The numbing cold of winter has
now passed and we look forward
to the pleasant days of spring.
Along with this season comes the
crack of the baseball on the bat,
the sweet click of the driven
golf ball, and the quickness of
performance on the tennis courts.
Yes, sports are a very Integral
part of our spring life. At New
ton County High School, our
spring sports program stands
out as one of the finest in the
region.
Coach Ronald Bradley has just
begun to get his boys into shape
for the upcoming baseball season.
As always, our baseball team will
bring us many thrills again this
year and many victories.
Golf, still in its Infancy here
at N.C.H.S., is growing rapidly
under the able leadership of
Coach Tom Wortman. Our boys
were runners-up in the region
last year and promise to be con-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
tenders again this year. They will
open the season Thursday against
Morgan County at the Porterdale
Golf Course.
Our tennis teams have already
carved a dynasty in region 8-AA
as well as in state competition.
They captured the region champ
ionship last year, with Jim Gain
er going on to win first place in
State Boys Singles.
Coach Wilbur Fisher now has
his boys readying themselves for
competition in track events this
spring. This team will have a
great deal of speed — enough
speed to be at or near the top
in every meet this year.
Although spring sports events
don’t have cheerleaders, bands
and such, they still offer a great
deal for the participants as well
as the spectators. Support all our
teams tills spring and let them
know that you’re behind them
100%.
Talmadge Seeks
Food For Hungry
School Children
ATLANTA (GPS)—Taking the
lead in Congress in the war on
hunger all across the nation,
Georgia’s U. S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge has introduced a bill
designed to keep children from
going hungry because the federal
government cuts off funds in
school guideline noncompliance
cases. In introducing his bill,
he told his colleagues this:
“Many members of Congress
and many high-ranking officials
of the new administration have
registered angry and sympathetic
protests against hunger—black
hunger and white hunger; hunger
in the ghetto; hunger in rural
shanties; hunger among the aged
and the infirm; hunger in the pub
lic schools, and most tragically,
hunger—and perhaps even vir
tual starvation—among small and
innocent children.
“The conscience of America
has been aroused by the undeni
able fact that there are millions
of hungry and extremely needy
children in this fat and prosper
ous nation. They are being denied
their birthright. They are being
deprived of education and train
ing. In more instances than we
care to contemplate, they are
sick and diseased in body and
broken in spirit.
“This is a shame and a dis
grace, whether it occurs in the
South, the North, the East, or
the West—and it does in fact
occur to a very large degree
in all these places.”
Sen. Talmadge’s bill, a two
paragraph amendment to the 1964
Civil Rights Act, climaxed many
weeks of research he had con
ducted into charges that many
needy children are being depri
ved of federally-financed free

Teen-A gers Asked To
Submit Peanut Recipes
Tifton, Ga. — Georgia teen
age girls with a flair for creat
ing new and exciting food re
cipes using peanuts and peanut
products have been invited to en
ter the Georgia Peanut Commis

Contest” which is currently

Miss Wanda Grogan, food con

points out that all girls between
the ages of 12 and 18 are eligible
to enter, but must submit their
recipes — in written form only
; —by February 28, 1969, in order
to have them judged.
i There are five categories in
. the contest, she says, and en
trants may submit as many re
cipes as they desire in each
category. The categories are;
(1) Cakes, (2) Candles, (3) Cook
ies, (4) Pies, and (5) Miscel

dishes, breads).
Five top recipes in each cate
gory will be selected, Miss Gro-

lunches when funds are withdrawn
The amendment specifies that
even if other funds are withdrawn,
the money earmarked for lunch
programs would remain intact.
In Georgia alone, he pointed
out, of 77 schools which have had
federal funds cut off, 47 have had
to reduce their school lunch pro
grams drastically. Because of
this, he explained, 9,000 Georgia
children lost school lunches.
“I can find no justification—not
under the Civil Rights Act and
certainly not in the name of hu
maninty —for allowing such a
practice to continue.. .My legis
lation is simple. It seeks only to
eliminate an outrageous aspect
of federal enforcement of the
provisions of Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE .
ft H >' I' I , W// m \ i I
THAT TIME OF YEAR is approaching when city councils,
school boards, and parents start worrying about sending their
children to the Nation’s Capital on School Boy Patrol trips and
other student excursions.
In short, they wonder if Washington is a safe city. Each year
I hear from mothers and city officials inquiring about the ad
visability of such school trips because of crime conditions in the
District of Columbia.
The crime rate is very high here, and a rash of armed hold
ups, robberies, and muggings has reached the point of extreme
severity in some parts of the city. On the other hand, normality
for the most part still prevails in the central city and areas around
the major national shrines and tourist attractions.
* * *
NO ONE CAN PREDICT of course with any degree of
certainty what may happen on the streets of Washington—or in a
lot of other metropolitan areas that could also be named. Neither
can anyone forecast a riot.
I recall last Spring a school official wrote to ask about condi
tions here and whether a Georgia school band should come to
Washington for the Cherry Blossom Festival. The group decided
to make the trip, only to have to hastily pack their bags and return
home because of the April riots. But at other times, groups have
come and gone by the thousands totally without incident.
* ♦ ♦
CRIME HAS BECOME a tremendous national problem, and
one cannot reasonably single out Washington as the only trouble
spot. It is equally as serious in many other cities and Washington
is only one of more than 100 cities to be hit by rioting in recent
years.
But at the same time, Washington is and ought to be re
garded as a showcase for the nation. It is deplorable that many
people are afraid to visit their Nation's Capital, which belongs to
all Americans and should stand as a model not only for the United
States but for the entire world.
The crime problem has become a national issue. There is a
great deal Congress can do to strengthen law enforcement, and
these efforts will have my full support. But 1 also feel that it is
not so much a matter of needing more laws on the books. What we
need more than anything is stronger and stricter enforcement of
the laws we already have and a public policy for dealing with
lawless agitators and demonstrators as the troublemakers they
actually are.
