“The Product of Experience”
Model “Four-Ninety” Touring Car, $490
The Biggest Triumph Of The Automobile Industry
The Chevrolet is not in any sense a product of mushroom growth. It is the result of a predeter*
mined policy based on sound manufacturing principals and wide experience in the automobile busi
ness. The parent company was organized several years ago by men whose foresight led • them to
discern the tremendous future for the medium and low-priced automobile, combining distinctiveness
in appearance, sturdiness in construction, as well as being powerful and economical. It has proven
an instantaneous success. In planning for the future they were not theorizing or dreaming—they
were amply fitted to do so by virture of their combined manufacturing knowledge, merchandising
ability, experience and financial strength. They built their car on the highest type of practical en
gineering. It has the finest materials that can be purchased. They have come to Georgia, with
heabquarters in Atlanta, where an assembling plant will be constructed in the near future.

The Banner takes pleasure in pre
senting the following appeal from
Prof. Lustrat, on behalf of the war-
sufferers in France. The letter of
Mr. Lustrat and the news Cable
grams explain tbe situation fully. It
is not necessary for the Banner to
make any other appeal—Athens peo
ple are pretty well informed as to the
Bituation. a situation which challenges
the best response which the good peo
pie of this city and section can. make
—and they are always ready to re
spond to the real call for help. Mr.
Lustrat says:
Mr. Lustrat's Letter.
Athens Banner,
Athens, Ca.
Dear Mr. Rowe:
Dr. F. E May, executive secretary
of the Georgia W T ar Relief Committeo
for France sends me copies of the
following cablegrams received by him
at recent dates. Please kindly pub-
lish them in your paper. (The cable
grams alluded to are appended below
this letter.)
May I be permitted to add a few
words to these cables, which already
speak so eloquently for themselves.
Misery is great in northern France
and in all the invaded countries. Out
of the twenty thousand civilian pris
oners being returned to France, five
thousand are insane and five thous
and tuberculous. Besides in Artois
and Champagne thousands of children
are orphans, and without anybody to
care for them, thousands of women
and old men are entirely destitute
and lacking the most essential neces
sities of life.
Begging, dear Mr. Rowe, has no
special charm for me, 1 assure you,
but when one begs for his own moth
er, when one asks his friends and all
the good people of his community to
help him keep from starving those
who are bo dear to him, begging then
Is a grand and noble duty.
This is the way I feel about it and
this is why I do not hesitate to ask
the good hearted people o-T AtBens to
open once more their pocket books
and once metre to give generously to
the noble cause that I am proud to
represent here.
Subscriptions may be sent to me
or deposited at the Athens Banner;
they will be properly forwarded to
Dr. F. E. May.
Your? sincerely,
J. LUSTRAT.
News From the Front.
From the War Relief Clearing
House for France and Her Allies, Dr.
May has received the following:
“Children:
“In and about Paris and in the
Seine Inferieure there are about
seven thousand children running in
age from 14 to mere infancy, who
have no other care or attention than
can be given them by societies which
have been hastily organized for their
protection. These societies are with
out funds sufficient to provide ade
quately for the children whose condi
tion is most deplorable. In addition
to these 7,000 children we understand
that there is almost an equal number
In the city of Reims. A very large
part of these children are orphans;
others have been forced to leave their
parents who have remained close to
the firing line and have been unable
to maintain them. Many have been
separated from their parents' and
have lost their identity altogether.
The condition of these children re
quires an immediate supply of cloth
ing to shield them from the rigour
of winter and next to aid in providing
them with food.”
We urgently solicit contributions
of clothing and funds with which to
asist these innocent and unfortunate
victims of the war.
Packages of supplies together with
a detailed list of contents, if plainly
marked with the names and addresses
of the contributor and consignee and
shipped prepaid to the warehouse of
the war relief clearing house, 150
Bank street, New York City, will be
transported from New York to desti
nation * by the war relief clearing
house without expense to the con
tributors.
Will you not give this appeal all
the publicity possible through your
press and otherwise?
Cash contributions and all inquiries
should be addressed to
CLYDE. A. PRlATT,
Executive Secretary, War Relief
Clearing House, 15 Broad Street,
New York City, Dec. 18, 1916.
Sad Messages.
From New York headquarters, Dr.
May received the following Saturday:
A cablegram just received from the
American relief tel earing house of
Paris, reads as follows:
“We art: officially informed expect
ed repatriation of over twenty thous
and children, women and old men
(civilian prisoners being returned by
Germany.) Of this number five thous
and are insane and five thousand tu
berculous. Conditions appalling. Can
you help? Our stock of clothing en
tirely exhaused and this is most need
ed.”
As the cablegram indicates, we are
entirely unprepared for these twenty
thousand helpless people and we,
therefore, call upon the generous
American public to aid us in furnish
ing the relief promised in our answer
to the above cable.
Will you not send us today your
Christmas contribution of anything in
the way of clothing (if clean and in
good repair), and a cash contribution
will be most acceptable.

Athens High School Boys are Now
Making Fine University Records
The city of Athens has every rea
son to be proud of the young men who
have bten trained in the high school
of the city for their university or col
lege courses—and especially is the
splendid work of these young men no
ticeable in the present student body
of the University of Georgia. Every
year the new freshman class at the
University has several members from
the last graduating class of the high
school—and they always take a lead
ing stand in their work.
This year is a typical year and the
following facts and statistics are es
pecially interesting:
Eight graduates entered the fresh
man class. Every one of them up
in his work, and most of them doing
work graded from B to A plus.
In one section of freshman math
ematics high school boys came first,
second, and fifth.
In one section of freshman English
high school boys came first and sec
ond.
A high school boy led the whole
freshman clas in Latin.
A high school hoy, though a fresh
man in other studies, led the fourth,
or sophomore German.
- J. high school boy came third iD
freshman Greek. The students com
ing first and second are sophomore?
