Mrs. Clyde Walker The family of Clyde Walker The family of Mrs. Clyde Walker BUDDY’S BYLINES | JAF4ES L. DUNN if* f Tms is the last edition of oui paper oeiore the polls open on September 12 to elect a new governor of Georgia. I think it only appropriate for us to pause a few minutes at this time and think of thie big decisions that we must make on Election Day. These decisions are utlmately important and the outcome of them wiil determine if Georgia will go forward in the next four years. First, and most important, will we use the privilege that has been granted to us as Americans to vote? Every vote counts on this election. The winners will be determined by popular vote, not unit vote. Your one vote may decide who is the next governor of Georgia. Second, will you mark your ballot with honesty and sincerity to yourself and to your state? Will you remember the plat form of the candidates, and the facts presented to you in the past months? After choosing your candidates, mark your ballot with pride and dignity and not shame. If there Is doubt in your mind today, study up on all candidates between now and Election Day. Pick the candidates that you believe will represent you best in the future. Rember, the winning candidates will be state officials for all of Georgia, not a minority or majority but all Georgians. We that lose our votes must not feel defeated, but rather than that, we must fell we are ready to fight with the winning candidates in keeping the state of Georgia clean, honest, and decent. Georgia’s future lies is the hands of all Georgians on Sep tember 12. Won’t you cast your vote for a better Georgia on that day. Your vote may determine if Georgia goes aheadl We the friends of SENATOR HERMAN TALMADGE in Taylor County deeply resent the remarks and ac cusations that have been made by former Governor Marvin Griffin. Marvin Griffin has seen fit to try to cast the guilty cloak that he must bear for the cor ruption, thievery and deceit that was so prevailing in his administration onto the shoulders of our good friend HERMAN TALMADGE. We all know that 'Herman's administration as Govern nor was one of the most progressive and honest our State has ever kno'wn* No amount of Griffin lies can hide what took plqce during the "Grafting Years."

The trend started with the late beloved President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who looked upon Warm Springs as his second home. And then came former President Dwight D. Eisenhow er, who frequented the Augusta National Golf Course and who hunted on a South Georgia plantation. The Little White House at Warm Springs is one of Geor gia’s many tourist attractions. The four-times President lived in mansions but built a modest white frame house on Pine Mountain. He retreated to this place when he needed to get away from the pressure of the role he played in shaping the history of this nation and the world. Retained much as it was when the President died there April 12, 1945, the Little White House holds the personality FDR gave it. A lone wheel chair serves as a grim reminder of his affliction from Polio. Numer ous ship models show his great love of the sea. The chain for his dog, Fala, and a riding quirt still hang in a closet. Mementos, cherished more be cause of the givers than the workmanship, adorn the walls. Some were produced by school children. There are no guided tours through the Little White House but visitors are always wel come. The Little White House, so weil loved by the country’s 32 nd President, is just one of Georgia’s many top notch tourist attractions being pro moted internationally by the Tourist Division of the Georgia Department of Commerce.

ZACK CRAVEY'S RECORD I No Georgia insurance company has failed during Cra- vey's administration. When an insurance company • fails, the policy-holders lose money and their insur ance protection. Over 450 insurance companies have failed in other states resulting in tragic Nnancial loss to the citizens of those states. Not one Georgia in surance company has failed during Cravey's admin istration. 2 Georgia citizens today pay 30% less for insurance than they did before Cravey was first elected. He ^ has consistently sought lower Insurance rates and in the past two years has successfully opposed high er rates in the courts of Georgia. 3 Zack Cravey furnished the leadership in investing over $44,000,000 of Georgia Pension Funds to bring ^ dozens of new plants and industries to Georgia pro viding thousands of new jobs for Georgia citizens. Each of those loans is safe and secure and not. one dime has been losf in such investments. 4 Zack Cravey serves on the Retirement Board of the Peace Officers, Firemen and State Employees of 0 Georgia. He believes that through the prudent invest-: ment of these fund* Georgia can and will pay more dollars to those retired or anticipating retirement. 5 Zack Cravey sponsored the Georgia Safety Fire Law and has been effectively enforcing this law so that • not one Georgia school child has been lost in a school fire during his administration. 6 Zack Cravey organized the Georgia Junior Fire Mar shal program, training over 69,000 young people of 0 Georgia to protect themselves and their families from the hazards of fire.
