small daughter of Jon and syrie
Amberley, who live in the desert
home of Piers Amberley, Jon’s
brother. Syrie has shown jeolousy
when Clemency associated with
Piers and Clemency has been told
to remain in her own part of the
house. At a gathering of Syrie's
friends one afternoon, the charm
img Syrie and her small daughter
make an attractive picture. But
Piers’ eyes are not on them, but

¥ was not until she had found
herself abruptly catapulted out
of £idi Barata, that Clemency rea
limed how completaly, during
abwost a month’s residence, she
had grown into her surroundings.
Whatever drawbacks it might have
from the point of view of compan
ionship, the self-supporting little
colony of the oasis gave her a
strengely sheltered feeling. When
she “ound herself standing on the
iep: of the hotel at Biskra; watch
ng the car which was carrying

nere was a day’s freedom be
(. her. Syrie, who had brought
(~ meney to Biskra, had gone on
‘u Algiers to visit friends, and
Y¢ aency was on her own for the
fay.
She was standing watching the
peop'e when a tall, bronzed young
man in a light gray suit with a
rather broad-brimmed hat tilted
ower his eyes, caught sight of her,
amd paused to stare unnoticed at
what instantly appeared to him the
most attractive girl he had seen
{for many a long day.
Clemency walked away, and
after a very slight hesitation the
tall stranger walked in the same
direction,
A few minutes later Clemency
peused again drawing a quick
breath of delighted ugredation.‘

To the Voters of Clarke County
"~ When | qualified to seek the Representative’s place in
the June 28th primary, I stated then after the sickness
in my home had cleared sufficient | would make a state
ment as far as [ could at the time.
But since my wife and daughter Thelma are back from
the hospital and are improving steadily it now becomes
time for me to make this statement.
There is no use discussing sales tax for the financing
of the Minimum Foundation until you know who would
be your Governor.
Our present Governor, Mr. Talmadge, seems to rely
upon the referendum held a year ago on the sales tax
issue; Mr. Baker advocates a three per cent sales tax;
Mr. Thompson a two per cent sales tax, and since | have
been around the General Assembly for twenty or twenty
five years with particular interest for the University of
Georgia, for without the University in Athens it would
be disagtrous for all the people in Clarke County.
There was not many times in the years that have
passed that a Governor’s veto had been overridden, and
it would be almost impossible to override the Governor
in 1951, but should the sales tax fail there are many
ways to have the necessary moneys to carry on the
State’s obligations that my many years experience there
I have learned.
I have in mind that which would produce the neces
sary money without additional tax provided sales tax
fails, and it would be guicker and better for all the peo
ple of the State and which I do not wish now to agitate
prior to the beginning of the session in 1951,
I am for the old age people, the disabled, the blind,
and helpless children to the full amount provided by the
Congress of the United States; the State pays a very
small amount and County less, and other States are get
ting the money due our people named above.
I am for improved health legislation. I am for the best
roads we can have, where all of the people can benefit
by them, especially roads that could be travelled by our
people from farm to market.
I am for an adequate school teachers’ salary and ade
quate retirement fund, properly administered without so
much being spent for overhead expenses. In fact, with
my years’ experience around the General Assembly
there are many things well known to me that would take
many sessions to know by one without experience. .. ..
. .1 am well known personally throughout the State and
by many former members of the General Assembly,
many of whom will be members of the 1951 session.
Now, ir Clarke County wants representation get behind
your candidate, have faith in him, trust his ability to
represent you when the occasion arises.
Personal legislation or for small groups is not worth
your time, and should not be considered in casting your
vote, as one of the three people who said to me that my
opponent had agteed to do SOMETHING FOR THEM,
I told him it must not be so important, if they were will
ing to wait until 1953 or longer, for | would be there in
1951 and it may be well if it was for the benefit of all the
Clarke County people for him to discuss with me now.
5 In conclusion may I further say that I would appre
ciate llom' interest, co-operation, and support, and better
still if you have anything that will benefit the people 1
‘would deem it a priviledge for you to talk with me.
I am determined if elected ton:ment the people in
¥\n{ that you would approve, and if this is done which
that m:'m ha m:e in 1»&'“" Ry -
it you ve no e ng me as your -
‘resentative. -
Respectfully yours,
JOHN D. ELLIOTT
}“lfiflt& for Representative, Clarke County, Georgia.
which presented as much color to
her fascinated gaze as even her
love of it needed.
Over the green balconies of the
white houses gaily-hued draperies
hung, and behind them women in
garments of blue and emerald, of
rose and purple and scarlet—the
colors very often mingled in one
costume-—their dark heads bound
with equally brilliant silken scarfs,
and bands of sequins—sat or re
clined, or bent down to exdun%e
laughing sallies with the whit
robed men who passed or paused.
Unveiled women, with painted
faces and eyes heavy with kohl:
bold challenging eyes and teeth
that flashed like the jewels they
wore so plentifully.
Clemency was still watching this
strange musical comedy scene
when a voice spoke beside her:
“Excuse me butting in, but I
shouldn't go down there—"
She turned quickly, and found
herself staring up into the good
looking, rather embarrassed face
of the speaker.

The young man in the gray suit
swept off his hat. “Please for
give me.” he apologized. “I as
sure you I'm not trying to be fresh
but—you're a stranger around
here, I guess, and—there are some
parts of the town a lady shouldn’t
explore—anyway, not alone.”
“And not always in company, I
gather.” said Clemency coolly.
“Thank you, But as a matter of
fact 1 wasn’t going to explore.” If
she was inexperienced she had
read widely, and she guessed that
this was the street of the dancing
girls, though it had not occurred
to her at once. Then: “Please don’t
stand in this sun without a hat,”
he begged quickly. “It’s getting
too hot to be out in it at all. I am
going back to the hotel now.”
His concern for her had been
obviously so genuine that she felt
it would have been absurd to be
stand-offish.
“And thank you very much,”

she said with a friendly smile.
“Thank you,” he stressed the
pronoun, and then a hint of mis
chief in those very pleasant hazel
eyes: “Particularly for not freez
ing me with a well-bred British
stare.”
She laughed outright. “Really!”
“Well,” as she turned to retrace
her way he fell into step beside
her, “you are British, arn’t you?”
“l am. And your're Canadian?”
“Scotch Canadian. Name of
Sanderson. I'm on my way back
to the Continental, to—to pick
up my mother and sister.”
“Sanderson” Clemency ex
claimed. “I believe I met your
mother and sister a little while
ago. At Colonel Amberley’s house
—Red Aloes.”

“Sure you did. I was unfortu

He had not thouggt it unfortunate
at the time, not even when his
sister went back and told him he
had missed meeting an extremely
pretty girl.
Clemency said: “I am Clemency
Norton—Barba’s governess.”
“Glad to meet you, Miss Nor
ton.” He stopped to shake hands.
“Now we are properly introduced.”
“And the British conventions
are duly satisfied,” said Clemency
Contest Won By
University High
School Student
. “Privileges and Responsibilities
of American Citizenship” is the
title of the essay which earned
first prize for Billie June Craw
ford in the Americanism essay
contest at University High School.
Miss Crawford received a beau
tiful wrist watch from the Jay
' Bush Lodge, B'nai B'’rith, for her
prize-winning essay in ceremonies
at the school Friday.
The text of Billie June’s compo
sition is printed today:
PRIVILEGES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF |
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
Alexander Hamilton said: “The
secret rights of mankind are not
rummaged for among old parch
ments of musty records.”
The privileges that are ours and
the responsibilities that we bear
are well recompensed in the right
to call ourselves American citi
zens.
Over the years our nation has
cooperated to build up free insti
; tutions and to make them work
for human welfare. Early in the
year of 1619 Virginia, yet an in
fant colony, gave us our first
representative assembly. We later
watched this develop into a move
ment of legislation, by the people,
until it resulted in the Continental
Congress, which met in historic
Carpenter’s Hall at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Here was gathered
the intelligentsia of Amerieca,
where on June 28, 1776, the reso
lution for independance was adopt
ed. It was in this same hall that
Thomas Jefferson read his draft
of the Declaration of Independence
on July 4th, 1776. Later we find
the scene changing and in this hall
is drawn up the greatest document
ever to be struck off by human
hands—THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
Nestled in the cities of America
is a treasure of American liberties.
Some are visited each year as
shrines, others are hidden in ruins.
In the city of Boston, which is
called the cradle of liberty, we al
most feel the eyes of those minute
men, hear the prancing of Paul
Revere’s horse, see the pilgrims as
they land at Plyrhouth, the tea
that was dumped into the harbor,
the cplonial sons in the fields.
Such things as these help to make
up for us a common heritage.
Land of Liberty
In this land where freedom of
speech, press, religion, thought,
and right to assemble is our priv
ilege, we should realize that our
land is one of liberty, that freedom
is ours as long as it doés not inter
fere with rights of others. We en
joy a democratic government, one

demurely. Otherwise she supposed
this would have been—even if a
very nice one—an undoubted
pick-up! Something quite defi
nitely not in her line; though she
}tnlfd no intention of explaining
at.
“You've come over with some of
the Red Aloes people, I suppose?”
he asked.
“No I'm alone. Mrs. Jon Am
berley was on her way to Algiers,
she dropped me and they are send
ing a car to collect me later.”
That was a let-out anyway! If
there was one person he detested
it was Syrie Amberley.
Her new acquaintance steered
Clemency back to the hotel, and
by the time they got there she had
learned that his father had owned
a lot of property in Algeria, and
that he and his mother and sister
had come over to settle things up.
His mother was “nuts” on this
part of the world, but he preferred
+is natiive heath. And, anyway,
he had quite enough of Africa
during the War. It would have
been impossible not to like this
large young man; there was some
thing about him which made her

built by and for the people. Our
government is one of checks and
balances, so flexibly constructed
that it has existed with only twen
ty-one changes since the year of
1789, when it was adopted. We
must recall, too, that ten of our
amendments were added at the!
time of its adoption. |
The voice that so loudly pro
claimed freedom was Patrick Hen
ry and today we heaer Americans
everywhere reciting his theme,
“l know not what course others
may take, but as for me give me
liberty or give me death.”
As citizens of the United States
we are faced with the responsibili~
ties of local, national, and world
citizenship. We have not suddenly
‘become members of our commun
ities, but have for a long time felt
responsibilities in the home and
in school communities. You be

age, whereby, it is your duty to
cast your vote in order to shape
the policies of your community,
‘state, and nation.
Your next responsibility is be
ing a neighbor. The distance be
tween you and your neighbor does
not matter, but what kind of a
neighbor you are is the thing that
counts, We should be neighbors
who are friendly, tolerant, and
cooperative. The real measure of
a neighbor is expressed by Rud
yard Kipling:
" “There is neither East nor West,
border nor bread nor birth,
“When two strong men stand
face to face, though they come
from the ends of the earth.”
Independent, Fearless
As a citizen, you must.be inde
pendent and fearless in your think
ing. Don’t let others influence you
and don’t be afraid of what they
will think,
We must be capable of adjust
ing ourselves to an evergrowing
world. Along with assuming and
developing capacities we must plan
intelligently for the future.
We are individuals, we have
rights of life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness, the right to gov
ern, the right to live and let live.
We must be law abiding citizens.
We must support our government,’
with layolty and with money, We
must shun no duty our government
gives us. We must seek to serve
it in whatever capacity we are
called on for.
As I see America today, we are
at the crossroads: We have the
opportunity to prove our citizen
ship and to show what our heri
tage means to us. We must choose
the path of integrity. We must be
loyal Americans.
Let is discard all things that
might lead to separate us and stay
united as one people throughout
the land and remember: “Thy
freedom is my freedom as is my
freedom thine.”
