CANNING riME S (Buy. (Bs&L SuqaJv Stock up on beet sugar now for a big season of home canning of the plen- tiful supply of fresh fruits and vegetables now on the market. Look ahead and plan to fill your cupboards with delicacies, which you'll relish and be thankful for next winter! Use extra-fine, pure, granulated beet sugar — the finest you can buy. It's quick-dissolving and unsurpassed for canning and preserving. Also cheap- er, therefore, more economical to use. BEET SUGAR AND FARM SURPLUSES . All America is concerned with farm surpluses, because surpluses af- fect the purchasing power of the farmer, and, in turn, the whole struc- ture of American economic life. American farmers raise approximately one million acres of sugar beets each year. What's more, a million acres in sugar beets is not another million surplus acres of wheat or corn! Furthermore, no other major American crop returns to the farmer as much per acre and contributes to industry and agriculture as much as the sugar beet and the resultant beet sugar industry. America needs the beet sugar industry . the industry needs the sup- port of farmers, merchants, housewives, canneries, and statesmen.

THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY: THE CHANGING PAST OF COFFEE COUNTY, GEORGIA —————————————————————— A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University —————————————————————— In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History —————————————————————— By Jonathan David Hepworth December 2012 —————————————————————— Accepted by: Dr. Rod Andrew, Jr., Committee Chair Dr. Paul Christopher Anderson Dr. H. Roger Grant ABSTRACT In 1954, Coffee County, Georgia, commemorated its centennial with a massive celebration that essentially shut down the county seat of Douglas for a week. Parades, fireworks, speeches, and above all a large-scale historical pageant, the “Centurama,” were components of the celebration. The history celebrated in 1954, however, did not necessarily match up with Coffee County’s actual history. This thesis examines the history of Coffee County and its changing nature, looking at politics, economics, and culture. It finds that historical “memory” is not always planned out by society’s elites, but can change as the result of politics, demographic shifts, and commercial gain.

A IDSTORY OF BRIGHAM YOUNG COLLEGE, LOGAN, UTAH by Arnold K. Garr A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Logan, Utah 1973 ii PREFACE Brigham Young College was founded July 24, 1877 by its namesake Brigham Young, the president of the Mormon church. In its forty-nine year his­ 1 tory nearly forty thousand students attended B. Y. C. When the church gave word that it must be closed, many were shocked at the news. The final annual com- mencement exercises for the college were held May 23, 1926 in the Logan Taber- nacle at Logan, Utah.
