Otwell Motor Cos., Inc.,
“THE HOUSE SERVICE; BUILT”
GEORGIA PRESS
PLANS A TOUR OF
FOUR STATES
Reception by New President at
Capital to Feature Trip
April 23 to 20.
ATLANTA, GA Beginning Sunday,
April 23, and continuing through Sat
urday, the 29th, tile members of the
Georgia Press Association will be giv
en an opportunity to visit the District
cf Columbia and the states of South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and
Maryland.
The tentative plan is to leave At
lanta via the Southern railroad on
Sunday, April 23, and visit the cities
of Greenville, S. C.; Charlotte, N. C.;
Washington D. C., and Annapolis and
Baltimore, Md.. and West Point, York
town, Jamestown, Williamsburg and
Richmond, Va.
The plan is to spend two days en
route to Washington, arriving there
at 6:40 a. m., the mornh g of Tuesday
the 25th. Sometime that day President
Franklin D. Roosevelt will give a re
ception to the members of the press
party at the White House. One night
will be spent at Washington. The par
ty will leave Washington at 10 a. m.
on the 26th arriving at Annapolis at 11
a. m. Baltimore will be reached at 3:15
p. m. At 6 p. m. the party will leave
Baltimore over the Chesapeake Steam
ship line for West Point. Va., arriving
at the latter place at 7:30 a. m. From
West Point the members will go by
busses to Yorktown, Jamestown, Wil
liamsburg and from there to Rich
mond. The night of the 27th will be
spent at Richmond and all of the 28.
The party will leave Richmond at 6
p. m. on the 28th. arriving in Atlanta
at 9 a. in. the 29th .
Governor Talmadge, President of the
Senate McWhorter and Speaker of the
House Rivers have been especially in
vited to go along with the party and
they have accepted the invitation.
This is going to be one of the most
enjoyable trips ever taken by the Geor
gia Press association and will give
the members an opportunity to see
some of our sister states. It will also
give them an opportunity of visiting
the cradle of American civilization
and view the spot where the first En
glish settlers landed on American soil
It is very probable that President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of congress and, if so, the
members of the party will be given a
chance to see how national questions
are handled. Leaving Washington the
Naval Academy at Annapolis will be
visited.
Fuller details regarding the trip will
he given from time to time. As now
planned it is prosposed to use the re
gular schedule of the Southern rail
road as the frequent passenger trains
over that line from Atlanta to Wash
ington will enable the party to make
the proposed stops. If there are more
than 150 members of the association
a special train will be operated in each
direction and longer stops between
the different points can be made if
desired.
The various newspapers will not be
limited as to the number of people
each can send on this trip, unless, of
course, the number shall far exceed
expectation and then two to each pap
er will have to be the order.

Text of Brief Oath Tak
en by Roosevelt As
suming Presidency
WASHINGTON, March 4—(AP)_
The oath prescribed for Franklin D.
Roosevelt Saturday to induct him into
the office as President of the United
States:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will faithfully execute the office
of President of the United States, and
will, to the best of my ability, preserve
protect and defend the constitution of
the United States.”
Toby Cook Speaks
Over Radio From
Washington Station
WASHINGTON, March 3—Toby
Cook, the seven-year old Chula, Ga.,
hoy who rode to Washington on Shet
land ponies and who will ride one of
them in the inaugural parade Satur-i
day, was a feature speaker on the
Washington Post radio broadcast
Thursday evening.
The diminutive youngster told of the
incidents of his trip, one of which was
the killing of one of his ponies by an
automobile. At first he suffered a lit
tle from “mike fright,” but soon re
gained his composure and made a nice
little talk.
BANK HYSTERIA
The declaring of bank moratoriums and holidays in many
states during the past few weeks has created a unique baulking
situation. Although the banks in Georgia are probably in better
condition than almost ar.ly in the nation and should not be ex
pected to stand the drain of having their funds "cleared” into
states whose ba/.lking funds cannot be “cleared” back into Geor
gia.
Atlanta has many thousands of agencies, branch offices,
district representatives, etc., who look to home offices in other
states for their monthly checks for operating expenses. The bank
reorganizations and moratoriums in these states—notably Mich
igan—gave these representatives marly thousands of dollars in
perfectly good checks except for the fact that temporarily they
could not be cleared; i, e., “cashed” in Atlanta.
The holders of these checks naturally showed them around
in explanation of their temporary financial embarrassment.
The idea got around, especially among women, that if per
fectly “good” checks could not be cashed on banks in other
states they had better prepare for the worst “and get theirs
while they could.” Arid thus begins an incipient “run” on per
fectly sound financial institutions. Mob hysteria would probably
have been the next result had not Governbr Talmadge stepped
into the breach and placed Georgia on a parity with nearly all
the ether states by declaring a legal holiday and giving the hy
steria a chance to subside, or force it to do so by regulatory
withdrawal laws.
We have “been through” six bank disasters—each of which
could have beer.i avoided by prompt action. We have seldom
seen a banker who would accept the notion, but we have always
believed that the best defensive move when a case of “financial
jitters” shows up is an! immediate and direct offensive. Stop a
mob before it starts.
Chevrolet Motor Com
pany Announces New
“Standard Six”
Directly on the heels of the most
successful new car program since 1929
the Chevrolet Motor Company an
nounced today that a companion car
to the present series, to be called the
“STANDARD SIX" Chevrolet and
priced considerably below the present
range, would be shown throughout
the nation Saturday.
About 15,000 of the new models will
have been built and dispatched to
Chevrolet dealers for a simultaneous
national showing, W. S. Knudsen,,
president and general manager, stated
The new “Standard Six” is built for
business use and for that group of
private owners who want a car with
out the deluxe features and extra long
wheelbase of the present Chevrolet
Master Six, he stated. He emphasized
that the new line would offer the low
est-priced, full-size, six-cylinder en
closed models the industry has yet
seen—and would be ideal for severe
utility use.
Anew and slightly smaller Chevro
let has been rumored in trade circles
periodically since April of 1932, a cir
cumstance which Mr. Knudsen attri
buted to the fact that the new line of
cars has been under development for
two years. ( It. will be a quality line
throughout, machined to the same
close limits as the present Chevrolet
and built of the same raw materials,
although it will have a slightly short
er wheelbase and will lack some of
the features and improvements of the
present Master Six line.
In bringing out the new car, Mr.
Knudsen said his company is simply
producing a supplementary line which
will open up new markets and further
entrench the company in its position
of leadership. He added that he ex
pects the new Standard Six to account
for about one-fourth of the company’s
total production and sales in 1933.
“Automobiles,” said Mr.. Knudsen,
“like most everything else, are worth
just about so much a pound. Natur
ally, with a shorter and lighter car,
we can reduce the first cost as well
as the cost of operation.
“There is a growing need for a car
of this type among fleet users. Sim
ilarly, salesman who are not furnish
ed cars, and have to buy their own,
will welcome the ’Standard’ model.
They want dependable, economical
transportation coupled with a reason
able amount of style. But primarily
they want a quality car of low first
cost and low operation and maintenan
ce costs.
“With our present ‘Master model we
have conducted tests on the proving
ground showing a return of as much
as 22 miles to the gallon of gasoline,
with certain models, making the ‘Mast
er’ one of the most economical Chev
rolets ever built. Yet with the new'
’Standard’ car we will be able to bet
ter even this high mark with a car
properly serviced. Similarly, the cost
of maintenance will be commensurate
ly lower, as will insurance rates and
registration fees.
"We feel that with the 'Standard
Six' we will greatly expand our mark
et among people who buy transporta
tion primarily. Undoubtedly many
private users will select the ‘Standard
for personal use, but we expect the

bulk-of our business from the large
fleet user and the commercial travel
er.
“We think that the market is ready
for a car of this type at this time. We
have experienced an improving mark
et for a number of months past, and
have consistently run ahead of last
year since we announced our Master
Six model in December.

CociSMence.
Successful relations between banker and custom
er are largely a matter of confidence.
The banker cannot safely transact business with
a customer in whom he does not have confidence.
The customer in turn must have belief in the in
tegrity and judgment of the man with whom he
deals in the bank.
As bankers, we are not seeking to pry into the
personal affairs of people when we ask questions
about their business or individual finances. That
information is absolutely essential and is valuble
to both the customer and the bank.
The important thing for you to know is that
this information is never revealed to anyone under
any circumstances.
It is used only to further tke customer’s*best
interests in his bank relations.

LOCAL INSPECTOR READY
TO HELP FARMERS APPLY
FOR CROP LOAN
Regulations for 1933 governing crop
production loans have been issued by
the Secretary of Agriculture and are
now available to farmers in this county
upon request to John E. Freeman,
■ Field Inspector of the Crop Product
ion Loan Office. Mr. Freeman’s of
fice is in Cumming.
Instead of writing to Washington or
to one of the regional loan offices, Mr.
Freeman announced, farmers can ob
i tain the necessary application blanks
SI.OO PER YEAR
for loans, and detailed information
about the requirements, direct from
him. Applications will then be review
ed by the county advisory committee,
then certified and forwarded to tins
regional office at Washington for final
approval and action.
The regulations this year specify that
only those who cannot get loans else
where are ellgP.de for loans from the
$90,000,000 fund authorized by Con
gress. Loans can be used only for
crop production, and require the bor
rower to redyye bis acreage of cash
crops 30 per cent under last year, un
less he does not intend to plant more
than X acres of cotton, 2 1-2 acres yl'
tobacco, 8 acres of peanuts, 20 acres
of corn, 12 acres of sugar beets, 2 1-2
acres of truck crops, 8 acres of pota
toes, 30 acres of rice, or 40 acres of
Wheat.
The Maximum permitted to any 01*45
borrower this year is $300: or, in the
case of tenants, the total of all loans
to tenants of any one landlord within
a single county cannot exceed SI2OO.
The actual amount advanced by thi
authorities will depend upon the bor
rower's requirements. A first lien or
mortgage on the crop will be required
The regulations require that loans be
repaid on or before October 31, 1933.
Interest at 5 1-2 per cent, deducted in
advance, will be charged.
Since the loans call for a first lien
on the crop as security, the borrower
frequently has to procure waivers
from prior mortgages or rights. If
tile applicant is a tenant, or is fann
ing land under contract for deed or so
called crop contract, or has given a
prior mortgage on his 1933 crops, the
regulations state he must secure th<;
waivers of the actual owners of the.
land, and of all prior mortgage hold
ers. If tlie applicant is the owner of
the land and farms it with tenants or
share croppers, waivers of such ten
ants or share croppers must be secur
ed. The regulations further specify
tnat the person waiving his prior
rights must agree not to dispose, of
his rent note, mortgage, or other se
curity without first having obtained
the written consent of a duly author
ized agent of the Secretary of Agri
culture.
The regulations make it unlawful
for any person to dispose of or assist
in disposing of any crops given as se
curity for any crop loan, except for
the account of the Secretary of Agri
culture and provide for fine and im
prisonment for violation of such regu
lation. The regulations also require
that each borrower agree to plant a
garden for his home use and sufficient
acreage to furnish feed for bis live
stock.
