The people of Georgia have spoken well and clear through
the "Draft Byrd" campaign. Over 70,000 signatures were pre
sented to Secretary of State Ben Fortson last Friday evening.
What part did you as home folks play in the preliminary
victory for Garland T. Byrd last week? Were you among the
thousands that signed the petitions that flooded our state?
There was no time for local organizing therefore petitions
were not circulated too well throughout our county. However,
the largest majority of those people approached responded.
Still there were a few people that refused to sign the petition.
This was disheartening to local volunteer workers. Why would
any local person refuse to sign the petition?
After studying the situation we decided the only reason a
local person would refuse to sign would be because he or she
thought Garland Byrd was physically unable to take office at
this time, and if he did it would be detrimental to his health.
I personally think that Garland Byrd and his doctors know better
than you or I if he is physically able to hold the office of lieutenant
governor for four more years. Too I think happiness does more
for a man physically than any medicine he could ever take.
We will know in a few days if enough signatures were valid
to place Garland Byrd on the ballot come November. If you
did not get a chance to speak through the "Draft Byrd”campaign
last week, then sign a petition today. It is too late to be counted
but is not too late to speak.
Garland T. Byrd has accepted the "Draft Call” of many
Georgians. Today, he extends warm and sincere appreciation
to over 70,000 Georgians that performed the almost impossible
task last week, the drafting of Garland T. Byrd for lieutenant
governor.

I love my work. 1 believe
that laughter is a great soul
cleanser, and 1 pray that my
audiences may somehow be bet
ter off for having seen my show.
I believe in blessing everything
and everybody along the way.
I have failed if 1 haven’t be
forehand blessed everyone in
my audience, everyone back
stage, and, when I’m working
in television, radio or motion
pictures, everyone in the
studio-my fellow actors and the
director and technicians.
What do I mean by "bless
ing"? Well, I first have a deep
sense of gratitude to an audi-
^^ence, and a feeling of good will
►
and good wishes, so that I know
there is complete harmony be
tween them and me, and I know
they will like me because I
really like thern-than we will
tune in together.
My late brother, the gre u
character actor and comedian,
Charles "Chic" Sale, said to
me one lime when we were talk
ing about spiritual things and
about being perfect channels for
expression: "The thing to do,
kiddo, is to stay in character
ise God’s child.” And 1 try never
to forget this.

BUTLER, GA.
by Jerry Jarrell
(Ed. note: A program was
given by Jerry Jarrell, John
Childs and Marily Spillers at
a circle meeting. Because of a
widespread interest in the sub
ject, Jerry consented to write
the following article.)
The tremendous power of
Communism is confronting the
world. Not only does Commu
nism hold sway in most of Asia
and good part of Europe, but it
is undeniably making efforts to
secure control in most of the
other areas of the world.
Apparently this force has
even moved into our own back
yard in the instance of Cuba.
The advance of this power
means the destruction of spiri-
tual, political, economic, and
social values, that is the way
of life which many of us hold
dearly.
Are we aware of this force
and the consequences of its
possible control over the world,
including us? There are at
least three attitudes which we
might take regarding the Com
munist movement. (1) Com
munism is an evil which will go
away if we don’t think about it.
Nonsense! Most of us have
ignored it long enough, and it has
only grown. (2) Communism
is too powerful to stop so we
might as well give up. After
all isn’t it better to be "Red
than dead”? Many thoughtful
people quickly reply no to this
question. What would life be
like if the freedom to conduct
it in the manner which you
chose was denied you? (3)
Communism is powerful but it
can be defeated if we will realize
the necessity of opposing it,
accept the challenge to do so
and pay the necessary price for
the victory.
If we are serious in our
desire to challenge commu
nism, what can we do? The
realization of two facts is a good
starting point. (1) Most of
us are greatly ignorant of who
the communists are, what they
are trying to do and how they
are going about their job. If we
hope to intelligently oppose our
enemy, we must certainly be
informed about him. There are
several good books such as
MASTERS OF DECEIT by J.
Edgar Hoover or if we feel
brave we might tackle the
original source such as DAS
KAPITAL by Kar Marx and THE
COMMUNIST MANIFESTO by
Karl Marx and Friederich En
gels. (2) There is a tremen
dous vacuum in the world today.
Minds cry out for knowledge,
followers cry for a leader,
stomachs cry forfooA diseases
cry for healing and wandering
millions cryout tor some mean
ing in lite. Some one has said
that only two forces remain in
the world today to fill this
vacuum - Christianity and com
munism. The communist press
alone exports several million
books a year to fill the vacuum
of knowledge.
The most important battle
against communism must be
fought at the spiritual level.
Communism is mainly an idea
and must be defeated by a better
idea and the best idea is the
truth. Those of us who serious
ly follow as LorA Him who said,
’I am the Way, the Truth and the
Life’ must live our lives to fill
this vacuum with the good news
of this Truth.
So many of us inTaylorCoun-
ty are so wrapped up in own
petty local situations and pro
blems that we fail to realize that
there are some big things going
on in the world outside our
scrub-oak-covered sand hills.
We must accept the challenge
to actually become part of the
rest of the world and the fight
against communism is one area
in which we need to accept this
challenge.
