people of Chattooga County may have a proper,
efficient and modern water supply. This will in
crease the industrial potential of the county and
will also enable farmers and other individuals who
presently depend upon wells and springs to have a
sufficient and cheap supply of water. This system
could be built in such away as the Federal Govern
ment will supply a grant of funds for the prelimi
nary plans and the balance of the financing can
be made available to a water district. Such system
will not be debt against the county, but will be self
sustaining and the cost of its acquisition can be
paid for from the consumers.

Mrs. Georgia 1964, Elaine Whitehurst of Macon, is shown on the
platform with Governor Carl Sanders., at the official Salute to
Georgia festivities which were part of the Georgia Day activities
at the New York World’s Fair. The day's program also included
the unveiling of a plaque about the locomotive “General”, lunch
at the Festival of Gas restaurant, sponsored by Atlanta Gas Light
Company and VIP tour of several pavilions. Theme of the day,
carried out by the band on Mrs. Georgia’s skimmer was “Sec
Georgia First.”
‘’Ga. Day’
Held at NY
World’s Fair
Some 100 Georgia ambassadors
invaded New York City and the
World’s Fair last week and as
sisted Governor Carl Sanders in
inviting the world to “see Geor
gia first.”
The group met at the Waldorf
to hear plans for Georgia Day at
the fair and mingled with var
ious New Yorkers, including Fair
representatives and reporters.
Things got underway Wednes
day at an early breakfast, pre
sided over by the Governor and
Mrs. Sanders. The menu in
cluded such famous Georgia pro
ducts as peach nectar, Talmadge
ham, fried chicken, grits and
other products. The ceremonies
at the fair grounds were kicked
off by the governor when he un
veiled the marker at the site of
The General, famous Civil War
locomotive.
It was not until the governor,
with a pretty assist from various
Georgia “peaches” began tossing
choice peaches to the crowd that
much excitement was generated.
Among the “peaches” tossing out
peaches were Miss Georgia, Mrs.
Georgia, Miss Georgia Peanut
and Miss Georgia Employee. La
ter the entire group handed out
special packages of toasted pea
nuts to some 10,000 fairgoers.
In the early afternoon the
governor and his party took their
places for the formal salute to
Georgia and the rains came. The
program moved on schedule be
fore hundreds of empty seats. A
handful of people withstood the
storm and there was at least one
DEAR VOTERS:
Several weeks ago I announced my candidacy for the office of Commissioner of Roads and Revenue of Chat
tooga County, Georgia, subject to the Democratic Primary to be held in tiffs County on September 9, 1964. I con
sider it to be now appropriate and timely to advise all of the citizens who are interested in this race as to what my
platform consists of in this race.
I realize the importance of the office of Commissioner and I thoroughly understand the impact that the admini
stration of this office can have upon the daily lives of all of our citizens, and if I am elected to serve as your Com
missioner, the office will be operated on an efficient and businesslike basis with conscientious and fair treatment
given to all.
My platform is as follows:
(1) I promise to fix and levy taxes on an economical and conservative basis and I see no necessity in enlarging
the present finances realized from the tax levy. The taxes that we pay to the county, federal and state govern
ments are already oppressive, and I will make every reasonable effort to see that taxes are not increased.
(2) I propose to obtain for the rural areas of the county which lie outside of the various municipalities a work-
who refused to be done in by the
drenching rains. She was Adeline
Jones, Negro woman of Sa
vannah, who has lived in New
York for 10 years. She obviously
was thrilled to be among “home
folk” again and she applauded
loudly each time the governor
referred to one of Georgia’s out
standing accomplishments.
Later the governor greeted her
personally. She shook hands
with him and turned to the
crowd and happily announced,
“That’s my governor.”
PLANTS BOYS
ATTEND CAMP
Donald and Marshall Plants,
sons of the Rev. and Mrs. Don
ald L. Plants, who are pastors
of the El Bethel Assembly of
God Church in Trion, left Mon
day for a week at Youth Camp
in Roosevelt State Park near
Pine Mountain.
Youth camp is a yearly affair
sponsored by the Georgia Dis
trict Council of the Assemblies
of God.
The boys will receive Bible
study along with handcrafts,
sports and Christian fellowship.
The theme of this year’s camp
is “Mountainers.” There will be
a “Sadie Hawkins Day” and a
Mountainers Supper (banquet)
on the final night of camp.
There will be vesper services
each evening. The boys will re
turn home Saturday.
Advertising in summer time is
a good way to build business
prestige for the future.
A free meal—if a good one—
is still a great attraction for
politicians, loafers, flies and a
number of other insects.
farmers can sell and display their wares and not
be required to be on the public streets. In this way
both the farmer and the buyer will be benefitted.
(4) I promise to faithfully encourage and co
operate with the Civil Defense activities and to use
the office of Commissioner to see that the activi
ties of all the Civil Defense workers are properly
coordinated.
(5) If elected I propose that the county ac
quire a fire truck and fire-fighting equipment, since
at the present time the fire departments of the vari
ous cities in the county are not authorized to go
outside their respective city limits, and in so doing,
the rural people, as well as those in the cities, can
at least have a minimum amount of fire protection,
and their insurance rates will be thus decreased.
(6) At the present time there is a desperate
need for a first-class and adequate rest home for
the aged in Chattooga County ,and if elected I will
do all that is within my power to see that a modern
Banks Major tenders to
Ga. Farmers, Study Shows
Georgia banks remain a ma
jor source of credit and other
financial services to agriculture,
according to D. L. McWhorter,
President, Farmers and Mer
chants Bank, who represents
the Georgia Bankers Association
as Chattooga County committee
man.
Based on the 23rd annual
farm lending summary of the
Agricultural Committee of The
American $ Bankers Association,
Mr. McWhorter reported that at
the beginning of the year, Geor
gia banks were helping farmers
with $127 million in loans, 10 per
cent more than a year previous. I
This total included $53 million I
in production loans and $74 mil
lion in farm mortgages. At the
same time, s4l million in farm
loans was held by life insurance
companies; $79 million by the
Federal Land Banks; SSO million
by Production Credit Associa
tions; and sl2 million in nonreal
estate loans plus $27 million in
real estate loans by the Farmers
Home Administration. About 46
per cent of the production credit
extended by lending institutions
to Georgia farmers came from
banks.
Mr. McWhorter said that
bankers in Georgia are conscious
of the large capital investments
required in agriculture today and
are making a concerted effort
through improved lending pro
grams to meet these changing
credit demands of the state’s
farmers.”
The increased use of credit by
farmers, according to Mr. Mc-
Whorter, has been accompanied
by a substantial gain in the
total assets of farm families.
Therefore, in the aggregate, the
equity position of farmers, con
trary to public opinion, is being
maintained at a satisfactory
level. Nationally, farm families
have $193 billion of their own
funds invested in agriculture.

If you are planning a fishing trip or other outing with the
family, don’t leave without first stopping by TRION DRUGS.
Pick up your FIRST AID SUPPLIES, SUNTAN LOTION, and
other little necessities that will make your trip more en
joyable.
This represents 85 per cent of
total capital requirements of
farmers.
Mr. McWhorter stressed the
importance of farmers and
bankers working closely together
to improve farm financial ar
rangements. He reported that 91
per cent of insured banks
throughout the country had ag
ricultural loans outstanding at
the first of the year, with 94 per
cent of the banks in Georgia ex
tending credit to farm people.

NW Ga. Angus
Field Day
More than 300 farmers flocked
to the recent field day of the
Northwest. Georgia Angus As
sociation at T. B. Bradshaw’s
Lazy X Ranch near Canton.
The featured speaker at the
event was Glen Bratcher, secre
tary of the American Angus As
sociation, St. Joseph, Missouri.
Bratcher predicted the beef in
dustry would become a world in
dustry like steel. Factors affect
ing the business anywhere in the
world in the future will have a
more pronounced effect on
farmers and ranchers than ever,
he said. Bratcher also pointed
out the greatest opportunities for
beef cattle expansion in the U. S.
were in the Southeast where
more emphasis each year is
placed on grass and forage crops.
In addition, he urged Angus
breeders to continue stressing
quality in the cattle they pro
duce in order to keep the black,
hornless animals in sharp de
mand.
Studying the Bible may not
end warfare, but it will improve
human beings.

ficiently in order to bring additional industry into
the area in order that more people of Chattooga
County may have paying and responsible positions

I earnestly solicit your vote and support on
