Jo Ann Shipcs, Board of Elec
tions manager, said, “We had noth
ing to base a general election run
off on. The voters surprised us.”
According to Shipes, the Park
wood Elementary precinct had the
most problems with not having
enough ballots.
At press time Covcrdcll had a
slight edge over Fowler state-wide
for lire U.S. Senate position.

related accidents. Patrol officers
doubt any record lows or highs may
be set during this holiday. The
record low number of deaths of four
occurred in 1949 and the record high
in 1969 when 43 occurred.

fcrcncc between a Hag and a rock,
and I can't see anything but more
bad feelings surface if such an
amendment is adopted.
I feel that if we have two state
flags, and businesses and individu
als could choose to display
whichever they choose as Orr sug
gests, Georgia will soon have a
Civil War on its hands; an "it's us
against them" type of situation.
And who will we have to thank?
Orr and Miller that’s who.
Also, one of the main reasons this
whole controversy has been started
in the first place, is some people
feel those coming here from other
countries for the Olympics would
be offended by our present state
Hag. I've already stated before that
most other countries have the same
skeletons of oppression, slavery and
now homelessness, if not worse si
tuations, in their own closets. But,
what would they think if they saw a
state in turmoil, feuding over a
flag?
The whole thing just sounds
ridiculous to mc-the way most leg
islative red tape docs. It's like cut
ting off our hand to get rid of a
sore. It just seems to me that it
would cause more problems than it
would be worth.
We still still live in a Democratic
society, so let the people decide,
just put the issue on a ballot and
let's vote and be done with all this
mess. (Os course I feel the same
way about abortion, the influences
of special interest groups and
PACS.)
It's our government, so let us the
voters, not the guys in Atlanta, be
the final deciding voice.

This could well be the final
judgement on Pearl Harbor; it is a
detailed, reliable, first-hand account
of what those in positions of re
sponsibility admitted under oath in
1944 and 1945. It is Clausen's first
public assessment, (and indictment)
of Pearl Harbor, required reading for
those who seek the facts.

Turkeys, from 1 a
Willie, a tom turkey, is the oldest
turkey Davce owns.
“He’s got a personality about
him. He follows us all the time.”
Davce has eight tom turkeys and
two turkey hens. He said he might
trade some of his tom turkeys for
some hen turkeys if he can find
someone who wants to trade. Coy
otes killed two of Davee’s turkey
hens a while back, and he’d like to
have some more.
He said the family feeds the
turkeys crack com and bird feed.
“But the main thing they cat is dog
food.”
Davce said he puts out the dog
food for the dogs, but the turkeys
cat most of it.
He said his dad, Clyde, probably
enjoys the turkeys more than any
one else.
Clyde Davce said, “I sit around
and watch them and enjoy them. I
don’t care too much about eating
them, especially the ones out here.”
He said,’’They’ll come over to
my place and knock on my door for
breakfast and supper.” The red
turkey is Clyde’s favorite. “I always
wanted a red turkey, and we finally
got one.”
Davee said he doesn’t cat the
turkeys he raises. “I go to the store
and get mine.”
The Davees have planned a tradi
tional Thanksgiving feast for Friday
after his daughter arrives with her
family. “I cook the turkey, the
dressing and the fruit salad. My dad
makes the com bread.”
Davce said the secret to good
turkey is plenty of winc.’T baste the
turkey with wine, butter, garlic and
salt and pepper.”
The wine used on the turkey
comes straight form Davee’s own
vineyard. Davce manages to find
time to enjoy the turkeys between

our wells come from. What about our children and grand

you had better get our commissioners to help us and not

why don't they tell you what the other 78 percent is?
