Bad Legislation

Time to Pass
y! The Apples
Here’s a letter from Wm. H. (Bil)
Towles Sr., senior citizen of Jack
son, Ga., in which he says, “It has
-been some time since I have had
the idea that I might have some
items of information which I might
be able to divulge without the
necessity of invoking the Fifth
Amendment to the Constitution.”
Now it seems that Bill has been in
Atlanta observing the trend of the
hemline and he says, “I was sit¬
ting in the entrance of Davison's
just ‘looking ’em over’ and remem¬
bering a song I heard in the early
I teo’s. If it could be applied then,
it seems it would be even more
I apropos now.”
a This is the song that Bill Towles
remembered:
1 H Now Eve wasn’t modest till
4 she at that apple,
That old apple was to
blame;
^ No sooner than she ate it, she
felt humiliated,
And hid behind the apple tree
till darkness came.
Now if one little apple made
the first girl modest,
It ought to work now as well
as then;
If every mother’s daughter
wears her dresses any shorter,
They’ll have to pass the apples
once again.”

Why Newspaper
Advertising?
One of the countless reasons why
the response to newspaper adver¬
tising is so outstanding is that
women EXPECT to see advertis¬
ing in their hometown newspaper
— The Cleveland Courier.
This special advantage of The
Courier, which we have pointed
out so often, is now buttressed by
a research project which has con¬
cluded: “getting a woman to see
an advertisement is not enough —
A woman pays attention to adver¬
tisements when they’re where she
EXPECTS to see them — (in the
Cleveland Courier) ...”

THE ADVANTAGES OF A
SCHOOL SYSTEM'S BEING
ACCREDITED BY THE
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION
OF COLLEGES & SCHOOLS
The Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools is a regional
educational agency which accred¬
its public and private schools in
11 southeastern states. This asso¬
ciation was organized to IMPROVE
educational conditions in the
South and bring closer relations
between schools and colleges.
The association has operated in
the belief that education should
be continuously concerned with
the changing needs df its people.
Programs of the association have
inincluded studies in educational
research, graduate study, prepara¬
tion of teachers, the improvement
of instruction, and studies of the
factors that affect the region.
The first step in school evalu¬
ation and eccreditation involves
concise determination and state¬
ment of the school’s purpose. Af¬
ter this purpose is defined, then it
is possible to select criteria which
is indicative of the soundness of
the school’s operations and accom¬
plishments.
The central purpose of evalua¬
tion and accreditation involves a
determination df a level of quali¬
ty of excellence in the school pro¬
gram. The degree of excellence
which a school shall attain to hold
membership in the association is
determined by measuring its pro¬
gram in terms of general purpose
deemed sound for schools in the
southern region and in terms of
certain requirements necessary if
this purpose is to be accomplished
by a school.
Accreditation is sought on a
VOLUNTARY basis. The attain¬
ment of accredited status certifies
that the institution has met the
standards established by the as¬
sociation. The White County
Schools are planning to seek this
accreditation. This seeking of ac¬
creditation will enable the schools
to seek improvement and try to
meet the minimum standards of
the association.
These minimum standards which
the school must meet will require
improvement in several areas of
our school program. These stan¬
dards involve requirements per¬
taining to the Superintendent of
Schools, the use of community re¬
sources, schedules folr teachers
and students, the Board of Edu¬
cation, the Curriculum of the
schools, qualification of teachers
and other school personnel, the
physical plant of the school (buil¬
ding and playground), school en¬
vironment, financial support and
experimental programs.
If we are able to meet the
standards in each of the above
areas, we will be progressing to¬
ward higher degrees of quality and
excellence in our schools which
we have attained heretofore.
We need your help and cooper¬
ation to gain accreditation and I
know we will get all we ask for.
PI NET WOODS
PETE Says:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Something I read in last Friday’s
Journal distrubed me. It was about
the Fulton County war on poverty.
The article, putting $13 million
as the annual budget of Economic
Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. said that,
when fully developed, full-time and
part-time employes would be paid
$6,323,292, or nearly 50 per cent
of the entire budget. About 75
per eent of this payroll would go
to “staff, executives, social work¬
ers and the like. The remaining 25
per cent would find its way to the
poor in the form of pay-checks.”
There’s been talk of the pov¬
erty war creating a huge bureauc¬
racy. This set-up indicates the poor
will get- what’s left AFTER the
horde of new job holders has been
paid. i
Yours truly,
PINEY WOODS PETE.

// Not Dead
. .
But Sleepeth //
A reader found this old poem
and , thought , Augustans
joy it, might en¬
since Benjamin H. Mobley of
Cleveland, Ga., its author, obvious¬
ly referred to this city:
Where Savannah’s waters flow
Murmering neath Augusta’s tow
ers;
Where in softness, zephyrs blow
Mingled with the breath of flow¬
ers;
Neath the blue of Southern Skies
Mid where splendid marbles rise;
Under the grass, low under the
sod,
Waiting the waking trump of
God,
My mother’s mold’ring body lies.
No stately shaft of marble, there,
To mark her lonely grave is
found;
No mausoleum of beauty rare,
Only an humble grassy mound.
This, raised slightly ’bove the earth,
Marks the silent sleeper’s berth.
There, under the grass, low un¬
der the sod,
Waiting the waking trump of
God,
My mother’s mold’ring body lies.
What of these, though none there
be,
To mark where that form lies?
She’s mother, all the same to me,
The sweetest name beneath the
skies.
Thine could not be less to thee.
Nor mine could be no more to
me.
Yes, under the grass, low under
the sod,
Waiting the waking trump of
God
My mother’s mold’ring body lies.
It seems ’twas only yesternight,
When down the reaping angel
sped,
And with her soul, on pinions
light,
Back to the throne of God he
fled.
With aching hearts, with tearful
eyes,
We laid her body where it lies.
There under the grass low un¬
der the sod
Waiting the waking trump of
God
My mother’s molding body lies.
Where perennial waters flow,
Murmuring 'neath celestial tow-'
ers;
Over fields ambrosial blow
Zephyrs scented with breath of
flowers-,
Under the smile of fairer skies
Where no pall of mourning lies,
In the light of heaven, under
the smile o*f God,
Far, far above the earthly clod
My mother’s sainted spirit lies.

National Newspaper
Week
If any American institution is
entitled to sing its own praises ....
all questions of false modesty aside
— it is the American newspaper.
And National Newspaper Week,
which is to be observed October
10 through 16, provides that op¬
portunity.
There is nothing quite like the
U. S. press. In many countries,
the newspapers are propaganda
organs of government and willingly
or unwillingly abide by the wishes
and orders 01 those in political pow¬
er. In others, a few papers of vast
circulation blanket their countries,
and there is little exchange of
varying views. In others, corruption
and venality have destroyed the
public’s faith in the worth and
honor of its press.
Here, however, the newspaper,
with few exceptions, has been faith¬
ful to its trust. It has stood for
that in which it believes, regard¬
less of the shifting winds of poli¬
tics and of the pressures of pow¬
er. It stands, however difficult it
may be at times, for the freedom
of the press and of the right to
and advocate policies and
it considers vital to
the public interest.
We have, of course, newspapers
great circulation and internation¬
al prestige. And we also have—of
the utmost importance — thou¬
sands of smaller newspapers, week¬
and dailies, which serve their
and their audience in
a way nothing else can. These are,
in its own independent way,
guardians of a free United States.
