Rotary Entertained
by Students
The Atlanta Rotary Club was en-
tertained last Thursday by stu-
dents from the speech class of the
high school.
Supt. Smith introduced the speak
ers as follows: Ches. Kennedy, a
sophomore and Miss Carolyn Howe,
of the graduating class. They gave
us their views on "Whether the
United States should enter the Eu-
ropean War, now in progress in that
country." Both gave some very in-
teresting facts on this important
subject now on the hearts of every
citizen. The conclusion is prepared
ness.
Today is Memorial Day, and Rev.

HARMONY INSTEAD OF HATRED
IS THE FERGUSONS' PROMISE
Unless the Governor possesses sufficient wisdom and diplomacy to
command respect of the legislature, it is useless to hope that any con-
structive program can be carried out. /
No purpose is served and the people are not benefitted when vicious
attacks are made on members of that body in order that an alibi may be
established.
Repeated charges against the political integrity of our lawmakers
destroys all hope of future harmony and prevents any possibility of
securing much needed legislation.
After all, the final responsibility rests with those elected to make our
laws and any one who refuses to recognize, or is ignorant of, this fun-
damental fact is totally unfit for the office of Governor.
The Ferguson's past record for harmony is the surest guarantee of
their future relations with the legislature.
