Southeast Leads Nation
In Economy

Mississippi, an integral part of
the vast Southeast section of the
United States, shares in the report
that the economy of the Southeast
will lead the nation throughout
1861. In 1860, this area had the
most vigorous growth in the Unit
ed States, and the trend is expect
ed to continue. Cause of the boom
in Dixie has been largely the dual
type of economy-a balance be-
tween agriculture and industry.

telephone operator for Al years!
This may be a record in Geau-
ga County, and one just completed
by Mrs. Elda Watros, 81, as,
sistant chief operator at Chardon
Telephone Co.
She was born in Fowlers Mills,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Beech. When her father
died, leaving her mother and eight
children, she was Is years old.
Despite her age, she felt respo1-
sibility to contribute to their sup
port, and applied to Chardon

She was young, but alert and
willing to learn. The company
officials noted this and also took
into consideration her family's
circumstances and her need to
help them.
