COMMUNITY CHEST
 TOTAL IS A3,000
Drive &,0oo Less Than Expect
 cd at This Time

A pessimistic fear that. the com-; - munity chest drive was not going to 70 over successfully this year was manifest at the luncheon of the drive chairmen today when less than $44,0o0 was reported which is $3,000 under the amount expected at this stage of the drive. in order to maintain the minimum average.
 Officials of the United Community corporation have figured that today's report should have been at least $47,O00.
 "The angel in the park is not full ly clothed and inr her right mind if she only has $4S.oOo when she should have s47,oo0,' said Rev. Theodore Ainsworth Greene speak ing to the chairmen. .,:.
 ''The value of the community chest helps to keep one thinking of community responsibilities, contin- ued Rev. Mr. Greene. Each fam lily should take its responsibilities seriously"
 He advised the workers to stick to your man until you get him. don't let him escape. The time to get money is when you need it."
 Those present were given the op- portunity of hearing a typical south ern spell binder in a feast of wit and eloquence such as is seldom heard in the Burritt hotel. when President Maurice Stanley uneXpect- edly introduced L.. $. Congressman William D. upshaw of Georgia.
 Walking around to othe front oi the speakers table, the southern statesman, who is q cripple. dis carded one crutch and sitting on a corner of the table. began his talk with the following statement: 'If you have never before seen a con- gressman sit on the table while he speaks, you now have the opportu- nity of visualizing that shining actu- ality, whatever that means
 Stating hat he was speaking tc 'ladies and gentlemen. the gentle. men who arc present and the ladies you have enshrined in your hearts. he announced that he was the only congressman from Georgia who vot cd that the women had as mucl sense as the men.
 An old time ncwspaperman him self, he claimed to speak with au thority when he jokingly and amids great laughter referred to neWSpa permen as "unfumigatcd prevarica tors"
 He told his hearers that the ques ton of community loyalty enters in to campaign of this kind. NO body wants to see New Britain fail: he said.
 T wouldn't be loyal to Atlanta my home city, if I didn't: say ] haN never known Atlanta to start an, move for community uplift tha didn't win"
 Punctures Bostons Pride
 The speaker again brought hearty laugh from his hearers b telling of meeting he had in Bos ton, where he said he 'puncture the pneumatic tire of Bostonia pride" by telling them that "Atlant was the capital city of five outsand ing United States products, Ty cobl Stone Mountain. hot air, Coco Col and the Ku Klux Illan."
 "There is one thing about driv like this" he continued. Tt wipe out lines of creed and makes bretf ren of all. It unites us and wipes ol the things that divide us. You are cultivating tho spirit ( unselkshness. Sehishness is tn meanest, blackest, hatefullest thin in all the world. It is that thin

 'I knew a rich man who never spent cent for others. When the time came for him to die he said: Pm willing to die.' said: The whole town seems willing to have you die, so that makes it unani- mous.'

When one runs up against this,
the very first thing for the average
player to do is to resolve to go
about playing the next shot in a
deliberate unhurried manner. There
is no need to become hurried or
fused, for the ball isn't going to
get away. 1t will lie right where
II is until the stroke Is played, and
sometimes even after that event.
The chief source of trouble with
the less skillful players under such
circumstances liz that as soon as
they instinctively contract g. feeling
they discover what confronts them,
that some heroic measure is going
to be necessary to get the ball out.
AS a result, they inwardly resolve
