Palmer Nominated
District Governor
Os Georgia Rotary
When the expected 700 or more
delegates to the Georgia District
Conference of Rotary Interna
tional gather in Savannah May
11-13, they will be called upon
to vote for perhaps Georgia’s
best known Rotarian, both in
this country and abroad, as their
next district governor.
He is Atlanta’s Charles F.
Palmer, president of Palmer,
Inc., who has been unanimously
nominated for the high post by
the district’s nominating com
mittee, headed by Joe Timber
lake, of Macon. Mr. Palmer’s
service in the public housing and
office building management
fields and his 20-year record as
an active Rotarian has carried
him to virtually all parts of the
United States as well as into
many foreign countries. He is’hn
internationally recognized hous
ing authority.
A member of the Atlanta Ro
tary Club since 1926, Chuck Pal
mer has served as secretary,
member of the board of direc
tors, first vice-president and cur
rently is president of the club.
In the state organization he has
served as a member of the dis
trict governor’s council, chair
man of the district conference,
and chairman of the district res
olutions committee. Not only has
he attended many district con
ferences and international con
ventions, but he has addressed
Rotary Clubs in overseas coun
tries and attended Rotary meet
ings in Italy, France, Denmark,
Sweden, England and Mexico.
Organizer of the nation’s first
slum clearance project (Atlan
ta), Mr. Palmer was the first U.
S. defense housing co-ordinator
during the war, and later as spe
cial assistant to President Roose
velt made several trips to war
torn Europe to study housing
conditions. More recently he was
U. S. delegate to the Internation
al Federation for Housing and
Town Planning in England last
year, after having held the same
credentials when the federation
met in Mexico in 1938. He is past
president of both the Southern
and National Associations of
Building Owners and Managers,
National Association of Housing
Officials, Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, English - Speaking
Union, and was executive com
mittee chairman of American
Legion Post No. 134, and a trus
tee of Jesse Parker Williams Hos
pital Foundation.
The forthcoming Rotary con
ference in Savannah promises to
be one of the largest in history.
Rotary is extremely active in
Georgia, having clubs in Albany,
Americus, Athens, Atlanta, Au
gusta, Austell-Clarksdale, Bain
bridge, Barnesville, Blackshear,
Blakely, Brunswick, Calhoun, Ca
milla, Canton, Carrollton, Car
tersville, Claxton, Cochran, Co
lumbus, Covington, Cuthbert,
Dalton, Dawson, Decatur, Dub
lin, Eastman, Elberton. Fitzger
ald, Gainesville, Griffin, Harlem.

Miss Susan Mathews, state nu
■ tritionist, gave a demonstration
Ito the members of the County
Home Demonstration Clubs on
I Tuesday afternoon at the Sum
jmerville Methodist Church. Her
subject was ‘‘Dishes of Canned
I Fruit.”
Os particular interest was the
recipe for the flaky pastry she
used in the fruit tarts.
Flaky Pastry
4 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoonsful salt
l l /2 cups shortening
1 compressed yeast cake
1 cup cold water.
Sift flour and salt. Blend in
shortening. Add yeast cake that
has been dissolved in cold water. I
Roll to desired thickness and
bake in 425 degree oven. This
recipe makes three nine-inch
pastries or two dozen tart shells.
This pastry stores well after bak- |
ing, but on account of the yeast
should not be stored in refrigera
tor before baking.
Miss Juanita Burkett, county
demonstrator, announced that
the county-wide Dress Review
would be held at the courthouse
| the afternoon of May 31.

THE REVOLT OF THE *
NORTHERN TRIBES
International Sunday School
Lesson for May 4 1947
Golden Text: ‘‘A man’s pride
shall bring him low; but he
that is of a lowly spirit shall
obtain honor.”—Proverbs 29:
23. Lesson Text: I Kings 12:
14; 12-15; 19-20.
First Kings takes up the rec- 1
ord of the Hebrews from the I
point where Second Samuel ‘
stops, beginning with the old age !
of David, and recounting the 1
glory of Solomon’s reign.
Our lesson this week is about f
the division of the kingdom ‘‘
Solomon’s era was one of out
ward greatness but it contained ! 1
the seeds of dissension. This 1
king had hundreds of wives,
many of them being foreign '
princesses with heathen outlooks *
who set up their pagan shrines 1
and turned the people of Israel
from their allegiance to Jeho- 1
vah.
The construction of temples, '
palaces, cities and other public
structures made the burden of
labor and taxation heavy, and '
towards the end of Solomon’s •
reign there were signs of the dis- '
content and dissatisfaction.
Following the death of Solo
mon, the 12 tribes of Israelites 1
assembled to crown his son, Re- '
hoboam, king. Already there was ;
much dissatisfaction and discon- ;
tent in the kingdom because of
the heavy burdens which the ex
travagances of Solomon had im- '
posed on the people.
Before crowning their new 1
king, the people asked Rehoboam
to pledge to ease their burdens.
Rehoboam asked for three days '
to consider their request.
Rehoboam wisely went to some
of the older counsellors in his '
father’s kingdom and they ad- ■
vised that he heed the people’s
demands. He then consulted
some young men, with whom he j
had been reared, and they coun
seled him thus:
“Say unto them, where as my
father did lade you with a heavy
yokes, I will add to your yoke;
my father chastised you with
whips, but I will chastise you
with scorpions.” The young man
followed the latter counsel and,
through his foolish decision, lost
the greater part of his kingdom.
Ten of the 12 tribes, instead
of accepting Rehoboam as their
iking, chose Pereboam, a membert
■of the tribe of Ephraim, Indus- j
| trious and able, who had been I
promoted by Solomon into a po-I
sition of leadership among the
many engaged in various public
works. The prophet Ahijah came
j to this leader with a divine mes-,
sage, advising him that the king
' dom would be divided over 10
i and that he would rule over 10
I tribes.
j The reason stated by the pro
i phet was that Solomon and his
I followers had discontinued walk
ing in the ways of Jehovah. The
i change was not to be made until
after Solomon’s death and the
i announcement was accompanied
iby a promise that God would be
j with Jeroboam if he obeyed Him
and did that which was right.
I Solomon learned in some way
of the destined fate of Jeroboam
and sought to kill him. Jeroboam
fled to Egypt until after Solo
mon was dead, then he returned
to Ephraim and became the
spokesman for the people of the
10 northern tribes.
The result was a division of the
kingdom, Jeroboam becoming
king of the northern 10 tribes
which inherited most of the sa
cred places of the nation, but
Judah retained the immense ad
vantage of the location of the
great city of Jerusalem with its
temple.
Naturally, there was much ri
valry between the two kingdoms
and there was constant war be
tween them. Jeroboam, fearing
to let his people go to Jerusalem
for their own religious feasts and
rites, established two shrines,
one in the northern part at Dan
and the other in Bethel, each
having a golden calf to serve asj
an outward symbol of Jehovah J
to the people.
He sinned by permitting the
people to worship an image and
he further sinned in selecting
men to be priests who were not
'of the tribe of Levi, dedicated by
God for the priesthood. Not only
did Jeroboam sin, but the scrip
ture declares, he “made Israel to
sin.”
During the 210 years after
Solomon’s death and the com
plete ruin of the Northern King
dom, 19 different kings reigned
—some for only one or two years.
It is impossible to consider each,
but among them there were sev
eral righteous men who tried to
lead the people back to God. As
a whole, however, these kings
were wicked men.
