Nominees for ASC
Group Being Sought
Chattooga farmers are re
minded that slates of nominees
for membership on ASC commu
nity committees now are being
established at the ASCS county
office.
And a special effort is being
made to secure the greatest pos
sible participation of eligible
voters in the election, it is
stated.
Harris L. Edwards, chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Chattooga County
Committee, said farmers who are
eligible to vote in the committee

A PLUNGE
TO PLEASE YOU
Through the years the trend in the price
of electricity has been downward
All eyes turn to the breath-taking beauty
and grace of an expertly performed swan
dive. It never fails to thrill.
There is another plunge that should in
tereSt the budget-minded (and who isn’t,
in these days of high prices?), it’s the
drop in the price of electricity.
While nearly everything else was going
up—up —up — in price, electricity was
coming down. Today you are getting more
than 2* ■> times as much electricity for your
money as our customers did 30 years ago!
The price you pay per kilowatt-hour is
22.1 percent below the national average.
Isn’t that convincing proof that your elec
tric service here in Georgia is the biggest
bargain in your household budget?

J. C. BAGLEY, Agent Summerville, ga.
i elections also have the right to
nominate as candidates for com
; mittee membership any farmer
who is eligible and willing to
: serve. Such petitions, signed by
six or more eligible voters, may
be filed at the county office any
time before Friday, July 31.
Additional nominations may
be made by the incumbent ASC
community and county commit
tees, if these are required or
determined desirable.
“We want the best men avail
able to serve on our ASC com
mittees,” Chairman Edwards de-
> dared, “because the committee
■ system is the backbone of farm
• programs—those dealing with
1 conservation of soil and water,
' as well as the price support
activities in various commod
ities. In the last couple of years,
the farmer-elected committee
’ system unique in the history of
' agriculture, has come under con
siderable scrutiny. As a result of
intensive study by official
groups, the system is not only
being retained, but has been
greatly strengthened.”
Here in Chattooga County,
Mr. Edwards points out, the im
pact of ASC committee-admin
istered programs on the welfare
of individual farmers, and col
lectively on the life of the coun
ty, is considerable. For instance,
last year 1,979 acres of farmland
were improved under the Agri
cultural Conservation Program
cost-sharing arrangement. This
cost $70,000, with about half
coming from the participating
farmer and the balance from
ACP.
Continuing, he listed price
support payments in the county
last year totaling $86,000. In
cluded in the price-support pro
gram in this county are such
major commodity programs as
feed grain and wheat stabiliza
tion.
“So you can see that ASC com
mitteemen in Chattooga County
are in effect board members of
a big ‘business,’ the Chairman
continued. “This points up the
urgency in getting out the
greatest possible percentage of
farmers in community elections,
so that the committeemen they
select will more nearly repre
sent the thinking of a majority
of farmers.”
A “farmer eligible to vote in
the committee elections,” ac
cording to the Chairman, is gen
erally a farmer who is taking
part or is eligible to take part
in one or more of the national
farm programs which the ASC
committee helps to administer.
A person eligible to hold office
as a committeeman — among
other qualifications—is a local
resident who is eligible to vote
in the election. Further infor
mation on these and other
qualifications may be obtained
from the ASCS county office.
The election of ASC com
munity committees throughout
Chattooga County will be held
August 11-21 and will be by mail
ballot. Boundaries of the Chat
tooga communities are: Cold
water. Dirttown, Teloga, Lyerly
and Summerville.
Each community election will
choose three’ community com
mitteemen and two alternates.
The chairman, vice-chairman,
and regular member of the
elected ASC community commit
tee will also serve respectively
as delegate, alternate delegate,
and second alternate delegate to
the county convention to be held
soon thereafter, where the ASC
county committee will be chosen.

Ed Chapin
Officially
Nominated
Seventh District Congressional
Candidate Ed Chapin received
his party’s official nomination
at an executive committee meet
ing of District Republicans held
July 22 in Rome.
Chapin, a Goldwater booster,
will be the Republican Party’s
choice for Congress representing
the 14 counties of the Seventh
District. John Davis, of Sum
merville, is the Democratic can
didate.
Chapin and Dorsey Dodgen, of
Marietta, who have just re
turned from serving as delegates
to the Republican National Con
vention in San Francisco, were
complimented for their strong
endorsement of Senator Barry
Goldwater at the Convention. In
reporting to the Executive Com
mittee on his experiences at the
Convention, Chapin stated, “I
was tremendously impressed by
the caliber of the Goldwater
delegates. They were a fine, rep
resentative cross-section of Re
publican Party leadership, and
are responsible, thoughtful peo
ple dedicated to conservative
ideals.”
Chapin told the Republicans
attending the meeting that he
would begin an aggressive cam
paign to present vital issues to
the voters of the Seventh Dis
trict, and that he expected en
thusiastic support for the con
servative viewpoint and a clean
sweep for Republican candi
dates.
Other Republicans who have
already announced they will run
for offices in the Seventh Dis
trict are R. S. Thomas, of Dal
ton, who seeks re-election as a
State Senator; John Stokes, of
Dalton, running for the office of
Conasauga Circuit Solicitor Gen
eral; Ben Jordan, of Marietta,
for State Representative; Bob
Livsey, of Marietta, for the
School Board of Cobb County;
and Dave Legg, running for the
office of Sheriff of Catoosa
County.

A petition from a group in
Northeast Cobb County to or
ganize a new church was hon
ored, and the Church Extension
Committee of Cherokee Presby
tery appointed a commission to
organize this new church on
Sunday, July 26.
A memorial to the late Charles
Judson Harris, former pastor of
the LaFayette Presbyterian

Every duty which we omit,
obscures some truth which we
should have known.
