Knob Bennetts Americanism Shows Through
A familiar, and popular,
figure around Jackson these
days is Doyal J. (Knob)
Bennett, 76, who observes the
passing scene from his home
on Brownlee Road.
Born October 3, 1900, Knob
has seen quite a bit of
scenery pass in his 76 years,
having spent the larger part
of his adult life in the service
of his country.

WSB Radio Vice President

Newt Gingrich Knows What It Means lb Serve
His Country. Newt Gingrich, who wants to be your
congressman from the 6th district, grew up in a
family that made personal sacrifices so that the
country could be served. Newt's father was a career
Army officer, and because of his devotion to duty,
traveled and lived all over the world.
Because of his father's service requirements,
Newt went to grammar school in Europe and high
school in Columbus, Georgia. He went to college
in Georgia and, like his opponent, did graduate
work out of state.
Newt believes in roots, and he has his roots
firmly planted in a dedication to his country, a
dedication he learned from his childhood.
Some might say it's important to be a native of
the 6th district to be its Congressman. But when
you think about it, isn't it more important to learn
what service means from a family whose total
commitment was to the defense of this country?

We Need A Congressman Who's Willing lb
Face The Real Issues. In a political campaign, it's
easy to hurl mindless charges that aren't based on
facts. But Newt believes, more importantly, that a
political campaign gives voters like you a chance to
understand where this country is now and where
it's heading in the future.
We've got to preserve a strong national defense,
cut the size of the bureaucracy, oppose gun control
and balance the federal budget.
And we've got to do something about the
corruption and mismanagement of Congress that
affects our very existence.
So on November 2nd, think about your
country, your district and your family. Remember
that true service comes from a commitment to
service, and that the future depends on strong,
honest leadership.
The time has come for a change in Congress.
The time has come for Newt Gingrich.
