    2. The Ellaville Sun Friday, May 19, 1939 No. 46 SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan MAYBE IT WOULD HELP HIM First Grader Tommy Wilson listened with interest as the grown-ups talked of the forecast made by the weather man. Asked Tommy: "Does the weather man have to have rheumatism, like mother, so he can tell what the weather is going to be? TICKETS FOR MRS. HILL For telling a little boy's idea about how the weather man is able to do his work, Mrs. O.C. Hill gets this week's award of a pair of guest tickets to the Rylander theater at Americus. Anyone who has ever had a touch of rheumatism can appreciate Tommy's remark, for when a change in the weather is in the offing, that old feeling comes back. Manager J.N. Morgan of the Rylander, reminds Mrs. Hill that the technicolor epic, "Dodge City," starring Errol Flynn, Olivia DeHaviland and Ann Sheridan, plays Monday and Tuesday. Send along your suggestions in competition for next week's tickets. DEATH AND LIFE IN THE SAME DAY Death and life came to the P.T. Streetman home in Schley county last week.
