Great Damage to Water Pipes
The 6J4 inches of snow that fell early
last Saturday morning was well and hap¬
pily received by the young pimple who
were enjoying it by sledding, snowball¬
ing and just walking in the beautiful
white etuff
There was a different picture with the
grownups as it put a damper on businese

all of the schools of the county to close
Monday aud Tuesday,
Monday morning the thermometer
pIuDged to 2 below zero, and it wasn t
much better Tuesday morning with 4
above, but the wind was bone-cracking
1 ha greatest damage waste water pipes,
and oDly the modern homes avoided all
the wet floors, etc. and inconviences of

This was the deepest snow Cleveland
bag had since the Saturday alter Christ¬
mas to either 1939 or ;I940, when we had
15 inches. Monday was the coldest since
Nov 25,1950, when it was 5 below zero.

been suspended for making the trip.

«2 inches of snowfall. All the big citiee

This snow is definately await¬
ing foi more. The oldtimers told
that if snow lay on the ground for
three days without melting, then
you could expect more to fail on
it. Wonder if we can expect a
repition of 1917 when snow lay
on the ground for 6 weeks?

POWER OF THE PRESS
A leading association of retailers
recently held a convention. And one
of the highlights developed, according
to an Editor & Publisher account, is
that “Newspapers remain tops among
retailers as the prime implement for
moving goods.”
IN A FEW WORDS
It was Bernard Baruch, who said,
“It seems to me wrong for compelled people to
retire, and worse to be to
retire. An older person can often do
more in less time than his more physi¬
cally spry junior. He has learned to
pace himself. He knows the short cuts
and the pitfalls. He has acquired
judgment and stability. For all this
there is no substitute. Not even
youth.”

man must be like Gregory Peck, Clark

SCIENCE AND MATH
The State Board of Education
acted February 10 to require physics

who cannot pass the work and schools
which can’t afford to offer the courses.
A resolution was adopted unanimously
requiring all graduates algebra, to complete
two courses in one in physics
and one in chemistry. However, prin¬
cipals and guidance officers at the
schools can waive the requirements
in conjunction with parents whenever
a child is considered not adapted to
the courses. Another provision states
that schools do not have to offer the
courses until financially able.

PRESENT EVIDENCE WHEN
FILING FOR SOCIAL
SECURITY BENEFITS
ning Self-employed people who are plan¬
to file a claim for social security
benefits should bring copies of their
1957 tax return, including their Sched¬
ule C or Schedule F, plus a money
order stub, Internal Revenue receipt,
or other evidence that the return was
filed, according to Robert B. Overton,
Jr., District Manager of the Gaines¬
ville office of the Social Security Ad¬
ministration. The original of this re
turn should be filed with the District
Director of Internal Revenue.
Overton pointed out that it is ex¬
pected that many self-employed per¬
sons who have reached retirement
age (62 for women and 65 for men)
will retire or limit their activities this
year and apply for their social se¬
curity benefits. He also emphasized
that the self-employed applicant’s
claim will be processed much sooner
if he presents a copy of his income
tax return, along with evidence that it
has been filed with the Director of
Internal Revenue.
BUSINESS MUST HAVE
ADVERTISING MOMENTUM
Retailers are “whistling in the
dark” when they feel their business is
so well known it doesn’t need adver¬
tising. An. examination of a telephone
directory of 10-20-30 years ago will
reveal names of long-forgotten firms
their proprietors then felt didn't need
advertising. static No community has a
population. Customers die and
potential customers are born. People
move away and new residents move
in who are looking for the merchant
who shows that he wants their busi¬
ness by his aggressiveness to attract
their patronage through advertising.
The average retailer loses 15 per
cent of his customers each year and
6 per cent of this 15 per cent stop
trading with a firm because of real
or fancied belief the store or its
owner is indifferent to their patron¬
age. proof Advertising in print is genuine
to both the regular and non¬
regular customer that that merchant
cares and is not indifferent. Adver¬
tising should pull not jerk. Consis¬
tent advertising does more than pro¬
mote immediate sales. It builds cus¬
tomer confidence in what is adver¬
tised and who advertises it; it keeps
reminding even those who aren’t
has ready it; to it buy builds today desire that for this the store
ucts advertised. prod¬
Consistent advertising is like the
consistent salesman, it produces re¬
sults. The National Sales Executives
Club says salesmen don’t begin to get
orders until the fifth call on a client.
THE ATOMIC KISS
A full moon and the use of certain
types of perfume increase the po¬
tency of a kiss by 300 per cent. So
claims a professor of psychology who
has been studying the scientific as¬
pects of kissing. There’s something
for that Milwaukee checker-up to
check, if his wife will let him. Inas¬
much as the subject of osculation is
being touched upon it might be ap¬
propriate to once again mention the
advice Lady Chesterfield gave to her
daughter; “My child, if you finally
decide to let a man kiss you, put your
whole heart and soul into it. No man
likes to kiss a rock.”—E. V. Durling
in Baltimore American.
LEARNING “
Learn to live; a good life is better
than medicine.
Learn to tend strictly to your own
business.
Learn the art of doing kind and
encouraging Learn things.
yourself; to keep your troubles to
the world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile; they carry too many frowns
on their hearts to be burdened with
yours.
Learn to tell a story; a well-told
story is as welcome as sunshine in
a sick-room.
Learn to be tolerant; understand¬
ing your friends’ faults sincerely will
do much to lessen yours.

RICH OFFERS ADVICE
ON FIRST JOBS
Richard H. Rich, one of the South’s
most successful businessmen, Thurs¬
day gave some 1,000 Georgia State
College students four “simple rulea
(they) might find of value” in ap¬
proaching their first jobs.
Addressing his remarks “particu¬
larly” to students who have not yet
selected their vocations but must
earn their own living, the president
of Rich’s, Inc., and of the National
Retail Drygoods Assn., listed the
rules as follows:
1. Make up your mind to make a
game out of work. Pick a vocation
which you like and for which you
have some natural aptitude. No one
should permit himself “merely to
take a job.”
2. Discipline yourself to good work
habits. “I hold that few people, col¬
lege graduates or not, can do much
more the first year of work than to
learn how to work.”
3. Study your job. “You’ll never
regret time spent reading up on the
skills required in the next job to
which you aspire.”
4. Study yourself. Know your
weaknesses and limitations.

fore it is sent to Georgia next month,

Division officials explained to that
Negro soldiers that they would not

arrest they by Georgia officials as soon as

About half the applications for
transfer have been approved and th®
others are expected to be completed
by the time the division finishes its
move to the United States in May.
