Newspaper Page TextTalmadge Talks To Georgians On Important Current Issues ATLANTA, - (GPS) U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, back home for a round of speeches, discussed some of the major problems that have put this nation in a bind unparalleled in modern times. Here are some of the pertinent things he said and where he said them: The Georgia senator warned of a “national crisis in morals and values” facing the Ameri can people “that is no less serious than the confidence and credibility gap in govern ment.” Addressing a joint meeting of the Georgia Sheriffs Associa tion and the County Officers Association in Macon, Tal madge said the people are “perfectly justified in demand ing that government put its house in order. But, at the same time, the American people would do well to put their own houses in order. No government can be any stronger or have more integ rity than its people.” Referring to the Watergate case and related events involving high government officials, Sen. Talmadge, a member of the Watergate : Investigating Committee, de | dared: “There can be no doubt that | the strength and dignity of I America has been damaged. I People in public office have a [ strong responsibility to work to * restore the confidence of the * people in government by f demonstrating honesty and I integrity at all levels - from I the courthouse to the White | House. But all this will be of no avail unless there is a l rejuvenation of the spirit and | integrity of the American ; scene. The crisis in morals and values has been building up for a long time.” He added: ; “We have seen it coming in the ever-increasing crime rate that runs far ahead of population growth. We have seen it in growing disrespect I for law and order, for "Wets" Win In Spalding Referendum In a heated and hotly contested referendum on Tues day, December 4th, Griffin and Spalding County voters ap proved the sale of package liquor by a vote of 5,441 for and 4,296 against. The controver sial issue drew one of the largest turn outs in recent years with almost two of every three voters in the county exercising their right of franchise. The day after the referen dum, Jack Moss, chairman of the Spalding County Commis sioners, said the board would meet later in the week to discuss setting up licenses and taxes. The City Commissioners were also expected to hold a similar meeting. One of the issues before both boards will be whether to call for a referendum on a pouring license. Both boards have the authority to call for such a referendum. Either board must call for a pouring referendum if petition ed to do so by 15 percent of the registered voters. The referen dum approved package sales which license does not permit consumption on the premises. A pouring license permits the sale of mixed drinks.

Many of the values which made ours a great nation and a strong people have fallen by the wayside. “Answers to this problem can be found in the same places they were lost, in the home, and school and church. The time is long overdue for the American people to strengthen these institutions which, in turn, will produce a stronger society and better govern ment.” Calling for long-range solu tions to the energy crisis, Sen. Talmadge told the Metter- Candler County Chamber of Commerce meeting he was “amazed that a nation so rich and technologically advanced could put men on the moon and spend billions of dollars abroad, but not keep enough heat in the furnace or gas in the car.” Predicting a period of hardship for Americans and stressing the need for the United States to develop “Self sufficiency and independence in energy resources,” the Georgia senior senator de clared : “We are going to have to tighten our belts, buckle down, and put our energy where the greatest need is. The crisis is going to get worse before it gets better. There may even be rationing of fuel before it’s all over. “Above all else, this situation has pointed out the need for America to become totally independent of other nations for her energy needs. We cannot be placed in a position Kiwanians Enjoyed Sing - Along In keeping with the Christ mas season, Program Chair man David Black arranged a songful folk sing-a-long Tues day night, December 4th, at the Jackson Kiwanis Club meet ing.
