(By Gilreath Press Spndicate.)
ATLANTA, Feb, 28. —Let's turn back
the time thirty-eight years. The place
was a log cabin up in ililie mountains of
Northwest Georgia. A young, unmarried
woman gathered about her a few poor
boys and girls of the section. She taught
them Bible stories and imiprewsed upon
tliem the importance of (cleanliness and
decency and kindliness. It was new to the
children, but they loved it. The young
woman’s Sunday school grew and site
started others, after which she opened
four-day schools in scattered country dis
tricts. That was ithint.y-e.ight years ago.
Today, Miss Martha Berry, the young
school mistress, is over 70 years old. The
school she started in a remote log cabin
now has an annual enrollment of more
than 1,200 and a waiting list of 5.000.
Now There are over 125 buildings on i
campus of 25,(XX) acres at Mounjt Berry,
near Rome. Ten thousand poor boys and
girls from California to Maine, and from
Brazil to New Guinea, have entered the
“Gate of Opportunity,” wljich Miss Berry
named the entrance pillars of her schools.
Notv they are honoring Miss Martha
Berry again for the wonderful work she
has done through 'the years. She is to re
ceive the second annual humanitarian
award given by the Variety -Clubs of
America, a citation for the “most out
standing achievements for human welfare
within the year 1939 and a 'silver plaque
of the intrinsic value of SI,OOO. The pres
entation will be made in person at the
annual meeting of the Variety cinibs in
Dallas, Tex., April 19. A deserving rec
ognition of a great Georgian.
STILL PARAMOUNT: ‘"Railroads
still constitute our main line of transpor
tation and, despite all highway and me
chanical improvements, freight trains re
main paramount as servants of business,”
declares the Tulsa (Okla.) World. "This
condition requires that railroads, govern
mental units and the customers of rail
roads get together on some equitable
schedule. Tire sooner this is done the bet
ter it will be for all parties.”

Your Social Security
Account No. Record
“Workers should give employers the
exact name and number as it appears on
their social security card,” declared Knox
Smartt, field office manager of the social
■security board at Rome. "This is neees
•ary,’” hie said, "in keeping their wage
ecord account with the social security
■ ward straight.” If your wages are re
ported by your employer by a name other
han that which airpears on your card, or
if there is a transposition of a number on
.he eaiid, or any other inaccuracy on the
part -of. your employer in reporting your
vages to the bureau of internal revenue
you may have some trouble in establish
ng your wage record account upon which
s based your monthly insurance pay
ments.
“if you have married since securing a
social security card and are now working
under your married name instead of the
name appearing on your social security
•ard, you should notify my office in the
West building, Rome, Ga., so that we may
make the necessary changes in our rec
ords,” he said. Many single girls have
made the mistake of getting new numbers
upon marriage. Under no circumstances
should this be done. The number original
ly assigned to you is assigned for life no
matter how many times you marry or
change your name, according to Mr.
Smartt.
Application forms for seteluring social
security account number cards may now
be secured from any employment service
agency or from any postmaster. All appli
cations for account numbers in this ter
ritory should be sent to the social securi
ty board at Rome, Ga., which serves the
counties of Bartow, Gordon, Chattooga.
Floyd, Polk, Haralson and Paulding.

ARNALL UPHOLDS
DEER INDUSTRY’S
‘CLEAN UP’DRIVE
RULES PROGRAM IN “PUBLIC IN
TEREST”—FOUR PLACES IN
SPALDING PADLOCKED.
ATLANTA. Feb. 27 (Special).—The
“clean up or elose up” program of the
Brewers and Beer Distributors Commit
tee of Georgia is legal and valid and “will
be beneficial to the public interest and the
welfare of our state,” Attorney-General
Ellis A. Arnall ruled Saturday in an opin
ion handed down at the request of T.
Grady Head, Georgia revenue commis
sioner. Mr. Arnall’s ruling came at the
climax of a week of activity which saw
four Spalding county retail beer outlets
padlocked, three of them on evidence ob
tained by investigators of the beer com
mittee and turned over to Solicitor-Gen
eral W. H. Connor, of the Griffin circuit,
by Judge John S. Wood, state director of
the eommi'ttiee.
“In my opinion,” said Mr. Arnall, “the
creation of the Brewers and Beer Dis
tributors Committee of Georgia for the
purpose of refusing to sell beer to flag
rant law violating outlets and ito ask for
revocation of license at such outlets, will
be beneficial to the public interest and
the welfare of our state.
“The aims of -the Brewers and Beer
Distributors Committee of Georgia ,to
combine for the purjiose of policing their
own industry and eliminate undesirable
elements within the industry, do not con
flict with Georgia laws and are legal and
valid.”
The Spalding county action, which was
based on charges of selling whisky ille
gally, and other counts, followed special
presentments by the grand jury condemn
ing the open operation of "hot spots” aft
er four high school students had been sus
pended for appearing aft school in an in
toxicated condition.
Immediately following issuance of the
padlock order, the Spalding county com
missioners revoked the beer licenses
which had been issued to three of the
places.
Judge Wood, who was joined in his ac
tion againsit the three outlets by Revenue
Commissioner Head and Guy D. Buice,
principal of the Spalding County High
school, reiterated today that he has no
quarrel with law-abiding retail outlets,
and that action will be taken only against
those operators who persist in breaking
the law.

ed direct from the farmer —at $35.21.
