In the General Election to be held m November,
1968, the people of Clayton County will decide on
the type of representation they wish in the Leg
islature of this State
The voice of the people can only be heard
through the elected officials of theyr state When
this voice is silent, si: is the voice of the people.
The Supreme Court of the United States has
taken Bible reading out of our schools It permits
Communists to teach atheism to our children.
When elected officials of this state, as a majority,
remain silent, then they are not representing the
feelings of all the people, and certainly not the
people of Clayton County
I feel that any rulings or laws passed on by The
Supreme Court or Federal Government effect all
of the people of this state, and certainly the peo
ple of Clayton County. The opinions of the peo
ple of the county should be expressed through
their representatives When there is only a voice
of silence by representatives then the people con
tinue to lose more and more of their states rights
Our right to govern ourselves is guaranteed by
1 he Constitution of The United States. I feel that
the people do NOT want to be governed by bu
reaucrats and theoreticians in Washington
I will represent the people of Clayton County
first. I will not necessarily vote for all legislative
bills put forth in the State Legislature by The
Republican Party. I will certainly support good
legislation introduced by the Democratic Party
I will vote only as I feel in my heart, the people
I represent would have me do I feel strongly that
we have excessive taxation and our Personal
Property Rights have been taken away by “The
Great Society." I feel that each citizen should
work for a living if physically able. That waste
of taxpayers' money in form of "Welfare" takes
away the desire to work and the pride of the in
dividual, That it only results in an increase in
personal and property taxes.
For these reasons I offer myself as a Candidate
to the voters of Clayton County Your vote and
support will be appreciated

HERE ARE Milton McDonald, principal of Babb Jr. High,
Mack Jennings, principal of Forest Park Jr. High, Mrs.
Sam Lowe, president of Clayton County PTA Council, and
David Hawkins, assistant principal of Babb Jr. High, dis
cussing some of the questions of how PTA can be better
used to open the lines of communications between the
parents, teachers and the child, at the principals and PTA
presidents and council memebrs, at the annual discussion
group held at the Babb Jr. High June 18.
PTA Council Is Host
To Principals and PTA
“As a child dresses so
thinketh him", is the opinion
and proven fact of many
educators today, that the
parallel of sloppy dress and
school study habits. This and
many more problems were
discussed at the Babb Jr. High
Tuesday. June 18, when PTA
Council held its second annual
Principal and PTA’s discussion
group.
( layton County PTA’s for
some time felt that to bring
home and school closer
together, PTAs needed to
understand the problems,
opinions, and standards of the
school administers. So it began
I last year of inviting PTA
| presidents and principals to a
। round table discussion groups
i to discuss how PTAs could
j better help. At the request of
I the school principals it was
| repeated again this year!
We read of riots, of sit ins,
general unrest in colleges of
today, and we wonder if this
r could start happening in high
J schools'.’ Ihe overall opinions of
these educators was ‘‘YES’’, in
our own county. There are
signs already. Some of these
signs are disrespect for any
authority, disrespect for
property, theirs or others,
vandalism is on the rise on
school property in Clayton
County.
One principal said, “the
money spent on replacing
windows alone could be used
to furnish every child with
added educational material,
library books, or more PE.
equipment, besides the
manpower used to replace the
windows.”
These principals are not
speaking of windows broken
by accidents such as baseballs
or during chool hours, these

Volkswagen’s automatic stick shift.
It’s easier to use than it is to say.
It’s quite a mouthful, isn't it?
But once you get by the name, the rest
is easy.
There isn't a clutch pedal to contend
with.
And for all practical purposes, you
can drive everywhere without shifting.
On the highway, you shift once. (This
is like an overdrive: you go faster, your
engine goes slower, and your automatic
bug won t turn into an automatic hog.)
And when the going gets rough (like

are 12 or 14 broken in one
night in "one” school. Not just
once a year but often several
times a year.
Every Clayton County
principal whether elementary,
Jr. High, or senior High takes a
deep pride in his school. They
even patrol their schools at
night. One said he even has
slipped back into his school
waiting to curtail some of the
vandalism in the schools.
Where is school pride? Where
are the parents? Where are the
citizens whose tax money is
going for such acts? Where is the
end?
These and more questions
were asked and some answers
were given but the over all
feeling of principals are that
the school could not do the “
home work" of the parents. So
next year, PTAs of Clayton
County will be urged to study
these problems and to discuss
the future of our young and of
the school problems. Programs
and study groups will be going
on in your PTA next year and
it is up to you as a citizen and
as a parent to ake part.
Maybe even the “best”
parents need to reevaluate their
own home standards and goals,
because a principal, teacher, or
school administor can only
help to build on a foundation
that parents have given a child
at home!
Respect for authority, for
property, for themselves begins
at home and not at "school”!
Patriotism depends as much
on mutual suffering as on
mutual success, and it is by
[ that experience of all fortunes
and all feelings that a great
national character is created.
