Shv—You ask me to marry you.
Can you see your answer in my face
He (absently)—ye^-er-er-it’s very
plain.
A rooster discovered an ostrich
egg and rolled it into th<* hen house
and said: “Now, ladies, I do not
want to embarrass you, but here’s
a sample of what other people are
doing.”
“Yes, wc know—we have been
looking at them, but we do not find
what we wish—’’ but they reluctant
ly followed thc clerk, thinking may
be they might haw been mistaken.
Taking a handful of cards from
the case, the affible salesman placed
them where they could he seen to
the best advantage and began to
read over some of the short wishes
and rhymes they bore—“Wishing you
much joy—” —” Hoping that happi
ness will be yours—’’ Joyous greet
ing for the season—”—and was hav
ing a wonderful time trying to inter
est these two women in something
they did not warm up to. Finally
cne of them spoke up—’’ Yes—wc
have found those kind at every place
—but they ar*> not what we want—
we wish some that haven’t uny Joy
or happiness about them—’’.
I am still rebuking myself for not
looking quick enough at the face of
that clerk—I would low to have
seen his expression—but I was too
dumbfounded myself to think quickly
enough to catch what I know must
have been a “prize” expression that
could have made* his reputation on
the silver screen. I had to look at
the poor things then—just like you '
might want to peek into a sideshow '
at some animnl or freak of nature •
that was abnormal enough for a fel- 1
low to pay ten cents to take that
peek. You can gue.-s for yourself
that they had been left far behind
at every turn. Not only did their
conservation show that—but also
their coslumns—and as they passed
out of the door—md the clerk put
up the “cards of joy”—I drew a
deep breath and snapped out of my
amazement enough to close my
mouth—I’m sure it was wide open.
In my heart I said—” my goodness—
imagine wanting something with all
the joy left off—.”
So that’s ONE reason I nm wish
ing all of you a Year just CHUCK
full of joy. Of course, we have all
come to understand that joy doesn’t
mean we have to buy firecrackers
and shoot up the town—or take a
joyride—or be left a million dollars
by some kind friend—but it radiates
around widely different thing*. Like
knowing that your loved ones are
well and happy—that your “job” still
holds interest for you—that your
friends are kind and thoughtful—and
that you yourself are able to get the
JOY out of everyday things—and
hold in your heart nothing but good
wishes for every soul on earth. And
before we leave the subject—lets
everyone of us broadcast a wish that
these two women will change their
minds and find out they can’t get
anywhere much on this old earth if
they leave all “joy and happiness”

The comfort, convenience and sufety which the railroads offer the traveler are never more
noticeable than during the winter months. No other form of transportation is so independent of
weather conditions. The passenger in a steam heated railroad car enjoys immunity from cold
winds, snow, sleet or rain outside his car window. In the steel coaches or sleeping cars of the rail
road he is free from the trials, strain and hazards accompanying other forms of travel. Then too he
can rely upon reaching his destination at the expected time, since approximately 98 per cent of
ull passenger trains are operated on time—and delays at destination or en route are seldom more
than a few minutes.
The advantages which the railroads offer the the traveler are the results of gradual development
and improvement during the past one hundred years, and constant efforts are h-ing made to make
passenger service even better. The railroad passenger need not fear sudden storms, or that he
will be the victim of exposure to thc weather. He need not be afraid of delay because of break-
• bad roads. He need have little fear of accidents, due either to his own carelessness or
—as is so often the case—to that of others. Nowhere elese will he be more comfortable or safe than
in the passenger cars of the railroads.
Traffic accidents on highways and streets are taking an alarming and steadily increasing toll
of life. Almost every week-end sees more pedestrians and motorists killed in such accidents than
meet their deaths while traveling as passengers on the railroads in an entire year. An average
of approximately ten million persons are safely hauled by the railroads for each passenger fatally
injured. The last passenger fatality on the Central of Georgia occurred on December 29, 1922
rince which time eighteen million passengers ha%*o been safely handled.
The Central of Georgia caters to the winter traveler by offering passenger service that is
safe, comfortable and reliable. One of the most striking developments of modern American life
is the increasing number of persons who arrange their affairs so as to be able to take short or
extended vacation trips during the winter months. Many of these, particularly in the colder
northern parts of our country, use the trains to visi t other sections. Through advertising, direct
solicitation and other means the Central of Georgia endeavors to bring to the attention of these
prospective tourists from other sections the recreational and climatic advantages of Georgia,
Alabama and Floridp. Reduced through rates, permitting stop-overs, have been put into effect,
while no better passenger service is offered by any railroad than on thc through tourist trains
operated by this railroad and its connections.
The Central of Georgia solicits the putronage of the winter traveler, both from the north and
its own section. It places its service at his disposal, whether his trip be a short or an extended one,
whether he be traveling on business or on pleasure.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
