‘SLOW DOWN AND LIVE’ IS
SLOGAN OF SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Vacationists
Get Reminder
From Official
The thousands of Georgia mo
torists who will hit the road on
their summer vacation trips were
offered this advice today by Geo
rgia oil men: “If you really want
to enjoy yourself — and come
back in one piece as well — you
can’t do better than follow Gov
ernor’s suggestion to ‘slow down
and live’.”
The advice comes from Everett
Millican, Chairman of the Geo
rgia Petroleum Industries Com
mittee, in offering the support
of the state oil industry to the
vacation-period highway safety
campaign
“You and your family should
start enjoying the summer trip
from the moment you pull out
of the driveway,” Mr. Millican
said. “You can do so if you fol
low these three simple rules:
“(1) Take your time in getting
to where you want to go. (2)
Plan to take in the sights along
the way. (3) Be a ‘good neigh
bor’ when you’re inside your car
as well as outside it.”
That way, he added, “you’re
sure to get the maximum in

pleasure—and in safety as well.”
Above all, the oil man warn
ed, “Don’t speed. Safety statis
tics show that excessive speed
is involved in more fatal motor
accidents than any other factor.”
The oil spokesman noted that
expert drivers make it a point
to hold their rate of travel with
in both legal and reasonable
limits. “A highway is only as
safe as the driver. It is ironic
that most fatal accidents occur
under the most favorable of driv
ing conditions. This is when the
amateurs at the wheel push down
on the accelerator and throw
their usual caution out the win
dow vent.”
Since travel on rural highways
is at its peak in the summer va
cation months, Mr. Millican not
ed, “it is easy to see why the
governors of all 48 states have
joined this year for the first
time to promote greater safety in
driving behavior during this per
iod. Each one of us can protect
ourselves if as we drive we ob
serve the three basic rules for
vacation traveling.”
The “slow down and live” cam
paign began Friday, May 27, and
extends until midnight of Labor
Day, September 5.
Motor Club Does
Something About
Litterbug Problem
Atlanta — The Georgia Motor
Club (AAA) has entered the war
against litterbugs by distributing
waxed, water-proofed litterbags
to members or out-of-state visit
ors who call at its office in At
lanta, Macon, Albany, and Rome
for travel information.
In cooperation with other civ
ic groups the motor club urges
all motorists to use bags or other
containers for waste paper, tin
cans, and bottles, rather than tos
sing such debris along Georgia’s
highways.
The Garden Club of Georgia
recently backed a bill passed by
the Georgia legislature making
the depositing of trash upon roads
or right-of-ways, a misdemeanor.
Offenders are subject to fines
up to 1,000 dollars, or a year in
prison.
This law also provides for the
erecting of signs to the traveling
public along highways.
Mrs. Steve C. Tate, Georgia,
Roadside Development Chairman
of the Garden Club of Georgia,
pointed out that for effective
ness an increased awareness of
the litterbug problem must ac
company the legal action.
AD MEN TOLD MERCHANDISING
IS UNDERGOING REVOLUTION
Guaranteed
Pay Said to
Pose Problem
CHICAGO—A New York mer
chandising consultant told ad
vertising men recently “the guar
anteed annual wage is coming”
and that “advertising will be
given the problem of creating
year-round markets for seasonal
items.”
E. B. Weiss, in a prepared ad
dress, told the Advertising Fed
eration of America a “continuing
retail and shopper revolution” is
taking place.
Looking at the future, he said
automation techniques soon will
bee taking over wholesale and re
tail warehousing and ultimately
will be applied to certain phases
of retailing. He added:
“The check-out gate, in par
ticular, will go electronic. I ex
pect also that self-service will
some day reach a point where
the shopper will no longer be
compelled to cart packages to a
check-out point and there lose all
the time she presumably has
saved. I think shelf stocks will
be simply samples—and that
push buttons will register the
shopper’s wants.”
Weiss said the downtown re
tail area is “staging a positive
comeback” while at the same
time an entire shopping center
now competed with another
shopping center.
He said that from 40 to 65 per
cent of the retailing sales volume
now is handled after 4:30 pm.
In many outlying shopping cen
ters he predicted that “retailing
will go increasingly nocturnal.”
He said men will do more buy
ing in the future and influence
still more the buying decision.
New products, he went on, will
hit the market in the next few
years at a pace never before

matched. He added:
“The scientist will hand the
marketing man problems of a
magnitude that well could be
staggering. We must find better
techniques for marketing new
products — and mass retailers
must develop new procedures
that will open roads for new
products instead of throwing up
new product roadblocks.”

most modern V 8 on the road today.

Progress Report
Lists Expansions
In Horticulture
Some 15,000 Georgia 4-H Club
members are working on projects
to beautify their homes, and
more than 20,000 rural families
in this state are given landscap
ing help by county and home
demonstration agents annually,
according to a report by the Agri
cultural Extension Service of
the University of Georgia.
T. G. Williams, Extension land
scape specialist, stated this week
in a special progress report, “Al
though benefits from attractive
and useful surroundings cannot
be measured in money values a
lone, good landscaping can in
crease the value of a home 10
to 25 percent.”
Commenting on plants grown
for ornamental purposes, Roy
Bowden, Extension floriculturist,
said this is a rapidly growing in
dustry. Since the end of World
War II the number of nursery
men in Georgia has doubled,
number of florists has increased
two and one-half times, and the
bulb growing industry has ex
panded from 50 growers in 1950
to more than 400 at present.
Encouraging increases are also
noted in horticultural specialties,
such as growing Christmas trees,
holly for cutting, dahlias for
tubers, and gladioli for cormes
and cut-flowers.
The progress report is being
distributed by local county and
home demonstration agents and
copies may be obtained free at
the offices of these agents.
This report is one of a series
published by the Agricultural
Extension Service to cite chang
es in Georgia farming and rural
living.
Estimates of the damage caused
each year by clothes moths and
carpet beetles in the United
States range from $200,000,000 to
$500,000,000.
