Why Newspaper
\
Advertising?
'no of the countless reasons
w.iy the response to newspaper
advertising is so outstanding is
that women expect to see adver¬
tising in their hometown news¬
paper — The Cleveland Courier.
This special advantage of The
(. urier, which we have pointed
out so often, is now buttressed
by a research project which has
concluded: “getting a woman to
sec an advertisement is not enough

vertisements when they’re where

What's Going On
In Your
White County Schools
By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent
MONEY TO OPERATE SCHOOLS
The money to operate schools
comes from three sources, federal,
state and local taxes. The new
Senate Bill 180 increases the local
taxes for educational purposes so
you can expect an increase in
school taxes for the next few
years.
THREE CLASSES OF SCHOOLS
There are three agencies that
set standards for schools in Geor¬
gia. The State Board of Educa¬
tion has a set of standards that
all schools in Georgia must meet
to get state aid. White County
meets this standard.
Georgia Accrediting Agency has
a set of standards that most Geor¬
gia schools meet. Part of White
County Schools are accredited by
Georgia Accrediting Agency.
Southern Association of Colleg¬
es and Schools has a set of stand¬
ards that some schools in Georgia
meet. No white County Schools
are accredited by the Southern As¬
sociation.
—We hope to have all White
County schools accredited by Geor¬
gia Accredation and White County
High accredited by the Southern
Association.
SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR 1965-66
School begins Friday, August 27.
HOLIDAYS September 6, Oc¬
tober 22, November 26 and 27, De¬
cember 23 through January 3,
March 18, April 8 and 11, and
school ends May 25.
Microwave Tower
Jeing Constructed
Sear Dahlonega
Plans of the Long Lines De¬
partment of the American Tele¬
phone and Telegraph Company
to construct a $1 million radio re
lay station abut six miles east of
Dahlonega, Georgia near State
Route 52 were announced in At¬
lanta.
The new installation will serve
as a connecting link o*n a proposed
major long distance communica¬
tions route between Jackson, Miss.,
and Washington, D. C., pending
Federal Communications Commis¬
sion approval.
Excavation work at the station
site began on June 29. According
to present plans, the station wiU
include a reinforced concrete struc¬
ture and a 200-foot steel tower.
The equipment building will have
two floors with an overall interior
area of 37,000 square feet. The
tower will be equipped with the
latest type Cornucopia antennas
at the top to “direct” microwave
signals on to other towers. The
station is scheduled to be placed
in service in May, 1966.
The company stated that pres¬
ent plans call for an employee
force of between 5 and 10 persons
to operate and maintain the new
station.
The Long Lines Department is
the unit responsible for providing
most of the Bell System’s inter¬
state communications routes.
He Supports Efforts
To Overrule Court
TUCKER — Your Thursday, July
8, editorial praising Reps. Mackay
and Weltner for condemning ef¬
forts to overrule the Supreme
Court’s one-man, one-vote rule
tends to expose your belief that
our Constitution is obsolete. The
Georgia Senate and House were
patterned after that of the federal
government — one on a geograph¬
ical and the other on a population
basis. In my opinion, this has a
purpose as it tends to keep the
rural areas from being completely
deprived of a voice in govern¬
ment and cuts down on big-city
control of state politics,
As for the Court’s reapportion
ment ruling, the Constitution has
left this up to the states. In this
instance, the court has overstep¬
ped its hounds.
You mention that if the states
did a better job of solving the
people’s problems that the cen¬
tral government would not have
to step in so often. Is this to say
that we should do the bidding of
the federal government lest they

Russell: Fit and Ready
SEN. RICHARD B. Russell’s re¬
sumption of command (or chair¬
manship) of the Senate Armed
Services Committee is timed pro¬
pitiously inasmuch as military
business and Georgia politics are
concerned.
He returns to the leadership of
his committee just as a vital and
controversial piece of legislation
comes up for consideration the
military pay bill.
And his return to active chief¬
tainship should be one more indi¬
cation that he is ready and willing
and able to handle the duties in¬
cumbent on a United States Sena
tor.
The military pay bill has passed
the House of Representatives, but
not in the form requested by the
Johnson administration. The House
increased it beyond the Adminis¬
tration’s limits. And the Adminis¬
tration has made no secret that
it hopes to gain support for limi¬
ted raises within the Senate.
But Sen. Russell has made it
plain that he is prepared to do
battle with the administration on
this point He advocates raises
more in line with those approved
by the House.
His point is that if the Reserves
must be called up and if those al¬
ready in the armed services must
be held beyond their discharge
point, then there should be some
compensation in the form of a
sizeable increase.
It is a point weU made.
Senator RusseU could have
taken it easy. He could have gone
o*n record as supporting the admin¬
istration’s stand on military pay.
He could have done so in the
name of loyalty. He could have
rationalized such a stand with no
trouble. And in so doing he could
have assumed leadership of his
committee in name, and faced no
or
But Sen. Russell obviously feels
a great responsibility for his na¬
tion and for the men already in
uniform and those who will be in
the near future. And so he is
choosing to do battle with the ad¬
ministration’s position.
If any evidence were needed to
show that Sen. Russell is fit and
ready for his job fit and ready
for a long time to come — then
his resumption of active leader¬
ship has eliminated that need.
He has shown ho is ready, and
the men in uniform may well be
grateful that he is. — Editorial in
The Atlanta Journal.
A-Team Labeled 1 {
Qualified Failure J
Those college Athletes who ore
hired to Stoop over and pick
fruits and vegetables this summer
have currently become Washing¬
ton’s most successful failure.
Eighteen thousand A-Team boys
— “Athletes in Temporary Em¬
ployment as Agricultural Man¬
power” — were picked as pickers.
But as of this week only 3,190
have been used in Arizona, Cali¬
fornia, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Mich¬
igan and Washington.
The experience in Yuma, Ariz.,
is typical. Last year growers there
hired 3,800 Mexican braceros to
pick canteloupes during June and
July. This year 671 A-Team stu¬
dents began picking in June. An¬
other 2,600 athletes were held in
reserve for July.
But instead, unexpected adult
Americans showed up to do the
stooping.
It was disappointing for the
boys. But not for the Department
of Labor.
It feels the A-Team experiment
helps bear out the department
policy that braceros are not need¬
ed. And A-Team has been a quali¬
fied failure. It’s just that the de¬
mands for the youths didn’t ma
terialize.
The Labor Department has been
applying the Boy Stout Motto,
“Be Prepared.” But it seems it
hasn’t been needed.
