Card of Thanks
Words are inadequate to ex
press our appreciation to our
friends who came to us in our
recent great sorrow with their
love expressed in flowers, food,
cards and many other loving
deeds. Even those who re
membered us silently in pray
er and thoughts of sympathy.
Also to Dr. Montgomery
and Dr. Clifford and the entire
staff, who administered to him
so lovingly and tenderly at
various times over the past
years when he was a patient
at the hospital.
We beseech the Lord there
fore to bless each one and by
this grief to draw us closer to
Him and to our fellow man
that Christ may be glorified
by our loss.

Tms is the last edition of oui paper oeiore the polls open
on September 12 to elect a new governor of Georgia.
I think it only appropriate for us to pause a few minutes at
this time and think of thie big decisions that we must make on
Election Day. These decisions are utlmately important and
the outcome of them wiil determine if Georgia will go forward
in the next four years.
First, and most important, will we use the privilege that has
been granted to us as Americans to vote? Every vote counts
on this election. The winners will be determined by popular
vote, not unit vote. Your one vote may decide who is the next
governor of Georgia.
Second, will you mark your ballot with honesty and sincerity
to yourself and to your state? Will you remember the plat
form of the candidates, and the facts presented to you in the
past months? After choosing your candidates, mark your ballot
with pride and dignity and not shame. If there Is doubt in your
mind today, study up on all candidates between now and Election
Day. Pick the candidates that you believe will represent you
best in the future.
Rember, the winning candidates will be state officials for all
of Georgia, not a minority or majority but all Georgians. We
that lose our votes must not feel defeated, but rather than that,
we must fell we are ready to fight with the winning candidates
in keeping the state of Georgia clean, honest, and decent.
Georgia’s future lies is the hands of all Georgians on Sep
tember 12. Won’t you cast your vote for a better Georgia on
that day. Your vote may determine if Georgia goes aheadl
We the friends of SENATOR HERMAN TALMADGE
in Taylor County deeply resent the remarks and ac
cusations that have been made by former Governor
Marvin Griffin. Marvin Griffin has seen fit to try to
cast the guilty cloak that he must bear for the cor
ruption, thievery and deceit that was so prevailing in
his administration onto the shoulders of our good
friend HERMAN TALMADGE.
We all know that 'Herman's administration as Govern
nor was one of the most progressive and honest our
State has ever kno'wn*
No amount of Griffin lies can hide what took plqce
during the "Grafting Years."

Georgia Scenes
WARM SPRINGS— In recent
years Georgia has become a
playgound of Presidents.
The trend started with the late
beloved President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who looked upon
Warm Springs as his second
home. And then came former
President Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, who frequented the Augusta
National Golf Course and who
hunted on a South Georgia
plantation.
The Little White House at
Warm Springs is one of Geor
gia’s many tourist attractions.
The four-times President lived
in mansions but built a modest
white frame house on Pine
Mountain. He retreated to this
place when he needed to get
away from the pressure of the
role he played in shaping the
history of this nation and the
world.
Retained much as it was when
the President died there April
12, 1945, the Little White House
holds the personality FDR gave
it. A lone wheel chair serves
as a grim reminder of his
affliction from Polio. Numer
ous ship models show his great
love of the sea. The chain for
his dog, Fala, and a riding
quirt still hang in a closet.
Mementos, cherished more be
cause of the givers than the
workmanship, adorn the walls.
Some were produced by school
children.
There are no guided tours
through the Little White House
but visitors are always wel
come. The Little White House,
so weil loved by the country’s
32 nd President, is just one
of Georgia’s many top notch
tourist attractions being pro
moted internationally by the
Tourist Division of the Georgia
Department of Commerce.

Comptroller-General.
STATE OF GEORGIA
The Candidate With a record of prov
en ability and accomplishment for
the people of Georgia.
ZACK CRAVEY'S RECORD
I No Georgia insurance company has failed during Cra-
vey's administration. When an insurance company
• fails, the policy-holders lose money and their insur
ance protection. Over 450 insurance companies have
failed in other states resulting in tragic Nnancial loss
to the citizens of those states. Not one Georgia in
surance company has failed during Cravey's admin
istration.
2 Georgia citizens today pay 30% less for insurance
than they did before Cravey was first elected. He
^ has consistently sought lower Insurance rates and
in the past two years has successfully opposed high
er rates in the courts of Georgia.
3 Zack Cravey furnished the leadership in investing
over $44,000,000 of Georgia Pension Funds to bring
^ dozens of new plants and industries to Georgia pro
viding thousands of new jobs for Georgia citizens.
Each of those loans is safe and secure and not. one
dime has been losf in such investments.
4 Zack Cravey serves on the Retirement Board of the
Peace Officers, Firemen and State Employees of
0 Georgia. He believes that through the prudent invest-:
ment of these fund* Georgia can and will pay more
dollars to those retired or anticipating retirement.
5 Zack Cravey sponsored the Georgia Safety Fire Law
and has been effectively enforcing this law so that
• not one Georgia school child has been lost in a school
fire during his administration.
6 Zack Cravey organized the Georgia Junior Fire Mar
shal program, training over 69,000 young people of
0 Georgia to protect themselves and their families
from the hazards of fire.
