**A Prtae Winning Georgia Newspaper Celebrating 100 Years of Service” The Houston Home Journal BOBBY BRANCH President-Editor-Publisher MAXINE THOMPSON Assistant Editor WOFFORD SINYARD Production Manager Published Every Thursday By THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, INC. 6. OODEN PERSONS. Vice. Pre». LEWIS M. MEEKS, tcc.-Treas. Entered At Perry, Georgia Post Office 31069 As Second Class Mail Matter The Perry Exchange Club, along with the National Exchange Clubs, honored Perry’s Doctor A. G. Hend rich last week by presenting him with their “Book of Golden Deeds Award”. The special award by the Exchang ites goes to people in the community who have given unselfishly of them selves to serve others. We can’t think of anyone in Perry who deserves such an award more than Dr. Hendrick. He has served the people of this community for many years by helping those in need of medical attention. He has always help ed people when they needed help with no regard to the lateness of the hour or the amount of miles between his office and the person who needed his assistance. We are pleased to report that the tourist business in Perry is better than ever. Motels in Perry have been filling up every night in recent weeks and Interstate 75 traffic grows heavier by the day. Tourism becomes more important to Perry every day. Perry is already well known nation-wide by tourists as a good place to spend the night and have a good meal. Tourists like the hospitality they find in Perry and they know they never have to fear “clip joints” or any other unsavory places that have plagued tourists in other sections of Georgia. We are told that when Florida’s Dis ney World opens next year that the number of tourists passing through We want to remind our readers not to get confused on how to vote in the September 9 primaries. We have al ready heard of some confusion by voters who want to vote for a Repub lican Gubernatorial candidate and a Democratic candidate for Lt. Govern or in the primary. You can’t do that. Some voters may be confused and disappointed when they go to the polls in tbe party primaries on Sept. 9. What the voter has *to do is ask for either a Democratic ballot or a Repub lican ballot. A voter can’t cross over on his, voting in the primaries. You have to be either Donkey or Elephant. VoCerS can cross over the party lines in the General election in November and many do at that time. So, every voter who casts a ballot in the pri maries must declare himself a Demo crat or Republican whether he likes it It’s that time of year when many families are packing up for a vacation of a week or a weekend. A vacation can vary in length, the amount of money a family spends . . . and en joyment. A minister in Carrollton, Ga. sum med up a vacation this way: While getting away from it all, it all got away from you. A vacation is something you think you can’t afford. A vacation is when you discover why the teacher wasn’t wrong about your children’s behavior. The man of the house having the boss telling when he can take a vaca tion and his wife telling where they Perry’s Dr. Hendrick Tourists Like Perry Voters Must Declare The Ole’ Vacation Dr. Hendrick is a truly dedicated physician and the “Golden Deeds” he has done in the lifetime of his profes sion will live long after he has gone. Dr. Hendrick, in the true manner of himself, says that he plans to keep right on going and taking care of his paients and those who need him. We’ve been around Perry for five years and we haven’t seen Dr. Hend rick slow down at all. We suspect he’s going at the same rate now that he was 20 years ago. He is indeed a re markable and rare man and we all owe him a deep debt of gratitude for his unselfish service to mankind and for his devotion to his profession and his community. —B. B. Perry on Interstate 75 might increase as much as three times. Perry is fast approaching 1,000 rooms available to tourists and we have plenty of good restaurants and service stations to handle the constant flow of tourists through our town. We welcome tourists. We know that tourism is one of the biggest indus tries we have in Perry and we think we should all do what we can to con tinue to promote Perry nation wide as a good place to spend a night or a week. Perry is on the move more than any other community in Middle Geor gia in tourism, industrial, business and residential growth. —B. B. or not. ... You might not be either, but you still have to say you are if you want to vote in the primaries. The Home Journal plans to publish sample ballots in both Uje primary elections and the General elections so that voters can get a look at the lineup before they go to the polls. We can't help but remember what happened in the primary of 1966 when Republicans in Georgia pulled the goof of all time for their party by crossing over and voting for Lester Maddox because they thought h e would be the easiest candidate for their man (Bo Callaway) to beat. Didn’t work that way and now the pri mary laws have been changed since then. It's time to begin thinking about your candidate. . . . And your party. And away we go. —B. B. are going to go. A period of time long enough for your boss to miss you. but not long enough for him to discover he can’t get along without you. A time that goes faster than the fastest jet. A time when families discover each other. When all the roads you had marked for the trip are under construction. That’s all part of the famous Ameri can vacation. It has become away of life. We hope you enjoy your vacation this summer. . . . And remember this; If you come home as happy as you left, you had a good vacation. —B. B. J\A axins Things You Read In Papers a drive-in clinic is operated by three pediatricians in All ant a. It works a little like a motel. Mom parks in front of a door with a vacancy sign, takes her child in, locks the door and flips a switch that tells the doctor they have arrived. That way, the little patients don’t swap infections and such in the wait ing room. That’s fine for the tots, but I don’t think it will ever catch on for the mamas. It would take all of the pleas ure out of some of their lives if they couldn’t sit and swap symptoms and operations with perfect strangers in the waiting room. Why, lifelong friendships have sprung up that way. * • * * * Students at a Vancouver secondary school learned hobo sign language. That brings to mind the depression years, to those of us old enough to have lived through them. There was the story of one house in a town where it seemed every hobo who landed showed up for a handout. Finally, in desperation, the man of the house asked one of the men if he could tell him the reason. The man promised to reveal it—after his meal. Sure enough, after eating, he took his host outside and pointed up to the room. There, among the angles and turns of the old-fashiopjed roof, sat a five-gallon can left from some repair job and never brought down. “Word was passed to me that when 1 hit this town just look around for the house with a big can on the roof for a good meal,” he said. * * * * * An article said that you shouldn’t let your dog watch TV for more than an hour a day. It said that if the dog watched TV for three or four hours it became highly nervous and snappish and suffered acute loss of appetite. Strange, that’s the exact effect it LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I think the senate should be inquiring about the seem ingly unlimited power of the Supreme Court instead of inquiring about President has on me. (However, I can’t remem ber when I’ve been able to stand watching it that long at one time.) It works just the opposite on kids, though. Try turning the thing off and all of the above symptoms prevail, with bells on. * * « * * A bandit in Spain held up a man, looked in his wallet,, then handed it back to him saying, “We do not rob the poor.” Seems the wallet contained the equivalent of eighty-two cents in our money. Seldom would the pickings be that good in my pocketbook. Nevertheless, I guard it zealously. What would I do without my driver’s license, social security card, credit cards, kids’ pictures, old records of polio immunizations, clippings from newspapers* claim tickets from the cleaners and shoe shop, cosmetics, ex tra roll of film, keys, address book, check book, pen and junior size legal pad for notes, and a few dozen other assorted goodies included bifocals, sunglasses and wadded kleenex? * * * * * They named the Everglades Park way “Alligator Alley”. I’m sure glad they warned me. That’s enough to in sure that I’ll travel in the opposite di rection any chance I get. Even a poster of a sport-shirted gator with sun glasses and baseball cap leaves me cold. Anyone who is scared of a little green chameleon or a rain frog isn’t likely to warm up to a gator. ***** A Juvenile Court Judge in West Virginia proposed leaving a public park open past midnight for teen agers, because they need a public place to park. I wonder if that Judge was born old, maybe skipping teen-age entirely. What I want to know is how he’s go ing to induce them to park in public. If I remimber correctly, teenagers prefer to park in private. Nixon’s right to send troops into Cambodia. The Presi dent of the United States is commander in chief of the army and navy, and he di rects the movement of the entire military force of the national government. There is an old saying about barking up the wrofcg tree, and this will certainly apply to those senators who are questioning the presi dent’s authority in sending troops into Cambodia where the enemy has dug in. They would run across the line in to South Vietnam and kill and run back and jump in their hide-outs. For months ppp|r our troops were forbidden to cross the line and chase them. The right tree for our sen ators to bark up is to ques tion the ruling power of the Supreme Court. If this pow er is not curbed soon, this Court will take all power away from the states and will be issuing mandates to all of us. The purpose of the Su preme Court is to interpret law and apply it in cases brought before it, but not to make laws. GEO. R. HUNT Kathleen, Ga. Bobby Branch i Pabst Folks The official word that Pabst Brewing Com pany would build a $45 million brewery near Per ry, came in January ox 1968. Many people in Perry just couldn’t believe that this community was go ing to get such an industry so big that it would be the biggest single boost to the economy of this area since Robins Air Force Base. Some people still don’t fully understand the magnitude of the giant brewery here. Pabst will probably get into operation some time in August or the first of September. What is the Pabst Brewery going to mean to this area? For one thing, it’s going to mean that about 500 people will be working at the plant. It’s also going to mean about S2V2 million annually poured into our economy. A number of both Pabst and Continental Can Co. employees have moved into Perry. Many of them have already built homes here and taken an active role in community life. I know many of these people. Some are my neighbors. They are all good citizens and Perry is proud to have them and their companies as part of the community. Mr. Windham I enjoyed a brief visit here Friday with Pabst President James C. (Jim) Windham, Pabst Vice President Augie Pabst and Southeastern Manager for Pabst Bill Graham, among others from the brewery in Milwaukee. The Pabst folks had flown into Perry for a tour of the plant and didn’t have time to stay long. I like the things I heard Jim Windham and Bill Graham say about Perry. Both men, and all the Pabst officials for that matter, have a deep interest in Perry and the future of the community. You can bank on one thing, the Pabst folks will always do all they can to help move Perry forward. They’re just good citizens and that’s the way they operate. Jim Windham, who has a reputation in the brewing industry of running a <ight ship, is one of the nicest people you would want to meet. He’s a native of Alabama, and you can still catch a trace of his southern accent as you talk to him. You get the feeling right off that when Jim Windham says something he means it. I’ve noticed that all the people I know in the Pabst manage ment team are a little like Mr. Windham and in my book that’s a good way to be. , . . They’re all “Good Ole Time People” brewing the beer with that (“Good Ole Time Flavor” . . . PABST BLUE RIBBON . . . BREWED IN PERRY, GEORGIA. ... WELCOME TO TOWN, NEIGHBORS. AfWSVWWWWVVVWVVVVWWWVWWWVWWVWA Ii * Think About It * I 1 1 In May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the Al- j ;« lied Forces obtained a copy of some of the “Com- ■ jl munist Rules for Revolution”. Nearly 50 years 1 jl later, the Reds are still following them. After I 11 reading the list, stop after each item and think J 1[ about the present day situation where you live— j jl and all around the nation. We quote from the Red i jl Rules: ! • J A. Corrupt the young; get them away from re- J I[ ligion. Get them interested in sex. Make them su- J I» perficial; destroy their ruggedness. B. Get control of all means of publicity, there- • jl by: 1 • | 1. Get people’s minds off their government by J Ij focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, | jl plays and other trivialities. 2. Divide the people into hostile groups by con- • 1 1 stantly harping on controversial matters of no im- 1 1| portance. I lj 3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural J 1 1 leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, rich- j jl cule and disgrace. 11 4. Always preach true democracy, but seize I lj power as fast and ruthlessly as possible. J Ji 5. By encouraging government extravagance, J jl destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with j jl rising prices and general discontent. ,■ ij 6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, J lj encourage civil disorders and foster lenient and J J i soft attitude on the part of government toward J jl such disorders. jl 7. By specious argument cause the breakdown i Ij of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, self- 1 Ij restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. J J i C. Cause the registration of all firearms on | ; jj some pretext, with a view to confiscation of them j 1 1 all and leaving the population helpless. !j That was quite a list, wasn’t it? Now stop and I J • think—how many of these rules are being carried J jl out in this nation today? I don’t see how any think- ] j[ ing person can truthfully say that the Communists ] I[ do not have any part in the chaos that is upsetting i Ji our nation. Or is it just one big coincidence? J!
