TOWNS MUST GIVE
TOURISTS SERVICE
TO ATTRACT THEM
The towns that get and hold
the tourists are those that pro
vide adequate facilities for them
as regards eating and lodging,
develop points of interest, cul
tivate a friendly attitude to
ward the visitor and otherwise
make their community attrac
tive, Clark Gaines, Secretary of
the State Department of Com
merce, told the membership of
the Baxley Chamber of Com
merce in an address there Fri
day night.
“Our towns,” he said, “should
be at least as interesting as
those the visitors left up North.
Every community in Georgia
should be a money - making
tourist town. But to do this they
must put all the color and
charm into the town that is
possible. In fact, we’ve got to
learn to grow color and beauty
as a crop.
“What do you have besides
sunshine and a mild climate
that would appeal to the eyes
of the person on vacation?
What would you want in your

several days of your vacation
here? Maybe you need a beauti

already have.
“Our big problem is not so
much to get tourists to come
to Georgia—they have to do
this to get to Flordia. It is to
have them ’linger a little long
er! And it through this linger
ing that the dollars will flow
into Georgia’s cash registers;
that is where the profit lies.”
Mr. Gaines said that by de
veloping personality visitors are
attracted just as an individual’s
personality attracts others to
him and promotes his success
in the wrold. The same sort of
community development, he
continued, works also in be
half of getting new industries
to Georgia.

Prospects for a 55 million tree
seedling crop from Georgia’s
three nurseries remain good,
according to L. C. Hart, Jr., as
sistant director of the Georgia
Forestry Commission, who is in
charge of the nursery program.
Fifty five million is a lot of
trees, but this amount probably
still won’t supply the ever in
crreasing demand. So if you are
thinking of planting pines on a
few of those idle acres, it would
be wise to place your order now.
If you will come by the office.
I will be glad to help you with
your order, or just drop us a
card, and we will mail you the
necessary order blanks.

Cotton Cloth Used
By 99 Per Cent
In Home Sewing
Ninety-nine per cent of all
women who sew at home pur
chase cotton fabrics, a recent
survey conducted by a leading
pattern company reveals.
The survey reports results of
interviews with 5114 women, re
flecting representative sam
pling of women consumers.
Only one per cent of those
questioned about the kind of
fabrics they bought for home
sewing failed to mention cot
ton.
The study shows that women
who sew at home come from
every walk of life. Os the 47
per cent who do some home
sewing, the high income group
represents 14 per cent, upper
middld class 19 per cent, lower
middle group 38 per cent, and
income classification 29 per
cent.
Dresses are the most popular
items for home sewers. The in
terviewees reported that nearly
every woman who sews had
at least one dress during the
past year. About half of the wo
men made blouses, skirts, aprons

Mr. Bob Ratliff, of Bolling,
spent Wednesday with his sis
ter, Mrs. R. A. White.
and house dresses. Only a few
made suits, coats, slacks, and
other not-so-frequently replaced
garments.
The sewing survey shows that
only a very small number of
women who sew make clothes
for men. Approximately a third
made pajamas for any member
of the family, while 14 per cent
made shirts.
The women who were ques
tioned in the study mentioned
washability, color fastness and
good color prints as qualities
which make cotton a desirable
sewing fabric.
