chairman for the evening and pre
sented the following program,
which was very highly instructive
and enjoyable:
“The Parent’s Prayer,” read by
Mrs. J. R. Burgess.
“The Teacher’s Prayer,” given by
Mrs. Graves Myers.
“Santa Lucia,” a vocal duet by
M.ss Annie Pitts and Mrs. Harry
Wallace, with Miss Alma Zada

dress by W. J. Culpepper.
In his discussion of this topic Mr.
Culpepper reviewed a book entitled
THE SUMMERVILLE, NEWS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1944.
“Release From Nervous Tension.”
He brought out the following facts:
(a) Recreation is essential in the
life of every one. (b) Age is a mat
ter of outlook—not years, (c) Peo
ple should have attitudes of hope
and faith, (d) Wholesome games
are good medicine for the body,
mind and spirit, (e) No person
should ever ieel that he is indis
pensable. (f) The world will move
on without us. (g) Everybody should
learn to relax.
In. discussing the immediate
needs of the Summerville School
Mr. Culpepper pointed out that the
community needs a long-range pro
gram in training the young people
morally and physically. He em
phasized the fact that the town
needs a recreation center with a
year-round program. In conclusion
he appealed to the P.-T.A. to try
to provide for these needs.
Alter Mrs. Eleam expressed her
appreciation for the splendid pro
gram, the P.-T.A. voted to spend
$l5O for playground equipment.
Expressions of appreciation came
from C. B. Akin, superintendent of
the Summerville School, and from
Miss Hughie Majors, director of
physical education.
Mrs. Frank Prince reported that
the P.-T.A. cleared $225 at the fair
booth. She extended thanks to all
who helped in any way to make
the booth a success—to the Lions’
Club, the merchants in town, Mr.
Romine for wiring the booth,
friends, mothers and teachers, es
pecially Mr. and Mrs. Akin and Mr.
Dunagan.
In the contest to see which school
room could bring the most food to
sell at the fair booth the following
were awarded $1 each: Miss Al
dred’s room in grammar school,
Mrs. Williams’ room in the pri
mary building, and the South Sum
merville School.
The winners on the October grade ' t
count were Mrs. Williams’ room in j
grammar school and the ninth 1
grade in high school. Publicity

Estimate Increase
In Carloadings
Atlanta, Oct. 17 (GPS). —Ship- ]
ers in Georgia and the rest of the (
southeast anticipate an increase of j
1 per cent, in freight carloadings <
in the fourth quarter of 1944 over
the corresponding quarter last year, ,
while the average increase estimat- ,
ed for the country as a whole is
slightly less, it being nine-tenths
of 1 per cent., according to the
forecast of the Thirteen Shippers’ ■
Advisory Boards, just made public
in Atlanta.
In the southeast, 998,891 cars are
expected to be needed, while a year
ago 989,294 cars actually were load
ed. an estimated increase of 9.597
cars, or 1 per cent. For the nation
as a whole it is estimated that
9,531,701 cars will be required, an
estimated increase of 88,957 cars, |

Georgians Confer
With Morgenthau
Atlanta, Oct. 17 (GPS). —Back
home are Robert A. McCord, state
finance chairman, and Jackson P.
Dick, chairman of the War Finance
Committee, of Atlanta, who went
to New Orleans last week and con
ferred with Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and
other bond sales officials, drafting
plans for the south’s part in the
forthcoming $14,000,000,000 sixth
war loan drive.
The drive will open Nov. 20 and
continue through Dec. 16. It will
be the first bond campaign led in 1
Georgia and Atlanta by two new J
leaders, who recently replaced State
Chairman Charles Stair and Six
teenth District Chairman Charles
Currie.
Meanwhile, while details of the ;
campaign are being worked out, ,
Georgians should be thinking about
getting ready to do their part in
this newest drive to raise money
lor the prosecution of the war. And
remember this: Your purchase of
War Bonds is an investment in the
future of America; not a contribu
tion for which you get no return.
