So far everyone has chosen Braw-

Two Sure Ways
TO Find Gates
By HENRY 1IcLEMORE

ATLANTA. Ca, Nov. g. CUP)-
There are two accepted methods
by which a visitor to Atlanta can
find the British amateur golf
champion.
One is to stand at Five Points,
the center of town, until a fellow
passes who has a draWl as soft as
i cotton boil a smile as wide as a
furow. and all the naturalness of
Jeeter Lester swinging down To-
baCco Road
That'll be Charlie Yates.
The other method is to wend
your way through the marble halls
and formidable cages of the First
National bank until you find Bank
er Yates at his desk. buried as deep
in financial records as he ever was
in Saint Andrews bunker.
l used the latter method and am
pleased to report that at last |
have found an amateur champion
who works. Charley isn't just 9
shW piece for the bank He wasn't
hired because he swept through
eight matches at Troon last sum
mer and brought back to Atlanta
the cup it hadn't seen since Bobby
Jones quit going to the golfine
wars. He was hired to do a lob
and my surprise at finding an ANA
teur champion hard at work behind
a desk when the sun was warm. the
skies blue, and fairways callirg
must have been evident because
Charley's boss spoke up and. ith
a smile, said:
"Charleys a hard-working banG-
er now, and golf is just some
thing that comes on week-ends."
He sure is right about that
Charley said If there weren't any
Saturdays or Sundays in the week
I'd just sell my clubs. I wouldn't
have any use for EN-"
Did that mean, I inquired of
Banker Yates, that he didn't plan
TO defend the British amateur at
Liverpool next summer.
No he answered. Il am going
10 try and get over there with the
cup and see if can defend it.

Mr.. F. Donald Coster. president,
in his letter to stockholders states:
"All business is struggling under an
oppressive tax load that requires ad-
justment to loading capacity before
healthy business can be restored. The
general instinct of the Government
for increasing tax rates and creating
new sources of revenue has resulted
in the enactment of five tax measures
since 1888, all increasing taxes, yet
not catching up with Government ex-
penditures. The new social security
taxes are beginning to make them
selves felt; our contribution toward
this tax last year was $345,915.32,
or approximately q cents pershare
on common stock outstanding, which
does not include approximately $780,
900 contributed by our employees.
Big Tax Bills Paid.
Our tax bills, paid or accrued. for
the last year amounted to $685.
900.49. equivalent to S155 per share,
on 1,282983 share of common stock
outstanding, compared with S160 per
share earned for our common stock
holders.
Putting it in another way, from
total of $5,637,8232 earned for
