Does your nome need a new heating system? Why not
make it a really modern one this time —an automatic
electric system. Costs too much? Not any more, it
doesn't. The new Total-Electric Rate and today’s ef
ficient equipment make clean, flameless electric heating
a thoroughly economical way to enjoy supreme comfort.
We can prove it. We will arrange to have a cost estimate
made at your home without any obligation whatsoever,
and we’ll make you a gift of a good indoor/outdoor
thermometer for the privilege of supplying you with the
happy facts.

There is no right way to do a

THERE ARE MANY TIMES when I find it difficult to
understand United States foreign policy, and this has been
particularly true regarding dealings with nations which are our
friends.
The fact is, many of the decisions which emanate from
the Department of State seem to make no sense at all and have
very little rhyme or reason. One example that comes immediately
to mind is American policy toward Rhodesia.
It is amazing to me how the United States wants to suppress
the government of a nation which seeks its independence just
about the same way that our nation did almost 200 years ago.
From the outset of the Rhodesian difficulties, it has been
my strong feeling that this was strictly an internal matter which
primarily addressed itself to the people of Rhodesia and Great
Britain. I am unalterably opposed to any unwarranted interfer
ence with the affairs of other nations. Furthermore, I believe
the United Nations made a grave mistake in attempting to inter
vene in the domestic policies of Rhodesia, and that the present
course of United States foreign policy toward Rhodesia should
be reversed.
« * *
I WAS INTERESTED BY a press report recently that the
State Department doesn’t want to let Prime Minister lan Smith
of Rhodesia come to the United States to address students at the
University of Virginia.
According to the State Department, inasmuch as the United
States does not recognize the present government in Rhodesia, a
passport issued by that government would not be a valid travel
document for Mr. Smith to come to this country.
The State Department said it has waived requirements for
some Rhodesian students to come to America, but indicated that
it wouldn’t do so for Mr. Smith. In other words, run-of-the-mill
people of Rhodesia can travel in the United States, but not re
sponsible high officials. Communists and rabble-rousers can speak
on American campuses, but not the Prime Minister of Rhodesia.
Students at the University of Virginia said they invited Mr.
Smith because he had not been given a proper forum in this
country to give his side of the story of Rhodesia’s struggle for
independence. I see no reason why he should not be heard.
* * ♦
TO REITERATE THERE ARE many things about our
State Department that I do not fully comprehend. Sometimes it
appears as if we treat our enemies better than we do our friends.

Governor Hails
New $53-Million
Firestone Plant
It was a red-letter day for Geor
gia in Albany. It also was “Fire
stone Day” by official proclama
tion of Gov. Lester G. Maddox.
The occasion was groundbreaking
ceremonies for the Firestone Tire
& Rubber Company’s new $53-
million plant on a 40-acre tract
just off U.S. 82 about halfway
between Albany and Sylvester.
i Gov. Maddox and Firestone
President Earl B. Hathaway used
golden shovels in spading the
. earth where the huge factory will
■ rise. The plant eventually ex
pects to employ some 3,000 per
. sons and produce about 20,000
, tires daily.
Declaring that the new manu
facturing plant will give a stimu
lating effect on the economy of
the entire state, the governor
said:
“We know the impact of new
industries on our state: A higher
level of economy, better com
munities, more jobs, more people
moving into and less people leav
' ing our state. It means we will
export more manufactured goods
and import less . . . This new fac
tory will serve as eloquent testi
mony to the fruits of free enter
prise, a system which has made
us the richest, most affluent and
most powerful nation on earth.
This is why we, as benefactors,
must always guard, protect and
strengthen it.”
Gov. Maddox and other state
officials only recently returned
from industry-hunting excursions
in Chicago and New York.

j Unemployed Georgia
Workers To Receive
Assistance In Moving
Unemployed Georgia workers
will now be able to receive as
sistance in moving to areas where
job opportunities exist according
to Commissioner of Labor Sam
Caldwell. The high cost to the
individual of such a move as
well as lack of training has pre
vented many unemployed Geor
gians from obtaining gainful em
ployment.
Skill training obtained under
the provisions of the Manpower
Development and Training Act
has made it possible for many un
employed workers to secure em-;
ployment and the new “Labor
Mobility Program” will enable
many additional workers to re
locate to areas of job opportunities
Caldwell continued.
The new program submitted to
Washington for final approval
will provide financial assistance,
in the form of grants and-or loans
to assist unemployed workers to
move to areas where jobs have
been secured for them by the
Employment Service. Assistance
in locating suitable housing and
settling the family in their new
location will also be provided.
Early approval is expected and
the program will be initiated im
mediately.
