FRIDAY OCTOBER 19, 1923
Some people seem to “think they
make a gain when they exchange
flowers and trees and grass and bird
gongs, for brick walls and “Keep ofl
the grass” signs in some city.
THE GOOD OLD TIMES
Many of the old timers are con
vinced that these are extremely de
generate days, and things were much
better in their youth. Feople have
the idea that in the older days of
this country, when life was relative
ly simple and many modern avenues
for dissipation and fraud did not
exist, people lived purer and health
ier lives.
But records of conditions prevail
ing a hundred years or soo ago in
this country suggest that there was
an enormouse amonut of fraud. An
unsound banking sydtem was one
thing that made a fot of opportuni
ties for sharp practice. A vast tribe
of swindlers were operating all over
the country getting the money of
honest people away from them.
judging from the accounts of those
times conditions were far worse than
they have been of late.
In these times there are plenty of
frauds, and a lot of sharpers are
preying on the public. But the
great majority of business men urn
derstand perfectly that it pays to
be honest. They are doing their best
to serve the public faithfully.
The public find that the honest
business man is theé#rule and if the
people get taken in, it is usually be
cause they have not exercised com
mon prudence, and have not taken
the good advice that was so casily
open to them in their home city if
they would only look for it.
The past is seen by many people
in a kind of haze of idealism and
romance. It was not so easy to
steal and cheat on a big scale in
those times, since there was relative
ly so little wealth to prey upon. But
if the old timers of those days were
to come to life now, they would
think the world had advanced by
many stages in moral Pprogress as
well as scientific achievement.
PROMOTING TRADE
The advance of a country town
depends in large measure on the
activity which its merchants show
in holding the trade that naturally
belongs to them and reaching out
for more. Many rural centers arc
the natural trading point for a large
territory, yet by the lack of a cer
tain spirit of hustle and enterprise,
they may fdil to get the retail busi
ness that they could have, and the
progress of their community is
hampered.
Every town center should do a
certain amount of active and co
operative work in pursuit of this
end. The fall and winter season is
a splendid time to consider this mat
ter, and lay plans for the future de
velopment of retail trade. Com
mittees should be working on plans
here in Oglethorpe by which ow
retail business could draw patronage
from a wider territory.
A first reqisite in any such cam
paign is of course a rational amount
of advertising. When the merchants
of a town advertise, they not merely
compete with each other in a race
to see which shall win the most pub
lic interest. They also wark united
ly to push the town ahead. |
The man out in the country who
reads- 'A’s advedtisement’ in The
Citizen and is interested to come in
and buy at that store, mfiy also take
the time while here to visit B® store
and buy something there. The in
terests of all are united in this way.
Whatever helps one will help the
town, and all profit to some extent.
Plans should be laid to make
known to a wider circle of people
the advantages of trading in Lees
burg. Many people who have not
been accustomed to come here much
for trading, would do so if they
fully realized what good stores we
have and how much effort will be
made to please them.

The town that feels it does not
need any organization for improve
ment, is likely to need it more than
others,

MAKES NEW KIND OF GLASS
Inventor Says It Is Stronger Than

’ A new kind of glass, which, If not
‘ actually unbreakable, is sp tough that
it hds been blown into a hollow sphere
and kicked about as a football without
breakage, has been discovered by Dr.
I Horak, a Czech engineer and inventor.
When used In the form of tumblers
Ltho glass has successfully withstood
the squirting of cold water immedi
ately after being heated to a point
‘ where pieces of paper in the tumbler
were charred. While the inventor does
' not claim that he has found the secret
of unbreakable glass, he does believe
he has found a way to make it pos

ably suited to the making of thermos
bottles, which in so many cases have
been too fragile.—Sclentific American.

Work Completed.
For its preparedness to render re

to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re.
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
immediate, In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report of the Red
Cross, its disaster relief operations
were carried out in 110 localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ
ous year, required the expenditure in
the United States of $397,468.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 900,000 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended $2,605,696.09. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
25,000 tons; garments, 809,000; blan
kets, 48,660; new shoes, 5,000 pairs;
medical, hospital and sanitary sup
plies, 304 tons. In the feeding of the
refugees there was listed upwards of
82,000 children under three years of
age. -
The disasters in the United States
during the past year reported 240 per
sons killed, 991 injured, 12,691 ren
dered homeless. The total property
loss was estimated at $20,710,000.
Relief of suffering caused by disas
ters of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the communi
ties in which they oceur is fundamen
tal to the charter of the American
Led Cross. In addition to making ap
propriations from its treasury and as
pizning trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster cen
tralizes and makes more effective re
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad
ministered more than $20,000,000 for
the single purpose of disaster relief
That it may continue to accept the re
sponsibilities which grave emergen
cies place upon the American Red
Cross appeal is made for a nation
wide renewal of membership during
the annual roll call, which opens on
Armistice Day, November 11, and
closes on Thanksgiving Day, Novem:

.
Wars on Drownings
The insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv
ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross is making
constant headway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer
ous the past year that it was neces
sary to more than double the staff of
Red Cross instructors. This work of
training for water life-saving showed
an enrollment of over 80,000 volun
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all comepe
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
fans. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and a man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

In adjusting the position of the driving seat, in
lowering the steering column ‘and in bringing-the
shift lever and emergency brake within the eaSjest
possible reach of the driver’s hand, Buick has pro
vided additional comfort and satisfaction in the new
| four-cylinder models. Ease of handling is also an
outstanding feature of the new Buick “four”. In
heavy traffic the abundant power of the famous
valve-in-head engine and the quickness with which
the car responds to every control enable it to glide in
and out of traffic with the utmost facility, while Buick
four-wheel brakes assure perfect braking and safety
under all conditions. ,
