All Children Must Be Vaccinated
to Enter School. Get Admis
sion Cards Next Week
Superintendent of Schools, C. A.
Keith anounces that the 1922-23 ses
sion of the Marietta Public Schools
will begin Monday, September A4th.
The schools were full last year and it
is certain that the schools will be lit
erally jammed this year. Supt. Keith
announced several weeks ago that it
would be necessary to have double
sessions in some of the lower grades.
This will be a handicap to some of
the lower grades, but there is no oth
er way at tpresent to accomodate all
the pupils. There is an article else
where in the Journal on the possibili
ties of a new high school, but as yet
nothing definite is known in regard
to it.
Examinations will be held in the
Haynes Street building on Friday,
September Ist, beginning at 8 o’clock
and Mr. Keith requests that all new
pupils and those that were condition
ed last year to be there at that time.
Admission cards may be obtained
from the Superintendent’s office in
the Haynes street building any time
next week between the hours of 9
a.m and 1 p. m. Pupils should
bring or send their promotion cards.
High school pupils need not come
next week, but can get their cards
on the opening day of the school.
Mr. Keith also stated that all child
ren who have not been vaccinated
for smallpox should have this attend
ed before school opens.

Smyrna seems to be especially
endowed with rare musical tal
ent—especially that adapted for
radio. From time to time, late

dience was well pleased.
About the middle of last week
the Smyrna orchestra made g
big hit over the Atlanta Jour
nal‘s station. This orchestra
was acclaimed one of the best
in the entire south. Last Satur
day at the 10:45 program of the
Journal the Smyrna Male Quar
teft pleased Jincounted thous
ands with their melodious old
Georgia songs.
Miss Evelyn Allen, violinist
and Mr. Wayne Allen, tenor, ad
ded additional laurels to the tal
ent of Smyrna, last Tuesday
night when they made their ra
dio debut at the Journal’s Broad

No Definite Arrangements Will
Be Made Until Later
: The following interview has been
‘obtained from a member of the city
ißoard of Education, regarding the
reported action toward, securing a
site for a new high school building:
i “There has been no decision reach
ed as yet by the City Board of Edu
cation, regarding the securing of a
ilocation for a new High School build
ing. We are inspecting some sites,
!and may endeavor to secure options
later.
;» “The erection of a new High School
in Marietta, of course, is contingent
on the people, voting a bond issue for
that purpose. The urgency of having
such a building is evident to every
member of the board, and will un
doubtedly become so to the patrons
of our schools, after trying out the
double jessions fin several of the
grades, that we will be compelled to
have from now on until a new build
ing is provided.
“As to whether it would be best
for the new building, when erected,
to be out where ample grounds ad
joining could be had for athletic pur
poses, or centrally located for the
convenient use of its auditorium, ete.,
with athletic grounds elsewhere, will
be duly considered at the proper time
by the Board.” |

SUPT. BENNETT IN
'NEW YORK TO RE
COVER BANK MONEY
Will @e An Effort to Recover
Funds from N. Y. Brokers Lost
By Former Bank Officials
f Mr. T. R. Bennett, Superintendent
of Banks, for Georgia, has gone to
‘New York, for the puropse of under
taking &; péik to recover from the
New York brokers some of the mondy
,which was lost by A. H. Gilbert, vice
president, and George H. Sessions,
cashier. of the Marietta Trust &
‘Banking 'Compfiny, in a 4 gambling
transaction on the New York ex
change.
- Their speculative ackounts were
handled by brokers, who were mem
bers of the New York exchange, and
in violation of the rules of the ex
change, which prevents employees,
agents and clerks of banks and trust
companies from carrying gambling
accounts without the consent of their
employees. |
Efforts have been under way since
the failure of the bank to recover
something from the brokers, who are
still in business, by the banking de
partment and the liquidating agent
and attorneys representing the bank,
and it was thought best to take it up
in person. We are informed that
Mr. Bennett is making this trip with-l
out any expense whatever, to the
bank. |
BIDS FOR ERECTION
OF GRAIN ELEVATOR
IN HANDS OF BOARD
Bids have been received for the
erection of the grain elevator, but on
account of the railroad strike, noth
’ing can be done at present. The
}'strike has completely tied up the erec
ition of the elevator, but the plans
‘have not yet been abandoned. The
people manufacturing the machirery
will not ship it, and other materials
need cannot be obtained. However,
the outlook is still good that it will
be built by this fall. The board of
directors will meet this week to dis
cuss plans,
Annual Singing Con
vention at Orange Hill
The annual singing convention at
Orange Hill, three miles north of
Austell, will be held this year, on
September 2nd and 3rd. However,
the singing will not start until Sat
urday afternoon. The Convention
this year is expected to be the best
held in many years, as singers from
all over this part of the state are ex
pected to be present.
The association is one of the oldest
in the state, being organized over a
half a century ago. The officers of
the association are: A. I. Mcßrayer,
President; Mrs. Gentry, Vice-presi
dent; Mr. Brooks, Sec. and Treas.
PAVING WILL CONTINUE IN
SPITE OF LACK OF MATERIAL
According to an authentic report
the street paving will not be held up
on account of lack of rock. For a
while it was thought that the strike
would hold the paving up, but the
rock will be supplied from the stone
quarry at Kennesaw mountain. This
will be a great help to the city and
will enable the construction people to
push the work to a conclusion.
RADIO MANUFACTURING
PLANT FOR COBB COUNTY
Cobb county has always been
considered one of the most pro
gressive counties in the state
and its people the most progres
sive people. In the modern day
rush it has not lost any of the
prestige gained in former years.
Cobb county is to have one
of the most modern of the pres
ent day industries—a radio man
ufacturing plant. The radio
bug has had good pickings here
in old Cobb and its victims num
ber into the hundreds.
The new plant is to be operat
ed by Mr. E. D. Underwood, at
his home on Love street, Smyr
na. He will manufacture receiv
ing sets of all sizes. Mr. Under
wood is a former Marietta boy,
his parents are still living here.
He is to be rcongratulated upon
venturing into such a new field
of endeavor.
Mr. Underwood is thoroughly
capable of looking after such a
business. While he is only an
amateur, in the strictest terms,
he understands the new marvel
exceptionally well. He announ
ces that he will also carry a line
of other makes of machines.
LEGION TO SHOW
AGTUAL SGENES
OF RECENT WAR
Picture to Be at the Strand About
Sept. 156th, Under the Auspices
of Horace Orr Post
The world war picture, “Flashes of
Action,” that the Horace Orr Post
of the American Legion was to
bring to Marietta about the last of
August has been postponed to around
September 15th, according to an an
nouncement made by Dr. P. L. Knott,
Commander of the Post. The reason
given was that it would enable more
school children to see the pictures,
It is the present plan of the legion
to send men to the schools to explain
the picture to the children. This pic
ture is an authentic one in every re
spect. It was taken by the Signal
eet S iy
that is shown. The picture is com
plete in every detail, covering the
training camps, the embarkment, the
voyage across, the disembarkment,
the training area, and last the actual
fighting.
This picture is one especially de
signed as an educational picture and
should impress the exact conditions of
the war on the child much more than
a written account would.
The legion, according to Comman
der Knott, plans to fix the front of
the Strand up in real war style,
where the picture is to be shown, and
to put on a real demonstration the
night before the show.
The Newman Orchestra, direct from
Rector’s Cafe, New York, was enjoy
ed by a good audience. It is esti-‘
mated that over one hundred and
twenty-five people heard this worldl
famous orchestra.

Many Boys take up Journal Radio
Offer. Not too Late Yet to
Get a Dandy Receiving Set
When the Journal announced last
week that it would give away Radio
receiving sets free, little did it real
ize what a flood of replies it would
get. Subscriptions literally poured
in, beginning the first thing Friday
morning and (continuing up to the
present. Soon after the Journal of
fice was opened Friday morning,
Pierce Latimer, Jr., started the fire
works by bringing in six subsecrip
tions. And he never let up until
he brought in the last one to get a
radio set, Monday morning.
A race developed early between
Pierce and Campbell Petty, as to
who would be the first to win a set.
The race was hotter than a Cobb po
litical race. But when the Journal
office opened Monday morning they
were both up here with the remain
der of their subscriptions so we had
to call it a tie. Both these boys did
splendid work for their sets and de
serve to be commended for their fine
work.
Another hard worker entered the
race Saturday in the person of Rob
ert Benson. Robert went right af
ter them and became the proud pos
sessor of the Little “Marvel” Tues
day afternoon. Robert did not stop
with this but continued to get sub
scriptions and now has enough to get
an extra pair of phones. We con
gratulate you, Robert!
Many other contestants have not
yet completed their quota but who are
coming right along. Maurice Wolf,
Sterling Claiborne and Lawrence Mi
lam are going strong. If these boys
will keep up like they have started
we will be able to announce at least
three more winners by next week.
Another boy has entered the race
from Acworth, Harold Goodwin wrote
yesterday announcing himself as a
contestant. The Journal is glad to
see other boys in other towns taking
interest and hope to have several
entrants from both the country and.
boys for their firs ?:"3’l-’&7'“;"
newspaper story they were rather
free in their praise for the sets.
“I certainly am glad I tried, and
while T haven’t finished my antenna
yvet, I know she will work like a mil
lion dollars,” said Pierce Latimer. “I
want to thank all my friends who
helped me win this,” he added.
yWhen we asked Campbell if it
‘was worth trying for” he replied
in a most emphatic manner, “Well I
should say so. I can hear over it
fine. I would advise any boy to try
for a set because it is easy to get
subscriptions to the Marietta Journal.
Everybody wants to take it and all
old subscribers want to renew. I
want you to thank all the people who
were 80 nice to me in subscribing,”
he said.
~ Robert was just as pleased as the
others and said, “I know I will like
it. It surprised me how easy it was
to win a set. Everybody wants to
help you and I sure want to thank
them for helping me.”
It is not too late to enter the race
yet, so if you haven’t already enter
ed come on in. You will enjoy it
and win a fine set at the same time.
All that is necessary to win one of
these sets is to get twenty-five sub
scriptions to the Journal, either new
or renewals. When you get a sub
scription bring it up to the Journal
office and we will give you a receipt
for the subscriber and give you cred
it. When you have secured your
twenty-five, the set is yours.
