ATLANTA, Aug. members

Although the law requires that the

Along with this intention, was

hanging fire and its fate in doubt.
As is the custom of governors of
Georgia, about midnight, Governor
Dorsey appeared on the floor of
the house with a sheet of paper
rolled up in his hand. In a seeming
ly casual way, the story runs, he
drew the attention of every work
out assemblyman in the house to it.
Gradually the word spread that 1t
was his proclamation calling an ex-
ira session on Monday if his bill
was not put through.
AS the bill was passed, with the
call of the last name on the roll,
the governor tossed aside the little
roll of paper which was entirely
blank on both sides. But he got his
law.
Now, the question is, when Gov
ernor Clifford Walker visits the as
sembly on the last night:
Will he carry a little tube of pa

What Is "'4-H Club Work.
(By Miss Gladys Bull)

Since the publication of last weeks
Worcester Democrat, someone has
probably asked: "What is All club
work."
All club work means the equal de-
velopment of all four "H's" in the
emblem of the clubs; the head, hands,
heart and health. We train our head
to think, plan and reason; our hands
to be useful, helpful and skillful; our
heart to be kind, true and sympathet-
ic; our health to resist disease, enjoy
life and make for efficiency.
, There will be a meeting of the
Ohiyesa club in the Citizens National
Bank on May ninth. A good attend
ance is desired. The topic for discus
sion will be "The Care of the Hands,
Visitors are always welcome.

Camp Dix, N. j., April %, 1925.
Prof. E. j. Clarke, Editor and Pub
Usher of Worcester Democrat.
Dear Sir:
May l be permitted to express a
few thoughts through your much es-
teemed paper: 1st. The letter of
Mare C. Jones was very interesting
as indeed are all of her writings.
This writer is reminded of her father
and mother, her grandfather, w. w.
Melvin and his five brothers, and of
her great grandfather the Rev. Avery
Melvin, who seemed to take much
pleasure in giving me baskets or bags
Of apples and other fruit to take
home whenever | choose to go for
them. This was about rs years ago.
I'd. The letter of dear little Maggie
Webb which appeared in your paper
few weeks ago was enjoyed very
much indeed-Maggie was a good
child and faithful to her Sunday
School and Church. She faithfully
studied the word of God and there
fore built upon good foundation
and this accounts for her sound Chris
tan character. Alas that so many
have strapped the good Book. No
wonder that moral conditions are at
such low ebb.
In your last issue you very kindly
noted that my brother, J. J. Richards
had broken up his home and had gone
to live with his daughter after having
lived in your city for several years
Well as he had not resided anywhere
else since March l, 1849 l think that
he had been there at least several
years.
I notice what you have to say about
the need of better fire signals and
agree with you, and in this connec
ton permit me to suggest that thu
city be divided into, say 8 or 10 Fire
Zones and have them numbered. Have
little tin or wooden signs nailed Of
tackled up in conspicuous places ii
each zone with the number of tina
zone painted thereon. Also have card!
printed giving boundary and number
of all zones. 1t would take but shor
time for the citizens to learn every
zone. BY reporting the zone in which
the fire occurs it could be easily found
The cost would be but small only ;
little for printing and for painting
signs.
Thank you for your valued space.
Respectfully,
THEO. A. RICHARDS.

"PHONE FOR FOOD" SLOGAN

The National Wholesale Grocers'
Association has adopted the slogan,
Phone for Food for use in a cam
paisn to increase sales of food
products. A. h. Blish, representa-
tive of the national organization,
in addressing the nineteenth annual
convention of the Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Delaware Whole
sale Grocers Association at Phila-
delphia, last week, said that the
proposed campaign to increase tele.
phoning orders for, food is the re-
suit of two years study by spe
cial committee. In places where it
has been employed. he declared,
very perceptible increase in bust
ness has been noted; in some In.
stances. trebled Customers who
order groceries by telephone spend
an average Of $1.90 per call while
cash and carry purchases average
only 81 cents. Blish said.

Berlin Newspaper To Be
Printed In Princess Anne

Editor Byrd, of the Marylander
and Herald, has taken the cue from
the Somerset News, and will give
Berlin a newspaper printed in Prin-
cess Anne. The new publication Will
be known as the Berlin Times, and
will be issued weekly. G. T. Haney,
former newspaper man of Dayton,
Ohio, will be the local representative.
The Berlin Chamber of Commerce is
reported to have gotten back of the
enterprise and will, no doubt, make a
go of it.
