The members of the Morris-Little

Millcdgev^le and Baldwin Co. Ga.
Gentlemen:
We of the Legion especially should
surely know the grave situation im
posed on our entire country by sue-
cenrhre year? of the wont depres-
-'on in the history of any nation. I
doubt if the dark day* of 17-18-19

't'zen in the U. S. A., and the world
large in fact. We cannot

head the drive,” said Mr. Bell to-! Some few dn V ! ‘ ae0 our National
day. "I can say without equivocation, Commander of the American Legion
that Milledgeville has lined up behind' : ,ued to e * rh P ost of the Amergan
the President and Recovery Admin* j ^ion his “Battle Orders” in which
trator Johnson with an ardor and en-
thusiasm that could be bom only of
a movement of such deep patriotic
significance.
•‘While we are gojtg into this move
ment w.th whole-hearted enthusiasm,
I want it distinctly understood, how
ever, that we are going to carry
out General Johnson’s ideas- to 1
letter in these two ways: There
going to be neither ballyhoo nor at
tempted coercion- This is a great
patriotic movement, and nothing will
be done contrary to the dignity that
should accompany such an exalted
movement. Here is the situation in
nut-sheil: We arc in a situation
really comparable to war. In many
ways it has been worse than war, be
cause in the cue of war you can
see and contact your enemy, but
the case of this depression the
enemy is intangible', invisible and
invidious. There is not an individual
or family circle in Milledgeville that
has not felt the blighting effects in
one way or another of this terrible
depression.
'Now it is the idea of the Ad
ministration at Washington and of
corps of workers- here in Mil
ledgeville that every individual has a
stake it. the recovery that we art-
trying to bring about. We are all
soldiers together embattled against
the common enemy. And there is
a man, woman or child in Mil-
ledgcvillc who can not do something
to help. Remember that. All that is
needed to win this victory' if that
each person do his share. This does
not mean necessarily that any great
hardship or loss must be suffered
by anyone. On the contrary, the plan
r so sound economically and the
he whole nation is signing into the
movement sc enthupiartically that
feel sure that the army of old
General Depression will soon be com
pletely routed.
’Ap was explained by President
Roosevelt in his recent radio address
the first steps, of course, are being
taken by the employers who employ
two or more persons. They are sign
ing up rapidly and In a very few
days I shall be able to announce the
name- of all who have s'irned the
-mployer’s covenant with the Prcsi-
u nt of the United States and have
thus pign’fied their acceptance of
blnnkct code as to minimum wages
and hours of employment. Those ora-
'oyers who enter the rc-cmploy-
ment agreement with President
Roosevelt, and I look for few if any
slackers in Milledgeville, will 'nave the
right to display the N. A. R. em
blem as a badge of patriotism in
their places of business, and, if they
desire to stamp it on their mer
chandise or other products. In fact,
an President Roosevelt stated, they
are urged to do so.
‘‘Let me emphasize this fact: This
emblem will carry vith it somethmg
of the same patriotic sentiment that
we ae Americans are pleased to ac
cord to a render’s uniform or the
flag of the nation.
“Evemy citizen k>f Milledgeville,
therefore, can exert tremendous in
fluence in this movement by throw
ing as much help and support as pos
sible to those firms that, wth fine
patriotism, are entitled to display
this badge of honor. Thus the whole
-ommunity is being bound together
in one great, sweeping movement
which roon will put back to work
every unemployed working man and
working woman in Milledgevlle. And
we can all rest assured that while we
are doing this here in Milledgge-
ville every c’ty, town and community
in the nation will be doing the Mine
thugs.

our part in every conceivable

the United States and his Admin

The N. R. A'. Program ia of a very
temporary nature and will not at
most extend beyond the last day of
this year. It is a plan in the rough
as are most plans in dire emergencies
—IT IS MY BELIEF that such in
justices as its crudeness may now
impose on the smaller businesses,
will within a few weeks at most be
ironed out. It I? probably a fact
that in order to afford greatest re
lief from the depression, the N. R.
A. plan must become an accomplish
ed force as soon ap possible within
a few weeks period. It is absolutely
essential that the President of "the
United States and His Administra
tive Forces be trusted in their ef
forts to break the depression with
this N. R. A. Plan.—All must co
operate within their respective codes

makes this type of violator nothing
short of a public enemy. Even
though an individual business may
be operating under the strict pro
visions of the respective national
codes, they have a moral code of
obligations with their neighbor or
competitor which they must live up
:o the letter. Neighbor must
neighbor, competitor must trust
competitor, and each and all must
co-operate within their respective
code classifications and agreements.
This in my opinion must be done
if the S. R. A. plan 1? to succeed
locally. Suppose for instance that
there is some business concern here
which does not employ clerks, and
hich is run by members of a firm
ly rated under the code as execu
tive?. Technically of course under
the strictest interpretation of the
national code, their business violate*
no provision, and the business may
stay open hours after their competi
tor? have closed on the agreed time
<et forth in the local code of hours
as adopted by GENTLEMAN'S
lgreement, yet they do vislate their
'ncal codes %nd agreements, and this
ill certainly defeat the success of
the national relief plan, for it will
only be so effective as the localities
ill make it.
Those who violate their local
code of operations. Surely it is NOT
THE INTENT OF THE GOVERN
MENT that any technical ruling as
above stated should, give to any
individual or any business undue ad
vantage over the others. I do not
believe that any Legionaire will be
guilty of knowingly violating his re
spective code, national or local, and
neither do I believe that any Legion
airc will tolerate wilfully violations
of these codes to any degree in this
community. To me these duties are
very clear for every mdlnber of the
American Legion particularly, and
fact to every ex-service man who
lovea his country. Th's N. R. A.
Plsn will work ONLY If every citizen
will co-operate to the best of their
abilities. This is the only plan ever
;et forth to lick this depression and

WE DO OUR PART
At a meeting of the Retail Merchants of Milledgeville,
which includes hardware, dry goods and furniture deal
ers, on Monday afternoon the entire group pledged
themselves to work for the success of the N. R. A., and
to “Do Our Part” in bringing about national recovery.
The code which will govern our stores will be presented
to Genral Johnson on August 22nd. This code will set
up certain business practices and rules of fair competi
tion Which we expect to abide by.
Pending the adoption of this code we have decided to
set certain rules to govern our own stores under the;
power that is given us by the N. R. A. We therefore wish
to announce the following opening and closing hours:
WEEK DAYS
OPEN AT 8:30 A. M.—CLOSE 6:30 P. M.
SATURDAYS
OPEN AT 8:30 A. M.—CLOSE 9:30 P. M.
We will appreciate the co-operation of the buying pub
lic in our effort to co-operate together for the good
of the whole
We feel that it is right that we ask the people of this
section to buy from stores who are working together
for the public welfare. It is a time when all of us must co
operate. We have no room for the merchant who after
entering an agreement, violates it We have no room
for merchant or individual who at this time when we
are at war against the depression, does not do some
thing to contribute to the success of this movement
The merchants undersigned are buying from their fel
low merchants, employing Milledgeville people, paying
our share in taxes, and above all are co-operating and
working together for the welfare of our people and
helping our Great President to put over successfully
the National Recovery Act.
