HIGH SCHOOL GOING
AFTER HONORS
(From Saturdays Daiixl

We CLEAN FROM The columns of
this Woodworking outpost of prog
ress and prepayment of possibilities
that the Fitzgerald High School
intends to cut a wide swath, which
is the vernacular means "be some
pun kins," at the district high
school meeting this Spring. One
OF the instructors has started the
young hopefuls of the harder sex
to digging the dirt with their toes
in track practice. The boys and
girls of histrionic bent have cot
together in live literary society
in which the organs and Demos
thenians Of the future can soar
and soar to their hearts content,
and the Mary Gardens of tomor-
row can give their talents plenty
of exercise. And the music teach
ers are taking the fairy fingered
damosels into frequent executive
session to develop a ticker of
ivory keys who with the exotic
beauty of her music will WOO a
golden medal from the flinty
hearts of the contest judges. And
business generally is picking up
/ around old Fitz-Hi.
All, little one,as the savants
say, that is the stuff. Even if
Fitzgerald High School hasn't
got an auditorium it has got some
Young folks that, if they want to
bad enough. can make the walls
OF an auditorium in some ones
else school house prick up their
ears and say swell I'll be gosh
dinged, amt that just plumb
nice w--- at least that is what an
auditorium wall would probably
say if its language were that of its
usual occupants. And the chan
delier would reply, "I'l say it is"
and the chairs would just natur-
ally shimmy with delight. But
all that is, of course, just posi-
bilities, we aren't saying for fact
that itSwould happen.
Just the same, it would certain
ly be great if Fitzgerald High
School could this year again
start carrying home the laurels
that once were its annual portion.
We believe the school is awake,
the high school news Ralph Cob
en- is serving up to our readers
certainly points that way. Good
work, keep it up, and more
strength to you, folks. We need
your help too ia putting Fitzger-
aid 81 the map III big red letters.

PRESIDENT HARDING
IN WAGE CONTROVERSY
(From Saturdays Daily)

The Leader was informed over
long distance telephone last night
that President Harding had been
asked by the United States Board
OF Medi alton to take a hand in
the A. B. and A. wage controver-
sy. President Harding, in spite
of his loyal Democratic traducers,
is no small man. No small man
ever grew even moderately we'll
to-do out of a small town news
paper, nor won an election as one
of the two senator's from the great
state of Ohio. President Harding
knows a lot and thinks straight.
1--WE never cheated you," Pres
ident Warren G. Harding is said
to have told his men, with tears
streaming down his cheeks, when
his employees on the Marion Star
gathered around to congratulate
him on his election to the high
est political office on the Earth.
Boys, I've played fair with you
here and I'll play fair with you
in Washington" was the senti-
ment the great Ohioan seemed to
express to the men who had wor->
ked for him and with whom he
had worked.
He has gone to Washington,
with union card in his pocket.
He has never cheated yet. We
believe he will still play fair.
I've never cheated you," he
said that chill morning in Novem-
Der, 1920. Oh, that he may prove
faithful now. What interests con-
tributed most of the 100000 it
cost to elect Warren G. Harding
president the Leader does not
know. What strings were tied
to him when the people" put him
in office we don't know. We can
only hope that Warren G. Har-
ding is as strong a man as he
looks to be, and as big man as
he has seemed before.
God save America from a pup
pet president today, or a president
that cheats"

THE HIGH SCHOOL
AUDITORIUM PLAN
(By Mrs. Geo. w. Brown)
chairman Woman's Club
Auditorium Committee)
(From SATURDAYS Dailv)

The need of an Auditorium and
new class rooms for the High School
is so we'll known to all connected
with the school that it seems almost
like carrying Goals to Newcastle" to
call attention to it; but as good cause
gains by publicity it may not be amiss
to ask all the citizens of Fitzgerald
TO keep the matter in mind, talk it
over in the family, and discuss it with
the neighbors.
1t is the purpose of the ,Ei'u Coun-
OF uo!leonpd 10 pIeod gu, pue 10
build an Auditorium that will seat at
least 1900 people, there will be stage
and all that pertains thereto; the &C
coustic properties will be carefully
considered, so that this building will
not have the disadvantage that are
found where this has not been plan
ned beforehand; and it is also the pur-
pose of the gentlemen to have this
done before school begins next Sep
TENDER.
Six More Class Rooms
The addition necessary for the
Auditorium will furnish space probab-
ly for six class rooms, and the High
School building is to be put in good
repair while the other work is going
on. All of this will furnish employ.
ment to many which is not one o.
the least benefits the town will gair
from it.
The school, to give good service
needs all thes things as much as the
human body needs proper food tc
keep it in good health.
If the boys and girls now in schoo
and those who have graduated in the
past five or six years could tell of the
crowded condition, lack of desk room
and seats, anrrow crowded isles, ant
general confusion for which there was
no remedy, you would not hesitate MOI
consider the inadvisability of building
No! You would think only of how
soon the defects could be remedied.
So far l have spoken only of the
absolute needs of the school, Il
might be well to think OF the benefit:
we shall have that have heretofor,
been impossible.
A real High School Chorus and Or
chestra; necessities from time to time
that will be an inspiration and de-
light good speakers who will tell us Of
the world, and give us new viewpoints
and longing for better things. And ali
the while the love of beauty, harmony
and order will be steadily growing in
the minds and hearts of the boys and

DON'T EMBARRASS YOUR

FRIENDS There has been some
talk of asking Fitzgerald mer-
chants who are in sympathy with
the strikers to post their show
windows with mo Scabs Allow
ed" In the interest of the strik-
ers, and taking into full consid-
Grafton all possible benefit that
could be obtained from such a
course, the Leader would suggest
that such action would be unwise.
In the Leaders opinion there
are only two sides" to this ques-
tons sympathy with the men or
neutrality is justified. A man in
is third side, that Of sympathy
with the operators. We haven't
seen that yet. On that side we
can only see government owner
ship. In many cases, however,
eutrality is justified. A man in
business bears a heavy burden.
Business, especially small bust
ness like that of most Fitzgerald
business men, is often a discour-
aging proposition.
While many business men
must be at heart thoroughly in
sympathy with the strikers, they
would indeed be shortsighted and
disregardful of their own best in
terests iif they did not want the
unions to win, it would be unjust
for their union friends to ask them
to make a commitment that would
certainly make it harder for them
to get along.
Most business men in Fitzger-
aid are willing, quitely, to do al
most anything they can for the
strikers. Many have made gener-
Gus offers of credit and support.
The men KNOW who their
friends are NOW. The mere
placing of sign in a window
would not make any merchant a
b etter friend to the strikers. 1t
would certainly embarras him and
make his hard fight harder. The
Leader knows what sacrifice it
is. The Leader would not like to
see its business friends have to
make the sacrifice.
