EUGENE CREWS ASSISTANT CASHIER AND BRANCH MANAGER MEMBER FDIC Guess how much the electricity costs when you perk coffee for the crowd. Fifty cents, you think? \t least a quarter? Even less than that. At Geoigia Ihme. s axerage residential price per kilowatt-hour, you can perk 50 cups of coffee for only two cents. Know what else two cents’ worth of electricity will do for you? It’ll wash eight toads of clothes or vacuum 36 large rugs. Toast 100 slices of bread. Light a 100- watt lamp for more than 12 hours. That's getting your two cents' worth and more. Much more. Now think of all the other ways economical electricity works for you. With a click of a switch or a touch on a button, it supplies the energy to do hundreds of daily jobs. Quickly, efficiently, reliably. That's why electricity is the biggest bargain in your family budget. By far.

IN FLANDERS FIELD John McCrae In Flanders fields the pop pies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely sing ing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, fell dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders feilds. s| Sidney Hulett Card of Thanks Acknowledgement frcm the family of Alvin Pinkney.

THIS CONTEST IS SPONSORED BY THE BLACK SHEAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY. REPORTER, DALTON BRAND Rep. W. S. (Bill) Stuckey Request Cally's Sentence Be Prevented Washington, D. C. — Rep. W. S. (Bill) Stuckey, Jr. in an emotional statement addressed to the U. S. House of Repre sentatives announced that he has written to the President of the United States requesting that Mr. Nixon as Commander in Chief of the Armed Ser vices take action to prevent the life sentence of William Calley from being on the con sciouses of the American peo- Stuckey also announced that he is introducing a Reso lution calling for the creation of a special Congressional Committee to conduct a thor ough investigation into the matter to determine whether Lt. William Calley has just been a scapegoat of the mili tary. The American people have been tossing and turning in their sleep over the past sever al nights, the Congressman stated. We are distressed indig nant and I believe most of all we are suffering from a cute guilty consciouses. Lt. William Calley, an A merican soldier has been sen tenced to life imprisonment. He killed civilians while serv ing in Vietnam Stuckey stated. I do not condone the killing of civilians especially women and children, he went on. “But th" Amercan people and the military establishment must not lose sight of the fact that this war we have been invol ved in for over 17 years is still considered a civil con flict. It is not a declared war. Our soldiers most often can not even distinguish the ene my they are supposed to kill from the civilian whose life they must risk their own to protect. A small child tosses a h~nd grenade and wipes out the lives of a dozen U. S. soldiers. “American newsmen are tor tured and killed — it’s chalk ed up as casualties of war,” Stuckey exclaimed. “But are not American newsmen civil ians? and without weapons. The Congressman said. Kill or be killed has become an instinct among our fighting men. What goes through the' mind of a man w r hen he is । fighting half way around th" world to prevent the spread of communism? Rep. Stuckey has also called on the Pentagon to issue a clear cut statement as to what is expected of our men in this war that has taken so many thousands of Americans lives and left other countless thousands maime for life. As he approached the end of his statement, Stuckey said, And finally, as I tried to sleep last nicht — knowing what action I planned as a Member of the House of Rep resentatives and representing the better than 350,000 people in the Bth District of Georgia —sleep still wouldn’t come— and I realized that the action I had taken and planned to take wasn’t enough. No, I decided that if the American neople—if our gov ernment —the establishment— cannot support our fighting men, then I can no longer jus tify drafting them into an impossible situation where it’s kill or be killed—but you better watch out because if vou kill then you stand the chance that you will be sent up for life w'hen you get home. So Stuckey continued, To day, I will vote against the extension of the draft—This is my protest for the fighting men in Vietnam—l don’t want to send any more of the boys from my Congressional Dis trict to Vietnam until there is more evidence of support here at home and until what is expected of them over there is more clearly defined. The President is bringing home troops. I support him in this And. if we’re not going to fight a war to win, then I say, let’s not continue draft ing young men to send over there. The vote to extend the draft for twm years was taken. Mr. Stuckey of Georgia voted “No.” Patronize Our Advertisers.
