TUMULT IN ALBANY
No one in Georgia could
being aware of the tumult in Alba¬
ny these last several months. It has
been intensified in recent weeks.
And extremists of every descript¬
ion are making the most of what is
happening there. Some have gone
to Albany in person. Others who are
not on the scene, who probably
know as little or less than the rest
of us who are there, lift their voic¬
es in strident support of one side
or the other. They might help mat¬
ters far more if they remained
quiet.
An editorial in the Macon News
on July 31 included these senten¬
ces: “Albany’s present state can on¬
ly lead to new violence, progressiv
ly more explosive. It is not too late
to prevent this. The Negroes must
withdraw, they must stop their use¬
less demonstrations and let their
case rest in the courts. And the
white leadership of the city must
understand that the Negroes have a
case and that it must be heard.
There must be a diligent search for
understanding, for a way out of the
dark swamp of violence.”
We would hesitate a rather long
time before saying what those in¬
volved must do. We do think, how¬
ever, the above quotation contains
some excellent suggestions. Some
who often approve or support in¬
tegration movements have expres¬
sed disapproval of the demonstrat¬
ions in Albany. And if the demon¬
strations are stopped, the city offi¬
cials would have an obligation to
hear local citizens, whatever their
race, about local matters. After that,
no solution satisfactory to all
were found, further action should
be in the courts, not the city streets.

Dear Jim:
Just checked and found out I am
past due for the Courier. So here¬
with is check for another year. It is
just like getting a letter from home.
I see that you have been very ill.
Do hope you are much better, but
take care of yourself. Meant to write
when you were having trouble with
your foot.
If some of the folks, or should I
say, all of them, would give you a
hand in your fight for White Coun¬
ty, as well as Cleveland, they could
help you get much done.
Last week we went upon Pauler
Mountain. It has a very beautiful
drive, but it could never be as beaut¬
iful as our Georgia mountains, where
everything is green — grass as well
as trees, etc. We don't have
here. After April we don’t get any
rain until November or December.
I just hope I can come back before
too long and get to see your beauti¬
ful highway. However, we do have
beautiful lodges, cafes, tourist cab¬
ins and motels. I hope you too will
soon have them in the finest section
of the U. S. I still say Georgia is one
of the most beautiful states, even
though I have not lived in Cleve¬
land for many years. Yet it will al¬
ways be my home and the old frien¬
ds so dear to me.
Forgive me for being late. Will
try to do better after this.
Love and best wishes to you and
your friends,
As ever, your friend,
Bessie Clayton Bradshaw

77 Karland Dr. N. W.
Atlanta 5, Georgia
August 5, 1962
Mr. James P. Davidson ' i
The Cleveland Courier
Cleveland, Georgia i i
Dear Mr. Davidson:
It has been some months sines I
heard anything about the Richard
B. Russell scenic highway or winter
sports development in White Coun¬
ty, so I would like to get the latest
information from you. Recently I
spent a fine weekend at Lake Burt¬
on, and on the way back, I drove
over to where you have the sign
about the highway with construct¬
starting in early 1962. I did not see
any sign of construction, although I
did not drive down the dirt road to
look farther.
On my trip to Burton I was pleas¬
antly surprised to see the fine roads
in White County. I had been on the
Gainesville to Cleveland road, so I
knew the White County part of that
road was good, but I had not seen
the Cleveland to Helen improve¬
ments. Additional road improve¬
ments from Suwanee to Buford and
future improvements to Gainesville
will make it real easy to get from
Atlanta to Cleveland. The end re¬
sult will be that the quickest route
to the higher mountains will be to
Cleveland.
Although I love skiing, I am a
better skater, and I know a whole
lot more about skating. In the May
19, 1961 issue of the Cleveland Cour¬
ier, the copy sent to me with a re¬
print of my letter to the Journal—
Constitution, there was mention that
Bill Lindsay and Jack Smith "want
a small lake for ice skating”. Has
anything been done about such a
lake? Are there any existing lakea
in the mountains near Cleveland
freeze over in winter? I have
that Lake Winfield Scott fre¬
over, but it is too hard to get
especially if there is ice or snow
on the roads. Now is the time for
you people to experiment with ice
skating. When the lakes at High¬
lands, N.C. freeze, they draw really
large crowds from South Carolina.
It is a little too far to draw large
from Atlanta, but Cleveland
is not too far to drive up and back
in one day. You should try making
some ground Ice. Pick a flat piece
of ground about the size of a big
tennis court, and cover it with fine¬
ly crushed stone about like sand.
This is needed to reflect the sun¬
light so as not to melt the ice from
the bottom. When the temperature
takes a dive, you spray water with
a fire dept, fog nozzle. Unlike a
pond, ground ice does not have to
be thick enough to hold up the skat¬
ers by bouyancy. There are some
tricks to building a pond for skating
too, which I will relate to you later
if you desire.
Let me know if anything is going
on about winter sports in White co.
Yours truly,
R. L. Ellis Jr. 4

BILL OF RIGHTS Ad
PROTECTS EVERYONE
To The Editor:
Concerning your editorial on the
Supreme Court and evidence used
in gambling trials, “illegally seized
material” is just that.
Once authorities begin to tamper
with safeguards surrounding the
rights of persons, regardless of the
motive—we are in trouble. It is like¬
ly to be the same kind of trouble
that the Germans found themselves
in under the Nazis, the Italians
found themselves in under Fascism,
and the Russian people wish they
were not in under the Communists.
The business of up-grading out
morals, our manners and our ethics
is not the task of the courts. It is
the business of the home, the church
and the school. It is our personal
business, and we will “make the
grade” or fail to make it entirely on
our own.
Censorship is not a pillar of any
civilized society. Nor can a civilized
society overlook illegality sven
though the person to be hurt is per¬
haps a worthless member of the
community.
Everytime a court fails to protect
the right of a person it might be a
good thing for the rest of us to re¬
member that there “but for the
grace of the Bill of Rights go I." M
