'Pa,1sy" Of Duff Family Entered Today
In The NelDs Length Service Contest
"Faithful" Bill Has Served
First Baptist Church for
TWenty-Seven Years.
LOYAL SERVANTS ERE
Flood of Entries Indicates
That Help Problem Is
Exaggerated.

An admirer OF the Duffs has en-
tered "Pansy.' their faithful negro
servant in the Length of Service
Contest" We are not sure Just how
long Pansy's record of service Is, but
we feel sure that it entities her to
honorable mention, at least.
Another interesting entry is that
of Faithful BILL" janitor of the First
Baptist church, who has been In bis
place for twenty seven years.
Besides being faithful about his
duties in keeping the church in fine
condition, William has served as
nurse all these years, and proudly
points to different groups now active
in business and professional life as
'chiluns dat he helped to raise"
writes DIR. e. B. Wise.
Letters like this and others which
have appeared in The News Length
OF Service Contest" lead one to be-
lieve that the servant problem has
been greatly over-rated, at least in
the south. There seem to be num-
bers of homes in Chattanooga where
the relation between employer and
servant is marked by genuine affec-
ton.
