I PROMISE
If Carl Sanders is elected Gove*
nor of Georgia and does just one
half of the things that he has pro¬
mised to do for Chatham County,
there will not be any money left
to do anything for the rest of the
state. We have carefully read the
reports of his speeches, and most of
his speeches is made up of I promise
so on.
Evidently friend Carl think he
will be the whole show if elected
and no one else, the legislature nor
the senate will have anything to do
with what he does.
But most people know that Pro¬
mises are like pie crust, made to
break, and Sanders is trying to get
the Chatham vote, wheih he thought
at one time that Mills B. Lank
would deliver to him in a sack, but
when so few showed up in a motor¬
cade from Chatham at his States¬
boro opening, and such a large
motorcade went to Griffins speech
there two weeks later, it made Carl
wake up and realize that it would
take a lot of promising to remedy
the situation.
The Savannah newspapers are
overdoing their support for Sand¬
ers, but that is easily understood
by those in the know, that Mills B.
Lane can say “jump and they must
jump.’’ Thursday afternoons Press
carried a large picture of Carl kiss¬
ing two girls at the top of page one,
and at the bottom was a larpe pic¬
ture of him hugging two old women.
Fridays Savannah Morning News
had picture after picture of Carl
and his activities.
But if they will get out In the
country they will find that tnis pub¬
licity is hurting instead of helpng,
and most people resent having the
Savannah papers try to ram a cand¬
idate down their throats. Yes, come
September 12th, you will find Chat¬
ham, Richmond and possibly Ful¬
ton lined up with ninety per cent
of the country counties in electing
Marvin Griffin for another term in
office. He is gaining ground by leaps
and bounds, while his opiponentis
losing ground fast.—The Pembroke

Hello Jim.
Hope that you are up and around
by now and that all your family
are well and enjoy the cool summer.
We are having wonderful weather
here for several days.
You will find enclosed payment
for another year for The Courier.
I would feel lost without it. I am
sorry 1 was so long sending it in.
We have been away two weeks visit¬
ing our daughter in Seattle, Wash.
Found them and two grandsons
just fine. Enjoyed the World’s Fair.
There are sure some marvelous im¬
provements in store for the future—
it will be nice to talk to relatives
and friends and see them while the
conversation progresses. Also there
are a lot ot other improvements. It
may require years before they are
perfected, but they are sure to.
come.
Sure hope the Winter Sports will
go through soon. The White County
Mountains are a wonderful place
for it.
Allan, our son, has moved to
Santa Rosa, Calif., has his own
business there and making good.
It's a pretty place. Lots of grape
vineyards around that part of Cali¬
fornia.
Hope everything goes on flna in
White County. Hope to be back there
again before too many years.
Yours truly, A

FLYNT COMMENDS
GEORGIA’S COCKE
FOR CHURCH TALK
• ■*» ^ ,. w
Georgia-born Erie Cocke Jr~"a
former vice president of Delta Air
Lines in Atlanta and now alternate
executive director of the ftfarld
Bank in Washington, D. C., served
as a lay speaker at Briggs Memorial
Baptist Church in Westmoreland
Hills, Md., on a recent Sunday morn
ing.
Portions of his remarks were
printed in the Washington Post and
Fourth District Congressman John
J. Flynt Jr., of Griffin, thought so
much of them that he had them In¬
serted in the Congressional Record.
“Mr. Cocke", said Rep. Flynt
from the House floor, “is an out¬
standing young man who has served
his country and his fellow man with
honor and distinction and the
thoughts which underlie his remarks
confirm his dedication of purpose.
It is indeed a pleasure to include
here his inspiring and thought
provoking message.”
Cocke, a World War II veteran
and past national commander of the
American Legion, began his remarks
thusly:
“It is a sad commentary that in
our society today doing good Is not
considered news. The yardstick of
news these days is the evil that men
can perpetrate. The bigger the com¬
munity, the more violent tn tfcfe
yardstick.
u Our greatest national problem
today is not the H-bomb. It is not
Communist Russia. It is not the
space missile gap. It is not racial
unrest. It is the cancer of moral
decay eating at our nation’s vitals.
“This cancer is slowly but surely
destroying every traditional Ameri¬
can virtue whether it be religious,
patriotic, ethical, economic, moral
or political.
“Just look how far we have drft
ed as a whale society from the frame¬
work of American idealism on which
our Republic was founded. Where
are today our pioneer day virtues
of hardwork, thirft and private ini¬
tiative?”
Here’s how Cocke concluded his
message: ‘The greatest prohlem
that confronts a democracy like
ours is the enlightened control of
human selfishness. We can
this only by living up to divine pre¬
cepts and by practicing that greatest
of all American human
ideal - - by devotion to mutual
helpfulness.
“It has been a genuinely
ing experience, and a privilege,
have had this opportunity of
ing with you in worshiping
May we all follow in His
for the glory of God and the
welfare of America."
PINKY WOODS FETE SAYS:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
An outraged Chicago mother

other day for gluing together
pages of paperback books which she
considered obscene. She said she had
sent copies to her congressman and

so she decided something had to
done and it was up tq her.
I reckon her concern about books
