Everywhere you look you see pla-
cards In store windows, stickers on
automobiles, buttons on coat and
dress lapels. All Of these mediums
urge the Buy Now" move.
DO your part to create jobs for the
unemployed and aid those already
working by doing your buying nov
Money put in circulation will come
back to you. Idle money does no
one any good. Put your money to
work In way that will help your
self and will in turn help your neigh
bors.
Anything that helps business helps
you.
So buy those fall clothes now. Get
your house ready for the winter
months. Buy what you need and
want. It will stimulate business for
your neighbor who tomorrow will
come and trade with you.

Is studying social and economic Ills
lot of our trouble here in the
south could be eliminated with mod
fication OF some of the laws we
nave. The traiff for instance.
There are always people who con-
iemn bitterly drivers OF automobiles
saying they have no consideration
or pedestrians, that one would think
the auto owner owned the world.
stc. We have all heard the the
,aying that every automobile driver
should be = pedestrian for one week
o know how 1t feels.
We for one agree. But we also
.hink every pedestrian in the land
ought to have to drive an automobile
Tor a week. Or long enough to get
hat helpless feeling when someone
steps out in front of his car at
night and a car is approaching,
him with bright lights.
Every pedestrian ought to have the
split second of not knowing whether
he man is going to deliberately place
himself in front of his car or not.
If the pedestrians would place
themselves in the drivers place for a
week he would be more careful how
ne walked along the highway He
would always walk facing the lights
If the approaching car. He would
always. step off the paving when a
.ar was approaching. Accidents
would be prevented and lives saved.
Thousands Of children are enter
n.y. school this month for the first
lime. Thousands Of young hopefuis
are entering. a new life of adventure
with capital A.
Thousands more have just COM
pleted the high schools and colleges
Of our land. To them life Is Just
opening up. Many Of them do not
know what they want to do. Lots
Of them know but can't follow the
dictates OF their hearts due to eco
nonnic conditions.
The cream of the crop will find
Jobs. There's always room for a
person who is prepared by training
and has the proper stuff in him to
ucceed.
