Gov. Maddox
Visits
Morrow
School
On Tuesday afternoon.
May 14, Morrow School had
a surprise visitor. Gov. Les
ter Maddox came to the
school office and asked for
the principal, Mrs. Olive
Matthews; the secretary
stepped into Mrs. Matthews’
office and told her, “The
Governor would like to see
you." You're kidding, she
said. Then Governor Maddox
came in and said he had
promised a little first-grade
girl that he would come by
for a visit to her school.
The Governor was con
ducted on a tour to every
classroom, meeting the
teachers and being welcomed
with enthusiasm by the
children. He was especially
pleased with the sixth
graders, who were having a
P.E. class, and the skill they
displayed. Morrow will have
six students to compete in
state-wide competition at
Athens, soon. However, the
interest of a first-grader in
her state government
prompted his visit to Mor
row.
The Governor’s visit came
about as a result of Mrs.
Gloria Householder's first
grade class, watching a TV
program of the Governor’s
State of the Union message.
After the program, the stu
dents were asked to draw a
picture showing what they
were most appreciative for in
our State Government.

Willie H. Huddleston has
qualified as a candidate for
the State Senate District No.
44 in the Republican Pri
mary, Sept. 11. 1968. State
Senate District No. 44 is
made up of Clayton and
Henry counties.
“I wish to introduce legis
lation creating a commis
sion for the purpose of
equalizing pension being
paid to retired state and
county workers, to be put in
line with retired politicians.
A man who has worked for
the state for thirty years is
just as deserving as a politi
cian who has served in an
elective position for thirty
years or less. I fully realize
the opposition from certain
forces who have been pen
alizing the taxpayers,” Mr.
Huddleston said.
