Established 181 ft $3.61 P« Tsar la 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. —Editorial Wesleyan Christian Advocate ra WHY LET AN OLD m I CAR DRIVE YOU \ «==* CRAZY?

Ramona, Calif. 918 — 3rd St. August 3, 1962 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 \v*m LETTERHEADS ^rNVElOPES 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 Atlanta FSC 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."
