The last hope of the Marvin
Griffin crowd to get a third man
in the governor's race has van
ished. Erwin Mitchell is not go

Stale Senator has not announced
this, yet, his close friends say
Shat he has given up the idea.
“They say that Senator Mitchell

entry in the race would strength

them is the last thing Mitchell
wants.
The writer has known Mitehell
Mar many years, and his father

descended from the distinguished
Wright Mitchell cannot help but

Obviously, Mitchell’s ideas are

A number of people are saying
that State Senator Carl Sanders
has made big gains in his race
for Lieutenant-Governor. They
i base this on the great amount of
publicity he received during the
recent session of the legislature.
Admittedly, Carl did receive
good publicity, and a lot of peo
ple are talking about him. But,
and it’s a big BUT, the voters
who are now saying they’re for
I Sanders would have been for
him, anyway, sooner or later. We
refer, of course, to the Negroes,
I liberals, Atlanta Newspapers,
Inc., and that crowd.
If Carl has gained any appre

Chapel Os All Faiths — Milledgeville
Irville H. MacKinnon, M.D., Superintendent
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.” Faith is linked with our deepest hopes,
our most treasured ambitions and all the human relation
। ships. It is one of the strongest influences in maintaining
normalcy in the human psychological system and represents
the spiritual mortar which cements together man’s soul,
mind and body and enables him to function with confidence,
security and serenity in a world beset by insecurity and tur
moil. Faith is man’s shield and buckler against life’s frus
trating situations and gives strength, continuity and purpose
to all human endeavor.
People who are mentally ill lose confidence in them
selves, their family and friends and the world in general. As
faith weakens, insecurity, fear, anxiety and lack of control
dominate. The mental patient isolates himself from reality
and communication about his problems becomes difficult.
This is the area where a clinically trained Chaplain
makes contact with the patient and develops positive atti
tudes toward his doctor and his hospitalization. Stimulation
of faith by the Chaplain prepares the way for the psychiatric
approaches, enabling a scientific investigation of the psy
chological problems.
Pastoral counseling, collective prayer, attendance at
church and other worship services, including the spiritual :
resources available to the clinically trained Chaplain play
a vital role in re-establishing the patient’s faith in God and
his fellow man. This builds up a foundation of confidence ■
which the psychiatrist can utilize in furthering his treat-1
ment program.
In today’s modern mental hospital, a well organized pro-1
gram of religious therapy conducted by clinically trained:
Chaplains in adequate chapel buildings is not only necessary ’
but essential if we are to meet the growing challenge of'
mental illness.
How To Choose A Hunting Partner
Many factors enter into a successful hunt, but
probably the most important single element is one’s
hunting partner. Trying to hunt with an uncoopera
tive. selfish or dangerous companion can easily spoil
the fun experienced in hunting.
Your hunting companion should be chosen with
the utmost care. He should be a close friend whose
natural virtures are known to you and on whom you
can depend in time of stress.
Knowing how' to handle a gun is of vital im
portance in a hunting partner. You can evaluate
a man's total experience in a few monents by
the way he handles a gun. A real hunter will
handle one with assurance, ease and respect.
This is the type of partner that you will want
to choose.
A shoot may be a grim disappointment, but then
again it can be a dream hunt to remember.
In either case, it is a mutual enterprise to be
shared without solely of one’s self. The sharing of
shooting opportunities, hunting techniques, food,
equipment and the like can make a good hunt. The
only place for selfishness on a hunt is in hogging
more than your share of the work, discomfort and
disappointment.
There may be times when the elements of nature,
so to speak, will be working against you, but a good
partner expects such things and accepts the un
changeable with grace. He will understand if the
predicted sprinkle becomes an all-day rain, or if you
happen to hunt every covert but the right one or
your dog acts up badly.
If you reach a point where you feel that you
can't go any further because you are tired,
hungry or cold, don't be an habitnal complainer
and start whining.
Face it frankly and cheerfully, and admit that you
feel that you should rest. But whining will ruin
everyone’s day, and will label you as a poor sports
man.
One of the gravest offenses that you can commit
against a companion is to betray his confidence and
spread the word about his personal game coverts. If
someone thinks enough of you to share his prize
hunting secrets, you should value that confidence.
Trusting your partner is one of the most im
portant things about hunting. Remember what
I have told you about choosing a person in whom
you have a great deal of confidence, faith and
respect.
A sincere hunting partner is one who shares with
out thinking, and who places your well-being and
pleasure above his own.
With one who meets these requirements, you are
assured of an enjoyable hunt whether you bag your
i limit or not.

’ ’ plete reorganization of the Geor
: gia Department of Commerce, the
state’s No. 1 agency for promot
:' ing a more profitable common
: । wealth through industrialization
and tourist trade, is in the offing.
Under a bill passed by the
General Assembly — and which
: must be ratified by the voters
'' in the November general election
1 as a constitutional amendment —
the Commerce Department as it
1 is now constituted would cease
; to exist.
1 > The new agency, under the di
rection of a 20-member board,
1 would be known as the State De
partment of Industry and Trade.
i It would have a director appoint
;ed by the board, instead of by
the governor as has been the
,' case since the present agency was
created in 1949.
’. Under the new plan, Gov. Er
' i nest Vandiver would appoint the
; i first ten board members and the
; ■ incoming governor would appoint
the other ten. Five of each gov

’ three-year terms and five for six

THREE OTHER BRUNSWICKS IN GEORGIA?
If the people in Covington, Georgia wear a special look of pride
these days, no one can blame them. On the outskirts of town stands an
attractive new plant producing famous MacGregor sports products.
Inside, some 125 of Covington and Newton County’s citizens are mak
ing everything from golf balls to punching bags. When full production
is reached, 200 people will be employed here.
How did MacGregor, a subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, come
to Georgia? The story actually started 117 years ago in Cincinnati. A
Swiss immigrant named John M. Brunswick built the world’s first
perfect billiard table as a hobby. It was a quality product and Bruns
wick wisely decided to manufacture the tables commercially. By 1884,
Julius Balke and H. W. Collender, Brunswick’s competitors, joined him
to form Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company. For many years, this
name has been synonymous with billiards and bowling equipment, two
of America's most popular participant sports.
During World War 11, Brunswick contributed to the national de
fense effort. This field was then expanded. Today Brunswick’s Defense
Products Division manufactures radomes and nose cones for the major
missile and aircraft producers. In a sense, this was Brunswick’s first
"branching out,” but the extensive diversification program which would
affect Georgia in a big way began in 1952.
In April, 1960, Brunswick Corporation (the name was officially
changed that year) bought Larson Boat Works of Little Falls, Minne
sota. Larson's Nashville, Georgia plant was kept in operation, with the
name changed to Brunswick Boats. The line of small fiberglass craft
produced here complements Owens Yachts, Mercury outboard motors
and other marine equipment manufactured by Brunswick elsewhere.
In 1957 Brunswick acquired MacGregor Sport Products Company.
Four years later, part of the MacGregor operations were moved to
Covington. While this brings us pretty much up to date, there is a
footnote. This April, Brunswick will open shop in Albany, Georgia to
manufacture MacGregor golf clubs, both woods and irons. Eventually,'
Brunswick’s three plants in this state will mean work for over 500
Georgians.
This corporation’s activities are not limited to recreation and de
fense. A. S. Aloe, a leader in hospital and surgical supplies, is part of
Brunswick. And the “little red schoolhouse” has a new look with the
complete line of attractive and functional classroom furniture and other
educational equipment offered by the School Equipment Division. For
its new’ approach and concepts, the company was awarded the Gold
Medal of the Industrial Design Institute. Now, the furniture is being
adapted for commercial use.
This is Brunsw’ick, a leader in recreation, defense, health and educa
tion. With tremendous pride, Georgia welcomes these three new addi
tions to her industrial family.
