The Georgia Railroad
Bank Has A Trust
Department
The year 1933 seems to be a
year oi anniversaries in Ueor
g»a, since, among others, the
btate observes its 20Wth birth
day; the Atlanta Journal its
aotli; the Augusta Chronicle its
150th and the Georgia Railroad
Rank – Trust Company its cen
tennial or 100th year of contin
uous existence.
Thus the country shows evi
dence of maturity. No longer
is this a land of pioneers; of
virgin forests; of unfilled lands
and unlimited opportunity.
On account of this maturing
of the country its major prob
lem or task changes from one of
development to one of conserva
tion. Most of the natural re
sources of the nation have been
found, tapped, and in many in
stances seriously depleted. It
becomes increasingly important
that te remaider be conserved,
and saved against the day when
we shall need them worse.
In line with other plans of
conservation, is the rather new
but rapidly developing financial
conservation idea of Trust De
partments in banking. This has
proven to be a welcome form of
service to those having problems
of investment property manage
ment and the care of estates.
It is operated as a part of the
Bank yet as a separate unit, in
that its work is entirely differ
ent from routine banking.
Many a man works a lifetime
accumulating a fortung, or -a
competence giving his''
time and best efforts to Iris bus
iness, then leaves it at his pass
ing in hands wholly inexper
ienced and unfit for the respon
sibility of carrying on the bur
dens of management and invest
ment. It is no wonder that most
estates are soon dissipated for it
would be expecting the unreas
onable for it to be otherwise.
It takes experience, study and
care to hold property, especially
in times of falling prices.
The Georgia Railroad Bank of
Augusta, has installed such a
service, in keeping with the pol
icy of the Bank to furnish its
clientele with every modern
banking facilitiy. An amend
ment to its Charter has been se
cured broadening its power to
allow it to exercise every form
of Trust activity. Now, it can
act as Guardian^ as Adminis
trator, as Executor under Wills,
as Trustee, Agent, Depositary
and any oth#r trust capacity.
An organization has been cre
ated to give especial attention
to this work which is under the
direction of Lee S. Trimble, Vice
President and Trust Officer, who
is one of the oldest trust men in
the South in point of service. A
strong Trust Committee formed
from the Board of Directors
meets frequently to pass on
matters of policy and of invest
ment. This committee at pres
ent is Messrs. John Phinizy,
Chairman, Bryan Cumming and
W. B. White.
The prestige and honorable
history of the bank, combined
with the efficient organization
set up insures the success of the
Department, so that its rapid
growth to the present as well as
expansion in the future may be
taken as a matter of course.
Those having tnfst problems
will do well to consider and use
this sendee.
Frait of the East
In size the lychee Is about that of a
strawberry or small English walnut.
The shape more nearly resembles that
of the strawberry, however. When
fresh the skin has the toughness of a
thick-skinned grape. It is eaten like
a grape, too—the pulp being removed
after the skin Is broken. When dried,
though, the skin snaps open with the
brittleness of our paper-shelied al
monds. The dried fruit resembles a
raisin.

fm. A N excellent way to remove
grease spot* from wall paper
Is to cover the spots with powdered
French chalk. Leave It on for
twenty-four hours, then brush off
If the spots have not disappeared,
repeat the application, laying a
piece of blotting paper over each
of the chalked spots and pressing
with a warm iron.
To preserve the freshness and
favor of fresh flsh over a period
of two or three days, sprinkle the
inside with sugar, keeping the fish
lu a horizontal position, so that
the sugar may penetrate ae much
as possible. Use one tablespoon of
sugar to a five-pound fish.

Study Means to Put
End to Farm “Waste”
Specialists Seek Methods of
Using By-Products.
Each year we make new progress
toward economic perfection on the
lurrn uud still there are plenty of
waste materials. This isn’t because
we are not careful and willing to save,
but because menus have not been
found for utilizing many of the things
we throw away, ltavv material to
utiike more than enough paper, fiber
hoard, acetic acid, alcohols, acetone
and charcoal needed each year In the
United States is found In the straw
of wheat, oats, hurley, rye and rice,
stalks of corn and sugar cane uud wild
marsh grasses.
The waste of these materials is es
timated at over 200,000,(XX) tons u year.
The chemists know about It and so
do the manufacturers. The trouble Is
that the materials are so bulky and
the expense of gathering them is so
great that they are not wanted when
more compact and more easily handled
stuff is available. Most of the paper
and other commercial goods mentioned
above are now made from other raw
materials, principally wood uud corn.
The various materials named are
not wasted altogether, of course.
Most of them are returned to the soil
whence they came, to add some humus
and fertilizing value. Even when they
are burned, a modicum of valuable
constituents Is restored to the earth
for the benefit of succeeding crops. It
will be a good day for agriculture,
however, when a greater number of
by-products yielding more directly and
more obviously a profit in the shape
of dollars can be made from some of
our so-called “waste” materials of the
farm.
Munlcaciy’t Ideas
When Munkaesy, great Hungarian
pnlnter, was a lad, he was dissatis
fied with representations of the
Christ which he saw. They seemed
“effeminate personifications of too
much humility.” He wished to paint
“such a man as could be severe to the
wrongdoer, even while he was for
giving and tender to the repentant."
To counteract the effect of the paint
ings of which Munkaesy disapproved,
he himself painted pictures which
have Christ’s life for theme.
Toad in Medicines
The Chinese have ivsed the toad for
medicinal purposes for centuries, hut
they use him empirically without ex
act knowledge. Drug stores In China
sell a hard toad cake which, when
ground, Is used externally as a local
anesthetic. The measure Is not with
out sense, as the substance doe’i
deaden the seusory nerves. The form
ula for the toad cake Is a secret which
all the king’s horses and all the king’s
met could not drag from Its maker*

Latin Little U<ed
While a form of church Latin Is
used by clergymen of various nations
aa a medium of conversation. It Is not
true that there Is any nation today
whose mother tongue Is Latin. Many
of our modern languages are derived
largely from Latin but all differ con
siderably from It.
