DeKalb NAACP
Backed Action
Against Bond
ATLANTA The DeKalb
County chapter of NAACP said
in a statement Monday that ac
tion should be taken to “cen
sure, expel or exclude Rep.
Elect Julian Bond from his
Georgia seat in the House if and
when it is shown that he advoca
tes draft dodging and supports
the official statement of SNCC
which charged the United States
with aggression in Viet Nam and
urged all Americans to avoid be
ing drafted into military ser
vice.”
The statement was signed by
Charles E. Price, president of
the DeKalb NAACP.
The statement said the posi
tion taken by Bond is “unques
tionably un-American and unbe
coming an elected official.” It
said Bond's statements have
“tended to nullify any potential
effectiveness of Bond as a law
maker and created a situation
whereby from this moment the
district from which he was elec
ted is without representation.”

Unless you have money to burn,
you should hsat with natural gas.
Here are 5 reasons why
today’s families choose
GAS heating.
The cost of heating with some fuels is shocking. But
with natural gas you can enjoy economical comfort
Read these five reasons why natural gas is the pre
ferred fuel wherever it is available.
1. ECONOMY—-Natural gas heating in this area
costs less than heating with any other fuel. And this
economy is a proven dollars-and-cents fact, not a
misleading claim.
2. COMFORT—You can keep your whole house
at the temperature you want — no need to turn
thermostats low or close off rooms. You also enjoy
the circulation of fresh filtered air. And the ventila
tion of your gas heating system keeps cooking odors
and cigarette smoke from lingering.
3. CLEANLINESS — Natural gas is as clean as any
fuel or energy you can buy. It is used by business
and industry where cleanliness is essential.
4. CONVENIENCE—With any one of several
types of central gas heating systems, you simply set
the thermostat for automatic operation. And gas heat
ing systems require little attention or maintenance.
5. DEPENDABILITY—Natural gas is delivered
to your home by an underground, virtually storm
proof system. It is the most reliable of all services
delivered to you.
So, if you don’t have money to bum, Beat with
natural gas, as do more than 90% of all new homes
located where natural gas is available.
