BUTTS Central of Georgia Discusses Comfort, Convenience and Safety Offered by the Railroads to the Winter Tra\eler every week-end pedestrians and motorists killed in such accidnets than meet their deaths ,'hiie passengers on the railroads n entire year.’’ Statistics show that in 1927 only 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” motor accidents and fatalities, and 1927 with the largest total in history up to 1928 witnessed the killing of an average of 62 persons daily from this cause. The daily average of 62 fatalities is almost as high as the total of 82 railroad fatalities for the entire year.

HITCHER HARDWARE COMPANY Wholesale and Retail 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. J. J.
