• • * *
Thank you Mr. Sherwood for
that most kind and flattering
introduction.
I appreciate the very kind
invitation that permits me to
be here tonight to speak at
this Annual Youth Banquet.
Thi? is a very worthwhile
and important get together. I
think we should give recog
nition to our youth more of
ten.
It is indeed a pleasure to see
so many adults here tonight.
I can see that the adults of
Covington are very much in
terested in the welfare of the
youth and are actively seeking
to help youth.
I have always had a keen in
terest in young people and their ;
activities.
One of my Number 1 projects
since I have been in public life :
has been a continuing campaign
to help bring about a greater i
interest by our young people
in the affairs of government —
local, state, and national. <
And I think it is significant

"WHERE THE BEST COSTS NO MORE"
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State)
that in recent years the young ’
people of this state and nation (
have become more and more t
a part of their governments. 2
To me, the election of Presi
dent Kennedy is one indication t
that the reins of government
are now going to younger of- }
ficials. 1
And in our own Georgia Gen- i
eral Assembly, we have more c
young representatives and sen
ators elected for ehch new term, c
This is being brought about r
by several factors, including
the fact that more and more s
members of the younger gener- 1
ation are going to the polls to- t
day.
I think youth in Georgia rea- t
lizes more than ever before i
that they too must help should- t
er the burdens of government. 1
Generations before us have j
worked and have fought to
build a government for us. And, e
it is up to us, here tonight, to 1
preserve our form of govern- f
ment for those generations who t
will follow us.
I wonder if you realize our s
state government is the biggest e
business in the State? r
It has, altogether, more than t
20,000 employees.
It operates on a budget of i
more than two-fifths of o n e s
billion dollars a year.
It manages the largest land ?
area east of the Mississippi. t
It has four million owners -e
stockholders. ।
There just isn’t any activity
in the State which comes close <
to our state government, in size i
and extent — or in importance
— importance to you, and to <
each and every other one of i
the almost four million citi
zens. <
This is your state govern
ment. i
How well it serves you — i
how efficiently it operates —
how it pleases you — depends
upon you — and your fellow i
citizens.
You are the ones who will i
choose the people who will <
manage your government.
You are the ones who will ]
select those who will write the i
laws, and, who can change 1
things, for the better.
Therefore, it is most impor- :
tant that you take an interest
in your government — that you ;
understand it — that you be
lieve in its principles — that ■
you work in its behalf.
Let me urge you to take an
active interest in government.
Help get other people — your
families — your friends — in
terested in better government.
You know, if we look at our
state government as a business
enterprise, the very size and
magnitude is almost staggering
to the imagination.
But. we just don’t have to
imagine. We can get down to
some actual facts and figures.
The State government is en
gaged in a wide range of ac
tivities —a range which cov
ers the alphabet from A to Z.
A to Z? Well, we have, in
the employ of the State — ac
countants — and we have zo
ologists.
In between, there are actual
ly more than twelve hundred
different types of jobs.
Your state government is in
volved in such activities as
building school houses and
college dormitories — teaching
young people — building high
ways and bridges — maintain
ing hospitals and health cen
ters — providing for the safety,
health, well - being, progress
and prosperity —of almost four
million people.
Your state government rais
es such things as pine trees,
quail, fish, deer — and it has
conservation programs to pro
tect them.
We also are concerned with
providing food for our people.
We teach agriculture in school
and college: we carry on a re
search program; we have a fine
system of farmers markets.
We’ve got a state patrol and
a bureau of investigation; a
system of courts and of pri
sons; and we have a probation
system to aid in the rehabilita
tion of those who go astray.
We help folks find jobs; we
provide aid for the elderly, the
ill and infirm, and for children
—for those who are unable to
help themselves.
We’ve got some fine recrea
tion centers and parks — in
cluding a mountain or two, and
an island.
I think you can see that this
is, indeed, a widespread, an
important, business.
To have the kind of govern
ment which you want — to
have the kind of state you
want — it is most important,
most vital, that you know, and
that you uphold, the principles
upon which our state, and our
nation were founded.
The people who fought for,
and won, our freedom, believed
that all rights belonged to the
people.
They believe that govern
ments existed only to serve the
people.
They believed that govern
ments should have only the
powers and authority which the
Avoid Off-Flavors
In Milk Caused
By Lush Grazing
Off-flavors in milk, a prob
lem many Georgia dairymen
face in spring and early sum
mer, is usually caused by milk
ing cows eating large quanti
ties of lush grazing, according
to W. H. McKinney, Extension
dairyman of the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture.
Lush grazing is the most
economical feed for a dairy
cow, so dairymen try to man
age such grazing so as to re
! cieve maximum benefit from
it, he pointed out.
Mr. McKinney made the
following suggestions for get
ting the most benefit from lush
grazing and at the same time
avoid the problem of off-flavors
■ in milk:
1. Graze cows immediately
: after milking for one to three
I hours. Take them off grazing
i three to five hours before the
next milking.
2. Feed silage after milking,
not before or during milking.
i Silage fed within three hours
.before milking often gives the
, strongest flavor in milk. This
■ can usually be avoided by feed
ing silage at least five hours
(before milking.
3. Hay is the best feed to
give cows between grazing and
, milking time, or between silage
i feeding and milking time.

people granted.
And, that’s the kind of gov
ernment which they established
under our Constitution.
That’s the principle of gov
ernment which has kept Ameri
ca free, has kept us great.
There have been a lot of
changes, over the years.
You know, the three “R’s”
used to stand for Reading, 'Ril
ing. and ’Rithmetic.
Today, there are four “R’s”.
They stand for Rockets, Ra
diation. and Rock ’n Roll. . . .
Yes, there have been chang
es, and each change brings a!
challenge.
We have moved — in your j
lifetime — into an age of the i
atom and nuclear energy, into j
the age of jets, rockets and'
missiles — into the age of j
space.
And, right here at home, i
you have been growing up in
the midst of progress, of ad-1
vancement.
These are modern times.

We’ve got to stay modern —
we've got to stay up- to-date.
In all of this, through, in all
of these times of changes, we
must never lose sight of basic
principles.
We must never get away from
those basic principles.
Self reliance, love of liberty
— those are qualitii? which we
must have today to meet the
changes and the challenges.
Keep that before you.
