Dixie Veterans Are
Taking An Active
Part In Politics
Atlanta, Aug. 12—Former GI Jo<
from the far-flung battlefront is
making his presence known in the
South of the one-party political
system where tradition is the order
and machine rule frequent.
The recent election day battle
of ballots and bullets which the
GI slate won in McMinn county,
Tennessee, was only a spectacular
manifestation of a trend growing
in many parts of the South
For instance, the GI’s have not
been back long, but every fifth
man in the new legislature in
Georgia, which takes off in Jan
uary will be a veteran of the re
cent conflict.
In Georgia also a committee of
fcrnior veterans is working actively
to raise funds with which to fight
Georgia’s time-honored eletorial
system in the courts.
The county unit system is being
attacked on grounds it denies
equal privilege to the voters in
violation of the fourteenth amend
ment.
In North Carolina a group of
World War II veterans has organ
ized the “North Carolina GI Dem
ocrats” and announced plans for
active participation in future elec
lions.
The Athens, Tenn., flare-up is
not the whole story in Tennessee.
In West-Tennessee 26-year-old
John Paul Butler, has started
movement for a state convention
of former servicemen.
The suggestion has met with
considerable response by service
men’s group.
Butler filed a protest with the
state primary board over a legis
lative contest he lost by 14 votes
in the recent Tennessee primary
''’mrher “hot spot” is Arkansas,
which also held its primary this
irunin. a veterans group there is
gathering election irregularities
and asking for removal of certain
officials.

GRAND URY ASKS
FOR COMBI . ED RULE
IN MACON, BIBB
Macon Ga.. Aug- 13—A grand
jury today recommended the con

of Macon and Bibb county, after
hearing a report made by a special
sub-committee.
The sub-committee, appointed
by the grand jury , conducted a
study for several weeks, including
a survey of Denver’s consolidated
government. They endorsed the con
solidation as a “far reaching pro
posal aimed at more efficient and
more economical operation of city

The committee proposed that

people in a special referendum

THANK YOU
for waiting for delivery of your
NEW CHEVROLET
We are doing our best to see that you
get your new car as quickly as possible
Ji
Remember—Our CAR-SERVICE it your best CAR-SAVER. Keep your present
car ’'alive" unfit you get delivery of your new Chevrolet by bringing it to
' vs for skilled service now and at regular intervals.
We want to thank our customers and pro
spective customers for your friendly
patience while awaiting your new
Chevrolets. ,
We know it is a hardship to wait for
needed transportation; but we believe
you will understand that we, and
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as
you are to obtain them. Unfortunately,
production so far this year is far under
expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division
sums up the situation thus:
“Even though our rate of production
normally exceeds that of any other
manufacturer, we have been able to
build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
that date m 1941. Production is stiil
far below normal, because of fre
quent shortages of essential mate
rials and parts. Strike after strike at the
plants of our suppliers has seriously
impeded our progress toward full
production, and the cumulative
effect severely hampers every manu
facturing and assembly plant. In
June we were able to build only
29.2 per cent as many cars as we
produced in the same month in
1941.”
While production is restricted,- so—in
proportion—are shipments of car. to us.
As production increases, we are assured
of getttng our proportionate share of the
total—and as quickly as cars are received,
we will speed deliveries to our customers.
