Law and Order
Should Concern
Us All - Herman
ATLANTA — Citing that in the
pest five years “serious crime has
increased 40 per cent, five times
as much as our population,” Geor¬
gia’s U.S. Senator Herman E. Tal
niadge declared “this is a matter
which should be of great con¬
cern to all of us, particularly to
governmental, civic and business
leaders.”
Addressing a meeting of the
L’acon Rotary Club, the Senator
asserted that “law enforcement to¬
day is a struggle not only against
the criminal, but against the pub¬
lic and the courts as well. Said he:
“The policeman’s already diffi¬
cult and dangerous job is made
more difficult, and often impos¬
sible, by the terrific odds which
are stacked against him.”
Severely critical of those “who
would in any way hamper the
protection of life, liberty and prop¬
erty,” Talmadge said “the various
forces which are undermining law
enforcement either wittingly
or unwittingly — must somehow
be overcome.”
He said “one of the greatest
threats to the preservation of law
and order is a public which is
growing increasingly indifferent
to what happens beyond its own
front door.” Referring to recent
incidents in New York, and other
big cities, which are “shocking
to the conscience,” he asked:
“What is America coming to
when people witness rape and
murder and mahem and do
nothing? Has our country so de¬
clined that people subscribe to
the law of the jungle — the sur¬
vival of the fittest? Are the peo¬
ple no longer concerned about
mobs taking to the streets, fight¬
ing with policemen and damaging
and looting private property?
Not only does the public seem
indifferent, to lawlessness, there
is a growing tendency to protect
the criminal and to blame crime,
not on the individual but instead
on the alleged shortcomings of
society. It is becoming all too
commonplace to read that sup¬
posedly law-abiding citizens, in¬
stead of assisting in the appre¬
hension of criminals, go to their
aid.
“It is indeed unfortunate that
an apathetic, indifferent or an¬
tagonistic public is often aided
and abetted by our courts which,
through the technical mechina
tions of more sociology than law,
also contribute to the decline of
law enforcement. The law’s hands
are virtually tied by court de¬
cisions such as the Mallory and
the Durham rule, which in effect
places more emphasis upon the
protection of the murderer and
the rapist than upon the victim.
“The policeman today must in¬
deed tread very carefully as he
goes about his work lest he offend
the courts and the misguided sen¬
sitivities of the public.”

makers of America will be busier
than usual from April 4th to the
10th. That is the week the ihalf
million members of this national
youth organization observe Nation¬
al FHA Week.
The FHA chapter at White Coun¬
ty High School has scheduled a
number of activities for the week,
according to Miss Evans, advisor.
The plans include an FHA 20th
Birthday party, Teacher Apprecia¬
tion Day, and attending church to¬
gether on Sunday.
Future Homemakers of America
are home economics students in
junior and senior high schools.
The organization, founded 20 years
ago, states as its Creed:
(« We face the future with warm
courage and high hope. For we
are the builders of homes . . . for
America’s future. Homes where liv¬
ing will be the expression of every¬
thing that Is good and fair. Homes
where truth and love and security
and faith will be realities, not
dreams.”
A national program of work
guides the activities of individual
FHA members and chapters. Pro¬
jects on this year’s program are
(1) You and Your Values: (2) Focus
on Family Friendship; (3) Marriage
Calls for Preparation; (4) Stay in
School; (5) Action for Citizenship.
All projects further FHA’s over¬
all goal, which is to help individ¬
uals improve personal, family, and
community living.
Future Homemakers of America
is sponsored by the U. S. Office of
Education and the American Home

its financial support from the dues
of members. In Georgia, there are
over 23,000 members in 317 'high

Education. Stella Williams of Crisp
County High School serves as State
President and Mrs. J. Mac Barber,

A Time of Faith
This is the month of Easter.
And throughout Christiandom, the
resurrection of Jesus Chirst as
the central fact of the Christian
religion will be celebrated. On
that first morning, a great rock
stood rolled back from the door¬
way of an empty tomb. The Lord
had risen and the Christian faith
was born.
In this fast paced world, the
swift passage of events often leav¬
es us breathless and occasionally
wondering how best to be ready
both personally and as a nation
to meet the shifting circumstances
which are sure to arise with the
new day’s sun. At such a time,
each of us needs a firm base
founded on faith in divine pur¬
pose and a sense of direction and
continuity in our lives.
This is the time to strengthen
our faith and sense of direction.
Easter signifies renewal and re¬
birth — appropriately the word
itself was derived from the name
of an ancient goddess of spring.
Aside from its religious signifi¬
cance, the ritual that is part of
the Easter observance in every
church has a meaning for us of
its own. It is rooted deeply in tra¬
ditions of the past and it imparts
a feeling of permanence as we
realize how strongly the traditions
of the past are with us today.
Even my lady’s Easter bonnet
is after all not such a frivolous
and meaningless thing. It is part
of a tradition and happily enough
in most cases, an eye pleasing
one. But tradition and Easter fine¬
ry aside, as we inwardly renew
our dedication to the Christian
faith, we pass it on to future
generations as the focal point ol
life and the continuing key build¬
ing block of western civilization.
