griffin first Invest Your Money, Your Talent, Your Time, Your Influence In Griffin Member Of The Associated Press JtjVENI GOO o tjr Z By Quimby Melton Factual reporting Association Press often comes up with fea ture stories that while not “spot news" make interesting reading. Scanniny the early morning , report we saw where a foot specialist advises people to buy their shoes after 3.00 o'clock in the afternoon." He says that shoes bought in the morn ing become too tight by after noon, since the foot swells dur ing the day. Maybe that explains why Good Evening's feet are “always killing me" as the Dt^te of Padukah has a way of saying. Now dear shoe merchants of Griffin don’t let this advice from the chiropodist worry you into thinking that there'll be a lull in shoe sales early in the day and a rush in the after noon. For this chiropodist has given the little woman a hint that possibly will cause a rush In the mornings. If one’s feet are smaller in the morning, then she can wiggle her toot sies into smaller shoes if she buys them early in the day. All of which reminds us of what a shoe salesman once told Good Evening. An old colored woman came Into his store and wanted a pair of shoes. “What size do you wear, auntie?” he asked. “Well tens is my size, but elevens feel so good I always take tweleves.” Another AP story tells of a of a pan in Spokane buying a new automobile with money he had saved over five years. He made a practice of saving every silver dollar-that came Into his filling station. When he went to buy his car he took 2.600 silver dollars to the car dealer. They were in a box and weighed 170 ponds. He got his cur and the auto salesman spent the rest of the afternoon counting and stack ing “cart wheels.” This Item reminded Good Evening of a linotype operator 5 ho once worked on “Your ometown Newspaper. He saved every quarter he got in change and every two years had enough quarters to buy a new car. He would take the quarters in paper sacks to the dealer, pour the amount on to table and get his new ear. Of course an automobile did not eoet anywhere its price to day or it would h^yc taken sev eral tables on which to pom the quarters. Ail of which leads up to the reminder that the. “Opportuni ty Drive” sale of U S. Savings bonds is now in full wing over the nation. By buying Uncle o Sam’s bonds one not only helps finance our govemn-ent but one lays up money that otherwise might be spent against the day when he will want K to buy an automobile, make a down pay ment on a home, send that boy or girl to college or have a tidy sum for something else And Unc.'e Sam pays good Interest. For every Three Dollars In vested in these bonds today one will get Four Dollars in ten years.

Congress On Visit To States WASHINGTON — (JP)— Brazilian President Eurico Oaspar Dutra told Congress today the friendship of Brazil and the United States is the major link in the strong chain that binds the Western Hemisphere to gether.

He spoke high praise for Ameri can democracy, which he credited j Dr the “high degree of civilization ! which you have achieved.” : Dutra said American resfSect for the law and the rights of others is a “main factor” of democracy and this nation’s strength. The talk came in the middle of a day crowded with activity. The Senate studied a $1,465,OOQ. 000 appropiation bill for the Agri culture Department, already pass ed by the House. Economy advocates who want to balance the budget by cutting gov ernment spending rather than by raising taxes sought .to trim this total, despite two- previous setbacks when they tried to reduce other money bills. 0 On the other side of Capitol Hill, economy advocates got out their knives for a whack at the multi million dollar bill to raise military pay. The measure went on the Ho use floor for four hours of debate. j Two Senate committees gave a j lot of attention to spies and com munists: The appropiations Subcommittee was set to hear Chairman David E LUtenthal of the Atomic Energy Commission testify on the need of his agency for $1,090,000,000 to car ry on Its work for the year beginn ing July 1.
