l 9 per cent, of the criminals of today are under 21. They must be made to know society is against them. Unless We do change today's trend, erime will destroy us. J. Edgar Hoover sent this message to all fathers and mothers. “If I had a boy I’d tell him the truth, teach him the truth, punish him when he lies. A liar is a weakling. All criminals are liars. Honest boys grow into fine citizens. A spoiled boy—a spoiled man. Every child should have some task. Don't send him to church—go with him." The lack of obedience and home train ing. Judge Kelley claims, is a base of crime wave —our entrenched enemy. She suggests a day of prayer in behalf of peace, love and brotherhood of man. which the conference passed in a resolu tion at the close of her talk. Play at Hanson May 6 A play, “Aaron Slick From Pumpkin (’rick,” will be given by the P.-T. A. Sat urday night. May 6, at Hanson school house. This is a play in three acts. A small admission will be charged, pro ceeds will be used for school purposes. Come and enjoy a good laugh. ‘Death on Holiday’ As Child Falls 40 Feet LEXINGTON.—Death took a holiday last week when a sheer fall of forty feet resulted in nothing more than a slight sprain in the shoulder for Jfeyear-old Anne Howard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grady Howard, of Lexington. The little girl had followed her father to the half story second floor of their home, where he was replacing some screens in win dows. Crawling on the sill of a window in which the screens had not been fas tened, it gave way as she leaned upon it and she fell out on the roof. From there she slid to and off the eave and tumbled to the ground forty feet below, landing ! on hard ground. A physician was sum moned by the frantic parents, but found after an x-ray examination that no bones were broken. Anne was up and about the next day with nothing more than a limp arm from a slight sprain. After only 100 years of extensive cul tivation we have either destroyed, seri ously damaged or threatened with de struction an area equal to all land from which we normally harvest crops.

Sunday, May 7, is Hospital day for 450,000 Georgia Baptists. It is urged that Baptists raise SIO,OOO for the hos pital on May 7. Every penny of this will be used for charity. This money is for suffering people and not for the hospital. Last year, the Georgia Baptist hospit al did $56,000 in charity for the people of Georgia. Physicians who practice in the hospital did as much by the donation of their services, making a total of over $103,000 of treatments which you Geor gia Baptists gave to the poor and needy in the name of the Great Physician thru this great Christian institution. Some of these cases are modern miracles of medi cal science. Last year the charity cases were di vided as follows: Atlanta, 25 per cent., and the rest of Georgia. 75 per cent. This charity work does not include free treat ment of Baptist ministers, who. by virtue of their calling, are entitled to free treat nient. There is no hospital in Georgia which does the volume of work of the Georgia Baptist hospital. It stands in the fore front of all the hospitals in the south in the quality of work done. Many of the delicate surgical operations are almost unbelievable. Mr. Barker, the manager maintains a splendid Christian atmos phere and it is an institution of which Georgia Baptists may well be proud and which every Baptist should support. Every Baptist in Chattooga county is invited, in the name of the Great Phy sician, to bring an offering for the hos pital on Sunday, May 7.

The Summerville News NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS IN GEORGIA SAYS GEORGIA FARMERS FAILING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES. \ ATLANTA. May 3 (GPS). —Georgia are failing to take advantage of their opportunities. Evidence of that fact is lieing presented in a series of ar ticles written by Lamar Q. Ball, of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Ball, in one of his articles, said in part: “In 1938, Georgia farmers paid scant attention to a $5,000,000 market set up at their doorsteps by Georgia taxpayers. A very small percentage of that heavy load of cash rolled into the pockets of the Georgia farmers, for whom it origi nally was intended. The greater percent age of that money was stuffed into the pockets of truck drivers, who hauled it out of the state tn jingle in the pockets of farmers in the other forty-seven states of the nation, farmers in Cuba and in Mexico. "A little more food than his own fam ily needed, grown on Georgia soil, would have given him that $5,000,000. The $5,- 000,000 market was ithe Georgia state farmers’ market, set up at 101 Piedmont avenue, S.E., as a convenient place where growers and buyers can meet, and ex change desirable United States cash for good, fresh fruits and vegetables. During the two years that this state farmers’ market has been in existence, for the benefit of the Georgia farmer, the buyers have been there in large numbers, well heeled with cash they are eager to swap for fresh Georgia produce. The Georgia farmer, and his produce, have been ab sent in large quantities. Farmers from other states have been reaping that har vest of cash." Best Record: A new record in fuel ef ficiency in freight service was estab lished by the railroads of the United States in 1938. when an average of 115 pounds of fuel was required to haul 1,000 tons of freight and equipment a distance of one mile. This was the best average ever attained by the railroads since the compilation of these records began in 1918. The 1938 average was a reducvfnn qf 33.1 per cent compared with 1920. when it was 172 pounds. It also was a reduction of two pounds compared with 1937, and a reduction of four pounds compared with 1936. The increase in efficiency of fuel use was noted both in freight and passenger service. Gist Os the News: Georgia should double her production of turkeys, says Prof. Frank E. Mitchell, of the poultry department of the University of Georgia. In a report to the state board of regents, he said Georgia fell far short in her part of the 25.000,000 turkeys raised in the United States last year . . . Dollar sales of 389 independent retail stores in Geor gia jumped 13.5 per cent, during March over the same month of 1938. April also showed a gain of 25 per cent, over Feb ruary’ of this year . . . Further reduc tions of from 20 to 25 per cent, in cas ualty insurance rates for certain classes of motorists in Georgia have been placed in effect. This followed a reduction last January of from $44 to S4O. Places For Noses.

He spoke from the text, "All things work together for good to them that love God.” He said in substance: "“Brethren, we can’t take one of Goii's dealings by itself. We got to put them all together. He don’t say His dealings work by themselves. He says dey work together for good. You hear dat brass band? Take all dem horns separate—-be mighty poor music. De high tenor horn makes shrill music by itself. It takes all de horns together to make de music. Dis experience is like de notes ob de big bass horn. Der’s no music here. But let us wait in faith till God brings in de other instruments, and den dere will be music. Dis is de bass horn ob death a solem sound. We will wait for thet horn of resurrection, for de horn of de ascension, for de angelie born.
