PENNVILLE P.-T. A
HEARS SANITARIAN
The Pennville School Parent-
Teacher Association, in a well
planned program for their Octo
ber meeting at the school Tues
day evening, heard R. E. Davis,
State Department of Public
Health Sanitarian, in an address
on the “Value of the American
School Lunch-room Program.”
Preceding Mr. Davis’ address,
the P-T.A saw a Public Health
movie on “The School That
Learned to Eat.”
In his address, Mr. Davis spoke
on the situation as it existed
during the war years over the
world and as it exists today.
He added further that the
school lunch-room program in,
the United Staves *s strictly" an
American idea.
“We do not now how fortun
ate we are,” he said, “until we
see how the rest of the world
eats. Our abundance of food has
made us a strong nation and our
school lunch - room program
continues our strength as it
builds the bodies of our youth.”
He spoke further on the school
lunch - room from a sanitary
view-point, stating that not only
was the food well-prepared and
well - balanced, but also under
conditions that made it safe for
the children to eat in them.
Forty parents and teachers at
tended this meeting, and in ad
dition to Mr. Davis of the State
Health Department, Miss Wilma
Pace, health nurse for the Chat
tooga County Health Depart
ment, was also present.

Memorial lowers
To Be Sold Nov. 11-12
“The poppies are here!”
This is the word which flashed
through the ranks of the Chat
tooga County Unit of the Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary this week
when a shipment of memorial
poppies to be wo"n here on Pop
py Days, Nov. 11-12, arrived
from Georgia hospitals, where
they were made by disabled war
veterans.
Members of the Auxiliary’s
Poppy Committee, headed by
Mrs. Frances Alexander, of Tri
on, and Miss Mae Earl Strange,
of Summerville have begun the
work of counting and arranging
to make the popples ready for
volunteer workers who will dis
tribute them throughout the
cities on Poppy Days.
The popples, made of crepe
paper with wire stems, are exact
replicas of the wild poppies
which grew in France and Bel
gium during World War 1, Miss
Strange explained.
“They were nature’s floral
tribute to those who died,” she
said, “and as soon as The Ameri- (
can Legion and Auxiliary were
organized after the war, we made
them our memorial flower. When
more young Americans gave
their lives in Europe’s poppy
studded fields in World War 11,
the poppy became their memor
ial flower, too, and it now sig- i
nifies rememberance for Ameri-I
ca’s war dead, no matter in what
part of the world they gave their
lives.”
The poppies received here are
the work of disabled veterans in
the Georgia hospitals where pop
py making is directed by the
Georgia Department of the
Auxiliary. The veterans not only
earn badly needed money by
making the little red flowers,
but the employment is consider
ed valuable as occupational
therapy.
The local Auxiliary pays $25
per 1,000 for the poppies, the
money going to veterans who
make them. Except for this
amount paid out for the poppies, t
1 the remainder of the funds re
main in this county to assist
local veterans and their families.

Men Should Be
Careful of Example
They Sei—Oberl
Men' each day are setting an
example for the youth of the
land and should be very careful
about the example they set.
The Rev. Leßoy Obert, speak
ing- at the Summerville-Trion
Rotary Club yesterday, empha
sied the fact that a child gets
its basic Christian teaching in
youth movements such as Scouts,
F. F. A.. 4-H Cluns etc., as well
as in Sunday School and church.
In these clubs the positive
procedure is followed instead of
negative, he said. The child is
not told to refrain from doing
things that are wrong, but in
stead he is kept busy doing
worthwhile things.
The speaker urged the men
I of the community to give of their
j time to scouting movement be
-1 cause it is more far-reaching
than Sunday School as about
one-half of the families in Amer
i ica are in some way connected
i with scouting.
The Rev. Mr. Obert, pastor of
' the Trion Presbyterian Church,
: and active in Scouting activities
was introduced oy the Rev. Frank
Prince.
Joe O’Neal, of Trion, will be
the speaker at next week’s meet

Another coal dealer said the
situation here is bad and that
many people are suffering be
cause of the lack of coal. He
said that it had been almost
fdur weeks since he has had any
and that it will take eight to
ten days for it to arrrive here
after the strike is settled.
“We don’t see any hope for
more coal now, but hope to soon,”
this dealer said. All of the in
dustrial plants in this area are
continuing on schedule and
most don’t anticinate a shut

Officials at the Montgomery
