The Special Breed
Dedicated to Our Governor and Members of the General Assembly of Georgia as
an expression of good will from the Association County Commissioners of Georgia
Those who dare to serve the public are a special breed of men
Who know that cheers, and sometimes jeers, will greet them now and then,
But they have dedication that transcends a world of doubr
As they humbly do their duty from within and from Without.
They're the men who make decisions that affect us, one and all.
In the ouiet of an office or a legislative hall.
They must wrestle with the problems we submit to them to solve
In a fair, impartial manner and a state of high resolve.
And in Georgia we are lucky that the standards are so high
That they stand as shining beacons bright against a southern sky.
In the counties and the cities and throughout the state at large
We have men who hold that honor is to them a precious charge.
In Our Chief we have a leader who pursues with all his might
What is best for cv’ry person, each according to his right.
Without doubt or fear or favor his decisions are attained
By a simple rule of conscience: What have the people gained?
And assembled from each cranny of our grand and growing state
Are a host of legislators with a faith for any fate
That will better and ennoble and will set Our State anart
As they answer to the pleadings of the mind and of the heart.
Theirs is not a labor tempered by the lure of gold or fame
Or the plaudits of the.people who would give them wild acclaim;
Better, far, it is the searching for a nobler, finer goal
That will understand the yearnings of an understanding soul.
Those who dare to serve the public often feel the critic’s heel
As they strive to do their duty and protect the common weal;
But their true reward is ample when they've answered ev’ry test
And realized within themselves they've done their utter best.
Let us, then, accord them honor in a measure full and true
For knowing what is best for all and with the will to do;
Salute them, all, in accents clear no matter where or when:
This gallant band who bless our land — this special breed of men.

Letters
TO THE EDITOR
February 1, 1964
Gentlemen;
We enclose for your informa
tion a copy of a letter from the
City of Mountain View to this
Department Terminating the
Contract under which we have
provided Fire Protection for the
City Limit area. This action was
taken by the new Council with
out prior discussion with this
Department and no reason has
been given for their withdrawal
of support.
The Mountain View Volunteer
Department is a Chartered Non-
Profit Corporation owned and
operated by the Members as a
Community service and has no
paid members or employees now
is it a part of the City Govern
ment in any respect.
Southeastern Underwriters As
sociation made a survey of our
equipment, personnel and sta
tion several years ago and
awarded our Fire Limit area,
(City Limits of Mountain View),
a reduction in Insurance Rates
from “Unprotected No. 10 to No.
BAA which saves the area up to
40% in Fire Insurance costs for
all insurance in force in the
City.
For several years after its for
mation in 1957 the Department
operated and bought equipment
on proceeds from various fund
raising projects such as Barbe
cues, Watermelons, Christmas
Tree sales, etc., and some dona
tions. The Volunteers no longer
have the use of the lot on Old
41 Highway where most of the
activities were held and this
fact along with the "cut-off” by
the City has raised some con
cern as to just what will be the
future course of the Depart
ment. We have enough money in
the Treasury to operate for ap
proximately 6 months if no
Ross is the vain one. He didn't want to smile too wide be
cause of the big hole where some teeth should be. But he
just couldn't help it.
This is the family of the man who would be your repre
sentative in the State House of Representatives.
He is the man who, in the fall of 1963, spearheaded a
drive to get every qualified person in Riverdale to regis
ter to vote. They got all but ten —a record probably un
equalled anywhere else in the nation. Arch Gary wasn't
running for anything then; he's just a stickler for using
the most precious privilege we have — our vote.
He is the man so completely dedicated, that, during his
administration as Mayor of Riverdale, the city was al
most tripled in size. When he was elected in 1962, city

major breakdown occurs in the
equipment and beyond that
■ there are no definite plans, at
j this time, as to what our status
; will be after that time. We
: thought our Contract with the
> City was a very equitable ar
: rangement as it gave the City
; fire protection at a fraction of
the cost of a paid City Depart
> ment and it gave the City a
; valuable service to offer the per-
I sons and business firms for the
City Business Licenses charged.
At our January meeting of the
Board of Directors of the De-
I partment there was discussion
. of going on a “Subscription”
i basis whereby each resident and
business would pay a small fee
each year to the Department for
fire protection and this fee
. would go toward covering our
. fixed utility costs and equipment
repair and replacement. This
system is used by several fire
departments in Georgia however
’ the Underwriters Association
; does not allow for a rate reduc
tion on insurance for such serv
ice and we would so lose our BAA
rating in Mountain View.
Also discussed was the idea of
keeping the Department going
as long as we can on the money
on hand and then if necessary
disband the Fire Department
and dispose of the equipment
and donate the proceeds to some
youth activity. This idea was re
jected by the Board except as a
last resort.
It is hoped that some form of
contract with the City may be
worked out on the basis of the
former deal where the City will
continue to provide Fire Protec
tion through the Department as
it has in the past year through
mutual understanding and co
operation for building a better
Fire Department and better

Gentlemen:
This is to inform you that the
Mayor and Council of the City
of Mountain View met on Jan
uary 7, 1964 and voted to termi
nate your contract with the
City. The following is a duplicate
of that motion made:
“Queen made a motion to give
the Mountain View Fire Depart
ment a 90-Day notice to termi
nate their contract, and to have
the City Clerk forward this
notice. Poole seconded the mo-

limits comprised a little over 400 acres. Now they take
in close to 1100.
He is the man who knows only one way to get things
done — wark. That's the biggest human asset we know
of when it comes to public service.
He is the man who, through shirt-sleeve experience,
knows the amazing potential of the county he lives in
and loves. He wants to turn its glowing future into the
present as fast as he can.
He's got the experience, the ability, the principles, the
determination to become one of the finest and most
effective representatives Clayton County ever had.
Vote for Arch Gary. You couldn't find a better man.
