NEW SCHOOL BUS
Supt. Jenkins Proposes Service to
 Aid Putnam Heights Children

At the June meeting of the town school committee plan for having Il bus run each morning and afternoon along the killingly road as far as the David Clark place to accommodate these school children who live on Put nam Heights or on the kiiiingiy road and attend the high school here, was discussed, but no action was taken. If this project Is adopted, II VIII De put in operation next fall. It is planned to have seventh grade children as well as those of the high school, attend school in Putnam, since the seventh grade facilities are greater here than they could possibly be on the Heights. 1t is not considered feasible to run the bus of the state highway because of the bad condition of the country roads in winter and spring.
 Mrs. Alice F. Cronln was elected as teacher of the second grade Tn the Sawyer district school for next year. Mrs. Cronin is a graduate of the Hingham, Mass, high school and has been assisting Miss Edith Fox at the Sawyer school this past year. She plans to take Yale University sum mer course this year.
 The complete repainting of the trade school building was the most important of the repairs and altera- tions voted for this summer. The building will be painted both on the inside and out. The re-decoration of the assembly halls at the high school and the Israel Putnam school IS also a part of the program. A total of 2o0 desks in the high school, Israel fut- nam and Smith Street schools will also be repaired

 Last weeks missing word was a puzzler Not everybody made the correct selection, nor did every body fail. If the contest was made so easy that everybody could guess correctly the missing word, there would be no contest; there would be no fun in taking part in the contest and there would be little honor for the winner, aside from being award ed the cash prizes.
 So don't be discouraged if you did not happen to name the missing word correctly last week or the week be- fore. If you name all the rest cor rectly, you may be the winner after all. Who knows? Certainly we can not look that far into the future and make any prediction of any sort.

Two Cars Damaged by
Cylinders in the Street
Mr.. R. r. Jones Auta Struck While
Parked Some Distance Off.

Two automobiles were considerably
damaged Sunday night when Ford,
driven by Mr.. Frank Vim, crashed
into one of the heavy steel cylinders
used for street intersection markers,
near the fire department. The wind
shield of his car was completely shat
tered and the whole front of the car
was badly smashed.
The 850-pound cylinder did not con-
fine its destruction to the car which
struck it but being overturned it roll
Jed down Main street for some distance
and crashed into the rear of an auto
mobile belonging to Mr. R. r. Jones,
demolishing a wheel and otherwise
damaging the body and frame of the
car
Hardly a week passes without an
accident by people smashing into the
heavy cylinders. On several occasions
these markers, weighing nearly half
ton, have rolled down the street and
placed innocent autoists and pedes-
trians in a precarious position. A
movement is now under way to have
the cylinders replaced by modern
lighted markers. The matter will be
taken up at the next meeting OF the
city council

The Postohce Had a
Very Busy Christmas Day
Volume of Mail Larger Than in Pre-
vious Years. Was Well Handled.

1t required over two hours to dis
tribute the city mail on Christmas eve
morning, and the combined efforts OF
the regular force and several extra
helpers to do it in that time. Cecil
Brown, high average man in the re-
cent civil service examination, was
called as the only extra help, but the
parcels and letters came in such huge
quantities that substitute rural car
riers took the places of several OF the
regular carriers and these men were
pressed into service in the Office.
1t could hardly seem possible, judg
ing from the great wagon loads OF
mail which arrived on every train,
that single person in the county
would be without one or more Christ
mas gifts. The spirit this year was
much better than in several years
previous, and reminded one of old
times when everybody remembered
everybody else with gift on Christ
mas day.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
WERE WELL ATTENDED
SPLENDID PROGRAM DEPICT
ING THE NATIVITY OF THE
CHRIST GIVEN THURSDAY.

Despite the extreme cold weather
large audience enjoyed the Christ
mas carols at the Methodist church on
Thursday night Those present pro-
nounced the entertainment wonderful,
and the contributions came up to ev-
cry expectation.
The entertainment was under the
direction of Mrs M. H. Harper and
Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, and the sing
ers were selected from large num-
Der of the best voices in this vicinity.
The program was most pleasing with
variety of choruses and solos, while
the setting was very attractive and
appropriate. The affair was sponsor
ed by the Wesley Bible class of the
Methodist church and the Margaret
Tweedy class Of the Baptist church.
All the participants are to be com
plimented upon the splendid manner
in which they did their parts, while
the directors deserve good share OF
praise for the efficient manner in
which they produced the program.
The funds derived from the carols
will be given to the Georgia Children's
Home Society.
