A PRODUCTS Sf : .Lt, M PROCLAIMED V. 12-18 r D n r that "one of the economic problems people now confront the ;• Georgia is to guord outside against of ind.ng xiore money for articles that ; e state to pay : peoj ie consume, than is ,resented by the total deriv- i by Georgians for the native products which we sell else- •where ' Gov. Ellis Amall has rode.med the week of Nov. 12-18. inclusive, as "Georgia rroducts Dinners Week." The governor's proclamation fc :h that "our people have -.cbiracliy followed the costly raciice of importing millions of dollars worth of poultry, eggs, rdk butter and other commo¬ dities for human food, as well as the bulk of our grain and ivesiock feed-stuffs through ts .purchased beyond our borders." But "most of these provis¬ os", he continued, "are more easily and cheaply grown up¬ on our ov/n soil by our ov/n ‘arrners, and processed in our own neighborhoods, and by a nore plentiful use thereof we could materially help enhance he income and increase the wealth of our whole people." For these reasons, Amall set aside the "Georgia Products Dinners Week," during which oeriod civic, patriotic and lun- hcon clubs in the state 'shall oe urged to observe the occas¬ ion by serving one or more meals composed exclusively of he products of Georgia's farms and our local processing plants, as well as by inviting special speakers to address their for¬ mal repasts and other functions who shall emphasize the sub¬ let of Georgia products in ord¬ er that the minds of our people may be turned to a more wide- oiead realization of the im¬ portance of raising, patroniz- ng and encouraging the use of a wider varieyt of the food pro¬ ducts which are the fruit of our own soil." The movement for obser¬ vance of the special week was launched several months ago by the State Division of Conser¬ vation, of which Gov. Amall is ommissioner.

'Mil Ry Frances Ainsworth f tf-27-44 ..■.Go| GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.—I have ’ust seen a wonderful new furai- ure idea. This new idea is furni¬ ture made up of “units” so that veu can have your furniture exact¬ ly to fit your personal needs. It i ■ n’t sectional furniture. It’s a new “iloxi-unit” idea. For instance, suppose you want a secretary cabinet for your living loom. Do you want drawers (nar¬ row vith or doors) deep) or cupboards (open or for the bottom part? Do you want a desk unit—or would you prefer a built-in radio-phono¬ graph with place for records—or more drawers or glass front cup¬ board ? 1 have seen how with these “fiexi-units” furniture, all one solid piece, beautifully finished, can be made up exactly as you want it— for your needs — personally, indi-' vidually for you, just you. • This revolutionary, modern idea has been worked out for dining room And, and.bedrooms, too. if you have just a small home, or live in an apartment, you can start with just a few “units,” adding more later, as you move in- .o a larger place or as your fam¬ ily grows. v Q: Why is the United States Brewers Foundation necessary? A: In any business there are certain dealers who may not always operate in keeping with the standards of the industry or with the dictates of public opin¬ ion. The Foundation undertakes the responsibility of maintaining proper conditions where malt bev¬ erages are sold. Q: How does the Foundation operate? A: Trained field men regularly visit places where beer and ale are sold. In those few places where undesira¬ ble conditions are found, dealers are asked to cor¬ rect them. Most dealers cooperate, but should they not, a report is made to authorities who have the power to revoke their licenses. Q: Can the general public help in your work? A: Yes, by patronizing reputable places, and by report¬ ing to the Foundation any that need correction. ' ------ c o.o....
