Dear Jim:
I enclose a check for renewal of my
subscription to your valuable paper
which I carefully read and enjoy.
Your continuous plugging for White
County and all of North Georgia is
beginning to bear fruit. I am happy
to see the tremendous progress which
your city and county have made and
are continuing to make. As one who
loves North Georgia, you have con¬
tributed much and I would like for
you to know how deeply I appreciate
what you have done for a great sec¬
tion of a great State.
May you live long to continue the
fine work you are doing and to see and
enjoy some of the results. due You and
your newspaper are much of the
credit for what we now have in the
mountains of the State we both love.
I would like to repeat my deep ap¬
preciation for your friendship over the
years and I am sure it will continue
until the Grim Reaper gets us. With
the kindest personal regards, I am sin¬
cerely. Your friend,

PINEY WOODS PETE SAYS:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Dick Russell didn’t hurt himself
much, if any, by talking freely features to re¬
porters for Newsweek, which
him as “the most influential member
of the U.S. Congress.” He made sense
when he said:
(< The greatest problem confronting
the Negro is economic. Jackie Robin¬
son and Ralph Bunche have no prob¬
lems pursuing careers. The same goes
for the Negro millionaires in Atlanta.
You must bring up the low-income
groups, but not by forcing them into
jobs by forcing the whites out. We’ve
got to provide more jobs for Negroes.
Just how I can’t say.” difficult
His admission that it is a
problem was an understatement. Still,
it must he dealt with. When, and if, it
is solved, the others likely will grad¬
ually disappear as attitudes of both
races change.
Yours truly,
PINEY WOODS PETE.

ANOTHER BLACK EYE
FOR U. S. OVER CUBA
The Wanton Seizure by a Cuban
Naval force of 19 fugitives from Cas¬
tro tyranny as they huddled defense¬
less on a tiny British Island in the
Bahamas is an international outrage.
We can only surmise what brutal
punishment has been meted out to the
captives, who include women and
children.
But no surmise is needed to reco¬
gnize that this is another black eye
for the Kennedy Administration.
The seizure took place on the islet
of Anguilla Cay under the eyes of air¬
men of U. S. Coast Guard and mili¬
tary aircraft. They did nothing.
It was explained later that the air¬
men felt helpless to intervene because
the islet is British territory. But they
carried their excessively fastidious
concern for international law even
further.
ties They did not radio British authori- ,
in the Bahamas of what was go¬
ing on. Instead they notified Washing¬
ton which in turn notified Nassau. Our
plances circled overhead watching, do¬
ing nothing, as a Cuban helicopter and
crews from torpedo boats rounded up
the captives, overlooking 10 who later
were taken to Miami.
The reason given for doing nothing
is a very lame explanation. It is our
huch that if our planes had inter¬
vened the British _ Government would
have taken a more than a understand¬
ing attitude. The planes would have
been defending British territory
against an aggressive and insolent in¬
cursion.

A NATURAL RIDGE
CITED FOR PARKWAY
Georgia CORDELE—Rep. and Phil Landrum of
Carolina have Rep. Taylor of North
of the Blue Ridge suggested an extension
Asheville through Parkway North south from
Carolina and
into that Georgia. I wonder if people know
a natural ridge already exists for
such a divide? highway, on the Atlantic-Gulf
water This ridge goes from
Lake Okeechobee in Florida north
through the Atlantic states to New
York, and west to the Rockies and up
into Canada. From one side of it all
the rivers flow into the Atlantic Ocean
and from the other side they flow into
the Gulf of Mexico.
A ridge parkway, maintained as a
national park, could be built from
Asheville into Georgia without any
bridges or underpasses. It would ba
the only road of its type in the nation.
You could see for miles to either side.
I would be willing to ride this ridge
from Florida to North Carolina to get
the opinion of the people who live
along the ridge.
