VETERAN SERVICE NEWS
Georgians recently dis
charged from the armed forces
should remember some impor
tant steps in their shift to civi
lian life, says Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler.
Veterans first should inform
the draft board of their dis
charge and give them a cur
rent address. This is required
by law and must be done with
in 30 days after separation.
A veteran has a legal right
to old job in many instances,
but should immediately make
sure his former employer
knows he wants it back. Ve
terans who served only 6 months
active duty have only 31 days to
apply for their old jobs. Other
veterans have 90 days.
Many have reserve obliga
tions to meet according to pre
sent military service laws. If
in doubt about his reserve sta
tus, the veteratn should check
with the nearest reserve office.
Photostatic copies of dis
charge papers should be made
and originals kept in a safe
place. A discharge is the key
to veterans’ benefits and may
be used in many ways through
out a lifetime. Discharge
papers should also be recorded
by the county clerk at the court
house.
All military papers should
also be carefully reviewed to
see that no errors have been
made on them. Errors aremors,
difficult to correct as time
passes.
Veterans not immediately re-
employed should register with
the State Employment Office,
since military service may en
title the veteran to umemploy-
ment compensation if needed.

„ For
Representative Of
Taylor County
p ! A cand,date f °r the Democratic Nomination for Representative to the tlen-
like ta tT? m the Democratic Primary Wednesday, September 12. 1962 I would
like to take this opportunity to present to you my background, my qualifications
fnTrlt 6 ? C ° nC r ing PreSent Pr ° blemS ° f Ge0rgia in general and Taylor Sunty
in particular and my one campaign promise.
BACKGROUND • I was born in Taylor County on April 11, 1937, and have lived here
all of my life. My mother and father both taught school for a number of years
in our county and my father has since been engaged in the sale of automobiles and
farming. I am a member of the Reynolds Methodist Church.
QUALIFICATIONS:
In 1955 I was graduated as valedictorian of my class
from Reynolds High School. After four years of
college work at Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., I
received my BA degree in Business Administration
with highest honor. This past Jurte I was graduated
Cum Laude from Walter F. George School cf Law,
Mercer University, Macon, Georgia. I am a lawyer
and the primary function of our representative is to
make the laws of our state. This requires drafting
laws and understanding those presented by others as
well as a knowledge of the general framework of our
present laws.
SCHOOLS:
I am a friend of education as I have just completed
19 years of study. I know and appreciate the prob
lems of the teachers and pupils. We need more
teachers so that our children can be better trained
for life. One step toward this goal is better salaries
for all school personnel. We especially need more
vocational training so that pupils who graduate and
do not go to college will have a profession into which
they can move without additional training.
EXPERIENCE:
I have handled all purchases and sales of livestock
for Swearingen Hereford Farms for the past eight
years. I am a director of the Georgia Hereford As
sociation. I have aided in the operation of Taylor
County Motor Company. At Emory I was treasurer
of Sigma Pi Fraternity and handled some $20,000 a
year. At Mercer I was president of the Law School
Student Body and of my legal fraternity. My senior
year I was editor-in-chief of the Mercer Law Review
and in this capacity edited over 450 printed pages of
legal literature concerning cases and statues. In this
position I had the opportunity to meet and work with
the leading lawyers, judges, legislators and legal
scholars of our state.
ROADS:
We need many more miles or paved roads in (
county. I favor paving as many roads as possil
and paving them in such a way that they will 1;
longer.
YOUTH:
Since I am 25 years of age, I feel that my future
is before me and that I have the training plus the
drive necessary to get the job done. I am especially
interested in the future of our county and state be
cause it is my generation to which the fuure belongs.
INTEREST:
My interests are similar to yours because I am en
gaged in farming, the retail sales of automobiles and
the legal profession. I am the only candidate who
was bom in our county and has lived here all his
life. It is my intention to make Taylor County my
permanent home and therefore I am keenly interest
ed in our future.
DESIRE:
My reason for seeking this office is my desire to do
something for the people of our county. My goal
is to help make Taylor County and Georgia a better
place in which to live.
SOME NEEDS AS I SEE THEM:
If I am entrusted with the office of Representative
I will be in favor of any movement which will be of
interest to our citizens. We must, however, all work
together if we are to progress.
INDUSTRY:
Every day hundreds of our citizens are traveling out
side of Taylor County to work. We must strive to
bring some industry here so jobs would be provided
for them. We do not have enough attraction for our
youth to come back to our county after they acquire
their education.
MY CAMPAIGN PROMISE:
If I am elected I will do my very best for my county.
I will always consider the interest of all our citizens
and not just a few. I will earnestly strive to always
•conduct myself in a Christian manner.
I have tried to see everyone of you during the past
ten weeks. To the ones I have missed, I apologize,
because I wanted to see you and personallv present
my ideas to each of vou.
I have taken no stand in the gubernatorial race*
because I feel that our representative should be in a
position to work with whichever candidate is elected.
If you feel that I am the best qualified of the three
candidates for representative and that I can do the
best job for Taylor County during the next two years,
vote for me on September 12th. I sincerely desire
this opportunity to serve. Each of my opponents has
had a chance in this position, now I am asking for a ‘
chance. If elected to this office I will dedicate my
every effort toward serving you with understanding,
humility and appreciation Of the trust you bestow
upon me.
Respectfully,
ROBERT L. SWEARINGEN, JR. J
