Howdy, Folks
BY REV. B. L. BETTS
AT LYERLY—
On Sunday, Nov. 26, the first Sun
day alter conference, our Sunday
school, morning preaching service,
Youth Fellowship and evening ser
mon will be the order of the day.
You are cordially invited to be
there.
AT OAK HILL—
Following the services of last
Sunday practically the entire con
gregation went home with Fred
Mitchell and his good wife. Every
body was invited. Wasn’t that nice?
From the first Sunday of my pas
torate so pleasantly spent with
Brother Felton Dempsey and his
good wife to the end of two years
yesterday in the good home of Fred,
I’ve enjoyed the Oak Hill people.
God bless them.
THIRD TERM—
The president set a precedent
when he was re-elected president
for the third term. It became a
habit of his when he was elected
for a fourth term.
No pastor, in quite a long time,
has served the Lyerly circuit longer
than two terms. It is my opinion,
however, that I shall have the priv
ilege of serving a third term.
Should I move, you may count on
my doing all that is within my pow
er to make the new man’s begin
ning pleasant for people and pas
tor. Should I say, I ask for co-op
eration, because the church and the
kingdom could not otherwise suc
ceed.
SANTA CLAUS—
Bless old Paul Smith’s heart.
Turnip greens!
CONTEST—
With so many papers before me
in the last several days, I have mis
placed some of Miss Cora Jackson’s
elass tests and will be obliged to
start a search before I can pass
upon the winner of her contest on
the Bible. Getting ready for con
ference is no easy task. So please
give me a little time.
God bless you, folks!

FROM A SOLDIER
North Burma, Oct. 12 (Delayed).
—Here are a few very simple silly
lines from some sappy soldier you
may print in some out-of-the-way
corner of yotir paper. They came
to me a few words and lines at a
time and finally I put them togeth
er to form the following nonsense:
Some Silly Sailor Story
Some sixty stalwart sailors
Sailing slowly seaward;
Some savage shark swam swiftly,
Striking ship—
Some sailor shouted, “Schooner
sinking.”
Some scornful shark saw some
sixty sailors strip,
Some sixty salty sailors swimming
shoreward;
Some scornful shark seeking sup
per swam, sampling sailors;
Such sinful stress, such stalwart
sailors shirk!
Some sixty sailors sobbing sadly
Saw something swimming shore
ward sorta slow —
Such sour sailors said shark sickly,
So sickly shark spit some sixty
sailors shore.
Some sixty sailors singing sweetly,
Some sixty sour sailors shoreward
stood,
Some scornful shark still seeking
Supper sickly swam slowly seaward,
So story stops—such silly stories
should.
A FRIEND.
HUMPH!
Visitor—ls there an encyclopedia
in the office?
Office Boy (politely) No, sir,
but what is it you wish to know?
RESPIRATORY DISEASES
INCREASE IN GEORGIA
Respiratory diseases were among
the leading causes of death in
Georgia last year, according to a
report of the state health depart
ment. Pneumonia claimed 1,703
lives, while influenza took 607, the
report shows.
Last year’s epidemic of respira
tory diseases began in November,
Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, state health
director, pointed out and urged
Georgians to be on guard against
colds that may lead to more serious
illness.
Respiratory diseases cause work
ers to lose more time from their
jobs than any other diseases, he
added.
Colds cannot always be prevent
ed, Dr. Abercrombie said, but ade
quate relaxation, rest and sleep a
nourishing diet, including fruits,
vegetables and milk, and the wear-
While one enemy remains our job is not done!

ing of warm, dry clothing are all
common-sense winter health pre
cautions that improve the general
physical condition and provide some
resistance against colds, influenza
and pneumonia.
Dr. Abercrombie urged persons
with colds to protect others by
staying away from crowds, by cov
ering coughs and sneezes, and by
using and promptly disposing of
paper handkerchiefs.
He also urged persons with se
vere colds to stay in bed and con
sult a physician for proper treat
ment. Dr. Abercrombie warned
against the danger of self-treat
ment of severe colds and especially
with sulfa drugs.
