sioners had not gone through
with the tax re-evaluation pro
gram, there would not have been
money to pay the teachers, bus
drivers or janitors to operate
the schools. It would have been
necessary to close the schools
in October.
Therefore, perhaps we in
Iaylor County should examine
our own tax program. The tax
millage has been cut in half in
every county surrounding us
when a tax equalization program
has been completed. Are we
paying too much tax for the value
we are receiving? May I urge
you as a citizen to study the tax
structure of our county and the
possibilities we have through a
better tax program and then to
contact your county officials to
ask that they do whatever is
needed to make sure that the
schools in Taylor County are not
closed.
Children's Home Day Observed On Sunday, Nov. 15
Children’s Home Day will be
observed in Georgia Baptist
churches on Sunday, November
15.
The Baptists are expected to
give at least $350,000 to help
support the Georgia Baptist
Convention’s child-care pro
gram at Hapeville, Baxley and
Meansville.
Special emphasis is placed
on giving to the Horne during
the Thanksgiving Season, Mr.
Warr said, because "our peo
ple want to give more than we
get through regular, usually
monthly, gifts from churches
and individuals.”
When the fiscal year ended in
June, Mr. Warr told the trustees
the annual report showed a total
of 675 children cared for, with
606 as a daily average; 99chil
dren admitted and 81 children
released.
A Higher Education Fund is
kept by the Home and young
persons who live on any one of
the campuses may attend any
colleges or universities they
might choose. Many of the
youths take advantage of voca
tional training.
ALL the Callaways thank you
Wednesday, November 11,
was Veterans Day. The Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary Unit 124
sold poppies to help veterans in
hospitals throughout the United
States and special programs
were planned by some organi
zations in the county. The News
chooses to salute our veterans
through poetry.
In Flanders Field
FLANDERS FIELD
In Flanders Field where poppies
blow
Between the corsses row on
row,
That mark our place, while in
the sky
The larks still bravely singing
fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns
below.
Short days ago, we lived, loved,
and were loved.
Felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
And now we lie in Flanders
Field.
Take up our quarrel with the
foe,
To you from failing hands we
throw
The torch be yours to hold it
high.
If you break faith with us who
died,
We shall not sleep, though pop
pies blow,
In Flanders Field.
America’s Reply
Rest Ye in peace Ye Flanders
dead,
The fight which ye so bravely
led.
We’ve taken up and we will
keep,
True faith with you who lie
asleep.
Fear not that you have died
for naught,
The torch you threw to us we
caught,
Ten million hands will hold it
high,
And freedom’s light will never
die.
We should honor our
veterans, not just one day a
year, but everyday, through our
personal actions.
Our nation has recently fin
ished what has been termed
“the dirtiest campaign in the
history of the United States."
President Lyndon B. Johnson
has been re-elected and whether
we were for or against him,
it is now time to lay aside our
prejudices and give our whole
hearted support to "our presi
dent.”
There is little that one in
dividual can do to combat com
munism. However, there is a
great deal that many American
individuals can do.
We must support and respect
the rights of others so that the
flame of freedom will not be
snuffed out. In this way it
can grow and eventually, we may
be able to carry it across the
seas to our enslaved neighbors.
At any rate, now is the time
for all Americans to uphold
freedom and justice to ensure
the peace that our veterans so
valiantly fought for.

importance of the press in to
day’s world through quotes from
various leaders such as this one
by Senator Herman Talmadege,
"Freedom of the press, guar
anteed by the First Amendment
to the Constitution, is the guar
antee of a free people’s right to
know, which is vital to the pres
ervation of our form of govern
ment and the well being of our
citizens.” She also said that
one of the first things taken over
by the Communists when control
of a country is gained is the
news media.
Yet, according to Mrs.
Griggs, newspapers are not ap
preciated. Businesses fail to
realize that advertising is a
necessity if the newspaper is to
stay in business and the people
do not realize that it is possible
to publish only the pages that
there is advertising to pay for
and news to fill.
After briefly summarizing
the steps and work that go into
a newspaper, Mrs. Griggs
named a few of the jobs avail
able in journalistic work, in
cluding, bookkeepers, photo
graphers, society writers, lino
type operators, operators of
justowriters and headliners,
press men, dark room workers,
make up people, editors, pub
lishers and reporters.
Following Mrs. Griggs’
speech, the members of the
club used the Phillips 66 meth
od to discuss ways in which
they could improve the school
paper, which is published by the
FBLA.
