It will be the largest automobile factory in the world outside the United States. Its capacity will be 200,000 cars a year. An assembly and manufacturing plant is being built at Cologne, an as sembly plant at Antwerp, and a service plant at Stockholm. Two branches— one at Perth, Australia, and one at Port Elizabeth, South Africa—were com pleted.

The Washington football team played the Johnston team at John ston last Wednesday, with both teams playing “outsiders.” The game was hard fought by both teams, but Mr. Jones for Johnston and Bradshaw for Washington were the outstanding “stars.” The game, however, was forfeited by Johnston at the half, since several of their best players had been knocked out. Although the John ston >boys succeeded in making a touchdown while the Washington boys failed to score, yet the score was 7 to 6 in Washington’s favor. We were very sorry that Mr. Jones, our former coach, had his shoulder dislocated but we hope that it won’t gve him much trouble. School win be dismussed Wed- aeaday afternoon for the Thanks- gtving holidays and every one is anticipating a good time. The members of the faculty who don’t live here are planning to spend Ibis time at their respective homes, lbs. Rountree, Swainsboro, Ga.; Kiss McKinney, McCormick; Misses Kinnie and Annie Jackson, Abbe- ^Slle; Miss God bee, Waynesboro, 'em., and Miss Herron in Starr. We are indeed sorry that Miss JfeQe Johnson is confined to her borne in Augusta, Ga., with mai lt was with a pang of regret that we watched another football game on our home field last Friday, for we knew that it was the last game of the season. This game was play ed between a team from the upper section of the school district and one from the lower section. It was very interesting and good plays were made by both sides, but the boys from the lower section proved too much for the other bunch by winning with a score of 14-0. Several boys, Davis Bussey, War- lick Keller, and Pickens Wells played their last game for Wash ington. We are proud of these boys for the faithful effort they have put forth and they certainly deserve much praise. Even though next year they will be gone, they will not be forgotten. These, along with all the others, who went out for football have helped to honor their Alma Mater and to keep up The girls’ basketball team played the first game last Wednesday against Johnston on the Johnston Icourt. The score was a tie 14-14. To say that this game was thrill ing would be putting it mild, for it was even more than that. Both teams played well, but the pass work of the Washington team far surpassed that of their opponents. No one could even predict the out come of this game until the final whistle blew, for first one side would score, and in a few seconds the other side would do likewise. To pick individual stars from eith er team would be hard, for every player handled the ball well and is due much praise, but the work of Middleton and Buchanan in center for Washington was excel lent, while Short, guard, and Kirk land, forward showed up unusual ly well for the opposing team. The line ups were as follows: Washington Johnston Edmunds, A. Kirkland, H. Left Forward McDaniel, *L. Watson, E. Tumping Center Middleton, B: Hoyt Side Center Buchanan, E. R. Edison, A. Right Forward Drennan, M. F. Short, N. Right Guard McDaniel, B. Derrick, J. Left Guard Substitutes for Washington: Ry an for L. McDaniel, Wilkie for B. McDaniel, Bussey for Ryan. For Johnston: Smith for Hoyt. Referee: Mr. Lewis. night in honor of the football team. The coach, Mr. Fred Brad shaw, arranged this party to help show his appreciation to the boys for their work this season, and no better date could have been select ed, for the last game was played that afternoon. Early in the even ing the boys began to arrive with their girls and since the girls bas ket ball team had been invited, quite a large number of young people were present. They enjoy ed games for a while, but the greater part of the time was filled with “proms.” Refreshments, con sisting of various kinds of fruits, were served in the Agriculture room. During this time several talks were made. Mr. Mayer dis cussed the importance of athletics in the school to develop character, | team work, etc., and he urged the boys to keep up the good work that they had started on the gridiron. Mr. Bradshaw expressed in a most forceful manner his deep apprecia tion to the boys for their untiring efforts on the field, to Mr. Mayer for his co-operation, and to Mr. Wooten for his help. Davis Bus sey, captain of the team, thanked his team for their excellent sup port and in behalf of the entire team he thanked the coach for his interest, his help and his guidance in putting out a team. This Week h Arthur Brisbane Technically Sweet Topsy-Turvy Russia This Strange World Mr. Morgan Knew Learn, if it can give you stitisfac- tion, that conditions in Wall Street are “technically” much better. That won’t give satisfaction to little people that were gambling gaily a year ago. When Wall Street gets “technically” better it means that small accounts are wiped out, little gamblers are dead and buried financially and must save up for the next foolishness. Stocks are in “strong hands,” which means that those that put them out at a high price nave bought them back at a low price. Call money lends at 1 per cent, 00 day money lends at 2 per cent. Everything is charming “tech nically,” which ought to be a lesson for little men not to gamble, but It will not be. •4 J. GIRL’S CLUB. The junior 4-H club held a very valuable meeting last Thursday, November 20, 1930. The meeting opened with the president in charge. Scripture, Psalm 117, was read by the presi dent followed by the Lord’s pray er, prayed in unison. Myrtle Mc Daniel next recited a poem, “Re sult^ and Roses.” The program was concluded by “Yankee Doodle” sung by all. After this the minutes were read and the roll was called by the secretary. Milk being the topic of the demonstration, each member answered by quoting the number of glasses of milk she drank daily. Following this was the demon stration procedure by Mrs. Stall- worth. First each member scored herself on “Health Habits,” there were several who made a score of 100. Mrs. Stallworth lectured on “The Importance of Milk in the Building of the Body of a Growing Child.” She demonstrated a milk shake which was served to the girls. For home work the girls are to serve at least four times, a food containing milk. Just before the dismissal, rec reational songs were sung and games were played which were greatly enjoyed by all. The most outstanding social event recently was a party given at the school building on last Frida: i Rest and REFRESH YOURSELF . . even while you RUSH Tune In on our radio program.

United States engineers are oper ating an asbestos pit two miles wide, in a place far off from Moscow and the other centers, that had 10,000 population a short time ago, now has 53,000 population, and within two years will yield twice as much as the world’s total output of asbestos in 1028. More reason for worrying about “Russian dumping.” Mr. Thomas of the British, labor cabinet says the world’s trouble is the sudden end of great buying power. Four hundred million people in China, 300,000,000 in India, 140,000,000 in Russia, half the buying population of the world, suddenly stopped buying. Boycotting silver, which India and China use for money, plus civil war and rebellion, are responsible for part of the trouble. And the United States’ boycott of Russia is responsible for part. This is an extraordinary world. In which too much of everything, too much wheat, coal, copper, sugar and even too much money, mean disaster. T. W. Lamont of Morgan and com pany, revives a story about Junius Morgan, father of the late J. Pier- pont Morgan, grapdfather of today’s head of the firm. When the late J. Morgan was very young, crossing the ocean with his father, the latter gave him this ad* vice: “Remember, my son, that any man who is a bear on the future of this country will go broke.” GREENWOOD, S.

WARNER and RAYMOND HACKETT in * “ON YOUR BACK” That is as true now as it was half a century ago, and citizens will do well to remember it. Railroad men, including the great est in the United States, represent ing 90 per cent of all the railroads, pledged themselves to avoid cutting wages or discharging men and to em ploy as many more men as possible. Tliis they do in the face of de creased railroad earnings, an excellent example to other employers. The farm board has held up the price of American wheat by spending a million dollars a day to buy grain and take it out of the market. Wheat has been selling at Winni peg and Liverpool as low as 16 cents below the American price. This means that other wheat pro ducing countries have been changing their wheat into money, and sending it where it will be eaten. Regular airplane travel is planned between Chicago and New York in eight and a half hours or less. That interests railroad men. Automobile travel also interests railroads. Four young people in Buffalo de cided to see the Yale-Princeton game at Princeton, N. J. They mdde the trip in one day in a small automobile. For gas and oil the cost was $4.10. Railroad tickets for the four, not in cluding pull man, would cost $72. Permitting railroads to increase their rates would not solve that prob lem. The burning brand from the open fire-place is another threat of firs. The cozy log fire crackles merrily a glowing ember pops out and sets the rug ablaze. The flames are beyond control be fore they are discovered. Just another little thing that causes disaster. y Insurance adequate insur ance against such a calamity is just plain good business. And a long century of loss paying has demonstrated that there is no sounder fire insurance than that offered by the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, rep resented by this agency. Frank C.
