COMPLIMENT FOR OUR IN
STRUCTIONAL SUPERVISOR
How is Teresa New?” I was
asked when I walked into the of¬
fice of Information Director Ber¬
nice McCullar, at the Education
Department the other day. “Mrs.
New is one of the most brilliant
people in education in Georgia,
and White County is lucky to have
her,” said Mrs. McCullar.
The information director told
me that she is putting in her new
Georgia history book and has al¬
ready used on her T-V show this
interesting fact: “Pink Mountain
and Blue Creek are in White Coun¬
ty." Mr. McCullar, who is going
to Europe for a month this spring,
has a new long-playing record out,
entitled “How to Study, and Why,”
which is being used by students
all over the U. S.

DO YOU KNOW THE MEMBERS
OF YOUR BOARD OF
EDUCATION?
These five men work hard to

TO THE SCHOOLS
Send me the news for this week¬
ly report to our people. We want
them to know what is going on in
their schools. They pay the tax that
keeps the schools going and edu¬
cates our children, and they have
a right to know what our schools
are doing.
Easier Cloture
Rejected
WASHINGTON, (UPI) The
Senate Rules Committee today
voted against making it easier to
tcut off filibusters.
By a 5-4 vote the committee
recommended retention of the
present cloture rule. It requires a
two-thirds vote to end debate.
No Comment. . .
WASHINGTON, March 2
“Shook up” is the way one com¬
mittee member described the ma¬
jority of the Education Committee
of the House of Representatives.
They had just been presented with
figures that showed that the ten
richest counties in the U.S. would
benefit more than the ten poorest
under the aid-to-education bill.
They needn’t have been so sur¬
prised. The majority in this Con¬
gress has its biggest base of sup¬
port in the big city machines and
in the working class suburbs
around them. It is in places like
these that construction workers
draw $5 an hour in wages and
fringes.
For some reason, many blue
collar workers seem to consider
themselves among the worthy
poor, no matter how much they
earn. Their votes don’t seem to
be reliable if their communities
are omitted from the programs
•designed to relieve poverty.
Programs are shaped

Mr. Jim Davidson, Publisher

Cleveland, Georgia
Dear Mr. Davidson:
Several years ago I made a mo
tion picture, “I’d Climb The High¬
est Mountain,” in and near Cleve¬
land, Georgia. I mention this to
'tell you who I am and the purpose
of this letter.
I remember Cleveland and its
people so very well. I also re¬
member clearly the old court¬
house, one of the wonderful land¬
marks of our American heritage.
I have been informed that this
fine old building is to be tom down
Hvhich makes me very sad, becaues
‘soon there will be nothing left
of the real Americana. If such a
thing is possible to preserve some
of our beauty and character of
the countryside, including this
lovely old courthouse, I hope you
will. . . for when it is gone, we
can never get it back.
Most sincerely, j
HENRY KING.

Mayor Lew Cooper
Cleveland, Georgia
Dear Mayor Cooper:
Several years ago I had the
good fortune to make a film for
20th Century Fox in Cloveland —
“I’d Climb The Highest Mountain,”
with Susan Hayward.
I was greatly impressed by the
warm hospitality of your citizens
also, the quaintness of the old
court-house and square.
Recently I heard that you are
considering erecting a parking lot
where this structure now stands.
Surely, there must be enough pres¬
sure to bear from those people
of discernment and culture to re¬
tain this historic building.
I hereby would like to register
a complaint against this present
plan wth the councilmen of Cleve¬
land. I sincerely hope that they
will find it a worthy cause in re¬
taining this property whereby the
coming generations will have a
glimpse of the Americana of old.
Sincerely yours,
RUTH DONNELLY.
Police Shoot Youth
In Escape Try
A 15-year-old negro boy was
shot in the hip while fleeing from
police Tuesday, officers said.
The shooting occurred after
police answered a reported robbery
at a Georgia Avenue laundry. In
'stead of a hold-up, the call turned
out to be for larceny of money
'from a cash register.
While investigating the theft
officers took the boy into custody
after they found him in possession
of a .25-caliber pistol, a detective
said.
The boy jumped out of a police
ear and late arriving officers, ap¬
parently thinking that a hold-up
suspect was escaping, began firing
their weapons, police stated.
Discovered hiding under a house
ion Bass Street, the boy was taken
J into custody once again by police
and later admitted to Grady Hos¬
pital.
Detective E. W. Felder said the •
boy was charged with carrying a
concealed weapon, carrying a pis¬
tol without a license and truaney.

Happiness Is
Black Cloud
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) To
Thomas Henderson, happiness is a
large black cloud.
That’s because Henderson, under
contract as a rainmaker to the
Kings River Conservation District,
believes he’s perfected a method
for starting snowstorms.
Henderson said he uses an ex¬
plosive to disperse silver iodine
•crystals — used to seed clouds
from the ground from an air
Iplane. His “bomb” and plane are
ready, he said. All he needs is the
cloud,
