Get Information
On Medicare
By now, all elderly social
security or railroad retirement
beneficiaries in Newnan should
have received, thejr kits and the
enclosed application for the sup.
plementary medical insurance’
part of medicare, Dewey R. M¢-
Kenzie, Social Security ‘District
Manager, stated.
About 1,000 other older per
sons — those not on the social
security or railroad retirement
benefit rolls — have already
been in touch with the social
security district office in La-
Grange, he reported. But many
others still need to take action ‘
to protect their medicare
rights.
Eight out of ten aged per
sons will be reached through
the mass mailing, he noted.
About one . third of those who
will not be reached this way are
receiving old . age assistance
jpayments and will hear direct
ly from their local welfare
agencies.
Another third are still working
lu,lime and will need to file
.social security applications.
About one million will also have
to get in touch with their local
social security district office.
The enrollment period for
.those who will be 65 or over be
fore the end of the year closes
‘March 31, 1966, Mr. McKenzie
.pointed out.
The March 31 deadline is very
important, Mr. McKenzie stress
ed. Everyone who is 65 or will
be by January 1, 1966, must re
‘turn the medical insurance en
rollment card by that date —
whether recejved in the mail or
picked up at a social security
district office, if he wants full
protection when the program
goes into effect July 1, 1966,
Demonstrate Patriotism
On Veterans Day Nov. 11
Washington, D, C. — “Mani-|
fest your loyalty and' devotion
to country on Veterans Day,
ceremonies,” American Legion
National Commander L. Eldon
James said today.
““There is no better way to
demonstrate our patriotism, our
support of the U, 8. military
and civilian efforts over there,
and our loyalty to country than
to display and to wear, our
country’s flag,” James said.
In a memorandum to all State
Legion Commanders the Nation
al Commander urged a positive
manifestation of support for U.
S. assistance to the government
and people of South Vietnam.
Excerpts from his statement
follows:
' “There remains within our
country, a small but noisy mi
nority which continues to decry
U, S. policy in Vietnam. The
| means used by some among this
~group range from acts of im
maturity to those of civil dis
obedience. Others betray by
their deeds that if they are not
in collusion, the yare at least in
sympathy with the communists.
.Decent Americans are embar
rassed and incensed by the at
titudes and actions of these
would - be divisive elements
within our society.
“The danger from these dis
siderits is not so much that
they will succeed in deterring
our government from its course,
or discourage the magnificent
efforts of our people in South
Vietnam, but that they may
cause otherwise well . inten
tioned citizens to sympathize
and lend support to them. l
“Characteristically, even now,
nationally and locally, The
American Legion and other pa
triotic organizatioins seek to
express their disapproval and to |
manifest their feelings of pa- |
triotism in a positive manner, {
“Such reaction is the Ameri- |
can way and, therefore, thel
American Legion way. This way
is positive. We must, of course, !
avoid actions of an offensive or |
vigilante nature that would |
serve the interest of those who |
seek to undermine our national |
unity, our purpose, our strength, |
and our morale, !
“All American Legion Depart-! |
meuts ahd Posts should makel
known — within the limits of|
responsible conduct — their sup
port for the Administration's
position with respect to South
Vietnam; and that Legionnaires
everywhere should do every-|
thing they can do — reasonably!‘
and objectively to bolster that!'
Arresting More
Erring Drivers
| Altanta — (GPS) The odds
for a motorist getting by when
he violates Georgia’s ~traffic
laws are steadily dropping. The
latest evidence of this is seen
| in a nine - month State Patrol
report released by Col. H.
Lowell Conner, director of the
Georgia Department of Public
Safety,
For example, during that }
period 42,856 state patrols travel.
ed 6,838,543 miles, an eight per
cent increase in both categories,
and arrested 69,209 traffic viola
tors, which also war an eight
'per cent increase gver 1964.
{ Here's the result of this in
-creased enforcemgnt activity
of the State Patrol? Os the 68,-
479 cases disposed of in court,
which was a 25 per cent in
crease, 57,939 culminated in con- :
victions, a gain of 23 per cent
over a year ago. Total num
ber of pending cases dropped
by 10 per cent. .
““This should be a warning to
foolhardy drivers in Georgia,”
declared Col. Conner. “Their
chances of violating our traffic
laws and getting by with it is
diminishing every day, every
week, every month. We hope
every driver, for his own good,
will learn to respect the law.” ‘

Jekyll Rull
By Undercofl
By
Under Atfack
By WILLIAM B. WILLIAMS
A Jd%lelr Island restaurateur
argued here in Federal Court
Monday that if the -state reve
nue commissioner has power te
dry up part of a county, he has
the power to make Georgia
bone dry.
Albert Crews of Wanderer
Metel on Jekyll Island made
this argument in a written mo
tion for a judgment against
Revenue Commissioner Hiram
K. Undercofler whe in early
October denied him a motion
for a liquor license.
Attorney Gen. Arthur K. Bel
ton had argued in court last
week that all applicants for li
censes on Jekyll Island were
treated alike—they are denied a
state license to sell alcoholic
beverages.
In Mr. Crews’ motion, he said
Glynn County had yoted wet
with 27 other counties and the
county authorities had granted
him a liquor license before the
commissioner refused a state
license.
l Mr. Undercofler said it is
against state policy to have al
coholic beverages on state prop
erty. He also argued that it is
against policy to have liquor in
| state parks.
| Jekyll Island, the restaura
{ nteur argued, has not been under
the jurisdiction of the State
‘ Parks Department since 1950.
He said the state court has
l jurisdiction in the case because
the Georgia Supreme Court has
| indicated by prior decision that
| cases such as his are not sub
| ject to review by the state's
| highest court.
I He said Jekyll Island appli
| cants for liquor licenses have
| the same right for issuance of
i liquor licenses at the state level
{ as all applicants in all 28 wet
| counties.

380,000 Development Project
For every SI.OO spent on installing works of improvement in the
project, residents will receive $1.50 in returns.
l Bryan County consists mostly of
low, level land. Facilities to remove
excessive water from this land are
not adequate. This condition retards
growth and reproduction of the more
desirable species of trees. It denies
access to large areas of timberland
i} for extended periods, causes damage
to crops, pastures, roads, culverts
and bridges, as well as creating
| health problems in the town of Pem
broke and vicinity.
The Bryan County Board of Com
missioners, realizing the need to re
move this excess water from the
land, inaugurated the idea of a
watershed program. They checked
into the possibilities of such a pro
gram, made their plans and set them
in motion. On August 19, 1964, the
Mill Creek Watershed Work Plan
was placed in operation.
Being a multi-purpose project,
the Mill Creek Watershed was de
signed to improve the agricultural
water management in the county and
prevent floods. There is approxi
mately 38,712 acres in Bryan Coun
ty which is covered by this project,
and 940 acres in Bulloch County,
making a total of 39,652 acres in
all.
