ALFALFA APHID
MAKES APPEARANCE
When the spotted alfalfa aphid
was reported in Henry county
recently, it marked the first time
this pest had been found in Geor
gia. But Dr. C. R. Jordan, entom
ologist for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, said the insect
has long been a pest on alfalfa
west of the Mississippi river. It
is about the size of the cotton
aphid, light yellow to dirty white,
and has six rows of small black
dots on its back.
Religiously Speaking
ALCOHOL AND
ADVERTISING
Most of us are aware of the
power and importance of adver
tising. Its value has been char
acterized by this phrase, ‘’Adver
tising does not cost; it pays.”
Wise people know this fact.
According to figures compiled by
“Advertising Age,” the auto in
dustry last year invested in ad
vertising an average of $20.34 for
each car sold—or about one per
cent of retail price. It is need
less to say that they sold cars.
This percentage is generally true
in many other industries.
The government testified elo
quently to the power of adver
tising with the word that comes
down the line that it is giving
thought to the sale of advertis
ing space on tax forms.
It is because of these facts,
multiplied many times, many
feel that the problems of alcohol
could be lessened if its sale was
not advertised.

Therefore, Congressman Siler
of Kentucky introduced HR 4627
and Senator Langer of North Da
kota introduced S. 923, twin bills
designed to prohibit the inter
state advertising of alcoholic bev
erages over radio, TV, and thr
ough printed media.
Public hearings were held on
these bills February 15 and 16 at
which large representations from
church and temperance organiza
tions over the nation gave strong
support. The Committee mem
bers reported that their mail
from the grass roots in the sup
port of these bills exceeded any
they had had on any other is
sue.
As yet no report has been
made to Congress. However, en
ough has been done to indicate
that the bills have a chance of
passing into law.
It was with interest that we
read this Editorial taken from
the Butler Herald: “For the 27
years I have edited the Calhoun
Times,” says friend J. R. McGin
ty, “no liquor advertising has ap
peared in its columns.
“The purpose of newspaper ad
vertising is to increase the sale
of the goods, and those of us
connected with this newspaper
have complete faith that adver
tising carried in its columns does
that.
“This policy has led into de
clining financially profitable ad
vertising contracts, but the loss
of this sort of money has never
tempted us to change the policy.
“I got to wondering what the
attitude of Georgia’s 195 week
ly newspapers as a whole was
on the subject of alcoholic bev
erage advertising, and decided to
check the information on the
subject in the 1956 Director of
Georgia Newspapers published by
the Georgia Press Association. I
was gratified to find that 157 of
these newspapers, or 80 per cent
of the total, do not accept whis
key advertising; 126 papers or 64
per cent do not accept liquor or
wine ads but will accept beer
ads; 85 newspapers or 44 per
cent of the total will not accept
any kind of alcoholic beverage
ads—liquor, wine or beer.”
“The Herald is delighted to say
that no liquor advertising has
appeared in its advertising col
umns during our more than five
years connection with this pub
lication.”
We are grateful for these
newspapers and the insight they
have into the dangers of adver
tising alcohol. We are proud of
our own Blackshear Times which
does not accept liquor advertis
ing. May there be more.

FLOOR CLEANING TIP
Here’s a tip to homemakers on
keeping floors: “The floor should
be kept clean, not made clean
once or twice a year.” Miss Hil
da Dailey, Extension Service
home economist who made the
suggestion, pointed out that
cleaning more often takes less
time and energy, preserves the
surface, and makes the job of
house cleaning more interesting.
