It Makes Sense
State Sen. Culver Kidd has introduced
a bill for semi-permanent auto license

get a small metal plate or sticker stating
A Parental Code Here?
One of the most difficult problems fac
ing parents is how far to let their child go
in “keeping up with the crowd”.
The lament, almost from the first grade
us, is: “But everybody else is doing it”.
Recently, however, parents in some
communities have faced up to the matter
by organizing and establishing a “parental
code”. Obviously, not all parents will join
or cooperate. But it is reasonable to hope
that enough will to influence the situation.
In Clayton County recently, the Clay
ton County Parent Teacher Assn. Council,
with a group of citizens and teachers,
worked out a code.
It stated, for instance, that elementary

The Minister
Speaks . . .
Ry the Kev. William E. Hotchkiss
Pastor of tlie Summerville
First Presbyterian Church
Once there was a preacher
who moved to a frontier settle
ment. Tills was an extremely
rugged place where Indians were
always on the war path and
where blood and violence were
the rule rather than the excep
tion
When the minister came to
the community, lie built a high
log fence around his house One
day, a tough man came to his
house riding a big mule. The
tough man said to the preacher.
We don’t like preachers around
here and I'm going to give you
until sundown to get out of here
or I m going to string you up to
that tree over there " The man
had hardly finished getting the
Words out of his mouth when
the preacher pulled him off the
horse and threw him over the
fence In a minute or two. there
was a voice from over the fence
which said, "Preacher, while
you're at it. would you mind
throwing the mule over, too’”
The question "Why?" people
often ask when tragedy conies
is the "mule" that ministers are
often asked to throw over the
fence.
There are times when death
comes to a young baby or when
some good person suffers that it
would appear that there is no

Even in the Bible we find in its
record the problem which men
had in st a king to understand
"Why?" such and such an event
took place in his or her life
It would appear that often
justice is not done in this life
Things are not always "evened

Loggins disclosed some weeks
ago that he would amend the
salary bills to increase the
amounts paid the office holders
and to provide for a $5,000
“emergency fund" from which
office holders could hire addi
tional help at the discretion of
the grand jury.
Loggins also said at that time
he would pass Floyd’s audit bill
but said he might make it es- :
fectlve for 1965 instead of 1963
as Floyd had proposed. The
audit bill provides for an annual
audit of each county office and
publication in summary of the
findings, retroactive to 1963
The senator said the proposed
state-wide sherifis' salary bill,
as he understood it, would not
affect Chattooga County's salary
bill. The proposed state bill pro
vides that all sheriffs be on a
salary basis by 1966 Various
proposals are being made on
I how the amount of the salary
would be determined
Floyd had proposed paying the
Chattooga sheriff $8,500 and
Loggins said he thinks he should
be paid $9,000
Loggins would like to pay the
clerk of court and tax collector
$9,000 each, while Floyd would
like to pay them SB,OOO each
Loggins would pay the tax re
ceiver $7,000, Flovd would pay
$6,000.
Loggins proposed increasing
the ordinary's salary from the
present $6,000 to $7,000 The or

permitted to participate in formal dating
and dancing. It said that junior high
students should confine such activities to
a group nature. It discouraged going
steady, urged greater courtesy, denounced
the use of tobacco, alcohol and narcotics,
suggested a reasonable night of sleep and
urged religious worship.
Such a code would not be the entire
answer. It would, of course, have to be
supplemented with understanding and
respect between the individual parent and
child, and with discipline.
But it might be worth considering.

Dear Editor and People of

serves, an alternate route will;
be planned, leaving the school
areas as free as possible for the
use they are intended.
I am opposed to this type
line being placed along the;
south property line, since there |
is a line of this type presently
located on the southeast side of
the school property and we
do not need the addition of
possible hazards, nor the limi
tation of future expansion,
plus the added ugliness of a
high power line along the
south line of the new Chat-;
tooga High School property.
Please consider this with our
future needs in mind, and let
the school board know your
opinion, so they can act for us
in the best interest of our chil
dren.

Notes From 20
Years Ago . . .
When Roy Gus Cook, seaman
1-c, reached New York Dec. 18
he discovered he and all on
board his ship had been reported
missing. He telegraphed his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cook, in
Lyerly and called his aunt, Mrs.
Mary Haygood, in Trion to tell
of his safe arrival in New York.
His ship had been lost and
damaged in a strong gale but
was repaired and brought on to
New York without loss of life.
Dec. 28th was a happy day for
Sergt. Wallace Kenneth Cook

years, but that he could remem

long.
As almost everyone had pre

from all across the nation who
were keeping their own members

to the civil rights bill.
In its present form the bill is
fraught with provisions which
are certain to produce strife in
most parts of the South, and I
regret that its proponents were
not willing to listen to the voices
of temperance and reason which
were raised against its harshest
parts.
The only remaining hope that
Its severity may be diluted to
any significant degree is in the
Senate, where it is possible to
use the filibuster as a bargaining
point. Though it is by no means
certain that a filibuster will suc

result, the hard fact of the
matter is that this procedure
offers the only hope.
CASTRO'S LATEST MOVE in
cutting off the water supply to
our naval base at Guantanamo
did not catch the United States
by surprise. The water source of
the naval base is a point on the
Yateras River some four miles
distant from the boundary of
the base. We have been buying
water from the Cubans since
1941, the annual water bill
amounting to about $168,000.
Ever since the first unfriendly
utterance of Fidel Castro toward
the United States, we have
known that this source of water
could easily be cut off or that
the water could be contami-
■ deductible.
The cost of medicines and
: drugs is deductible as medical
expense only in the amount it
. exceeds one percent of the tax
. payer’s income reported on line

You cannot deduct payments
for funeral expenses, cemetery

illegal drugs, life- insurance pre
miums, travel for a rest or

miums paid for health and acci
. dent policies covering loss of

The total of the deductible

Ifc/
nated. Since Castro’s commu
nist affiliations have become
known it is probably safe to say
that the water pumped into
Guantanamo Naval Base has
been tested more frequently and
more thoroughly than any other
water supply in the world.
It goes without saying that we
have also been ready to supply
our own water on a moment s
notice. While this entails a good
deal of added expense, it does
not in any way jeopardize our
continued presence in Guan
tanamo.
In my opinion, the action of
Cuba in cutting off our water
supply was due less to the inci
dent involving the Cuban fisher
men than it was for the effect
it is likely to produce upon our
efforts to negotiate a settlement
with the government of Pan
ama.
