)
4 Sheriff In The March 16 Vote!
That is a fair question.
b It is a question that deserves a fair answer.
The best way to get a fair answer is to look at the &
f} record; to see what a candidate promised in the |
pa;t; and then weigh his promises against his rec- ‘
# ord.
& So, let’s look at the record. ‘
When I asked your support four years ago in my ‘
campaign for Sheriff, I told you I would work for
B certain things.
: I told you I would work to secure more men on
! the county law enforcement force in order to pro
vide better protection to the rural areas, and all §
3 other areas of the county. :
When I went into office after you elected me,
@ there was one county policeman and myself.
% Today there are six county policemen, one deputy §&
and myself. .
I said I would work to increase the number of
county patrol cars. When | assumed office there
was one county patrol car.
Today there are two cars, not including my own
B personal car, which is also used.
I promised I would work tc effect a two, or three
way radio communication with the City Police De
‘ partment, and through it, with the State Patrol. :
Today, both county cars are equipped with three
‘ way radio communication, as is my personal car, so
that I can get to the scene of a serious accident or
crime in the least possible time. :
po I promised you I would work for a Sheriff’s office
B on a 24-hour-per-day basis to provide around-the-
B clock law enforcement.
Today the Sheriff’s office operates on a 24-hour
per-day basis.
: I promised you I would give every effort to place
' the county officers in distinctive unitorm in order
that citigens, and transients would know when they
§ were being halted by bona fide officers, and not
thugs or hold-up men posing as officers. ;
: Today the county officers are dressed in such dis- B
tinctive uniforms and a person whose car may be
halted, will know in an instant whether or not those &
stopping him are bona fide officers.
I promised you I would clean up the jail and im
-8 prove this condition until it would conform to Fed
eral Regulations as a depository for United States
Prisoners.
3 Today the County Jail is on the list approved by
B the United States Government for housing Federal
prisoners. :
I promised you that juvenile prisoners would be
} segregated from hardened criminals when placed
£ in our jail.
Today juveniles are segregated from all other
prisoners.
& I promised you that the women’s quarters of the
jail would be made more attractive and liveable.
That, too, has been accomplished. 5
i I promised you the kitchen facilities wpuld be
8 improved. Until this could be accomplished I
B 8 brought in meals from restaurants at a personal cost §
(¥ to myself. :
But once more that has been accomplished. o
& I promised you that if you elezt>d me, I would §
try to reduce the crime rate in Clarke County.
: Law enforcement agencies (not the Sherlff’s.of- e
{ fice) give Clarke County one of the lowest crime M
Bl rates in the South; and one of the highest in the ;
B South in the matter of law enforcement, crime pre- I 8
B vention and crime detection.
Such activity as I have mentioned algove, natu- |
rally has made some people mad. That is regretta- [
B ble, but inevitable. A do-nothing attitude probably
B would have suited these people, but it would not B 8
have been carrying out promises made to those who
B put their confidence in me. ;
| I have listed above what I promised and I have
listed also what has been accomplished, with the I
B cooperation of the Board of County Commissioners g
& and the people. |
It is on this basis that I ask your vote and support
for an endorsement term as Sheriff of Clarke
County in the Democratic Primary to be held on
March 26. . z :
| I alsc wish to take this opportunity of expressing
B my deepest appreciation to the citizens of Clarke §
County for their cooperation during the past three
years which has mage it possible for me to attain
the results I have discussed in this article. =
Sincerely,
, H. T. (Tommy) Huft
Alden Asks Check
On Tomato Plans
ATLANTA, March 23—(AP)—
Georgia Entomologist C. H, Alden
this week asked all farmers im
porting tomato plants from Florida
to have them checked by a state
inspector for late blight before
setting them out.
The entomologist said inspectors
have found blight on certified
plants from Florida and all diseas
ed shipments detected have been
confiscated, But, he added, the
inspectors can’t see all the plants
uniess notified by the growers,
He announced that inspection
can be arranged by contracting
chief inspector, Georgia Depart
ment of entomology, Tifton.
Alden noted that late blight has
caused serious damage in the past
and ruined the green wrap tomato
crop in 1946.
