VANDIVER ATTACKS
(Continued From Page 1)
These business men are prac
tical enough to realize that great
cnanges do not come about over
nightly. and that the precipitate
action by the younger Negroes
will do nothing but set back
many years the gains which
Negroes were making in housing,
health conditions, economic op
portunity, etc.
They do not deny that they
would like to see integration to
a certain extent, but they are
wise enough to realize that the
social customs of centuries will
take a long time to change to
any great degree, and that now
is certainly not the time to rouse

Following the full page adver
tisement in Atlanta Newspapers,
Inc. last week, calling for vari
ous "rights” for Negroes and
signed by students from the
Negro Atlanta University, Gov
ernor Ernest Vandiver issued a
statement which should be read
by every Georgian. In the hope
that this column will reach some
who did not read the Governor’s
statement in Atlanta papers, we
reproduce it below:
FOR
Clayton
County
Treasurer
Special Election
Saturday,
March 19, 1960
- ELECT -
HOWARD W. SMITH
SHERIFF
- OF
- COUNTY
GOVERNOR’S STATEMENT
I have read the ‘PAID ADVER
TISEMENT” purporting to come
from “students of the six affili
ated institutions forming the
Atlanta University Center.”
The statement was skillfully
prepared.
Obviously, it was not written
by students.
Regrettably, it had the same
overtones which are usually
found in anti-American propa
ganda pieces.
It did not sound like it was
written in any Georgia school or
college; nor, in fact, did it read
like it was written even in this
country.
This left wing statement is
calculated to breed dissatisfac
tion, discontent, discord and
evil.
It is strange that this state
ment allegedly comes from a
group receiving opportunities
not enjoyed by most young peo
ple of both races.
For nearly a decade now sal
aries for Georgia teachers of
both races have been equalized.
New school plant facilities and
school transportation facilities
for Negro children have been
provided. In many many cases
these buildings are better and
more modern than provided for
white children. It should be
borne in mind too, that in those
states with mixed schools, Negro
Ivachers lose out.
Let it be further noted that
white taxpayers are paying over
80 per cent of the bill for Negro
education in Georgia.
All Georgians are working
diligently to increase and ex
pand job opportunities for all of
our people. In this way, and in
this way only, can the standard
of living and per capita income
be raised to a level comparable
to that of sister states.
“Human Rights” can come
only through individual initia
tive and individual achievement,

not by discord and strife.
“The rights, privileges, and
joys of life” in this country are
limited only by the imagination
and capability of the individual |
and his willingness to work for ■
their attainment.
White or colored, the individ
ual must strive for opportunity
and acceptance in society. No
group, acting through the use of
any means, plan, artifice or de
vice can achieve these objectives
through the use of unorthodox
and unacceptable methods. No
group of persons utilizing the
so-called “sit-downs” in defiance
of the rights of every man to
conduct his business as he deems
proper can accomplish anything.
Nor can these demonstrations
accomplish anything in defiance
of the will and opinion of the
great body of the people and
through infringement on the ■
rights of the majority.
All Georgians reject the impli-'
cation and charge that our Capi
tal City and our State is a land
of “inequality and injustice.”
In Atlanta, oeorgia, there are i
more Negro property owners,
more bankers, more insurance
executives, more insurance com
panies, more doctors, more
lawyers, more real estate con
cerns, and more Negro school
teachers and more colleges than
in any other city on the face of
the earth.
This is a graphic illustration
of the total and complete falsity
and hypocrisy of the charges

INDIAN CONFLICT
Walton County, with 331 square miles, was founded on Creek
Indian lands in 1818 and became Georgia's 46th county.
Named for George Walton, a two-term Georgia governor and
signer of the Declaration of Independence, this county now
ranks 87th in size. Monroe, the county seat, was the home of
Henry D. McDaniel, a Confederate major and Georgia gover
nor Also near Monroe is Jack’s Creek, where on September
21, 1787, General Elijah Clarke’s volunteers routed approxi
mately 100 Indians. Clarke's casualties in the battle were
carried up this stream by their comrades to a fork and buried
nearby. The tributary into this fork came to be known as
Dead Men’s Branch. Today, the income of progressive Walton
County stems principally from agriculture and industry. As
Georgia’s fourth largest cotton producing county, Walton’s
textile manufacturing is a major industry.
In Walton County, and throughout Georgia, the United
States Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure the sale
of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions. Believing
that strict law enforcement serves the best interest of the peo
ple of Georgia, the Foundation stresses close cooperation with
the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials.

DOUBLE EXPANSION

Mirror Road.
With the American Can Com
pany’s fine public relations
group operating at top-level ef
ficiency, the entire program be
fore and after the formal open
ing of the plant Thursday morn
ing left nothing to be desired.
Press and radio previewed the
plant on Tuesday afternoon,
[family night was observed
(Wednesday night with 226 out
j of 256 employees and their fam
ilies represented on an icy eve
ning; on Thursday a press con
ference preceded the formal
opening of the plant; Governor
Ernest Vandiver wrote a message
on a metal plate—“ Georgia in
vites Industry”, a button acti
vated the machines in this mar
velous electronic age and cans
began moving rapidly along the
lines, a luncheon at the Pied
mont Driving Club followed, and
the grand climax was one of the
company’s most successful Open
House affairs.
Governor Vandiver, spending
I about three hours in assisting
this great company in its offi
cial opening ceremonies, spoke
at length at the luncheon of the
vital role played by the industry
around the world in providing
containers for various items of
food and drink. And of how it
has raised health standards
everywhere and brought a bet
ter standard of living to count
less people. (See editorial about
this amazing corporation which
has, in 10 years, made unpre
cedented progress in the true
tradition of the American Free
Enterprise system).
William F. May, vice president
and member of the Board of the
corporation, told of the com
pany’s great stake in the South
east—sl4o,ooo,ooo investment in
10 plants, three of them in Geor
gia—and painted a bright pic
ture for the future.
The fine meal was super
vised by Mrs. Edalene Stohr,
head of the company’s home
economics department, and
everything came out of cans,
naturally. Including ham and
artichokes and vegetables, cof
fee, biscuits and fruit dessert.
Roger Deas, a public relations
man par excellence, a man with
a photographic mind, introduced
a number of distinguished peo
ple, including the Governor and
Vice President May, County
Commission Chairman E. Tarp
George, Host Mayor W. Reid
Puckett of Forest Park, and oth
ers gave their histories and all
that without restoring to even
one note. Mr. Deas has been a
speaker for American Can —and
a great one—in all but four
states. He, incidentally, co-ordi
nated the whole magnificent
program built around the formal
plant opening.
The new Canco division plant
is a $6,000,000 deal and has a
present rated capacity of 600
million containers for beer, soft
drinks, vegetables and biscuit
dough. The machine that turns

THESE ROADS IGNORE FATHER TIME!
Modern concrete will last
SO years and more !
Reports from state after state show that concrete pavements have
outlasted other types 2 to 1. The new roads will do even better!
Fifty years from now, cars will still be rolling smoothly on this
same concrete. Same surface, t 00... not resurfaced 4 or 5 times.
Concrete grows stronger with age. Other paving materials act
just the opposite. Sun, rain, freezing can’t hurt concrete.
That’s why it stays flat and smooth riding—doesn’t get rippled
and wavy. That’s why upkeep costs are as much as 60% lower
than for asphalt.
And concrete means a skid-resistant pavement,
one that lets you see better at night. Write
for free booklet on modern concrete highways.
