SCHOOLS OPEN TODAY With LARGE ENROL LlNENT
''Clean-Up" Squad
Coming Here Oct. 8
To Help Ex-Service Men Get Salts
factory Adjustment of Claims.

The Cleanup Squad sent out by
Government agencies, the Red Cross
and the American Legion arrives in
Fitzgerald on October the 9Th and
will establish headquarters at the
Court House. The squad will re-
main here until October 18th during
which time, the members will work
with one end in view and that is to
get in touch with every exservice
man, who has a claim against the
government, and set in motion the
machinery to get quick and satisfac-
tory adjustment of that claim.
The paramount idea of the Clean
up Squad is tc cut red tape that has
prevented hundreds of disabled vet.
Grams and eXsorvice men in general
from receiving the compensation that
the government Is glad to give. In
this work the Red Cross and the Lc-
gion have every assurance from the
government of complete and whole
hearted cooperation.
Under the plan or campaign, the
Squad composed of experts who are
thoroughly familiar with every detail
of the workings of the War Risk In
surance Act and the Vocational Re-
habitilation Act, will get in personal
touch with evry man who has claim
or who thinks he may have a claim.
take up his case as an individual prop
osiiton, avoid lengthy and nerve wreck
ing correspondence and get results.
With that thought in view the
Squad will visit centers in every state
in the Southeast and before the cam
paign is concluded, every county in
the section will be covered. 1t is
believed that by bringing this oppor-
tunity right to the doors of the veter-
ands every man entitled to compen-
sation, will get it and get it speedily
The Squad furnishes the big op-
portunity for the veteran to have
Strengthened out all his difficulties Of
i compensation and vocational training
and medical treatment right at home
1t is, as well, the chance of many
to find out if they have claims if they
have, to get them filed properly. SC
that response will be satisfactory and
immediate
To reduce trouble, delay, and ex-
pense to a minimum, the Squad will
furnish each disabled veteran, who
reports at Squad headquarters, with
transportation back home and meals,
and lodging until his business is COM
pleted.
While the squad is here, it will take
up in addition to the affairs of local
veterans, the affairs of exservice men
in Tiff, Irwin, Turner, Ben Hill Tel
fair and Jeff Davis Counties.

Scarcity Of Homes
Shown In Atlanta
Moving Day Finds Capital City Folk
Still Underhoused

ATLANTA, Sep. 5th-There are
apartments for rent in Atlanta now
at the beginning of this new leasing
year, but not many of them. There
are practically no desirable homes
for rent There are few large
homes, chiefly of the class suited for
boarding houses, available but not a
great many of them.
: Rents have been reduced but not
by any means to prewar figures. In
large proportion of the fashionable
apartments on the North Side leases
have been signed at the same figures
as of the last year. In many of the
moderate-priced apartments the hoped
for-reduction in rents has taken place
but it has been small. In few in
stances probably not more than ten,
rentals have increased.
Real estate dealers estimated the
average reduction in rents on all the
apartments in the city at about ten
per cent. One estimate of 20 per
cent was made. The average reduc-
ton was $40 month. 1t ranged
from $3.50 month in many instances
to SIS month in few instances.
The increases were $10month in most
cases. Rents on one apartment were
icreased from $85 to 500.
And so the annual moving day ar
rived yesterday with Atlanta still
underhoused, much shifting about
from apartment to apartment. but
still not enough homes for the popu-
la-'on of the city. Probably as many
as 5000 families were moving. For
the last three days and nights furni-
ture vans and trucks have rumbled
through the streets.
AT this time last year Our firm did
not have one apartment listed for
rent" said oFrest Adair of the Adair
Realty and Trust Company, one of
the largest real estate firms III Attain
ia and the oldest firm of its kind in
tic United States. "This year on
September 1st we have vacancies that
amount to about 5 per cent of the
total number of apartments rented
through this firm. At this time last
year it was impossible to get into the
popular high class apartments, this
year there are openings in some of
them. Many of the desirable apart
ments are leased throughout The
vacancies are scattered with one ar
two vacancies in certain buildings.

Business Improves
Reports All Show
Experts Make Careful Survey Many
Directions Resumption OF In
dustrial Life Near At Hand

ATLANTA, Sept 5-To the OBJ
servant man, business conditions the
country over, as we'll as in Georgia
and throughout the South. are improv-
ing, according to business experts
here. In other worls, it is stated
they are getting better as the days
go BY To return to normally as
was expected by those in close touch
with business affairs, has been grad
Imal, nevertheless it is coming on sure
ply, it is stated in business circles here
For months past, it is pointed out
here the country has been confronted
with questions that have been hard
to answer, or even to conjecture the
soution. Business men have been
asked when are better times? Is there
any real foundation for the loose talk
about the hardest winter we ever had
just ahead of us? Are the approaching
months going to bring us to the SOUP
and the poor house? Is there going to
ever be resumption of industrial ac-
tivity?
Joel Hunter OF Atlanta, expert bus
mess counsellor, has taken the pains
for several weeks to make a careful
study of the conditions as they have
existed for several months of depress-
ed business condition. He has exam
ined every source of information at
his hands in an effort to arrive at a
conclusion as to whether times and
conditions were improving or not.
He has put the question to hundreds
rof businessmen and government Off
Gals, and with them the concensus of
opinion is they are.
Governmental bodies and econom.
ic and industrial experts at Washing
ton, men who keep their fingers on
the business pulse of the nation. year
in and year out, as does Mr.. Hunter
in his work, are of the opinion that
times are getting better, and that the
country IS on the eve of greater
season of industrial activity and bus
mess prosperity TINA ever before.
The indications are certainly plain
that the autumn and winter will see
a gradual resumption of industrial
life" said Mr.. Hunter, ct will be
slow, it is true, but the trenu is up
ward and without doubt will continue
until the peak of prosperity has again
been reached, after which it is natural
that decline may Gomez
Perhaps the most positive indica-
ton of return to normally of men go
ig back to. work, the decrease in un.
employment. The railroads which
have been in the dumps for many
months are beginning to feel the eff
feet of changed conditions. it is
stated in railroad circles here.

George Kilcrease, Jr., narrowly es-

under the car driven by Mrs. S. l.
Smith, at the intersection of Pine and
Main streets. The child was follow
ing another car and had turned to go
to the sidewalk, when Mrs. Smith re-
allied his danger, she suddenly put on
all brakes and stopped within a few
feet. The child was thrown under the
car and thus escaped any injuries,
except a decided scare, which may
be a lesson to him in the future. Ev-
