WHAT | SAW WHEN
IPEEPED IN
Dawson, Ga, July 10, 1926.

Dawson, Ga, July 10, 1926.
To The Fitzgerald Leader:
During a stay of few hours IN
Rebecca a few days ago, l walked up
to the schoo ihouse and on approach
ing, | noticed that several windows
of the auditorium and Of the Domes-
tic Science room were open. AS l
entered l heard voices-yes, familiar
voices-coming from the science
room. l eased up the stairway and
peepd in and caught 'em at it. Yes,
there were Mrs. Belts and Mrs. Davis
AMI the canning club girls busily en-
gagged in canning fruits-I said bust
ly engaged. Of course they were,
and under the excellent guidance and
instruction of one Of Georgia's best
domestic science teachers, viz, Mrs.
Belts, assisted by the president of the
Woman's club of Rebecca. Mrs. ]. w.
Davis. Those girls were doing a
work that would be credit to those
of mature age and of years of ex-
perience-can fruit that would at
tract attention and bring forth COM
ment and in all probability take some
of the prizes offered at our state
fair.
I would be rcreant If ! should fan
to say that Rebeeca Consolidated
School should be proud of the excel
lent work Mrs. Belts and our noble
Woman's club is rendering.
Well, how about next school term?
We are loking forward with fond ex-
to another successful
year-with Oak Hill district added
and the cooperation of earnest and
patrons, Rebecca Con-
solidated school should be second to
none in South Georgia.
Yours for better schools,
w. A. WHEELER, Supt,
Rebecca Consolidated School.

Gwynn, acting suspiciously all day

Sheriff Dorminey and his posse Sun
day night, when they were. found
asleep in their car on the Prescott
road. east of the city.
During the day the trio tried to
swap eff their Studebaker for a
cheaper car at a ridiculously low
price. arousing the suspicion of the
would-be purchasers, who informed
the sheriff OF their actions.
Late in the evening Sheriff Dor
miney was advised that the trio were
parked just southeast of the city on
the Prescott road, when the sheriff
with Deputies Roberts, Scarboro and
Special Agent Fountain motored to
the place and found 4the three asleep
in the car. The entire party was
dead broke entirely without funds
and could not give satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION to the officers, admitting,
however, that the car belonged to
neither of the party, but was taken
from Miami.
At first the officers thought they
had captured the burglars but later
developments dispelled this suspicion.
a telegram from the police depart
ment of Miami asked that Hobby and
Delaney be held for theft Of the auto
and that officers from Florida would
come after them

MAKING OF MANHOOD
CALLS FOR ACTIVITY
IN GROWING YOUTH

One never can tell by observing a
mischievous lad what sort of a man
he will become. Yet It should be
borne in mind that the "deviltries"
of boys are not looked upon by them
in the light of wrong-doing, but
merely as variety and fun.
Ordinary life and restraint are
monotonous to the boy nature, so Of
ten he "breaks out" in some way that
the elders call "disgraceful" A boy
seldom intends to go so far as to in
fiict sorrow or harm upon others, but
often when some prank is started it
is spontaneously carried forward I'M
til damage is done. Then come rep
rimands and possibly punishment.
An active boy needs plnety to do.
The more active boys mind is, the
buster his hands must be kept. If a
lad heads the honor roll in his stu
dies he should be encouraged to head
some branch of clean athletics as
we'll.
Many times the dad boy" of the
neighborhood exists only because
there is lack of something to do
which is wholesomely interesting.
Public Fairgrounds, tennis courts and
baseball diamonds often are all that
are needed to make the bad boy
good one.
This truth is being recognized by
many American cities in their pro-
visions of playground centers, even
to the supplying of play leaders and
teachers. The vacation from school
during the summer months is there
fore not so fearsome a thing to pa
rents as it once was, becaus cit is no
longer time when the active boy
and girl, as weli-must depend on
the Matching up Of mischief in order
to make the time 60 quickly.
Activity the growing youth must
have. How much better, then, to
provide legitimate outlets for this
exuberance of feeling, rather than
permit it to shoulder and break out
in acts that are harmful and may re-
suit in vicious streak in the charac-
ter of the man or woman lister in
Georgian.
