While Fathers Feud, Georgia Youngsters Carry On "ROmeO And Juliet" Romance

Atlanta, Ga, June 30.-Many years ago, in Verona, there were two powerful families, named Montague and Capulet. They were enemies But Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet loved each other despite the family rivalry. A fellow named Shakespeare wrote quite a story about 1t.
 Something like that is going on down in Georgia these days, and the romance involves Jerry Rivers, wirsome daughter of Georgias Governor E. D. Rivers, and Jack Manugham. Jr., son of Rivers politi- cal rival for the governorship at the September primaries.
 Jacks father, J. J. Mangham, Brennan, Ga, banker, was friend- ly supporter when Governor Rivers was elected two years ago. But as Rivers veered New Dealward, Mang- ham grew less enthusiastic for his administration, and decided to run against Rivers.
 But meanwhile there were devel- opments in the romantic sphere as well as in the political. The son and daughter of the two political rivals met last summer while their fathers were still political friends and allies. Jerry and Jack had their first date in June, and all last win ter and this spring the two have gone to all fraternity dances to- gether at the University of Georgia, where Miss Rivers is junior.
 So while the rival candidates travel over the state pitching po- litical epithets at each other, their children arc at home pitching woo" eff that's the correct phrase for "romancing" among the younger generation). Mangham, Jr., has not failed to make the 50-mile drive between Brennan and Atlanta each week to see Miss Rivers.
 The 18 year old only daughter of the Rivers family insists the politi- cal rivalry won't make any differ ence to her and she hopes 1t won't to Jack.
 Jack Jr. hasn't made any state ments, but has let his regular calls at the governors mansion answer for him.

WHITE OAKS HIT BY 'ANTHRACNOSE'
FungOus Disease Affecting SyCamOres-State BOta-
 hist Explains Effects

Anthracnose, fungous disease that attacks white oak and syca- more is causing much alarm in Con- necticut this season. Telephone calls and letters from all parts Of the state, flooding the botanical de- partment at the agricultural experi- ment station at New Haven, describe the trouble, and boxes of specimens arrive by mail every day.
 E. M. Stoddard, botanist, points out that anthracnosc is more prom inent than usual this year but will not seriously injure the trees. It is always present to some extent but has been fostered by the weather this June.
 White oaks with anthracnose look as If the foliage had been partially or severely burned. The leaves first turn brown in spots along the veins, then darken to smoky black and twist up. Some cling to the twigs; others fall. The disease begins on the lower branches of the tree and progresses upward. Usually the tree will put out new sprouts or leaf again to counteract the trouble.
 There is nothing that can be done about the disease at this stage, MT. Stoddard says. Earlier in the sea- son, during the budding and new leaf period, trees may be protected from anthracnose by one or two ap- plications of Bordeaux mixture.
 SycamoreS are more or less af- fiicted by type of anthracnose every season. They drop some leaves and others bunch up at the end of branches forming witches brooms. People are used to seeing sycamores so affected and accept 1t as normal condition. This disease may be controlled by the same treatment as recommended for oaks.
