Local Student
Named Counselor
At Rock Eagle
A Clayton County college stu
dent has landed a choice sum
mer job. Winifred MacAllaster.
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
MacAllaster of Ellenwood, will be
a 1964 4-H Club camp counselor
at Rock Eagle.
Mrs. Joye H. Spates, home
demonstration agent, who an
nounced her appointment, said
Winky will spend seven weeks at
the 4-H Center this summer
helping more than 7,000 boys
and girls with their camping
program.
The Rock Eagle season opens
June 29, and 103 county 4-H
groups will participate in the
camping program there this
year.
Winky will join 56 other coun
selors in presenting a well
rounded schedule of instruction,
inspiration, and recreation that
has helped Rock Eagle gain
nation-wide recognition since it
was opened in 1955.
The local girl’s primary duty
will be to provide instruction
and leadership in Arts and
Crafts. She also will assist with
vesper programs, general assem
blies, recreational activities, and
other phases of the camping
program.
Mrs. Spates said serving as a
camp counselor at Rock Eagle
has become one of the most
sought-after summer jobs for
senior 4-H members. Four-H
leaders with the Cooperative Ex
tension Service, University of
Georgia, choose only a small
percentage of those who apply.
For the most part, the Rock
Eagle counselors are college stu
dents, and the pay they receive
for their summer’s work is in the
form of a scholarship. Winky is
a junior at the University of
Gerogia, where she is majoring
in Home Economics.
Curosity, when you boil* it

THERE HAVE BEEN grow
ing indications in recent weeks
that the American people reject
the philosophy that special
classes of citizens should be
granted special privileges to the
deprivation of the rights of
others.
It has been encouraging to
see that the
people in in
creasing num
bers are be
coming aware
of just how
far - reaching
the so - called
Civil Rights
Bill is. More
and more people, as they become
familiar with the real issues in
volved, are speaking out against
it, both to the congressmen and
at the ballot box.
Their voices are being heard,
but it is difficult to be optimistic
about turning the tide. Unfor
tunately, a large number of Sen
ators were committed to support
such legislation as this before
they took the oath of office, not
withstanding the grass roots op
position.
* * #
THE PEOPLE of this country
stand firmly behind the principle
that all citizens are entitled to
the full unhindered enjoyment
of their constitutional rights,
and this is as it should be. But
they rebel at the proposition
that some citizens are entitled
to preferential treatment under
the law and more rights than
others.
They are beginning to see that
this mis-named force legislation
protects no civil rights not alt

ready well-protected by existing
law, but instead creates extra
ordinary rights for some, while
expending federal control over
the liberties and property of
everyone.
Besides making private prop
erty meaningless and installing
the federal government as the
senior partner in almost every
business in the nation, this bill
would confer such vast power
upon the Attorney General that ,
he could tell people how to run
their affairs and have them
jailed if they don’t comply.
» » *
IN MY OPINION, if the peo
ple were given the opportunity
to express their views in a na
tional referendum, they would
soundly defeat the Civil Rights
Bill. There is not likely to be
such an opportunity, but those
of us here in the Senate oppos
ing this legislation will continue
to do all that we can to reveal
it for what it really is.
I believe we are making prog
ress at the grass roots level and
it is being felt by proponents of
the bill. Where the advocates of
the measure adamantly insisted
at first that it should and would
be passed as it came from the
House, there now are indications
that certain changes will be at
tempted.
However, when we are dealing
with individual liberty and prop
erty rights, I do not believe
there is any area for compro
mise. This bill deserves only
defeat.
CHERRY DISMISSAL

Chairman Adamson said he
was “firmly convinced Earl i
Crerry is doing all he can to
create bad publicity for our
school system."
He said Mr. Cherry was “not
entitled to any hearing” because j
“he will drag the whole school
system in the mud if he can.”
Mi Cherry, contacted after 1
the meeting, said Mr. Edmonds
had made “a personal and pro
fessional attack but insists I
have no right to answer his i
charges.” I
