We’re THE HAROLD SPRUELLS FOLLOW SUIT MAN OF THE SILENT MAJORITY “There was a day when this land we call home was furrowed and planted and when most of th e South’s dollars came from fields tilled by both white and black hands. Those days are gone forever and they aren’t coming back. The fields are still fertile and they do not lie idle, but ma chines have replaced the aching backs and sweating brows. As we move into the 70’s we are going to be competing in a much more sophisticated and industrialized world and we are going to need every brain and every pair of skilled hands we can turn up. No one is going to give us anything. We’ll have to earn our own way. Wants, necessities and luxuries; better schools, better roads, better mental institutions —even clean air and wate r—can only be assured by the true wealth of a nation, a region or a state —its people. We all want a better life. One that is full and enriched, not only by material things, but by moral and spiritual values that keep families and com munities working and striving together, sharing the good with the bafl. To attain it, we will have to guarantee every citizen the opportunity to be a producer, to make sure that every indi vidual carries his share of the load and that every person calling himself a Georgian is able to contribute. We desperately need unaverage leaders today who aren’t afraid to challenge, to dream, to inspire and to reach for the unreachable star. This is the only way we are going to become a little better than we’ve ever been before.” —Hal Suit If you would like to see the man who wrote this Governor of your State I VOTE FOR HAL SUIT \ Republican Primary, September 9th THURSDAY, SEPT. 3, 1 970 Truck Driver Hurt When He Hits Bridge A Rossville truck driver, listed on hospital records as Milto n Har vey Emerling, 1102 Emerald Street, was injured about 12:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, when the truck he was driving toward Jackson hit the Towaliga River bridge on the Jackson-Griffin highway.
