CONTRIBUTIONS TO FREEDOM
Choose any alert hoy or pirl
who stood for anything in the
class of 1940. Find out by a few
friendly questions what he or she
wants.
Romance! That will be the
answer. Romance of choosing a
career. Romance of courtship
and marriage, romance of climb
ing the ladder of life with more
income from year to year, more
power, more freedom to enjoy
all the things that loom large in
the heart of youth.
Your alert young friend may
find his first job right at hand in
business or farming. Or he may
elect more years of training for
medicine, engineering, law, or
the other professions. But the
boy or girl you question knows
that in our country in normal
times, complete freedom of
choice will be given. In Amer
ica the choice of a career is en
tirely free.
And the boy or girl knows
that this freedom is the result of
the American system of free
enterprise, says Nation's Busi
ness. Every career, from the
presidency of our nation to simi
lar leadership in any profession,
corporation or other institution,
is open to the talents of him or
her who can climb. This free
dom was won for us by hosts of
Americans who chose their own
careers, installed as much ma
chinery and other aids as they
needed, did what selling was
necessary to keep their farms
and factories busy, and used
whatever aids in selling were le
gitimate and in the public inter
est.
One of these aids is advertis
ing. Advertising spreads the
news and speeds up the sales of
only those products and services
which deserve to be speeded.
Any intelligent young American,
no matter what distorted or ig
norant teaching he has received
in school, is far smarter than
those teachers and text book
writers who claim that the inten
sive advertising of good commod
ities and services has been a det
riment.
There will be an additional in
crease in C. C. C. enrollment ol
ROD on July 22-28, according to I
an announcement by Biaswen)
Deen, director of the State De
partment of Public Welfare. This
increase will supplement th
hundreds of new enrollers win
were accepted during the first ol :
the month.

It uni an Element In Accidents
When two cars arc approaching
each other at 40, 45, or 50 miles an
hour they will be just about one I
second apart at the moment when
each driver first becomes conscious
of the other driver’s speed. This
fact explains some of the seemingly
inexplicable collision accidents on
the highways.
Synthetic Motor Fuel
A new fuel, carbogas, produced
from brushwood and having all the
requisites for use with gas produc
ers installed on vehicles, has beer,
developed in Italy by a leading ’
chemist. Chemical analysis shows 1
the same results as those obtained
from coke, producing 8,100 calories
per KG., when supplied in cylinders.
Another Italian chemist has devel
oped a process for obtaining fuel
from agaves, wild figs, prickly
pears and eucalyptus. This synthet
ic petrol has been successfully used
in experiments with motorcycles.

FALSE ALARM
It was the lot of a pretty girl la
be taken in to dinner by a famous j
bachelor judge, who was for ever
worrying about his health.
She managed to keep him enter
tained until the dessert arrived,
when suddenly he laid down his j
knife and fork and muttered, anx- |
iously: “Madam, I fear I must ask
you to excuse me. What I have
been fearing has happened. I have |
suddenly developed a severe attack
of paralysis of the lower limbs.”
“Oh, please don’t distress your- ;
: self!” exclaimed the girl. “It was j
my leg you were pinching, not your
own!"

This little fragment, torn at random from one of our investi
gators daily reports, may be just a scrap of paper—but to the
brewing industry it’s mighty important, as it should be to the
citizens of Georgia.
It simply means that the program of the Brewers and Beer
Committee of Georgia is accomplishing its objec
tive cleaning up or closing up” those few retail beer outlets
that operate in a manner inimical to public welfare and the
future of an important Georgia industry.
Sixty-five retail outlets, out of 157 warned by our Commit
tee, have eliminated the illegal and unwholesome conditions
that made them community nuisances. We’re for these and other
law-abiding retailers one hundred per cent.
Thirty-three retailers did not see fit to regard our “clean
up or close up program seriously. Their licenses have been
revoked.

•Millionth 1940 Chevrolet to be Contest Award*
Some conception of the demand for the 1940 Chevrolet may be gained from
the fact that the one-miilionth model of this year’s production left the
assembly line at Flint. Mich., on July 12. In celebration of the public appre
ciation reflected by this tremendous production record, M. E. Coyle, general
manager of Chevrolet, shown (left) above with W. E. Holler, general sales
manager, announced that the one-millionth 1940 car, together with a trip to
the New York World’s Fair, would be awarded in a contest which is open now
and will close Aug. 31. Details are obtainable at any of the company’s dealers.
