THE SHAPE
OF YOUR FACE
The hairdo that looks
good on your friend is not
necessarily the right one
for you. What looks good on
one woman does not
always complement the
next woman. The shape of
your face is a primary
consideration when
selecting a new hair style.
l aces can be generally
categorized by shapes.
take a look at one of
these - the square face. If
your face has this shape
then be sure to stay with
hairdos which accentuate
roundness, such as a high
crown Medium length hair
is your best bet. Make it
full, and curled under to
give the effect of round
ness
These are only a couple
of the trade secrets which
our beauticians employ in
styling hair. Each woman’s
hair needs individual at

Some say that because
Vietnam was an unpopular
war, special consideration
should be given to these draft
dodgers.
Many young people
disagreed with American
policies in Vietnam but
nevertheless did their duty
and responded when their
country called.
And, of course, someone
did serve for every one of the
draftees who fled before his
name was called. The draft
quota was always filled by
others who had to stand in
the places of those who fled.
How would you explain
amnesty to the men who
accepted duty on the line?
How would you explain
amnesty to the relatives and
loved ones of those who
fought and died?
As United States Senator,
I will support federal
prosecution of all
draft dodgers to the full
extent of the law.
We can and we must play
fairly with the memory of
those men who offered their
lives for our country.”

caught in a demoralizing
squeeze In many cases,
wages are indeed frozen
solid. But the bills for food,
utilities and rent are not only
not nailed down, they seem
to be zooming upward daily.
Hit-or-miss price and wage

runaway inflation when
uncontrolled government
spending rolls up a deficit
totaling eighty-seven billion

We are fast approaching

As United States Senator, I

inflation instead of leading

the combined public debt of
all the other nations of the
world. A huge portion of our
nation's debt is directly
attributable to foreign aid.
Here are just a few of the
poor foreign aid investments
we have made during the
past 25 years: Albania,
$20,400,000; Algeria,
$176,100,000; Chile,
$1,281,000,000; Cuba,

$8,003,600,000; Poland,
$437,300,000.
Every folly of which the
Washington bureaucracy is
capable is embodied in our
foreign aid giveaway
program.
As United States Senator,
I pledge to join with
responsible elements in the
Congress in scrutinizing our
foreign aid giveaways and to
vote against any individual
expenditure that can not be
shown to my own satisfac

narcotics addict must steal
approximately S3OO worth of
property each day to support
a SSO a day habit. Most law
enforcement officials agree
that narcotic addiction is the
number one cause of our
increasing crime rate.
I say narcotics epidemic,
and that is what I mean. If
smallpox or TB were
rampaging through our
communities, no time would
be lost in quarantining and
treating those afflicted
without delay for the good of
us all.
What would be your
reaction to a news bulletin
that 5,000 people in the city of
Atlanta have smallpox or
TB?
If narcotics addiction
remains unchecked, the
number of addicts within the
city of Atlanta could be three
times the present number in
the near future.
If all addicts would
volunteer for rehabilitation,
the solution would be sim
plified. However, volun
teerism alone doesn’t work.
Officials at the U.S. Hospital
in Lexington indicate that
the low rate of cure is due to
the volunteer nature of
admission and release.
We must take affirmative
action to eliminate the
demand for heroin and other

becomes our duty to
eliminate this addiction and
rehabilitate the sufferer to a
useful role in society.
I propose that we take
the addict off the street and
turn the drug tragedy from a
potential crime problem into
a medical solution.
In the same manner as
courts recognize society's
rights concerning vac

be entitled to a discharge
from a treatment center only
upon medical certification
that he is no longer addicted;
or, upon certification that he

As United States Senator, I
will work for the establish

Atlanta, utilizing in

established as a pilot project

possible service in the near

throughout the nation.
I pose this question to the
people of Georgia - would
you rather have addicts

and provided with drug
rehabilitation under public
health laws, or would you
rather wait anxiously while
they commit criminal acts
and spread their horrifying
habit?”
