Electric power is
the "paying partner!"
-in water resource development
Our water supply is dwindling and by 1980 the need
for water will be double that of today's tremendous
demands.
Unified planning for full water resource development
is a necessity if we are to meet future needs. Piece-meal
planning to solve this problem can be disastrous.
Low-cost hydro-electric power is a natural part of
efficient, multi-purpose water use development. It pays
for itself and can pay the major portion of the cost of
the project. Hydro-electric power thus is the "paying
partner" in full scale water resource development. It
is only sensible to regard power and water as partners
in an important plan for -our future survival. And
the benefits of such development will be shared by ALL
Americans!

attention of a car being shot
by a hunter standing on a
public road shooting deer. It
is acknowledged of all of us

hunters help up protect lives
by setting stands out of gun
shot range of roads to protect
traffic and School Buses.
We recommend that the
County Commission repair
Free-Holders House (Voting
House) in Lulaton and any
others that are in need of re

Hoke S. Wilson
Is Candidate for
Representative
To the Citizens and
Voters of the 84th
Representative District:
As all of you know, Pierce and
Brantley Counties now have to
share a State Representative in
the 84th Representative District.
I am a candidate for this most
important office, subject to the
run-off election to be held on Sep
tember 28.
I have always believed that ev
ery county should have at least
one representative. However,
since this is no longer possible,
due to the rulings of the United
States Supreme Court, I am hap
py that the counties of Pierce and
Brantley were placed in the same
district. The two counties have a
lot in common, including family
ties, religious life, and agricul
ture. In fact part of Brantley
County was once a part of Pierce.
I was born in Brantley County,
and have lived there all my life,
except for time I spent in the
C.C.C. camp and the United
States Navy. I am married to the
former Miss Mary Bryan. We
have three children and three
grandchildren.
In 1962, the people of Brantley
County honored me by electing
me State Representative. In 1964,
I was reelected for another 2 year
term. The reapportionment of the
House of Representatives did
not allow me to serve but one
year to the term I was elected in
1964. While in the House of Rep
resentatives, I served on the
Welfare, Motor Vehicle and State
Institutions and Property Commit
tees. I was vice-chairman of the
Sub-Committee on Juvenile Mat
ters.
I believe that the experience I
have gained while serving as
Brantley County Representative,
plus the fact that I am a native
born son, aware of the needs and
problems of our people, amply
qualifies me to serve as your
representative.
I promise you that I will work
with all of the officials of both
counties in the securing of more
roads, more industry, and more
services for our district.
I am going to make a special
effort to see each of you, and dis
cuss my platform with you. If I
for some reason do not get a
chance to talk with you in per
son, please accept this as a per
sonal appeal for your vote and in
fluence.
Sincerely,
HOKE S. WILSON
