JOY RIDE PIKE
LETTER ANSWERED
A Taxpayer Takes Issue With
the Argument Submitted by
Mr.. Amos, and Claims That
Building of ST. Simon High
way Will be a Great Thing
For GIynn County and the En-
tire State

The following letter was handed
The News yesterday for publication
in reply to the "Joy-ride Pike COM
munication by Mr.. Amos yesterday,
in regard to the use of $175,0OO bond
issue fund for the building of the St
Simon highway and bridges. The re-
ply was written by a well.known citi-
zen and taxpayer, and is another
strong endorsement of the proposal
for the county to build the ST. Simon
highway. The letter follows:
MIR. Editor: After reading the
communication from Mr.. Amos, of
Sterling, Ca, expressing his disap
prevail of the plan suggested by one of
our successful business men to build
d highway to st. Simon Island. it calls
to my mind a saying that "some folks
would kick if they were playing foot
ball" 1t does not matter who saws
anything, or what they say, there is
always someone that will express "a.
disapproval. We must admit. that
there are two sides to every question
and it is perfectly natural for some
one to take the other side.
Let us look at the st. Simon's high
way as a business proposition: as an
investment, for which Glynn county
and the state of Georgia will be repaid
the cost of construction many times
and over again. We Brunswickians
do not have any selfish motives in
mind. We want our friends, and our
friends friends from all over the state
of Georgia and ether states, to come to
st. Simon. and Long Island and enjoy
the blessings to be had there. We
want Mr.. Amos to ride over and min
gle with his Macon, Savannah and At
lanta friends.
The sum and substance of the
whole proposition in a nut shell is |
simply this: build the Joy Road over
the Marshes of Glynn and then it |
will be Joy to put the, county roads |
in good repair. We must and We will |
the highway regardless of |
the cost.
Come on! Wake up! Let's go!

Special to Tho Chieftain

Special to Tho Chicftain:
Alamosa, Feb. 19.-"God's Challenge
for Volunteer Christian Soldiery"
was the theme of a powerful discourse,
touching modcrn-day conditions, de-
liverod at the First Methodist church
last Sabbath by District Superintcnd-
ont Charles w. Hancher of Pueblo to n
large and appreciative audience.
DIR. Hnncher based his remarks up
on the building of the temple as re-
corded in Chronicles. and, after relnt-
ing the historical Incidents in this
connection, spoke in part as follows:
God is challenging the world-tho
men and women In the world today
for volunteer Christian soldiery:. to
Consccrate themselves and their sor-
vices unto God. The lesson l have
read has its modern-day intcrprots-
ton: q. is this-that the Kingdom of
God is impcrilcd. and since this is so.
God is asking for consccratcd men
ard women to come TO tho rescue OF
the Kingdom of God Listen, men
and women: Lot us put 1t over In the
subjunctive. II God is the power VIC
know Him to be, then the Kingdom
is never impcrilcd My idea Is this:
1t is not so much that the Kingdom of
God is impcriled. as the destiny and
tho character of mon and women. boys
and girls are imperiled, and there
foro God is asking for n volunteer
soldlcry to come to tho rescue of the
impcrilcd condition OF these men and
women. boys and girls when VIC
look Mt II from that viewpoint. we can
see there is an Interpretation we can
believe.
Political economists tell us that
every man Ia expected to give n use
ful and approved service to his coun-
try for his family and himself. There
is no place today in the economy OF
tho world for tho tramp; there is no
place in society for tho man who is
indolcnt: tho man who is negligent:
there is no place for tho man who
would live of OF tho labor OF another
man while he is indolent, wasting his
time We believe that this Is true.
Every man must of necessity find his
place in the catalog of vocations. Tho
man who does not do that is not
worthy the name man. Most are do
ing that, proving their citizenship,
straiEhtforwardncss. doing their part
In this great country OF ours. At the
same time. those who bave found
their places are hearing n voice
laundering from the throne OF God:
who are willing to come TO the rescue
Of the men and women. boys and girls
impcrilod in their characters and dcs-
tiuies?' The challenge comes to each
one of us.

CITY DRIFT IS
LARGELY DUE TO
WEAK SCHOOLS

Chicago, H., Feb 19-Poor rural
schools are responsible for large part
of the huge national drift of farm
people to the cities and the first step
in making effective back to the
land" movement is to give country
teachers extra pay according to the in
convenienccs and hardships they un-
dergo in their work This is the gist
of report made to the American Fed
GRAFTON of Teachers by Field Secretary
Josephine Colby here today.
'One of the main reasons for the
desertion of farms by young and for
ward looking married couples is that
country schools cannot compare, under
existing condition with city schools
in giving children opportunity for de-
velopment," she said. "A survey of
the situation shows that even now
when unemployment and wage cuts are
more prevalent in the cities there has
been no corresponding slump in the
shift of the rural poplation to the ur-
ban centcrs. Country and small town
schools continue to grow worse because
their trained teachers go to the larger
cities where higher pay prevails and
because the teachers they secure are
far moro poorly prepared than ever be-
fore.
Since the teacher shortage became
so acute the large cities have surpassed
the rural districts in raising salaries
with the result that they have drawn
practically all the competent teachers
away from he little red school house.
The average salary of teachers in one
room rural schools is less than 5000 per
year. Tennessee, for instance, has an
average of S25S per teacher yearly and
l5 states rank below that. Pennsyl-
vania reports lack of rs per cent in
rural and elementary teachers. This

"Crepe Ring" of
Saturn Has 1000
Miles Thickness

! Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 19.-The
inner ring OF the planet Saturn, known
to astronomers as the crepe ring" on
account OF tho fact that II is much less
brilliant than the others. has thick
ness of 1000 miles. while the other
rings are very much thinner. accord
ing TO observations made by Professor
William H. Pickering of Harvard at
the Harvard Astronomical Station at
Vaudeville, Jamaica
Tho thickness of tho rings OF Saturn
is a matter which has long attracted
tho interest of astronomers. This
planet Is surrounded by what appears
thru small telescope to be a single
flat ring in reality three concentric
rings
y Every sixteen years or so the earth
passes thru the plane of these rings,
which are then in n position edsewise
TO the earth. So thin are they that
for a while they disappear and can
not be seen until the earth moves out
Of their plane. This phenomenon oc-
cured on November 7 and will occur
again on February 20 and August of
this year. after which there will be-
no opportunity OF observing 1t again
for sixteen years.
Professor Pickering reports that he
observed the rings just before and
after the November transit, and found
the Inner ring to bo thicker than tho
others. estimating II TO be 1000 miles
thick. He also reports that in tho
outer edge OF the second ring tho
meteors seem TO be moro coccntratcd
than elsewhere.
Astronomers believe these rings to
bo composed OF innumerable small
mcteors revolving in dense swarms
about tho middle portions OF the plan
ct.
Professor Pickering hopes to make
future observations during the Febru-
airy transit. He Is also engaged in
studying tho canals on tho planet Mars
and I'm searching for the still undis-
covered planet which is believed to
rcvolvc around the sun far outside tho
orbit OF Neptune. the outcrmost planet
yet discovered in the solar system.
