REVENGE
lly iierlon Braley
You’ve shown mo your albums of
pictures containing
Five hundred diversified scenes,
I've nodded and smiled while you
kept on explaining
Exactly what each of them
means j
I've lamped every building and
tower and steeple
And even pretended somehow,
To like all your snapvhots of
quite unknown people,
But—I’VE got a camera now!
IF'
Of all times, now is the time for our people to get
together and organize, and begin a campaign for a
bigger ami better Athens. The day of the dema
gogue; tlie disturber; the office seeker; the citizen
with selfish motives ahd the citizen who plays politics
and seeks to ride into office or secure popularity by
hunting up some measure to array class prejudice
has passed. This is no time for such issues; it is a
time when every effort of every good citizen should
be put forward for the building of a greater and
more substantial community. It can he done and
Athens can set the pace with a progressive and up
building policy which will stamp it as a constructive
city—a piece for homeseekers and investors. The
world war brought prosperity and the country ran
riot for four years with a flow of money and spend
ing- It was a lavish period and with all the prosper
ity and money-making during the war, as soon ns
hostilities ceased, the pendulum of prosperous times
• swung backward and the whole country experienced
a shock frem the panic. In addition the ravages of
the boll weevil drove the farmer and cotton grower
to despair, and with devastated cotton fields, our ag
ricultural interests suffered almost starvation.
However, this year the farmers went to work with
a determination to whip the boll weevil and re
cuperate from the losses. So far they have succeed
ed and unless there is an unusuully wot season in
August a normal crop, to the acreage, will be made.
Foodstuff will be plentiful and prosperity will re
turn irt the fall. But even with, this encouraging
condition before us, we must remember that it re
quires: more than this to build our city and make of
it what the |ft>ssibilitics are. Our people must come
together cither through the Chamber of Commerce
or in mass meeting and work as determinedly as has
the farmer to whip the boll weevil and we will be re
warded for our efforts. No city can grow and pros
per without harmony and concerted action v on the
part of the whole citizenship. We must pull together
and in unison strive for one end—for the good of our
city.
There is much for our Chamber of Commerce to do
this year. Its purpose and its very life is to be
active and initiative in all matters pertaining to the
community and its good. An organization without
properly functioning is a draw-back to the commun
ity, and a drone rather than a builder. The mem
bership is large and the representation covers all
lines of industries. There is an uncultivated field
for this organization from which to enter if it is tilled
properly vast returns will come to the community.
Lfct, the Chamber of Commerce take the lead and
call regularly meetings of that organization and let
the business men; the professional men; the laymen
und the ladles of the community meet and exchange
views on things for yie good of Athens. Much can
be accomplished and this organization made one of
the chief assets of the city.
Let us have harmony, concert of action; a con
structive program for the building of a greater city,
and forget and forgive any past differences,_and
have only one goal in sight, a landing point for n
greater Athens. It can be done and now is the oppor
tune tftne. ,
I've heard of each view that you
took, how you shot it,
The why and the where and the
when; *
I’ve heard of your lens, just how
cheaply you got it,
Again and again and again!
You’ve told me the weather condi
tions surrounding
Each picture you’ve taken, I
• vow;
vc borne the whole thing with a
patience abounding,
But—I'VE got a camera now!
And I shall fill albums with peo
ple whose faces
Are quite unfamiliar to you,
And I shall take pictures of all
sorts of places
Exceedingly boresome to view;
I’ll show them to you, and I’ll
I’ll show them to you,
babble of lenses,
Till weariness crinkles your
brow; . „ , . ,
I’ve listened to all of your kodak
ing frenzies,
But—I’VE got a camera now!

TREES ARE AN ASSET TO ANY CITY
The value of trees to a municipality can not be
over-estimated for appearances ns well as comfort to
the citizenship. .
Officials in some cities do not appreciate the tree
as they should, and for that reason there are few
cultivated and protected as they should be. , A tree is
a most valuable asset to any community from not only
a shade standpoint, but from a civic standpoint as
well. Nothing adds more to the appearances of the
street 1 -, and nvenucs than does the shade tree and no
improvement for the value received is less expensive.
In Philadlphia a few weeks ago, a storm blew
down and destroyed a century-old elm tree. The
park commission valued this-tree at $25,000 and is
seeking to find another tree to take its place. Large
cities prize the trees and parks above any other fea
tures and every precaution is taken to preserve and
sustain the trees whether in the parks or on the
streets.
We should not only he interested in the preserva
tion of our trees in parks and on the streets, but we
should use every effort to preserve the forests of the
state. It is rapidly passing away and unless legisla
tion is enacted and enforced for the rehabilitation of
the forests, this state will suffer in more ways than
one.
Athens should inaugurate a systematic oampaign
for planting trees throughout the city and see to it
that there are a certain number planted each year
and that those now in growth be cared for and prop
erly treated as though they were stock and valuable
implements used in the construction of the city’s
needs.
The work of education to the value of trees should
be carried on consistently by the municipality in a
broadguaged way for the reforestation of the trees
through the city, county and state.
