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.

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.” THE FREEZE “The so-called wage and price freeze, as it is now being applied, is a cruel hoax on the working man, the housewife and the farmer.

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 controls cannot stop runaway inflation when uncontrolled government spending rolls up a deficit totaling eighty-seven billion dollars over a three-year period. We are fast approaching the zero hour when people no longer have confidence in the country’s dollars to provide them with a decent life. As United States Senator, I pledge to join with the responsible elements of the Congress to restore sanity to government spending. We can and we must make the federal government lead the way in fighting runaway inflation instead of leading the way in causing in flation.” FOREIGN AID “The net cost of our foreign aid assistance program from 1946 to 1971, including interest on what we have borrowed to give away, amounts to $212,880,000,000.

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, $43,700,000; Czechoslovakia. $189,500,000; Haiti, $117,200,000; India, $8,003,600,000; Poland, $437,300,000.

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 tion to be in the best interest of the United States.” THE DRUG PROBLEM “We have got to stop talking about the narcotics epidemic in this country and do something positive to counteract it.

"Die average 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 hard drugs. When addiction to an illegal drug can be medically established, it PAGE 9-A 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 cinations and quarantines, 1 propose that suspected addicts be required to submit, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to a medical evaluation under due process.

"Hie addict should be entitled to a discharge from a treatment center only upon medical certification that he is no longer addicted; or, upon certification that he can be treated on an out patient basis with no danger to himself or to society. As United States Senator, I will work for the establish ment and funding of a fully equipped, adequately staffed drug rehabilitation center in Atlanta, utilizing in voluntary procedures when necessary. I want this center established as a pilot project so that admissions and treatment procedures can be refined to render the fullest possible service in the near future to other localities throughout the nation. I pose this question to the people of Georgia - would you rather have addicts r emoved from the streets 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?”
