On The Subject
.Of Snow
A slight rise in winter tempera¬
ture can turn a snowstorm into a
rainstorm. When rain falls, you
can tell how much snow it would
equal by multiplying each inch of
rain Ipch by 11 3-4. That’s because one
of rain is said to equal 11 3-4
inches of snpw. snowfall
The record for heaviest
for one season is held by Califor¬
nia, where 60 inches fell in one
at Great Forest and Tama
had a winter total of 884 inches.

Oeer Denies Report
He Wouldn't Run
Atlanta (UPI) — Lt. Gov.-nominee
Peter Zack Geer has denied a pub
liced report that he promised Gov.
Ernest Vandiver not to run for gov¬
ernor in 1966 if Vandiver decides
to run.
The Macon Telegraph, continuing
a series of articles on Vandiver's
years in office reported Saturday
that Vandiver had confirmed a deal
in which Geer pledged not to enter
the gubernatorial race in four years
should Vandiver decide to do so.
Geer told United Press Interna¬
tional that the question of their
respective roles in the 1966 race
“has never been discussed between
Gov. Vandiver and me.”
Geer added that he and the gov¬
ernor “are warm personal friends
and warm political friends.”
“I am sure that such a race as
that will never come off, but it
has never been discussed,” Geer
said.
U. GA. Study Shows
Attitudes Hurt
Merchants
Athens, Ga. — A University of
Georgia research team has come up
with some interesting answers to
the question of what’s wrong with
business in small Georgia towns
and cities.
Much of the trouble stems from
the attitudes of the merchants
themselves. The University research
team reached this conclusion after
an intensive study of the Thomas
ville retail trade area.
The study was planned and con¬
ducted by the University's Insti¬
tute of Community and Area Devel¬
opment and its Bureau of Business
Research under the direction of Dr.
Carl T. Eakin, associate professor
of marketing.
The study showed that in Thomas
ville retail sales have not grown
as fast as those of some of the
competing trade centers.
Among the reasons given for this
are the decline in plantation trade,
Jack of industrial development, lack
pi retailer aggressiveness, slow pop¬
ulation growth, slow income growth
poor relations with farmers, poor at¬
titudes, and defeatism.
The reasons are unimportant in
themselves, the study points out.
They are impprtant only when
something can be done about them.
Among those conditions for which
there is a remedy are poor rela¬
tions with farmers, lack of retailer
aggressiveness, and poor attitudes.
The idea of many farm and coun¬
ty people in the Thomasville area
that the Thomasville merchants do
not want them in their stores was
found to be without any basis in
fact by the University researchers,
but one which is nonetheless real.
f* Few people who have this atti¬
tude could cite a single incident
where they personally had been
treated in such a manner in a
Thomasville store,” Dr. Eakin writes
“It is an attitude which can be
changed."
He suggests retail aggressiveness
as a possible solution to this prob¬
lem as well as to the problem of
defeatism.
«« Aggressive retailing can have a
great effect on attitudes. A dynamic
retailing community can create an
atmosphere in an entire community
of a moving, aggressive, dynamic
business climate which in turn cre¬
ates the same attitude on the part
of citizens."
The study said retailing could be
improved in the Thomasville trade
area through a better selection of
merchandise, a more selective credit
program, better use of advertising
and promotion facilities, and use(' of
more effective salespeople.
Retailing is much like courting,"
Dr. Eakin points out. The man
who has the most to offer, and gets
his message across, and asks most
often for the maiden’s hand, is the
man who comes away with the
bride.’’
Farmer's Almanac
Sees Tough Winter
DUBLIN, N. M. (UPI)—The old
Farmer’s Almanac Tuesday predic¬
ted a long, cold winter with twice
as much snow as last winter.
The forecast, written by “Abe
Weatherwise,” is contained in the
1963 edition of the almanac, now in
its 171st continuous year of publi¬
cation.
The winter will be colder than
those of recent years, the almanac
said, with average temperatures of
32.06 degrees. This figure is 1.39
degrees colder than the average.
Snowfall from November through
April will total 65.25 inches, some
30.85 inches more than last winter,
the almanac predicted. ____

Army Announces New
Enlistment Plan
The Army yesterday announced a
new enlistment plan for college
graduates and college men who will
graduate within four months, the
“Officer Candidate School Enlist¬
ment Option.”
Under the plan, designed to fa¬
cilitate officer procurement, the
candidate can enlist in the Regular
Army for a period of two years only,
with the guarantee that his choice
of an Officer Candidate School
Course will be open to him.
After completion of basic combat
training and the OCS course, the
applicant will begin service as an
officer in the “modem United
States Army.
College men interested in the pro¬
gram can obtain details from the
local Army recruiter, M-Sgt. John
L. Harris, Room 14, P. O. Bldg.,
Gainesville, Ga.
"College men who have not yet
fulfilled their military obligation
would do well to look into this
plan,” he said. "It has many new
features, such as the guarantee of
the OCS course before enlistment,
and provides an excellent opportu¬
nity for a man to become an officer
in the most modern Army in the
world.”

A LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Jim Davidson, Esquire, Civic
and Economic Leader, Able Publish¬
er, Great Mountaineer, and Loyal
Georgia.
Dear friend Jim:
It was really a pleasure to be
with you Tuesday, even if the time
was short. When I am with you my
mind reverts to times years ago,
some good old days.
Every community must have a
leader or leaders if it is to make
real progress. It is not the size
of the community that is so im¬
portant. It’s the person—character,
intelligence, qualities of leadership,
true patriotism, unselfishness, the
desire to do something for others.
You possess all these traits and
more.
Cleveland is- gradually going for¬
ward. It has advanced during re¬
cent years. It’s future is bright.
There are many things to be done.
I just hope the citizens there will
fully cooperate with you in carry¬
ing out constructive things which
are in your mind and in your heart.
Every summer I come to the
Mountain City area for a long stay
after spending six months in St.
Petersburg. I regret that it has
not been my privilege to get down
to Cleveland for a lew hours so we
might reminisce and chat on affairs
of mutual interest as of August,
1962.
I keep busy reading newspapers,
magazines, studying booklets issued
by resort hotels and chambers of
commerce, mingling with summer
guests, and taking trips to progres¬
sive North Carolina. Recently I
went from here to Bat’s Cave and
on to Maggie Valley. A night was
spent in Black Mountain, N. C.
Cars from many states in all the
places.
I will be here through Septem¬
ber so far as I know. May run to
Atlanta about election time so I
can get in on the returns. If you
drive up this way, pay me a call at
this hotel on U. S. 441 in center of
Mountain City—3 story white hotel
(once New Rabun).
While I seldom make a talk any
more, if the Cleveland Kiwanis
Club is short on speakers I might
agree to come there after election
day and discuss the subjects which
you referred to—more good roads,
atractions for summer visitors, and
related matters. As a chamber of
commerce man for years—Florida
and Georgia—all these subjects
have been given due thought and
support. My last connection was
Cartersville, Look at that growing
city todays I laid a foundation
for solid growth in a community
that was indifferent when I went
there in 1945, completing my task
by November 1951. Was director
of the Allatoona Area Planning
Committee and vice-president of the
U. S. 41 Highway Association for a
good reason: To get mid-western
tourists Florida bound to stay on
41 all the way from Benton Harbor,
Michigan via Chicago, Evansville,
Nashville, Chattanooga to Florida.
Resigning I went to St. Pete for
eight months, and have been going
back annually since.
My best wishes to you in all of
your endeavors.
Your friend of years—
Paul T. Harber
President Ga. Press Association
1917-1919 (2 years).
