On Guard
High above deck, the lookout strains for a glimpse of
-the ominous streak that a periscope makes as it cuts
sharklike through black waters.
Here at home, vigilant Georgians are on guard
against another kind of enemy. They are determined
to rid our communities of the irresponsible few who
exploit their business or profession with a selfish
disregard for the law.
In Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer industry, for example,
an effective method has been worked out for dealing
with the small minority of beer retailers who break
the law.
First, they are warned to clean up immediately.
If this urgent warning is not heeded, they are turned
over to your law officers to be closed up.
Only ths reputable beer retailer deserves
reputable patronage. That’s how YOU can help.

COUNTY AGENT SAYS
USE FEWER TRUCKS
TO MOVE PRODUCTS
County Agent W. C. Rushing this
week advised Seminole county farm
ers, who are now hauling farm pro
ducts to market by truck, to adopt the
slogan “Don’t go Empty”.
Farmers in Seminole county are
producing extra food crops and live
stock products and yet are taking
them to market with fewer trucks, he
said. They are doubling up, pooling
loads, and cooperating with neighbors
in every way possible to reduce the.
number of trips to town.
Probably there will not be many
truck tires available to farmers for
a long time, the agent explained, and
the number of new trucks left in
dealers’ show rooms is limited. So
fanners are looking ahead and mak
ing trucks and tires last as long as
possible by cooperating with their
neighbors and reducing the number
of trips to town by keeping larger
supplies of feed, fuel, and groceries 00
hand.
Mr. Rushing reminded Seminole
county farmers that they can also
lengthen the life of trucks and tires
by observing a few precautions. He
suggested having wheels aligned, in
flating tires properly, keeping tires
off oily or greasy floors, and driving
no faster than 30 miles par hour.
