ROOSEVELT’S LITTLE WHITE HOUSE, at Warm Springs,
Ga., may be a major campaign stop for President Lyndon
Johnson when he visits the South this fall President Roosevelt
built the home in 1932; signed much major legislation here
including the REA bill; and died here 19 years ago. His home
remains essentially as it was on the day of his death but a new
museum and movie theatre are highlights of added features for
this leading Georgia tourist attraction. (PRN)

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
came to Warm Springs first in
1924 to test its pools as an aid
in recovery from infantile
paralysis. Later he built a
plain white cottage retreat -
the Little While House.
When he became president,
he continued to use his
Georgia retreat built in 1932,
for relaxation Since the cares
of the Presidents are never left
behind, many of the
important decisions of the
long tenure in office were
begun or completed in
Georgia
Even the most casual visitor
is struck by the cottages’
simplicity. Many of the details
are F. D.R.’s personal ideas,
although the architect was
Henry Toombs
Everything in the cottage
has been left just as it was on
that April day when the
President died suddenly. On
the wall of the simple kitchen
is the last note penned by
Daisy the cook. The
unfinished portrait of the
President on which Madame
Elizabeth Shoumatoff was
working when F.D.R. was
stricken has been presented to
the "Little White House" in its
unfinished form.
The odd assortment of
silver is typical of the odd
pieces so many American
families take to their summer
cottages. The cooking
untensils are odds and ends
There is no electric
refrigerator, instead the old ice
box which served the
President well still stands in
the back porch
The Presidential bedroom is
equally unpretentious The
imitation walnut furniture
matches the fading draperies
The bed is commonplace,
except for the stiff hair
mattress FDR couldn't
sleep on a soft mattress
Also on display are other
interesting items such as Mr
Roosevelt's exercne machine,
three of his wheelchairs and
his “walker" •• an ingenious
device to enable a polio victim
to gel around on his own feet
more easily than with
crutches In the garage is the
Model A Ford with specially
built manual controls which
Mr Roosevelt loved to dnve
The car usually stood wailing

think that the choice has
already been made, but they
forget that the man on the

voting booth. He may vote for
Pat Paulson, Pogo or even
Agnew on the street, but in
the voting booth, he will vote
for his family, his job, his
business, his freedom, his
country, he will vote for
himself.
While the misfits and
self-styled leaders of the
younger generation carry on
their colorful and noisy
“revolution” in the streets, in
the universities and in the
church basements, the
“untrustworthy” over-thirty
generation is carrying on a
sneaky silent revolution. They
are not out to get headlines;
they are out to get heads.
You won’t find them
singing out in the street,
they’re at home singing in
their bathtubs and they know
that come November, their
song will be heard from shore
to shore and their headlines
will become a memorable part
of history. The full effects of
the silent revolution, which
the Democratic Party appears
to ignore, will be felt.
There already is talk within
both national major parties of
compromise and that is good,
but in good conscience, I see
no possible way for me to
compromise.

Safety Campaign
I have been most pleased at
the warm reception my
campaign for highway safety
has received throughout
Georgia as I have attended
regional organizational
meetings.
As I said at the opening of
the campaign, we know our
record-keeping is not all it
should be and a study is now
underway to determine
methods of improving it. I
have found in talking with
court officials and local
enforcement agencies that by
and large these public servants
are doing an outstanding job
in enforcing our present traffic
laws. The breakdown comes in
the reporting system which
means the annual report of the
Department of Public Safety
must be carefully studied and
even then may not tell the
true story.
I have received pledges of
full support from not only the
enforcement agencies and the
courts but from civic groups,
educators, business leaders,
youth groups, veterans and
many others as I have visited
during last week.
I take this opportunity to
publicly thank those who have
worked to uphold the laws
and for those pledges of future
support in that area.
Georgia’s Future
I take great pride in
reporting Georgia’s growth
figures on new and expanded
industries for the fiscal year
ended June 30. Capital
investment for 181 new and
283 expanding plants totaled
$625,805,448, greater than
for the last two years
combined.
I want to express
appreciation to all of those
who have contributed to our
program of industrial
recruiting and pay especial
recognition to General Louis
Truman, executive director of
the Department of Industry
and Trade, Revenue
Commissioner Peyton Hawes,
who is a true ambassador for
Georgia, Lt. Gov. George T.
Smith and Speaker George L.
Smith and the entire General
Assembly for providing the
funds with which we have
conducted the greatest
promotion campaign in
Georgia's history.
The future is bright and I
am confident that our growth
shall continue and even
accelerate. I hope you share
with me my pride in these
accomplishments.

DOGS COST CATTLEMEN ONE MILLION DOLLARS
A survey just released by the Georgia Cattlemen's Association
indicates that members of the Association lost more than one
million dollars last year in calves killed by uncontrolled dogs.
The Association has called for legislation to help control loose
dogs. (PRN)
Georgia Cattlemen Sound
Call for Wild Dog Control
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
Georgia Cattlemen’s
Association has urged the
General Assembly to enact
strong controls over wild and
free-running dogs to stop
cattle losses due to dogs
estimated at more than one
million dollars last year.
Georgia livestock producers
lost nearly $2 million last year
to predators, primarily wild
and free-running dogs. Kills by
dogs have nearly doubled in
the past year.
The Georgia Cattlemen’s
Association and the Georgia
Swine Growers Association
have just completed a joint
survey which shows that the
average swine grower lost
$323.38 worth of livestock,
and the average cattleman lost
$241.16 during the year from
July 1, 1967, through June
30, 1968, because of
predation. This represents a
total loss for livestock men of
the state of $1,718,869.
These figures were obtained

"For ALL Your Printing Needs"
through estimates projected
from a sampling of five per
cent of the stockmen who
were selected at random.
Questionnaires were sent to
one stockman in every 20 in
the state.
In the questionnaires,
livestock growers were asked:
Have you had any cattle
disturbed or killed by dogs or
wild animals?
If killed, how many head
have you lost in the last 12
months?
Do you know what killed
or disturbed your stock? If
yes, circle which (buzzards,
coyotes, dogs, bobcats, others)
and give number lost and
dollar value.
The survey of cattlemen
showed that an overwhelming
majority of their predation
losses were due to wild or
free-running dogs. The figures
showed that 284 cattlemen
sampled reported losing 259
animals, of which 199 calves
were killed by dogs.
Swine growers, with 139
persons reporting, indicating
that among 726 lost animals,
247 were killed by dogs.
Buzzards (vultures),
according to the
questionnaires, accounted for
the most hogs, 274, but only
27 cow losses were credited to
these predators. ,
However, Robert L. Nash,
Executive Vice-President of
the Cattlemen’s Association,
and F.M. Stewart, President of
the Swine Growers
Association, pointed out that
many losses were charged to
buzzards simply because they
were sighted eating dead
animals. Both men pointed
out that cause of the animals’
death was probably due to
other predators or even,
perhaps, of natural causes.
Buzzards, they said are
primarily carrion eaters, and
rarely kill their own food,
although they may
occasionally kill small animals.
Most other predators leave
most of the animal behind,
and buzzards use up the
remains.
This is the second year such
a survey has been conducted,
and the current survey
indicates that kills of cattle by
feral (domestic dogs gone
wild) dogs and free-running
pet dogs increased from 5,000
calves the previous year to
8,000 during the past year.
The survey indicates that
one of every three cattlemen
and more than one swine
grower in seven have lost stock
to dogs. There are 11,610
cattlemen and 6,113 swine
growers in the state.
A total of an estimated
10,677 cattle and 32,083
swine were lost to dogs and
wild animals. Losses by
wildlife, such as bobcats and
coyotes, resulted in very low
percentages of the kills,
however Nash and Stewart
pointed out, these animals are
very rarely seen in the act of
killing or eating livestock.
Nash said that the survey
showed cattle losses to dogs
alone cost owners $888,058,
but that this figure did not
include the cost of
maintaining the cow another

$650,240 more for a total loss
of $1,538,298.
In addition, Nash said that
the survey did not include
weight losses or decreased
milk production to owners
caused by dogs chasing cattle
that were not killed.
“A committee of the
General Assembly has been
appointed to study the dog
situation and make a
recommendation to the
legislature for action,” Nash
said. “In view of the serious
economic losses caused by
dogs revealed by this survey,
the cattlemen of this state
believe that a strong law
should be passed next year to
help correct the problem.
“With the narrow margin
between profit and loss in the
cattle industry, we can’t stand
this kind of loss,” he said. “I
want to urge every citizen who
agrees with this to join us in
contacting his local legislator
and urging that prompt action
be taken.”
