If the schools are ordered

grants to assure the education
of our children IN FREE, SEGRE

ed by the State Department of
Education. WE WILL CONTINUE
HAVING FREE SEGREGATED
SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN.
The amendment bears the
full approval of the Georgia
Commission on Education.
Your vote for Amendment

a protection against riot, strife
and unrest, and permit the con
tinuance of FREE, SEGREGATED
SCHOOLS for our children. We
urge you to vote for Amend
ment Number (4) on Nov. 2.

penses. For this reason he urged
the citizens to subscribe to the

necessary to be hospitalized. He

type of hospital insurance.
