Sen. Talmadge Tells Georgia Young
People To Build For Their Future
With Georgia and the rest of I
the world undergoing changes at |
an almost unbelievable rate of
speech, U.S. Sen. Herman E. Tal
madge has a timely message for
Georgia’s youth.
Declaring that the young peo-;
pie of today “are going out into
a new Georgia of unprecedented
opportunity,” the senator and for
mer Georgia governor said “never
before have the times been more
challenging, more promising or
more exciting.”
Delivering the commencement
address at Rabun Gap - Nacoo
chee School exercises, just held
at Rabun Gap, Talmadge urged
the graduates to build for them
selves and others to become a
strong and secure future. Said he:
“This is the age of scientific
and mechanical advancement, the
age of automation and industry
and business. It is being felt in
Georgia no less than in every oth
er part of the country, and it is
opening the door to new and un
precedented opportunity, espec
ially for you.
“But it is of the utmost impor
tance that you prepare yourselves
well for this great transition from
agriculture to industry which is I
now changing the economy of
Georgia.
“Our people must accept this
change and adjust to it. It can
not and will not be reversed, and '
those who do not get in step with
the times will be left behind.
“You must avail yourself of all
the education and special training
that you can get. No longer are
a strong back and a willingness
to work all that is necessary to
find gainful employment. Indus
try and business demand educa
tion and special skills. The pay
is better, the hours are shorter
and the fringe benefits more num
erous. But the jobs are more dif
ficult to secure.
“These then are the most im
portant and the most challenging
years of your life. These are the
really creative years. Make wise
use of them. The time that you
have now and your God-given
talents are your keys to a suc
cessful and happy life. How you
use them will determine the kind
of world you will live in and the
kind of world you will leave for
your children.
“Build yourselves a future on
the time-honored principles of
the past. Adhere to the ideals
which have come down through
the ages which are worth adher
ing to and reject all those which
are not. Strive for excellence, ;

ONCE AGAIN, the Nashville
minister, Dr. Walter Courtenay,
has spoken out in forceful elo
quence for the return of com
mon sense and reason in the
United States.
I,amenting a land torn by ra-
cial strife, Dr.
Courtenay in a
recent sermon
to his First
Presbyterian
Church con
gregation ex
pressed a long
ing — which I
believe to be
shared by an over-whelming ma
jority of people in this country
—for “stability and peace,” a
period in which to restore the
national sense of balance.
Dr. Courtenay will be remem
bered for an earlier sermon en
titled “The Problems of Equal
ity,” which won for him national
renown and a Freedoms Foun
dation award.
His latest message, like the
first one, is so important to
controversies which now threat
en to divide our people that I
would like to share his wisdom
with you.
In this sermon, “The Problem
of Equilibrium,” Dr. Courtenay
warns against being caught up
in a “tailspin of confusion” and
enacting laws that would “create
a federal power free men could
not long endure.”
DENOUNCING lawless racial
agitation which has plagued
Nashville recently as well as
other American cities, both
North and South, Dr. Courtenay
declared.
“I stand to decry sit-ins, lie
downs, kneel-downs, and the
demonstrations that create fear,
block traffic, rob merchants of
essential business and make a
mockery of law and order. I de
cry those who incite such ac-
I and scorn mediocrity. Dare to be
| different.
“Remember that our country
has grown mainly through the ef
forts of men and women who stood
alone, who refused to conform to
। everything around them. Don’t be
afraid of being a square, even
though it may seem much simpler
to be round and roll along through
life in the middle of the road.
Work hard, and avoid what ap
pears to be short-cuts to success.
More often, they are dead-end
streets.”
Sen. Talmadge also told the ’
graduates that Georgians always
have been “a proud and sturdy
people capable of. discharging
their responsibilities to them
selves, their fellow citizens, their
state and nation, and honor and;
courage. It now falls your duty
to preserve this tradition.”
18-Year-Olds Face
Physical Exams
Beginning July Ist
The President of the United I
States, by an Executive Order, I
has directed that 18-year-old reg
istrants of Selective Service be i
given a physical examination as j
early as practicable after reach-1
ing their 18th birthday.
These examinations are to be
gin July Ist. The purpose of the:
examination is to permit the early j
referral of rejectees to appropri-l
ate agencies for remedial action i
or vocational training. In Geor- i
gia the rejections are now run- j
■ning about 62 percent of those!
examined and it is believed that j
the sooner young men know of i
a physical defect or the lack of
education or training the sooner
these conditions can be remedied
through referral to appropriate
agencies or on their own initia
tive.
Local Boards are urged to stress
the fact to these young men, their
parents and the public that they
will not be inducted any sooner j
than in the past.

PICKING PEAS
Mechanized harvesting of South
ern peas for processing is here ■
to stay, believes F. B. Cates, hor-‘
ticulturist with the Cooperative;
Extension Service. He says six |
harvesters were operating in Geor
gia pea fields last fall, and grow-!
ers were generally pleased with j
the results. “We can expect to!
see more and more peas harvest-!
ed mechanically.”
tions, even as I decry their op
posites who meet unreasonable
ness with unreasonableness. I
decry so - called non - violent
marches that create feelings of
violence in others and fuse every
day with danger.
•‘I find little of the spirit of
Jesus in most of what has been
said and done . . . the methods
used are hate and fear builders,
and are in fact a shotgun held
at a community’s or business
man's stomach.
“Let no one doubt but that our
colored friends and fellow citi
zens have reasonable grievances
that call for justice (but) one
injustice is no excuse for con
cocting others.”
• • •
DR. COURTENAY continued:
“So unbalanced are we in much
of our current thinking that we
now propose to pass laws forc
| ing employers to hire people
[ they neither want nor need; to
force others to serve people they
do not want to serve; to force
others to work with people they
| do not want to work with, and
i to threaten honest citizens with
। fines, jail sentences and the loss
। of their livelihoods.
“We now propose to reshape
| the life of the entire nation to
suit the needs of one minority
group at the cost of depriving
other groups of just rights un
der our Constitution.”
The people of this country
would do well to heed Dr.
Courtenay’s call for “a mora
torium on racial pressures.” He
said we need a “long-range pro
gram of advance . . . that will
give people time to adjust and
gain understanding ... a pro
gram that will be Christian in
spirit and method . . . that will
not increase racial tensions, but
, decrease them.”

Some Measures
Help Hay Fever
i Most Georgians look forward to
Indian summer with its cool, crisp
weather. But for many the season
is the time of the sneeze, watering
eyes, the runny nose, and the
itching nose, throat and palate.
The villian responsible for much
of this misery is the lowly rag
weed. It sheds its irritating pol
len into the air between mid-Au-
Igust and the end of October.
Why does hayfever affect some
people but spare others?
Medical science has no definite
answer. However, hay fever tends
!to occur in some families more
l than in others. We can’t choose
! our relatives but we can take cer
! tain other measures against the
hay fever allergy.
The first ste pis to determine,
lif possible, the offending agent.
! Is it ragweed or some other com
’ mon offender — feathers, dander
j from dogs and cats, dust, or face
j powder for instance? The irritat
ling substance usually can be de
i terminde by skin tests. In such
tests, samples of the suspected
I offenders are placed on the skin
• for a certain period and reactions
| are observed.
' Once the responsible agent has
i been identified, much can be
! done. Persons allergic to feathers
can change from weather to foam
s rubber pillows and mattresses. If
| dogs and cats are responsible,

they can be avoided. Those whose
hay fever 1 is caused by ragweed
pollen face a tougher problem.
Since the plant grows in so many
places, including Georgia, it is
hard to get away from. There are
steps to be taken, however, short
of leaving the state.
Immunizing injections of rag
weed pollen extract just before
the pollen season starts will bring
considerable relief to about 80
percent of hay fever sufferers.
Symptoms can also be eased by
antihistamines. Nasal sprays con
taining medicines to relieve con
gestion may help shrink mem
branes in the nose and sinuses.
However, repeated use of such
sprays may irritate the mucous
membranes.
Sleeping in an air-conditioned
room often enables hay fever vic
tims to rest free from symptoms.
DOC MAG SAYS:
Don’t despair if you’re one of
the nation’s many hay fever suf
ferers. Once the cause of your
sneezes and sniffles has been
found, you may be able to avoid
it. If not, many helpful remedies
are available.
Georgia Poultry

of barbecueing chicken. Four-H
boys will be on hand to sell bar
becued chickens while the Four-H
girls hand out hard-cooked eggs.
Mechanically - operated “talking
chickens” will give facts and fi
gures to passers-by on the Lenox
Mall.
Friday night the 1963 reigning
queen, Mrs. Brady Williamson, of
Columbus, will crown the new

’ and rural divisions of the Geor
gia Power Company and the
Georgia Poultry Processors Assn.
Choice beef is prepared by most
consumers, according to USDA.
This grade is of high quality and
usually has less fat than beef of
the Prime grade.
Death Toll On
Ga. Highways
Still Going Up
Despite the fact that in two of
the first four months this year
Georgia traffic fatalities went
down, the over-all death toll is
well above a year ago. Reason, of
course, is because the two-month
increases were sizable, while the
two-month decreases were com
paratively small.
For example, January and Feb
ruary recorded increases of 16
and 32 percent, respectively, while
March showed a decrease of 12 i
percent and April’s decline was
a mere six percent.
The total number of deaths for
the four-month period was 380
compared with 357 last year, an
increase of 23. or six percent, ac
cording to consolidated statistics
compiled by the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety’s Accident
Reporting Division, and released
by Col. H. Lowell Conner, direc
tor.
A breakdown showed rural area
deaths totaled 304 against 286,
an increase of 18, or six percent.
Urban (city) fatalities totaled 76,
a gain of five, or seven percent.
Pedestrian deaths throughout the
state went up from 54 to 63, an
increase of nine, or 17 percent.
The report further showed
there were 119,452 more motor
vehicles (1,540,159 against 1,420,-
707) traveling 97,139,071 more
miles (6,051,662.927 versus 5,-
954,523,856) over Georgia roads
than a year ago.
As a result, Georgia’s death
rate, which is based on the num
ber of persons killed to each 100-
million miles traveled, went up
from 5.9 to 6.2.
Textiles Vital To
Economy Os State
Says Gov. Sanders
Gov. Carl E. Sanders had a
timely message for members of 1
the Cotton Importers Association,
meeting in annual session recent
ly in Savannah. In a prepared
speech, delivered by his execu
tive secretary, D. Douglas Bar
nard Jr., the Governor said:
“Georgia, like the Cotton Im
porters Assn., has a vested in
terest in both cotton and inter
national trade, and if we continue
to work together I am confident
that we will continue to increase
our common prosperity.
“The cotton importing industry
is highly important to Georgia’s
economy. It is becoming more
and more recognized that the spe
cialized long-fibre cottons you
import, which cannot be produced
in the United States, are com
plimentary to American-grown
! cotton and not competitive.
“It is this versatility that con
! tributes to and promotes the or
derly marketing of the world’s
cotton, and in the process our'
cotton imports furnish other j
countries with dollar exchange
that those countries need in order
to purchase other American pro
duce and manufactures.
“Georgia’s large textile indus
try continually benefits from the
activities of the cotton importing |
industry . . . Our textile industry,
therefore, is as vital to Georgia
as it is to each of you.”

Youth Under 18
Need Work Permit
An employment certificate from
j the city or county school super

■ from the prospective employer are
required before boys and girls
under the age of 18 can be em
ployed, according to Georgia
Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
Huiet.
Necessary forms are available
j at the offices of school superin-
I tendents throughout the state.
; Under the Georgia law, boys
from 12 to 16 years of age may
j work 40 hours a week in whole
: sale and retail establishments,
i such as grocery and drug stores,
but are not permitted to work
j after 9:00 p.m. The same applies
i to girls from 14 to 16 years of age.
When school is in session, the
I law provides that boys from 12
I to 16 years of age and girls from
! 14 to 16 may work four hours a
1 day after school, eight hours on
i Saturdays and holidays, but not
t after 9:00 p.m. There are no limi-
I tations on the type of work or
j the number of hours minors from
■ 16 to 18 years of age may work,
| but they are required to have
! the employment certificate.
