Cherokee Library Could Use $200,000
If Georgia’s Cherokee Re
gional Library were financed
according to the formula
recommended by the Ameri
can Library Association, it
would have more than $200,-
000 to spend on its branches
in Walker, Dade and Chat
tooga counties, which com
pose the region.
But Miss Betty Kemp, re
gional librarian, realistically
hastens to face the fact that
any such level of financing
is out of the question not
only now, but in the foresee
able years ahead. Probably
no library in the South, and
indeed many in other parts
of the country, is financed
at the ALA minimum level
standard.
On the other hand. Miss
Kemp hopefully points out
that much progress could be
made in the provision of
services and resources for
the 73.000 persons in the re
gion. with the provision of
more nearly adequate fi
nancing. still well below the
$3-per-capita recommended
average.
Current local financing is
perhaps less than 50 cents
per capita, Miss Kemp points
out. Political divisions with-
Postal Employees
Honor Jim Hollis
To express wishes of fe
licitations, the employees of
the Lyerly Post Office, along
with the members of their
families and special guests,
honored J. W. Hollis with a
congratulatory supper at the
Holiday Inn Motel Restau
rant, Rome, Friday evening,
December 30. This event was
commemorating Mr. Hollis’
retirement as a rural mail
carrier of the Lyerly Office
after 47 years of service. His
term being from November
1919 to December 1966.
Arriving as a group in
motorcade style, the guests
were delightfully welcomed
by the giant, lighted bill
board in front of the Inn
which had been lettered
especially for them and
read: ‘ WELCOME—LYERLY
POSTAL EMPLOYEES.”
The party room of the
restaurant was beautifully
decorated in a holiday
motif carrying hues of green
and beige throughout. The
dining tables, which were
arranged in a U-shaped for
mation, were overlaid with
beige linen cloths and were
accented by green linen
napkins. Artistic floral ar
rangements of yellow and
white gladiola and inter
spersed with pale green
feathered mums adorned the
tables.

in the region make contribu
tions to the library’s work,
but none of the counties levy
the 1-mill tax authorized by
Georgia law to be earmarked
for library purposes.
It is a depressing fact to
those interested in library
expansion that public opin
ion sometimes seems hardly
to grasp the significance of
the human values involved.
Citizens of Walker County a
year ago defeated a proposed
$50,000 bond issue which
would have been applied to
construction of an entirely
new and modern library
building in LaFayette.
That $50,000, Miss Kemp
points out. would have been
used to match some $200,000
in federal funds—no strings
attached—for building the
new library on a spacious
tract of land tailored to fit
the needs of the project, and
given—also without strings
attached—as a site for the
library.
Most of the $56,000 annual
budget of the Cherokee Re
gion comes from the state of
Georgia, and it is the only
money available for new
book purchases. The per
capita expenditure for 11-

around the tables as spe

designed for this occasion.
Preceding the meal, grace
was said by Rev. Johnny T.
Bryant. The menu consisted
of chef’s salad, baked ham,
green beans, candied yams,
spiced apple rings-atop-let
tuce baskets, rolls, ice cream
balls and iced tea and
coffee.
Following the meal re
marks were made by H. K.
Campbell, regional postal in
spector, U. S. Government;
Leonard E. Smith, Lyerly
postmaster, and Mr. Hollis,
the honoree.
The invited guests present
for the occasion were the
honoree and wife, Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Hollis; Mr. and
Mrs. H. K. Campbell, Vir
ginia and Garry, of Rome;
Mr. and Mrs, Leonard Smith,

From local sources, the li
brarian cites these figures:
Walker County, $6,000; the
city of LaFayette, $1,800; the
town of Chickamauga, $3,-

Russell Says Talmadge
ATLANTA,—(GPS) When
Georgia’s senior U. S. Sen.
Richard B. Russell received
WSB Radio’s annual Great
American Award in Atlanta
the other evening many
needed for other purposes.
The librarian asserts the
collection of books, records,
periodicals is broad and
varied, but is full of “gaps”
—most fields of reading and
research are represented, but
should be better represented.
The region had a circula
tion of 344,000 last year. Two
bookmobiles carry the li
brary’s resources to outlying
areas, and at school libraries
expand to a more nearly
adequate level, they can take
over some of the load carried
by the bookmobiles. Bright
spot: The region is acquiring
a third bookmobile.
Most probable center for
another library would be
Chattanooga Valley, Miss
Kemp states, but no plans
have as yet been shaped
toward that end. Member li
braries now are the Walker
County Library here, the
Rossville Public Library,
Chickamauga Public Li
brary, Dade County Library
at Trenton, the Chattooga
Public Library at Summer
ville, and the Menlo Public
Library.
words of praise were heaped
upon him. He heard mes
sages read from President
Lyndon B. Johnson and De
fense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara.
He heard Gov. Carl E.
Sanders, who was master of
ceremonies at the dinner,
and many others speak of
him in highest terms. But of
all the tributes perhaps
none was more fitting than
the one paid him by the man
who has worked side by side
with him in the Senate for
the past 10 years. Said Geor
gia’s junior U.S. Sen. Her
man E. Talmadge:
“Every citizen of this
great nation is indebted to
Sen. Richard B. Russell for
the devotion to duty, genius
and courage which he has
demonstrated so well in the
Senate for more than three
decades . . . For more than
30 years Sen. Russell has
tirelessly devoted all his
being to service to his state
and nation.
“No man commands great
er respect in the Senate
than does Georgia’s own
Dick Russell . . . Thanks in
large part to his efforts, this
nation has remained the
mightiest in the world, with
a strong and alert defense
establishment second to
none.’’

Howe’s Actions Draws
Criticism By Talmadge
ATLANTA (GPSI — U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
speaking to his fellow Geor
gians the other day, severely
criticized the U. S. Office of
Education for “concentrating
more on social reform than
on the improvement and
advancement of education
throughout the nation.”
Addressing a joint civic
club meeting sponsored by
the Dublin Civitan Club, the
senator asserted that U. S.
Commissioner of Education
Harold Howe is becoming
"one of the most controver
sial" officials in Washington.

tion indicate that it regards
the primary purpose of edu
cation as social reform and
enforced togetherness,” Tal
madge declared. “It seems to
be trying to take over con
trol of local school systems
in America, and protest is
mounting within the Con
gress and from the American
people.” He went on to say:
“The arbitrary and capri
cious school guidelines is
sued last March are an out
standing example of the new
line of dictatorial thinking
in the Office of Education.
These regulations are actu
ally orders from Washington
on how local schools are to
be operated.
“They set ratios and. per
centages and, under finan
cial threat and personal har
assment, declare in effect
’this is how we intend things
to be.’ They go far beyond
the law and even beyond
what the Supreme Court has
required.”
Sen. Talmadge also dis
cussed a proposed draft of
a bill disclosed last fall in
the U. S. Office of Educa
tion. Here’s what he said
about that:
"This so-called Equal Edu
cational Opportunity Act
calls for a multi-billion dol
lar program of busing, re
drawing attendance lines, ex
changed pupils from one dis
trict to another, textbook
revision and a horde of
other measures designed to
strengthen control by the
federal government over lo
cal schools. This latest ven
ture is nothing short of in
credible and it would be
sheer folly for it to ever find
its way to the floor of the
Congress.”
The senator said Georgians
“are a law-abiding people
who will comply with the
law whether they agree with
it or not, which is more than
can be said for some seg
ments of our society at the
present time. But the law
does not permit, and in fact
it prohibits, government reg
imentation such as that
which has been attempted by
the Office of Education.”

LOOKING FOR A BETTER YEAR ON 13TH
BIRTHDAY— This Friday the 13th begins Suzanne
Clark of Pennville’s 13th year and she is looking
for a lot better year than her 12th was. Four days
before her 12th birthday she fell off a horse and
broke out a front tooth. Suzanne fell victim to
double vision that required eye surgery in July and
only last week got the Doctors dismissal as all OK.
A broken left arm in early November, got the cast
off just before Christmas and now the young miss,
a student at Trion Elementary is stroking her fav
orite pet, a coal black cat named Priscilla, regu
larly carrying a rabbit’s foot, and depending on a
lucky horseshoe for the future. She is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Clark of Pennville.
