Your School Band
The question is sometimes ask
ed why have a school band?
There are many reasons for hav
ing a school band and the most
important is that it is an import
ant part of the total education of
the student. During the past 25
years more emphasis and import
ance has been directed toward
school band training because ed
ucators have come to recognize
the real value. Today there are
thousands of band, orchestra and
vocal programs maintained as a
regular part of the schcol pro
gram. To be more specific here
are a few explanations as to why
your school needs a band.
1. BAND ACTIVITIES — School
bands are active during the en
tire school year and during some
of the summer months. Some of
the activities where school bands
are seen and heard are as follows:
a. Football games, basketball,
etc.
b. Parades.
c. School assemblies, socials, en
tertainments, general functions.
d. Christmas concerts.
e. Spring concerts.
f. District, Regional Band Fes
tivals. -
g. Community, civic and Church
programs.
2. HEALTH — As ,a part of
the physical and mental growth
of the student, a school band is

Man Is Charged
With Assault with
Intent to Murder
One of the cases that may be
tried in the fall term of Superior
Court is a charge against Howara
Joseph Bailey of assault with in
tent to murder Charles H. Col
vard of Bristol, Va.
The case arose out of a truck
car accident five miles south of
Nahunta on July 11, this year.
Mr. Colvard was carried to a
Waycross hospital after the ac
cident and later died, either from
the injuries received in the acci
dent or other causes.
Howard Joseph Bailey was giv
en a preliminary hearing by Jus
tice of the Peace Dan Wainright
and placed under $2,500 bond
charged with assault with intent
to murder.
The case will be brought be
fore the Grand Jury at the com
ing term of Superior Court, sher
iff J. Walter Crews stated.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Edgy of
Waynesville announce the arriv
al of a baby girl, born August 26
at the Glynn Memorial Hospital
in Brunswick. She weighed six
pounds and three ounces. She has
been named Martha Elaine. Mrs.
Edgy will be remembered as Miss
Martha Harper before her mar
riage.
one of the most healthful sub
jects in the school program. It
compares to swimming as a phy
sical exercise. Whenever the band
student is performing he or she
is using every physical and men
tal ability of the human body.
Band students learn to PLAY
TOGETHER. In doing so the eyes,
ears, hands, arms, legs, lungs and
other parts of the body must re
spond to an equal amount of men
tal action.
3. STUDENT BENEFIT —
Apart from the above activities
the band student also derives cer
tain other benefits from an edu
cational point of view. Some of
these benefits are as follows:
a. Citizenship — appreciation,
respect, pride in community.
b. Cooperativeness — learning,
working together, healthy com
petition.
c. Recreation — in school and
at home, wholesome activity.
d. Musicianship — Cultural, self
expression, vocational opportuni
ty.
e. Confidence — Performing in
public without shyness, bashful
ness. '
4- The above are just a few of
the contributions a school band
can make. To list everything
would mean volumes, however,
we suggest that you keep this
article handy for future refer
ence.

Senate Filibuster
Would Have Hurt
South Says Talmadge
A filibuster on the floor of th’e
United States Senate last week
against the civil rights bill would
have been extremely dangerous
to the whole Southern position
on this controversial issue, Sen
ator Herman Talmadge said last
Thursday.
Talmadge took the floor in the
Senate to recapitulate the legis
lative battle on the civil rights
issue. He called attention to the
fact that the bill came from the
House unchanged from “the in
iquitous version submitted to
Congress b y Attorney-General
Brownell.” ।
“Seventeen determined South
ern senators — with all odds
against them — set out to do
what their counterparts in the I
House of Representatives were
unable to do: to eliminate the
more vicious provisions of this
monstrous legislation,” Talmadge
declared.
The Georgia senator reviewed (
the success of these Southerners ■
in eliminating Section 3, and in ■
passing an amendment guarantee- ]
ing trial by jury. “It had been
hoped,” he said, “that the House ]
would sustain the full gains made '
by the Senate.”
“Unfortunately, however,’’ he
pointed out, “through a so-called
compromise, the jury trial was
sacrificed.”
Talmadge listed four reasons
why the Southerners in the Sen
i ate decided that a filibuster at
this time would be harmful to
i the South’s position. They are:
I—Cloture, or limitation of de
bate, was certain to be imposed
2—One of seven different reso
lutions now pending in the Rules
Committee to limit debate in the
i Senate would have been passed.
3 -Since a majority of the Sen-
I ate favors a much stronger bill
than finally passed, a filibuster
would have opened the door to
amendments restoring the iniqui
tous Section 3, and such amend
ments would almost certainly
have been introduced.
4—With 1958 being an election
year, the liberals in the Senate
are sure to introduce in the next
session much stronger civil rights
legislation than the bill passed.
It is vitally necessary that the
South retain the friendship of the
independent Senators, and a fili
buster at this time was bound
to antagonize them.
“For these reasons,” Talmadge
said, “it was the unanimous opin
ion of Southern Senators that, no
organized filibuster against the
Brownell bill be enacted on the
floor of the Senate.”
Senator Talmadge said that he
has represented, and will con-
tinue to represent, his constitu-
ents and the State of Georgia to
the best of his ability and ac
cording to the dictates of his
conscience.
“I have never compromised
principle and I never will,” be
declared.

County Officers
Say Vandiver Is
Heavy Favorite
If Georgia’s county officials are
still the expert judges of political
sentiment they have always been,
then Lieutenant-Governor Ernest
Vandiver will win the 1958 gu
bernatorial race overwhelmingly.
In a poll of Sheriffs, Ordinaries,
Clerks of Court and Tax Collec
tors of each of the state’s 159
counties, the Austell Enterprise,
weekly newspaper at Austell, Ga.,
asked these county officials to
mark a questionnaire as to the
potential candidate for Governor
who, in their opinion, is strong
est in their county at the present
time.
Result of the poll tc this writ
ing, Aug. 31, shows Vandiver with
234 votes from 131 counties; Rog
er Lawson has 23; Ivan Allen Jr.
received 7 votes; and T. V. Wil
liams 2. Mr. Williams had already
announced that he would not be
a candidate before the question
naire was received by the county
officials.
Five officials said it was an
even race between Vandiver and
Lawson; one said it was even be
tween Vandiver and Wilhams;
one wrote in Charlie Gowen’s
name; and 11 had no opinion.
Returned envelopes containing
the ballots were not opened by
the Enterprise, but were opened
before several witnesses in the
newsroom of the Atlanta Con
stitution.
