FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
MAKES GREAT PROGRESS
During the past 15 months there
has been 86 additions to the mem
bership of the First Baptist Church,
all of whom have come in the reg
ular worship services.
The 3rd Sunday worship service
in June we burned the $2,000 note
on the Building Loan Fund, and
raised $206.50 last Thursday even
ing to be applied on the last note
of a balance of $1,794.80.
The entire membership rejoices in
the fact that it will be only a short
time until we will be in position
to dedicate one of the outstanding
churches and educational plants in
northeast Georgia. For many years
the First Baptist church here has
maintained one of the few A-l full
graded W. M. U.’s in the state, and
this year has one of the 402, A-l I
graded W. M. U.’s of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
We are looking forward with
great anticipation to the series of
revival services to begin August Ist
and continue through the 10th. We
urge that our people be much in
prayer and plan to attend these
services. Further details concern
ing the revival meeting will be an
nounced later in The News.
O O. FLETCHER IS
VISITING HIS PARENTS
C. O. (Buddy) Fletcher of the U.
S. Navy at Norfolk, Va„ is on leave
this week and is visiting his par-;
ents. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Fletcher.
His friends are very much gratified
that he is one of the 22 out of 701
chosen for trade school. We are,
also nroud of the fact that he has
excelled in target practice, making
a score of 498. The Summerville ;
News Always takes special pleasure,
in publishing the merits of our
Chattooga county boys.
Trunkfish
The trunkfish is most appropri
ately named, for he literally “lives
in his trunk.” His body is complete
;ly enclosed within a hard, stiff,
bony shell, the only movable por- (
. tions of his anatomy being his eyes,
jaws, fins and tail.
The little pine-cone fish is an
other whose thick scales unite to
enclose the body in a sort of box.

SAVE BY CANNING
Canning in season saves labor,
time, and energy out of season, say
Extension specialists. A good sup
ply of home canned foods on the
pantry shelf will enable the house
wife to choose her menu and get a
meal with the minimum amount of
labor at the time of serving. Brief
ly, canning is “long-distanced”
cooking.

Notice To All Selecteve Service
Registrants Whose Question
naires Are Yet To Filled Out
You are cautioned by the Local
Board of Chattooga county to be I
more explicit in filling out your
Questionnaires. Special attention is
called to that section of the ques
tionnaire showing your family
group. The Board must know, in
detail, who you are living with, how
many members of your family are
living with you, how many work,
and if they* do work, how much
money they earn.
The Board hesitates to call in)
Registrants, for oral examination
but hereafter, unless these ques
tions are answered thoroughly,
showing the full details of the
status of your family, naming those
'ontributing to your support, and
how much you contribute, it will be
necessary that you be called in and
dealt with as is authorized by the
Board.
The Board wishes to remind eachj
registrant that he is answering the
-uestions in his questionnaire upon
oath, and those registrants that fail
to tell the truth in regard to his;
"amily situation or otherwise, are
subject to severe penalties.
The Board thus far. has been
lenient with the registrants and
very few registrants have been put
to any inconvenience whatever. It
is not the desire of any member of
the board to embarrass any regis-j
trant, but on the other hand, it is
the board’s desire to cooperate and
work with each registrant for his
good.
We caution you again to be very
particular about answering each;
-uestion in your questionnaire in a
clear and concise manner.

Chairman.

The campaign is very much like
