. . . Good .Morning! Come on
over, let's have a cup of sassafras
tea. Let'B talk about something
gay like the happy twitter of the
birds. Let's forget, there are
other things to March besides
wind and the income tax and wet
feet and virus. Though March is
a mecurial undependable fellow,
he sometimes is sad, and some-
times gay. Sometimes a new world
can begin on a March day with a
flying scud of white clouds, a
sail in a gentle blue sky.

Wouldn't it be nice if business
was always flushing like the week

Legislative Activities
By Cloyd Young
The House refused to pass
House Bill 30 by Bell moving the
election dates up two months;
that is, having the first primary
in May and the second one in
June.
House Bill 426, which is the
major appropriation bill is set for
hearing on Tuesday, March 20.
This bill takes the highest priority
over all the bills as it deals with
the transaction of the business of
the State. At the time of this
writing, there is a movement un-
derway to have this bill postpon-
ed, because March 20 is also the
date that H. J. R. 6, which raises
Bro. Hardt assisted in the funeral the ?eili"& °n 01* Assistance,
is also to come before the House.

District WMU
Conference April 3
The district WMU Conference,
cruiting Station here in Atlanta, j
The pictures are changed weekly.
J. Yates will preside. A very in-
teresting program has been plan-
ned. Everyone plan to attend.
The Legislature sometimes acts
in curious ways, and it certainly
takes a watchful eye to under-
stand the underlying motives that
are often behind certain moves.
One bill will be used for the spe-
cific purpose of fighting another
one.
House Bill 226 brought the big-
gest fight thus far this session.
This bill was to revamp our farm-
to-market road program by re-
pealing the Colson-Brisco Bill. In
short, it would have meant less
instead of more rural roads. I, as
well as the majority of the mem-
bers of this session of the Legis-
lature, are watching opportunities
for economy, however, we do not
want economy which is mostly at
the expense of our rural road pro-
gram. The bill passed out of the
committee to the House on Mon-
day night, March 12. So, the bat-
tle lines were quickly drawn. The
rural boys and the advocates of
rural roads were prepared Tues-
day morning to re-commit this
bill back to an unfriendly commit- j
tee.
There was extreme interest in I
as was indicated by the |
Teachers Banquet
Friday night in Linden at Am-

states that all teachers in Atlanta
school will attend and they will
be honored to hear Dr. J. W. Ed-
gar, Commissioner of Education,
who'll give address of evening. Dr
Edgar will be introduced by our
own Senator Howard A. Carney of
Atlanta. After the banquet and
program teachers will attend to
business of electing county offic-
ers for school year 1951-52.
Hollywood Monster
Coming To State
The management of the State
Theatre announced today that con-
tracts have been signed for the
appearance of the screaming stage
sensation, Monster Makers. This
show on its first national perso
nal appearance tour has been
breaking box office records where,
ever presented.
Manager Wayne McCombs of
the State Theatre advises that
you attend with an escort; as the
theme of the show promises chills
and thrills aplenty. The publicist
representing the stage attraction
jokingly invited the girls to bring
their boy friends, and discover if
he is a man or mouse.
T*he reason for all these warn-
ings is due to the appearance of
a group of the movies' Stars of
Horror, and they'll appear on the
stage. They even wander down
into the audience. At this point,
let's add: If you have a weak
heart, better stay at home.

Local Guard
Inspection Tonight
Local members of the Texas Na-
tional Guard will undergo their
fourth annual federal inspection
tonight (Thursday) at the armory
Captain James McCoy, command-
er of Company D has been inform-
ed that a representative of the
office of the Inspector General,
4th Army Headquarters,' in San
Antonio, will arrive in Atlanta at
1 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
The afternoon phase of the in-
spection, with permanent duty per
sonjiel present, will cover adminis
tration of the unit, while the in-
spection this evening will be for
the purpose of interviewing mem-
bers to determine the status of
their training. A formal inspec-
tion will be held during the first
hour of the drill and the inspector
will observe typical classes of in-
struction during the second hour.
Captain McCoy stated that he
saw no reason why Company D
could not have 100 per cent at-
tendance for the inspection. Ev-
ery member attended the annual
inspection two years ago, when
the strength of the unit was 67,
and last year, with a strength of
twice the figure of the year be-
fore, only 5 men failed to be pres-
ent. "After the President declared
that a national emergency existed
added the local commander, "the
training of the reserve forces of
the country took on added import
ance. The only way that members
can receive that vital training is
to attend every meeting that it is
possible for them to attend."
"Therefore," Captain McCoy con
tinued, "any absence by any re-
serve member from military duties
assigned him as a member of the
armed forces is likely to cause gra
ver consequences.'"

Wednesday, March 21 in the high

Jimmy Nichols, M. W. Stuckey,
Bennie McGill, Bobby Cargile. Mrs
McClung then presented several
members of her speech class in a
clever one act play entitled Love
Hits Wilbur. Following the play,
Mrs. James Coney read the names
of the officers who had been sel-
ected by nominating committee for
next year. Room count was won

NUMBER THIRTEEN
Practice Starts On
Lions Minstrel
Funny stories in the air, local
citizens learning pages of script,
an advertising committee hard at
work, music in the air, all added
together can mean but one thing
at this time of the year and that
is the annual Atlanta Lions Min-
strel. This year's show promises
to be the biggest and best in a
long line of great shows.
Heading the cast again this year
for the second season will be Kel-
ly Arnold as Mr. Interlocuter, who
will be assisted by six funny end
men with the perennial favorites:
Waylon Nelson as Hambone; Vas-
co Brabham as Buttermilk; and To
land Meredith as Cyclone. Three
new Lions will make their mins-
trel show debut this year: Bonnie
Roark as Asofidea; Ed Henley as
Catfish and F. P. Ellis as Sassa-
fras. Nine acts of comedy and fun
will insure every ticket holder an
evening of riotous fun and enter-
tainment.
This year's show will present a
number of new specialty acts and
singers as well as the yearly fa-
vorites Rev. Irby Bates and Frank
lin (Bear) Allday. A complete
specialty program will be announc
ed next week.
Tickets will go on sale next
week. This year there will be 160
reserved seats each evening. They
will be placd on sale at some cen-
tral point down town. See some
Lion today to reserve tickets and
avoid the disappointment of not
being able to get seats for the hit
show of the season.

M. L. McCombs has seeded n
5-acre meadow to Kobe and haa
planted a border of BiColor Les-
pedeza around a small wooded
area.
Paul McWhorter has seeded 30
acres to Serecia on a well pre-
pared seed bed, using home grown
seed. Fifty acres of his Crimson
Clover, which he has been graz-
ing since the fifth of March, has
maintained a perfect stand. Mc-
Whorter has purchased several
stands of bees to be placed around
the clover. Cross pollination by
insects will materially increase
seed production.
