ETC. DON'T FORGET THAT GOOD SHOLAR'S MEAL AT ALL GROCERY STORES i THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 24, 1950, JUST BETWEEN US By CLIFF OWSLEY ■ HERE IS SOMETHING the City Council of Cairo, and other towns, ought to take up and con sider: the passage of an ordinance making it un iaa lawful for these traveling peddlers with a fast sales pitch to set up shop in the city and take people’s money in exchange for a few gew-jaws WmM and inferior trinkets. We had one of these gyp-artists pay us a visit last Saturday. Within a few minutes after set ■ ting up shop near Mizell’s Drug Store, he had a crowd of some 200 people around him. I don’t know how much mon ey he took in. But a safe estimate would be at least $60, and perhaps $100. He may have had $15 invested in the trinkets distributed. Any way you look at it, it was a rather In all probability, had he not come along, that same $60 or $100 would have been spent here in town where it would have re mained in circulation locally, and and those who spent it would have more for their money. course when the gadgets prove worthless, as they are likely do, you can always return —'IF you can find your peddler. ANOTHER GAME in the same category is fortune-telling. Currently they seemed to have descended on this area in droves. A state law will have to be passed for them, but that too will come. It’s all superstition and hokus pokus nonsense designed to sep arate you and your money. Here is an example of their art: For tune-teller takes your hand, ex amines the palm. Fortune-teller: “Are you planning to build a home?” Person having fortune told: “Yes, we plan to build a home some day.” Fortune-tell er: “You will build a home.” Amazing deduction! For/tune-teller: “Is your hus band thinking of going into busi ness for himself?” Subject: “Yes, he has thought of it. Fortune teller: “Yes, I see right here in your hand that he will go into business for himself and become very prosperous.” Can you im agine how they know things like that! Any person with average in telligence could set themselves up as fortune-tellers, and within a week be as good at the “art” as the old-timers are. I’ll admit they are smart, though. How many of those who have their fortune told can af ford to drive the latest model au tomobile and support seven or eight comrades? Yes, I suppose they are smarter than the average person. POLITICAL NOTE: After dis cussing the matter briefly with the Honorable H. H. Wind, I should say it is almost certain that he will enter the race for the Senate from this county. * ♦ * IS YOUR RADIO sick? You might take it down to the new Cairo Radio Clinic on First Ave nue near the overpass and get it examined. VERNON HARD WICK, R. D. (Radio Doctor) has just finished a course in radio at South Georgia Trade and Voca tional School, Americus, and has hung out his shingle here. Ver non may not be any better radio mechanic than some of the other established ones; but you could give a little encouragement to a young man just starting out in business. His phone is 408-K. DOES IT PAY—to advertise in The Messenger? The merchants —ten of them—who participated in the special ice-cream sale last SEED SEED SEED !

Estimating from reports from ^ ,, ve ihese merchants, indica t! °ns are that approximately 160 S a ^ ons or i2°0 pints of ice cream was s0 ^ as a resu ^ a d Two of these stores made an extra -special of the ice cream deal and gave away individual cones to all who asked for them. CURTIS SUPER MARKET gave away about 2,000 cones and sold 40 gallons, BOB’S GROCERY also gave free approximately 2, 000 cones, and sold 25 gallons. DUCHESS ICE CREAM com pany considered it the best pro motion they had put on. POWELL’S GROCERY report ed they sold about three times as much ice cream. Other participating merchants all of whom reported consider ably increased sales were: HAR RY’S AMOCO SERVICE STA TION, NAN OIL CO., GLOVER’S GROCERY, MURRAY’S GRO CERY & MKT., T. J. WILLIAMS SERVICE STATION, MIZE GRO CERY, and WESTON’S GRO CERY. Judging from this, it doesn’t cost to advertise in the Messen ger —IT PAYS. Whig ham Youth In Teen Talk Studies Beginning Friday of this week, the upper classes of Whigham Public School started their an nual study of the Teen Talk Series. It is being sponsored by the Gray-Y Club of Whigham School. The seven weeks study this year is composed of studies of personality, use of alcohol, the bad results of the gambling habit, vocation or occupation, the use of one’s time out of school, the meaning of liberty, and studying to show ourselves approved. Mrs. Ruth Rivers and this sec tion of seventh grade led the study this week in a panel dis cussion arrangement. Next week, the physics class will lead the discussion on the study of alco hol. Other discussions along dur ing the seven weeks are to be led by other groups in the school, and some by the ministers of the community. Teachers and outsiders enjoy these studies as well as the pupils. The public has an invitation to attend.
