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 ’.

(PRN) TOUR GEORGIA (fifnte < o/y/fc/v&ntuhe. 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.

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.
