Maddox Will Begin
Own TV Program
ATLANTA-Lester Mad
dox, the public official, the
businessman, the lay leader,
the humorist, the philosopher,
and the patriot, is scheduled to
hit TV with a splash with his
own TV show.
Maddox, one of the nation’s
most controversial and best
known men, the former gover
nor and now lieutenant gover
nor of Georgia, will head his
own show, which is expected
to be one of the top-rated new
variety talk shows. Lt. Gov.
Maddox stated that he expects
like other entertainers his
friends to view and listen. But
unlike others, he feels that
both the curious and those
who dislike "ole Lester" will
also watch the show. Under
these circumstances, he would
expect one of the largest TV
audiences on the American
scene
Bob Parkinson, outstanding
Washington and New York
television producer who will be
executive producer of the
Maddox series and which will
be known as the “Lester Mad
dox . . U.S.A. Show,” said the
first two telecasts will be
“pilots" for a 13-week syndi
cated series.
Parkinson said the show will

open with a patriotic
choreographic number, featur
ing pretty girls in red, white,
and blue outfits. Outstanding
, stars of the world of entertain
ment will be featured as guests.
Each of the guests will be en
, gaged in a dialogue with
Maddox, whose personality
will pervade the entire show. A
mixed chorus of 40 voices will
sing inspirational hymns and
patriotic songs.
“It will simply be Lester
Maddox at his best” Parkinson
said.
Parkinson said the response
to the special and the proposed
series has been extremely satis
fying, both from the stand
point of sponsors and from the
standpoint of TV stations
which have expressed an in
terest in the series
Lt. Gov. Maddox, who has
walked out on more TV talk
shows than anyone else, said
the 30-minute programs, which
will be produced in the main
studio at WSB-TV’s White
Columns, Atlanta, will be
patriotic, inspirational, and
“just plain fun.”
"I’ll cook chicken and oc
casionally throw a piece or two
to those in the studio
audience,” said Gov. Maddox,
who walked out on both the
Joe Pyne and the Dick Cavett
shows when he charged they
had tried to present a false
image of the South.
Maddox, whose interests
other than politics includes a
shop of his own in Under
ground Atlanta, said he had
been thinking about doing his
own TV show for some time.
"I guess I have had ideas for
15 or 20 years about Holly
wood,” he said. “I sing, not
too well, but as good as some
already getting by on TV. I’ve
looked at people on television
and I say, man alive, if they
laugh at that guy and he’s
having to put on and it comes
naturally with me, it just
doesn’t make sense for him to
be making all that money.” He
added, he has always tried to
be different from the norm,
and that while it has become
“old hat” for entertainers to
enter elective public office, he
will start what may be another
trend. “I’m one public official
who is going to move into
show business rather than
follow those who go from
show business into govern
ment.”

Bering a good neighbor
an 014 AaasUaa €«stan
here was a time, not so long ago, when being a good neighbor was a
X real factor in getting America going - and keeping us on our way.
Um
In that day a man and his sons might cut and hew the timbers for a new
dwelling and frame them stoutly on the ground. But before the walls could be \ *
raised, before the roof could go on, these builders needed and received the help w v 4
of their neighbors. It was given generously in the old Colonial “house raising." jL
The same necessity for being a good neighbor, for helping the other fellow
whenever he needed help, was recognized in all departments of early American
life. Days of labor and the use of teams were exchanged as conditions of the
crops demanded. And in time of sickness, fire, drought, attack, each man was in
truth his brother’s keeper. / 1
Times are a little different now, but the basic idea is still the same. It '
just makes good sense to “Be a Good Neighbor” - it’s an old American Tradition! I /
