Some Content to Linger / long and Glc-it Over Past Performance Find Story of Hare and Tortoise Repeated; All Gifts Yet to Be Won GIFT WINNERS WILL BE DETERMINED ON FUTURE ACTIVITY; BIG DAYS HERE Second Period Vote Values and Opportunities Are Discussed; Mathematics Demonstrates Chance for You If You Will But ’ Grasp It “Have they been turning in much this week?” is a question asked the circulation campaign manager nu merous times Saturday and Friday by participants calling at headquar ters to make turn-ins in the Tia.es- Recorder’s SIO,OOO Gift Distribu tion. “Have they been turning in much this week?” seemed to be a question uppermost in the minds of most candidates. Some asked the question because they, themselves had taken an ac tual and mental vacation this past week. They wondered if others had, too. Misery loves company, you know. Others asked the ques-1 tion because they were hitting the | ball with good results and hoped I competitors were sleeping. Yes, “They” Are Working The answer is that “they” have 1 been turning in much this tvee. However, the “they” referred to in ; most cases, consists of participants who, in the past, have not averaged I so high in rank. “They” have | awakened while some others, ap-1 parently content with past perform-1 ance, wer content to linger f along and gloat over their good work. It is not what you did last’ period that is going to win for you I Just store this statement away and remember it. And the reason is be-| cause of the closeness of the race. Without the splittnig of hairs, it is impossible to tell whotoday’s lead er is in any district. Those who constitute the first division of the scores, that is the leaders and im mediate runners-up, are on such! even terms that the race will be de- J cided on the future activity or inactivity of the several partici pants. That’s why this big second per iod vote schedule and this big sec ond period, itself, is so important. DISTRICT NO. 1 District No. 1 will include ell participants who reside within the corporate limits of the City of Americus. One or two of the automobiles and as many prizes as there are active candidates will be awarded in this district. CLARK, Mrs. C. E 866.150 CAS FELLOW, Mrs. M.

Y’et sev eral are well within striking dis tance of the’ goal. Work done these remaining second period days, or the lack of it will most likely be the determining factor in deciding who will win the big gifts. Time Is Limited Up until a week from Saturday night a six year subscription cred its one with 290,000 votes regular ly. If the subscription is a new one there are 40,000 bonus votes on each new year, or 240,000 votes. The sum of 290,000 votes and I 240,000 votes is 530,000 votes. A | six yoar subscription by carrier sell- I for $46.80 and by mali for $36. ■ For every “club” of subscriptions ' turned in 100,000 extra votes are ! given. A “club” is sl2 in sub scriptions. A six year subscription, ; then, counts almost four clubs, our i clubs means 400,000 votes. Add i this to the 530,000 and we have a { total of around 930,000 votes for a | six year subscription, this big vote | period. All new subscriptions this period : i ntitle partciipants to a bonus vote ' of 40,000 for each new year. A one year subscription this big vote period counts 8,000 votes. Four will I count 32,00$ votes. A one-year subscription sells for $7.80 by car rier and $6 by mail and is more than one club. That means 100,000 extra votes. So four renewal sub scriptions for a year will credit you j 132,000’ votes. If the four are new then there are four bonuses of ' 40,000 each or 100,000. This added to the 132,000 brings the total 292,000 votes. Ten one-year new subscriptions this period will credit any participant with all of 780,000 votes. All subscriptions this period, whether old or new, rae valuable.
