CHRISTMAS
Get Ready! Christmas 72
Is Around The Corner
It may seem far-fetched, but how
many Christmases have crept up
on you and found you unprepared
financially? It’s a smart move to
put a little money away each week
in one of our Christmas Clubs.
Then— next year at this time
you’ll have a nest egg put aside
for all your holiday gift shopping.

Court System
Facing Crisis
Judge Hugh D. Sosebee of the
Flint Judicial Circuit delivered a
challenging and thought provo
king address to the Jackson Busi
ness and Professional Women’s
Club at the November dinner
meeting Monday evening at the
Jackson Clubhouse.
The program was arranged by
the Legislative Committee, Mrs.
Jewellene Polk, chairman, who
presented th e speaker.
Judge Sosebee emphasized that
“we are facing a crisis in our
court systems, operating under
rules of procedure that were set
up over 100 to 150 years ago.”
He cited the heavy case load that
faces almost every court and sug
gests that needed revisions be
implemented. Mr. Sosebee said
he is inclined to be agreeable in
some reduction in the number of
jurors from the present 12 as a
reduction would not place as
much a burden on a person to
serve and would be less expen
sive. The present jury system, he
pointed out, is a great expense
to taxpayers and is time consu
ming. He expressed concern
about the number of appeals and
the time it takes to try a case.
Judge Sosebee said that a con
cern to him is the fact that ap
proximately three years ago a
drug case had never been tried in
Butts County. He stated the drug
problem has been with us for
some time and we are only now
realizing what we are confronted
with. He also said that all heroin
is imported and is being brought
into this country by a group of
professional criminals and people
who would destroy this country.
He recalled that during October
the court spent two weeks trying
cases in Henry County of which
90 percent were results of deal
ing with, handling, and use of al
cohol or drugs, mostly drugs.
The widely known Forsyth jur
ist declared that the underworld
has moved into Georgia and in
Atlanta and that what happens
in that city directly affects us.
He explained that crime has be
come a sophisticated business in
this country and placed the blame
on judges, lawyers, sheriffs, po
lice, etc. for allowing it to go on
too long. Judge Sosebee said
“we have encouraged crime by
not being willing to look at the
problem and face it.’’ He empha
sized that it is high time we do
something to those people who
are ruining the youth of our na
tion. He called for the personal
involvement of every citizen in
encouraging the respect for law
and order and for cooperation
with the courts. He stated that
we can make our country safe
and that the sheriff, the lawyer,
judge, etc. are one part of a
great system.
In conclusion, Judge Sosebee

Commissioner of Agriculture, Thomas Irvin,
has released the statewide quarantine imposed
August 9, 1971, on the movement of equidae
in the state of Georgia due to Venezuelan
Equine Encephalitis situation in south Texas.
The cancellation of the quarantine became ef
fective November 10, 1971.
It was felt that since no outbreak of this dis
ease has occurred in the United States outside
of south Texas, the mosquito season is nearing
an end, and that the majority of the equidae
have been vaccinated the quarantine was no
longer necessary.
However, it is suggested that horse, pony
and mule owners have their animals vaccinated
annually against this disease until further
knowledge is gained as to how long immunity
lasts from vaccination.

Still Need
Presents
Miss Dorner Carmichael, a
representative of the American
Red Cross in Viet Nam, in a re
cent letter to her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. M. W. Carmichael of
406 Woodland Way, Jackson,
makes an eloquent plea for ser
vice men in Viet Nam to be re
membered by relatives and
friends at Christinas with gifts
they need and appreciate most.
The excerpt from her let
ter includes the following self
explanatory paragraph:
“I am afraid that people don’t
really realize that there are still
plenty of fighting men over here.
They have closed several R & R
sites and Bob Hope may not be
coming and the men are starting
to feel that no one realizes that
they are still here, still fighting,
still getting wounded. If you
know of some organization that
would like to help us out—we
see the men of the 101 and they
are the most forward unit in
Nam—our men are on the DMZ
and they get very little supplies.
If they could send stuff for
Christmas like: yo-yos, Frisbees,
marbles (since the weather is so
wet, the men are playing inside
the bunkers), as many cards as
possible (the cards they do have
quickly mildew and fall apart in
the weather), homemade cookies,
and also harmonicas. The men
get in their ration packs things
like soap, towels, etc. but they
have been asking for the things
I mentioned. Just send them to
us and we will give them out.
The men have plenty of books
(they get book packs) and they
can’t carry around extra socks or
clothing as they quickly get wet
and mildew.”
The Tri Hi Y Club of Jackson
High School sent a real nice box,
according to Miss Carmichael.
Those desiring to send gifts are
reminded to do so early and to
mail them at this address:
