BORROWING —
Some people who find it necessary or’ advantag
eous to borrow money feel a certain hesitancy or em
barrassment in applying to a bank for a loan.
This should not be. We hire money just as a ga
rage hires out an automobile or a landlord rents a
room. You should feel no more hesitancy in applying
to us for a loan than you would in going to a store to
make a purchase. Both are business transactions.
If you are entitled by credit standards to the
accommodation you seek, we are just as anxious to
lend you the money as you are to borrow it.

Postmaster J. Emory Houston re
minded postoffice patrons this week
that it now requires 12 cents to
carry a letter air mail to service
men outside the United States, pro
vided the letter weighs more than
one-half ounce.
A recent change in postal rates
now makes it necessary to place six
cents for each half ounce, Mr. Hous
ton stated. He also warned patrons
to mail their Christmas cards now if
they expect them to be delivered
by Christmas Day. U. S. postoffices

spreading the news of the govern
ment’s “Share-the-Meat-for-Victory”
program.
It is the job of this committee and
their workers to educate the people
of Blakely and Early county to the
urgent need of limiting and cutting
down on their meat consumption.
Mrs. Debnam explained that in order
to meet the needs of our armed
forces and our Allies, that we must
limit our meat consumption to the
amount specified by the government’s
regulation. “Giving up just about
a bite a day, or just about four-sev
enths of an aunce, is all that is re
quired to keep the average consump
tion down to 2 1-2 pounds per week
per person,” Mrs. Debnam stated.
Acting as Block Leaders, who will
go over the city this week distrib
uting leaflets which explain the
“share-the-meat” program are: Mrs.
R. C. Singletary, Sr., Mrs. F. D.
Grist, Mrs. Chipstead Grubbs, Mrs.
Clarence Pullen, Mrs. Roy McKinney,
Mi's. S. P. Holland, Mrs. R. C. Sin
gletary, Jr., Miss Clyde Morgan,
Mrs. C. P. Gay, Mrs. E. H. Cheek,
Mrs. H. B. Fulmer, Mrs. Philip Grier,
Mrs. E. P. Whitehead, Mrs. W. A.
Fuqua, Mrs. Ed Chancy, Mrs. J. B.
Murdock, Mrs. E. D. Morton, Miss
Mary X. Blown, Mrs. S. B. King,
Mrs. F. P. Davis, Mrs. Willard Du
Bose, Mrs. Ernest Dunn, Mrs. J. M.
Coile, Mrs. Sevola Jones, Mrs.
Alice Rhodes Dennis.
The following is the amount of
meat allowed each person under the
government program: Men, women
and children under 12 years of age,
2 1-2 pounds per week; children 6
to 12 years of age, 1 1-2 pounds;
children under six years of age, 3-4
pound.

Junior Red Cross
Roll Call Goes Over
100 Per Cent
The Junior Red Cross Roll Call j
which ended this week went over
100 per cent, according to Miss Mil-!
died Tarver, county chairman, who j
announced the final figures on this
drive.
Each school in the county con
tributed something toward this
drive, Miss Tarver said. There are !
13 white schools and 42 colored j
schools in the county with an en
rollment of 2,076 students in the
white schools and 2,4-37 in the Ne
gro schools. Each student contrib
uted money or labor to the drive,
making the roll call one hundred
per cent and a perfect record.
A total of $136.50 was contrib
uted, with the white schools raising
$91.90 ancl the Negro schools $44.60.
Miss Tarver was elated over the
splendid job done by £he county
school children and the teachers who
participated in this important under
taking and expressed her apprecia
tion to all those who in any way,
large or small, contributed to the
success of the drive.
MONTH OF DECEMBER
IS OPEN TO DOVE
SHOOTING IN STATE
Georgia hunters have the month
of December to do their dove shoot
ing, Wildlife Director Cravey an
nounced this week.
He said Federal regulations have
cut 11 days off the season this year,
as compared with last. This was |
done as a conservation measure be- j
cause the national dove population j
is still far short of the normal point.
Also, the limit has been cut and
the hunter is permitted to bag only
10 instead of 12 as he could do
last season.
Other regulations which apply also
for ducks and geese, which likewise
come under Federal government reg
ulation, prohibit the use of an auto
matic unless it is plugged to contain
no more than three shells. Shoot
ing over a baited field is taboo and
hunters must call it a at sun-
down.
Director Cravey asked hunters to
abide by regulations which were
enacted to protect the diminshed
dove population. He reminded that
unless this game bird is given a
chance to come back in greater
numbers, it eventually may suffer
the same fate as the passenger
pigeon—“complete extinction.”
While the dove picture is not so
bright, that for deer, quail and
ducks is extremely good in sections
where they exist. The statewide
season on all game, which the hunt
er can kill in this state, is now open.
Excellent opportunity now open
for progressive person to take over
established Watkins route in Blakely.
No car or investment necessary.
