Mr.. America Sets
Standard for AdO1iSeS
MAKES GIRLS
HEARTSFLUTTER
Winford S. Turner Awarded Title
of Mr.. America By Judges in
Recent Contest

NASH "A, n. H. Oct. 23.-Oh,
girls!
If the display of feminine Charms
at the Atlantic City beauty pageant
resulted in bedazzlement and eye
train for the men, there should be at
least a fluttering of girlish hearts
when Mr.. America promenades by.
Mr.. America is none other than
Winford S. Turner of this city. Troy
had its Helen, Carthage had its Dido,
Alexandria had its Cleopatra and
Nashua-now that a committee of
doctors over at Manchester awarded
the golden apple-has its Mr. Amer
lea.
Turner is the absolutely 100 per
cent American" according to the
judges. From the delicate curve of
his pink ear to his muscular but we'll
pedicured great toe, he is the acme
of physical perfection. In health,
face, figure and spirit, he is the me
plus ultra.
Getting down to details-which
may be clipped and pasted in the
vanity case as a standard by which
to judge other men-here are the
statistics on Mr.. America:
Age-26; height 5 feet inches /;
weight - 1873 pounds; chest - SO
inches normal, 40 inches expanded;
thigh % inches; waist-39 inches /;
ankle 8 1-2 inches; wrist 1-2
inches neck-12 inches.
Turner is dark complexioned and
has dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
His nose is Roman.
He is an alumnus of the Nashua
High school and was an honor man
there in both athletics and scholar
ship. Also he is a veteran of the
World War. He is employed now by
a large manufacturing concern here.
His hobby, off the job, is the col
lection of antiques.
Here is how he got that way:

MERCER STARTS
new COURSES
Extension Courses Designed to
Aid Teachers in the Country
Organized at Mercer

MACON, Ga. Oct. 26.- Not the
student going to college, but the col
lege going to the student is the way
that it will be if an extension depart
ment, recently organized at Mercer
university proves to be a success.
The extension courses are designed
to aid the teachers in the country
schools of Georgia. They may teach
their schools during the week, and
then go to college on Saturdays with
out leaving their counties.
The secret of the course is that
DR.. Peyton Jacob, dean of the school
of Education at Mercer, and his
corps of assistants journey to the
various county seats on Saturday
and hold classes there. College
credit is given for the work.
&C, ovding to DR.. Jacob, who first
organized the course, there is q
real advantage over the correspond
cnce course where there are number
OF teachers in the county. By the eX-
tension method, the teachers gain in.
dividual instruction from the profes.
sors instead of teaching by mail.
At the prestent time there are
only two such extensions. One is in
Butts County and the other is in
Bleckley County, but at the various
county teachers associations or
ganize and the demand arises, Other
extensions will be made.

BE NOT AFRAID
JOYNER'S TOPIC
Delivers Strong Sermon at First
Christian Church Sunday
Morning
By r. II. RINER
News Editor Times-RecOrder


Using the first eleven verses of
the 18th chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles as his scripture, and "Be
Not Afaid" as his subject, Rev. W.
A. Joyner, pastor, was heard at the
First Christian Church at the morn
ing hour of worship.
In the opening of his discourse,
Rev. Joyner named the different
forms of fear that the people of to-
day experienced, and in reverting to
his scriptur elesson said tina Paul was
not afraid, but discouraged when he
saw that the Jews were rejecting the
gospel of Christ. He stated that Paul
knew that the gospel was not finding
lodging in the heart of his hearers,
that the seed was not being sown on
fertile ground. Further in his SER
mon Rev. Joyner said that, "When
we see the bright minds of this world
refuse the gospel of Christ it dis
courages US, we become fearful. 1t
was in that manner that Paul was
fearful. He was fearful that his
teaching would come to naught."
He mentioned the fact that since
the Jews had refused Christ and His
gospel, that the Gentiles are spread
ing, and have been fer years, the
gospel of Christ.
Brother Joyner emphasized the
fact that the people of today had
not the cause for fears as did Paul
when he was preaching at Athens.
THE voice of God said, Be not
afraid That message is to US today
Be not afraid of man, we must pre-
sent the message of Jesus for 1T is
the thing that man needs" was one
of his remarks.
Closing his remarks with strong
appeal to those present he said
"Men and women, let US not be
afraid. There has been times and
ages when we had cause to be afraid
but the world has received the gospe,
of Christ and today we rise to speak
His name, feeling it an honor and
privilege to do so"
Delegates were named to repre-
sent the church in the State Con.
vention of Fitzgerald, to convene
November 8 and close the 5th. Those
selected were Rev. Joyner and wife
| and ]. A. Baugh and wife.
The services were interesting anc
instructive and the Christian Church
is fortunate in having Rev. Joynel
as a pastor.

divorcing records when she was IA,

Just after Judge Ballard Coldwell
granted her freedam from her third
spouse Friday, she asserted she ex-
pected to be married the fourth time

Association in the matter of tie
games, The locals have played five
games this season, four of them be-
ing deadlocks and the fifth one
victory for Albany, scoreless ties
were played with Dawson, Ocilla nd
Tallahassee, and 6-6 tie with VAL
dosta. Ashburn was beaten Is to O.
Albany now has a chance to win
the association crown, for although
her Indians have won only one game,
they nevertheless have lost not one.
Confidence by holding the Wildcats
to tie will probably enable the In
dams to win their remaining games
with Moultrie, Thomasville, Triton
and cambridge, although each one
of them is usually strong contend
er for the championship.

SIMPSON HEARD
SUNDAY NIGHT
Says That Is 1t Harder for Man
to Receive Christ
Joyfully
By r. H. RINER
News Editor, Timss-Recorder


"And He made haste and came
down and received him joyfully" St.
Luke 1876.
Using the above scripture as his
text, Rev. Richard F. Simpson, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church
spoke before an interested congre-
cation last night.
His scripture reading for the eve
ming was 81 verses of the same chap
ter from which he took his text. This
chapter tells of Christ's passage
through Jericho and of Zaccheus
climbing into a sycamore tree so
that he could see Jesus.
Rev. Simpson in the opening of
his sermon stressed the fact that
Zaccheus, small of stature, climbed
the tree to see Jesus, not mindful of
the throng that had gathered there,
how that they might ridicule him.
That oftimes we fail to do what we
want to do and what we should do,
because we are afraid of what our
fellow man might say, afraid of the
ridicule of those about us.
1T is getting harder for man to
accept or receive Christ joyfully. the
depravity of human nature keeps the
people back. Our eyes are blind,
our ears stopped, to the joys of
Christ. Human sin, the power of
the devil and ignorance keep us
from receiving Jesus gladly" he said
He further said that Jesus came
to bring God to man and to take man
back to God, fitting us or making us
fit companions to God. Men will
not receive Jesus gladly fearing that
such would demand too much OF
them. We are living in fast age
so fast that we haven't time to think
of the life beyond this. He ex-
pressed the belief that if men knew
the only joy of Christ they would
receive him joyfully.
1t was an interesting sermon, true
10 the fullest extent and one that
every christian should enjoy.

The continued retention of the
whipping post in Delaware is
not only favored by large ma
jOrity of our citizens as a de-
terent of crime, but outsiders as
well feel it is not so much a
"relic of barbarism" after all.
The Chicago Nl.,) Daily Trib-
une has this to say, editOrially,
about us:
"A bill to abolish the whip
ping post was defeated by a vote
of 81 to 1 in the lower house of
the Delaware legislature. That
shows that corporal punishment
in practice has met with wide
approval, whatever the theoriz-
erS and SentimentaliStS may say
against it. The lash is a nice
punishment for Offenses of a
certain kind. There is the wife
beater, for instance. A term in
Jail or a fine would seem ade-
quate for the man who spanks
the little woman for cause and
in moderation; but what is to be
done with the hardened party
VINO larrups her every day ?
Stronger medicine than a fine OF
a term in jail is indicated for
him. We doubt if there are
enough professional wife beat
ers in Chicago to justify insti-
tuting the post for them alone.
The overhead could be reduced
with professional thugs, OF
which Chicago has more than its
fair share. Their activities are
so usual as to find little space il
the news. They travel in gangs
For one reason or another-rob
berry, politics, union rivalry, Of
what not-they beset an unof
Tending citizen, black his eyes
redistribute his features, ant
kick in his ribs. Sometime
these gangsterg get caught
Well say they'd look we'll at
