How's Your
PICK-UP?
Do you pick up the re
ceiver promptly when your
telephone rings, or do you
sometimes delay a little?
You know, unless you an
swer a call just as soon as
you can, the calling party
may think you’re absent
and hang up . . . And it
might be an important
call you’ve missed.
And how about youi
HANGUP?
When making a call, be
slow to hang up if you
don’t get an answer im
mediately. The person
you’re calling may be some
distance away from his tel
ephone or otherwise un
able to answer promptly.
So allow his telephone to
ring until you re sure no
one is going to answer,
just a few moments wait
ing on your part will save
you time in the long run,
because you’ll complete
more calls.
BE QUICK ON THE PICK-UP. o •
SLOW ON THE HANO-UP...
And you'll get more i«tiii«ction
from your telephone service

National Newspaper Week
October IS
(\ EORGIANS who have learned through years
II of satisfied experience to depend on Geor
gia's weekly and daily newspapers for their ac
quaintance with events at home and abroad will
applaud the celebration of National Newspaper
Week. They will recognize that this is not just
another “week,” because today, more than in
many years, they look to their newspapers — not
only for the news, but for much of its interpre
tation. le Americans depend on our news
papers to let us know where ww stand in the
world. Our newspapers are quick to agree that
tL»in fact puts them on their mettle — sharpens
their responsibility to believing readers—makes
them merit use of the theme they have chosen
for their week of formal dedication to continued
service of the public . . . “ The Press Consti
tutes the First Line of Defense in the Battle for
the Maintenance of Democracy .”

j My Dear Constituents:
Smce writing my last letter
you. the House has passed the Se
lective Service Act, the President
has approved it, and under its
provisions he has set October 16
as the date for registration ol
those coming within the age lim
its of 21 to 35. Sentiment is
overwhelmingly in favor of this
measure, and the young men seem
not only willing, but anxious to
receive the training, knowing that
should our country become in
volved in war they would be call
ed upon to fight, and desiring to
be trained and prepared against
such an event.
I have just returned from the
funeral of our beloved Speaker,
and one of the nation's greatest j
statesmen. William 3. Bankhead
He passed away Sunday after sev- j
eral days illness from a heart
stroke. He was given a state fun- j
eral in the chamber of he House
of Representaives, beginning at :
12:30 p. m., on Monday, and af- j
terward the remains were taken
by train to his beloved home town
of Jasper, Alabama, where fun
eral services were held in the
Methodist church, of which he
had been a lifelong member, at
2:30 on Tuesday.
On the long funeral train car
tying his remains were the fam
ily, 24 senators and 93 members of
the House, who had been appoint
ed as an honorary escort. Travel
ing immediately behind this train
was the Presidential President, special on j
which were the the
vice-presidential candidate, Mr. !
Wallace and the members of the
President’s cabinet.
The south and the entire nation
mourn with Alabama the death
of this great man. He was a
scholarly Christian gentleman of
the distinct Southern type. As
speaker he was so broad in his
outlook and so impartial and fair
in his rulings that he held the ad
miration of the Republican mi
nority as well as that of his Dem
ocratic colleagues.
Mr. Bankhead came of a family j
long noted for leadership in pub
lie affairs. His father, John Hoi
lis Bankhead, represented Ala-:
bama m the House and Senate j
from 1886 until his death in 1920,
and was author of the Federal Aid
System of highways. His broth- j
er, John H. Bankhead II, is serv
ing at the present time as a Sen
ator from Alabama and has been
the author of important farm leg
islation. The Speaker served
since 1917 in the House of Repre
sentatives; so you see this family
has been serving in the Congress
for over a half century.
The Speaker had the rare dis
the three highest positions in the
House: Chairman of the Rules
Committee in the 73rd Congress;
Majority Leader in the 74th Con
gress; and Speaker since then.
He always found pleasure in ad -
vising and helping new members
and I shall always appreciate and
remember th emany kindnesses
and the assistance he rendered me.
A welve o’clock Tuesday, just
before the state funeral at 12:30.
the House unanimously elected
Hon. Sam Rayburn, of Texas, as
Speaker to succeed Mr. Bank
head. As Mr. Rayburn accepted,

Georgians Mourn
William Bankhead
The untimely death of Speaker
0 f the U. S. House of Representa
tives, William B. Bankhead of
Alabama > has saddened his many
friends and admirers in his neigh
boring state of Georgia, Bank
head, was stricken in Baltimoi<
last week just as he was slated tt
address a political rally for the
Democratic Party. Death came on
Sunday, caused by a rupture ni
a blood vessel in his stomach
according to the attending phv
i sician.
Commenting on the veteran
democrat’s death, the Macon
Telegraph said in an editorial,
“. . . it seems probable that the
strain of his heavy duties may
have contributed to the sudden
passing of William B. Bankhead
of Alabama, the news of which
has given a shock to the Ameri
can people, particularly here in
the South where he was held in
warm esteem . . . Son and
brother of a United States Sena
tor, he carried on a fine tradi
tion i ' of r the , , family n ■ ^ throughout a
long public service and his death
will be sincerely mourned.”

Launched for ’41
I
Oldsmobile today launches its
1941 season with a display of,six
new series—three sixes and three
eights—that present the widest
variety ever offered in the 43
year history of the company
There is now both a six and an
eight cylinder Oldsmobile in each
the three price fields which
the company covered in recent
seasons.
Oldsmobile’s exclusive Hydra
Matic drive, that eliminates the
clutch, clutch pedal and shifts
gears automatically, is again op
tional ,at extra cost, on all models
and due to enlarged production
fr duties, promises to be a de
cisively greater sales factor in
1941. Increased room and com
fort, greater engine power, strik
ing new body designs, and scores
of detailed improvements all bear
witness to the genius for progress
that carried Oldsmobile in 1940
to the highest sales mark the com
pany ever reached.
Examination of Oldsmobile’s
six lines of cars reveals that in
the low-priced field, this year,
the Special Series replaces the
“6$” models of former years.
Wheelbase of this series has been
extnded to 119 inches, and horse
power of the 6-cylinder model
has been upped to an even 199
from the 95 of last year. Wholly
n,ew, and bound to attract keen
interest in this highly competitive
market is the new 8-cylinder
Special Series, with 110 horse
pqwer to give it flashing perfor
, mance.
