Here we are folks, back from
'he Covington News luncheon—a
lef i letter day in the life of a
struggling young journalist — or
maybe I m being optimistic about
'be journalist part. But if I were
a pessimist it would only be worse
s0 maybe it's all for the best. Any
"’ay, back to the luncheon ... it
rated the Constitution and et cet
eta. Everything went along fine
until (1) the Editor referred to us
as the “country correspondents”—
and sure enough they were all
from the country except me and
I was born there so I guess that
makes it unanimous. (2) until
your columnist was asked to make
a speech, and then the acts of sur
viving and succumbing had a tigh
race, but we survived it—wonder
ing if all Sports Editors wear
shoes like Tom Kinney’s . . .
Which reminds me somebody said

Some conception of the demand for the 1940 Chevrolet may be gained from
the fart that the one-millionth model of this year's production left the
assembly line at Flint. Mich., on Jul^ 12. In celebration of the public appre
elation reflected by this tremendous production record, M. E. Coyle, general
manager of Chevrolet, shown (left) above with W. E. Holler, general sales

The change, which will be incor

to the law, will bring the state's
job insurance into conformity with
federal tax requirements, which
already exempt such wages from
the tax base.
Commissioner Huiet said the
exemption will not impair the sol
