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. Horeb Awards SS Attendance Pins The Horeb Baptist Sunday School awarded pins on Sun day for perfect attendance. Rev. Herschel Whitley presented a pin to Ben Guined for atten dance at Sunday School for four years without missing a Sunday. Sandra and James Guin ed received pins for three years perfect attendance.

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. Sponsored by Edwards’ Funeral Home Butler, Ga.
