HUDDLESTON SENATE CANDIDATE
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 legislation creating a commission
for the purpose of equalizing pensions 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 politician who
has served in an elective position for thirty years or
less. I fully realize the opposition from certain forces
who have been penalizing the taxpayers,” Mr. Huddle
ston said.
A native of Georgia, Hudleston was educated in the
public school of Fayette County, taking graduate work
in physical education, mental physic and agriculture.
He was with the Department of Agriculture in Clay
ton, Fayette and Coweta counties for 18 years. On leav
ing the Agriculture Department, he went into business
for himself in Clayton County, making 27 years in pub
lic life in Clayton County. He is now president of Hud
dleston Concrete Co., Stockbridge, Ga., Henry County.
He is also president of Concrete Supply Co., Fayette
ville; Huddleston & Bailey Corp., Jonesboro, Ga., and
treasurer of Westchester Corp, and Stockbridge Prop
erties, Inc., Stockbridge, Ga.
An active member of the First Baptist Church of
Jonesboro and other youth and religious work such as
the Atlanta Youth Ranch, Huddleston resides at 2989
Emerald Dr., Jonesboro, with his wife, the former Shir
ley Daniel, of Island, Ky., and his youngest daughter,
Martha Ann.
"I have always taken an active interest in my govern
ment but this is the first time I have felt compelled to
offer myself as a candidate for a State Office. I think
I know the needs and desires of the people of these two
counties as well as anyone. I will be discussing with
you, the voter, the other planks in my platform,” Mr.
Huddleston concluded.
Good Luck to the Grads!

Late Sgt. Campbell
Is Highly Honored
HEADQUARTERS, THIRD U. S. ARMY, Fort
McPherson, Ga. — The Bronze Star Medal with “V”
Device for Valor was presented to Mrs. Charlene Bruce
Campbell, widow of Sergeant Gordon A. Campbell,
in ceremonies here recently. Brigadier General L. B.
Ramsey, Third U.S. Army
Chief of Staff, made the
presentation.
The Bronze Star was
awarded for Sgt. Campbell's
“heroism in connection with
military operations against a
hostile force in the Republic
of Vietnam. Sergeant Camp
bell distinguished himself by
exceptionally valorous ac
tions on January 10, 1968
while serving with Company
A. 21st Infantry, 196th Light
Infantry Brigade. On that
date, his company was con
ducting a search and destroy
mission in the Que Son Val
ley. Sgt. Campbell was on the
right flank, providing flank
security, when the platoon
came under intense fire from
an enemy force of undeter
i mined size. After being
pinned down for about an
hour, Sgt. Campbell detected
hostile movement near his
position. As he placed accu
rate suppressive fire on the
enemy, he began alerting
। the other members of his
squad of the situation. Sgt.
। Campbell's personal bravery
and unquestionable devotion
to duty were in keeping with
the highest traditions of
military service and reflected
great credit upon himself,
the American Division and
the United States Army.”
The Purple Heart was also
; awarded to Sgt. Campbell
i posthumously for wounds re
ceived in action on January
10, 1968 in the Republic of
Vietnam, which resulted in
his death.
Other awards presented to
Mrs. Campbell for her late
husband were The Good
Conduct Medal for exem
plary behavior, efficiency,
and fidelity in active federal
service, during the period of
Feb. 8. 1967, to Jan. 10, 1968;
The National Defense Serv
ice Medal, The Vietnam Serv
ice Medal, The Republic of
Vietnam Medal with At
tached Device, The Combat
Infantryman Badge, and the
Rifle and Machine Gun Ex
pert Badges.
In impressive ceremonies,
Gold Star lapel buttons were
presented by Gen. Ramsey
to Mrs. Campbell and Sgt.
Campbell’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Lindsey Campbell, 207
South Ave., Forest Park. The
Gold Star emblem was given
in recognition of the fact
that their husband and son
lost his life while preserving
our American heritage and
contributing to the defense
of our great country and the
free world.
Also present for the cere
monies were Mr. and Mrs.
C. F. Bruce, the widow’s par
ents, of Dunwoody, Ga., and
service men who have served
in Vietnam.
Prior to entering the mili
tary service, Sgt. Campbell
resided in College Park with
his wife.

Liming
Centipede
Grass
By CHARLES S. TUCKER
County Agent
A major portion of the
problems that Clayton Coun
ty homeowners encounter
with their Centipede lawns
is related to overfertilization.
Centipede has a low fertility
requirement. It will thrive
and grow vigorously for sev
eral years, however, under a
high fertility program.
Growth problems, including
chlorosis, or even death of
the grass is the eventual re
sults of this type of fertility
program. A buildup of phos
phorus in the soil is believed
to be a major reason for the
detrimental effect of the
heavy fertilization of Centi
pede. If a general-purpose
fertilizer is used such as an
8-8-8 or 10-10-10 analysis,
then a single application at
the rate of 10-15 pounds per
1,000 square feet should be
adequate to maintain a mod
erately dense sod.
A fertilizer that is low in
phosphorus, such as a 16-4-8
or 20-5-5, is especially useful
in fertilizing Centipede if the
analysis is available. If a soil
test reveals a high phos
phorus level, then a fertilizer
that does not contain phos-
I phorus, such as a 14-0-14 or
। 15-0-15, would be desirable.
Do not lime Centipede unless
a soil test indicates a need.
Liming can lead to a tie-up
of iron and thus result in
s problems identical to that
| caused by an excessive build-
I up of phosphorus in the soil.
