Two Child Limit
Will Be 'Must'
Americans and the rest of the
world must accept the Idea of the
two-chlld family, says a Univer
sity of Wisconsin biologist.
Otherwise, predictions of over
population, mass famine, and en
vironmental ruin will be borne
out by the year 2000 or sooner,
he insists. "Planning family
size is an essential part of plan
ning for a viable environment,”
he said.
He emphasizes that population
control begins with the individual
and that government programs
can only facilitate and bolster
private Initiative in birth con
trol.
Oxford Buildings
Now Utilized
"GOALS”, a newsletter re
porting the advancement of
Emory University in Atlanta, and
Oxford College of Emory Univer
sity, Oxford, reported recently
that two major buildings are now
in use on the Oxford campus —
the Oxford Library and Chapel.
A MERIT Program building
project, Oxford College’s new li
brary, was dedicated in cere
monies held June 7. The library
replaces Candler Hall, built in
1898, which will become a stu
dent center. The new building
cost $585,000 and has some 20,-
000 square feet of floor space —
room for tripling the present col
lection.
Restoration of the small chapel
built in 1875 enables Oxford stu
dents to use it for religious ser
vices, chamber concerts, re
citals and lectures of visiting
scholars. Though the chapel
originally cost SII,OOO it took
SBI,OOO to pay for renovations.
Retired Methodist minister J. E.
Cline, 1917, of Oxford, Georgia,
made the first contribution —a
SI,OOO gift — toward the chapel’s
restoration. This was followed
by an SBO,OOO contribution from
Gainesville, Georgia, business
man R. Carl Chandler.
Maddox Sues For Right To
Offer For Re-Election
ATLANTA (GPS)—Gov. Lester
G. Maddox wants another 4-year
term in office and he’s gone to
court in an effort to become
eligible to run next year.
Attorneys for the governor —
Macon’s Tully Bond, Jr. and
Atlanta’s Houston White, Sr. —
filed a suit in Fulton Superior
Court seeking to strike down
a section of the State Constitution
that prohibits a governor
from succeeding himself in office.
That section was adopted in 1941.
The suit was filed in behalf
of Maddox, individually, and for
seven private citizens acting for
themselves and all other
registered voters. It is thus
a class action. Fulton Presiding
Judge Osgood Williams, a Maddox
appointee to the bench, set a
hearing for Dec. 17.
Named as defendants are
Secretary of State Ben W. Fortson
Jr., the State Election Board,
DOD Issues Leave and Discharge
Policies for Christinas Season
WASHINGTON (ANF) —
The Department of Defense
(DOD) has established leave
and early discharge policies
for armed forces personnel
for the Christmas season.
The early release program
will permit early separation
of those Army personnel
whose normal release from
active duty otherwise would
occur between Dec. 20, 1969
and Jan. 4, 1970. Individual
release dates will be timed to
permit such personnel to be
home for Christmas.

Atty. Gen. Arthur Bolton, 17 state
Democratic party officials and
13 Republican party officials.
The suit asks the court
to declare the prohibiting section
invalid because it is un
constitutional and contrary to the
due process and equal protection
of the law provisions of the 14th
Amendment of the U. S. Con
stitution. Chances are the case
will wind up before the U. S.
Supreme Court.
Immediately after the action
was filed, Gov. Maddox said at
a press conference that he would
definitely run for reelection in
the 1970 Democratic primary if
the suit is successful.
Asked if he thought he would
win the case, the governor
replied: "It’s not what I think
about it. It’s what the court
thinks about it that will be the
important thing . . .
will be in effect for the
same period indicated above.
This extended period will in
sure that most servicemen
have an opportunity for
leave over one of the two
holidays during the period.
Military commanders have
been instructed, when pos
sible, to schedule individual
leaves so they coincide with
non-peak travel periods on
commercial transportation
systems.
The leave policy will apply
overseas where the military
mission permits.

Don’t Downgrade U.S.,
Vietnam Returnee Asks
SP4 Larry Scarborough was photographed at Phu Bai, a new base,
just two weeks prior to the winter offensive of February 1968.
PORTERDALE—"Why would a
fellow volunteer to go back to
Vietnam for a second time?” I
asked Larry Scarborough of Por
terdale upon his return recently
from a second tour of duty in
that country.
“You want to feel like you are
accomplishing something,” he
explained without hesitation.
"Then, too, the time passes fas
ter there, and besides, you know
you are helping somebody,” he
continued.
SP4 Scarborough has covered
a lot of territory since he enlist
ed in the Infantry on August 12,
1966 and began training at Fort
Polk, Louisiana. Subsequent as
signments at Fort Leonard Wood,
Missouri and Fort Gordon, Geor
gia trained him as a field wire
man.
With the 40th Signal Battalion,
he was stationed at Blhn Hoa,
where for one year he worked
with MACVas a 36C Field Wire
man. It was his privilege to have
Mrs. Scarborough, the former
Miss Brenda Fisher, also of Por
terdale, visit him for his R and
R leave in Hawaii In December
1967, after which he completed
that assignment for which his out
fit received a Presidential and
Unit Citation.
Mr. Scarborough had a brief
leave in the United States. . .at
home. . .before leaving for Kal
stersterm, Germany, where for
the next six months, he was a
lineman working with WDI spiral
4 cables. There he was attach
ed to 440th Signal Battalion, 25th
Signal Company at Seventh Army
Headquarters.
Anxious to get the job finish
ed in Vietnam, this young sold
ier volunteered for re-assign
ment which took him to
Camrahm Bay with the Ist Mar
ine Division.
“How do you feel about our
being there?” he was queried.
“It is necessary. That’s all
there is to it!”
“What can we do here for our
servicemen representing us th
ere?” was another question.
“Don’t downgrade our gov
ernment and them for being th
ere! That’s the worst thing folks
at home can do. Don’t ever
downgrade their purpose,” em
phas 1 zed an eyewitness, happy lo
be home but very conscious of
what was taking place.
“Would you like to know about
the country and the people?” he
asked his interviewer.
“Sure. Suppose you tell me
about it.”
“ First of all, you realize that
America Is the richest land on
earth, and the Army is the high
est paid.”
“Disease Is everywhere, and
the families are very poor. You
can’t really imagine how poor.
I guess that’s why they beat you
out of everything they can.”
“Do Gl's sell to them and what
Items?” he was quizzed.
“Oh, watches, cameras, TV’s,
etc. You ought to see their hou
ses. Why they are made of any
and everything from plywood and
planks to tin. You know where
they get the tin? They gather
up coke and beer cans of our
servicemen and beat them out
flat. They take .old tires for
shoes. Theyuse EVERYTHING!”
“They are Ingenious then, ar
en’t they?”
"Yes Indeed. They farm, rai
sing rice mostly. They worship
Buddha and I understand that th-

eir homes have special places for
idols. Many are also Catholics.
Let me tell you another thing.
It’s HOT and the nonsoon lasts
three to four months with four
to six Inches of rain everyday.”
"Tell me about the mail. Is
it very important?”
“Yes, of course, although some
people never receive a word of
mail from anyone. Others write
to pen pals who are sisters of
relatives of other Gl’s. Every
body likes to get mall some
times!”
Mr. Scarborough’s new job as
a Packing and Shipping Service
Operator at Hercules In Coving
ton is far removed from the bat
tlefields In Vietnam, but he is
constantly aware of what Hippie
protests and American demon
strations must be doing to the
morale of American troops fight
ing to keep freedom.
(He is the son of Mrs. Martha
H. and Fred Scarborough of Por
terdale.)

MEMPHIS (FHTNC) Nov. 13
—Airman Apprentice Arthur T.
Bruce, USN, son of Mrs. James
H. Bruce of Route 2, Covington,
graduated from the Aviation Mec
hanical Fundamentals school at

ing Center, Memphis, Tenn.

basic mathematics, common air
craft hardware, mechanical and
electrical physics, aeronautical
publications and the use and ap
plication of hand tools.
ATTIC DORMITORIES
Creation of attic dormitories
for school age children helps
solve space problems for many
overcrowded families.
According to the Southern Pine
Association, such conversions
may Involve little more than
application of finishing materials
to the existing structure, simple
storage type dividers enclosing
books and clothing will establish
separate sleeping and study areas
for each child.
New patterns of southern Pine
paneling are well adapted to this
form of remodeling since they
may be applied directly to exist
ing structure or surfaces In less
than full floor-to-ceiling height.
This paneling is spaced so that
thickness of the lumber is visi
ble for a pleasing three-dimen
sional Impression. An added
advantage is southern Pine’s high
resistance to wear and rough
treatment.
