Citizens School
Bus Service Is
Planned Again
The Citizens School Bus Ser
vice, Inc. is planning to offer
again this year transportation
within city environs to Jackson
Elementary and High schools.
However, a spokesman pointed
out, in order to maintain the ex
tremely low rates of 50 cents per
week which has been applicable
in the past, it will be necessary
to know the number of regular
riders who will use this mode (.f
transportation. The schedule de
pends on this information, the
spokesman said, in citing the need
for regular, year round riders to
maintain the service which has
proven so desirable in the past.
Parents who desire to register
their children for this transporta
tion are asked to please complete
the registration blank in the ad
in this issue and return to Mrs.
John Hunt, P. O. Box 157, Jack
son, Ga.

So far boll weevil infestation
has been relatively light, How
ever, recently there has been in
dications of build up of bollworms
which could be trouble until the
cotton opens. Where there is a
build up of bollworms 10 percent
DDT is probably the most effec
tive control. If there should be
need for control of bollweevils
on late cotton, DDT may be used
in combination with toxaphene,
methyl trithion or 2Si guthion
5 percent DDT, 2 Si percent
methyl parathion - 5 percent DDT,
or 10 percent sevin dust.

States Could Be
Banished Under
JFK Bill-Herman
ATLANTA,—(GPS) U. S. Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge, like many
other Americans throughout the
nation, is strenuously opposed to
President Kennedy’s latest move
to appease a minority group by
seeking additional legislation in
the area of so-called civil rights.
In fact, the Georgia junior
senator really teed off from the
Senate floor the other day on
one particular phase of the ad
ministration’s pending bill—Title
VI which would grant the Presi
dent power to withold federal
funds to areas where discrimina
tion allegedly is practiced.
“Never before in the history of
the United States,’’ declared Tal
madge, “indeed, not in the history
of any free and civilized people,
has such vicious legislation been
proposed as part of the admini
station’s so-called civil rights bill
which would enable the federal
government to excommunicate
sovereign state, to, in effect,
banish them from the Union.’’
That pretty well pinpointed the
dangers of the legislation pro
posed by the Kennedys (President
J. F. K. and his brother, Bobby,
the attorney general). But Sen.
Talmadge didn’t stop there. He
continued:
"Under this provision, the ex
ecutive branch of our government
would be give carte blanche au
thority to withhold federal funds
paid to states in grant-in-aid
programs or to cancel federal
financial participation in con
tracts, loans, insurance and guar
anties.
“Without any notices, without
any hearing, without a judicial
proceeding of any kind, and with
out any appeal or other safeguard
against abuse, entire states could
be starved out of the federal
treasury.
“By alleging discrimination in
connection with any federal aid
program, the executive would
have unrestraining control of the
expenditure of funds appropri
ated by the Congress for direct
and indirect assistance to the
states.
“No court test to determine
whether discrimination was act
ually being practiced would be
required. This proposal is so
broad, that whole states could be
punished for voting wrong, if dis
crimination were alleged as an
excuse.”
Charging that Title Six is aim
ed at the states of the South “in
a brazen attempt to legislate so
cial reform and to blackmail law
abiding citizens to go against that
which they believe to be in the
best interests of everyone,” Sen.
Talmadge warned that “no state
in the Union would be secure
against the wrath, whims or
caprices of a federal bureaucrat
armed with the unlimited power
of Title VI.”
