Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variable
ness, neither shadow of turning.—James 1, verse 17.
American, British and French submarine disasters in succes
sion in recent weeks are enough to cause suspicion of sabotage
... Each disaster was worse than the preceding one. Loss of life
was less on the American vessel and greatest on the French,
where no lives were saved. Orders for four diving bells have only
recently been given by the French government. v ? .
Sabotage is a word that should be common only in times of
war, but it seems to fit the present peace time tragedies.
Prof. H. E. Dennison, Georgia Tech economist stated last
week that one trouble with the State of Georgia is that the
people think more about making a dollar go a long way than about
making another dollar. He praised the communities where ef
forts of business men are helping the farmers. In one town in the
state four small factories are aiding in disposing of the farmers
products. The county is the unit of government. A county which
plans for the economic interests of its citizens will go a long ways
towards solving the economic problems of the state.
The situation between the Japanese and Great Britain con
tinues serious. The present action of the Japanese seems to in
dicate a desire on their part to get rid of all the foreigners in
China, forgetting that they themselves are aliens in China. The
other nations are showing clearly their sympathy for China, the
under dog and the Japanese want to overcome this by force. De
mands are being exchanged by Japanese and British, and local
incidents add to the tenseness of the situation ... It does not ap
pear reasonable that Japan would add more to her own troubles ...
Eventually, it is believed that diplomacy will avert trouble there.

People of Georgia on June 6th voted for amendments which
„did not in the least concern them, but did concern the citizens
of the counties interested . . . Now that it is over it develops that,
for instance, the citizens of DeKalb county voted against paying
additional compensation to the judges of the Stone Mountain cir
cuit .. . The people of the state have voted that they shall do this.
Another instance, the people of Grady county voted "no” 429 to 47
on a proposal to authorize issuance of a warrant refunding bonds
in that county . . . The people of the state, who are not interested
in the matter voted for the amendment. In all, nine amendments
were forced on the people who did not want them ...

H. V. Kaltenborn, noted news commentator recently made
the statement that Hitler has almost reached his limit. Backing
this statement is an article inf Colliers’ weekly which described the
anti-Hitler movement in Germany ... The country is being flooded
by anti-Hitler propaganda and the leaders are more daring. A
radio station which coUld'neVer be located was put out of. commis
sion by static . . . Now ten radio stations are blasting out news
where before there was one . . . They can not be located . . . Some
are in France, Switzerland, or Holland ■ . . The article tells that
their slogan is, “To the level of a dog.” It also tells that dogs are
scarce ... They have disappeared to go into the stew pot. . . The
German people are learning how the world feels toward their
leaders and it is believed that this will continue until the people
rise up against their rulers ...
Georgia’s ever present tax and debt problems are still to be
solved. The governor has spoken of calling two extra sessions
of the Legislature. When called together, the Legislature will be
composed of the same body of men who have already met, and
who are probably of the same opinion still, that no new taxes are
to be levied ... The members of the economy committee are going
to stand solidly back of the report they have spent months on.
One legislator favors a sales tax, provided all advalorem taxes are
dropped. Another has other plans and so on . . . Some economists
favor merging counties . . . Many politicians would be against
this ... A good plan inf merging counties would be to put all of the
last created ones back where they came from. This would be a
beginning.

British for the Battle of Lake Erie,
he remarked, standing at the rail'
"TMa is the most important day at

The Name Morria
The name Morria, like Mauriee, is
of Latin origin and means “Moor*
iah” or “dark-skinned.” It is, there
fore, suited to brunettes. Morris
seems to be the form of the name
more commonly used as a surname,
but is quite as often a given name.

Home and Family Life
BY MOTHER
Vacation—never before in history,
so far as I can remember, have I seen
and beard that word vacation as much
as I have this spring. In the maga
zines, over the radio, at the movies,
every where people are talking about
going places. Maybe it’s the King
and Queen coming to America, or the
five Dionnes taking their first trip,
or the sign of the perisphere, or the
call of the west that has put notions
into people’s heads to go and see—
I don’t know what it is really, but
it is certainly there and for those
who can go—well I say that’s fine—
nothing like a trip to make you glad
to get back home—wasn’t it Robert
Louis Stephenson who said, “You
may travel East and West, but after
all, at home is best?” Travel is
broadening! I’ve been around a little,
and I would not take anything for
fthding out some things “first hand”
or seeing something with “my own
eyes.” It gives me something to
think about when I come home and
pick up the routine of house keeping.
When I’m washing my little dab
of dishes now I don’t think about
how hot I am or how much trouble
it is to wash them three times a day.
I think of a famous pottery I visited
last summer where I saw skilled
craftsmen take sand and clay (some
of the fine white clay he told me was
shipped to him from Georgi*—and
I got chummy and asked him if he
had ever, seen our red clay) and water
and mix it together and fashion the
most intricate and exquisite dishes
you can imagine. Yes, travel does
something to us all. Lifts our horizon,
brings us home full of ideas, new
thoughts and quickened imagination,
so I hope if you can, you’ll manage
a trip this summer, which includes
the whole family. Whether you go
by train, or bus, or boat, or airplane
or in the V-8 or Chevy makes little
difference —there are a few rules to
traveling I would like to give you to
make the trip more enjoyable. Here
they are:
1. Don’t try to see the world and
all on one trip. See a few things
well, and enjoy those leisurely—after

How Much Canned Food Doe* Your
Family Need? Ji.
That depends upon how many peo
ple there are in the family. The wise
homemaker no longer cans just to be
canning. She cans with a definite
purpose in mind. To insure her fam
ily of a balanced diet throughout the
year and she has the assurance of
the nutrition specialist, Miss Susan
Matthews of the Extension service to
tell her exactly how much canned food
should be on her pantry shelf.
Below is a list of varieties and
amounts suggested by Miss Matthews.
You can figure out your own family
needs from this chart by multiplying
the number of jars required by the
number in your family. Don’t let the
amount discourage you. Hundreds of
homemakers have increased |he ef
ficiency of their family’s life and
health and decreased the high cost
of living by following Missi Mat
thews plan—and what others can do,
you can do. I
Here’s wishing you hick witji your
canning.
MOTHER.

Bulletin No. 370 “Canning Fruits and
Vegetables.” ; - It is published by the

ens, Ga., and gives full information

2. Don’t forget for one minute that
you are visiting! You can do queer
things at home and your neighbors
may excuse you by saying, O well,
that’s just “Mary’s way”—the old
home town accepts a lot from its in
habitants but now when one goes
traveling one rubs up against new
situations and the public judges him
by what it sees. Didn’t the King and
Queen make charming travelers, gra
cious and kind and appreciative!
3. Don’t be too critical. Fault find
ing! If Baker county is the garden
spot of the world, (and I hope it is
to you) after all one of your reasons
for getting away was to see how the
rest of the world lives. If you keep
an open mind you might pick up an
idea to bring home. There never was
a “garden spot” that couldn’t be im
proved by weeding and watering.
4. Special to the women and girls
in the party. Be sure your clothes
are right! It does not take much
money for travel clothes but it does
take some planning. I’ve read all the
pages in all the magazines this spring,
about travel clothes and boiled down,
this is about what all the stylists say
—comfort and good taste—and here
is how it is done:
Start with a basic color for your
suit or coat — yes, I say a coat for
no matter how hot you feel in South
Georgia, I don’t think you can get out
of the state headed north without put
ting on. your coat, and it must be
dark in) color, resistant to wrinkles,
light in weight and becoming to you
in color and style. This with a dark
but colorful print and a sheer for
more formal wear and you may feel
set to see the world. Cottons make
good traveling companions—just plain
gingham small apron check is both
smart and cool and comfortable. If
you possibly can—don’t carry more
than one hat—two at the most and
select these with as much reference
to packing as to becomingness. Shoes
—that is another story. Take along
several pairs. NOT NEW, but some
you have tried until you know they
•feel good. Feet just have away of
rebeling against new ground. (And
have you seen those new shoe and
hat bag combinations to make jacking
easier). They are reasonable too!
As for the rest of the clothing out
fit, the undies—l also have a word
to say. A good foundation garment
—one of the three way stretch jobs
is excellent for the tired travel back
because it gives just enough support
to the body—and here let me say if
you are traveling any distance change
positions in the car every hundred
miles or so. It rests the muscles.
Knitted rayon or silk .mesh, I believe
the sales girls call it) makes the best
kind of slips and panties for a trip.
They are easily laundered, dry quickly
and require no ironing and they are
comfortable—what more could one
ask?
PACKING: Luggage can make or
mar your whole trip. It does not
have to be expensive but it does need
to be handy. Most people have a
tendency to pack like sardines—more
than the bag will . hold. This requires
some one to sit on the lid every
morning to . close the back and one
loses a lot of time and money to find
and tip a bell boy every time she
wishes a fresh kleenex. A simpler
way is to anticipate your trip and
plan just the necessities in the way
of clothes and accessories—take only
those and none other. I believe I
could go around the world in two
bags but I would like three if there
were room and here’s what they would
be and what W P* tb®™’
Naturally you will not want just ex-
XV some things but the, you
pack your own bag. .
Bag No. 1: Over-night bag—small
unfitted case (I just dont care for
all the trappings, bottles and things
—but would rather fit it out with
my own special variety). I would
like for this to be large enough to
carry all my make-up stuff (not
much), my tooth brush, paste and
floss, my tiny sewing kit (maybe just
two or three threaded needles and a
small pair of scissors), my favorite
soap, (I just don’t like the soap I
find here and there and my skin feels
and looks better if I don’t give it a
change), my comb and brush and
some little nook for a house coat,
nightie and slippers.
If I am traveling by car often this
is the only bag I take with me for
the over-night stops and it saves
time in getting an early take-off in
the morning. In order to get so
much in so small a bag one must
have a place for each article and re
turn it to its place throughout the
trip. Most of the good lines of toilet
goods put up in small packages of
your choice—enough for two weeks
or a month and they are worth trying.
Powder is the first thing to take
—next to hats, because it just will
dust about. The new large flat com
pacts with real powder puffs help
here for they carry a week’s supply
and 'don’t spill.
The house coat —a slim, zipper
type is more satisfactory than the big
flared skirt because it takes less
room and the nightie—well, jersey is
my choice. Slippers ? Recently, I
have seen a folding paper kind used
at swimming pools that are good or
any that will not take up much room.
I have keen known to slip a fresh
blouse in a cellophane envelope in this
same bag without over-crowding it!
BAG NO. 2: This is a dress and
shoe bag unless I am fortunate
enough to have a shoe and hat com
bination spoken of earlier. lam very

being a short person this takes only
one fold this year, skirts being short

It helps to fold belts, ties and ac

those to be worn early in the trip
