COUNTY COMMISSIONER V W
With the help of the people of Chattooga County, I have had seven years of accomplishments to the different de
partments of Chattooga County and during the last eight years I have had the privilege of operating the county
and placing the tax money where I thought it most needed. I ■
For this fifteen years experience I owe everything to you for placing me in this position for two terms as Commis
sioner, plus 7 years as Warden.
Since being employed by Chattooga County, I have had the privilege to see several accomplishments that I personally have either directed or worked
with. I do not regret the extra hours I have given that my job does not require but every person on the payroll must be paid and the less foremen and su
pervisors we have give us more money to spend on our roads and other projects.
The person that handles the revenue of Chattooga County needs to know the roads, the condition of the roads and then he is able to say how much can
be spent on each project.
There are over 300 miles of paved roads in Chattooga County that I have helped pave. I will, if re-elected, continue this move towards every road in the
county that school buses and postmen travel be improved and paved.
Since being employed by the county, I personally have helped build new a jail, Sheriff's home, Health Center, Nursing Home, Library, improvements to
Courthouse, Hospital and Work Camp and many other projects without raising your county taxes.
Space will not permit the numerous improvements to our schools, recreation and other things you have helped me do and support.
The above improvements are completed and we would appreciate carrying out our program for four more years.

PAID POLITICAL ADV. — PAID FOR BY HARRY POWELL
on two of his favorite sub
jects-rural development and
free school lunch programs,
both of which he has spon
sored in the Senate. Here are
some of the things he had to
say:
First in Macon, Sen. Tal
madge told the Georgia Com
munity Action Association’s
first annual meeting that the
number of free or reduced
priced school lunches given to
needy Georgia children has
more than doubled in the last
two years.
“In Georgia,” he said,
“approximately 300,000 needy
children received free and
reduced priced lunches last
year on a daily basis, compared
to only about 180,000 in
1969-70.
“This represents an increase
of 52 per cent in Georgia. We
can take great pride in the fact
which also contains barbecue and picnic areas, as
well as flowers and shrubs. The park is situated on
that our state has become a
model for the rest of the
nation in school food pro
gra ms.
“Translate these figures into
more meaningful terms. They
mean that twice as many free
and reduced priced lunches are
being served today as two years
ago. Almost twice as many
needy children are being
reached by the program. In
sum, hungry children are being
fed as never before.”
Turning to the economic
situation, Sen. Talmadge said
“we are having real difficulty
in bringing about a meaningful
extension and improvement of
the economic opportunity
program. The executive branch
appears to be more interested
in researching and short term
pilot projects than in settling
down to serious implementa
tion of workable action pro-
grams.
“We in the Senate do not
agree with this tendency and
have tried to enact some legis
lation that will provide jobs
and houses and improved busi
ness activity in the rural areas.
And we have been successful.”
The Georgia senior senator,
who is chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, added:
“1 have become convinced
through my observations and
studies of rural problems that
the first thing we have to do is
assist rural communities in
overcoming a condition of per
sistent and highly prevalent un
employment and under
employment and low incomes.
“1 do not believe that rural
areas can grow and prosper on
a permanent dole. I do believe
that resource development and
work at productive jobs is a
solution to rural ills. More and

better jobs and higher income
will do more for rural America
than anything else.”
Speaking along the same
lines to the newly-organized
North Fulton Chamber of
Commerce in Sandy Spring,
Sen. Talmadge hailed progress
of his rural development legis
lation, but emphasized that the
job has only begun. He said
Congress should keep behind

revitalize rural and small-town

“The momentum we have
gained thus far must not be
allowed to falter,” he asserted.
“We have generated too much
interest and too much national
attention in rural development
to allow this opportunity to
slip from our grasp.”

why one country is Europe’s
largest trader and the other
sinks into economic distress.
