Toll Roads Only Hope In
Some Areas, Maddox Says
ATLANTA (UPI) —Toll roads
are the “only hope’’ to relieve
highway problems and road
congestion In some areas
around the state, according to
Gov. Lester Maddox.

Caprice. Match tins, you other 69’s!
There is no joy in the land of our competitors today.
But let us ask you this.
Should we have made the Caprice shorter instead of the
longest Chevrolet ever built? Or adorned it with flashy nick-

The interior is also much improved.

The power range is very impressive.
sued a plea before the State
Tax Revision Commission that
Georgia needs more money for
its roads program.
"If they don’t get some more
this time, they’ve got to cut
down maintenance and we can’t
afford that,” Maddox said.
The governor said toll roads
are the “only hope” to acceler
ate highway improvements in
parts of the state.
“I don’t like toll roads,” he
said, “but wherever they are
feasible, I think we must go to
toll roads.”
The governor urged expansion

nacks to make it look less expensive?
Just because competition doesn’t should we not have offered
you washers to clean your headlights, the new variable-ratio

wheels at the touch of a button?
Standard V 8 is 210 hp. SS engines available up to 325 hp.
For added SS appeal: striping that flanks the nose and charges
up the side, power disc brakes, wide oval tires with raised white
lettering.
And when those big, fat tires grab the ground, you can almost
hear the suction.

Maddox already has said that

United Fund
Salvation Army
Concerned About
Wasted Lives
(Editor’s Note: The Salvation
Army is one of the organizations
that will share in the United
Funds campaign. In the follow
ing article, the organization tells
of its work and goals.)
Americans are throwing out
more things than ever before. Ev
erything from tin cans to junked
cars, so that more and more cit.
les are asking, “Where can we
put it all?”
As the population and its pos
sessions increase and available
space decreases, the disposal
crisis grows. But it is a relative
ly minor one compared to our
national trashpile of w’arped and
wasted lives.
It is with this major hazard to
our health and safety that The
Salvation Army is concerned. Its
approach is two-fold — to re
claim lives that society has toss
ed aside as worthless — and,
even more important, to streng
then individual and family life
so that no person will be callou
ly labeled "unwanted.”
On the reclamation side are its
special programs for alcoholics,
narcotics addicts, inmates of
correctional institutions, and
homeless men. The Salvation
Army, a member agency of The
United Fund in Griffin-Spalding
County, maintains institutions of
its own to help such people —re
sidential treatment centers for
alcoholics, halfway houses for
released prisoners, emergency
lodges, etc. It also works with
other organizations and govern
mental agencies.
The Army’s network of homes
and hospitals for unwed moth
ers not only helps the mothers,
often in their early teens, endure
a difficult ordeal, but also tries
to insure that their infants get
the best possible start in life.
Sometimes the girl’s parents and
even the unwed father and his
parents receive counseling.
All these Army institutions are
open to people through the
State of Georgia on a statewide
basis.
The preventive side of The
Salvation Army’s work centers
on the Corps, a unique commun
ity center providing many oppor.
tunities for worship, fellowship,
service and recreation. Much of
the program is concerned with
helping youngsters mature into
alert, responsible and compas
sionate men and women. There
are music groups, a Scout pro
gram for boys and a similar Girl
Guard program for girls, Sunday
School. Vacation Bible School,
leadership training, special inter
est clubs and camping.
Women who are at least 16 ye
ars old may join the Home Lea
gue, which follows a balanced
format of education, fellowship
service and worship. Men’s Fel
lowship Clubs provide men with
an avenue for community ser
vice. Last year nearly 11,000 per
sons benefited from these pro
grams.
The League of Mercy, a volun
teer group of men and women,
brings comfort to invalids, hos
pital patients and those confin
ed to various institutions throu
gh regular visits.
On local, regional and national
levels, The Salvation Army giv
es service to those in the armed
forces. It’s a member of USO
and also operates its own Red
Shield Clubs. In cooperation with
leading manufacturers, it pre
sents a personal military kit to
each inductee. Its emergency
disaster teams have won acclaim
for rendering speedy relief in
the midst of fire, flood and other
calamities.
Dedicated to serving humanity
in the name of Christ, The Sal
vation Army will not rest In its
unceasing war against the was
te of human lives. Armed with
enduring faith and modern tech
nical skills, it continues to deve
lop our greatest national resour
ce — men and women who use
their abilities to help others.
As of Jan. 1, 1968, registrations
of automobiles on the island of
Guam totaled 20,268.
