VOL. XXXIX. No. 18. Economic Highlights At Home and Abroad Happenings that affect the din ner pails, dividend checks and tax bills of every individual. National and international prob lems inseparable from local wel fare. Current business developments have given cause for encourage ment, according to most of the leading trade reviews. The per iod of readjustment now way offers increasing evidence that business is gradually re covering from its worst phases, and that, even though there have been no outstanding gains, in fluences toward further reces sion are meeting sturdy opposi tion. R. G. Dun and Co. ob serves that too much attention is being focused on catastrophes and not enough on the founda tion that is being built steadily and quietly by those with pa tience, fortitude and faith in the future. Particularly encourag ing is the fact that manufactur ers, wholesalers and retailers in general have cleaned out most of their old stocks, made heavy cuts in inventories, increased operating economy, and built up sizable cash reserves. The recent report of the Tim ber Conservation Board to Sec retary of Commerce Chapin, forectsts that the lumber indus try may be expected to improve during the present year. importance of the forecast may be measured by the fact that lumber is an eight-biliion-dollar basic industry, and that in nor mal years it employs more peo ple than any other industry, in eleven states. The industry has made a remarkable record in holding down output and reduc ing inventories. Where demand in 1007 w r as for 47 billion feet, it fell to 12 billion feet last year, At the moment demand is run ning slightly ahead of produc tion. A paramount difficulty of the industry is taxation. A num ber of major lumber states tax standing timber, thus confiscat ing its entire value in a few years, which forces wasteful cutting to escape such a penalty. —■O—■ Debate between foreign and American shipowners over U. S. Government subsidies to the merchant marine, grows more intense. Latest foreign blast came from President of the Brit ish Board of Trade, who said that many of the misfortunes of American cargo fleets were due to overbuilding, which was stim ulated by “uneconomic sub sidies.” Secretary of the Amer ican Shipowners’ Association offered a vigorous denial. He said the U. S. has launched less tonnage than any of the other great powers during the last five years, and that we led the world in scrapping obselete ves sels. It is generally held by the shipping industry that federal snbsidies—which take the form of mail contracts—are essential to meeting foreign competition. Prices of farm products are holding their own. This was partly due to cold weather which reduced market supplies and strengthened demand. Advances have recently been registered by grain, cotton, hogs, veal calves, butter and eggs. The vegetable market likewise improved be cause of freezing damage in the South. During the first five months of the current season, world consumption of cotton totaled 9.9 million bales as com pared with 9.7 million and 9.1 million, respectively, in the same period in the two preceding years. Late reports on major indus tries show: Life Insurance—Marked de crease in- loans to Steel— Considerable ity still marks the demand sit- GIBSON RECORD Published to Furnish the People ot Glascock Coun ty a Weekly Newspaper Aid as a Medium for the Advancement of the Public Good of the County.

By HARRIET DEAN T BE advent of the lenten season never fails to bring concern to the housewife who prides herself on keep ing her family pleased by the variety of her foods Not only are most fresh fruits and vegetables out of season but lenten limitations call for a less frequent reliance on meat dfshes. In many plasea obtaining fresh fish Is not a solution but just another prob lem. However, you can always get sal mon or tuna at the nearest grocery store and so many new and Interesting ways of preparing them have been found that the housewife whe likes cooking can enter into a new field of adventure In the coming weeks. The Uneeda Fish Timbales pictured above are ready to be turned, piping hot, on to a platter and garnished with parsley and lemon. Use this recipe with either salmon or tuna.

The Child Reader i MARJORIE BARROWS \ Editor, Child Ufa Macula*.* One afternoon many years ago • wharf rat on San Francisco Bay wan dered Into the Oak land Public Library. i: There, opening a bound volume of a children’s mag azine, he stumbled upon a story. It mm was a story about a boy like hlitfself 1 —a runaway, leader of a gang wharf rats, who M had certain seml i plratlcal adven tures, but who, aft Marjorie Barrows er a hard lesson, learned of better ways of living Ms life. Making of Jack London. awoke The dramatic, exciting story in the young reader the uneasy con sciousness of his own wrong actions. He walked out of that library resolv ing to lead Just as adventurous a Ufa but one that carried with It a clear conscience. So he Joined the Fish Pa trol, cruised about the bay, fought poachers, and before long begaD to write stories about his adventures. That boy was Jack London. The experience of this famous writer oc curs, In a rather less dramatic fash ion, In the life of every boy or girl. Careful Investigators have discov ered that next to persons, nothing has more Influence on children than what they read. If a hero they admire acta under certain circumstances as they themselves would like to act, they’ll remember It. They Imitate the Hero. And when the time comes, they’ll unconsciously be Influenced by that hero's action and try to do likewise. The heroine’s kindness, ambition, steadfastness, loyalty, the hero’s re sourcefulness, quick-wittedness, pains taking qualities, courage, magnamlnltjr, modesty—all these examples “sink In” and are emulated both now and later. One story with hidden character-build ing values Is worth a dozen sermons from parents or teachers. Let us try to see that this sort of a story, full of plenty of adventure for the boy, full of Interesting plots and characters for the girl. Is convenient for them to pick up. Jack London Isn't the only one to be tremendously Influenced by the printed word. Astounding Facts A drop of blood contains three mil lion red globules, and there are more germs In the milt of a single codfish than men In the world. So small la this germ that one grain of sand is four million times larger than it. A hundred threads of the silkworm are Just one-twenty-fifth of an Inch thick when placed side by side, but there are some metals that cun be drawn out to such a fineness that twelve hun dred wires are only as thick as a ban dred silkworm threads. SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR Abolish State Senate Says L T. McCoy Dear Clipper:—I have read so much about the depression and hard times that 1 want in my fee ble way to give iny thoughts about what we need. The farmers, bankers, mer chants and railroad companies are all going broke just because in place of doing right we are trying to down the other fellow. In drastic times we need drastic remedies, and we need just a few statesmen like the Hon. Thomas E. Watson and Hon. Eugene Tal madge, men that can read the hand-writing on the wall and w ith a backbone as large as a tel egraph pole. We don’t need a sales tax, neither do we need beer. Why rob Peter to pay Paul? If I was a member of the House I’d introduce a bill to cut all salaries 50 per cent from the Supreme Court Judges to school teachers, reduce taxes 50 per cent and let it apply to all alike. I also would introduce a bill to do away with the state senate and the fish and game laws and a whole lot ol others that are no good. T he senate, no doubt, was created for a good purpose, but it has come to the place that no one ______j” can get there hardly ex cept ___, through „__. some hy-fulutmg - lawyer, and they can t agree on nothing — just another block in the way. That is one reason God said, “Woe unto you law yers.” Do not understand me to be against any good, honest lawyer, for I’m not, hut this wrangling and pulling ought to be slopped. When the country is drowning it ndeds help—in •tod pf enough b e „ „e need bread and money to do tbr bast-' ness of the country. How any Christian man or woman that has any foretaste of the Sa viour who died for us and real izing at the same time that He is looking right down at US, can say they favor whisky is beyond my ability to understand. With all of its filth it is had enough now. We have already enough boys in the chamgang and girls in the asylums and reformato ries. Why it will paralyze the brain and make men and women do things that they would not do tor anything without it. It will take the bread out of the chil drens mouths, clothes off their hacks, shoes off their feet, and at last land all in hell who stand for it. For Christ said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me,” and instead of teaching them drinking and telling lies, or stories, as they call them now, we should teach them to tell the truth like George Wash ington. f was in police court last Tues day and the officer brought in a very nice looking man up to the bar of justice and his wife came with him. The Judge asked her if she wanted to testify against her husband. She said, “Judge, I have stood it as long as I can. There will have to be something done. When he is sober he is alright, but when he is drinking he is mean to me and the chil dren. He came in drinking Sat SmUirT Charlie n l,f *. y 10ST =9 MT hkmim Di- 11 ° ggM when -Yeah’. I They called^ lau–ed for was bur on after I a haiHklked- speech ,for two hours ima–ne ~wdl* you. can urday night while I was cooking supper and knocked me up against the hot stove and cursed and abused us.” I think the Judge gave him the limit. Just another thought and I’ll he through for this time. Had you ever thought about .1 in this grand old country of ours if a man tells the truth he loses his job? I think the legislature should thoroughly investigate, and if they find that Mr. Adams authorized Mr. Rountree to do what is reported, they should let Mr. Adams lose his job, as he was taking all the advantage of the others who ran against him, and give Mr. Talmadge a chance to appoint Mr. J. W. Whiteley to the place. A man that stands four-square and totes fair and will do what he believes to he right and to the best interest of all the people regardless of what others may think about it. Respectfully, L. T. McCoy, a farmer. Warrenton, Ga„ Feb. 27, 1933. —From Warrenton Clipper. Breaks in Friendship With Fore ig “ n Powers Wa8Wngton ._ Preslde Hoover and members of his cabinet cleared their desks preparatory to turning the ship of state over to the new Roosevelt nd ministration.

He was free to watch the fireworks display In the monu ment grounds. Not so Tor Mrs. Roosevelt, however. At night she was escorted to Wash ington's large convention ball where the usual Inaugural ball was held. There she occupied a box for a short time and was the center ot attraction for 8,000 persons who had purchased tickets for the occasion, the proceeds of which will be devoted to charity. Mrs. Roosevelt had Intended to ah stain from appearing al the ball, out of respect to the memory of Senator Thomas J.Walsh of Montana, attorney general designate, but changed her program on hearing that many who had planned to attend were turning back their tickets.
