’tbrily pursuing a full-time col
lege course, undergraduate or

tive Service registrant who in
tends to seek deferment as a stu
dent. He can take the test only

I “At the present time, Georgia
| local boards reach men for in
t duction at about age 22", Colo
; nel Hendrix said. “'Students gen
i erally can finish or be nearly
' through their undergraduate stu
' dies at that age. But those hoping
to continue studies in graduate
school, for example, will need a
deferment to do so. Also heavier
draft calls would lower the age
at which local boards reach men
for induction, and deferments
; might be necessary to finish un
dergraduate work."
i In either case, the State Direc
’ tor pointed out, a test score in'
• the file will give the local board
: an additional piece of important
j information to use in determining
। whether a registrant is eligible
for a student deferment.
Nation Close To
Losing Freedoms,
Talmadge Warns
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Georgia’s!
U.S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, I
long a staunch advocate of the
principle of local self-govern
! ment, returned home the other
I day with this warning to citi
zens of Georgia and the nation:
The continuing struggle to pre
serve the fundamental American
constitutional right of local self
government has entered “the cru
cian stage” and the future of all
the nation’s cherished freedoms
will be determined by the out
come, he declared.
Addressing a joint session of
the Georgia General Assembly,
the former Georgia governor
characterized the right of the
American people to govern them
selves on the local level as “the
keystone which holds up all the
other precious rights and free
doms won and protected by the
blood of American patriots over
the span of two centuries."
Its loss, Talmadge maintained,
would have the “inevitable result
of destroying all the others” and
he cited that as the reason why,
from the founding of the Repub
lic, enemies of individual free
dom- within and without the
country have concentrated their
efforts upon seeking to under-
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
, mine that basic right,
“Never before have they been
so close to achieving their devil
ish ends,” the senator’ said. “The
growing awareness of the Amer
ican people to this mushrooming
threat to their freedom is evi
denced by the frustration which
is rampant throughout the coun
try today.
“There is an increasing real
ization at the grass-roots of the
stark facts that citizens not only
have lost a large measure of their
power to deal with the prob
lems which beset them but also
’ are being asked to give up the
last vestiges of their authority to
manage their own affairs.”
Sen. Talmadge recalled the pro
phetic warning on this point
made by Georgia’s illustrious Sen.
Benjamin Harvey Hill in a speech
before the U.S. Senate on March
27, 1878, and read it to the joint
session as follows:
“I have said I do not dread
| industrial corporations as instru
। ments of power to destroy this
country, because there are a
thousand agencies which can
regulate, restrain and control
them; but there is a corporation
we may all well dread. That cor
poration is the Federal Govern
ment.
“From the aggressions of this
corporation there can be no safe
ty if it is allowed to go beyond
the well-defined limits of its
power. I dread nothing so much
as the exercise of ungranted and
doubtful powers by this govern
ment.
“It is, in my opinion, the dan
ger of dangers to the future of
this country. Let us be sure to
keep it always within its limits.
If this great, ambitious, ever
growing corporation becomes op
pressive, who shall check it? If
it became wayward, who shall
control it? If. it became unjust,
who shall trust it?
“As sentinels on the country’s
w-atchtower, Senators, I beseech
you, watch and guard with sleep
less dread that corporation which
can make all property and rights,
all states and people, and all lib
erty and hopes its playthings in
an hour, and its victims forever.”
Veterans Benefits
Amount To $62,772.50
Monthly In This Area
The Vidalia Field Office of the
’ Georgia Department of Veterans
Service assisted the veterans,
their dependents, or their survi
vors in this area to receive $62,-
772.50 per month or $753,270.00
for the year in benefits from the
Veterans Administration during
1961. This is in the field only of
monthly payments of Compensa
tion and Pension, not taking into
consideration Lump Sum Awards
or money that is lent on direct
loan basis for housing which put
veterans and their families in
homes, making them substantial
citizens, taxpayers and home
owners in your locality. A good
percentage of these home owners
would not have been able to own
these homes if it had not have
been for this loan program and
someone locally that was able to
keep them informed and help
them secure these loans.
The Vidalia Field Office of the
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service serves Toombs, Treutlen, i
Montgomery and Wheeler Coun- ■
ties.
This money was paid to the,
veteran or his survivors in the j
form of death claims, compensa- i
tion, pensions, education benefits, -
or GI insurance claims in recog- ;
nition of the veteran’s wartime !
service to his nation at consid-:
enable personal sacrifice to his i
own economic progress or his;
physical health.
By their very nature, these
sums flow immediately into the j
local economy in the form of pur
chases at-local retail stores, there
by creating local jobs, support
ing local churches and schools, i
and even paying local taxes.
State-wide the Department of
Veterans Service assisted Georgia
veterans or their families in se
curing more than $l3O million in
benefits from the VA in 1961.
This valuable income to the
state from the federal govern
ment amounts to more than the
total income realized from the
state’s production of its celebrat
ed peach and cotton crops com
bined and exceeds the payroll of
its largest industrial plant.
Lighting the way ci men to
betterment is the finest profes
sion known.

Ga. Traffic Law
Violator To Get
License Punched
| Gone are the days when viola- 1
I tors of Georgia’s traffic law’s can '
I get by with a simple warning
I from state troopers. Their every
■ offense is now being permanent
jly recorded by the State Patrol
j— and this can add up to lots of
! trouble for the errant motorist.
-He can lose his driver’s license
■ if he becomes a repeater.
I A general order from Major
'E. B. Harbin, commanding offi-
I cer of the State Patrol, has gone
I out to all 34 patrol posts which
reads:
“Effective Feb. 1,1962, the Uni
form Division will revert to the'
policy of punching drivers' licen
ses for traffic violations. The code
ito be used in punching licenses
;is as follows:
: “(1) Speeding; (2) right of way
violation; (3) following too close
ly; (4) failure to observe stop
sign; (5) improper passing; (6)
failure to signal or improper sig
nal; (7) driving on wrong side of
road; (8) defective equipment
(lights, brakes, etc.”)
A punch has been issued to
each patrol car, plus one for each
of the post headquarters. Not
only is the license punched, show
ing the offense, but the informa
tion is sent to patrol headquar
ters in Atlanta and placed in the
licensee’s permanent file. If for
any reason a replacement be
comes necessary, the new license
will be punched showing the same
violations that appeared on the
<
old license. ,
The state patrol used this li
cense “punch system” up until
about mid-1951. And then for
some reason (nobody seems to .
know just why) the practice was
discontinued. Why is it .being
brought back now?
“It’s simple,” declared Col. H.!
Low-ell Conner, state public safe- • ।
ty director. “We have been issu-1 :
ing thousands of warnings each ' ■
year for speeding, running stop ,
signs, faulty equipment and these '
other violations, but it didn’t
seem to do much good. ’
“One reason is that a trooper i (
w-ho stopped a violator had no ;
way of knowing if he had been
previously warned. But now, un- ,
der our punch system, the troop
er will immediately know- if the
violator is a repeater. If his li
cense shows as many as two
punches for the same offense, the (
driver is arrested and a case made
against him.” (
In most of these cases a driver 1
can have his license suspended, •
ranging from one month to six •
months, Col Conner said. In some .
instances a first offender can
lose his license. For example, did :
you know that speeding 15 miles :
an hour or more above legal lim- ,
its calls for automatic suspension i
of a license for one month?
“Well it does,” emphasized the ;
safety director. “And we’re go
ing after these and all other traf- :
sic violators with everything ;
w-e’ve got. If we can stop people
from violating traffic laws, w T e
can reduce the number of acci- i
dents and resultant deaths and | ■
property loss.”
READ FOOD LABELS
Reading labels on food contain- '
ers is a good investment of time,
says Dr. Mary Gibbs, Extension 1
consumer marketing specialist. In '
accordance with law, the label
must tell the name of the prod
uct, net weight or liquid mea
sure, name and address of the
packer or distributor and the list ;
of ingredients where two or more
foods go into an unstandardized
product.
