"WTHERE" is always
w the first question
about a h m e.
On the in ide, your
home is largely. what you
make it; but on the out
side it is largely what
other people make it. To
get the right surround.
ings, the right neighbors,
the right influences for
your children, you must
make your home in the
place where those sur
roundings. and influences
are.
North Broad Street and
the Old York Road come
together at the top of a
long hill rising from
Logan Station. This hill
is crowned by the stately
buildings an d beautiful
grounds of the Widener
Memorial Home, now bril-
liant with autumn flowers.
Along it's southern border,
from Broad Street to
Fifteenth. runs Somerville
Avenue, and on this lovely
southern slope, facing the
H o m e grounds on the
north, Broad Street and
York Road on the east and
Wakefield P ark on the
west, is this new group of
HAMILTON HOMES.
Can you imagine a finer
site or more charming
surroundings? Yet these
modern homes, with in
closed porches, the best
plumbing and heating and
a complete garage in every
house, are not beyond the
reach of moderate means,
but are for sale at reason
able prices and on easy
terms, the figures ranging
from $10,500 upward.
Come and see >them-indeed,
we might say, STOP and see
them-for the thousands who
pass in motors up and down
Broad Street, or on the troll
ley cars to and from Willow
Grove, or on the Reading lines
through Wayne Junction, have
only to stop off here and look
about them. Whether or not
you find your future home
here, you will be we'll repaid
for the visit.
And before you decide, you
will want to see another group
of new Hamilton Homes, on
the Roosevelt Boulevard near
Rising Sun Avenue. These
delightful houses are of the
English type, with inclosed
porches front and back, and
every house has a complete
two-car garage, with concrete
service drive in the rear.
No one able to buy a modern
home at a moderate price can
afford to choose without first
seeing these Hamilton Homes.

GIVEN FOR SITUATION
The Belief Is Expressed That
Full Supply Wal Not be Avail
able in Brunswick for Sixty
Days. Price to be High
Then.

Out of the vistas of the gladly for
gotten wartime past, has arisen a
troublesome shadow which comes in
the form of a critical sugar famine,
which is staring in the face OF city,
county, state and nation. The Brnns-
wick situation, briefly summed up is
that the supply of the product is ex-
what is more there is no indication as
to when the condition will be removed
While wholesalers will lay hands on
a sack or several sacks here and there
these will fall short of meeting the
actual demands and the people may
as well get down once more to mea-
ger wartime rations or for that matter
prepare substitutes which with the
nation is more thoroughly familiar.
As usual reasons that would tax the
multiplication table are given, but no
two are alike, and the question the
innocent consumer wants to know is
What is the cause of it, and who is
responsible?' but no one it seems can
furnish an authoritive reply.
For many days now the people have
been clamoring for sugar and the only
answer they could get is that there is
none to be hadl 1t is no longer a Ques-
tion of price or profiteering, bat rat1-
er a problem of acute shortage.
Wholesalers and retailers in the city
are all at loss as to when they can
secure any, for anxious consumers.
c. A. Ayriett of Lott-Lewis Co. says
that their supply has run out. He at
tributes not to any speculation on the
part of refiners but rather the failure
of government officials to contract
with Cuba interests at the proper time.
Gas result CubaIS growers have
closed contracts outside of this coun-
try" said Mr.. Averett.
J. J. Lissner, wholesale dealer. inti-
mated that the problem was too diff
cult one for him to even attempt to
discuss He merely said, speaking in
genial, but positive manner: Il do
not know the cause of the shortage;
what is more, I do not believe any
body knows-except." he added, ''pos-
sibly the refiners may know"
From what is believed to be reiia-
BILE sources it has been learned that
sugar will probably reach Brunswick
July or August in comparatively sub
stantial quantities. but it will sell for
at least 80 cents per pound. Authori-
tive information is to the effect that
the wholesale price will be somewhere
around 2S cents.
According to the rulings of the De-
partment of Justice, through the State
Fair Price Commission. the whole
saler may sell at not more than l l,2
cents profit. while the. retailers profit
on the product must not be over 8
cents.

Atlanta, Ca, May 1.-The growing
unrest in Georgia on the part of both
corporations and individuals. over the
federal income tax law and its require.

so few persons und its terms

comparatively few persons, it is stat

Business men here declare that the
federal income tax law is of great I'M
portance to more people than any 9th

books That is the reason why, say
these business men. ther, is growing

because the general run of the ae-

CHURCH APPROVES
NEWS EDITORIAL
HEAD OF GEORGIA VENEER &
PACKAGE CO. TALKS ON BOARD
OF TRADE MATTER

The following letter from Mr.. A.
L. Church, president of the Georgia
Veneer & Package Company is self
explanatory. The News does not gen
orally give publication to such letters
But is so intensely interested in the
success of the Board of Trade and
feeling that the letter of Mr. Church
will have its weight, it is giving space
TO the communication, which follows:
Mr. C. H. Leavyr
Editor,
City.
Dear Sir:
/ want to congratulate you and
thank you for the very able editorial
in the Morning News of April 2Sth, on
the injunction proceedings instituted
by citizen and directed against the
Board of Trade and it's officers.
There has been more general COM
mendation of this editorial by the citi-
zens than will come to your ears, but
its approval is practically unanimous.
The community and its trade bodies
must have the endorsement of the
press to get the desired results. Yonr
editorial was of the kind needed. and
had the proper 'punch" to mold a sen
timent among the citizens that will en-
courage and strengthen the snirit OF
the officers and members OF the trade
body in their efforts for the common
good of the. community
Yours truly,
