THREE JONESBORO FISHERMEN—Richard Ballard, Jimmy Oliver and Dick Stuart— are
shown with 88 kingfish they boated on the “Miss Iris” of Treasure Island Marina at Grand
Lagoon, Panama City, Fla. This Is the season for good kingfish at this anchorage and sometimes
the good runs to incredible. When the weight goes into the 30-pound clsss this is very satisfactory
fishing, especially during the current Panama City Fishing Tourney.

men are coming into their own
as voters over the country. So
are the youth. Indeed, it said
there were four million more
feminine ballot-casters today
than men. What the margin is
in Georgia it didn’t say and I
dunno. But it went on to point
out that politicians today, un
like the old days before TV,
and even before radio, get much
more exposure to the public.
And good looks makes a big
ger difference than it used to.
And it cites the handsomer
chaps who hold political office
today such as Ronald Reagan,
who is even being boomed as a
presidential candidate if he
whips Pat Brown for the Cali
fornia governorship; George
Romney of Michigan; John Lind
say, the New York mayor; the
Kennedys and George Murphy.
You can add Carl Sanders. An
other, Jimmy Carter, who poll
ed a lot of votes although he went
into the race unknown.
The article says:
“What’s happening to politics
results from three current
movements in America—the
youth kick, the television era,
and the sexual revolution. Poli
tics 1966-style are concerned
less with Issues than with
images.”
In this article entitled “Poll- ,
tics and the Sexual Image"
George Dickerson takes
a critical look at the political
scene and traces its develop
ment both historically and
socially. Dickerson says the
elections of the Kennedys, Lin
dsay, Romney and Murphy have
taught political observers a les
son: the voter who decides an
election (the independent voter)
ultimately bases his choice on
the attractiveness of the candi
date.
“Women and youth are the
prime factors In today’s poli
tics,” Dickerson continues.
“There are currently four mil
lion more female than male vo
ters and that disparity will in
crease, since for every 100
males born there ate 105 fe
males. And America is getting
younger. Forty-two percent of
today’s eligible voters are be-

this percentage will rise to 48.3.
Besides the normal sexual re
sponse of youth and women,
there Is the added stimulant In
herent In our culture’s current
sexual preoccupation. Indeed, It
is difficult today to find a movie
without a semi-nude woman
or a torrid love scene In it.
Advertising has turned from
selling on the basis of class
consciousness to the basis of
sexual motivation. The sexual
orientation of our times com
bined with the mass of women
and young voters has created a
political-sexual revolution.
Therefore, claim the experts,
get vital, young, attractive can
didates and throw as much sex
into the campaign as possible.
“Political stands in contem
porary compalgns seem almost
useless-and occasionally de
terimental--to the candidate.
Even as late as the 1920’s
Amerclan voters only saw or
heard the candidates at whistle
stops or large political rallies.
Radio was In Its Infancy and
television did not exist, so the
candidate’s face and voice were
Irrelevant. However, as women
Increasingly became a political
force to be reckoned with, as
politics became too complex for
the average voter, as the gap
between what the politician
promised and what the politi
cian did became more and more
obvious, the voter grew cynical
and image became the dominant
over issue.
“The classic political image
before World War II was that
of the honest, baby-kissing fam
ily man. After the war, the
image of the manly military
hero was the formula for poli
tical success. The military
hero image was replaced by a
subtle combination of family
man, retired leader of the
troops, and benign old father—
portrayed by President Eisen
hower. America needed to rest
from crises and did not want
dynamic leadership or change.
But after Kennedy’s victory In
1960, political kingmakers be
gan to worry whether their
candidate was attractive enough
to sway the undecided vote. They
began hiring public relations

ENRICHING EXPERIENCE IN
GOD TOLD BY COLEMAN
BY REV. CHARLES GOE
Pastor Ash St. Baptist Church
Sometimes an unusual experi
ence changes our outlook on life
, gives us a
new under
standing com
pletely. TMs
past week it
was our pri
vilege to meet
with the pas
tors of the
Clayton Bap
tist Assn. I
was thrilled to
see Robert
Coleman, the tax commission
er, with us at the breakfast.
As we were thinking In terms
of announcements and other
expressions, Mr. Coleman ask
ed for a few moments to ad
dress the ministers’ group.
When he arose he began first
to thank us for praying for Mm
during the time of his very
critical illness. As most of us
knew he had fallen through the
roof of a cabin down at Jackson
Lake. He was unconscious for
several days. His life was hang-
firms to help mold Images, and
dramatic coaches, makeup and
voice experts to ensure tele
vision appearances. Where does
all this, lead?
“Dickerson suggests this
country is prone to fall for a
dangerous demogoglc image.
The notion of a sexually-at
tractive man with the aura of
a Hitler who might mesmerize
the country into putting him In
office is not as far-fetched as it
should be. Perhaps it is time to
reconsider political values and
put sex appeal into proper fo
cus.”
Yes, the ladles, It appears,
have had a lot to do with the
victories and fine showings of
the handsome gents.
Os course, Maddox against Ar
nall was hardly a beauty con
test.
In the case of Maddox and Ar
nall the lady-folks had
little choice in the pulchritude
department.
But when Maddox lines up a
gainst Callaway, it may be
the latter on his good looks.
ing in the balance, but now he
is back on the job, at least part
time, and is able to be around
and visit with others. As he
continued to speak he told us
how enriching the experience
had been. This had been a time
when he knew that he could
have gone on very easily to
meet the Lord, yet as he faced
the experience there was an
overwhelming assurance on the
part of hundreds of people from
scores of churches that they
were praying for him regularly.
As Mr. Coleman testified be
fore the group he said sometMng
like this: “I have always been
an active Christian and always
interested in my church. I have
served in several capacities.
I have been an usher, where I
have wanted to welcome the
people and tell them how happy
I was when they came. But this
experience has enriched my
life as nothing else in the world
has. I want now to tell every
one that I can about the special
power of God through prayer.
God has taken a country boy
like me and through the pray- -1
ers of hundreds and hundreds
of people has brought me back
from near death to a living ex
perience in Clirist. I want now
to share this experience with
others. I want to tell others
what Christ has done for me.
Somehow my religion, which
was real to me before, now is
the most Important thing in my
life. The experience that I have
had in Christ is one that I
would like for thousands and
thousands of people around the
world to have as they, too,
could come to know the power of
God through prayer.”
Mr. Coleman has put in writing
some of the things he said during
the Pastors’ breakfast Sept. 26,
as follows:
“My purpose in meeting ant
talking with this group was to
thank them and their churches
for their prayers during my
serious Illness after an acci
dent and to present myself as
living proof that prayers are
answered. I have been a be
liever in prayer from the bottom
of my heart and believing
that prayers are answered.
“For the first time ever I
PAGE 3
told a group of people that many
years ago something happened
in my life that there was no one
to turn to who could or would
help. Being brought up in church
and joining the Mt. Zion Bap
tist Church when I was 15 I
knew of God and God’s love and
I began to pray every night and
I prayed the same prayer for
a period of four years. At the
end of that period God answer
ed my prayers in such a beau
tiful way that everyone could see
and understand.
"Once I thought there were a
few churches that felt respon
sible for their members only
but I was wrong and asked for
giveness because during my
stay In the hospital there were
four churches in Fulton County,
four churches in Dutts County,
one in Fayette County and many
in Clayton County that were
having special prayer for my
recovery.
“Since my almost complete
recovery I have never been so
