“PI M from the Printshop.
J I
(By Harry Wallace)
After having been two weeks
out of the printshop we are glad
to get back and have everything in
place once more.
We run out of paper and ink
this week and had to borrow some
from one of the printing offices in
Milledgeville. As they had nothing
but yellow paper we printed this
weeks issue on that.
As we got the paper off sooner
than usual last week we had Friday
afternoon and Saturday for hol
idays.
This is the last issue of our sec
ond volume. We start off next week
hoping the Future Citizen good
luck'and trying ; to do better work
to make a better paper. :. •'•XXX

(By Julius Starnes)
There are not many collards in
the patch now as the boys have been
eating them regular since January.
All the boys like the collards very
much and hate to see them go.
We have been gathering [turnips
for the boys for the past two weeks.
They like them as well as they did
the collards but they wiU not last
long.
Earl Creel and Julius Starnes
are both new boys'in this depart
ment. They appreciate their jobs
and are going to try to hold them.
The boys had peas twice last
week and Sunday also. They had
onions to go with the peas Sunday
und enjoyed them very much.
THE HUMAN ENGINE
MUST COOL OFF.
(Continued from page i )
is as vital to the well-being and hap
piness of every man as the question
of prosperity, as the question of
accumulating wealth and providing
for the future. It is well to work
industriously during work hours,
like the engine that continues hour
after hour to run smoothly grinding
out power to turn the wheels of the
manufacturing plant until shut
down time comes And it is well
also to employ time beyond work
hours in study, self-improvement
and the cultivation of your fellows.
But a man’s life should not be lived
within four walls.
The capacity for work, for study
and for improvement, after all, is
largely a physical capacity—like
the engine that.can do so much and’
no more—and to stand the strain
there must be letups and natural
restoration of spent energy.
Recreation constantly is a neces
sity—not a luxury, as some seem to
believe. A tired muscle must be
rested; a fagged brain must be rest
ed ; stagnant blood corpuscles, like
the dry bearing of an engine need
ing oil, must be made to stir and
brighten; worn brain cells must be
overhauled.
And while there are times when
absolute rest—mental and physical
—is imperative, there are times al
so when recuperation is best effect
ed by counter exercise, by stimula
tion brought in through other men
tal and physical channels. Men
who work at manual labor, should
do something to exercise their little-
used musles. They should take
outdoor exercise to straighten their
bent backs and their cramped fin
gers. Always there is some form
of physical recreation within the
reach of every man, who needs it,
just as there is some place to rest
for the worker in the mill and the
factory.—Evansville Journal-News.

(By Gordon Ragsdale)
We have been getting along
fine since the la&t report which is
really nothing unusual—for us.
We gave the clothes room a good
cleaning up Tuesday. We clean it
up often but the things going in
and coming out keep it messed up
about as much as we can clean up.
We received a new supply of
soap. We got a new brand this
time and it is better than the brand
we have been getting.
We received our yearly supply
of straw hats for the boys. They
will be glad to get them soon as
the hot weather does pot go right
with them.
Sparks from th~ Anvil.
(By Bill Erwood)
We have been very busy in this
department this week sharpening
plows. The plow boys are using
them pretty regular and we have
to keep busy sharpening them.
We received a new supply of
plows and plow handles which we
needed very much.
Frank Johnson is a new boy in
this department and he takes great
interest in his work and tries to do
it well. -
We have been making some new
forms of different designs from the
others.
We have been making some new
concrete blocks for the building.
We have also resumed making our
concrete posts.
We have four shop boys this
week. We are glad to have more
boys in here as % we can catch up
and not be in such a rush.
