Joint Meeting Of Motor Club And Highway Officials Coleman Roberts, president of the Carolina Motor Club, recently announced that he had called a special meeting of the club's board of directors for January 28th, at Columbia, S. C., and invited state highway and motor vehicle officials from both North and South Caro lina to attend the session, for the express purpose of discussing ways and means to meet future highway needs and o study a long-time highway planning program for the Carol mas. He also announced that when the next session of the South Carolina state legislature convenes in January, the Carolina Motor Club will present a program of great interest to that state. In addition to the general coun sel and chief engineer from each state, the Carolina Motor Club has invited L. B. Prince, chairman of the North Carolina state high way commission ; J, M. Williamson, chairman of the South Carolina state highway commission; and T. B. Ward and A. W. Bohlen, direc tors of the motor vehicle depart ments of North and South Caro- ina, respectively, to attend the meeting. During the forthcoming joint conclave of the CMC directors and highway officials, visits will prob ably be made to certain projects in South Carolina, including Fort Jackson, in which highway offi cials of both states will be inter ested. " Anticipating a great increase in highway travel, Roberts declared, "Travel will play an important part in defense activities, as well as post-war activities. Manufac turers and executives of all kinds have found that help and labor are more efficient and more valuable when they take time off for recre ation and travel. "With this idea in mind, the Carolina Motor Club urges em ployers to provide at least two weeks vacation with pay for all employees every year, and we urge those who are entitled to such vacations to, take trips, to visit new places and meet new people, and talk about things dif ferent from their everyday life. It is such a program of recreation that will lead to a better under standing among all our people. It will lead to a greater appreciation of our natural resources and op portunity; and it will promote bet ter health among au." Cruso Clnb Hears Of Defense Work The Cruso 4-H club had an in teresting meeting last week, on the defense program, which was explained by Wayne Corpening, club leader.

"Do More Advertising In 1942 If You Expect Good Business" In his annual forecast, this internationally famous business com mentator, said the war will help and hurt retail business and Mo the whole I do not expect retail trade to be so good in 1942 as it was in 1941. 1 recommend to retailers that they must Increase their advertising appropriations if they expect good business in 1942. Selling in general has not been difficult in recent months. Stores have been filled with plenty of buyers. Fear of inflation and a belief on the part of many that goods might be worth more than money has boosted sales . . . From here on, what with real sacrifices in consumers goods, rationing, standardization, and limitations on prices, competition will increase. Stores must use every device at their command to bolster their gross business. "ADVERTISING IS THE MOST NATURAL AND POWERFUL FORCE TO BREAK UP THE COMING BUYERS' 'SIT DOWN' STRIKE."
