WILL THE REAL SDS STAND UP?
At one point in the bickering and name-call
ing which split the SDS at its June (1969)
convention in Chicago, a Black Panther shouted
over the loudspeaker that the Panthers were
the “vanguard of the revolution because of the
blood they had spilled.”
Mike Klonsky, the previous National Secre,-
tary who led a walk-out of about 500 delegates,
deserting the more militant Progressive Labor
(Maoist) faction, is the son of a former official
of the Communist Party-USA.
Klonsky told the SDS meeting in Austin,
Texas, March 30 (1969):
“Our primary task is to build a Marxist-
Leninist revolutionary movement.”
Klonsky’s faction formed the Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYM), which calls itself
“the real SDS.” Likewise, the Progressive La
bor faction insists it is “the real SDS.” 1
A LOOK AT THE ENEMY
Chattanooga (Tenn.) News-Free Press
Those who tell us we can do business with Communists
should give thanks they have not had to do business with them
as Navy Lt. Robert F. Frishman, 28, and Postal Clerk 3C
Douglas B. Hegdahl, 22. and many other Americans have had
to do.
These two are back from Communist prisons of the North
Vietnamese. They said their fellow prisoners agreed before
their release that they should tell the true story so the world
would know.
The true story includes Red torture, beatings, pulled finger
nails, solitary confinement, near starvation diet, hotbox treat
ment, exposure to cold, being hung from the ceiling, being
burned and a variety of other vicious indignities.
This is the enemy. Would you like to do business with him?
"Why Risk Heart Attack?”
There are six ways to cut
your chances of having a heart
attack. Described in a new
booklet, "Why Risk Heart At
tack", each of the six different
conditions or habits of living
"increases the chances of a
heart attack". A combination
of the risk factors further in
creases the degree of risk.
The Georgia Heart Associa
tion believes, "There is enough
evidence to suggest that the liv
ing habits of millions of Ameri
cans are endangering their hearts
at a comparatively early age.
These habits usually begin in
childhood, with living patterns
learned from parents '. These
living patterns refer to over
indulgence in foods, eating too
much fatty- food, getting little
exercise and starting to smoke
at an early age. The booklet
continues, "While there is no
ironclad proof that reducing the
YOUR best cushion, in cate of fire or theft,
is sound insurance with

known risks will prevent heart
attacks, most of the scientific
evidence today points that way."
The six risk factors are:
1. Overweight. "Middle-aged
men who are 30 percent or more
overweight have twice the risk of
a heart attack compared with the
middle-aged men of normal
weight".
2. High blood pressure. Most
cases can now be controlled.
3. Little physical activity.
Men who get regular amounts of
exercise have less risk of heart
attack than do men who live
sedentary lives, some studies
show.
4. High Levels of blood fats.
"There is substantial evidence
that dietary changes will help to
prevent heart attacks or strokes' ’
die booklet says. Cholesterol or
other fatty substances in die
blood can form deposits along
the inner walls of arteries. Chan-
Serving my
Community thru
a foster child!
Many people ask, “How can I
serve my community? What can
Ido T ’ If you have a happy
home, and a heart big enough
to share with a child, you may
find the answer to your questions!
Your home may be just the one,
and the only one, that could suc
cessfully meet the needs of some
child, or children, for whom
Mrs. Marie Wilkerson, Director,
and Mrs. Priscilla Perkins,
Childwelfare Worker, Early
County Department of Family
and Children Services, have been
called upon to make a plan.
Did you know that there are
some 3000 Georgia children in
hundreds of foster homes scat
tered throughout our State? -
that most of these are normal,
average children who have been
neglected, deserted, mistreated,
or left homeless because of the
serious illness or death of a
parent ? Did you know that there
are many others waiting in insti
tutions, or in over-crowded;
boarding homes, until more
people, like you perhaps, come
forward with an offer to share
your home ?
The very meaning of the word
"foster’’ is “to nourish, to
cherish, to encourage ”, and this
is what our foster parents do
when they help a child through
the difficult period of separa
tion from his own parents- Is
your family a "helping family” ?
If you feel that a child could
find “nourishment, love, and en
couragement” in your home, then
it is possible that in the role
of a foster parent you can best
serve your community.
To participate in the Agency’s
foster care program a home must
meet certain basic requirements
of health and sanitation. Avail
able space for sleeping, number
of children already in the home,
and the finances of the foster
family are also considered. Most
important of all, foster parents
must love children and have the
patience to work with them-
Agency payments cover the
child's board, medical, and
clothing needs. There would
never be enough money to pay
for loving a child as your own,
and caring for it 24 hours a day.
Those generous Georgians who
are foster parents find their
greatest satisfaction In knowing
that they have given a child
"a good start’ or “his first
experience in a happy, normal
home.” Others have thrilled to
“a baby's first smile”, or a
tiny voice saying, "1 love you”,
or to the teenager asking if
he could call them “Mom and
Dad.”
The Early County Department
of Family and Children Services
urgently needs both white and
Negro foster homes for children
and will welcome your Inquiries.
Please call 723-4 330 for an ap
pointment to discuss your in
terest and learn more about the
Agency’s foster home program.

Academy cadets on dress parade

of these fats in die blood.
5. Heavy cigarette smoking.
Heavy smokers suffer heart at
tacks ' 'two to three times higher
than non-smokers, pipe and cigar
smokers and former cigarette
smokers."
6. Diabetes. This condition
can be associated with a rise
in cholesterol and arterial di
sease, but it can generally "be
detected early and brought under
control".
The booklet also stresses the
advisability of having regular
medical examinations-
The Georgia Heart Associa
tion is presently mounting an edu
cational program, based on
scientific research, on preven
tive aspects of heart disease
which is the leading cause of
death in the United States.

Collectors of Whiskey bottles
are well aware of these words
“Federal law prohibits sale or
re-use of this bottle.” At the
time of repeal of prohibition in
1933 the evils characteristic of
the pre prohibition era were well
remembered and fresh in the
blinds of Legislators, such an
tics as a saloon putting cheap
whiskey in a bottle with a su
perior brand name or even boot
leggers and moonshiners paying
janitors of apartment buildings
for empty liquor bottles. As a
result almost every conceivable
safeguard or device which would
avoid recurrence of thsoe prac
tices was included in Federal
Legislation. The new Legisla
tion restricted the sale of dis
tilled alcoholic beverages at the
retail level to glass containers
of one gallon capacity or less.
The law provided that liquor
containers bear the phrase men

Regulations were amended to
eliminate the requirement of the
Federal re-use clause since it is
no longer necessary. As present
day molds are replaced, liquor
ware bearing this phrase will
gradually disappear.
To end this chapter on whis
keys we might include part of an
advertisement appearing in a
“Vinegar Bitters Temperance
Book”. They listed the following
as the ingredients in whiskey.
“Ten gallons of Kerosene, three
pounds of potash, one ounce of
Strychrine, mixed with soft
water.” And then they said,
“The mystery is that people who
drink this do not drop dead.”
We must call attention to the
Gin bottles. For many years
Gin bottles had one characteris
tic - they were tapered square
bottles with short necks. The
The early free blown ones have
very crude finishes on the lip.
Some have blob seals. Two of
these are the Vandenberg and the
Avan Hoboken. Any Case Gin
is worth adding to your collec
tion. Two later types worth
collecting is the "Gordon dry
Gin” and the "J.A, Gilka.”
Another category worthy of
mention is the acid bottles, us
ually one gallon. The colors
are varied from aqua to pea
cock and ambers- This cate
gory could include the carboy
and Demijohn. They are us
ually 5 gallon containers. Many
of the Carboys have pontil marks
and whittle marks- Most of
these were covered with wick-
er. They are usually thin and
must be handled with care. They
are usually green - from black to
muted emerald.
The demijohn will range from
clear to aqua or light green.
There are some lovely straw
covered wine bottles. To ap
preciate the glass the straw must
be removed. Then they will
not sit up. I tied a cord a
round the necks of mine and hung
them on the wall.
We have found available some
half gallon and gallon size bot
tles covered with wicker. They
are green and aqua and full of
bubbles. These are usually mold
blown, consequently will vary in
thickness. They have to be
handled with care. I should
know, having broken one with a
very light tap.
While talking about these lar
ger bottles let me tell you this.
I was told by my Orlando friends
to use miric acid to clean them.
As you know this is the acid
used to clean brick. It cannot
be used on bottles that have been
buried long enough for the glass
to start to deterioate- These
wicker covered bottles are in
good shape, even without scrat
ches. This acid must be used
with care. Gloves are a must.
And avoid getting it on grass or
shrubbery.

Keep It Simple!
Tax reform may be one of
Capitol Hill’s biggest stories
of 1969. But it will hardly be
remembered as well as the
Mets’ World Series victory.
* * *
Tax reform is of great con
cern to millions. But, unfor
tunately, it’s as dry as yester
day’s toast. Even lowering
taxes —as hammered out by the
legislative process—loses most
of its popular appeal by the
time it’s finally enacted. Once
the lawmakers start complicat
ing the issues, the average cit
izen shrugs his shoulders in
bewilderment and asks simply:
“Will I pay more or less?”
* * «
Public opinion forced this
tax reform effort. The extra
surtax bite every payday, the
hardships of inflation, and dis
closures that many wealthy
escape taxation angered many
taxpayers. Congress, fearing a
taxpayers’ rebellion, had to act.
* * *
The representatives have
generated enough tax propo
sals, amendments and oratory
in printed form to fill a Capitol
Hill vestibule. But, except for
the most avid Congress-watch
ers, it’s just a long, complicated
and still unfinished story.
♦ * ♦
The nation's independent
business owners have plugged
for three simple changes, each
of which would achieve a
worthy goal. First, an end to
the surtax, which many busi
nessmen think has not retard
ed inflation, but rather provid
ed even more money for Cong
ress to spend.
t Second, they favor reducing
s the tax equitably through a
» simple increase in the personal
> and dependents’ exemptions
from S6OO to $1,200, or more.
This would provide tax relief
■ where it’s needed most, and up
■ date a “living allowance” which
. was passed in 1948.
,* * *
> A third change sought by
t businessmen would help small
> businesses expand in these
. difficult times. Called the
. “Flowback Allowance,” it
. would permit a businessman
i to deduct 20 per cent of the
: year’s profits which were re
invested. The profit pinch—re
sulting from high taxes and in
i flation—is leaving little if any
i profit for expansion
* * *
Adoption of higher exemp
tions and the business plow
. back incentive would be mean
i ingful reforms. Both are easily
understood. Instead, the patch
work changes being considered
> by Congress, which promise
. lower taxes over the next few
. years, may prove less equitable.
I* ♦ ♦
• In this first major revision
. of the income tax law since
I 1954, it was hoped that simpli
city would be a goal. But the
two Houses seem engaged in
; a contest to see how many new
I complications can be added to
i a law which runs some 400
L pages and is “explained” by
> thousands more.
♦ * ♦
If the poor, burdened tax
• payer could have his way, he’d
■ implore Congress "Please, just
make it simple.”
