ADVERTISING AND SUCCESS
lGates County IndeXl

Advertising is perhaps the most
wonderful development of the
modern commercial age. 1t is the
maker or breaker of business, big
or little.
Advertising is the one factor of
successful sales that is most apt
to be overlooked by the merchants
of the smaller towns and cities.
This should not be so!
Advertising is not the exclusive
weapon of big business; it is the
power that will make little con-
Germs grow into larger concerns.
1t is a science that requires study
and, be it said, real character. 1t
cannot succeed if it is untrue; it
must build upon faith, honesty
and confidence.

by the road and that Mr.. Perkins
was willing to go out and investi-

have lost consciousness and died
of his injuries and exposure, or
crawled into the highway and been
run down. Unfortunately, it is with
good reason that many persons in
automobiles would be reluctant to
go to him as he knelt and tried to
wave.

OUR PAPER FINDS FAVOR ON
FAR AWAY MIDWAY ISLAND

To The Editor:
While reading the Hawaiian edi-
ton of the "Air Force Times,
dated March 81, 1866, l noticed an
article Special Events set for the
South, on Page 10. Described in
this article was the Dare Coast Pr
rates Jamboree, which is planned
for April 27-30.
Last year at this time was
stationed at johnson Air Force
Base, Japan, and this year / am

Mid-Pacific. However, ] hope to
be there to attend the Jamboree
next year for sure.

newspaper ever since I've been
overseas and although the copies

them,I still enjoy reading about
my home county. There are those
little personal bits of news that
just never get old. A lot of my
buddies enjoy reading the articles
on fishing and beach life.

SINISTER DICTATORSHIP

Dixie Guide of Gulfport, Mss.)
The decision of the u S. Supreme Court to the effect
that bus and other transportation systems incorporated
within the boundary of the state and combining their ac
ties strictly to interstate traffic longer under the
jurisdiction of the state just about destroys the last vesge
of whatever there left of constitutional guarantees
These sinister times There have been strange
relationships in the course of history but
witnessing for the first time dictatorship by the judiciary
The Supreme Court has decreed that the states longer
have jurisdiction their affairs 1t had already de-
sroyed individual rights by debating from Washington
that little white and coored boys must go to school to-

These insults to the intelligence and principles of
free people will not go unchallenged Citizens Councils will

By GEORGE HUBER

George Washington's basket
ball team heads for Richmond
and the Southern Conference
tournament starting there to-
morrow with the kind of basket
ball game under its belt it should
have been playing all along.
In a 93-77 victory over
Georgetown last night at Uline
Arena, the Colonials displayed a
system of attack that might
have won for them in some OF
the six games they lost during
the regular season.
With the Georgetown defenses
stacked to stop Joe Holup, GW's
big gun, the other Colonials
generally didn't even bother to
feed him the ball. Instead OF
wasting a lot Of time trying to
find some way past the de-
TENDERS in front of Holup. his
teammates passed the ball
around among themselves and
did some shooting of their own.
The result was Holup got

ers on the CIV team outscored
him.

BLUFF CHARACTER

star stan CORRESPONDENT

ORLANDO. Fla, Feb. 29.-Hsl
Griggs, a why pitcher with a
built-in smile, was married on
the mound at Hickory, N. c., in
1852 AS he explains it; "Shucks'
L didr't know nothing about hit
ting, and they weren't about TO
get me to have that wedding at
home plate"
The mans a tattooed character
with an unbelievable back
ground, but he's also a hurler
who had a 1873 record with
Chattanooga last season. The
Senators brass likes his fast ball,
and he's given better than a
$3.50 shot at sticking with the
club.
Griggs claims he never played
baseball as youngster, that he
first was introduced to the sport
when he decided to abandon the
life of a bellhop in 1850 when he
was 81 years old.
There was a fellow staying
at the New Yorker Hotel in
Miami Beach," Griggs said, who
had a part interest in the De-
land (Fla.) team and he was
headed there. He asked me If
i had ever played ball and I said.
Sure. I'm a pretty good out
fielder / was tired OF bell
hopping--I knew that wasn't the
life for me-but all I knew about
baseball was that they played 1t
with nine men on a team.
Nothing to Lose

this fellow and tried out" Griggs
continued. II didn't have any
thing to lose. All I could do was
throw hard. and I didn't have
any idea where the ball was
going. but they tried me in some
exhibition games and l did fair
for three innings against Stetson
University.
Anyway, they signed me-"
Griggs said. They sold me to
Hickory for 500. Hickory paid
me $38 a week. ! made more
