[ IPI WASHINGTON ' I
SPEAKING OF THE Supreme
Court, the late Franklin Delano
Roosevelt once said the nation
must take action “to save the Con
stitution from the Court and the
Court from itself.”
Judiciary Committee. It would
remove the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court to rule on the quali
fications of lawyers and it would
overrule recent decisions of that
tribunal which nullified state
sedition laws, limited the investi
gatory powers of Congress and
ield that membership in the Com
munist Party is not proof of in
tent to overthrow the government
f the United States.
• * •
THIS MEASURE GOES a long
vay toward reversing the recent
rend of the Supreme Court toward
deliberately ignoring the Constitu
ion and established law and pre
-edent in patterning its rulings on
the basis of the Justices’ notions
of what the law ought to be
ather than what the law is; but
t does not go far enough.
That is true because it does not
seek to correct the decision which
se t the pattern for the current
wave of judicial usurpation of
■egislative power — the ruling of
the Court of May 17, 1954, that
state and local governments can
not operate their public school sys
tems in the manner they determine
to be in the best interests of their
citisens.

Robb Lewis Cemetery
Will Be Cleaned
The Robb Lewis Cemetery at
Raybon will be cleaned off Sat
urday, June 7.
All people who are interested
in the Robb Lewis Cemetery are
requested to come Saturday and
bring tooft for cleaning off the
burial grounds.
Because of that it shall be my
purpose to seek to amend the
Jenner Bill to remove the juris
diction of all federal courts “to
hear, determine, or review, or to
issue any writ, process, order, rule,
decree, or command with respect
to, any case, controversy, or mat
ter relating to the administration,
by any State or any political or
other Subdivision of any State, of
any public school, public educa
tional institution, or public edu
cational system operated by such
State or subdivision.”
A long-over
due bill propos
ing such action
now is on the
Senate calen
dar for debate.
It is the so
called Jenner
Bill as revised
by the Senate
It also is my intention to seek
adoption of an amendment to re
quire appointees to the Supreme
Court to have had at least five
years of experience as a federal or
state judge.
• • •
SO LONG AS the school decision
is allowed to stand this nation
will never be free from the threat
of judicial dictatorship and the
Constitution and the rights of the
American people will forever be
subject to the whims of the men
who transiently occupy the Su
preme Court bench.
Unless it is reversed, then the
United States has no Constitution
and no laws except what the Su
preme Court may on any given
occasion say the Constitution and
the laws are.
In voting on the Jenner Bill,
Congress will vote on whether the
Government of the United States
is to be one of laws or men
and whether it shall be Congress
or the Supreme Court which shall
make the “laws of the land.”

The Brantley County Unit of
the G. E. A. honored the retired
teachers of the county with a
banquet. There are six teachers
that have given enough years of
their life to the educating of
youth to reach the qualifications
for retirement.
The teachers of the county and
their families, the members of
the Board of Education, and
many friends attended the oc
casion which was held in the
cafeteria at the Nahunta High
School.
Instead of a principal speaker,
the program consisted of a per
son, who had known and work
ed with one of the honored guest,
introducing the teacher and tell
ing some things of interest a
bout him or her.
Mrs. Lois Williams, president,
presided and introduced Miss
Mary Knox. Mr. J. F. Larkins in
troduced Mrs. Woodard; Mrs. Liz
zie Herrin was not able to able
to be present; Mrs. R. D. Thom
as introduced his sister Mrs. B.
E. Thomas, Mrs. Winton Adams
introduced Miss Ida Vause,
The next part of the program
came as a surprise to Mr. and
Mrs. R. D. Thomas. Mr. Thomas
not only heads the list of retired
teachers but has spent more than
fifty years of his life in his high
profession.
There were many things to be
said about those fifty years, so
Mr. Elroy Strickland, a former
student, gave some of his ex
periences as a pupil. Mr. Herrin,
County Superintendent, who suc
ceeded Mr. Thomas in that capa
city, when he retired, told of
him as an administrator. Rev.
C. F. Thomas, his pastor, told
of him as a Christian Gentleman.
Others were given an opport
unity to express their feelings
and many had words of praise
for this select group. Outstanding
among these comments was that
of Mr. E. L. Sears, who had op
posed Mr. Thomas politically,
when he said, “Mr. Thomas is a
good scrapper, but he will not
hit below the belt.”
Several speakers brought out
the fact that behind every great
man is a good woman and the
group of eighty that were pre
sent agreed that Mrs. Thomas
Shared this honor in a noble way.
For the climax, Mrs. Williams
unveiled an 18” x 24” bronze
plaque in honor of Mr. Thomas
which is to be placed in the Coun
ty Court House.
The plaque contains a life-like
picture of Mr. Thomas under the
words, “Father of Education in
Brantley County.” Below the pic
ture is this inscription. “Mr. R.
‘Bob’ D. Thomas, given in honor
of the fifty years of his life that
were spent in educating youth
of South Georgia. Brantley Coun
ty Unit G. E. A.”
