To Ca., Survey Reveals
The Georgia Department of
Commerce, the state’s No, 1
agency for promoting tourist
trade within her borders, is seek¬
ing to find out just how much
tourism means to Georgia’s
economy.
Commerce Director has just re¬
leased a survey made of the travel
industry on Highway 391 in Bui
lock County as an example of
what it means to just one county.
Here’s what the survey, conduct¬
ed by the Statesboro and Bulloch
County Chamber of Commerce
among 63 establishments, includ¬
ing motels, hotels, restaurants
and filling stations, showed:
Total investment, $5,797,000;
gross annual income, $1,607,000;
weekly payroll, $21,385; total
employees,514,including 234 males
and 28 O females.
We would like to point out the
fact,” the chamber report said,
“that the week.y payroll does
not include the drawing account
or salary of the owners. A very
conservative estimate of IlOo per
week for each establishment rais¬
es this figure by $7,300.
In addition to the weekly pay¬
roll, these establishments circu
late much money in our commun¬
ity for heat, water, electric pow*
er, laundry, general upkeep, im¬
provements and insurance. Res¬
taurants, of course, spend ajlarge
part of tueir income for food
which they serve the public. This
provides a ready market for farm
crops, when 111 season, and helps
farmers of the surrounding aiea.”

Biaireviiie,
October 22,
Editor, Cleveland Courier
Cleveland, Ga
Dear Sir:
I feel constrained to call 10 the atten
tion of Georgia voters and taxpayers
danger in voting on Nov, 8 for the
poned Constitutional Amendment
will authorize the uee of state tax
'tor the payment of obligations of
several State Authorities.
I do this for the following reasons:
1 l'he Constitution of Georgia pro¬
hibits the accumulation of any debt by
tbe igeae of bonds;
2 Thia is a wise provision designed to
prevent irresponsible politicians from
spending and protection to taxpayers; Rural
ft The various State Authniitiee.f
Road Authority, Jykeil Island, State
Park Authority; Bridge Authority, etc)
were organized to get around, circumvent
and defeat this long standing provision of
our State Constitution, which has served
as a protection of our people; although
we were told that theee Authority pro¬
grams wi uld be self liquidating, I be¬
lieve;
4 Now, under the guise and use of the
Authorities, Georgie has accumulated a
long time bonded debt of several hun.
dred million dollars, and the people are
being asked to vote against th ir own
Const: ution as regarding the prohibition
of bonded indebtedness;
Thus, we not only have polihciane who
bendt o citcnmveoe tbe Constitution they
swore to npbhi Id, but now come and ask
the citizena to dn eo. Please vote again¬
st this amendment and let our politicians
know we don’t appreciate the 9,000 per
cent increase they have brought about in
Georgia’s debt in the past ten years,
A vote for this amendment looks like a
vote fot more taxes.
Sincerely,
W, G. Murrah

OUR GOVERNMENTAL
FOUNDATION
A governmental constitution is
essary for the operation of a free so¬
ciety of people. This is another way of
saying that freedom can only survive
in a government of law; it cannot
survive in a government of men. Men
are corruptible. Misinterpretations The law on the law
book is not. can
prevail; but the law on the law book
has one basic intention, and no other.
In our American system, Faith in God
is the basic fundamental Government pillar of our
freedom. Constitutional is
the second pillar. A Private Enter¬
prise economic system is the third.
Our Founding Fathers were right fearful be.
of government. They had a to
They knew that nowhere on earth had
there been a government that had not
taken itself sooner or later total power
over the lives of its people. We should
be fearful of government today. Gov¬
ernment, through law, delegates administer pow¬
er to the people who the
law and who serve in the legal ca¬
pacities of governmental freedom functions. If
they flaunt the law, is de¬
stroyed. Jefferson Still Afraid
After the Constitution was finally
completed Jefferson at Philadelphia other September
17, 1787, and patriots
were still so fearful of government,
even constitutional government, that
they demanded that the specific rights
of individual citizens and states be fur¬
ther enunciated in the great document.
And thus The Bill of Rights became
the first 10 amendments to our Con¬
stitution. The rest of the Constitution
is devoted to establishing the frame¬
work of our government—the carefully
divided powers of the legislative, the
judiciary and the executive branches.
The preamble was, in effect, a basic
statement of purpose:
“We the people of the United
States, in order to form a more per¬
fect Union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty ordain to ourselves and our posterity,
do and establish this Constitu¬
tion for the United States of America.”
Broad Base
The substance of the Constitution
is broad, bedrock law. It is the spirit
of this bedrock law that is important.
The history of the Constitutional Con¬
vention should be studied by every
American. All of us should understand
the arguments put forth as each sec¬
tion, each sentence and phrase was
subjected to the intellect and expe¬
rience of the 55 men who created the
document, with God’s guidance.
The basic convictions of the con¬
census of these 55 men (there
65 delegates but only 55 worked
the Constitution; the others did
attend) were these:
Mankind is created by God. Gov¬
ernment is necessary for the
of mankind on earth. Government
dangerous. Power corrupts. Thus
people must be safeguarded from des¬
potic inclinations of government. A
Republic, permitting
government, is the safest and
soundest of all forms. Citizens in a
Republic have certain citizenship
duties. These are: To be self-reliant,
law abiding, God-fearing, active in
community, affairs. political and governmental
Constitutional Concept
As I understand the thinking of the
55 men who hammered out the U. S.
Constitution, the Federal government
was to be a mechanism for safeguard¬
ing liberty, for maintaining the na¬
tional defense, for establishing justice
in guarding the application of laws, for safe¬
the economic system that
would bring about well-being, for pre¬
serving liberty for each new genera¬
tion of Americans. Specific governing
would be done at the local and state
levels. Thus, the framers of the Con¬
stitution aligned themselves against
any form or function of government
which might endanger these objectives.
They were for freedom; and against
any force seeking to destroy it. Like
the cotton growers of Mississippi, who
weevil are for that cotton ruin and t^e against all the Amer- boll
crop,
More People for White County
To induce many new families to buy
property and move to White County u
seems old advertising a simple matter of applying the
“TO slogan:
SELL’EAl—TELL ’EM”
It’s natural to think of the difficul¬
ties first: There’s no money in the
treasury to advertise and “Tell ‘Em.”
Judging from 20 years of advertis¬
ing experience, both national and lo¬
cal, 1 believe $500.00 would carry on a
solicitation test for one year among
the two easiest classes of people to
interest in moving to White County:
Those who will be interested in own¬
ing summer homes here to get
away from the enervating heat of
Florida, and
Retired or semi-retired people who
are (They’ll thinking of moving to Florida.
be sorry)!
The whole solicitation problem is a
sort of Business Engineering problem.
I’m certain that the project can be¬
come successful.
Anybody want to discuss the sub¬
ject? I'll start the fund off with a
$25.00 donation. The Peoples Bank can
probably afford $100.00, tbe Telephone
Company maybe $50.00, merchants in
Cleveland, oil dealers, building supply
companies, bakers and so forth in
Gainesville and other places who sell
in this area should feel obliged to do¬
nate because the more people here the
more sales they might make.
i have a comfortable, new shop
building with heat and lights, and lots
of parking space. If anybody is in¬
terested in a meeting some time, set
it up and bring folding chairs to sit
on and
Let’s Go!

WHAT IS THE LEGION?
We of another war sometimes are
asked, what is The American Legion ?
The American Legion is not a club,
although many of its posts operate
clubhouses. It is not a fraternal or¬
ganization, although it offers the fel¬
lowship of comrades in arms. The
Legion is a service organization. It
is the trustee of a sacred responsi¬
bility and power. The beneficiaries of
this trust own the Legion. It belongs
to those men and women who bear
on their bodies and minds the marks
of the price they have paid for love
of country. It belongs to the father
and mother, the widow and the or¬
phans of those for whom there can
be those no homecoming. It belongs to
sons and daughters of ours who
yet serve America in the far-flung
spaces of the world. It belongs to
every man and woman of America
who has honorably served his nation
in the armed forces. While it serves
its membership and those who were
of the armed forces, it also has a
primary concern in the future of
America. It has offerer and will con¬
tinue to offer leadership in those
causes that promote the wellbeing of
the nation. It seeks the cooperation
and help of every citizen. It belongs
to the nation. Those who own it are
the beneficiaries of its service and its
strength. Through it we who served
America in times of war continue to
serve it and each other in time of
peace.—Chief Justice Robert G. Sim¬
