February 14, 1941, will mark the
ompletion of twelve months of voluntary and effective
elf-regulation by the Brewers & Beer Distributors Com
^littee of Georgia.
In organizing the Committee a year ago, its sponsors
lad in mind these two fundamental objectives:
FIRST—Through wholehearted Committee cooperation
with state and local law-enforcement agencies, to “clean
up or close up” any establishment which abuses the legal
privilege of selling beer.
1 [ SECOND —Through advertising the and people other of forms Georgia of with edu
| cational publicity, to acquaint and improved
the social and economic benefits of orderly
I operation of retail beer outlets. Beer taxes paid to the
I I State of Georgia in the 1939-1940 fiscal year amounted
to S1.1S7.3S2. The brewing industry also provides 10,000
j jobs for Georgians, who receive annually some $6,000,000
in wgges.
The Committee expresses sincere thanks to enforce
■nent officials, the press and citizenry of Georgia, for
■heir support and encouragement that made possible the
following results:
Retailers Warned 228
License* Revoked ...••< 39
Licenses Surrendered 2
....
Outlets Rechecked to Date and
Found-Corrected..... . . 138
Outlets Investigated by Committee . .1,910
With the knowledge that the self-regulation program
Bias improved conditions surrounding beer retailing dur
ing 1940, the Committee faces its second year of service
Brepared and determined to bring about a still better
tecord of accomplishment in 1941.
* You can help attain that worth-while objectn e by
us tol
withholding your patronage from outlets which
erate unwholesome conditions or practices. When
you buy beer, buy it only from a law-abiding retailer.

Boy! Oh Boy! Was the party a
surprise Saturday night and did
everybody enjoy it? All except Ed
ith and how could we help that?
We’ll try to have enough beds for
all the children next time.
. -ert^in “ole
nice respectable crowd =L^ am}
good music and fine voices seem
more like heaven.
Lost end Found Saturday Night!
A blue felt hat, a marble, a pecan,
a pack of cigaretts, a block of
chewing gum, a bob pin, and three
pint bottles. Owners please call at
a certain place and get them if they
can identify each article.
Why did Buck seem so blue a
urday night? He had a “peach ana j
what more would he want in _J an- |
uary? He didn’t get “pudding' but
“pie” is a fine substitute some
times. |
Did Billy get scared Saturday
night? Don't take it so serious
Billy!! It’s all through life, and
was about the same when “Pa
Was Courting Ma.”
If you get sick call on Dr. Chas.
Rastus Fincher; he can quickly set
tle a sick stomach with canned to- |
mf .toes. Did he have many patients
Saturday night? Seems so, from
the empty jars his Ma had to wash j
Sunday morning. Proud, though,
to help the young doctor who says,
“Grandpa and Ganny Fincher were
stepping out Saturday night. ’
Who “Ole Lizzie” (Pete’s car )
burned up? And has she a, surviv
ing “sis” named “Becky” (Terrell's
car)? Does “Becky” have running
fits or was she just “bucking” Fri
day night? She was loaded heavy
in a hurry to get to the Fiddlers’
Convention when all at once the
driver couldn't control her. Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa! Did she stop? Oh
yes (in a ditch bottom side up). So
sudden there were he^d bumpings
and eye-peeping. Great excite
ment Some weeping. Nobody ser
iously hurt. This is to the driver of
“Old Becky” Gee! or Ha! Next
time please and she’ll stay in the
road no matter how big a load,
Don’t ever hollow Whoa! When
you have to squat and bounce like
a toad. Oh my bead! (Boo hoo!) Is
there any body dead? Don’t forget
the spring board the next time you
jump into a “sea of dust.” Results
of wreck: Lois's head is still
swelled; Latrelle's knee is still
bruised: Christine’s head is sore;
Buck’l leg is still swelled; Her
bert’s arm is almost broken. Ter
rell and Jack escaped without be
ing even bruised (Lois's guitar was
scratched).
It seems that the “Swamp An
gels” have really made friends ov
er in Fincher town. They are wel
comed by old and young. In fact
it seems as if they are a great part
of Stewart. Isn't it strange how
monkeys can shed their tails and
sprout wings so quickly? Look out
girls they’ll “fly” away with you!
Have been expecting the phone
to ring every minute since Satur
day night calling the doctor, for
those dried apples had worms in
them and it seems as if someone
ate a nice pile of them from the
way the sack was torn and apples
gone. They were welcome to them
but they might cause an “ache”
that tom; >es won’t cure.
If collards will make anyone
pretty, J. W. Fincher will win the
beauty contest
By the way, has Grandpa found
his “tune” he lost Friday night?
