the players.

Jackson must try out on March
30th at 4 p.m. or on March 31st
at 10 a.m. at the James H.
Wallace Memorial Park on the
Monticello Highway. Mr. Davis
emphasized that anew player
must try out on one of the two
above dates before he can be
selected for a Little League
team. He also explained that
none of the other leagues
require try outs and that
August Ist of this year is the
date used to determine a
players age.
There are certain donations
that each player must make to
be able to participate and
according to Mr. Davis these
include:
Pee Wee League, $2 for each
boy.

being signed on the dates listed
above and emphasized that no
one will be accepted after the
final sign up date on March
24th. The only exception would
be families that move to
Jackson and Butts County after
March 24th.
Mr. Davis further explained
that no boy or girl will be
denied the opportunity to play

for donation on the day for sign

Sailer
Report
Lobbyists, pressure groups
and just the average good
citizen influence law-making
bodies. Before I can enact a
law, I must look at it from the
eyes and voices of the
taxpayers.
The reason I voted against
the salary-increase for State
house officials was because the
salary-increase was too great a
burden for the taxpayers to
bear. Just recently the Clerks
of Superior Courts requested a
salary-increase based on the
population of the counties. The
law was enacted even though I
personally voted against this
request. The reason I voted
against the Clerks Bill was that
it was too much an increase for
the taxpayers to bear. The idea
was good. To have their pay
made uniformly sounds good,
but the schedule was too high.
The Clerks office is one of the
most important in any Court
house, and their responsibility
is great, but I try to look at the
ability of the taxpayers to pay
the costs.
Before I will go along with
any request for a law, I look at
the proposition from the views
of the eyes and voices of
taxpayers.
I try to keep the government
as close to the people as
humanly possible.
I think the taxpayers should
be able to name the Chairman
of the Board of County
Commissioners and in other
ways and means have close
touch and control of their local
government. Inasmuch as the
average citizen is unorganized
from the standpoint of tax
paying, I take a long and
considered look at proposed
laws. I try to ask myself what
would the average taxpayer
ask if he were present and had
a voice on the proposal.
Any time I can be of service
to you taxpayers, I expect you
to command me.

That small scrap of paper with writing on
it that you sometimes do not understand can
sometimes be the difference between a fast
recovery and a lingering illness.
Actually, a prescription is a valuable do
cument. Doctors study over ten years to be
able to write them, pharmacists, five or more
years to learn about them and how to dispense
them and drug companies sometimes spend
millions of dollars to discover and perfect the
drugs in them. The amount all this knowledge
costs can save you sickness time and even
your life.
“A GREAT MANY PEOPLE ENTRUST US
with their prescriptions, health needs and other
pharmacy products. We consider this trust a
privilege and a duty. May we be your personal
family pharmacy?”
