Washington’s Birthday By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman ———Sentinels of the Republic —I “The character, the counsels anil example of our Washington . . . will guide us through the doubts and diffi culties that beset us; they will guide our children and our children's chil dren in the paths es prosperity and peace." That tribute to the enduring influ ence of George Washington was ex pressed by one of our earlier statesmen during a period as critical to America as our own. It remains a true estimate today. What counsels can wjb recall as, throughout the nation, we honor his memory? The Father of His Country was more eloquent In deeds than In phrases. Hf lived his own precept: “Actions, not words, are the true criterion.” But history has, nevertheless, recorded num erous expressions of his ^:dom and foresight. Many of them hold a pecu liar significance in a period marked by assaults on the very Constitution in Which he incorporated his hopes for the future of our Nation. Here are some of George Washing ton’s comments on the great dpirter of Liberties so Intimately identified With his Mfe and his spirit: “Thai precious depository of Ameri can happiness, the Constitution of dtr United States.” “The Constitution which at any tsrf exists till changed by an explicit ej authentic act of the whole people s sacredly obligatory to all.” “If in the opinion of the people he distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any par ticular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. Rut let there be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the cus tomary weapon by which free govern ments are destroyed.” “Experience is the surest standard by which to test the existing Consti tution of a country.” To which might be added one more. In the light of that odd adherence to a new and alien philosophy which’actu ates so many recent attacks on the Constitution, it seems timely to recall Washington’s oft-quoted war-time order: “Put none but Americans ol guard tonight.” FOR SALE Several mules and horses for sale.

Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Getting the True Perspective On Your Job p’ DUC ATO RS and business men of long experience have esti mated that it takes anywhere from , two to ten years for the high school or college graduate to adjust him self to the business world. The more you can shorten this period of ad justment, the greater and quicker will be your success. ® Much of the difficulty of adjust ment undoubtedly comes from the beginner’s inability to see in its true i perspective both his own job and the business he is in. As a result he may soon become convinced that । the business is dull and without op portunities, and his own job mere ' routine drudgery. Such an impres sion becomes an almost unsurmount able obstacle to success. Try to see beyond the routine of your job to the essential part it plays in the functioning of the bus iness. At the same time, by spare time reading and study of business subjects, seek to acquire a true pic ture of the part the business plays in the economic structure. OnceyoU have succeeded in this, your own work will acquire a new interest and the opportunities your business offers will become apparent No matter how great your intel ligence or your willingness to work, interest in and enthusiasm for your work are vital to success. Such in terest and enthusiasm must come through knowledge and understand ing. These come to few by instinct or as a gift from heaven. They are acquired through the extra study and thinking a man is willing to devote to his job. Hints for Motorists By C. R. Strouse Director, School of Automobiles.

Many greasy and grabbing front brakes have been caused by the presence of grease in the caps. The front wheels should be removed after every 5,000 miles of running, and the bearings washed thoroughly with gasoline.

WOODBINE LEADS GROUP “D” In Group “D” of the Home Town Elec trical Contest, composed of towns with from 25 to 100 residential electric custom ers, Woodbine clings to its lead as it enters the fourth month of competition — with 3,446.2 contest points. Close behind it is Chipley, which displaced Baconton, now third, followed by Ochlochnee and Darien in that order. Rentz jumped from eleventh to eighth place during the month; Alamo climbed from sixteenth to eleventh; Junction City and Hinesville improved their respective standings by thirteen places; Powder Springs by eleven; Sasser, Buena Vista and Brooklet by ten — and other startling shifts in the rankings showed stimulated activity throughout the entire list.

Much of this can usually be cleaned out by re moving the upper and lower hose connections and forcing water un der pressure through the radiator in a direction opposite to the nat ural flow, by means of a hose applied to the bottom opening. At the same time, to loosen the rust, a piece of board about C inches wide and 12 inches long should be held against the face of the radiator core and struck with light hammer blow’s, shifting the board around to differ ent position'. The hoard will pre vent damage to the core. Getting a Job and Getting Ahead By Floyd B Foster. Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Ideas Are Life Blood of Business Employers want real m»r?- men with sound ideas who have enough confidence in their worth to present them, and who are able to defend them if the occasion arises. Neither the “smart guy” nor the “shrinking violet” can look for ward to much in the present-day • business world. Bluff has proved so costly that | employers have been forced to learn to detect it no matter how well it is camouflaged. The shy and shrinking employee may have an idea worth a fortune to his em ployer, but it is absolutely valueless if he keeps it so well hidden that no one ever knows about it. Ideas are the life blood of busi ness and if you can provide them your future is assured. They must, however, not only be born in your own mind. They must be carefully worked out, firmly,' grounded in every detail, and * presented so clearly and convincingly that their value will be apparent. It is in this last respect that many men fall down. An idea good in itself may die still-born because its presentation leaves an impres sion of flashiness and insincerity. Similarly the too-modest man may ruin the chances for a good idea by failing to bring out its true value, by deprecating it even while he presents it to his employer The solution is by self-analysis to acquire that thorough knowledge of your strong and weak points which in itself gives confidence without over-confidence, and to conduct yourself as a man who knows his real worth without J either over-estimating or under estimating it. cotton Concentrate your “Bankbead" or “Lien Tag” cotton with us until the Supreme Court passes on the constitutionality of the Bankhead Act.
