LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor;
In response to the article concerning the orgin of the
so-called “peace symbol” which was found in the
church bulletins several weeks ago. I would like to
submit this article. It was published October 13, 19-
70 in the student newspaper at Valdosta State Col
lege, THE SPECTOR, (see below)
As you can see, it discounts the story that young
people wearing this sign are under a communist or
anti-church influence. They are quite simply demon
strating thier desire for peace in the world, 1 feel, is
pro-Christ, if anything.
T
his is to say that this article is entirely correct
and the other one is entirely incorrect. I merely wish
to show both sides of the issue, for if there is no true
understanding, there can be no peace! You must ad
mit that peace is something this world needs more of!
If it is at all possible, 1 would like for you to pub
lish this article. 1 believe it woud be in the public’s
interest for both sides of the coin to be shown.
If. however, you choose not to publish it, I quit
understand. 1 just thought that the matter should be
drown to your attention.
Thank you so much for your consideration and co
operation.

Electric power for the ’7os.
We’ll spend almost $1 million
each day to provide it.
In the past decade, Georgia's population grew by three
quarters of a million. Another half-million increase is
predicted for the first five years of the ’7os. In only one
year, 1969, over 140 new industries located here.
More people and industry mean more electric power.
Providing it will cost $230 million this year —for new
construction, enlargement of present facilities and pro
tection of the environment.
When it comes to rising costs, this company has the
same problems as other citizens. A 30- or 40-cent dollar
doesn’t increase in purchasing power when it passes
from a customer's hand to ours.
But, despite inflation and record-high interest rates,'
construction can’t wait. You need power, so we’re build-'
ing to meet your needs. And $1 million a day is the price
of preparedness. *

WONDERFUL WOOD
Light but tough — that’s
wood. Pound for pound, wood
has a tensile strength equal to
that of steel. And wood does
n’t lose strength in extremely
low temperatures. In fact, it is
stronger at 300 degrees below
zero than it is at 70 degrees a
bove zero.
