Abe Fortes No Break
As. Chief Justice
Abe Fortas for Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States is no break for the Ameri
can people. LBJ in picking an old friend. Fortas. has chosen
one and join in action to make law and order a reality in
stead of an idle phrase. Just maybe.
It has been a surprise to date that Resurrection City
was closed down without inspiring more riots. The cost to
the American people for storing inhabitants' belongings at
government expense and restoring the beautiful plot of
ground in Washington. D. C . will be considerable. For once
the government didn't scare at the threat of Negro leaders
and closed down a despicable place where crime was the
rule rather than the exception
Imagine what the Negro element has done to the Na
tion s Capital. Tourists love to visit Washington and take
their children to visually teach them part of America's
heritage.
But there has been so much crime and violence in Wash
ington—although ruled by a Negro mayor named Washing
ton—that tourist business has dropped to a minimum It’s
not safe for residents to walk the streets at night That is
a fine how-de-do in the Nation s Capital.
Big Brothers Share
Flying in Country
The boy walked rapidly toward the sleek, single
engine aircraft. His excitement obvious as he slid into
the cockpit and secured his seatbelt. He looked at the
man seated beside him and smiled as the man’s hands
expertly manipulated the complicated controls and the
engine roared to life.
the plane taxied down the
runway, gathered momentum
and in one brief instant they
were airborn, one man and one
boy experiencing once again
the wonder of soaring through
the clouds and, for a brief
time, leaving the realm of the
familiar to explore the vast
world of space beyond.
The boy’s name is Greg
Cates. Greg is a handsome, “all
boy" sort of youngster who, at
the ripe old age of 14. is an
experienced flyer and an avid
airplane enthusiast. The man is
Dave Haag, a commercial pilot
for Eastern Airlines. Dave is
Greg's "Big Brother”.
This particular adventure,
made possible by Bill Galloway
and the South Expressway
Airport in Jonesboro, is one of
many which Dave and Greg
had had together, llying,
however, is only one of the
many things they do and the
adventures they share. They
also fish, hunt, putter around
Dave’s home in DeKalb
County, and enjoy a wealth of
experiences together.
Greg’s mother, Mrs. Mary
Cates, turned to Big Brothers
because she recognized the
need of her son’s for masculine
companionship. An intelligent
woman and a good mother,
Mrs. Cates realized she could
not be all things to her boys.
Greg has three brothers and
one sister. Two of his brothers
also have Big Brothers. Because
the guiding philosophy of the
program is “One Man One
Boy”, each boy has his own

Republicans
Boast Five
Candidates
With the announcement last
week of Mr. Jim Wells as
candidate for post No. 2,
House of Representatives,
