FOR STATE SENATE
I hereby announce my candi
dacy for the State Senate from
the 22id. District in the State
Primary to be held on Sept. 12th.,
subject to the rules and regula
tions of the State and Butts
County Democratic Executive
Committee.
My record of four years as
Butts County Representative in
the Georgia General Assembly
and for six or eight years as a
member of the Jackson City
Council is open to everyone.
Nearly all of my life to date has
been lived in Butts County. So,
can a leopard change its spots?
In the past I have believed, and
still believe, in the practice of
progress and economy in all areas
of governmental and public af
fairs.
I believe that for social pro
gress it must be evidenced in all
areas of our community life;
Schools and all Youth Activities,
Hospitals, Roads, Public Parks,
Agriculture, Civic and Religious
endeavors. For the success of any
and all of these areas there must
be sincerity of purpose and in
tegrity in the pursuit of same.
I have never been too strong
for the rubber stamp individual
in any place of responsibility or
leadership. I still maintain that
principle in life.
As Representative from Butts
County it was my privilege and
pleasure to serve, among others,
on the Committee on Education.
If elected, I hope to have the
same privilege in the Senate.
If I am elected to this high of
fice I can only promise to do my
best for the people of this dis
trict according to the principles
above noted.
If you can support my candi
dacy and vote for me on Sept.
12th, I will appreciate it very
much and if elected, I will strive
to serve the people I represent
to the best of my ability.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Home Decorator
Class Drew EMC
Members May 16
A large representation of co-op
members and visitors attended
the annual spring training meet
ing of The Central Georgia Elec
tric Membership Corporation on
May 16, beginning at 10:30 a. m.,
under the direction of Mrs. Eliz
abeth H. Watkins, educational
director. Held at the Presbyterian
Church in Jackson, the theme was
“How to Decorate and Light
Your Home,” with two guest
speakers, William B. Malone, in
terior decorator of Monticello,
and David Franco, home lighting
specialist with the Atlanta Light
ing Fixture Company. During the
meeting color slides were shown,
bringing out the importance of
overall planning, color combina
tions and effect of lighting.
Mr. Malone, a graduate of the
University of Georgia in interior
decorating and a former deco
rator at Rich’s, Inc. in Atlanta,
the first speaker, emphasized the
importance of careful planning.
“If you combine the best of yes
terday with the best of today,
you can turn your home into a
kingdom,” he said. Of course,
color preferences enter in and
whether a home is being newly
built or remodeled. Decorating,
including lighting, adds person
ality to the home, he emphasized.
“Select furniture that will be
good for years to come, he cau
tioned, with the placement of
pieces next in importance.
Whether your furniture is
Modern, Early American, Con
temporary or Traditional, remem
ber that color is most decorative,
he said. Fabrics should be sleeted
first, then colors can be matched
when mixing the paint, according
to Mr. Malone.
He drew exclamations from his
audience as he displayed sample
combinations of wall paper, car
peting, upholstery material and
the like. Everything should be
tested under artificial light to
check for true colors under all
situations, he pointed out.
Happy living was Mr. Franco’s
approach to the theme of the day.
"Comfortable seeing” and safety
are paramount, he said, and the
overall effect should be inviting.
He displayed the new outdoor
post lamp—most decorative and
with diffused lighting to elimi
nate the glare of the commonly
used floodlights. Telling of other
innovations, he showed the new
dimmer type fluorescent, reces
sed lighting and many other of
the latest type fixtures on the
market.
According to Mr. Franco, light
ing should be planned before
