to meet the demand for Oakland and Rmtiac Sixes
Scarcely twelve months
ago Oakland was only one of
many manufacturers striving
for preeminence. Today it
ranks among the largest
builders of motor cars in the
world. Responsible for thistremendous
growth have been a continuous series
of triumphs resulting in a record*
breaking 212% increase in business
over 1925.
With the advent of the past year,
came the introduction of the Pontiac
Six. So great was the demand it crcated,
that in six months Pontiac Six produc
tion had exceeded the greatest full year
record previously scored by a new make
of car. And by the end of the year, with
Pontiac production reaching 76,523
cars, that record had been surpassed by
more than 100%! In July came the
Greater Oakland Six with 77 refine
ments, featured by that epochal engi
neering development?the Rubber

surpassing any previous record in Oak
land's twenty year history.
Now, with its position securely es

vested to provide for greater production.
In the strictest sense, this huge in

Motors in Oakland principles of design,

Central of Georgia Railway Discusses Significance of its
Annual Efficiency Meeting of Employes.
While railroad service has improved stearlily fioni year to year, that performed in 1926 vas the best
and most efficient in the history of this country. In his message lo Congress last December, President
Cool id go said: "One of the large contributing causes to the present highly satisfactory state of our
economic condition is tlie prompt and dependable service, surpassoig all our previous records, rendered
by the railroads." Other government officials have paid similar tribute, Secretary Hoover describing this
improvement in railroad ser\ ice as "probably the most outstanding single industrial accomplishment
?ince the war."
This steadily improving transpoitation service is not the result of chance, nor did it "just happen"
that the 1826 service was better than ever before. Increased efficiency is in part the result of large ex
penditures through the past several years for the improvement of roadbed and tracks, for the purchase of
new locomotives, rolling stork and better tools, and for other like purposes designed to make the railroads
better able to serve their patrons. It is in part the result of co-operation between railroads and their
patrons through shippers' advisory boards, traffic clubs and the like. It. is in very large part the result of
harmonious relations between railway managauient and employes, and the recognition bj bolh that their
interests are advanced when they tfork together to render railroad p.itrons tho best service humanly
possible.
The Central of Georgia has always considered tho human element one of the most important factors
in railroad operation. It wa? one of the first, to encourage meetings where officers and employes come to
gether to discuss problems confronting them iu their work.
Tho most important of these meetings is the Annual Efficiency Meeting held early in each year, when
employes from all over the system gather at same central point to review past performances and make
plans for hotter records. The Central of Georgia's Fifteenth Annual Kflieiency Meeting will be held this
year on January 18-19, at Macon, Georgia. Several hundred of the road's eleven thousand employes will
assemble there for the two days' sessions, the annual inventory of this company's human assets.
While the "family spirit" is dominant, and officers and employes who have made outstanding records
for efficiency and loyalty are given public recognition, the Annuel Efficiency Meeting is no "mutual ad
miration" gathering. The keynote is?how can we increase our efficiency In serving our patrons. The
meeting aims to build for the future rather than to glorify the past. No matter how good the record.a
better one is made the goal.
Among the subjects to he discussed at this year's meeting arc: th<^ safety of tho traveling public,
courtesy in dealing with p.itrons?whether directly or through correspondence, the better caro of freight
and passenger business entrusted to our company, the elimination if waste, the conservation of fuel,
prevention of loss and damage to freight and baggage, the smoother handling of freight and passenger cars,
the elimination of personal injuries, co-operation bet wccnJdilTorent departments of the railroad, and other
topics conoeeted with satisfactory Service In order to give the railroad worker the outside point of view,
representatives of the public are invited to address the meeting.
As the yearly "ntock taking'' of what the men and women working for this company have done, the
Annual Efficiency Meeting is important to every employe of t tie Central of CJrorgia. It is equally important
to our patrons. They are entitled to good service, and we are trying to improve our scrvice to the public
fcy every means in our power. The increased efficiency and loyally resulting from these meetings justify
the belief that the time, study and money expended in holding them are all well spent.
Constructive criticism and suggestions src invited.

Gof Name and Victory
Tradition says that the "Laogo
bardl" were originally called "Win
nlll." Under the leadership of Ibor
and Alo, sons of a prophetess called
"Gambara," they came Into conflict
with the Vandals. The leaders of tho
Vunduls prayed to Wodan for victory,
while Gambara and her sons Invoked
Frea. Wodau promised victory to
those whom he should see at sunrise.
Frqa directed Wlnnlll to bring their
women with their hair around their
faces like beards. He then turned Wo
dan's couch around so that when he
woke at stanrlse he first saw the host
of the Wlnnlli. He nsked "Qui sunt
istl Longibarbl?" "Who are these long
beards?" Frea replied, "As thou hast
given them the nume, give them also
the victory." They conquered in" tho
ensuing battle and were thenceforth
known as "LangobardL"
Finn* Once Powerful
The Finns are descendants of a west
ern branch of the great racial family
of which the Mongolians are the mod
ern representatives In the Far East.
But there Is evidence that the Finns,
or a closely allied race, were at a pro
historic time spread over a large area
of Europe. In the course of time they
mixed with other races to such an ex
tent that some of their original char
acteristics have been modified or lost,
while some of those of other races
have become Finnish. The original
stock Is now repreeented in Europe In
a good many other places than Fin
land. The Hungarians, the Lapps, the
Samoyed8, the Esthonlans, and vari
ous people of Russia may be num
bered among these representatives.
Plant9 and Light
All plants require some light. Sun
light supplies the energy which causes
chemical reactions to take place In
side the leaves. These reactions con
vert the raw food elements Into food
elements available to the plant, says
Nature Magazine. Therefore, such
sun-loving plants as geraniums, roses,
and abutllon, when set away In a dark
corner, do not thrive so well as when
placed in a sunny" window. ' On the
other hand, plants which like a mild
amount of sunlight, and this includes
palms, aspidistra, ferns, and many of
the vines, do not thrive If put In a
sunny location.
Too Much Care
The human body Is good for only
ubout 70 years anyway. Why keep It
too much wrapped up In cotton wool?
You won't succeed In living forever.
If you are healthy use your health
even to the point of wearing It out:
thafs what It is for. As Bernard
Shaw says, "spend all you have bo
fore you die." You cannot use your
cake nnd have It, and the worst of
all is to let It mold on the shell
Don't outlive yourself. A master
word 1b work.
Rest Not Advisable
in Nervous Weakrtes?
Rest cures are going out of fashion
and physicians are prescribing work
cures Instead, says Dr. George 3.
Wright in Ilygela Magazine. Pro
longed nervous weakness Is usually
considered the result of some other
condition, such as a physical defect
that reduces the body's reserv?
strength or Impairs the process of re
pair so that ordinary physical or men*
tal activity Is no longer possible. In
fections may produce the same effect
of nervous weakness.
Emotional disturbances are particu
larly depressing and exhausting. Vari
ous physical ills, such as headaches,
stomach distress, a neck pain or a
choking feeling are often due to emo
tional or nervous strain, but not to
overwork. Work and worry may be
very exhausting, but work by Itself 1?
not harmful.
People vary la their Inherent mental
and nervous strength as they do In
physical strength. Persons leading a
quiet, tranquil life may never discover
that they are weak mentally or ner
vously. However, sudden crises, such
as a war, force them to exert them
selves beyond their strength and a
breakdown follows.
