Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to ever
lasting, thou are God.
Since Thanksgiving Day is to be changed this year and
many object orr account of previously made plans, this country
could well use two Thanksgiving Days. On the first we could be
thankful for the Atlantic Ocean, and on the second for the broad
Pacific.
A news commentator in talking from Berlin to the United
States the other night forgot himself and referred to Hitler as
plain Hitler ... He caught his omission of a title instantly and
corrected himself by referring to the dictator as Herr Hitler . . .
He remembered where he was.
During the crisis in Europe, we were told that the King of
England and his brothers were among those who went to church
to pray ... In Germany, no doubt there were many who were in
prayer . . . But the government of Hitler discourages believers in
any religion . . . Religion is part of the human nature . . . With
out a belief or creed, we are drifters and without hope . . . Even
the blacks of Australia live with the hope that they will be white
after death . . . the Indians, primitive as they were, believed in a
happy hunting ground . . . When the Apostle Paul went to Athens
he found that the Athenians had erected an altar, To the Unknown
God . . . Showing that they too were seeking a satisfying religion.

The present war in Europe should never be known as the War
against Germany ... It should be the War against Hitler and
Hitlerism . . .
The first British planes dropped pamphlets instead of bombs
. . . This was what broke the morale of the German people in the
last War and was said to have been the idea of President Wilson.
The torpedoing of the Athenia off the coast of Scotland, a
passenger vessel loaded with people fleeing from the war in Eu
rope will only tend to increase the determination of the Canadians
to defeat a nation which does such frightful deeds. It will also
increase the sympathy of citizens of the United States. The
sinking of the Lusitania with citizens of this nation on board
was one of the events that put the U. S. in the World War.
It is not believed that the German people will not hear broad
casts from other countries as to the real cause of this, a second
terrible war in this era. It has been said that around 3,000,000
new radios were bought there last year and of these only about a
third were of the kind .which they were ordered by their govern
ment, Hitler, to buy.
The children from the slums of London who have been car
ried to the country for their safety will perhaps see a different
outlook on life. Many of them are seeing the country for the first
time in their lives. They may never return to their homes .
Uncle Sam will be knocking at your door next year . . . He
will have many questions to ask you . . . Some of them will seem
personal . . . They tell us that no one but a census employe will
ever see them ,as the information is only for statistical purposes.
The coming census will show’ the shift of population from city to
country, and from country to city.
Coming as it does at the time of the European w’ar our coun
try will have information which will be essential.

Bulloch’s John H. Brannen Chosen Master Fanner
John H. Brannen, 64-year old Bulloch county farmer, has been selected as a 1939 Master Farmer
of Georgia. Mr. and Mrs. Brannen are shown above (top, left) with their daughter, Miss Lucille
Brannen. Tobacco is one of several important crops on the Brannen farm, and here (top, right) the
Master Farmer looks over his crop with County Agent Byron Dyer. The meat in the smoke house
(bottom, left) comes from the same herd of hogs which supplies the Brannen bank account with its
largest single source of cash income. The comfortable Brannen home (bottom, right) is fully equipped
with modern conveniences. The Master Farmer awards are made cooperatively by The Progressive Farm
er, the Georgia Agricultural Extension Service, and the University of Georgia College of Agriculture.

Practicing Deception
“It is foolish,” said Hi Ho, the
sage of Chinatown, “to accuse a
man of practicing deception. Most
men that use such means are nat
ural born experts.”
Submarines in Warfare
Submarines have been tried la
warfare since the American Revohs
j tion.
are expensive, but most of them now
do what the manufacturer claims
they will do, and last a long time with
the proper care. The up-keep also
is reasonably small, and operative
costs depend on the efficiency with
which they are used and the amoun
of current used and cost of current in
your town or community.
It would be impossible for any one
to tell you, even a salesman, whether
it would be to your advantage to
“junk” your old equipment and pur
chase new. That each person must
decide after analyzing her needs; her
resources; and her ability to use the
gadget to advantage—what I have
attempted to do is to remind you that
these things do exist—your radio has
already announced them in glowing
terms—and that with them you may
make every day—‘Labor Day’—at
least in part.
