Georgians Celebrate National
Hunting-Fishing Day Sept. 25
Governor George Busbee
has signed a proclamation
designating September 25 as
National Hunting and Fish
ing Day throughout Georgia.
This year’s observance
highlights the sportsman and
conservation, emphasizing
the many ways in which
hunters and fishermen have
contributed to conservation
since the turn of the century.
This is the fifth annual
observance of National Hunt
ing and Fishing Day.
Mayors, County Commis
sioners and other public
officials, working with the
'Department of Natural Re
sources, will sign proclama
ations designating Septem
ber 25 as Hunting and
Fishing Day in their local
areas.
Local sportsmen’s clubs,
conservation organizations
and environmental groups in
Georgia conduct special
activities on September 25 to
mark National Hunting and
Fishing Day. The United
States Jaycees are among
participants in the country’s
observance of National Hunt
ing and Fishing Day. The
Jaycees do this as part of
their activities to increase
environmental awareness
and to introduce children and
adults to healthful outdoor
recreation.
There will be a day-long
program of education and
entertainment September 25
at Lenox Spuare in Atlanta in
celebration of National Hunt
ing and Fishing Day.
More than a million
Georgians enjoy hunting and
fishing, both as a sport and as
a source of food. There are 55
million hunters and fisher
men throughout the nation.
Officials of the Department
of Natural Resources pointed
out that since 1900, hunters
and anglers have been the
leaders in nearly all major
conservation programs.
These sportsmen-conserva
tionists arc responsible for
the founding of state fish and
game departments in all 50
states. The hunters and
fishermen asked that they,
themselves, be required to
buy licenses and that money
collected be used to support
state conservation agencies.
In the last 50 years alone,
these sportsmen have pro

Friends of Mrs. Margaret
Carmichael sympathize with
her in the death of her
brother-in-law, David Faulk

Georgia and Illinois before

regulated seasons and bag

could harvest the annual
crop of game and fish without
damage to the basic breeding
population. Asa result, there
are now more deer, elk,
antelope and wild turkey in
(lie United States than there
were 50 years ago. Sports

benefited numerous species
of non-game fish and wildlife

Straight Talk by
Bob Scherer |lTj#
President, f I r ,
Georgia Power Company 11 1
This summer brought hot,
humid days to Georgia and our
customers used record amounts
of electricity, mostly for cooling.
On July 26 a peak demand of
9,150,000 kilowatts occurred, at
a time when some power plants
were undergoing repair. We
faced the possibility of serious
service interruptions.
At that point we asked the
news media to help us appeal
for conservation measures. They
cooperated to the fullest, and
so did customers all over the
state who turned air conditioning
to warmer settings and limited
other electric use. Our employees
worked hard to complete plant
repairs and these concerted
efforts prevented any major
interruption of service.
Throughout August we
continued to encourage our cus
tomers to use electricity efficiently.
We sincerely appreciate
your willingness to help —and if
you want more information on
wise use, just ask us. We re ready
to help, too.

TO THE VOTERS IN THE CITY OF JACKSON
I, J. K. (Red) Godwin, have qualified
to run for City Council in the Second Ward.
My opponent, Mr. Allen Byars, is currently

I am now in the construction business
and have been for the past six years, and
with this knowledge 1 feel I can use it for
better service and progress for the citizens
of Jackson.
The people who really know me know
that I am not a quitter, for I feel that I can
serve the citizens of Jackson to the best of
my ability. I do not want this office as a
personal gain, only to better improve our
city and will do so if elected as your City
Councilman.
1 want to urge each citizen in the city
to go back to the polls October 5. If you
have not registered to vote you may do so
until September 24th at the City Hall.
Thank You
