## WHAT'S A NUT FOR?

A nut is an important type of fastening.

It draws things together. It holds them. It is removable and replaceable.

But its chief job is to hold. If it ever loosens and lets go, it's not a good nut.

An Elastic Stop Nut always stays put. It grips fast without extra locking pins or gadgets. It locks anywhere on the bolt. And even severe vibration won't break its hold. Until you want to take it off it's on for good.

The reason is the elastic collar in the top. This collar squeezes between and around the

bolt threads. It hugs them with an unyielding grip. Since it is elastic you can use the nut over and over again.

Today Elastic Stop Nuts are used by billions in building airplanes. A single bomber uses more than 50,000. That is because they are so secure and safe.

After a while you'll see these Esna nuts on many of the things you buy. You can tell them by their red collar.

And you'll know that the car, refrigerator, radio or whatever it is, will be safer, last longer, and need less service.

### OK'D FOR THE RESPONSIBLE JOBS

When Pan-American's great Boeing Clippers come home, they get a thorough going over. A swarm of skilled mechanics in 8-hour shifts have the Clipper ready to go again in 60 hours. The many thousands of Elastic Stop Nuts that fasten these ships cut inspection and servicing time and contribute greatly to their quick "turn-around."

And since these manifestations
occur despite the tax on voting
—which is the instrument of re-
action, an instrument designed to
winnow from the electorate all
save “the rich, the wise and the
good”—it reasonably may be as-
sumed that the Other South, cut
off from the political life by this
instrument, would appear, if it
could show itself, on the left of
center. It would vastly reinforce
those liberal elements in the
South that do speak at the polls
louder than the Southern States
Industrial Council.

We have a hint, for what it is
worth, in the Gallup survey taken
in the South between the party
conventions, where the results of
a sampling of preference for pos-
sible Democratic nominees for
Vice President indicated that
Wallace was wanted by 45 per
cent of the Southern people.

And finally we have the
strong presumption (because
nothing else makes sense) that
the Other South, which is the
great majority of the people,
would junk the infamous poll
tax in an instant if it could get
at it; for no people since the
beginning of history has ever en-
joyed having no voice in creating
its own circumstances and no
hand in the shaping of its times.

America really ought to dis-
cover the Other South. One of
these days, somehow, it will
emerge, it will re-enter the

American Republic, it will take
its rightful place and cast
rightful weight in our nation's
choices. Neither the weight nor
its influence upon the course
America will be inconsiderable.

When that arrives, the Other
South will, if only because of
numbers, tower above the mo-
chine bosses and unreconstruct-
ing oligarchs whose jealousies, prej-
dices, greed and duplicity ha-
fastened the mask of bourbonis
on the South. If only because
its numbers, it will swamp the
out as powers. And it can
counted upon to deal with the
masqueraders on an old score,
that their misrepresentation
their manipulations of the un-
democratic rule of two-third
their tear-jerking parade
“States’ rights,” for so long ha-
kept the Other South in out
darkness.
