“HE WHO NEGLECTS THE PRESENT MOMENT THROWS
AWAY ALL HE HAS.”
We cross the threshold but once in this life. Ah! . . . but
If only we can leave the door wide open and welcome with
open arms all we meet. True, time is fleeting, but fast as
time may go, why not make every moment a moment of
happiness ... for not only ourselves but those around us.
It’s so simple a task and still, at the same time, so Soul-
Satisfying.
Blessed be those who give, so let’s give today and every
day and receive in return the reflection of the good we ex
tend to others.

MELTON CLEARS AIR
ON SEVERAL POINTS
IN TAXATION FIGHT
ATLANTA—(GPS) Like in the
gubernatorial campaign last
year, some of Gov. Marvin Grif
fin’s arch political enemies have
utilized every trick in the bag in
an effort to block the adminis
tration’s proposed $65-mlllion
tax program for expanded serv
ices. In fact, they even turned
back the pages to the hot days
of last summer.
But when they got on the sub
ject of campaign promises,
Quimby Melton, Jr., editor of the
Griffin Daily News and newly
elected president of the Georgia
Press Assn., who served on the
State Programs Study Commit
tee, sort of cleared the air on
that and several other points in
his editorial column. He wrote:
‘‘Here is what the major can
didates said about taxes last
summer:
‘‘MARVIN GRIFFIN—‘I do not
advocate any new taxes oi any
kind whatsoever.’
‘‘FRED HAND—‘I will advo
cate no new taxes but will col
lect all taxes due.’
- E. THOMPSON—‘I am
against any new taxes. I believe
in strict collection of present
taxes without adding new ones.’
‘‘TOM LINDER—‘I pledge to
carry on the good things the
State has been doing without
any increases in taxes.’
‘‘CHARLES GOWEN — ‘We
should have no new taxes. Tax
revision should be confined to
eliminating inequalities and
tightening enforcement and col
lections.’
‘‘Thus we see that all the can
didates made substantially the
same pledges. Whoever had been
elected, the situation would have
been just as it Is.
"Faced with an undenied need
for money, Gov. Griffin said that
lie reserved the right to change
his mind when he is wrong.
“There have been glaring in
consistencies in statements and
some editorial comment about
the tax session. Months ago it
was determined that the schools
will have 30,000 new pupils in
the fall, that the highways are
in deplorable condition and
must be maintained, that pres
ent revenue is not enough to do
the job. Demands mounted.
Then when it came time to raise
money to do it, some of the same
folks started hollering.
"Nov; the fact remains that
you can't buy services without
money to pay for them.

was a good turn out.
Looking at the slate or win

way with Juanita Berry of Jones
boro walking away with a $56.00

Everybody is looking forward
to next Saturday’s drawing and
hoping to be one of the lucky
five because somebody has got to
win.

Mayor Hoyt Voyles comment
ed: “Naturally, we want to see
our little city grow, but in its
growth we want to see proper
land usage..adequate distribu
tion of population, protection of
property and a promotion of the
general welfare of the city, all
of which should ease some of
the growing pains which are
sure to come and which our
neighboring cities are presently
undergoing.”
