M) AMERICAN NEWSPAPER REPRESENTATIVES>»c
Many decisions have been required durin; the past months. They
have been ultimately important to all Georgians. As I think of the
word "decision” at this time, my thoughts are of Garland Byrd,
our own personal friend. Mr. Byrd has been required to make
many big decisi .I \ rril 1 ar lship on him. Think
of maki i : il 1 ion Georgians.
It all started I ack it t . early part of the summer, 1002. Gar
land I yr w lx ovemorofGeor ia, the people of Georgia
wanted hit as t _ tr ver; r. \tter sufferii a severe heart at
tack doctors said "No** lot equestioi ofhir runnin for governor.
\\ hat i I S e forget the physical fitness of his
body and instead fulfill the dream's he had had since early child
hood, or e Iteed I ioct r’s plea to step down from the
ship? After days of dcliberati t< irre ider his ship.
Only . . : isi hi way. Should
he carry the I aimer for he - 0,00« people that sinned the "Draft
Byrd" petitions? After • areful consideration he chose to give the
people what they wanted. However, this decision only led to an
other. Ben W. I orison, Se, ret ary of State said there were not
enough valid signatures on the petitions to place Garland’s name
on the ballot in November. Byrd backers said October 1 was the
deadline for presentin petitions and by that date there were
enough signatures. However, no petitions were accepted after
Friday, September 21 by the Secretary of Slate. Therefore,
the decision was, should the courts decide when the deadline
for filing petitions ended? My. Byrdchose not carry it to court.
There were probably many reasons why Mr. Byrd made this
decision. Some we will never know. 1 lowever, probably the
greatest turning point for him in reaching his decision was the
Mississippi crisis and the reapportioning of the Georgia Senate
in Atlanta. Should I take time to begin a personal fight with the
courts on some small question when our state is vitally concerned
will) reapportioning our Senate, and when onr neighboring state
of Mississippi is confronted with one of the worse tragedies in
American history? Aren’t there sufficient fights going on without
me touching off another?
Yes, Mr. Byrd has made some big decisions to many Georgians,
lie lias been honest to the people of our state. We, as Georgians
will not lorget Garland 1 , Byrd easy. Frankly, I don’t believe
Georgians will forget him come 1966.
1 no, there will he many that will still remember him at the
polls on November 6. His name will not be on the ballot, but with a
mark through the name of Peter/ack Geer, and the handscribing of
Garland T . Byrd, you will have made a big decision, one that Mr.
Byrd did not have to make.

This I Believe
By Lauritz Melchior
Opera Star
It takes many small oppor
tunities, and friends who believe
in you, as well as your own
energy and will to build a ca
reer. But as an artist, my
first belie! must be in my self.
Talent in a person is a touch
of God’s finger: yet any artist
must work hard to grow up into
his art-going slowly-acquiring
all possible knowledge going
with it. Only then can you stay-
in your art for a long period
of years.
A singer must know his stage.
He is, shall I say, a painter
with tones for color. When I
paint an operatic picture, 1 use
a big brush with a lot of paint
and a lot of colors-loud and
brighi-to be looked at from a
distance. Now concert art is
another sort of painting. In
every song I must create for
the listener the spirit of the
music and its words, and this
piece of art is to be looked
at from a close distance, so I
have to work out the little de
tails musically as well as in
the feeling and meaning of the
words.
We all know what power there
is in music-it is able to pat
our heads and get our tears to
flow when we are in great
sorrow or pain, and it is able
to magnify our happiness and
joy. I think a better medicine
doesn’t exist in the world.
