This Is Our Business
We are not interested in protect
ing that which is not ours.
We are not protecting Czechoslo
vakia, the Mediterranean, China,
Spanish “Loyalists” or “Rebels,” or
any country in Europe or Asia.
Here’s what we have to protect,
which it is our first, last and only
business:
One hundred thirty million Ameri
cans.
Six per cent of the land area of
the world.
Fifty-six per cent of the business
activity of the world.
Fifty per cent of the gold reserve
of the world.
Eleven per cent of the world’s
trade.
Thirty-five per cent of the electric
power of the world. ,
Forty per cent of the coal of the
world.
Sixty per cent of the oil of the
world.
Fifty per cent of the corn of the
world.
Forty-one per cent of the steel of
the world.
Thirty-six per cent of the oats of
the world.
Fifty per cent of the copper of the
world.
Sixty-four per cent of the sulphur
of the world.
One hundred per cent of the hel
ium gas of the world.
Thirty-eight per cent of the rail
road mileage of the world.
Seventy-five per cent of the pas
senger automobiles of the world.
Fifty per cent of telephones
of the world.
Forty-three per cent of the
chemicals of the world.
They are only a few of our assets
to be protected—which Europe
wants to use for her own purposes.
On the spiritual side, we have our
liberties, our constitution and our
native culture and civilization. —

Red Cress Seeks Get
in Accident Tell
1,725,406 First Aiders Trained
Since 1910
Cognizant of tremendous losses in
Human lives and of permanent injuries
resulting from accidents ia homes, on
farms and highways, and around indus
trial plants as well as in the basement
workshop, officials of the American
Red Cross have been directing a sys
tematic -fight against what they term
“this economic waste.”
As part of this nation-wide effort
to reduce deaths and permanent in
juries from accidents, a recent state
ment from Red Cross headquarters in
Washington reports that during the
past 12 months certificates have been
granted to 295,028 persons completing
courses in the administration of Red
Cross first aid.
Holders of these certificates have
followed detailed courses of study and
have been taught how to splint frac
tured limbs, stop flow of blood, treat
poison sufferers, care for victims of
heat, electric shock, and handle other
common emergency situations. The
courses emphasize methods of caring
for patients until professional medical
aid caii be summoned to scenes of accl
lents.
Since 1910, the report reveals, 1,725,-
106 persons have received this training
rom qualified Red Cross instructors,
md at the present time 20,429 persons
.re qualified to give such instruction.
Bringing help nearer scenes of pos
-.ible accident, 2,454 emergency first
dd stations have been established In
strategic locations on principal high
ways throughout the nation, operators
if the stations receiving the prescribed
Red Cross instructions and maintain
ing full first aid equipment on the spot.
REASONABLE
The salesman left his hotel room
early in the morning and took the
elevator to the lobby. He walked
up to the desk and left certain in
structions with the clerk. He then
proceeded to the revolving door, en
tered, and spent the next two min
utes going around and around with
the door.
A puzzled doorman finally halted
him.
“Just a minute, sir,” said the
doorman. “Do you realize you’ve
been going around in this revolving
door for several minutes. There
seems little sense to it.”
The salesman patted the doorman
on the shoulder.
“It’s quite all right,” he murmur
ed. “I’m just taking a walk before
breakfast to sharpen my appetite.”
“Well, sir,” asked the dumb
founded doorman. “Why don’t you
walk down the avenue—instead of
galloping around in a revolving
door?”
The salesman shook his head.
“I can’t go too far,” he explain
ed. “I’m expecting a phone call any
minute!” . . .
Conveniently placed, they also mall
tain up-to-date lists of available doctor,
and ambulance services pledged in ad
vance to cooperate with Rod Cross fir;,
aiders in preventing deaths and perm:

from automobile accidents.

established in cooperation with stat

scribed Red Cross courses in first aid.

sons as possible in life saving methods
During the past year 88,150 person:
received certificates upon completic:
of courses. Since 1914, 884,649 person
have been trained in Red Cross lift
saving methods, including thousand;
of persons in CCC camps, beach patrol

and girls.

The 3,700 Red Cross chapters and their
branches in every county are cooperat
ing in this national effort to end need
less pain and suffering resulting fron
such accidents.
These efforts to lessen such appal)
ing tolls of human lives and usefulness
are made possible through member
ships in the Red Cross. The annual Roll

EDITOR-ORDINARY TOWNSEND
MAKES TWO SOULS HAPPY
Editor J. B. Townsend, who is also
Ordinary of Lumpkin county, had
this experience recorded in the last
issue of the Nugget:
“The other night the Ordinary, J.
B. Townsend, had just gone to bed
at a late hour and had not been
asleep long until someone rang the
door bell, waking him up. So he
jumped out of his bed half asleep,
excited by the continual ringing of
the door bell, and made a “dive” for
the bulb to turn on the light,
(which he missed), thinking maybe
it might be that the house was one
fire; so he grabbed up his overalls
and in putting them on in the dark
he got the hind part in front. So
he finally found his shoes and got
them on, and in making his way to
the door in the dark while one of
his heel irons were lose, waking up
everybody in the house by the jing
ling, he fell over a rocking chair.
So he eventually got to the door and
found a gentleman there waiting for
him to go out a few miles in the
country to perform a marriage cere
mony, which he did, leaving the new
married couple as loving as man and
wife get to be.”

THE HORSE AND BUGGY
DOCTOR
(From Sioux City (Iowa) Journal)
Dr. Arthur E. Hertzler’s book.
“The Horse and Buggy Doctor,” haa
atirred new interest in the old-faah
ioned rural practitioner, one of the
most interesting and most lovable
types in the American cavalcade.
Dr. Hertzler writes with authori
ty, because for years he was a
horse and buggy doctor himself—
in Kansas. He writes not only with
authority but with understanding
humor. He writes with impartiality,
too, chronicling both the virtues and
the shortcoming of pioneer practice
—and of modern practice as well.
Every man and woman of mature
years holds at leust one horse and
buggy doctor in grateful memory—
for service rendered to self or fami
ly. In some measure this probably
accounts for the popularity of Dr.
Hertzler’s book. Through its pages
one easily—and proudly—can fol
low his own country doctor on night
calls in stormy weather over bad
roads, whether in Kansas, lowa,
South Dakota, Nebraska or some
other state.
With all due respect to the aver
age man of medicine of 1938, it is
doubtful whether present day prac
tice, generally speaking, is character
ized by anything like the sentiment
and the sympathy that there was in
earlier day practice—when doctors
were on call like soldiers and would!
travel miles on horse-back or by
buggy, through darkness and cold,
most times at sacrifice of health and
ofttimes at risk of life, to help lift
a pall of gloom from some stricken
home—when, as Dr. Hertzler say*,
doctors seemed to have more time
and, even in hopeless cases, would.
stay at the bedside till the last
breath.
And now there is talk of socializ
ed medicine, with service provided
by state or nation! With that, what
little personal touch yet may remain
between doctor and patient is likeiy
to go with the wind of so called pro
gress and supercivilization.
MAYBE THE PICTURE HAS BEEN
OVER-PUBLICIZED
Ralph T. Jones, in his “Silhouettes
Column” in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, like many others, is getting
anxious over the delay of giving to
the public the screen production of
a popular novel. He says:
“How many years is it, now, since
the screen rights to “Gone With the
Wind” were purchased? How long
since the first eager girl was men
tioned as a possibility for the role
of Scarlett? Perhaps they are wait
ing, in Hollywood, for the ideal Scar
lett to be born and to grow up, be
fore making the picture.
“No screen production in the
history of movies ever received such,
advance publicity as this. Even in
Hollywood, the supreme shrine of
the publicity experts, this long
drawn focusing of attention sets
new records. Maybe they’ve over
done it. Maybe much of the effect
will have worn off, because of too
long delay, when the picture at long
last reaches the projection booths of
our theaters.”
CHARGING FOR ADVICE
The dentist opened the door of
the reception room.
“Next, please,” he smiled.
An attorney arose from his seat
and followed the dentist into the
latter’s office. The lawyer sat him
self in the chair.
“Doc,” he informed, “I have a
tooth that’s bothering me, I want
it extracted.”
“Very well,” said the dentist,
“Which tooth is it, please?”
The attorney opened his mouth,
and indicated the bad molar with
his finger. The doctor nodded . . ,
Fifteen minutes later, the bad
tooth removed, the lawyer got up
from the chair.
“That will be five dollars,” smiled
the dentist.
The lawyer shook his head.
“Sorry,” he countered. “But it's
you who owes me five dollars for
pulling that tooth.”
The dentist’s eyes popped.
“I owe you five dollars!” he
echoed. “How do you figure that?’*
“Very simple,” returned the law
yer smoothly. “Didn’t you ask me
which tooth I wanted out?”
“Naturally,” admitted the dentist.
“Well,” explained the lawyer,
“I’m charging you ten dollars for
the advice!” . . .
They are never alone that are ac
companied with noble thoughts.—
