Maddox Defends
Freedom Os Press
Before Newsmen
Gov. Lester G. Maddox, who
frequently has beon at odds with
certain segments of Georgia’s
news media, told the Atlanta
Press Club that lie strongly sup
ports the freedom of the press
concept. This is what he had to
say on the subject:
"All in all, 1968 was a very
good year. Some of you did your,
job well most of the time, and 1
most of you did a your job well
some of the time. All in all, your
contributions to good government,
to business, to human welfare, i
and to virtually every segment i
of society, have been beyond mea-]
sure.
“It is true that we have some
times had differences of opinion,
but I thank God that we all live
in a country where such differ
ences of opinion can be freely
expressed. I would have it no oth
er way.
“I sincerely believe that if the
fredom of the press is ever de
stroyed, then all the other free
doms and rights which we are
privileged to enjoy as citizens of
the United States will also die
in rapid succession. You can be
sure that I will sometimes oppose
what you say, but I will never
attempt to oppose your right to
say it.”
Gov. Maddox also said that
when examples of inefficiency
and poor business practices in
government have come to his at
tention, he has not “hidden my
bead in political sand” to decide
whether such things should or
should not be exposed.
“You can believe me,” he de- ■
clared, “when 1 say that there is '
only one special interest group'
which commands the allegiance of
Lester Maddox. That special in
terest group is the more than four
million Georgia citizens who are
looking to me for honest, effic-1
Sent amd moral leadership.
“It is my intention, regardless {
of the political consequences, to]
serve the people of this state in
the only way that I know how,[
which is according to the princi-I
pies of good business, with the'
people of this state as my judge ;
and jury,”
After discussing in some detail;
-a number of specific programs;
which he is proposing in his 1969-1
70 biennial budget, the governor
urged members of the press to
support these programs “in the
interest of insuring that Georgia's
13.94?
11b5( Per Gallon
IS ENOUGH!
i current rate of prosperity is not
I only continued, but accelerated.”
J He concluded his ‘speech in
| these words: “This Ls a situation
jin which a little prevention can
] save a lot of cure later on. I can
। not, for the life of me, see how
j anybody who fully understands
i the situation we face can say
' anything but, 'the need is clear,
■ the way is clear, so let’s get the
। job done.’ ”
.
He Showed
Hollywood
j A five-year-old refugee boy
| was being shown around a Holly
; wood department store by his
[ American foster parents. When
I they came to the toy depart ment
] crowded with playthings in prep
[ aration for the Christmas rush,
| the little boy’s eyes grew wide
I with wonderment.
| He examined the many items ■
.’with amazed delight, but grad-!
dually the grownups noticed an
• ■ expression of puzzlement stealing
, [across the lad’s face. He began
| to search up and down the aisles
iand behind counters. At last,
I when quest ioned what he was
looking for, he burst out “Where
is the Child?”
i There was an embarrassed si-
I lence. Then a store official gave i
[instructions for a Christmas crib
Ito be found at once and set up ]
[in a prominent place in the toy!
'department. And at this the lit-।
[tie boy smiled with delight.
Young as he was, he had given
a lesson in the real significance
of Chi'i?tn>uF,iHe had pointed out
the serious oversight of neglect
ling the One tor Whom the birth- ;
I day party was being given!
] "... and a little child shall
[lead them." (Isaiah 11:6)
The Best He Could
j His wife says of the King in ;
the theatrical "The King and I"
i that "this is a man who tries.” In
; a sense, such praise might appear
[a bit questionable. Yet, in a true
isense it is high tribute paid him.'
] If it can be truthfully said of]
' each of us, when God calls us, j
[that “he was a man who tried” j
'to make the world a bit the bet-!
tqr for his being in it—that would
be tribute enough before God and
man.
I Christ does not expect the im
’ I possible of any of us. He does
I want us to keep trying to do the
I best we can with the talents with
i which He has endowed us.
! However, if we bury these gifts
IHe has given us, if we insist on
hiding our light under a bushel,
■ -if we postpone, neglect, avoid or
1 j otherwise fail to play our part,
| however small, in changing the
; world for the better, we can hard-
1 i ly expect the Lord to be pleased.
I “No one who puts his hand to
(plow and then looks back is fit
I for the kingdom of God.” (Luke
।9:62)
General Asembly

ABAC Receives
$49,840 For Student
Aid Program In 1969
Abraham Baldwin College has
.officially received $49,840 in Fed
] eral College 'Work-Study Program
j funds to be used from January
[ 1 to June 30, 1969, according to
[ Dr. Ray Swords, Dean and Co
j ordinator of Student Personnel
Services.
I The funds are made available
[ through the Division of Student
; Financial Aid of the Department
I of Health, Education, and Welfare.
The federal funds are earmarked
for the college Work-Study Pro
: gram which allow students the
opportunity to work their way
! through college. Under the pro
: gram, students work approxi
; mately three hours per day which
] enables the student to earn a sub
] stantial portion of their college
I expenses.
According to Dean Swords, lack
[of finances should not prevent
! any student from obtaining a col
[ lege education. Through a finan
cial aid package which consists
I of the Work-Study Program, Edu
| cational Opportunity Grants,
j scholarships, and special loans, a
I student can attend college with
[out other financial support.
[ Approximately 150 ABAC stu
dents are employed under the
Work-Study Program.
