When the story of the rise
and fall of the United States
of America is studied by his
torians a thousand years from
now they will discover easily
that this great republic’s down
fall was caused primarily by an
irresponsible judiciary, princi
pally the Supreme Court of the
land.
The Founding Fathers of this
nation were concerned that a
possible tyrannical, and per
haps corrupt, judicial system
would wreak havoc with the
strength, the principles, and the
morals upon which a republic
must rest. And they considered
further safeguards in the Con
stitution to protect the nation
and its people against such a
judiciary,
Unfortunately, these wise
men finally decided that they
already had enough such safe
guards in the Bill of Rights, and
that any judiciary which vio
lated these rights would incur
the consuming wrath of the
people.
How wrong they were.
For nearly 40 years now, the
Supreme Court of the United
States (by whose decrees all
lower courts are bound) has
gradually whittled away at the
bedrock of the Constitution un
til today it is but a shambles.
And, irony of all ironies, they
have done so while proclaiming
the “rights of the people”.
In upholding these supposed
“rights” of minority groups, the
Court has destroyed the true
rights of the majority. They
have developed and adhered to
the philosophy that the rights
of even one person must not
be abridged, no matter how
badly the majority is hurt.
The weakness of such doctrine
lies in the fact that ONLY the
maiority — meaning the great
middle class of average citizens
— has the strength and the
moral fortitude to maintain the
morale, the prosperity, the cul
ture and the courage of the na
tion as a whole.
When the middle class has
any of these inherent richts
taken away from them and given
to some minority, then the very
bone and muscle of the nation
is dealt a grievous blow, and
succeeding such blows become
mortal.
Let us illustrate with some
Court decisions.
Back in the thirties, the Su
preme Court very properly
rendered decisions giving the
worker a fairer sharc of the
economy. No one could justly
complain about this. But, they

Funeral services for David
Hembree (Buck) Roberson, 55,
of Rt, 2, Mcßae, who died
Monday in the Telfair County
Hospital of an apparent heart
attack, were held Wednesday
afternoon at 3:00 o’clock from
the Chapel of Harris and Smith
Funeral Home with the Rev.
W, J. Padgett officiating.
Burial was in Telfair

Chandler of Jacksonville, Fla,;
one brother, Mike Roberson

kept on issuing decisions which
made union bosses the same
tyrants that captains of indus
try had been. And today, these
union bosses have led the work
ers down the primrose path to
the point that our production is
being rapidly priced out of the
world market.
Take the matter of crime. The
Court has handed down decision
after decision whch forces low
er courts to turn heinously guilty
people loose to prey again and
again on the public. We could
cite you case after case to prove
the point, but every citizen
knows this is true.
And, there’s the example of
racial integration. No one of
good will denies that minorities
have been discriminated against,
and admits that it should never
have been. A wise Court would
have ruled against such, but
would NOT have tried to change
in one decade the thinking of
hundreds of years. It would
have adopted a policy of gradu
alism, and depended on the con
science of the majority to era
dicate discrimination voluntari
ly.
But, by its handling of this
issue, the Court has destroyed
the public school system, created
animosities between races that
never before existed, and per
mitted individuals and groups
to come close to anarchy in
proclaiming that “We shall
judee if a law is just or not.”
In the matter of Communism,
the Court has been so soft on
those who would “bury us” that
to be a member of this Party
and a believer in its doctrine is
almost a badge of honor. Thou
'sands upon thousands of liberals
see virtue, rather than harm, in
Communist philosophy.
And how about the Court's
pornographic decisions? The na
tion’s morals are being destroyed
because nine men have ruled
that it is perfectly all right to
pander to the worst in man
kind.
Then there’s the welfare pro
gram. The Court says the shift
less can live off the public trea
sury without even looking for a
job.
We could go on and on about
such things as taxes, national
defense, income tax loopholes
for the very rich, prayer in the
schools, etc., but our point has
been made. The Supreme Court
of the United States has for
gotten the people who built this
country, and is serving only
those who would destroy it.
We shall be the shortest lived
great nation in history; the mur
derers are easily recognizable.

THE STEADY FLOW of people from the places where they
were born and reared has robbed rural America of its most
precious and vital resource.
People live where there are jobs. There are more jobs generated
in urban areas than in rural areas. Seventy-five, per cent of our
citizens live on about 2 per cent of the land.
In urban areas pollution plagues everyone, poverty spawns
ghettos, crime infests all segments of the society, and the
general quality of life is stifling.
* * *
I RECENTLY PROPOSED creation of a Rural Development
Bank to promote revitalization of rural arcas. The bank would
make loans available to businessmen who want to set up business
in rural areas. It will provide small communities with sources of
credit to build and improve water and sewer systems. In short,
the bank will encourage rural development.
Underdeveloped countries all over the world have a World
Bank. Latin Americans have their own bank which is funded
largely by U.S. foreign aid, and the list of what we are doing
all over the world goes on.
But there is no bank for rural America. When American
resources are needed at home, they should be used here. After all,
we have much more to gain from developing the heartiand of
America than from dollar diplomacy abroad.
The federal government has studied the problems of rural
America for vears. Volumes have been published
The Rural Development Bank would make loans and credit
available where and when they are needed. Hopefully, the bank
can help create jobs and the massive migration from rural areas
can be reversed.
Rural America and urban America are in a partnership. What
helps one helps the other. The purpose of rural development is
not to steal jobs from urban areas but to create new jobs, jobs
that can revitalize rural America and save urban America.
Too many rural dwellers move to cities expecting instant
employment and success. Untrained and uneducated people soon
become another name on endless welfare rolls. They merely
substitute rural poverty for usban poverty.
The Rural Bank Bill will be significant legislation. It will bring
us nearer the goal of assuring every citizen the right to live and
-work in comfort and security wherever he pleases.

5,000,000 Seedlings
Interstate Paper Corporation
of Riceboro announces it has
planted more than 5,000,000
pine seedlings for private land
owners throughout Coastal
Georgia during the past two
planting seasons,
William J, Verross, vice
president and general manager,
said 8,000 acres of cut-over
or understocked woodiands in
20 Georgia counties have been
prepared and planted by Inter
state equipment and crews since
the fall of 1969, or are under
reforestation contracts.
Telfair County is in the area
in which Interstate refores
tation services are available
to land owners. The company’s
activities in Telfair are super
vised by Interstate’s area for

Seventy percent of the slash
pine seedlings planted by Inter
state have been of the fast

monly called “super trees.”
The pulp and paper company,
first to offer complete refores
tation services exclusively to
private land owners, also an
nounced it has expanded its
site preparation equipment by
50 percent. Included is new
equipment especially adapted
for site preparation work on
small acreages.,
Interstate is the only pulp
- and paper company in Georgia
and one of the few in the nation
that owns no company wood
lands, It relies primarily on
private forest land owners and
independent pulpwood dealers
for its wood supply.
“Because we do rely heavily
~on private woodlands for our
pulpwood needs, we have a
special reason for wanting to
help make those lands as pro
ductive as possible, both for the
near and long pull,” Chandler
‘said.
Interstate began its refores
tation activities in September,
1969, with an investment of
.some $200,000 in heavy equip
ment, including giant crawler
tractors, blades, choppers,
* bedding harrows and a special
tractor-trailer for moving the
equipment from site to site.
Planting is handled through sub~
contractors,
Mr. Chandler said another
SIOO,OOO since has been in
vested in additional equipment,
most of which is used on small
tracts, where it is more prac
tical than the heavier equip
ment.,
He said site preparation and
planting has been conducted on
tracts as large as 25,000 acres
and as small as 25 acres.

Young People

U. S. Sen. Herman E, Tal
.madge, speaking at North Geor
gia College’s Honor Day Pro
gram, discussed the posture of
today’s youth -~ both the good
and the bad -~ and he stood up
with the former which he said
constitutes a vast majority of
the younger generation,
Pointing out that “American
youth is very much in the news
today,”” the senator said *‘we

young men and women of to

another lost generation that
takes its pleasure from fast

pation-producing drugs, I say
that this is a libel. It is an
insult to the overwhelming ma
jority of American youth.”
Declaring that “we are all
too often misled and deceived
by daily headlines and sen
sation-seeking articles in our
magazines of mass appeal,”
Talmadge said “headlines about
the misdeeds of only about two
per cent of the total youthful
population of America do not
reflect the true picture.”
“A far more accurate repro
sentation of youth is presented
here today, and on thousands

‘willing to assume the respon

‘and because they are free.””
' Sen, Talmadge described
these conscientious young peo~
ple in thege words: =
“These young Americans go
very quietly about their busi
ness. They are not always out
spoken, They may nos maxch
