Community Realty
Will Sell Slock
For Development
Community Realty, Inc., of Per
ry has announced plans to offer
100,000 shares of stock to the in
vesting public at $2.00 per share.
Company officials indicate the
money obtained from this offering
will be used to develop land pre
sently owned by Community Real
ty as well as to purchase land for
future development.
Community Realty, Inc. was or
ganized in October, 1961. It pre
sently owns in excess of 300 acres
in the Perry area and has assets
of $190,000. Milton Beckham and
Dewey Whiddon of Perry, ar e both
officials and organizers of the
company.
President Dewey Whiddon says
the purpose of organizing this type
company is to give people with
limited investment capital a
chance to profit from the tremen
dous growth of this area which is
one of the four fastest growing
areas in the South.
He believes this growth is just
beginning and since large profita
ble developments require large
sums of money a stock company is
the logical way for small inves
tors to share in this growth.
“The development is going to
come,” siad Mayor Beckham. “It
is just a matter of whether it will
be done by local capital for local
interests or by outside capital for
outside interests. It is time local
people recognize that the oppor
tunity of a lifetime may be too
close for them to see.”
Plans are underway to develop
that portion of the old Smoak
estate recently purchased from
Jack Marshall. This tract lies just
north of the Perry High School,
touching the Perry Golf course
on two sides and extending to
U. S. 41. Residential lots are ex
pected to be offered for sale next
spring. This development will al
low Perry to grow on the north
side where property has only re
cently become available for ex
pansion of the city.
Sale of stock will begin within
the next ten days. Securities re
presentatives are being secured
for this purpose and announce
ments will appear in local papers
in this area.

WASHINGTON AND
"SMALL BUSINESS”
By C. WILSON HARDER
* o
a
For some time, to curtail the
ravages to American business
and employment brought about
by the flood of cheap goods
from low labor wage areas,
Sen. Keating and colleagues
have had before Congress a
measure which would set tar-
rates according to the pre
undermlnedl
duced with
cheap labor c - W. Harder
is not alone an American one.
In England, the present gov
ernment, is trying to get Eng
land Into the European Com
mon Market.
* * *
The European Common Mar
ket to which practically every
face Europe nation belongs, ex
cept England, is a plan where
by goods are moved between
nations without import duties
or tariffs.
★ * *
However, since the Macmillan
government started the drive to
bring England into the Com
mon Market, there has been,
according to public polls made
in the British Isles, a distinct
opposition to the Macmillan
government which some be
lieve will cause its fall.
* * *
A major spearhead against
the plan is the Beaverbrook
newspapers who are cmrenlly
running front page boxes on
the affect joining the European
Common Market would have on
British welfare.

Quite a typical example of

Catholic Women
Enjoy Luncheon
Members of the Perry Catholic
Mission Council were hostesses
yesterday when the Columbus
Deanery of Catholic Women held
a luncheon-meeting at the New
Perry Hotel Wednesday.
Bishop Thomas McDonough
was the speaker for the occasion.
One hundred and forty persons
from throughout Georgia attend
ed the affair.
Other guests of the Council
included Monsignors McDonald
and Toomey of Savannah; La
fois, Albany, Thomas Sheen, Ma
con, Diemell, Columbus, Father
McDyre of Dublin and Father
Myron Bateman, pastor of the lo
cal mission.
On Wednesday night, Mr. and
Mrs. Martin Austin were hosts
to the clergymen and ladies at a
reception at their home on the
Hawkinsville Highway.
PERRY PATTER
IT FINALLY HAPPENED:
“Have I told you about my grand
children?”
“No, and I appreciate it too.”
ISN’T IT TRUE . . . half of the
troubles people suffer in this
world are caused by lack of busi
ness knowledge knowledge of
what is your business and what
isn’t.
PET PEEVE; We didn’t say this
but we wish we had; “They put
the driver of an automobile in jail
for having a faulty muffler, but
trucks can jar you out of your
house with noise and they don’t
do anything about it.” Some of the
drivers seem to be going for the
Academy Award when they hit
that accelerator.”
Office Supplies
at Home Journal
this barrage is as follows: “The
hourly wage of a textile work
er in Britain is 3 shillings, 11
pence. The hourly wage of a
textile worker in Italy is 1 shil
ling 11H pence. That is why
the mills in Italy will damage
the industry and employment
of Lancashire if we go into the
Common Market.”
* * *
Translated into American
money, this means the British
textile worker gets 53 cents per
hour, the Italian worker 25 %
cents per hour.
* * *
Thus, the British opposition to
tearing down their tariff walls
that protect their business and
employment is a great lesson
that American policy leaders
who have taken steps that have
already destroyed a great part
of the American textile indus
try should take note.
It it it
The British know, despite
their efficient production meth
ods, that they cannot compete
with a nation who pays the
workers half as much as the
British pay.
it it it
Thus, it is difficult to see, the
starry eyed State Dept, dream
ers to the contrary, how U. S.
industry can compete wl.h a
wage scale that is about four
times that of the British scale.
it it it
There is perhaps another les
son to be drawn from this sit
uation in England.
* * *
The British People seeming
ly will permit their leaders to
engage in many strange ma
neuvers, but when they adopt
a course that threatens the wel
fare of the man in the street, a
mighty storm is set up. Nobody
is going to destroy Alt’s job
without having a fight on his
hands.
CARD OF THANKS
The family of Lola Cole Bos
well acknowledges with grateful
appreciation your many kind ex
pressions of sympathy. May God
richly bless each of you.
Live Together or
Die Together, Club
Told by Minister
“The day and hour in history
has arrived when one man cannot
be above and another man under
neath,” Dr. Albert P. Shirkey, pas
tor of the Mount Vernon Place
Methodist Church, Washington, D.
C., told the Perry Kiwanis Club
Tuesday.
“You just can’t build a world
like that,” Dr. Shirkey said. “We
are going to have to find the art
of living together or we’ll all die
together.”
Dr. Shirkey said a man can be
“a real man when (1) he’s his
own man; (2) when he’s his bro
ther’s man, (3) when he’s his
country’s man, (4) when he’s God’s
man.”
The capital city minister is con
ducting a revival series at the
Perry Methodist Church through
tonight. He and the visiting song
leader, Rev. Raymond Wilder of
Brunswick were introduced by
Rev. J. B. Hutchinson, local pas
tor.
He said the No. 1 problem in the
world today is hunger, when there
is a surplus of food in some coun
tries. Hungry people “are desper
ate,” he said. The great food sur
| pluses should be distributed to
those who are hungry all over the
world, he added.
“We are going to do this to
gether or we are all going to die
together,” Dr. Shirkey said. “We
have a job to do as Christians and
we won’t do the job alone—we
must have faith in God Almighty.”
