in 1932 the depression was three
vtr-rs old. Millions of people were
without jobs and in dire need of
the necessities of life. Conditions
were bad enough in such rural com
munities as Gordon county, but
nothing to compare with what they
were n the industrial centers where
plant were constantly closing down,
adding countless thousands 10 the al
ready large army of destitute and
hopeless unemployed. Cotton was
down around 6 cents and the markets
were glutted with other farm com
modities at ruinously low prices. Men
who had lest good positions had ex

ture from their homes piece at a

“We would like to remind Mr.
Powell that neither President Roose
velt Secretary Wallace nor Congress
is dictating to the farmers. The crop-
control legislation was DEMANDED
BY THE FARMERS THEMSELVES
and no longer than last fall the
farmers of Gordon County, along
with farmers throughout the whole
cotton belt voted overwhelmingly
for the retention of the Bankhead
law. Congressman wants to do
what hie constituents want done
more than anything else in the world,
and when he doesn’t do it the
son can be found in the failure of
his constituents to let him know
what they want. When they vote
overwhelmingly in favor of a propo
sition, he is justified in believing
that they want that thing.
“Critics of the national adminis
tration lift their hands in horror be
cause the government of the Un’ted
States is spending a portion of its
national wealth to prevent suffer
ing among those so unfortunate as
not to be able to find employment
in the regular channels of trade. Yet,
following the World War, we let
European nations have far more
money than we have spent on our
own people during this administra
tion. and they used it to give jobs
to their own people, to build fine
apartment houses, gymnasiums, play
grounds, etc., and they have never
paid that money back, AND NEVER
WILL! There are any number of
our citizens who think that we
should not e ven want them to pay
those billions of dollars back to us.
They see nothing wrong about the
American tax-payers footing this bill
for the “rehabilitation" of citizens
of Europe, but when offer to spend
a less amount to prevent the starva
tion of our own destitute men. wo
men and children it becofnes an
“unconstitistianal” crime and "it’*
not in the platform!"
"While bragging on how Governor
Talmadge is “paying the state out
of debt”, Mr. Powell might ponder
the following questions: How far
would the Governor have gotten if
it had not been for the millions of
dollars the federal government has
spent on roads and schools in Geor
gia? How far would he have gotten
in the collection of taxes had it not
been for the millions of dollars paid
to relief workers and to farmers in
benefits and increased prices? This
money has circulated through all the
business channels of the state and
has tremendously boosted the tax
receipts of the state. Last week
papers reported that tax collected
in Georgia on gasoline had increased
two million dollars because onci
more, under the new deal, the norm
al use of the automobile had been
restored.”

You can drive it 50 miles an hour the day yon buy it
The Fokd V-8 is ready for normal driving
when you buy it. There is no tedions period
of lircaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You
ran drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first
day. And after the first hundred miles you
can drive it as fast as you desire.
That means greater motoring enjoyment for
every motorist. It is especially important to
motorists who are thinking about a new car
for a vacation trip—to physician*, salesmen
and all those who use a car flor business. In
stead of dragging along at slow speeds for
days, you can make good time from the start.
The reason for this is as important as the
result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in
because of unusual accuracy in the manufac
ture of moving parts and the smoothness of
bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when
yon buy the car. It is not necessary to depend
on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight
ness and insure smooth running. Longer life,
greater economy and better performance are
bound to result from such precision methods.
The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction.
along with fine-car performance, comfort,
safety and beauty.

And that’s why the tobaccos in
Chesterfield are carefully balanced
one against the other . . . not too
much of one — not too little of
another.
We take the right amounts of
the right kinds of four types of
tobacco — Bright, Burley, Maty-
land and Turkish.
It is this balancing of tobaccos
that makes Chesterfields milder
and makes them taste better.
