Newspaper Page TextPage 4 - The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, October 19, 1972 House Speaker Smith Favors Amendment 10 ATLANTA (PRN) - Speaker of the House of Representatives George L. Smith has asked all Georgians to vote “Yes” for Constitution Amendment 10 in the November 7 General Election - to avoid the possibility of unnecessary increases in hospital costs. The distinguished Georgian has released a letter to citizens throughout the State urging them to vote “Yes" for the Amendment and asking that they help get others to vote “Yes”. The Georgia Legislature passed the Amendment by a near unanimous vote in their last session. Simply, Amendment 10 guarantees church-sponsored and nonprofit hospitals continued exemption from ad valorem taxes. These hospitals have been traditionally exempt under the Constitution and state law, but the Amendment is now considered necessary because of challenges by several counties that the exemption no longer holds. In his letter. Speaker Smith said, “Some of the hospitals are: Georgia Baptist in Atlanta, Candler Hospital in Savannah, Elks Aidmore, Scottish Rite and Henrietta Egleston Children’s Hospital and others throughout Georgia.

SMITH in our state has had occasion to have some member use one of these fine hospitals. I feel that passage of this amendment will be helpful to every family in Georgia, and I urge you to join with us in this good cause.” It was pointed out by the Georgia Hospital Association that if these hospitals are forced to begin paying property taxes, the added cost to each patient will be from $2.00 to $4.00 each day when hospitalized. commemorating Gen. Pulaski’s dedication to liberty, we also honor the significant contributions made to this nation by generations of Americans of Polish ancestry. “It is fitting, in remembering Gen. Pulaski’s example, that we rededicate ourselves to the fundamental principles of freedom and justice for all on which this nation was founded and for which Casimir Pulaski fought and gave his life.” Georgia honored the count in 1808 by naming a county in the southeastern part of the state after him.

He knows them individually because of an identification system he has carried out. Nelson Maddux, Cooperative Extension Service dairy science department, says the safest and soundest identification system is a combination of two systems. One system is to tattoo the calf at birth, or soon after, with the same number in both ears. The other system is to cold brand at three to four months or hot brand at ten to twelve months with the same number that’s in the calf’s ear.
