GREATER GEORGIA, INC.

DR.. Harry r. McKeen, executive
manager of Greater Georgia, Inc,
statewide development organization,
and one of the foremost development
men in the country, will be the prin-
cipal speaker next Wednesday at
the Lions Club dinner, when the
Kiwanis club, the Executive Board of
the Woman's club and other promi-
nent citizens will be the guests of the
Lions.
Georgia's development as state,
agriculturally, industrially and other
wise, with a nationwide advertising
campaign to bring Georgia's hlther-
to unheralded resources to the atten-
ton of the world is being undertaken
by the organization DR.. McKeen
heads.
Although Greater Georgia, Inc,
was organized nearly a year ago
principally by the Georgia Bankers
Association, it's active functions be-
gan with the election of DR.. McKeen,
formerly director of finance and ex-
tension of the Florida State Cham
Der of Commerce, as executive man
ager. W.. T. Anderson, publisher of
the Macon Daily Telegraph, is presi-

valuable training and experience In
development work in the st. Louis
and Petersburg, Va, territory and
with DR.. A. P. Bourland in the South
ern Conference for Education and
Industry several years ago. His
work in Florida, where he has been
credited with much of Florida's re-
cent development, is probably his
greatest success.
Dr. McKeens first work in the
state brought him in direct contact
with more than 500 bankers through
a weeks tour visiting group meetings
of the Georgia Bankers Association.
He was the principal speaker on each
Of FIVE programs, outlining the work

not only of the organization, but also
of it's program of development. He

places in Georgia. 80
Temporarily Greater Georgia, Inc,
has four principal departments, pub
licity and advertising, agricultural,
which will direct the settling of the
of acres of available farm
land in the state, including refore--
station; transportation and market
ing and industrial department and a

which will work with local develop
ment organizations throughout the

The percentage OF dlsease-pro-

Thus, the examination Of bank
notes which were for several
days Ia the hands Of children

reveal the virus Of the disease

tive.
This surprising result can only
be explained Nv the sterilizing
