COUNTY TEACHERS’ MEETING
The meeting was called to order
by Supt. Dyer. The minutes were
read by the secretary, Mrs. Hyatt,
with good reports. Mr. Dyer then
introduced the speaker, Dr. J. C.
Rogers, president of North Georgia
college. Dr. Rogers spoke on the
need of reading and mathematics
in high schools. He also said that
many college students failed be
cause of the fact that they couldn’t
read the material. Mrs. Knox Wyatt
and Mr. Dyer expressed their ap
preciation to Dr. Rogers for his
talk. Mrs. McGinnis then invited
the teachers into the library where
they were served cookies and hot
tea. The home economics girls that
prepared and served the refresh
ments were Anita Divine, Bette and
Helen Dyer, ’Jeanette Echols, Ruth
Allen and Marion Sitton.

SEVENTH GRADE “A”
The Seventh Grade “A” takes
Current Events. We find it very in
teresting. We get to study about
different countries in war, and
things that happen every day. We
get to study more about things that
Uncle Sam gets, and things he
needs.
We always have a page about “A
Good American.” It is very inter
esting for us to study about it.
About once a month we have a
paper about “The American Way.”
It is very interesting for us to
study it.

SAVING
Saving is the most important
thing in any business. If there were
| more people willing to save, there
j would not be as many people hun
gry and ragged today.
In our class we have been taught
to save. Some of the things we
learned are these:
By getting our clothes and food
on sale if we will watch the papers,
we will see lots of advertisements
, offering positive savings of 25 per
cent, to 50 per cent, on all clothes.
The biggest, most important thing
is not to waste bread, vegetables
and other foods because you are
able to get more than are hundreds
of thousands of people in this
world or state that would be glad
to get only a piece of bread. If
money and all foods were collected,
all the hungry people of the world
could be fed.
Some people burn their electric
lights, use more wood and coal,
water and other appliances care
lessly which could be saved to help
people who need it most.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1941
THE STORY OF LEATHER
The skin of an animal is dressed
by a process called tanning. The
skins of the cow, ox, buffalo, ele
phant and other large, thick
skinned animals are called hides,
as distinguished from the skins of
calves, sheep, goats, dogs and fur
bearing animals. Kip leather is
produced from the hide of a half
grown animal. Green hides are
rubbed with salt to prevent puri
fication, or else they are dried be
fore they are sent to market. Both
green hides and dried hides may
be converted into glue by boiling.
So far as the art of tanning is con
cerned, all skins and hides consist
of three layers—the outer or epi
demis; inside fleshy, fatty layer,
and a third or intermediate layer
between the two, out of which lea
ther is made. The preparation of
leather consists of two entitrely dis
tinct processes. First, getting rid of
the hair and the flesh; second,
filling the central layer with cura
tive and preservative material.
Skins valued for their fur are, of
course, dressed and tanned from
the flesh side only. The skin are
next placed in cold storage. Next
they soak them in the unhairing
machine, and then the skins go
through the fleshing machines to
take the flesh off the skins. Then
they go through the lime paddles
and scudding machines, and then
they work the skins over beams to
get off the fine hairs and diet to
make finer colors.

THE BATTLE AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis is one of the world’s
dreaded diseases. Traces of its rav
ages have been found in ancient
Egyptian mummies, showing that
its trail of suffering and death ex
tends back for thousands of years.
In 1882, when the germ of tuber
culosis was discovered by Dr. Rob
ert Roch, of Germany, little head
way was made against this disease,
but now the death rate has been
cut in half. In spite of the gains
that have been made in its con
quest, tuberculosis is still a danger
ous menace to society.
The Nature of Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is a germ disease. It
may affect any organ of the body,
but parts frequently attacked are
the lungs, bones, and glands.
Every one at some time in life
has an attack of this germ. If you
have a strong body, you will over
come this germ.
Prevent the Spread of the Disease.
These germs are carried from
place to place in many ways.
Coughing and sneezing help to
spread this germ. The moisture of
the sputum evaporated; the germs
are scattered by dust in the air and
carried to others.
The patient with tuberculosis
should be very careful not to spread
the germ. The patient should oc
cupy a room alone, and keep it well
ventilated at all times. The room
should have all the sunshine pos
sible all the year around. You
should eat separately and drink
from separate glasses. They should
be washed separately and kept sep
arate from all other dishes.
The Cure of Tuberculosis.
The progress that has been made
in the battle against tuberculosis
has progressed some. This discov
ery is slow. It may be cured if dis
covered in time, and if the pre
scribed treatment is followed. Tu
berculosis can not be cured by
drugs and medicine. Rest, sunshine,
fresh air and proper food all com
bine to help the body in its fight
against the ravages of the germs.
Rest is one of the first require
ments of the cure. Proper food helps
to give the body the strength it
needs to carry out its fight against
the germs. A patient should not
worry and fear his case in hopeless.
Sc, let’s try to keep up the fight
against this dreadful germ.
Jean Igou,
Seventh Grade B.
STORY OF LEATHER
The story starts with the raw
material. The pelts of anmals, us
ually those killed for food, come to
the tanner in four different condi
tions. When they are fresh from
the animal, they are called green;
when salt is added to the fresh side
it is called green salted; when
rubbed with salt and dried they are
dry salted; when the drying has
been thorough as from stretching,
or they are divided according to
size into hides, hips and skins.
Hides are the pelts from large ani
mals like the pelts from
large animals like the steer, cow,
horse, camel, and walrus. These
give thick heavy leather for shoes
and all articles where stiffness and
strength are required. When split
they make shoe uppers, bags, case
straps and automobile leather.

BUFFALO BILL
William Frederick Cody (1846-
1917) was an American scout and
showman, best known as Buffalo
Bill. He was born in Scott county,
lowa. The family moved to the vi
cinity of Fort Leavenworth. Here,
while still a child, Cody was em
ployed by express companies to
carry packages across the country
on horseback He was hardly out
of boyhood when he was employed
as a government scout. He became
distinguished as a fearless rider, a J
keen and skillfull hunter, and an
expert plainsman. Cody won the
name of Buffalo Bill by contract
ing with the Kansas Pacific Rail
way company to supply its woods
men with buffalo meat. It was said
that he killed over four thousand
buffalo during one season. In 1883
he succeeded in organizing the
“wild west show,” a scheme he had
long cherished. He gathered a large
number of Indians and cowboys,
collected much valuable material
of which the famous “Deadwood
Coach” is perhaps the best exam
ple, and presented an exhibition of
every frontier life which became
known the world over. Cody was
the last of the six great scouts of
America. The others were Boone.

“THE MAN WITH A MACHINE
IN HIS HEAD”
Samuel Slater, an Englishman,
who was a mechanic, came to
America bringing “a machine in
his head.” This man was the first
to get the idea of a cotton mill in
America. The first mill was run at
Pawtucket, R. 1., by water. There
he began teaching others to build
the cotton mill. This was begun in
1790. This marked the beginning of
the cotton manufacturing system
in America. Slater trained other
men who built other mills under
his direction. Providence, R. 1., was
the center of the cotton mills. Oth
ers were made in Massachusetts.
Before many years Lowell, Law
rence, Springfield and Holyoke be
came other centers for this indus
try. Manchester, N. H., and Woon
socket, R. 1., also erected large tex
tile mills.
Twenty years after Slater con
structed his first mill in Rhode Is
land, there were over sixty mills
in New England, with more being
built. After using water it became
insufficient and coal and steam
were substituted. New England,
however, comes first in the produc
tion of the finer grades of cotton
goods.

VISITING A GOLD MINE
One day while visiting my cou
sin in North Carolina, he and I
went to a gold mine. The full length
of the mine was said to be a mile.
A solid rock tunnel extended into
Forge mountain.
We saw two distinct veins one
fourth inch thick about two feet
apart running with the rock lay
ers in the walls.
The rock containing the gold was
blasted out and crushed in a stamp
mill and washed in troughs of run
ning water. The troughs were made
of wood with little trenches across
the bottom. The gold, being hea
vier than the rocks and dirt lodged
in the trenches. It was then sack
ed and shipped to the smelter
where it is made into gold bricks
and shipped to Fort Knox, Ky., to
be locked up in the ground again.
Dan Hale.
“UNCLE SAM”
“Uncle Sam” is the nickname ap
plied to' the government of the
United States, as John Bull is to
Great Britain. It is probably a mere
lengthening out of the initials U.
S., though the following story is
told of its origin: During the War
of 1812 some one at Troy, N. Y., no
ticed boxes and barrels of supplies
marked U. S., and inquired the
meaning of the letters. He was told
that the goods had been inspected
by a local citizen named Lamuel
Wilson, who bore the nickname of
“Uncle Sam.” This origin of the
name is not vouched for, however.
Daniel White.
“WEAVING IN GEORGIA”
We have posters in our room now
showing the way to weave. The
people in these pictures are mak
ing thread by hand. It would look
strange to us if we had to weave
our own clothes because now we
have mills to make our thread and
clothes.
These people who are doing this
are just out from Atlanta, near
Betty’s Creek. At this house where
the pictures were taken there are
several people who have come to
weave. We don’t know whether they
have to do this or not. They have
two spinning wheels, a large one
and a small one. The large one is
for the women, and the small one
is for the children.
This shows how the bobbin goes
also. The women dye the cloth
when they get it made. Then they
begin to make their clothes.
They make beautiful designs on
their cloth.
They are turning out wool fab
rics, created entirely by hand. They
also produce silks and linen fab
rics, the silk being imported by
them in its natural state in the co
coons and woven by them into
their own quality of thread.
They say, “Our work is modern
and based upon nature.”
They now have a shop on New
York’s Madison avenue where they
are scarcely able to supply the de
mand.
They get their designs from
Greece, which are very beautiful
and they get a good price for their
rugs, blankets and clothes, especi
ally in big cities.

INSURANCE IS NOT
NECESSARY FOR PENSIONERS
ATLANTA, March 24.—“1t is not
necessary for an old-age pensioner
or any other recipient of assistance
from the state welfare department
to take out any insurance from
any salesman,” B. S. Miller, direc
tor of the state department of pub
lic welfare, stated today. Mr. Mill
er pointed out that it has come to
his attention that insurance sales
men were attempting to intimidate
and coerce pensioners by stating
that unless they took out insur
ance their pension would be stop
ped. Mr. Miller stated that any
such statement was false and
should be immediately reported to
the county welfare office or di
rectly to him and that he would
take action on any case reported to
him.
Mr. Miller said, “I cannot think
of anything worse than preying on
these old people in such a manner
and I am going to stop it by pros
ecution of the guilty parties if nec
essary.”
The working farm population is
now growing at the rate of about
445,000 a year.
Fifty-one per cent, of the nation’s
children are country born and
raised.
A pure and sufficient water sup
ply is one of the essentials for a
healthy home.
Vegetable Laxative
Makes Happy Friends
Here’s a laxative that usually acts
thoroughly as harsher ones but is a
gentle persuader for intestines when
used this way: A quarter to a
half-teaspoonful of spicy, aromatic
BLACK-DRAUGHT on your tongue
tonight; a drink of water. There’s
usually time for a good night’s
rest, with a gentle, thorough action
next morning relieving constipa
tion’s headaches, biliousness, sour
stomach, bad breath.
BLACK-DRAUGHT is a splendid
combination of vegetable ingredi
ents, chief of which is an “intesti
nal tonic-laxative” that helps im
part tone to lazy bowel muscles.
It’s economical. 25 to 40 doses: 25c.
