Governor Carl Sanders took his own advice last last week and shortly after signing a proc
lamation that set aside April as CANCER CONTROL MONTH he received a checkup - more
symbolic than actual — in his office at the capital. Dr. Tom Sellers, Sr., director emeritus o
the State Health Department, shown here with the Governor said hundreds of Georgians would
be saved each year if they would follow the Governor s example of a periodic examination regard
less of how well they feel. Early detection is the key to cancer cures, Dr. Sellers said.

Aulo Inspection Law Is Designed
To Decrease Georgia Traffic Toll
1 .- I
; Although Georgia’s motor ve
hicle inspection law does not be-
I come effective until Jan. 1, 1965,
! motorists are urged to do now
. what they will be compelled to
!do under the law in future —
I that is to make sure their cars
I and/or trucks are in safe ope
! rating condition.
. “This new law, long needed in
Georgia, is designed to reduce
the number of accidents and re
' suitant deaths and injuries with
, the removal of unsafe vehicles
' from our highways and streets,”
said Col. H. Lowell Conner, di
rector of the Georgia Department
• of Public Safety, whose depart
■ (ment will administer the law.
’ । “Now is a good time for Geor
gia motorists, particularly those
; ; who may be inclined to be lax in
’ this respect, to get in the habit
; , of keeping their vehicles in pro-
Iper operating condition. They’re
* going to have to do it later, so
1 . why not now? It is a safety mea
’ i sure for the protection of all us
’ ers of our public thoroughfares.”
1 1 The new Georgia law is similar
; to laws which have proved use
• ful in 19 other states and, like
i most of those laws, is based on
. 1 the Uniform Traffic Code pre
pared by a presidential study
group.
Under provisions of Georgia’s
new act, authored by 27th District
Sen. Taylor Phillips, car and truck
owners will be required to have
’ their vehicles inspected at of
ficially approved inspection sta
tions designated by the Depart
ment of Public Safety.
I I Those vehicles which are ap
j j proved will be given a sticker to
jbe attached to the windshield, at

Give Education Back To Teacher,
Talmadge Urges Ai GEA Meeting
Georgia’s U.S. Sen. Herman El
Talmadge has urged that educa
tion “be given back to the teach
ers along with the tools—money,
facilities and community support
—necessary for them to do a bet
:er job.”
Addressing the Georgia Edu
cation Association’s 96th annual
convention just concluded in At
lanta, the former Georgia gover
nor called for “a return to the
rigors of the three R’s and the
elevation of teachers from second
class citizenship to a position of
respect and recognition in keep
ing with the important role they
lave in our communities.”
He told the GEA that “all Geor
gians share the responsibility for
seeing that every child gets an
adequate education and is equip
ped to meet the challenges of our
increasingly complex society.
Whatever shortcomings there may
denied for vehicles having unsafe
faults, and they will be removed,
from the roads. Owners must
have them repaired before a stick
er is issued. (The vehicle owner
can have such "epairs or adjust
ment made at any place of his
choice.)
An inspection fee of $1.25 will
be charged the vehicle owner.
The first 25 cents will go to the
state for administering and po
locing the program, while the re
maining $1 will be payment for
services rendered by the inspect
ing station — usually an automo
bile dealer, garage, service sta
otin or other privately owned fa
cility which has ‘he equipment for
inspecting the vehicles.
These designated inspection sta
i tions also will oe under strict su-1
t pervision of the State Safety De-1
. partment and their names will be j
; listed at State Patrol Headquar- ■
> ters.
Col. Conner said that between j
. now and the activation of Geor- {
’ gia’s new motor vehicle inspec- i
• tion law, his department will i
. make a study of some of the states j
■ which have had experience in op- i
i erating such a program.

NUMBER
.. ।be in. education today can b®
blamed not on the teachers or
schools, but must be laid square
.y in the lap of society.”
Calling attention to current,
areas of educational concern, het
declared:
“If young people graduate from.
! high school with only a rudimen
tary education, or drop out along.
■ the way; if our classrooms are
■ ! overcrowded and thousands of
teachers leave Georgia every year
tor better paying jobs; if the cur
riculum is cluttered with that
which belongs in the home, church
i or other community organizations,,
and if too much of the school’s
precious time is devoted to non
■ educational activities; if athletics,
i are more important than algebra
■ ! and brawn ranks above brains,
• I and if. we stifle the competitive
. I spirit in the interest of keeping
I the child happy and well-adjust-
I . .
ed, then service only to the fun
damental principle that the pur
pose of education is to obtain
knowledge.”
Sen. Talmadge agreed with
contentions tha‘ too much school
time is lost to extra-curricula ac
tivities and that teachers are bur
dened with too many “housekeep
ing” and administrative chores.
Said he:
“The whole school day, the
whole school year should be de
voted to the education of our
young, and the only housekeep
ing duty teachers should have is
to see that the curriculum is swept
clean of things that don’t belong
there.
“Schools also have a responsi
bility to be constantly alert to
ways to improve teaching meth
ods in order to guarantee every
child a quality education, and the
public, insured of good results,
should and will be willing .to pay
for an outstanding educational
। program, from the elementary
! school level on through our uni-
I versities.”
! Referring to his administration
jas governor, Sen. Talmadge de
i dared:
j “During the 1950’5, Georgia ed
| ucation came out of the woods
'of the 30s’ and 40’s. Expendi
i tures for the common schools and.
! the University System rose to un
i precedented heigghts, with $44-
| million more being spent on. edu
■ cation during my administration
। than in all previous administer
j tions combined.
“The most outstanding build
■ ing program in the nation was
(started with the creation of the
(State School and University Sys
i tern Building Authorities. One
-1 half of all school property now
in Georgia has been built sine®
1958.”
The Senator also pointed ou®
: that during his tenure as gover
| nor average teachers’ salaries rose:
(almost $1,700, and the pay of
i equally qualified white and Neg
;ro teachers was equalized.
I “The Fifties was a progressive
! decade for Georgia schools,” Tal
-1 madge said, “and they are still
jon the move. But we still face
i the challenge of the Sixties and
i the next decade, and much re-
I mains to be done.”
