Everything's under control since
she made the switch to flameless
electric heat
The lady’s got the magic touch. Turns ordinary
living into gracious living. One of her secrets
is modern electric heating.
It’s so wonderfully clean! Walls, windows,
furniture, curtains, draperies, all stay cleaner
longer, much longer. This is the cleanest heat
in the world.
And heat that’s quick as the flick of a dial.
Quiet as a considerate cat. Comfort is held
within one degree of thermostat setting. Noth
ing else in home heating can match that.
Costs less to install. Costs less to maintain.
And total-electric customers get a special low
rate. Budget billing means you pay the same
amount every month.
You'll be switched? Fine. Look for a certified
electric heating dealer in the yellow pages.
Whatever the number, you’re dialing comfort.

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
.....I
THE RECENT MARCH on the Pentagon to protest United
States involvement in the war in Viet Nam probably gave more
aid and comfort to the enemy and cheered the hearts of more
Communists than anything since Castro took over Cuba.
Moreover, without a doubt, the hand of the Hanoi regime
was strengthened and the Viet Nam war prolonged.
The mass demonstration brought together all kinds of
people: hippies and so-called flower people. American Com
munists and socialists blatantly peddling their wares, radicals
handing out pictures of Che Guevara, “Black Power” advocates
militant civil rights agitators of the Rap Brown ilk, and a smatter
ing of what might be called “ordinary” people—but not very
many.
No doubt some well-meaning people were drawn into the
demonstration with the thought that they could accomplish some
good. And no doubt they were shocked by some of the things
they saw and heard, and hopefully they began to feel that they
were in the right church but the wrong pew.
To my way of thinking, no good can come from undermin
ing our government, or by accusing the United States of war
mongering, certainly not at a time when we have almost 500,000
soldiers in the field who deserve all the support and protection
the American people can give them. No one here wants this war
and Americans want to see it ended as quickly as possible. But
at the same time, so long as we intend to keep our commitment
to help stem Communism in Southeast Asia and keep troops in
the battlefield, then it is incumbent upon every American citizen
to support his government and not to pour fuel on the fire by
helping the e-emy.
Perhaps the net effect of the demonstration was best summed
up by the Communist Viet Cong spokesman who reportedly said
this march made these people “our comrades in arms."
IT WAS INTERESTING if not surprising to see what hap
pened to the people who were arrested trying to storm the
Pentagon.
After being carted off in paddy wagons, most of them were
promptly slapped on the wrist and sent on their way.
This demonstration falls into the same category as some
of the mob violence we witnessed this past summer. When the
law is enforced without fear or favor and when lawlessness be
comes unprofitable, then mob action in the streets will cease.

Today, with nearly one-half
of our population under the age
of 25, it is becoming more and
more important that emphasis
be placed on providing our
youtn with a good foundation
to prepare for future positions
of responsibility.
While the streets of George
town in Washington and
Haight-Ashbury in San Fran
cisco and Greenwich Village in
New York were filled this sum
mer with mobs of so-called
“hippies” and “teenie boppers”
wandering aimlessly _ about,
conducting sit-in’s, lie-in’s, and
wed-in's, we of the Bth District
can be proud of our young peo
ple.
In April of this year the
members of the Valdosta High
School Band came to Washing
ton and went home with the
first place trophy for band
competition in the Cherry
Blossom Festival.
And, just two weeks ago the
Waycross High School Band
made a trip to Washington to
perform before 50.000 specta
tors at the Washington Red
skins football game.
The activities of the hippies
this summer made every major
magazine in the country. Full
length stories, complete with
photographs, were written
about these unclean individ
uals who openly used a chemi
cal drug called LSD and
smoked marijuana—commonly
referred to as “pot” or “grass. ’
No such coverage was given
to the outstanding achieve
ments of cur young people of

the Bth District or others just
like them across the country
who spent their summer work
ing at summer jobs to help
earn their own spending money
or money to further their edu
cations. And, who spent the
summer participating in such
group activities as band prac
tice.
I believe that the experience
our young people receive from
such activities as participation
in their high school band is
extremely valuable. These
young people learn how to
work together as a team. They
learn to respect their fellow
students. And, they become
aware of the fact that their in
dividual effort means the suc
cess of the entire group.
I would like to commend the
young people of our Bth Dis
trict. And, I would like to give
special recognition to the mem
bers of the Valdosta High
School Band and the Waycross
High School Band for their
outstanding achievements.
And, I believe that it is due
to the support of the parents
and other members of the com
munities in our District and to
the teachers and band direc
tors, that our young people
have been given the inspiration
necessary to undertaking use
ful and constructive projects
which help build the character
needed for future responsibil
ity and leadership.
