why vote for
amendment 22?
• AMENDMENT 22 will prevent any church
sponsored, non-profit homes for the aged from
ever paying ad valorem taxes.
• There will be no loss of tax revenue if
AMENDMENT 22 is passed. None of these non
profit homes pays ad valorem taxes now.
• But, if they are taxed in the future, thousands of
elderly occupants on fixed incomes will not be able
to afford it. They will have to be taken care of by
the state. Or by their families.
• Keep our elderly people in these church
sponsored, non-profit homes independent. Look
for AMENDMENT 22 on your ballot in the big
Presidential election. It's important to you, your
family, and to our older generation of Georgians.

AARP TAKES TRIP
TO MOUNTAINS
About forty people repre
senting the Butts County
chapter of the American
Association of Retired
people (AARP) recently
went on a sightseeing trip to
Helen. Georgia.
This time of year is, of
course, a favorite season to
visit the mountains because
of the colorful scenery, and it
was reported that the fall
colors were at their height.
Helen is a small town
restored on the model of an
Alpine village. Many of the
buildings and houses there
are built from Swiss arch
itectural designs, and this
fact drew particular interest
from the group.
A spokesman for the group
said another trip is planned
in the spring.
Can we afford four more years
without effective leadership?
There is a critical decision to be made
on November 2nd. It goes far beyond
the question of which Presidential
candidate can govern with integrity
and honesty. We must determine
which candidate has the ability and
strength to lead our country out of
economic chaos, and the vision to
see that aJJ Americans —not just the
Cowerful and influential have a
etter future.
During the past two years, the mid
dle class has paid far too dear a price
for a President lacking that ability.
Since Gerald Ford took office, the
unemployment rate has risen 50%,
from 5.5% or 5 million people, to 7.9%
or 7-1/2 million jobless Americans.
Today’s inflation rate of 6% is higher
than it was at any time between the
Ihx Reform: "The average
family in this country that
makes less than SIO,OOO a
year actually pays a higher
proportion of their income in
taxes than the average family
that makes more than a mil
lion dollars a year. That’s dis
graceful. We need to move
toward a truly progressive
and simplified tax system,
with reduced tax rates for the
average American."
Economy: “We’ll never have
a balanced budget nor an end
to the inflationary problems
as long as we have 7-1/2 mil
lion people out of work. Em
ployment needs to be the
major thrust of the whole
domestic policy of our
government.”

GOOD GRIEF
All persons, sooner or
later, experience grief. It is
a common experience of
human existence. Our aware
ness and knowledge of the
process determines whether
grief is good or bad.
In the interest of helping us
move through our grief to
wholeness in a strengthened
life-position, I want to share
with you the stages of grief as
listed by Dr. Granger E.
Westburg in his book, Good
Grief:
Stage I We are in a state of
shock.
Stage II We express
emotion.
Stage 111 We feel
depressed and very lonely.
Stage IV We may
experience physical symp
toms of distress.
Stage V We may become
panicky.
Stage VI We feel a sense of
guilt about the loss.
Stage VII We are filled
with hostility and resent
ment.
Stage VIII We are unable
to return to usual activities.
Stage IX Gradually there
is a recovery of hope.
Stage X W’e struggle to
readjust to reality.
Since we have no choice in
accepting the reality of
bereavement and grief, it is
federal government the most
bloated, confused, wasteful
bureaucracy ever created.
There’s no way to get an
answer out of Washington
and no way to understand
what’s going on there. We
need to reorganize com
pletely the executive branch
of government, making it fair,
efficient, effective, and re
sponsive to our people's
needs.”
Housing: “No government
that cared about our neigh
borhoods would stack the tax
deck against them. A landlord
can let a building run down
and make a good living on
tax breaks. But when a home
owner spends a little hard
earned money fixing up his
home, the assessor raises his
taxes. And the FHA no longer

beneficial if we seek to
understand it. Perhaps you
know someone presently
struggling with this process.
As you express you own
Christian concern, why not
share the information listed
above? Often the very best
thing w'e can share is that our
particular situation is not
unique. Your sharing may
determine whether a friend
is capable of experiencing
“good grief”.

Mr. Ford’s budget will account for
the largest single deficit and more
than 1 /3 of the public debt incurred dur
ing our entire 200-year history.
Real GNP has actually declined
during each of Gerald Ford’s two
years in office.
And who is most affected by these
distressing statistics? Not the Wash

elite courted by the Republicans. The
burden falls on the person who can
least afford it: the average American.
Jimmy Carter means to change all
that. As President, he will make gov

the time when, for a down
payment, a family could get
a mortgage which the gov
ernment would insure.'
Health Care: "We need a
nationwide health care deliv
ery system which will make
adequate health care a right
for all people."
Jimmy Carter has the
strength to take charge of
our government. If you are
tired of paying the high
price of Republican ineffec
tiveness, you have only one
choice on November 2nd,
and that choice is for change.
