Butler Post 124
Auxiliary Unit
Butler Unit 124 of the Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary met at the
home of Mrs. W, H. Mott of But
ler on Friday, February 5, with
Mrs. J. J. Bone as co-hostess.
Guest speaker was W. H.
Mott, whose subject was Ameri
canism. He contrasted the dif
ference on patriotism as taught
by our forebears and the un-
american activities being taught
and practiced today.
Mr. Mott stated, "The USA
was founded by men and women
of courage willing to pay any
price for freedom to serve God
according to the dictates of their
conscience with freedom to es
tablish their own just laws."
Their goal was to establish a
society in which truth and right
eousness prevailed; an environ
ment in which they could bring
up their children in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord. To
do this they established laws
embracing the principle of
Christ’s Code of Right and
Wrong which was promoted in
the home, school, church and
government; God seeing their
yearning to glorify Him, joined
with them with multiplied bless
ing. Thus the great U. S. was
established but let us remember
that great empires were built
before but crumbled and fell
when sin replaced Godliness.
Therefore let us again honor
God as our supreme ruler yield
ing to his word: "If my people
which are called by my Name
shall humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways then will
I hear from Heaven and forgive
their sins and will heal their
land.” UChronicles 7;14.
True Americanism requires
this.
Governor Sanders
Wins Golden Key
Georgia’s Gov. Carl E. San
ders has won the 1965 Golden
Key Award for his outstanding
record of promotion of educa

The Golden Key, which will

organizations seek to point out
dramatically the role of the
teacher in American life as a
means of interesting young peo
ple in teaching as a career.
The Award has been made to
a prominent American and a
teacher selected by the recip
ient every year since 1956.
In addition to the symbolic
Golden Key, a check for $1,000
will also be presented to "Miss

“It's slim pickings for me
since the folks switched
to flameless electric heat!”
Even the vacuum cleaner leads a clean, up
standing life when electric heating arrives
in your home. Many folks say tracked-in
dirt is about all that’s left to concern you.
Draperies, furniture, walls stay clean and
new-looking. You redecorate less often.
Electric heat is economical, too. A special
low rate is available to total-electric resi
dential customers. And budget billing lets
you pay the same amount every month.
There are many types of electric heating
systems available today. One should be just
right for your home.
Here’s heating that’s efficient, economical,
with no cold drafts or hot blasts. And you’ll
find no fuel grime or dust, either. Advantages
not to be sneezed at.
GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
think
OUR FOREFATHERS DID. And from their
dreams grew the strongest, most prosperous
country the world has ever known. One big
reason for this was railroad transportation
— vital then, as now, to America’s growth,
economy and defense.
Now for the big thought! Today, American
consumers are being cheated out of several
billion dollars annually by artificially high
freight rates. Rates kept high by regulation
which kills off real competition. Congress can
let consumers keep this now-wasted money in
their pockets — available for constructive
spending. How? By passing legislation re
peatedly recommended to Congress, that true
competition be substituted for present unnec
essary regulation of reductions in freight
rates on agricultural and bulk commodities.
This also will improve the competitiveness of
American products against foreign products,
at home and abroad.
It’s a big thought, all right-as big as all of
America’s consumers. The lawmakers of our
country should have the foresight and cour
age to correct this sorry situation.
