l got in touch with nay kinsman John Barnett Knox, who knows Anniston and its history as well as anybody in it. and he was only too glad to take me around in his car and point out the places of interest. He is proud of his town and was greatly interested in seeing to it that the officers and their wives. and tho visitors and soldier boys should be hand somely and courteously treated. He was full of the question as to the best way to entertain them.
 The only tinge of regret in my visit was it made me feel bit old. to find that the bright, charming young bachelor friends who used to show me a good time are now the substantial business men of Anniston. It was hard to realize that Crook, Goodwin. Weatherly. Sprouell, Young, Davis, McElroy, Willett and a host of others were married and some with grown children.

 TAKING CARE NOT
 TO OVERLOOK THINGS
 Harry Ayres is very senslbly not losing his head in The Star by trying to work up any unwarranted inf1auon, but he is doing everything in his power to get Annistonians to see their present oppor- tunity and realize on it in a. healthy and legitimate business way. He was big enough without any suggestion on my part to speak a good word for The Age although he knew that I was there to try and get some business out of the city.
 Now I am going to try and tell you just how Anniston impressed me, not as newspaper man who has to make copy, but as a man who really went about with open eyes and wishes to make you see as vividly as possible what most at tracted his attention.
 ANNISTON FOUNDERS
 OF HEROIC MOLD
 I have known Anniston for about 30 years. It did not just grow up as many places do without thought or planning but came into being because men of vis- ion studied it's situation, and went to work to make it model city.
 l am afraid that the promoter never gets his just dues as a developer. It Is true that many of them have led friends into perilous financial ventures. but if somebody did not have faith and dar- ing, many of our greatest achievements in city building would never have been realized
 But the men who had 1t in their minds to found Anniston were more than mere promoters. they were sane, level-headed far-seeine men of daring and means, who had it within their power to get behind a big city building project and make 1t a success
 Less than twoscore years ago the place upon which Anniston now stands was little more than wide place in the road. and the old Woodstock iron mill was it's only industry but when its foun- ders, Samuel Noble and Alfred Tyler. got sight of it they made up their minds that they would make 1t city of industries, school, churches and beautiful homes.
 Yes, it took courage. for 1t takes more than scenery to make town. They looked about them and found that there were deposits of minerals, plenty of water for factories and home consump- tion, lovely sites for residences and plenty of space for industrial enterprises and that it could be easily reached IS ANNISTON

 Automobiles were ditched, many others were disabled, the blowouts sounded like the rattle of musketry and all civilities of the road were called off It was every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost
 ARMY MEN IN THEIR
 TEMPORARY QUARTERS
 The army men had taken charge of their temporary Headquarters mere wooden sacks hurriedly built to keep out the weather.
 They had not the dignity of a country cross-road stores and looked from the , outside about as free from business, but once on the inside the change was most perceptible for business-like men in uni form were dispatching business in a most business-like way.
 Quiet men of authority without the least excitement were ordering thou sands of dollars worth of supplies from Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham and other cities Laugh at system and red tape as much as you please. but the army knows what it wants and sets about to get 1t with as little delay as possible.
 The hot air salesman loses his enthusi- asm when he has to come down to meet government specifications, and realizes that men who know will check up when his stuff arrives. There is no confusion at headquarters. The men in charge know the days work to be done and go about it without haste or waste of time. HASTE AND CONFUSION AMONG CONTRACTORS If you wanted to see the difference be- tween the way the government carried on its business and the way the average n fad ic to get out of sight of the trained officers and step few yards away to where pri- vate contractors were pushing and fight ing and wrangling to get anything started or finished.
 The noise of saw and hammer was heard in camp, for over POGO carpenters were busy at work. They say lot of men turned up claiming to be carpenters who didn't even have a hammer to show that they were, but no man who could saw or nail was turned away. for every mans help was needed. for contracts had time limits and every moment was val uable
 I saw carpenters with tool boxes going and coming, Some of the contractors have good organizations and are used to handling big contracts.

For the lack Of homes is one Of
Americas fundamental weaknesses.
1t goes hand in hand with our lack OF
