EDITOR GETS RICH
There is a story about a country newspaper editor who
got rich.
This man started life as a printer and learned all the
details of printing a paper. He saved part of his earnings
every week and put it in the bank. Finally, after many years,
he had accumulated enough money to buy a linotype machine,
a flatbed press and a typewriter. He also bought a dclapidated
old building and started publishing a weekly newspaper.
He worked 18 hours a day, gathering and writing the
news, selling advertisements and subscriptions, collecting his
accounts. He also set the type for the paper and fed the press
when the pages were made up.
His wife kept the front office of the shop and wrote the
society news.
Today he is a rich man.
Someone discovered oil on the lot on which his newspaper
plant was located!
TOURISTS ARE NICE FOLKS, BUT
HAVE NO RIGHT TO BREAK OUR LAWS
We like tourists. Perry depends heavily upon the tourist
trade and most of the traveling people are fine folks.
But every now and then a tourist feels inclined to write
a “letter to the editor” about alleged speed traps, claiming
that they have been “clipped” by Georgia law enforcement
officers.
Now (hey may be some “speed traps” in Georgia—we
don’t guarantee that there are none. But we believe that most
law enforcement officers in the state treat everybody alike,
whether they are Georgians or visitors.
The Atlanta Journal carried a letter recently which called
attention to a clipping from a Chicago paper station that a
Chicago man had been “clipped” twice in Georgia. He recom
mended that tourists avoid Georgia and go down through
Alabama, or (and this is the part we believe is absurb) remove
their front license plates so their cars will “look like Southern
vehicles.”
It is hard for us to believe that officers watch the roads
for cars which have tags from Northern states and “clip” them.
We believe that such a case would be very, very rare.
We have noticed some of the antics of the Northern
drivers. We have seen them turn around in the middle of Car
roll Street at a busy period. The local police let them get by
with it because (hey do not want any unpleasantness. The cops
would give a local driver a ticket for the same violation.
We are afraid that some tourists get the idea that because
they spend so much money with us down here they can do as
they please. But we believe that they ought to live up to our
laws which are made to protect our people on our streets and
highways.
RED CROSS ACTIVE IN MANY FIELDS
It’s life-giving blood for a dying GI in Korea.
It’s gamma globulin serum to prevent paralysis in a child
with polio.
It’s food, clothes, shelter for a family stripped of all pos
sessions by flood or fire.
It’s support for the wife and babies of a serviceman over
seas, waiting for his delayed allotment checks.
It’s a sailor’s homecoming for a last visit with his incur
ably ill mother.
It’s youngsters learning to swim and grownups teaching
life saving.
It’s school children learning to be good neighbors with
friends in need at home and abroad.
That’s a part of what your Red Cross gift is, leaders of
the Macon Chapter’s Fund Drive point out this week. The
drive for $62,757 will support the Macon chapter’s of service
and contribute to Red Cross mercy programs over the world,
according to Campaign Chairman Thad Murphey of Macon.
“In Perry and all over the country. Red Cross chapters
collect blood for armed services, for civilian emergencies and
for gamma globulin serum to fight polio,” Murphey said. “Red
Cross gives quick and longtime help to victims of flood, fire
and other natural disasters. It’s Home Service department
stands by with grants, loans and counseling for Gl’s, veterans
and their families, and verifies home conditions which justify
leaves, transfers or discharges from the armed services for
men needed in family crises.
“The Red Cross water safety program teaches thousands
of children and adults swimming and life saving every year in
Bibb and Houston counties. It operates the Junior Red Cross,
whose 22,000 members here serve hospitalized veterans, help
in civic work and send gifts to children in need all over the
world.
“Your Red Cross gift makes you a good neighbor at home,
a merciful friend to others across the sea,” Murphey said. “We'
ask you to share in Red Cross service in the coming year.”
THE ART OF GETTING ALONG
I
Sooner or later, a man, if he is wise, discovers that busi
ness life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat,
give and take.
He learns that it doesn’t pay to be a sensitive soul; that
sble in advance. Entered as
Second Class Matter at Post Of
fice at Perry, Ga., under Act of
March 3. 1879.
; he should let some things go over his head like water off a
duck’s back.
He learns that he who loses his temper usually loses. He
1 learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and
then and that he shouldn’t take the other fellow’s grouch too
seriously.
He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the
easiest way to get into a fight. He learns that the quickest
way to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about
I others.
He learns that it doesn’t matter so much who gets the
credit so long as the job is done and that buck-passing always
turns out to be a boomerang and that it never pays.
He comes to realize that business could run along per
fectly well without him, and that it doesn’t do any harm to
smile and say “Good Morning” even if it is raining.
He learns that most of the other fellows are as ambitious
as he is, and that they have brains that are as good or better,
and that hard work and not cleverness is the secret to success.
He learns to sympathize with the youngsters coming into
the profession, because he remembers how bewildered and
confused he was when he first started out.
He learns, too, not to worry when a project fails to turn
out, because experience has shown that if he will always give
his best, his average will break pretty well.
He learns that bosses are not monsters, trying to get the
last ounce of work out of him for the least amount of pay, but
that they usually are fine men who have succeeded through
hard work and who want to do the right thing.
He learns that the gang is not harder to get along with in
one place than in another, and that “Getting Along” depends
98% on his own behavior. Telephone News.
Kindergarten News
Tuesday was doll day at Jack
and Jill Kindergarten. Each little
girl introduced her doll to the
children and told something about
them. We had dolls from other
countries also walking and talking
dolls which made it a festive
occasion.
New pupils to enter kindergar
ten for the spring term are Sharon
Hill and Gordon Mills.
Following the circus movie a
mural has been made including the
big tent, clowns .animals and actors
on parade. Circus records were
played as this project developed.
Our dance instructor is teaching
“The Train Dance” and “Parade
of the Wooden Soldiers.” Rhythm
songs and exercises are also used
in our dance lessons each Friday.
We are making March posters
with kites and balloons to illustrate
the poem we are learning entitled
“March Winds” and to welcome the
new month.
The boys and girls have enjoyed
learning the Story of the Seed and
illustrated it with their creative
drawings in its different stages
of growth.
The seed we planted are growing
rapidly in spite of being watched
by eager eyes.
Each child has been given a book
“Frank Visits the Dentist”. These
booklets encourage the children
to care for their teeth and to
think of the dentist as their friend.
The children are using the be
ginners’ pencils to write their
names in manuscript to indentlfy
their work and to prepare them
selves for school.

YOU’LL BE
PLEASED
with the results you get with
CHIROPRACTIC
That’s why our patients are our
best boosters. They are in a po
sition to know better than some
one who has neither tried nor
studied it, because they have
investigated and experienced its
merits.
Chiropractic is a science in
itself, vastly different from
all other methods. That it
gets results is evidenced by
the fact that it is the most
rapidly growing health
method in the world today.
Although not a “cure all,”
many so-called incurable di
seases have been successfully
corrected by Chiropractors.
