HOW THE A. M. A.
PROTECTS YOU
The American Medical association,
through its councils on pharmacy
and chemistry and foods, uses every
effort to protect the people against
inferior and worthless drugs and
foods; also to maintain a high stand
ard for hospitals and medical schools.
The council on pharmacy and chem
istry examine all drugs submitted by
pharmaceutical manufacturers to de
termine whether or not the drugs
are what may be claimed for them
and if the value can be verified so
far as claims are made for them for
their usefulness in the treatment of
illnesses which they are claimed to
cure.
The council on foods inspect and
examine all foods submitted to de
termine whether or not the claims
of processors or manufacturers are
warranted and merit acceptance by
the council.
If the drugs and foods examined
by the councils are accepted, then
the manufacturers are authorized to
use the seal of acceptance by the
American Medical association. If they
are found to be unworthy of recog
nition, they are rejected.
If you family physician prescribes
only such drugs and foods as are
accepted, you need not have any fear
of such disasters as happened after
the use of elixir of sulfanilamide
and the claimed to be “cancer cure”
in Florida. A number of deaths oc
curred from each. If he is a member
of his state medical association and
the American Medical assoiation, he
is in position to know exactly what
drugs and foods to prescribe.
The A. M. As conduct many other
activities without expense to the lay
men which are signally for the ben
efit of the people. Included in these
are the classification of hospitals,
medical schools and the quality of
physical therapy used in the treat
ment of diseases.

Sumter Farmer Is
Thankful For Aid
Rendered By FSA
PLAINS, Ga., Oct. 26.—Joe Dozier
was a good farmer—and still is, for
that matter —but he is one of the
thousands who were victims of
drought, lean crops years and unfa
vorable farm prices.
By the end of 1934, the Doziers had
just about reached the limit of their
ability to “carry on.” They had fail
ed to produce enough feed for what
little live stock they had left on the
place. And, what was still worse, the
ale of their cotton crop that year
failed to bring in enough to pay rent
and other current expenses, much
.ess provide cash for food and cloth
ing.
That, in brief, was the unpleasant
situation they faced at the time they
applied to the farm security admin
istration for aid in January, 1935.
But Joe Dozier was not to be defeat
ed so easily. All he wanted was a
chance, and this was given to him
by the federal government.
With an F.S.A. rural rehabilita
tion loan, the Doziers were enabled
to buy two mules, the necessary farm
equipment, feed for the stock, and
food and clothing for members of the
family. Then, with the aid of the
Sumter county farm and home sup
ervisors, they went to work to make
a good crop, not only to provide a
living for themselves, but to sub
stantiate the faith which had been
placed in them.
Today, Joe Dozier thinks this old
world is not such a bad place after
all. He knows he has won his fight,
and has again become a successful
farmer. Os course, he’s not complete
ly out of debt yet, but he has things
well in hand and is making a good
living on the farm.
Dozier, who is 41, has always liv
ed in Sumter county. For the past
five years he has rented a 200-acre
farm near here. It is located seven
miles from Americus, just off the
Plains-Americus highway.
Huiet Visits County
And Thanks Voters
Ben T. Huiet, successful candidate
for commissioner of labor, was in
our city and county last week thank
ing the voters in person. He was ac
companied by Berry Frank Holbrook,
who is three feet tall and weighs
sixty-five pounds, the smallest law
yer in the world.
Mr. Huiet stated that during his
campaign he promised the people of
Georgia, if elected, to try and make
the department of labor one of the
most outstanding in the United
States, and one of the best depart
ments of our state government; and
he was now calling on all the people'
of Georgia to help him attain this
goal; he stated he also told the people
he would always bear in mind that
the office belonged to the people of
Georgia and that he was there as
their servant to administer their af
fairs to the best of his ability.
Mr. Huiet also stated it would be
impossible to see and thank all his
riends in person and wished to ex
end this card of thanks:
“We have finished the fight, we
have fought a good race; let’s push
forward and give Georgia the bes'
administration she has ever had and
make it a better place in which to
live. I feel a deep sense of humble
less in the signal honor that has
been given me. To my friends scat
tered throughout the state I give all
he credit and am deeply grateful
'or their loyalty. I have always tried
to apply the Golden Rule in my
dealings with my fellow man and
shall continue to do so upon assum
ing my new duties as commissioner
>f labor. I hold malice towards none;
rm at peace with God and my fellow
man. The doors of my office will be
pen at all times; you are assured a
cordial reception. Come to see me.”

Oldsmobile’s New Cars
Are Now On Display
Three smart new Oldsmobiles for
1939—tw0 sixes and an eight—all of
fering a fresh new note in modern
streamline styling and much that is
new in mechanical design, are now
oeing shown by R. D. Davison, nev'
Oldsmobile dealer for Chattooga
county. .
Among the high points of interest
in the cars with which Oldsmobile
starts its forty-second model year
are:
1. Addition to the line of a brand
new six-cylinder car which brings
Oldsmobile quality to the low-price
field.
2. Introduction on all models of the
“Rhythmic Ride,” a new perfection
of roadability and riding comfort re-
I seulting from quadri-coil springing
lin combination with four separate
I stabilizing factors built into the
chassis.
3. Attainment of perfect steering
geometry through a new hook-up em
ploying a relay link with twin tie
rods of equal length, termed “dual
center-control steering.”
4. Introduction of handi-shift as
sandard equipment— a replacement
of the conventional gear shift lever
oy a short, horizontal manual shift
arm on the steering column.
5. Continuation as an optional ex-
tra on all models of Oldsmobile’s au
tomatic safety transmission which
provides important added advantages
in performance, operating economy i
and ease of control. j
The low-priced six, known as the
Series Sixty, is powered with a new
ly developed “Econo-Master” engine
of ninety brake horsepower designed
to provide top flight performance at
minimum operating cost. A larger |
six, developing ninety-five horsepow- |
er and with a wheelbase of 120
inches, is designated the Series Sev
enty, while . the 110 horsepower
Straight Eight on the same wheelbase
has been named the Series Eighty.
