The Survey covers such factors as condition of walls, chimneys, roofs, etc., the age of the structure, the number of rooms and occupants, and whether or not it has ordinary conveniences and comforts. The average urban dweller will be sur prised to learn that a heavy per centage of the farm homes are en tirely without plumbing of any kind. The buljc of the homes are in only fair condition; many are classified as being poor. And only a comparative handful have electric cr gas labor saving devices. Here is a vast market for the sale of building materials and sup plies. In a number of states the market has barely been touched; homes are little different than they were twenty-five years ago. Vari ous plans are on foot now to make it possible for more farmers to finance new building and effect improvements and alterations to old structures. If the plans go through it will mean not only bet ter living quarters for the farmer— it will mean that a legion of men will find jobs, both in the actual work of construction and in the industries supplying materials. It is the general opinion that stimulated home building, in both rural and urban areas, is essential to achieving general economic re covery. And it is pleasant to note that the outlook for new construc tion is better now than at any time in the past four years. ’34 Motor Car Buyers Get Many Extra Features a world’s finest type of motor powers the Car m'tfiout a Price Class m r' As the 1934 motoring season gets actively under way the motorist of ordinary means can congratulate himself on his ability to purchase for a low price a motor car that not only has all the features of cars j which several years ago cost two or three thousand dollars, but incor- (L.

It swept a racing car down a Florida beach to the world’s land speed record ... 270 miles per hour. Only Ford has been able to put the V-type 8-cylin der engine in an inexpensive car. The next lowest priced V-8 cylinder car sells for $2545. At 55 this Ford V-8 is just loafing along——effort lessly. Yet despite performance that lifts it out of the low price class, the new Ford V-8 is the most econom ical Ford ever built. The Ford V-8 is the only car that offers you the riding ease of free action for oil four wheels—plus the priceless safety of strong axle construction. Before you buy any car at any price, drive the Ford V-8. AUTHORIZED SOUTHEASTERN FORD DEALERS fe i, “Just listen to all those male cheers for the Ford engine'* "They can cheer all they want about the engine. l*m cheering about Ford comfort," •515 And V[0 F.O.B. Detroit —AmtkmHmaS JWJ Flmmmem Pimm row RADIO PROGRAM—With Waring'. F—aytynwl— t Sunday and Thnraday KTooln*.——Columbia Network porates many engineering improve ments which have been developed in recent years. “The 1934 motor car buyers get a real break,” Mr. Bottom, manager of the Ford Motor Company at At lanta, pointed out this week. “He can buy a car at a reasonable price and be certain to get every comfort and every feature that a motorist could desire. Five years ago to ob tain these same motoring features would have cost him thousands of dollars. “Our engineers have been able to build these features into a low- priced car. The new Ford V-eights have transverse springs allowing free action on all four wheels. They have torque tube drive, which as sures safety at high speed. Their wheels are of welded steel with nothing to work loose and the steel itself is so strong that a single spoke will support the weight of the entire car. This car can be ac celerated to 63 miles an hour in second. < “Then, too, this year’s buyer gets a double drop frame, dual height bumpers, all-steel body, shatter proof glass all around, and a low center of gravity, permitting the car to hug the road and making it possible for it to be tilted to a 40 degree angle. “In short, the motorist of 1934 not only enjoys the benefits of low prices, but at the same time he ob tains those multiple features that make motoring a genuine pleasure and provide the motorist with com fort, speed and safety. In view of these facts it is not to be wondered at that the automobile industry has gone ahead so rapidly this year. The American motorist rec ognizes value and is quick to take advantage of it when he sees it. Sales records for the current year are proof of this.” x Judge F. A. Cook Dies At Troy Frank A. Cook, 83, magistrate at Troy for 50 years, died at his home there last Thursday morning at 10:30 o’clock. He had been in de clining health for some time but had been critically ill only a few days.

Cook, Lowndesville; Mrs. D. M. Milling, Greenwood; Mrs. W. E. Cheatham, Toccoa, Ga.; Mrs. C. N. Edwards, Troy, and Frank B. Cook, Highlands, N. C. He is also sur vived by one brother, Joe Cook, of Ringo, La., and two sisters. Miss Laura Cook, Langley, and Mrs. Ada Woodward, Hephzibah, Ga. Funeral services were conducted at the Troy cemetery Friday morn ing at 11 o’clock by the Rev. O. L. Orr of Plum Branch and the Rev. D. W. Keller of McCormick. J. S.

Golden Text: Matt. 28:19, 20. The United States Civil Service Commission has announced open competitive examinations as fol lows: Junior Agricultural Economist, $2,000 to $2,600 a year. Agricultural Adjustment Administration and Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Department of Agriculture. Principal Agricultural Economist, $5,600 a year, Senior Agricultural Economist, $4,600 a year, Agricul tural Economist, $3,800 a year, As sociate Agricultural Economist, $3,200 a year, Assistant Agricultural Economist, $2,600 a year. Agricul tural Adjustment Administration and Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics, Department of Agriculture. Senior Industrial Economist, $4,- 600 a year. Industrial Economist, The Golden Text proclaims the Great Commission for the promo tion of the missionary enterprise. It constitutes the marching orders of the Christian Society. I wonder if we realize to what an astonishing extent the missionary spirit and method are glorified by the pages of our New Testament. Every book in the New Testament was vritten by a foreign mission ary. Every New Testament letter written to a church was directed to ; a foregin missionary church. Every New Testament letter written to an individual was directed to a convert , of a foreign missionary. Of the ! twelve apostles every one, save Ju das, became a missionary. The language of the New Testa ment, moreover, is of a missionary character. Now striking changes have taken place in recent years in the areas where missionaries labor, and in the conduct of their work. Con sider how marvelously the world has shrunk! The automobile, the aeroplane, the radio, and the tele phone have made the whole world a neighborhood. Geographic fron tiers have thus been eliminated, and the traditional distinction be tween home and foreign missions abolished. Think, too, of the way in which the ideal of a self-governing, self- sustaining native church is being approached. The days of western supremacy are passing.* • To an in creasing extent missionary work is being taken over by the nationals of the various countries. Another notable change is the intense emphasis upon the social gospel. Still another change is the ad vance in missionary cooperation. There are about forty foreign mis sion boards in the United States and Canada, all working together in harmony. Denominationalism is thus breaking down on foreign soil. Truly we are living in stir ring days! $3,800 a year. Associate Industrial Economist, $3,200 a year, Assistant Industrial Economist, $2,600 a year, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Depart ment of Labor. Supervisor of Boys’ Activities, $4,- 600 to $5,400 a year, Indian Field Service, Department of the Interior.
