CAMPUS THEATRE Mon-Tues. Apr. 22-23 Pontiac first won by Pontiac's beauty soon 4W- covered that the 1935 Pontiac is one of the most economical cars on the road today! Not merely remarkably free from the need for repairs, bat so saving on gas and oil that it amasea even those used to driving smaller, lighter cars. Since the 1935 Pontiac is a big, full-weight car such economy may sound incredible. But the report comes straight from owners. We do not quote sensational figures because such figures are usually obtained under special conditions. But if you want PROOF of Pontiac’s economy, we are ready to supply it. Come in—and get the facts! SIZES AND EIGHTS RALPH SIMMERSON Milledgeville, Ga. gage in them? Self-interest may not be the most admirable motive by which to gov- course of action, however a course dictated by an intelligent self-interest has some, advantages a spineless surrender to a sub versive element which—for a money profit—is willing to destroy the peace and dignity of our community. And community, which benefits to such a great extent from the large student body in our schools, does appreciate its responsibility to the parents of the students, and show it by keeping a wholesome moral at mosphere in our town and county, and if our community, which bene fits to such a great extent from the large student body in our schools, does not apprecriate its responsibility to the parents of the students, and show it by keeping a wholesome mo ral atmosphere in our town and .county, we do not deserve to have the students sent here The issue is now immediately be fore us and it is no time to sit on the fence.

The issue will, to a great extent, be decided by the votes of a gen eration that has never known the evils that existed under the system of licensing the sale of whisky— evils so cancerous in their effect oh social order that even the pro ponents of the repeal of the 18th Amendment qualified their support by saying that the saloon must never be allowed to return. We know that the saloon has re turned in states that have repealed their prohibition laws. In fact eminent a person as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said—in advocating repeal of the 18th Amendment— that the saloon had never gone away that it had merely gone “under ground”; which is exactly where it belongs, if it belongs on earth at visible unless the voters of Georgia express themselves as un qualifiedly opposed to licensing the sale of alchoholic beverages. nightly terror.

May emment made its first attempt to 2g , 87g and f i Rishcd his COU rse regulate the traffic in alcohol, and Millodccvillc , Georgia. March immediately fol owing the repeal of the 18th Amendment there sprang up a new group of law violators—those who dared not risk a legal clash with Federal enforcement officers but when the Federal risk was re moved felt confident enough of their political influence with city and county officials to openly vfolate the state laws: a decidedly left- handed compliment to such officials. We do not have to go outside of Milledgovrlle and Baldwin County to find plenty of evidence of the fear ful. blighting effect of alcohol on the lives of men and their families. Tragedy after tragedy, on the streets, in saloons and blind-tigers, and In the homes, has marked the trial of alcohol in Milicdgevllle. If any voter is ignorant of such tragedies it is possible to get first hand informa tion of them from your neighbors and friends. Tt may be that we will always have some men who are selfish enough to be willing to ruin the lives and happiness of others for a little money profit on the sale of alcohol. Possibly we may never be able to completely stop the traffic in alcoholic beverages. In no othtr field of endeavor have we ever at tained nerfeetion. but we have not accepted that as an excuse for not trying to hold the ground we have gained. We have not been able to completely stop an illegal traffic in .narcotics, or "white-«lavfcry". bi^t what decent citizen would suggest a specious coat of respectability for such nefarious businesses in the form of a government license to en- Tax Notice The State authorities are urging the collection of all past due taxes, and unless this office is granted an extension of time, I must make final settlement with the State for 1933 and 1934 taxes on April 20.

He *vas retired on ;> farm and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Collins. Mr. Collinc and Miss Cleo Hawkins were united in holy lock on December 11, 1901. The faith ful wife to whom he was deeply devoted comes forward to say that "Nothing too good can be said of him as a faithful husband." So it was In the sacred circle of the home where he was known best, that he was loved most; and thus he filled well the high station as the head of a Christian home. Mr Collins is survived by his wife, two brothers T. C. and W. H. Col lins, three sisters. Mrs. C G. Hawk ins and Miss Mattie Collins of Mil ledgeville. and Mrs. W. F. Chap man rif Jackson. Georgia. A manly simplicity and sincerity were his most prominent virtues. As a friend these elements shone in him with peculiar charm, and it might truly be said of him that the law of kindness was written in his heart.
