Someone has wisely said: Men

men who give in if right — —are
married.
Speaking of opening things by
mistake — like another’s mail —
that is rare indeed compared to
opening one’s own mouth the same
way.

pear.
In the last 10 years, second-class
mail rates (applied to newspapers
and magazines) have increased 89
per cent. A current proposal would
sent them up again, by something
like 50 per cent. The result, in the
view of Editor and Publisher:
“Magazines will feel the brunt of it
in proportion to their size. In the
newsapper business it will be the
small dailies and weeklies that
will suffer. It will ultimately mean
the suspension of many marginal
publications that are just making
ends meet.’’
Speaking of what a newspaper
does in a communily, the late U.S.
Senator Davis of Illinois, made an
address many years ago in which
he said: “Every year each weekly
gives from $500 to $1,000 in free
lines for the benefit of the com
munity in which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this.
The editor in proportion to his
means does more for his town
than any other man, and he ought
to he supported, not because you
like him or admire his writimg, but
because a local paper is (he best
investment a community can make.
Today the local newspapers are
doing more for less than anything
else on earth. Patronize your pa-
pper, not as a charity, but as an
investment.”
Thoughts for Seniors
When we stop learning, life
passes us by. The mind requires
constant nourishment. New knowl
edge, new interests, and new ex
periences feed the mind and we
remain young in heart and spirit
only so long as we desire these
things. Neglet the mind and we
grow old far beyond our time.
Knowledge must be used to be
retained. Will Rogers once said,
"It’s not what you know but how
vou use what you know that
counts.” Knowledge of the truth is
not enough. The truth has to be
experienced. And experience helps
us to understand better what we
have read.
Useful knowledge is a tool. No
craftsman cai do good work with
blunt tools. Our knowledge must
b« kent sharn hv continuing our
education not only for the success
it nnens the door to, but for the
satisfaction it gives us in any work
we do.
Dr. A. H. Lowe tells us “The de
sire to know is man’s insatiable
appetite. Man will not be satisfied
until he reaches far beyond his
present knowledge. The universe is
still unconouered. We have hardly
touched the fringe with our under
standing. But whatever knowledge
we do possess stems from this un
quenchable thirts".—Selected.
Bars in the Capitol
Letter to Editor
Butler Georgia
June 4, 1962
A new reception room in the
new expanded east front of the
capitol in Washington has been
“garnished” with two bars for the
sale of alcoholic beverages. It has
c a used considerable disturbance
among congressmen, and there is
a strong sentiment against the in
novation, so much so that Senator
Wayne Morse is leading an effort to
wipe out the sale of intoxicants in
the capitol building and rid it of
the two bars. Senator Morse is urg
ing senators and House members to
join in the effort and seeks also the
aid of the home folks with their
representatives or Senators. Geor
gia’s senators will surely join in
the efforts as should the senators
of all Southern States. Senator
Morse says Washington already
leads the nation in per capita sale
of alcoholic beverages, and doesn’t
need these two places in the na
tion’s capital. — Elberton Star.
Is anyone planning to celebrate
the income tax law’s 50th birthday
next February. In 1913, tax on a
$4,000 income was a penny.
Uncle Ez sez: “I predict that the
popular “coffee break" is but a
passing fad and that its days are
numbered. Already some emDloyes
are discovering that so much cof
fee keeps them awake all day.”

|Dear Charles:
I was delighted to read in several
' newspapers that you have endorsed
Marvin Griffin for Governor,
j Since Carl Sanders has allowed
the “Big City Political Machines” to
use him as a sword to stab our
igood friend, Garland Byrd, thru the
i back so deep it touched his heart,
it should not be too hard for the
people of Talor County to deiede
how to vote. Yes, Garland had a
heart attack, but the thing that
hurts his heart most today is the
| fact that he was betrayed by the
'one he considered a good friend.
Charles, there is one thing we
should all r emember, if he will
iturn his back on Garland, he will
I certainly turn his back on the good
I people of Georgia.
| I am building a flood control
dam in Cherokee County, Alabama
land I have observed the Governor’s
race here very closely. The issues
were about the same as theyw ere
in Georgia, which are States Rights
and Segregation vs. political ma
chines and integration. Geo. C. Wal
lace, the States Rights Candidate
woti over Ryan deGraffenried, who
was a stoogie similar to Carl San
ders for the big city political ma
chine, NAACP, integration and all
the dirty things that mar the hap
piness of the people. So I believe
the people of Georgia will follow
their Sister State of Alabama and
vote for a man who will be a Gov
ernor to all the people of Georgia,
and not one that will be tied to the
apron strings of just a few.
If Martin Luther King, Ralph Mc
Gill, Ivan Allen, Jr., Ex-Mayor
Hartsfield, NAACP, and the other
agents of the big city political ma
chines are going to vote for Stoogie
Sanders, then I will work and vote
for Marvin Griffin, come fodder
pulling time.
Sincerely yours,
JACK PEED.
