the matter would be brought up at the
meeting today and this caused them
to rush the signlug by patrons of the
petitiohs asking for a return of the
one session system and while no par
ticular harm has been done, it has
caused somewhat of a disappointment
to those who have been devoting so
much of their time in the interest of
a movement they believe right and
one that, If successful, will lift a bur
den from the shoulders of the average
mother.
Nearly All Signed.
While It In true that ninety-eight
per cent cf the patron* who were *een

reasons for their action. One said

The Glynn County Board of Com
missioners held its regular monthly
meeting yesterday and a number of
matters out of the usual were handled
the most important of these being
the report of the engineers on the
road to St. Simon. This report was
received but no information was given
out at this time as to estimated cost,
etc.
The board authorized the comple
tion of the four mile stretch yet un
completed on the new road to Jesup.
It is estimated that this will cost in
the neighborhood of $16,000.
It is the general opinion that the
road between Brunswick and Broad
fleld will be paved as every member
of the Board seems to favor it and it
has been demonstrated that the ma
terial now on the road wil} not do ser
vice such as will be required of it.
Judge J. L. Beach went before the
Board in the interest of a donation to
the Confederate Veterans who desired
to attend the general annual re-union

stated.

IDLENESS GADS E
LOSS OE BILLIONS
Involuntary Unemployment Has
Cost American Sons of Toil
as Well as Others of All
Classes to Lose This Enor
mous Sum.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 4. —lx>*ses of
earnings of workers throughout the
country during the past fiscal year,
due to involuntary idleness, were put
at more than $6,500,000,000 in an
estimate prepared today by economic
experts of the National Conference
on unemployment.
This estimate, it was explained, cov
ered the loss in wages because of un
employment of all the Jobless in the
country from July, 1920, to August
15. 1921, and was based on an approxi
mation of normal pay levels rather
than on the scales at the peak of high
wages. Efforts of the conference. It
was said, would be turned toward a
remedy for the economic loss to the
country from such reduction* of the
earning power of Its workers In the
future by a more stahiillxed industrial
plan. ♦
