Bits oi History of White County
White County was created byAct

ber 22, 1857 from Habersham and
Lumpkin Counties, mostly Hab¬
ersham.
William H. Snelton, Repre

ty, had twice tried to get passage
of the Act forming White County
but failed each time. (Mr Shelton
lived in the home where Mrs Bet
tie Henderson now lives at the
time he was Representative )
David T. White, Representa¬
tive from Newton County, seeing
Mr. Shelton’s disappointment,got
behind the bill and the Legisla
ture reconsidered and it passed
So in gratitude, Rept. Shelton
had the county named White for
Representative White.
Cleveland was created by an
Act of the General Assembly on
Oct 18, 1870. Prior to that the
town was known as MouutYouah
The first Commissioners of Cleve¬
land were: William B Bell,(who
lived in the house where Mrs. J.
B. R. Barrett now lives) Virgil
Robertson, Henry Meeks, A J.

OTHER VOICES
A TRIBUTE TO THE
WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
The five-day week is unknown on
a weekly newspaper. More commonly
the week consists of seven long days—
with the majority of time spent on
newspaper work. Many of these people
operate what is referred to in the
trade as a “Ma and Pa” paper—that the
is, both husband and wife on
paper, the sole employes. that they not
Which means are
only reporters — they’re advertising
salesmen, Linotype operators, printers,
makeup men; yes, they run the press, the
too, and tote the mail sacks to
post office. And when all else is done
to get out the newspaper, they do
commercial job printing — and then
sweep up the floor before they go
home.
The weekly newspaper is indispen¬
sable to the commnuity it represents.
It is the public voice that live knits in the to¬
gether the people of the who commnuity. It is

the births public deaths, record which citizens notes and the
and of —
most every accomplishment between
those two points, the beginning and
the end.
Look into any small town which is
fast deteriorating and you’ll find that
the newspaper suspended publication
some time ago. The suspension, in
many cases, sounded the death knell
for the community. Gone was the
voice which reflected community pride
—gone was the voice of leadership
in community projects. And so, gone
was the community.
Better roads make it possible for
small town residents to shop in larger
cities—and the loss of revenue in the
smaller communities shrinks the ad¬
vertising potential of the weekly news¬
paper. And so, as time goes on, the
weekly newspaper suspends publica¬
tion because there is no longer an
economy to support a home town
paper.
Which is a pity.
For nothing will ever take the place
of the weekly.
Let those communities which boost
a local paper count their blessings
and see to it that the paper is properly
supported.
That’s the only reward a good
weekly newspaperman asks.

SEE MILLION IN COURTS
IN ’65 UNLESS
JUVENILES ARE CURBED
Washington, D. C.—Senate investi¬
gators said Sunday juvenile that delinquency if the up¬
ward trend of
continues unabated, more than one be¬
million children will be brought
fore the courts in 1965.
The warning was sounded by the
Senate Juvenile Delinquency Sub-Com¬
mittee in a 252-page report setting
forth its recommendations for dealing
with the problem.
Juvenile drinking, vandalism, veneral diseases
among teenagers, youth
gangs, crime comics, TV - programs,
and the use of narcotics are among
the many phases of the problem dis¬
cussed by the sub-committee.
And it estimated that at least
200,000 teen-agers contract veneral
diseases each year.
“Every year,” it said, ‘more than
twice as many cases of veneral disease
are reported tuberculosis, among teen-agers as
cases of poliomyelitis,
rheumatic fever and infectious hepa¬
titis combined.”
The sub - committee also decried
travel to Mexican border towns by
teen-ager from southwestern states.
These towns “begger description” to
the average American, it said, and
“prostitution, drunkenness, sale of
narcotics and pomigraphy, perversion,
and all forms of vice flourish openly.”

Cancer Drive Leaders
White County
Cleveland, Georgia
Dear Co-Workers:
From the Chairman of the Georgia
Cancer Society 1 have just received
a letter stating that all the counties
in the Third District, of which I
am Chairman, are making splendid
progress and good reports to the
State Board, except White County.
The State Chairman feels, as do I,
that White County is making good
progress, but probably has not had
time to make a report to the State
Board. I sincerely hope this is the
case.
However, if any of you are having
trouble getting your part of the work
started or completed, and if I can be
of any service in that connection,
please let me know. I am sure all of
you agree with us on the great im¬
portance of this fine work; and I know
you will go right ahead and complete
White County’s quota of $325.00 as
soon as possible, and report that to
State Headquarters.
With cordial best wishes for each
and all of you, and highest personal
regards, I remain,
Yours very truly,
E. D. Kenyon, Chairman
Third District.
