THE FOREST PARK FREE PRESS—NEWS AND FARMER Unit System of holding primary elections and reapportionment in the General Assembly. I have never been opposed to reapportionment in the General Assembly. I have said so many times. I have also said I would support an equitable plan and a workable plan to give the ur ban or city counties of our state more representation in the law making branch of state govern ment. I say this because the General Assembly has the power to tax and to make laws and most thinking Georgians would be fair enough to support legis lation designed to give more equitable representation in the General Assembly. Not What They Want More equitable representation in the General Assembly is not what Bill Harrell and the At lanta newspapers want. They want the political control of the Democratic Party of Georgia. I want to say to them without fear of contradiction that they will never succeed in doing to the Democratic Party of Geor gia what they have been able to do with politics in Fulton Coun ty. The grass roots freeholders of the Democratic Party of this state will control it. In continuing his asinine argu ments against the County Unit System, Harrell contends that if the County Unit System “had been all that it was cracked up to be all these years why hasn’t the state prospered as it should? Why has Georgia not eve n reached second base in reaping the fruits of its economic po tential? Why has the state not industrialized at the rate it should?” I would like to ask the question: Who is crying and singing the dirges of discontent in this state? The answer is easy: The Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution. Who is responsible for Georgia's present low ebb in industrial develop ment?

TOUR OF THE WEEK **^^9^^^** Georgia Department of Commerce SUMMER FUN IN GEORGIA S STATE PARKS Camping anywhere is hard to beat, but in Georgia, it’s as great as all outdoors! Nowhere do the whispering pines and meandering streams seem to spell relaxation quite so well. Even the fish lend their support from the rushing rivers in north Georgia’s scenic mountains to the quiet, deep pools in the flatlands to the south. Campers are made welcome in this Southland state of forests and wildlife parks. The abundance of state parks along every road, in all areas of Georgia’s fickle natureland, allows the thousands of adventurers who congregate their choice of climatic living and adventure. It is a vaca tion paradise for hunter or fisherman, beachcomber or mountain climber, sightseer or sportsman. Georgia boasts 32 splendidly equipped state parks. Practically all afford attractive lakes and other delightful recreational facilities. Many have comfortable cabins available for nominal rental. I During the summer weeks the Tour spotlight will reflect on each of the state parks in Georgia’s lengthy chain, enumerating its camping and sporting facilities. Be it man-made creation or pristine work of nature, the wonders of Georgia will enchant every visitor and her traditional hospitality will cause the whole family to return. For collective or individual information on state parks and a Georgia Camper's Guide, write the Georgia Department of Commerce, 100 State Capitol, Atlanta. Cox press in Georgia. These people claim Vandiver for their very own and he has staked his political future, which is a short-term proposition, on the endorsement of this press so obnoxious and so foreign to the fundamental thinking of the rank and file of Georgians.

P> S X Fire House: PO 7-3004 „ , u FIRE MARSHALL AUGUST 5, 1961 . D . NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF MOUNTAIN VIEW AND CLAYTON COUNTY From the Mountain View Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. A news story in the Forest Park News of this week quotes remarks allegedly made by one Calvin E. Stewart, Councilman of Mountain View, that reflect on the honesty and integrity of the Officers and men of this Fire Department. Mr. Stewart apparently states that the Fire Department conspired with members of the City Council to accept a donation of $500.00 from the City and thot this money was to be paid to Mr. Rex Reeves who is, according to Mr. Stewart, City Attorney of Mountain View. And further, Mr. Stewart allegedly claims that the Fire Department has withheld its financial records from the public and even from the Fire Department members. This is to state that Mr. Stewart's claims are completely and absolutely untrue and false and the Department challenges Mr. Stewart to come forward and try to prove his charges. In the first place, Mr. Reeves is not now and has never been appointed as City Attorney of Mountain View at any time and has never submitted a bill for services to the City or to members of the Council, nor has he stated any intention of doing so, according to a majority of the Mayor and Council; so this makes Mr. Stewart's charge baseless on the face of it. Further, the Fire Department keeps a complete set of books showing income and outgo and pays all disbursements by Fire Department Check with double signature being required, and further that complete financial reports of all money coming in and paid out are read to the members at the business meetings each month. The Fire Department books are audited by an accountant each year and the books are always open at any time requested. All interested persons are invited to attend the Fire Dept, meetings and inspect the books arty Friday Nite between 8:00 and 9:30 at their convenience. MOUNTAIN VIEW VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, INC. demands wing tags on all pro cessed chickens sent into that state. In retaliation, the commis sioner of Agriculture of Georgia, Phil Campbell, has levied an in spection fee of ten cents a box on all citrus fruits coming into Georgia from Florida. No doubt this action on the part of the Florida Department of Agriculture is brought about by a sincere desire on the part of Florida officials to promote and bolster the chicken business in Florida which is very small at this time. I am constrained to say that j this arbitrary position on the I part of our neighbors is indeed i silly and will bring about future j economic reprisals which are not | healthy to the states concerned. The unfortunate thing about ; actions of this kind is that it is the fanner who “gets it in the RI " HERMAN TALMADGE H Reports From WASHINGTON isiahs®«ss«!lh ®Ss»as,. BY PROVOKING A crisis over Berlin, Nikita Khrushchev unwittingly has done the Ameri can people a great favor. The threats of the Soviet Dic tator and President Kennedy’s firm and forth right response that the Unit ed States will not be bluffed by them have shattered com placency in this country as nothing else could have done. The situation as it has developed has imparted a needed sense of urgency to efforts to build a defense estab lishment of sufficient size and capacity to meet and turn back any assault of any magnitude which the Russians may decide to unleash. It has forced a rec ognition on the part of those in high places.that freedom cannot be defended successfully by sub stituting dollar diplomacy for ready divisions. THERE IS NO place in a struggle for survival such as that in which we are engaged for weakness, vacillation or ap peasement and the Russians had read all three into our previous policies characterized by reac tion and retreat in the face of their repeated successes in whip sawing us from crisis to crisis. Soviet Ambassador Menshikov had smugly observed that the Americans would not fight for Berlin. Khrushchev now is on notice that not only did his Ambassa dor sadly miscalculate the tem per of the American people but also that he, by his own belliger ence, has aroused them to the f.Vot prepared or printed at government erpeneeX neck”. Georgia chicken produc ers are damaged by taxes and hampered by pestiferous regula tions in Florida, and Florida cit rus growers are penalized ten cents a box on citrus fruits ex ported to Georgia. Under this kind of arrangement the farm ers of both states lose. If Georgia and Florida would WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1961 point of proving it. At long and refreshing last the tables have been turned on the Kremlin and it now’ is up to the Soviets to react to our action for a change. Whether they put up or back down, they will brand them selves as either the aggressors or bluffers they are. The new American posture will also mean that this nation will be prepared to negotiate the Berlin and other world issues from a position of strength. Mr. Kennedy correctly and effective ly left the door to the conference room open, provided Khrushchev is willing to enter it in the spirit of the protestations of good in tentions which he often avows but has yet to demonstrate. * * » SO LONG AS Berlin remains a divided city 110 miles within the territory of Communist East Germany it will continue to pose a threat to world peace. That fact alone makes it absolutely essential that, while we must ami will fight to uphold our treaty rights there, we must continue to explore every possi ble avenue for resolving with honor an intolerable legacy of the fuzzy diplomacy which ac companied and followed World War 11. The American people have al ways been long-suffering and forebearing in their foreign re lations, but once aroused they have never failed to prove the equal of any challenge. If Khrushchev does not believe that, he is in for a rude awaken ing at Berlin. His Caribbean puppet, Castro, would do well to take notes. appoint a committee of three men each, three chicken pro ducers from Georgia and three citrus growers from Florida, and give this joint committee power to act, this trouble will be re solved in less than ten minutes. Restrictive taxes between states are tariffs and tariffs are foolish.
