SENATOR DEAN REPORTS TO THE PEOPLE £ Neither our district or the state can expect to get the industry we need when state agencies charged with attracting new factories are squandering tax money on such items as cuff links and key chains. The Department of Industry and Trade spent $838.30 for 505 key chains, $594.63 for 105 sets of cuff links and $408.48 for 30 pairs of GOLD cuff links last year. The state agency also spent $48,000 on telephone calls that one official admitted was used partially for personal business. These items were found during hearings by the Appropriations Committees last week. I am a member of the Senate Appropria tions Committee and have been watching such spending. The key chains and cuff links cost you a total of $1,841.41. That won’t break the state, but I point them out to you to show you the, little things that they get by with too often. “Every little bit hurts.” A thousand dollars here, ten thousand dollars there and pretty soon you have a million dollars. It is such little things that I have been watching as your state senator. Big costs start from little things like key chains. A fellow senator from south Georgia has proposed to freeze the local school support at 17 per cent, rather than increasing it on a sliding scale. It would keep local school districts from having to dig deeper in local property owner’s pockets at this time and receive more from state funds. The local property owner continues to bear the burden for too much of the tax load. As I mentioned to you earlier. I am going to introduce a bill that would allow only properly owners to vote on bonds. As a property owner you will look more carefully at the bond elections and whether or not they will cost jou more money in taxes. This proposal would be submitted to you the people to vote upon as a constitutional amendment. It would provide that only those registered voters who are freeholders may vote on such bond issues as drawn by any city, county or other unit of government. I would like to hear from you on this matter.

Leland Moore, local Methodist pastor, announces that Bishop John Owen Smith, of Atlanta, Bishop in charge of the Atlanta Area of The Methodist Church, wUI deliver the message at 11:00 A. M. next Sunday Feb. 12 at the Nahunta Methodist Church. This will be a most extra ordinary occasion in the life of this church, since no one here can recall that a Metho dist bishop has occupied the pulpit of the church hereto fore. Methodists of Nahunta and Brantley County are all being urged to be p^seni Members of all Brantley Coun ty Methodist Churches will be in attendance, together with many of their friends. Bishop Smith will be on his way to Brunswick, where he will preach again at 3:00 P. M. Sunday at Epwoth-By-The- Sea, which will be the first service of the Annual Winter Camp Meeting being held February 12-17. He has been serving the Atlanta Area of The Methodist Church for the past six and one half years, and his administration has been most effective and suc cessful. He is one of Metho dism’s best and most beloved bishops, an unusually strong preacher, a churchman' of rare wisdom, with clear vision and undaunted Christian courage, yet ever exhibiting the Chris tian characteristics of humil ity and genuine brotherliness, according to further facts furn ished us by Rev. Moore. The pastor and members of the Nahunta Methodist Church want it known 1 that the Sunday morning service is in no sense for Methodists only. But for the general public. Church people of other religious de nominations, and all others, are extended an invitation to attend. The visit and preaching cf Bishop Smith at this time is only a part of the very unus ual program and emphasis of the whole month of February in the local church, the aims of which are sustantial in creases in enrollment and at tendance of all church ser vices, the Sunday School, the Methodist Youth Fellowship and the Woman's Society of Christian Service. It is all in cooperation with the present exangelistis Venture in Faith now engaged in by Methodists throughout Georgia.
