handguns out of the wrong hands.
The NRA will tell you that steps to con
trol the sale of handguns by state or local
governments aren’t working. That, too, is
rubbish. In California in one year alone,
1,200 prohibited handgun buyers were
screened out through the state's waiting
period. And in New Jersey, since enact
ment of a background check for handgun
purchases, nearly 10,000 convicted felons
have been caught attempting to buy han
dguns at gun stores.
John Hinckley walked into a Dallas
pawnshop, purchased a Saturday Night
Special, and a few minutes later was on his
way, ready to shoot the President. A
waiting period and background check
could have stopped him. He lied about his
address and used an old Texas driver's
license to purchase that handgun. He was
not a Texas resident. Had police been
given the opportunity to discover his lies,
John Hinckley might well have been in jail
instead of on his way to Washington.
We recognize that there is no panacea
for crime, but good legislation will help.
Such legislation should include a waiting
period and background check for handgun
buyers, licensing of handgun owners, safe-

ty training for new handgun owners, and
halting the sale and manufacture of snub
nosed, Saturday Night Specials —the
favorite weapon of criminals.
These steps could become part of the
solution to handgun violence. Legislation
that protects the rights of law abiding
citizens, while at the same time protecting
the American public from rampant han
dgun crime, can and must be written. The
key here is compromise.
If you agree, urge your Congressman
to oppose the McClure-Volkmer bill, and
to sit down with law enforcement and
work out a bill that protects all our rights,
but does not make it so easy for the Hin
ckleys of the world to purchase handguns.
I hope the day will come when no fami
ly has to go through what we endure every
day of our lives now, and that is why I feel
I must speak out on this all-important
issue. I know that the McClure-Volkmer
Bill is not part of the solution. It is part
of the problem. Let's urge the NRA to get
in step with law enforcement and our
citizens and help Congress write legisla
tion that will make it harder for criminals
to obtain the tools of their trade.

Cleland Testifies
Before Committee,
Wants Revision
Testifging before the
United States House of
Representatives Subcommit
tee on Elections, Georfiia's
Secretary of State Max Cleland
Thursday said a regional
Presidential Preference
Primary in the south will allow
candidates to focus more on
important issues facing the
country, and ‘‘most important
ly, increase voter awareness
and, thus, turnout.”
Cleland, who serves as
Chairman of the State Election
Board, told the subcommittee
that while he would suport
some type of national regional
primary system, southern
states have shown that federal
legislation is not necessary.
Seven states in the South
have committed to holdin
their 1988 Presidentiafi
primaries the week of March 8,
and seven other states will be
considering similar measures in
coming months. PR
“As many of you know,"”
Cleland told the Congressmen,
“the Congress has reviewed
some 300 measures in the past
75 years to regionalize the
primary system. But such a
system has not become reality.
I am convinced that at the
present time, fiven the com
rlexities of differing elections
aws in each state and the man
dates of individual state con
stitutions, a national system
cannot be put into place by
1988. But I also think, and the
southern states have shown,
that area states can ban
together for a unified region
without federal legislation.”
Because of his early in
volvement in attempting to
change the primary system,
Cleland was refluested to
testify before the House panel.
He answered questions posed
by the Congressmen refarding
the possible benefits of chang
ing to a regional concept.
Cleland said the current
system is ‘‘the most chaotic,
unorganized, and Fatchwork"
means in the world for selec
ting a head of state.
~ Cleland also thanked the
Southern Le%islative Con
ference and the Council of
State Governments for the
work they have done to bring
about the regional primary.

Investing in an Individual Retirement Account makes great sense, but
opening now before April 15, 1986 makes even better sense. You can
have an immediate tax break because by investing now you can deduct
the amount you deposit on your 1985 income tax returns (up to $2,000).

Cotton Program Will
Affect Chattooga Farmers
To protect cotton farm in
come and maintain a com
petitive market position for
upland cotton in world
markets, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture announced a 25
percent acrea%e reduction pro
gram for the 1986 upland cot
ton croY(.
Hank Hammond of the
Chattooga County ASCS Of
fice said that partici?ating
farmers will be eligible for
federal target price grotection
of 81 cents per pound, and pro
jected deficiency payments of
26 cents per Hound. The 1986
loan rate will be determined
later.
“Upland cotton producers
who sign up for the program
may request 30 percent of their
projected deficiency payment
at that time. Farmers who ac
c?t the 7.8-cents per pound
advance cash payment and
later fail to comply with pro
gram requirements must re
und the amount of the ad
vance with interest, plus li
qu_igat,ed damages,” Hammond
said.
Bids are now being taken for the mow
ing of the grounds at the City of Summer
ville Water Treatment Plant located on the
Filter Plant Road and at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant located on Red Oak
Road. For further information contact Mr.
Cecil Reynolds Supervisor at the Water
Treatment Plant at 857-3075 or Mr. Jerry
Ricketts Supervisor at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant at 857-1310.
Bids should be in by 5:00 p.m. Mon

He said that one of the
most attractive fe:}tlures of this
year's program is that program
part,ic::;ants will be el?gilfire to
earn deficiency payments on
the acres planted within the
permitted acreage. In other
words, those who plant at least
50 percent of the permitted
acreage to upland cotton and
plant the remaining permitted
acres to conserving uses or to
a non-program crop other than
soybeans or extra long staple
cotton, will receive payment on
92 percent of the permitted
acreage.
The ASCS official said
farmers who participate in the
1986 upland cotton acreafe
reduction program will help
control surplus cotton stocks,
and at the same time, restore
the crop’'s competitiveness in
worll)d markets. .
