Editor Times-RecOrder - In pre-
senting you with copy Of the Roam
oke World-NeWs, containing a short
communication, giving as the writer
thought a conservative description of
some the superior advantages Of this
section of the Great Southland, little
did he think your editorship would
presume to sidetrack the motives of
the writer in such strong language
and butcher his communication. If
you had published the communication
as requested, emitting the unauthoriz-
ed comments, much space as we'll as
the unsavored criticism would have
been saved
In describing the thermometer reg
istrations of the summer heat in Am
CIRCUS, the writer was guided wholly
by the thermometer located in his
own front porch, which up to the
date Of the communication first
written to the Roanoke paper, had
not registered above "a degrees. In
reference to the number of cars of
peaches shipped from this section,
beg leave to refer YOU to Mr.. r. K.
Lee, of Rochelle, Ga, and a number
of other reliable Georgia citizens
that will confirm the writer's state

able from strictly financial stand
point. He expressed the opinion
based on investigator nthat the pro-
posed bonds would he retired within
five years or possibly earlier, and
that the income from the venture
would also create a sinking fund for
the improvement and maintenance Of
the playground.

" to endorse the movement and 10
lend any aid desired to bring about
the success Of the Playground asso-
citation in building the swimming pool.
A committee of ten was appointed
TO confer wit hcommittees of a ike
number from the Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs to put over the sale Of the baby
bonds on Monday and Tuesday Of
next week.
At the conclusion of his tall. Mr..
Cargill extended an invitation to the,
members of the club to attend buff
fet supper at Playground next Tues
da yevening at o'clock This was
accepted.
DR.. Carl Minor was guest of the
club and spoke entertainingly Of the
pleasure he has experienced in close
association with the business men Of
the city which has been made pos
sible by the civic club organizations.
