A Letter From Our Congressman
My dear Constituents:
The weeks roll by swiftly here.
We have been very busy with
committee work and in the daily
sessions. We adjourned for most
of the day Monday, out of respect
for the memory of Hon. George
Seger, of New Jersey, on of our
members who passed away that
morning. Representative Seger had
served in the House 18 years, and
was the ranking Republican mem
ber on the Rivers and Harbors
conscription is heaviest, the vol
untary enlistments are lowest.
Thus, in the roll of states, Ohio is
48th in voluntary enlistments,
Minnesota is 47th, Michigan is
46th, New Jersey 45th, and New
York 44th. Under the draft these
states will furnish their proportion
of the soldiers.
We hope to get home in time to
\ ote in the election.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP.
Committee.
This Administration suffered a
great loss this week, not by death,
as so many of our losses have been
recently, but by the resignation
and retirement of Hon. James A.
Farley, Postmaster General of the
United States, and Chairman of
the National Democratic Commit
tee. Admired for his remarkable
ability, respected for his integri
ty, and liked for his genuine
friendliness, Mr. Farley will be
sorely missed by his millions of
friehds in public life. He will not,
however, disappear from the pub
lic eye entirely. In addition to his
new position with the Coca-Cola
Company, he wall without ques
tion become president of the New
York Yankee baseball team. He
will thereby trade politics for
sports, and he will succeed in his
new environment just as Ije did in
politics. He goes back to private
life with the deep affection and
every good wish of the people he
has served so faithfully and well.
The House this week passed the
“Second Revenue Bill of 1940” or
the Excess Profits Tax Bill. This
Bill was designed to raise revenues
for National Defense and to pre
vent another crop of war profits
millionaires as resulted from the
munitions and armament contracts
of the last World War.
The Senate finally passed, by a
vote of nearly two to one, the Se
lective Military Service Draft
Bill. This Bill will rach us next
week.
It is interesting to note one de
velopment in favor of the passage
of the bill. Had we depended on
voluntary enlistments to fill our
Army and Navy the South would,
in all probability, have furnished
a great deal more than its share
of the Nation's fighting men. Since
January 1st the enlistment record
shows Southern States far >n the
lead in proportion to their popula
tion. Kentucky with 7326 enlist
ments is first followed by Texas,
Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wy
oming, in the order named. Geor
gia, with 5906 enlistments stands
sixth. Under the proposed draft
bill the states will get credit for
these enlistments.
It is interesting to note that in
the states where the opposition to
TIPS ON PAINTS
Investigate the paint formula
before buying paints, warns G. I.
Johnson, Extension agricultural
engineer. Many low-grade paints
carry fillers such as calcium car
bonate, silica, magnesium, silicate,
talc and calcium sulfate. These
are merely cheap substitutes for
white leaed. Mineral spirits and
“paint oil" are often used as a
substitute for linseed oil. The liq
uid or vehicle in oil paints (exter
ior) should contain about 90 per
cent by weight linseed oil. Some
interior paints may contain as
much as 25 per cent water dis
guised as “emulsified solution,’’
“colloidal solution,” solution,” or
“aqueous body agent.”

Pontiac Launches
’41 Torpedo Fleet
Spurred on by the remarkable
success of its new and original
Torpedo models in 1940 and with
its factory and dealer organiza
tion geared up to surpass its
most successful year, Pontiac
Motor Division today is announc
ing a new and original Torpedo
Fleet for 1941.
There will be three complete
lines of cars styled in the Tor
pedo manner . . . longer in wheel
base . • . more graceful . . . roomier
. . . more powerful ... a low
priced DeLlixe Torpedm of 119
inch wheelbase; a daring new
Streamliner Torpedo of 122 inch
.wheelbase; a daring new Stream
liner Torpedo of 122 inch wheel
base and an ultra-smart Custom
Torpedo of the same wheelbase.
They will replace the shorter
wheelbased Special Six, DeLuxe
Six, DeLuxe Eight and Torpedo
Eight of 1940.
Unusual skill and finesse has
been shown by Pontiac engineers
in providing all 1941 models with
either a six cylinder or an eight
cylinder engine.
Thus with many combinations of
colors, bodies, equipment, chassis
and engines available in the new
Torpedo fleet, motorists will have
a wide range from which to choose
in selecting a new Pontiac. And
at the low prices announced, a
high level of values is certain to
continue as it has in recent years.
In one experiment nitrogen los
ses from leaching were nearly 30
times greater on a bare plot than
on a plot blanketed by a winter
cover crop.
Buyers say quality is an import
ant factor to com' v/hen pur
chasing farm products. mmi

2,000 See Spill
At Jackson Lake
2,000 outboard racing fans re
ceived more than the usual share
of spills and thrills at Jackson
Lake last Sunday afternoon. The
thrills came in each of the seven
races tliat were staged over the
waters of the lak and the spill
came in the third race in the
Class C division, when the speedy
craft piloted by George Guy hit
a wave and turned over.
Guy. of Greenville, S. C., was in
the lead on the final turn when
his boat hit a wave and turned
over. Guy was hurled about ten
feet in the air. The boat turned
a complete somersault and as
it righted itself, Guy landed back
in the driver’s seat. Meanwhile
Claude Smith had taken the lead,
but Guy took second place.
The results and times for the
seven races follow:
Class C—First race—Louis Trot
zier, Atlanta; Claude Smith, At
lanta; George Guy, Greenville.
