Mr. Jim Davidson, Editor

Cleveland, Georgia
Dear Jim:
Since October 10 through Oc¬
tober 16 is National Newspaper
Week, I thought it a good time
to say thank you for the fine job
you are doing.
We see Television, hear Radio,
and attend public speaking, but
none of this can take the place of
the printed word. It gives one a
chance to scrutinize those things
that are of interest to the public
welfare. The fast pace we are set¬
ting today and the variety of phil¬
osophy that is thrown at us from
every angle can quickly shape
one into something he never in¬
tended to be. Good newspapers
with thoughtful editors are surely
a guiding light.
Keep up the good work and
may we thank you many times
over for the publicity you have
given over the years to the pro¬
gram on which I work and to the
community in general.
Sincerely yours,

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”

What's Going On
In Your
White County Schools
By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent
GEORGIA EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION
MEETS IN GAINESVILLE
White County teachers attend¬
ed the 9th District Georgia Edu¬
cation Association at Gainesville
on October 22. The speeches were
very good, but 1 guess the best
part of a meeting such as this is
the fellowship with others and
finding out what is going on in
other schools. There was a large
number of White County teach¬
ers present.
Skiing Indoors Termed
Fastest Way to Learn
More and more would-be skiers
are learning now and skiing later.
Indoor training before ever set¬
ting ski on a slope is the latest
thing. And most experts vigorous¬
ly applaud it.
Many novices now sign up for
ski sessions inside a gym and there
they learn some of the basic rudi¬
ments — how to stand, how to
go straight downhill, and how to
“snowplow.” This saves them time
later when they get on a real
slope. It aslo helps save some
awkward spills.
Indoor pre-ski preparation is
seen as an especially American
trait. French Olympic downhill
gold medalist Jean Vuarnet notes
it and thinks it makes Americans
into good skiers faster, on the
whole, than Europeans.
Student Welfare Jobs
Approved by Council
In a session marked by vocal
exchanges, the Board of Estimates
today approved 36 new tempor¬
ary “social welfare student” posi¬
tions.
Casting the only dissenting vote,
Comptroller Hyman Pressman com¬
plained that the Welfare Depart¬
ment was too concerned with re¬
cruiting parttime workers, and said
it was not hiring enough full-time
case workers.
Welfare Director Esther Lazarus
said: “This is a routine matter
that’s been going on 25 years. If
I had known that I was going to
have to defend the proposal I would
have been more prepared.”
“Maybe this will be a lesson to
you,” commented Mayor McKeldin.
Miss Lazrus maintained she was
encountering difficulty in filling
58 case worker vacancies. She
said the only present way to fill
openings was to hire student work
ers.
The stuednts are paid $5,200 a
year for two days’ work each week
while attending school three days
a week to earn masters degrees.
After receiving their masters,
studens must work for the depart¬
ment for at least two years, full
time, for an annual salary of
$7,420.
Under close questioning by Coun¬
cil President Thomas J. D’Alesan
dro III, the welfare director admit¬
ted that only a moral obligation
keeps former students on the full¬
time employment payrolls a full
two years.
But she added that the workers
usually leave shortly afterward
for better-paying jobs elsewhere.
Trends...
The time seems coming when
“His Honor” will widely mean
mayor of the county — not just
the city.
About 15 counties already are
run by eleceted chief executives.
And more than 50 counties have
managers picked by county boards.
Other counties are looking into
it — Montgomery County (Dayton)
in Ohio, and Rock County in south¬
ern Wisconsin, for instance.
Most of the 3,043 counties in
the country are governed by board
of supervisors or commissioners.
But if this trend the other way
keeps up, it may hurry a new
city-county relationship.
With stronger county govern¬
ments headed by mayors, some
cities may turn more functions
over to them.
Already the city of Milwaukee
has plans to hand over its ruh
bish collection, library, and mu¬
seum services to Milwaukee Coun¬
ty, which has a “His Honor.”
No Veto Planned
Editor, The Wall Street Journal:
Your editorial “The Bill for Bill¬
boards” (Sept. 22) expressed op¬
position to President Johnson’s pro¬
posed highway beautification leg¬
islation largely qg the ground
that it represented intrusion on
state’s rights, which you concluded
mainly from your understanding
that “it permits the Secretary of
Commerce to veto, if he chooses,
state or local moves to rezone for
industry or commerce along high¬
ways not so zoned now.”
The legislation proposed by the
President, and that passed by the
Senate and reported by the Senate
Public Works Committee, contains
no suoh veto. It provides that
zoning actions by the state or the
community are conclusive, and
that if a state or community should
zone an area for industrial or
commercial use that area would
be exempt from the billboards
prohibitions of the legislation.

Filling a Vacuum
Editor, The Wall Street Journal:
Re your recent editorial “The
Decline of Liberalism”: I agree
with your conclusion that the in¬
tellectual vacuum that has built
up in our lives could be made the
stepping stone to the genuine up¬
grading of the guiding belief of
our society by working to convert
our creed of materialism into one
of high quality in the spiritual
function of life.
But it is difficult to see how
this can be done by turning away
from the authority of Government
and from the excessive devotion
to mass-man or from the conform¬
ity of the collective, which frank¬
ly, we never have had. The ac¬
complishment of such devotion
actually well could help to fill the
present void in our existence.
Also, a reappraisal of the worth
and dignity of the individual —
if this included the poor — could
be a leading step in the accom¬
plishment,
Sismondi, the most discerning
critic of classical economic
thought, found long ago that ex¬
perience did not support Adam
Smith’s theory that social bene
f'.ts always result from individual
initiative and enterprise. Experi¬
ence, also supports Sismondi in
his contention that “no nation can
be considered prosperous if the
condition of the poor who
form a part of it — is not se
cure ...”
As you say, putting poor people
better housing does not neces¬
sarily provide them with moti¬
to become effective mem¬
of society. Here, however, the
definitely is to be found
the putting, wihich with us us¬
provides no solid stake for
the poor in our system.
The FHA 221(d)3 program for
housing,
instance, would be more ration¬
were it not designed virtually
to give the title to property paid
under Government auspices by
poor to the sponsors of these
Here, unless my standard
of fair-play is inordinate, the Gov¬
sense of justice simply
does not extend to these tenants.
But for the overriding urge
us to take advantage of
a real chance to upgrade
the quality of our guiding beliefs
stem from Congressional
to direct the most en¬
people in the world to
able to succeed without basely
the poor to the advantage
the vested. Even so, such legis¬
might help a democratic
like ours to become more
ease with itself, might even
to infuse new meaning into
way of life.
The vacuum waits to be filled;
whatever is to be done about
should result from sound obser¬
and reasoning, from pro¬
ductive rather than preditory ex¬
ploits, from total rather than in¬
dividual involvement.
