State Primary Will Be Held Next Wednesday Okefenoke Co-op Membership Meeting to Be Held Saturday Price Predicts Victory for Ronald Adams “Perhaps as a recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution stated, I am the most optimistic man in the Eighth Congressional District. However, my optimism stems from the experience and train ing of having been associated closely with several state and Congressional campaigns and I firmly believe that I can tell gen uine support from political ex pressions. “Ronald Adams and I have re ceived pledges of genuine support which indicates that he will carry at least fourteen of the twenty counties of the Eighth District on September 14th. “I also firmly believe that if he can continue to gain as much ground within the next week as he has in the past week he will carry every county in the District. “The election on September 14th will not be the first time that an incumbent has found that they cannot be returned to of fice, without ever having given an accounting of the trust that the people placed in that person. “An expression that there will be no race, that there are no is sues, is not sufficient to fool the people of any county. Broken and empty promises always make an issue and the incumbent has an outstanding record of broken and empty promises.” stated David Price, Campaign Manager for Ronald Adams, in predicting the election of Mr. Adams in the Democratic Primary on Septem ber 14th. Mr. Price pointed out that even the incumbent now believes that something can be done about the tobacco allotment for the tobacco farmers of Georgia, in that she now states that maybe something can be done to increase the allot ment. “It can be done by electing Ronald Adams to Congress. The people of the Eighth District will have a new Congressman on Jan uary Ist, and he will be nominat ed by the voters of the Eighth District in the person of Ronald Adams,” predicted the Campaign Manager. _____ Methodist Pastor Invites You to Attend Church Sunday September is here and Labor Day is over.

Latest innovation in the elec tric heating field is a weather "anticipator” that provides ad vance warning of outdoor tem perature changes and regulates the operation of a heat pump ac cordingly. Use of the anticipator reduces the temperature fluctua tion in a heat-pump-equipped home from the average of four degrees Fahrenheit to a more comfortable range of about two degrees.
