Ernest Vandiver
Is 3rd Georgia
Lieut.—Governor
ATLANTA—When Ernest Van
diver, of Lavonia, was sworn in
recently as lieutenant governoi
he became the third Georgian to
hold that office in Georgia. His
predecessors: former Acting Gov.
M. E. Thompson and Gov. Marvin
Griffin.
Vandiver, who formerly served
as Georgia’s adjutant general, de
livered a stirring inaugural ad
dress, touching on such subjects
as industrial growth, Commun
ism, state and national defense
and segregation. Referring to the
U.S. Supreme Court’s recent de
cision on school segregation, the
new lieutenant governor declar
ed:
“We cannot and will not dis
card our public school system
without first exhausting every
possibility. Any method by which
we can maintain our public
school system and still retain se
gregated schools will have my un
stinting support ... Be assured
that this adminisiration will do.
whatever is necessary to main
tail. segregation and still furnish
the best education possible for
both white and colored, within
our financial capabilities.”
STATE AFFAIRS
WIDE OPEN,
GRIFFIN SAYS
The new state administration
will be operated in wide open
view of the press, Gov.-Elect Mar
vin Grifin told fellow newsmen
last week.
“We have a big job to do for
all the people—those who oppos
ed us as well as those who voted
for us,’’ Griffin said as he talked
to newspaper, radio, television
and theater men at a luncheon
at the Variety Club. “We will
have nothing to hide from the
press. The State Capitol and the
government belongs to the people
—not to me.’’
A newspaperman himself
(editor-publisher of the Bain
bridge Post-Searchlight), the
governor-elect recalled that most
daily papers didn’t support him
in the gubernational primary. He
quickly added, however, that he
is “letting bygones be bygones.”
“After I take the oath of of
fice, you newsmen will have a
job to do for state government
just as I as governor, will have
a job to do,” Grifin stated. “You
will find the doors to the State
Capitol open to you. I intend to
give an account of my steward
ship at all times.”
HONEY IN BAKED PRODUCTS
Homemaking specialists point
out that many housewives use
honey in breads, cakes or cook
ies, because these baked products
tend to keep moist longer wh*”-
they are made with honey. Whe
honey is used in a baked prq
duct, it should baked at mod
crate temperature tcc.uas it
browns rapidly.
