OUPJkl i • I I 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.

BY VIRGINIA SALE- Actress 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. Sponsored by EDWARDS "FUNERAL HOME 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.
