A CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION IS
I NECESSARY.
The very prompt manner in which
the business men of Brunswick have
proceeded to organize the St. Simon
Highway Campaign Committee is re
assuring and serves to inspire the
thought that some real work is ahead
in the matter Of successfully putting
1 over the proposed bond issue for the
St. Simon bridge. We are convinced
that the people of Glynn county will
vote for this splendid development
in city and county building, provided
the question is placed before them, in
sound, common sense fashion and in
a way that will be thoroughly con
vincing and to the point.
We must show the people the bene
fits that the whole community is to
derive from this enterprise; the sub
ject must not be skimmed on the top
but it must be presented from every
conceivable viewpoint in order that
all classes of our people may fully
understand what it means. Many peo
ple vote against the issuance of bonds
for the simple reason that they do not
understand the basic principles un
derlying the situation, as they fail
to grasp the full leaning of the re
sults that ‘will flow from the finished
work.
W.hile The News is end for the past
twenty years has always been willing
to do its fully duty in all public mea
sures making for the betterment of
this community, it feels that it ought
to say frankly to the committee now
considering procedure, etc., for the
task ahead, a few things that are ir
Its mind.
First, there must be a campaign
of education, if we hope to win this
bond election and this campaign
should be given very careful atten
tion by people who km>w what they
are doing. Second, it Is not fair to
ask the local press to undertake the
work of handling the publicity end
of this campaign, nor is it fair to as
sume that these newspapers can af
ford to give the time and the space
necessary to properly present the
matter to the people of the communi
ty. The subject is of deep and vital
interest to every man. woman and
[child in the county and we believe
jin all sincerity that a fund should be
produced to buy advertising space in
the newspapers and that a publicity
man should be employed to prepare
and edit all publicity matter to be
used in the campaign. We are ac
tuated by sane and sound motives in
making this suggestion and our past
record Is in evidence, as to whether
or not, we have ever failed to give all
that could be iu such work, as
is now ahead of us. *
If this is done and if the subject is
treated us it shoudl be, we are cer
tain that success will follow our ef
forts and we are merely making this
suggestion to the committee, because
wo believe it is our duty to do so
and to do so frankly.
BE FAIR TO YOUR MERCHANTS!
Whenever a citizen of Brunswick
Journeys to Atlanta. Macon or Sa
vnnnah for no other purpose than to
purchase certain items and commodi
ties because he thinks to save a few
dollars, that clttgen. does a grievour
and two-fold harm to the entire com
munity. The itent to injure is whol
ly absent, but the effect is identic
witli a premeditated desire in that
direction.
There re two perfectly logical pea
sons why out-of-town buying *cf those
things procurable here hurt local mer.
chants and-the .city at large. When
you tell foreign houses that you are
from Brunswick and <J>sire to p*
shown certain selected articles, you
heavily discount the concerns of your
city known to handle the same line
of goods. They are Immediately rat
ed as non-progressive and entirely
lacking in modern business essen
tints, the basic fundamental of which
Is kip-todatenew*. But even above
this hurt to the'very proper and right
ful pride ef the local dealers. Is the
unanswerable fact that all the money
so spent is withdrawn from home ctr
filiation, a result that affects the en
tire community. And the offense be
cornea doubly serious when march an
disc that Is carried in stock here Is
secured through northern and middle
west mail order house*. That money
's lost to both city and sute ami nev
*r cornea back. Kver think of this
md what it means to local interests?
Of course all buying away from
Brunswick Is premised tipi-n the idea
of saving money. But It is extremely
questionable If this is ace. mplished
o any rppreciahle extent, if at all.
and especially is to be doubted when
'ms of time, railroad fare, hotel am*
unexpected incidentals are added tc
he cost of the purchase. But even
It be true that one might save three
He or even ten per cent, the prtncl
Je is de*d wreug because tbe act af

sis will pneve.
Brunswick merchants, considered
in the aggregate, are well abreast of
the times. Their stocks are largo -nc
satisfying to the most fastidious if
thev but take the time to look them
over. Furthermore, it is doubtful if
there is a local merchant who would
not be pleased to order any particular
fabric or item not then in stock, and
his charge for the service would be no
greate rthan a normal profit.
Finally, it is the observation of The
News gleaned from actual contact
that temperate prices are employed
by merchants of Brunswick in all
their dealing with the public. Tak
ing the field by and large practically
everything is a shade cheaper here
than in the larger cities. But even
if the' reverse of this was true there
is.no gainsaying the fact that money
spent at home helps all because i*
stays here, while the same amount
sent elsewhere hurts all because it
goes away. On top of all this the
heme buyer in an indirect way gets
back a dividend on all he spends,
which in itself offsets in nearly ev
ery case the imaginary saving of the
mm buying elsewhere.
It is not fair to use the merchant
for small things and'then do your big
having out. of town. He is not a mer
cantile Shylock of sort or type, and
he deserves the very fullest support
because he is a living part of your
city. If your dealer is unfair in spots
get another who is fair in all things.
They are plentiful here, and while
they are here to make a living and
money to boot they are in no remote
way profiteers and they should not be
made to appear so. Don’t use them
that way, meaning for hasty conven
iences, and then leave them with the
bag to bold when larger things are
needed. It is not fair.
' AN EMBARRASSED HERO.
Sergeant Alvin C. York', after ter
rifying a considerable body of Ger
man troops by shooting to kill and
i never missing his mark, captured
132 of them single-handed and left
28 of them dead behind him in the
Argonne forest. The sergeant’s as
tonishing exploit won universal ad
miration, General Foch pronouncing
it the greatest individual feat of the
World War or any other war, says
the Valdosta Times.
When he came home Sergeant York
figured In ovation after ovation and
was given an official reception by
Congress. He declined to appear on
el‘her the lecture platform or in the
movies and went quietly back to his
home in Tennessee.
Then his proud fellow citizens call
ed for popular subscriptions to give
him a farm in token of bis State’s ap
preciation and the sum of $13,000 was
raised. Instead of purchasing a farm
which that amount would pay for the
mismanagers of the fund bought a
$26,000 estate. So the substantial gift
received by the hero was burdened
with a $12,000 mortgage.
Now' Sergeant York is emharassed
because he has not the wherewithal
to meet the $6,000 of mortgage dues
which must be paid soon If he Is to
keep his hold c l the gift-farm. The
Tennessee >ty of New- York an
rounce* thr L it will receive popular
fciifjsciriptlons to |<ay off till-* first
mortgage. Can the prosperous peo
ple of Tennesee, without blushing,
permit New York to be asked for
money which they ought to be proud
to raise themselves?
Verily this after-war reaction la a
Carious thing. If the gallant and
far-famed Sergeant York can be
brought to thi*. we need not wonder
that ordinary doughboys who achiev
e ( j no special distinction (hut did
their duty) are now out of employ
ment nnd sleeping on park benches.
