freedom.
American Legion National Com
mander C. L. Bacon has called the
bell ringing a "... . dramatic na
tionwide demonstration of Ameri
ca’s devotion to freedom.”
Georgia Chairman Hugh Howell
Jr., said “The bells will be no
new cal to arms, but rather a dem
onstration that America is already
armed in unity, in spirit, and in
deep moral conviction.”
“One of the greatest tragedies of
our modern times,” he continued,
the apparent reluctance of
Americans to express their natural
love of country. A discouraging con
notation has been attached to the
word “patriotism”, and it has be
come fashionable to sneer at those
who speak sincerely of these Unit
ed States by references to them as
“flag wavers.”
Howell urged all Georgians to
join with “Americans from Maine
to Hawaii . . . from Florida to
Alaska” in ringing church bells
school bells, and chimes of every
size and in the individual display
of the American Flag on this day.

Lt. Gov. Garland Byrd rushed his
campaign ahead Tuesday night af

being done by women,” he said.
Segars said a Soviet chicken farm
employes about one laborer for 8-
000 birds. An American farm work
