NORTH POLE ON WAY
TO ATLANTA? THEORY
RESISTED BY BROYLES

Is Atlanta getting nearer the north
pole?
Professor J. Walker, an educator
from Griffin, Ca, thinks we are, and
he is satisfied this approach to the
top of the world" is responsible for
the present extraordinary cold snap.
His advocacy of this remarkable theory
brought on lively debate today be-
tween the professor and Recorder
Broyles at the close of police court, the
Griffin educator having called as an
interesting spectator of the proceed
ings.
Judge Broyles is a close student of
astronomy, atmospheric conditions, and
other scientific novelties, and he
promptly took issue with Professor
Walker
The only way l know In which we
could get nearer the north pole is to
take trip on railroads and boats"
argued the recorder Il would like to
know how one spot on the globe is
going to crawl up nearer the north
pole"
