Sanders Vows Road
Program Based on
Need, Not Politics
A long-range highway building
program in Georgia based in needs
rather than political consideration
has been promised by Gov.-Nom
inate Carl Sanders.
Since Georgians spend so much
on highways they’re entitled “to
get a fair share without political
entanglement,” Mr. Sanders told the
House Highway Committee Monday.
He said that if he can remove
political favoritism from the high
way program it will be “the biggest
feather I can put into my cap.”
Gov.-Nominate Sanders made it
plain, however, that he wasn’t crit¬
icizing present highway board mem¬
bers. They have done a good job,
he said.
But he pointed out his adminis¬
tration must make it possible for
the State Highway Department to
launch a long-range program that
will not be affected by a change
in administration.
The highway program under the
present setup must be held in obey
ance until the new governor gets
into office and indicates what type
of program he’s interested in, Mr.
Sanders said.
“I want responsibility fixed so
political pressures will not deter
mine which roads are built and
how they’re built,” he reiterated.
Gov.-Nominate Sanders also told
the committee he intends to see
Georgia roads are maintained. Since
the state is now spending $100 mil¬
lion paving primary roads, ‘we
can’t allow these roads to go back
to pot,” he said.

U OF GA RESEARCH ....................
A University of Georgia research
team has come up with some inter¬
esting answers to what is wrong
with business in small Georgia
towns.
Among the reasons given for a
drop in business was the poor rela¬
tion with farmers in the area, an
attitude of defeatism and lack of
aggressiveness on the part of the
merchants.
We see every day in newspapers, that
on radio and on TV, the ways
gib businesses are aggressively go
mg ' after the customers. They are
_ in area as
telling the customers our
well as elsewhere what they have
to offer. of
We have only to look at some
the promotional weekends in our
own county to realize that it can be
done! The customer can be brought
in!
Taylor County also has the poten¬
tial of growth. Our two towns are
in the midst of several smaller
towns. Our county is almost sur
rounded by four smaller counties.
We have competition from larger
towns but in most instances these
towns are farther away than Butler
or Reynolds. With aggressive pro
motional merchants in our commu¬
nities, an atmosphere of a moving
aggressive, dynamic business area
can be achieved.
The research group added “retail¬
ing in much like courting. The man
who has the most to offer, gets his
message' across and asks most often
for the maiden’s hand is the man
who comes away with the bride.”
The same is true of the customers
in our trade area.

Meredith Safety Costs
Defense $3.5 Million
Washington.—The Defense Depart
ment’s share of keeping Negro stu¬
dent James H. Meredith safely at
the University of Mississippi totals
about $3.5 million so far.
During the period, Sept. 29 thru
Oct. 16, the total cost to the Army
and Navy was $3,272,399.00.
This included $1,084,408 for the
federalized Mississippi • National
Guard, $247,980 for regular Army
personnel, $240,000 for the federal¬
ized Mississippi Air National Guard,
and $1,700,000 for airlifting men
and supplies to Oxford, Miss.
Also the daily average Army cost
since Oct. 16—based on current ac¬
tive duty strengths—is $13,383. This
includes $11,152 for the National
Guard and $2,231 for. the regular
Army. •
The Mississippi National Guard
was mobilized and regular Army
units began moving toward Oxford .
on Sept, 29. This was the day be¬
fore bloody campus rioting in which
two persons died and hundreds were
injured.

Dirt May Cure
Heart Trouble
Common ordinary dirt may be in¬
strumental in preventing of heart
attacks, according to Dr. Michael

logist, who is searching for an en¬
zyme that will dissolve blood clots.
He thinks this substance can be sep¬
arated from common dirt organisms.
The U. S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare apparently
thinks so too and has agreed to un¬
derwrite his research into the prob¬
lem.
Letter To -oil
The Editor
Atlanta, Ga.
Nov. 12, 1962
The Cleveland Courier
Cleveland, Ga.
Dear Editor:
You are known throughout the
for your never ending per
to improve White County, both
a place for its Citizens to live
work, and also as a tourist at¬
You are to be admired
commended for your work in
this field.
In your struggle for the growth
White County, there is one major
problem that is most significant in
keeping people from locating in
White County. This problem is Tax
Equalization. properties of
Until taxes on the
White County have been Equalized,
the County will not be recognized
as a forward-moving, progressive
County; and people will not move
to White County feeling that they
are not being taxed fairly.
The United States Agriculture De¬
partment, in its 1960 “Farm Real
Estate Assessment in Georgia,”
found that certain properties in
White County were assessed at less
than one-tenth of their sale value,
while other properties were assessed
as well over their sale value.
The Assessed value of property in
White County is $1,771,000.00. There
are individuals in White County
whose property holdings alone are
worth well over this amount. The
smaller land holders, whose prop¬
erty is assessed at near its sale
value, is the ones who are paying
the bulk of the county taxes.
The General Assembly enacted
legislation in 1960 authorizing state
aid to Counties for tax equalization
programs, This aid is offered in
five year tax free loans to get a
professional firm to assess true
value to property. This aid must
be secured through the County Com¬
missioners; therefore I urge you to
insist that the County adopt a plan
to Equalize Taxes, either by County
finance or by the state five year
tax free loan.
Forty-one counties of Georgia
have already taken advantage of
this aid including four local Coun¬
ties: Hall, Habersham, Franklin and
Stephens. will give this prob¬
I do hope you consideration.
lem your deepest
Thank you,
