Dealers’ Sons’ School
Tliere ara few Americans, re-
of their personal political
nrpdi’pctions. who will not agree
with the main theme of President
Roosevelt’s first message to the
new Congress.
That is that the United States
must put its armed forces into
such condition that this country
will be able to resist any threat to
our national rights or encroach
ments upon our liberties by any
foreign power.
Detroit,Man. 14—Thirty youths
’rcm all sections of the United
States arrived here this week to
enroll in the Post-Graduate
School of Modem Merchandising
and Management for Dealers’
Sons, a “college” unique in modem
industry.

a merit system after nomination
by executives in the Chevrolet

Mrs. R. E. Corbett, of Lexington
county, winner of Central district
prize in Home Garden contest con
ducted by Home Demonstration
Forces for which she received $25
from Chilean Nitrate Educational
Bureau. Mrs. Corbett grew enough
vegetables to serve hor family the
year round and sold $544 worth,
all on seven-eights of an acre of
land. >
But in a world where force
seems to be the principal means
of making other nations agree
with the ones which have v the
most powerful armaments, cer
tainly the woice of America will
be listened to with more respect if
we put ourselves in a position
where others will realize that we
have the necessary force to back
up our words, if it comes to a
showdown.
There are other means of un
dermining the influence of the ag
gressive dictatorships, and those
are already in our possession.
The suggestion will doubtless be
made in Congress, and will receive
much public support, that com-
• merce of any kind with any un
friendly nation should be pro
hibited.
Japan is almost facing ruin now
by reason of the threat to her silk
exports, since a new artificial silk
superior to the natural product is
just ?:2ing put on the market in
this country. If Japan could not
buy American cotton and other
goods that nation would be in
serious difficulties indeed.
And so with Germany, Italy and
other nations which are making
more or less threatening gestures
toward the United States.
All cf them can be brought to
terms by economic pressure which
is well within our ability. But be
fore we begin to put on the pres
sure we should be ready to resist
if they choose to fight about it.

Wins National Award
William E. Holler, general sales
manager of Chevrolet.
The youths will be graduated
after eight weeks of intensive
training, investigating all depart
ments pertaining to the conduct
of a retail business. In addition,
they are “factory-trained” to the
extent that classes are held right
in plants and engineering labora
tories, where the students learn
designing, servicing, re-condition
ing of used cars and other phases
of the business.
More than 100 men already have
been graduated from the school,
which was founded by Mr. Holler,
and was in the course of prepara
tion for five years prior to its
onening in the spring of 1938.

056 Broad Street Augusta. Ga
Columbia, Jan. 23.—Mrs. R. E.
Corbett of the Oak Dale Home
Demonstration Club, Lexington
county, took seven-eights of an
acre of land for a garden spot,
grew enough vegetables to serve
her family the year round, gave
generously of them to her neigh
bors and sold $544 worth during
the year 1938, thereby winning
first prize in the Central district
in the Home Garden contest con
ducted by the State Home Demon
stration forces of South Carolina.
Mrs. Corbett says she planted 25
different vegetables in her garden
and that there was not a time
during the year when some fresh
vegetables could not be gathered
in it. She says she did not can
as much as she could have because
she always had the fresh vegeta
bles available but she did take
time out to put up 175 quarts of
/egetables; 140 quarts ©^tomatoes
and 170 quarts of fruit.
I started my garden in Novem
