The Middle Georgia lake is the second largest body of water located wholly within borders of the state. Big Government Can Be Pared By People. Says Senator Talmadge U. S Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, ■ Oack in his native* Georgia for a ! brief visit, warned that “the spec i ter of a big and all-powerful fed । era! government — so feared by ! our founding fathers—looms larg i er today than ever in history.” : Addressing the Carroll Electric Membership Corporation’s 28th i annual meeting, held in Carroll । ton, the senator said the increas ; ing centralization of power in I Washington “has radically altered i the American way of life and our j republican form of. government.” ! He continued: “Never before in history have Iso many looked to the federal । government as the Great Provider ; and the panacea for all problems. Never before have so many look ed to Washington for their securi- । ty, welfare and prosperity. “And, unfortunately, never has the power of the federal govern ment over the lives, fortunes and property of. American citizens been so great and never have lo cal self-government and individu- ■ ■ al initiative been so weakened.” Sen. Talmadge said “if the present trend is to be reversed, if our constitutional federal-state balance of power is to be restored, and if authority is to be returned >to the county courthouses, city > halls and state capitals, then the ■ people must let it be known in ' jno uncertain terms that this is I what they want. In the final, j analysis, our government will be i what the majority of Americans; । want it to be, no more and no ; less.” But he cautioned: “The people will have to real , ize that they cannot have their j cake and eat it, too. They must 'do more than pay lip service to | the principle of local self-govern ment. They cannot hold back the j expansion of federal power by I hitting at big government with ' one hand while holding out the ' other for a handout that is sup- Small Business [s Big Business i Os the firms in Georgia covered ■by the Georgia Employment Se-' curity Law. 96 percent have less ; ■ than 100 employees ea'ch, accord- ■ ! ing to Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet. While these firms ac- 1 count for less than half of all in-i sured workers, they are stabiliz-: ing factors in the state’s economic; growth. Georgia’s unemployment rate has been consistently below the ■ national average and this can be i attributed, in part, to the large ■ percentage of small business firms ■ and industrial plants throughout j the state,” Huiet stated. ALAMO. WHEELER COUNTY. GEORGIA , posed to make everjone healthy, i' wealthy and wise.” ■ I Sen. Talmadge was lavish in his ’ praise of rural electric coopera ' tives as an “outstanding example •;of partnership between the fed eral government and the people ■ that has worked to the mutual ad- Lvantage of both.” Said he: ’ i “These are institutions char ■; acterized by wise management, L sound business practice, and the '{wise use of credit at reasonable ’ i rates of interest, and not by gov ; ernment grant or gift. As grass roots organizations which help lo '; cal citizens by providing new job opportunities and better living '. conditions in rural areas,, theirs is ■ a great American success story. “They have never asked the i government for more than an op -1 portunity. They pay their own : way, and contribute beyond meas , ure to the economies of. the com- I munities they serve.” ! j State Troopers Bear Down More On Lawbreakers i' j Motorists who have an inclina : tion to ignore Georgia’s traffic ; laws when they hit the open road would do well to forget the idea.; Here’s why: The State Patrol worked longer and harder and covered more ter ;ritory during the first eight months of 1965 than it did a year ago. The result: More violators were arrested and convicted. This was revealed in a State Department of. Public Safety re port released by Col. H. Lowell Conner, director. Here are some of the highlights: A total of 38,023 patrols (up eight per cent) spent 277,291 hours (up seven per cent) patrol ling 6,094,560 miles (up eight per cent). These patrolmen made a total of 61,669 arrests, an increase of eight per cent, while issuing 108,643 warning tickets, a gain of five per cent over last year. Os the 59,488 cases disposed of , in court, which was a 23 per cent increase, 50,053 resulted in con | victions, a gain of 21 per cent : over 1964. Total number of cases pending dropped by six per cent, from 53,092 to 49.719.

Sanders said em phatically when he took office that education would have top I priority in his administration. He wasn’t kidding. He’s been prov ing his point ever since. The latest example came the other day at a press conference. The governor disclosed that he plans to launch another multi million-dollar buildi/ng program for state colleges next year. (The state is now in the midst of a $125-T.illion college building pro-' gram.) Sanders said he will ask the. General Assembly when it con-: ■ venes Jan. 10 to appropriate funds' Ito finance the sale of bonds for: the completion and expansion of | a planned University System' I building program, After signing i the deeds on' property for an SBOO,OOO athletic dormitory at the University of! Georgia, Gov. Sanders said the state would determine the needs for additional buildings from re ' quests submitted by the system's various schools. He pointed out that enrollment in Georgia’s colleges this year hit ' a peak of about 56,000, up some : 24,000 since he took office. The । proposed new building program iis designed to take care of the 23,000 new students expected to 'enroll in state colleges by 1970. । While the lion’s share of the additional money will be spent at Georgia Tech and Georgia State | College, both located in Atlanta, ' Sanders said more new funds also ' will be provided for the state’s other colleges. The Board of Regents estimates that it will take at least $lO mil lion to complete the building pro .jar as now planned. The allocation of sl-million by the state would secure up to sls - in bonds. If $2-million ' were allocated, the Regents could ; complete the planned program and have about S2O-million for I additional construction, it was i pointed out. Gov. Sanders said last January I that he would do everything he 'possibly could to see that the planned prograr. war completed if the state’s revenue was ade ■quate. At present, it appears it will be adequate. Sanders Labels Negro Leader As False Prophet The other day Hosea Williams,' i Negro, a top official of Martin: Luther King, Jr.’s, Southern : Christian Leadership Conference,! . held a press conference in Atlan- Ita. It got good play by the news i. j media. Among other things Williams, 'said that Negroes in Taliaferro I ; County may stage a march on the (State Capitol in Atlanta “similar! |to the Selma to Montgomery”; j march earlier this year. He also ■ 'said “Gov. Sanders has done ai : marvelous job of fooling the na- । tion about the state of integra tion in Georgia.” Immediately following publica tion of the Negro leader’s re marks, Gov. Sanders issued a' statement in which he called Wil liams a “commercial integration-; i-t who makes his living on strife' and discord.” It further said: “Ft sure he would welcome federal intervention in Georgia. It would give him new ammuni-; tion in his crusade for dollars. “As long as I am governor, we are going to look out for the people—both white and coolred— and are not going to be intimidat 'ed by any threats or false pro phets.” IN THE DARK Glass containers of food should be stored in a dark place, says Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension home economist-food preserva tion.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1965 Talmadge Cites Good, Bad Sides Os New Economy “Georgia’s great economic revo- I lution of the past decade has opened the door to unlimited op | portunities, but it has brought problems as well as progress,” de clared Sen. Herman E. Talmadge. In a speech before the Georgia : Rural Electric Managers Associa- I tion in session at Callaway Gar ■ dens, the senator asserted that > “one of the most pressing needs I facing the state today is for every- I one concerned to work toward ' the achievement of a more equit ' able balance between urban and ; rural economic advancement.” j “Unfortunately,” he observed, 1 “while our urban areas, particu i larly the large metropolitan cen- I ters, are growing at an unprece ' dented rate of progress, rural sec : tions of the state are much in 'need of revitalization.” Referring to the state’s rapidly | diversifying economj' and the 'transition from agriculture to in ' dustry, Talmadge said “the migra tion from farm to city may never be stopped entirely, but it can ; and should be slowed down by (providing more job opportunities I and a better chance to earn a liv ing in rural communities. “Farming alone can no longer sustain rural economy, and the | development of local resources to attract new business, resulting in; | the creation of more non - farm , 1 employment, is imperative if our । rural economy is to move forward instead of standing still.” | Sen. Talmadge said Georgia’s ; network of vocational - technical training schools “are proving themselves to be a vital f< rce in i meeting the demands of. a chang ; ing economy and in rural develop | ment.” He uryad that the importance 'of the:training centers in the ;./ate’' educational system not be une: estimated, pointing out that ; “of all the jobs in Georgia, now and in the future, only a very 'small percentage require a college ! degree, but virtually everyone of ■ them require a high school de ; gree of skill and special training.” Geer Criticizes Poverty Program Lt. Gov. Peter Zack Geer has ■denounced the federal govern-: ment’s so-called billion - dollar [ war on poverty as an abortive ex- ; : ercise in experimentation, fraught with hypocrisy and destined to; disappoint rather than uplift the j ; poor. Addressing a recent dinner' j meeting of the Metropolitan Mari-; ! etta Kiwanis Club, Geer declared: j “The bureaucrats directing this ’ ' alleged war on poverty are squan- i i dering funds appropriated by j ; Congress to provide economic op-' .portunity for the needy ... It is, almost like something from a! । comic opera until you think of I .the thousands of disappointed and’ I disillusioned Americans who be-1 lieved the fairy tale they heard ; ' from Washington.” I Knowledge brings understand-; ing, and understanding brings' [ strength to deal with the new and I the unknown. j j About 13 per' cent of Georgia’s ; pulpwood production is now in j j the form of chips from sawmill | ! slabs and edgings. ———— Stale Has Made Great Strides In Gains For Women, Says Sanders Georgia has made strides in eliminating inequities tow a r d women but continued efforts must be made to eliminate any other inequities that might still exist, in the opinion of Gov. Carl E. Sanders. That’s what the governor told the All Star Beauty Forum for hairdressers, cosmetologists and beauty shop suppliers from throughout Georgia, held in At lanta recently. Calling attention to the fact that-115 years ago “the United States took what was then regard ed as a major step by banning slave trade in the District of Co lumbia,” Sanders declared: “It was in the same spirit, two years ago, that we established in Georgia the Governor’s Commis sion on the Status of Women, which has since been mobilizing SINGLE COPY 5c Second Annual Ga.
