County Tuesday
Doctor’s Day was marked in this
county with a red carnation, the
official flower of the nation-wide
observance.
A dinner planned for the physi
cians was postponed to April 24
because of the crowded condi
tion of clubs and hotels this week.
Doctor’s Day honors living and
deceased members of the medical
profession. Its date, March 30, also
commemorates the first use of
anesthesia in surgery by Dr.
Crawford W. Long of Georgia.
The observance was originated
by a member of the Women’s
Auxiliary of the Georgia State
Medical Association in 1934. The
following year it was introduced
to the Auxiliary of the Southern
Medical Association and today it
is marked by almost every state
medical auxiliary in the nation.
’The original Doctor’s Day reso
lution praised physicians for their
“valiant struggles and sacrifices
for the defense of human living.”

All Safety Tires Aren't Alike ...Only
the Firestone Supreme Protects
You Against Ajj these Dangers
-
Delayed-Action Blowouts
Most blowouts are caused by broken cords of the tire body chaffing
a tube, following a severe impact with a rock or other blunt object.
In this new safety tire, the tube is replaced by an air-tight butyl
Safti-Liner that is an integral part of the tire. There's no tube to
pinch or blowout when injury to the tire body occurs.
Instantaneous Blowouts
Any tire can blow out instantly when cut by a broken bottle, a scrap
of metal, or similar sharp object. But only the Firestone Supreme
can prevent an accident because it has a special emergency tire
inside which holds enough air to allow you to come to a safe
straight-line stop.
iilpf

I
Hazardous Punctures
Inside this tire is a puncture-sealing material which adheres to nails
and other penetrating objects and prevents air loss, enabling you
to continue on to your destination without interruption.
Dangerous Skids
Maximum protection against skids because of wider tread contact
with the road . . . More gripping power per square inch because
of special Traction Boosters and Skid Resisters.
