An editorial appeared in last week’s
edition of the Summerville News concern
ing the proceeding in the Superior Court
relative to the Bond validation proceeding
filed by the State of Georgia following the
School Bond Election of February 19, 1958.
So that any misapprehension may be re
moved and so that the public may have
the benefit of all the facts, the following
is added:
In the Bond Validation proceeding
which was before the Chattooga Superior
Court on March 14, 1958, the ballot box and
the ballots together with other election
data and documents were introduced in
evidence by counsels for the intervenors.
After the ballots and the contents of the
IT'S A SHAME
The News gladly accepted the above
statement made by the local Bar Associa
tion. We agree that the decision of the
court was made on the strength that at
torneys for the State and the attorneys
for the Board of Education said they would
abide by the count of the ballots.
However, we do not agree with the
court’s decision in admitting the ballot box
and its contents as evidence in the case.
Evidence was presented showing the ballot
boxes had been opened and left exposed for
many days to any person or persons who
had the nerve to make changes in the bal
lots to swing the election either for or
against the school bond issue.
WHEN THE BALLOT BOXES WERE
OPENED THE BALLOTS WERE NO
LONGER A SECRET. Evidence was also
presented before the recount of the bal-

WHERE TO NOW?
Unless the Chattooga County Grand Jury, through an
investigation, can produce evidence the recent $300,000
School Bond Issue is valid, the County Board of Education
is at the end of the rope—it’s back to the wall—and no
place to turn for financial help.
Superintendent of County
Schools Lowell Hix, and other
School Board members, have
exerted every effort to secure
money for improvements in
the county schools. These men,
in our opinion, have fully run
the string of responsibility. They
owe apologies to none. They have
worked diligently to keep our
school system within reasonable
boundaries of the requirements
demanded by State laws.
The Summerville News has
published thousands upon thou
sands of words telling the public
the many needs in our school
system Many photographs show
ing some of these needs were also
published in this paper.
For what earthly reason can
people neglect the education of
their childen? It all reverts back
to the minority being more ag
gressive than the majority. This
is not scuttlebut. Here's the an
swer to prove it. There are about
12.000 qualified voters in Chat
tooga County. The total number
of votes cast in the election was
1.740 Eleven ballots were de
clared void. However, adding

The count of the ballots disclosed that
more people had voted against the bond

and all of the ballots poured into one box.
In fact, County Court Clerk Sam Cordle
said ho was requested to bring the boxes
from his office to the courtroom on the
day the election was being contested. Know
ing there were fourteen boxes Cordle asked
for help to move them to the courtroom.
He later told a News reporter he went to
his office and picked up one of the boxes.
It was empty. He further stated he had
great difficulty finding the one box con
taining the ballots. We don’t think Sam
Cordle, Mrs. Margaret McConnell or any of
his office employees tampered with the
ballots. But somebody did. It is the sworn
duty of the Chattooga County Grand Jury
to find out who stole the Feb. 19th School
Bond Election, regardless of which side
won or lost.

county didn’t care enough, one

realize that if they want better

A tribute to our mother. Mrs.
T. R. Woods, who passed from
this life November 13, 1957.
Our dear mother's beautiful soul
has fallen asleep.
How sweet must be her rest!
A sleep from which she shall
never more wake to weep.
How peaceful is her breast!
After weeks and years of racking
pain.
After heartaches and fears.
She has gone beyond the storm
and the rain—
To the land of no tears.
She spoke her last words, then
passed away—
How fair she looked in death—
her gentle soul had fled,
The night of great sorrow had
passed: then twas day.
Our mother dear was dead.
We find in the old homestead,
A vacant place, an empty chair.
Her slowly moving footsteps.
We seem to hear them lingering
there.
We miss her every day,
Her crippled hand, white hair,
and face so light—•
No one can take her place,
No love so great, no life so bright.
She has crossed over life’s silver
river.
And how happy in God's great
I light.
To her we do not say fnrwrll.
We only say good night.

Gov. Griffin Urges Georgians
To Support Cancer Campaign
Month of April Designated as Cancer
Control Month; Griffin Signs Proclamation
Governor Marvin Griffin lias urged all Georgians to
observe April as Cancer Control Month ‘‘by learning the
life-saving facts of cancer and by giving generous support
to the American Cancer Society’s annual effort to raise
funds vitally needed for its programs of education, research
and service.”
The governor presented his of
ficial proclamation to Porter W
Carswell of Waynesboro, chair
man of the Education-Funds
Crusade Committee of the
American Cancer Society’s Geor
gia Division, and McKee Nun
nally of Atlanta, president of the
Georgia Division.
Mr. Carswell, who served as
state chairman of the 1957 Cru
sade, said the 1958 Crusade would
be conducted during April under
the leadership of the Hon. Frank
O. Evans of Milledgeville, U. S.
attorney for the Middle District
of Georgia.
Earlier this year. President
Eisenhower, by direction of an
act of Congress, proclaimed April
as Cancer Control Month na
tionally.
Governor Griffin said, “Cancer
took a toll of 250,000 lives last
year, and 75,000 of this number
died needlessly, only because the
disease was not detected and
treated early enough.
“The American Cancer Society
is seeking to eliminate this tragic
waste of life by telling the pub
lic the facts of cancer, and by
urging the health checkup as
the best protection against this
cruel disease.
“It is in the best American tra
dition for friends and neighbors
to join together to solve their
problems, and defeat of disease
is especially noteworthy for such
combined efforts of volunteers,
voluntary contributions and vol
untary organizations.”
The World's Need
What does the world need,
and what is the answer?
It is Christ. The whole world
needs Christ — our America
needs Him. our state needs Him,
our country needs Him, and our
homes need Christ.
We need Christ in our thoughts,
for our inward thoughts largely
make up what we are. If Christ
is in our hearts, our thoughts
and our words, our actions will
be Christ-like and our homes
will be Christ-like. What out
homes are. so will our children
be. and what our churches are
so will our town be. and our
county and our state, our nation
and the world. So it takes Christ
from the home on into the world,
thus we ought to get Christ into
the whole world by the word of
God.
People have to hear the word,
accept it, and believe it because
there is no other way. We ought
to lose no time, when people are
dying, unprepared to meet God.
Christian people, we ought to
let Christ be first in everything.
Anything we can’t let Christ be
first in, we should leave off.
Unsaved, if you read this.

“YOUR JOB"
Wherever you’re working—in of
fice or shop,
And however far you may be I
from the top,
And you may think you’re just,
treading the mill.
Don't ever belittle the job that
you fill,
For however your job may ap
pear.
You’re just as important as some
little gear
That meshes with others in some
big machine,
That helps keep it going—though
never is seen.
They could do without you—we’ll
have to admit—
But business keeps on, when the
big fellow' quits!
And always remember, my lad.
if you can
The job’s more important—(oh
yes)—than the man!
So if it’s your hope to stay off
the shelf.
Think more of your job than you
do of yourself.
Your job is important—don’t
think it is not—
And don’t think ever, you’re of
little account,
Remember, you’re part of the
total amount.
If they didn’t need you. you
would not be there—
So always, my lad. keep your chin
in the air,
A digger of ditches, mechanic, or
clerk-
Think well of your job, com
pany, yourself.
And your work.
—Sent in by Mrs. Lula
Mae Hunter
won’t you let Christ come into
your heart and save you?
