[| ENTERTAINMENT OF
SOLDIERS MARCH 14
No activity of Civilian Defense
is more important than the enter
tainment of soldiers. A great
deal of defense work is prepar
ing for disaster and emergency
periods, which is of vital impor
> tance and not to be neglected.
It is an urgent duty and one we
do gladly but it is not such a
. pleasant task.
However, entertainment of
■ soldiers is a pleasing assignment
! and one that most people can do.
To give a soldier something of
home life again and a part in
community social affairs help to
maintain and boost his morale as
well as buoying those who pro
-1 vide him entertainment. It helps
us to feel that we are doing
something definite and worth
while in this war effort.
The local committee on soldier
entertainment, headed by W. E
Beckham, has done a splendid
work. Mr. Beckham and his sister,
Mrs. A. C. Pritchett, have enter
tained groups of soldiers many
times in their homes. They are
going to Macon once a week
with other committee members,
Mrs. R. E. Adams, Mrs. W. F.
Norwood, Mrs. J. L. Galiemore,
and Mrs. H. E. Evans Jr. “learn
ing bow to be the best host and
hostess to soldiers.”
This committee has planned to
invite a group of soldiers from
Camp Wheeler, Ga. to be guests
of Berry people on the weekend
of March 14-15. Plans call for a
j dinner-dance at the Legion Home
ion Saturday night with enter
tainment in homes that night
land Sunday. The committee
j needs help, financially and other
wise, to carry through these
1 plans successfully. This is an
| appeal to Perry citizens to do
| their very best on this occasion
iand to cooperate with the com
mittee in every way.
Notify a member of the com
mittee if you can have soldiers
in your home or if you want to
contrioute money or services to
this cause.

DEFENSE WINDOW
An attractive window on Na
tional Defense was arranged last
week by Mrs. A. P. Whipple and
Mrs. W. E. Marshall Jr. at the
store of Edwards-Harper Co.
Included in the display of de
fense weapons was a collection
of Filipino knives brought last
summer to the States by Mrs.
Parks Houser from the Philip
pine Islands. Groupings of toy
soldiers and toy implements of
war added to the scene. The U.
S. flag was the background for
American Legion trophies and
emblem.

good/year
PLUS gk A Jm RUBBER
MILEAGE jLJfg\g ■ % CONSERVATION
ASSURANCE g W IJM PLAN
The best way to conserve rubber is to make your
tires last longer. Here’s how you can get longer
mileage, non-skid safety and blowout protection:
IDo not drive over £O. Tires wear out 62% faster at 73 miles an hour than at 50. Safe driv
ing speeds also save gasoline, oil, money and lives.
2 Check Tire pressure every week. Too little pres:ure breaks down sidewalls. Too much
pressure wears out center of tread.
3 Make sure your brakes are properly adjusted and your wheels balanced and in line.A
wheel one-inch out of line drags a tire 87 feet sideways every mile.
4 Rotate your tires. Reverse the direction of tires every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. We will be
glad to do this and check your tires for cuts and bruises at the same time. This is good
economy and may prevent a serious accident.

Balancer. Have your wheels test

make your Car drive better.

Flue Jays as Valets
Blue jays sometimes act as “va!-',.!,
ets” to deer. As the animals drink
and browse, the jays go to work
removing the ticks that infest the
deer. Strangely, each bird adopts
, one particular deer for regular
“brush-offs.”
Drinking Coffee Forbidden
Drinking coffee was forbidden in
Sixteenth - century Constantinople.

l Feeding Goldfish
Feeding goldfish is quite simple.
They will cat everything within rea
son. The dry fish foods sold com
mercially are quite sufficient. They
appreciate a few garden worms,
however, or a few flies or other in
sects. In very large poo's, a •tiff
mash of oatmeal boiled w'th shred
fed liver and put into the pool in
lumps once in a while is sufficient
to keep the fish in good

President Avila Camacho has just
announced, according to the Four
States Highway association, that the
Mexican government has allocated
100,000,000 pesos (about $20,000;000)>
for additional work on the Interna
tional Pacific highway, extending'
along the west coast of Mexico route
to Guadalajara and Mexico Citv. A.
splendid new road was opened last
year, between Guadalajara and Mex

New Type Airship
Resembling a flying torpedo, a
unique “Ray Ship’’ which has at
tracted governmental interest was
recently unveiled by its inventor,
Ralph A. Yelli, a civil engineer of
Los Angeles. It is a lighter-than
air craft and is propelled on a prin
ciple that combines the features of ai
rocket ship and the vacuum power of
Mother Nature’s tornado. When
completed it will weigh three-quar-
I ters less than existing dirigibles,
carry four times the load and travef
200 miles per hour with the ma
neuverability of a plane.
