A LETTER TO THE CITIZENS
OF HOUSTON COUNTY
Please let me take this method of introducing myself
to all of you who may not know me or know anything about
me. I regret that I am not able to speak or meet each of
you individually, but I know of no other eay to do so in the
little time that remains before the primary.
My name is Quinton Moody; my wife’s name is Shirley;
and we have one daughter, Debra, age 18. My purpose in
writing this open letter is to acquaint you with the facts
behind my decision to seek the office of county com
missioner, Post #4, of Houston County, because I am not
a professional politician but a concerned citizen such as
you who have taken time out to read this letter.
Like you, I too share the concern over the multitude of
problems which trouble our city, county, state, and nation,
not as a flagwaver nor as a protestor against everything,
only as a person who is proud of his heritage and wishes
that all might receive the same feeling.
'. ■&%, , ; £V .1
There comes a time in a person’s life when, despite
the odds, he is compelled to do what he thinks should be
done be it personal, public, or political. I believe that
Houston County needs a further change for the better, and
I believe that I have certain qualities which are greatly
needed by the citizens of this county, and which my opponents
does not possess; therefore, I am asking for your vote and
personal support.
There is no honest way a person can predict nor promise
for a certainty that he will do or will not do if he is elected.
This depends upon other factors which may not always
be under his control. He can try to do all that his ability,
health, and personal conscience will permit him to do.
In this respect I am certain that my sound business
principles, experience, ideals, and knowledge of what is
needed for the planning and extension of our county roads
and other construction can be effectively utilized in the
administrative and mechanical day to day operation of our
county. Furthermore, not a single obligation nor debt to
any single interest nor group exists which would keep
me from representing ALL the people of Houston County
and not just a few.
Let me give you a summary of my experience and
qualifications which will benefit you -- the concerned
citizens of Houston County. These are:
After a 23 year career in the Air Force, I
retired and became a successful businessman in
Warner Robins for over nine years. I have served
our county as deputy sheriff for the past four years,
prior to resigning from the Sheriff’s department this
last May in order to devote full time to my campaign
without cost to the county.
During my Air Force career, 1 became thoroughly
familiar with all types of heavy equipment, vehicles,
and their component parts -- especially machines
used for roads and ground construction. At one time
during my military service, my duties (in the Service
Engineers Division) called for dealing with heavy
equipment, grading, building, and the maintenance
of roads for the Air Force.
I retired from the Service as Transportation
Supervisor, This road and construction knowledge
and experience will benefit the county taxpayer,
because we spend thousands of dollars on heavy
equipment, vehicles, and roads. I can save the county
your tax dollars while getting the most value for the
least cost.
While deputy sheriff, I learned first hand about the
problems (and the potential for a real progressive county
government) here in Houston County; and it is for this reason
that I seek the post of your county commissioner for post #4.
My honest pledge and promise as a campaigner are
that if elected, I pledge myslef to work wholeheartedly
for the full development of this area’s great potential
and the prompt resolution of its problems; and I make
only this promise: FAIRNESS TO ALL, HARD WORK,
AND HONESTY.
I am a doer not a sayer -- summing it all up, with your
help and support, the above statements can be proven true
to all residents here in Houston County, if you will let me
show that "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS ’.
PLEASE GIVE ME THAT CHANCE!

HIAWASSEE (PRN) -
Coming up in the cool, green
hills of north Georgia is a time
when the nostalgic city
dweller can witness the almost
lost arts of soap
making . . .wood
carving . . .board
splitting . . .spinning, weaving
and quilting. Visit a mountain
home and general store. Clog
to country music.
All this and more waits at
the Georgia Mountain Fair,
August 4-12.
In its 22nd consecutive
year at Hiawassee, aptly
dubbed Georgia’s “Little
Switzerland” by local citizens,
the annual event has drawn
travellers from almost every
state and from foreign
countries as well. As many as
100,000 visitors swarm over
the activity-packed
fairgrounds each year.
The fair’s uniqueness lies in
its lack of commercial
exhibits. Instead, there are
displays created by local
people -- exquisite
needlework, fresh and
home-canned fruits and
vegetables, hill country
antiques, and prize-winning
flowers. There will be
agriculture, forestry and
wildlife displays; exhibits of
native gemstones, rocks and
minerals, and Indian relics.
Perhaps the most popular
attraction of the fair is the
Pioneer Village. Here is an
old-fashioned general store
Services honored Miss
Foui.se Houser with a buffet
luncheon. Miss Houser is
with an inviting veranda, its
shelves stocked with
necessities ranging from
crackers to coal oil. Adjacent
to the store is a museum of
primitive farm implements --
ox yokes, plow shares,
mule-drawn plows. Nearby is
an authentic mountain
moonshine still and
throughout the Village skilled
craftsmen recreate a lifestyle
of long ago with pottery
making, wood carving,
spinning and weaving, the
grinding of corn meal, the
hand splitting of red oak wood
to make shingles.
Special events include a
country music show, a
mountain doggers convention,
gospel singing, a flower show,
a hog rifle muzzle loading beef
shoot.
Hiawassee is right at
Georgia’s rooftop, within a
yodel of the Appalachian Trail
and Brasstown Bald, the
state’s highest point. Both
private and National Forest
campgrounds abound in this
section of shimmering lakes
and deep woodlands, offering
an extra incentive to the
visitor who wants to enjoy
outdoor mountain life at its
summertime best.

her co-workers, Miss Houser
responded with an ap
propriate comment to the
effect that the employees of
this agency have a unique
opportunity to give services
which benefit not only the
recipients but enrich the
lives of the staff members.
When Miss Houser began
as a caseworker she recalled
that there were only four
staff members. The present
size and scope of the
program is great and results
of this expansion have
provided better living
conditions for a vast number
of residents in this area.
Miss Houser commented
upon this and the satisfac
tions which her work had
provided for her during these
years.
In addition to staff
members, Miss Lenora
Houser, sister of the
honoree, was also present.
A humorous poem was
written by a staff member
and read on this occasion.
