LEGIS LETTER
( from page 2)
of its simplicity, may have a
chance of adoption. Few sen
ators want their districts chan
ged.
The Johnson plan would re
quire a constitutional amend
ment, Inasmuch as the size of the
Senate, 54 members, is fixed in
the Constitution.
After a spirited debate, the
House last week adopted a resol
ution proposed by Reps. Dorsey
Matthews of Moultrie and W.
Jones Lane of Statesboro to in
vite Governor Lurleen Wallace
of Alabama and her husband,
George Wallace, to address a
joint session of the General As
sembly. The vote was 76 to 59.
Interestingly, opposition to the
resolution was led by Rep. Mat
thews* young colleague, Rep.
Billy Gene Fallin of Moultrie,
a freshman legislator. He said
the "traditions and mores” of
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Georgia were very different from
those of Alabama, and that he
didn’t see why the Wallaces sho
uld be able to use Georgia as a
•'political stump” to further their
ambitions.
Action by the senate will be
necessary before the Wallaces
can be invited to address a joint
session, and there appears to be
considerable opposition to the
visit there.
The Senate passed a resolution
which would have exempted Geor
gia from the operations of the
uniform daylight savings act,
passed by Congress. Later it
was amended to make Georgia’s
action dependent on what was done
by two out of three neighboring
states—south Carolina, Florida
and Alabama.
However, the House Industry
Committee voted down 12 to 4
a resolution exempting Georgia
from daylight saving, so unless
the committee reconsiders it ap
pears that Georgia will conform
to the act of Congress.
The House Motor Vehicles
Committee voted out favorably
a bill allowing municipalities to
use radar to check the speed of
cars. For the last few years
the use of radar has been limit
ed to the State Patrol. The bill
requires the Department of Pub
lic Safety to license its use by
cities under strong safeguards
to prevent its use for "speed
traps.”

EDINBURGH. SCOTLAND, MARCH 3, 1847—A son
is born to Eliza and Alexander M. Bell, and there is much
celebration in the household. Now, 120 years later, we
commemorate the birth of Alexander Graham Bell.
We could say many things about this man who made such
vital contributions to modern science and communications.
But his own words are probably a much better summation
of his life and philosophy:
“Don't keep forever on the public
road, going only where others have
gone. Leave the beaten track occa
sionally and dive into the woods.
You will be certain to find some
thing you have never seen before
...Follow it up, explore all around
it; one discovery will lead to an
other, and before you know it you
will have something worth thinking
about to occupy your mind. All
really big discoveries are the results
of thought."
