The Proposed Poverty March
The proposed march of 50,000 “po people.” Ix>th
white and colored to go to Washington, I). C., and camp
out all over the nations capital and stay until they get
results is one that should be stopped, before it even gets
started.
Under the plans they are supposed to converge on
Washington from several directions, one of which will go
through Savannah, which they claim at least a thousand
will ride to within 5 miles of the city in busses etc., pro
vided by the city they left from for to Savannah, and
they will walk into Savannah and they say they expect
arrangements to be made to take care of them in camp
ing quarters for a night and day, and then Savannah
business men, the City and others are supposed to furn
ish busses, gasoline, food and every other need for them
to ride to a point 5 miles out of Charleston where they
will go in and go through the same procedure as was
projiosed for Savannah.
It is said that 1,000 will join the group in Savannah
and at each stop they will grow and grow until it will
be one of the biggest when they finally get to the nations
capital.
If our leaders would do the right thing they would
stop this thing, before it gets started. It can’t do any
thing but cause trouble and possibly many deaths. These
people are “poor, if they are,” because they are too lazy
or sorry to get out and make a living for themselves,
they want the Government jo take care of them in a big
way.
We would like to see them get the same treatment
that the Veterans of World War I got when they went
to Washingtotn asking for a measly little S6O bonus, after
having helped win World War 1 in France, they were
pounced upon by the police and firemen who played
water hoses on them and run them out of town.
If our Nation does that to the men that went to war,
fought, bled and died for this Country, we see no reason
for coddling around with a lot of bums and sorry people,
both white and colored, get after* them and run them
out of Washington in a hurry.

REPORTS from the united states senate
AMI-RICA TODAY is confronted with a serious economic
iaradox I or An ovcHvhblniing majority of our crtizens j we have
unparalleled prosperity and a standard of living unmatched any- (
where in the world.
On the other hand, there are about 30 million Americans —
both while and Negro, urban and rural —in dire poverty, although
this country has enjoyed more than 80 consecutive months of
economic growth ami business expansion.
There are great pockets of chronic unemployment, at a
time when there are not enough skilled workers to go around.
Thus. we have millions of people who cannot find jobs and
million ol jobs that cannot find people.
* * ♦
I EGISI A I ION NOW pending before the Senate, of which
I am a cosponsor, would go a long way toward alleviating this
problem bv allowing business and industry an income tax credit
for expenses involved in job training programs.
Private business, which 1 believe is most qualified to provide
job training, has certain important advantages over the govern
ment in this field. Although the government can sometimes give
excellent training. 1 don't believe we are getting to this job
problem as efficiently or rapidly as we should.
Moreover, government can train, but it cannot absolutely
guarantee a job at the end. Private business can. It not only can
provide the training plus the job, but it can also pay a salary
during the learning process A large number ot companies are
already engaged in such programs, and a job training tax credit
system would be an incentive to companies to enlarge their exist
ing programs, and an invitation for more companies to set up
programs of their own. This legislation deserves our immediate
attention and strong support.
WE DO NOI PROPOSE that all government programs bi
eliminated, hut we do need a stronger working partnership be
tween the government and private industry, with the government
providing every possible incentive for industry-operated programs
to help people help themselves
The best solutions and the most important solutions to the
social ami economic problems confronting our country today
can be found in education, in job training, in the creation o
more jobs, and in more people who are ready, willing, and able
to fill these jobs.

RESTORED PRINT SHOP at New Echota, one-time capital of
the Cherokee Indian nation during the 19th Century.
(Ga. Department of Industry and Trade)
Cherokee Indians
Lived Near Calhoun
CALHOUN, GEORGIA
(PRN) — To the amazement
of many, not all Indians lived
in the West when our country
was young. Here at New
Echota. the importance of the
Cherokee Tribe in the history
of Georgia is evident.
This was the location of the
capitol of the Cherokee
Nation in the early 19th
century. From 1825 until
1838, they maintained their
capitol as an independent
nation stretching across
Northern Georgia, Western
North Carolina, Eastern
Tennessee and Northeastern
• Alabama.
Their unique indian
government was modeled after
the United State’s system
rather than the traditional
indian tribal plan. The
Cherokee Nation consisted of
eight districts, and delegates
from each district comprised
the members of the legislature
which made the laws and
approved the treaties.
In 1821, Sequoyah, a
mixed-blood Cherokee,
succeeded in developing a
written-form of language for
the Cherokees. With their new
language, they soon learned to
read and established a print
shop at New Echota.
On February 21, 1828, the
Indians published the first
issue of their newspaper, the
“Cherokee Phoenix”, in both
Cherokee and English.
New Echota has been
restored by the Georgia
Historical Commission and is
open to the public. In the tiny
print shop, visitors see a hand
press similar to the one on
which the first “Cherokee
Phoenix” was printed. The
only building still standing
from the original New Echota
is the home of the Reverend
Samuel A. Worcester. The
Reverend Worcester was paid
by the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign
Ministers in Boston to
establish a school at New
Echota. His project was so
successful that the classes
outgrew their tiny facilities,
and the school met in the
Cherokee buildings when the
Council and Court were not in
session.
New Echota consists of the
Worcester house, the print
shop, the Supreme Court
Building and the Vann Tavern.
The two story, storetavem was
built and operated by the
Cherokee and was in business
for years as a “public stop” at
the Chattahoochee River
crossing near Oscarville. It was
later moved to New Echota.
piece by piece. When the
contractor forgot to mark
each piece, the project became
a giant jig-saw puzzle for
workmen trying to put the
building back together.
New Echota is located on
Georgia Highway 225, three
miles north of Calhoun,
Georgia, and is open to the
public from 9: a.m. until 5:
p.rn., Tuesday through
Sunday. For additional

Operation
Golden Eagle
By Dave Almand
Extension Wildlife Specialist
University of Georgia
College of Agriculture
ATLANTA (PRN) - Our
country is in the midst of a
vital battle for space on earth.
We need space for walking,
hiking, riding, camping,
hunting, fishing, boating and
other forms of outdoor
recreation necessary to the
health and happiness of our
citizens. We need space to
preserve and expand our great
national parks, forests, wildlife
refuges and other federal
recreation areas.
The battle lines are drawn
around our shrinking
outdoors. We must act now to
set aside land for recreational
use by this and future
generations. One way to do
this is through participating in
Operation Golden Eagle.
Operation Golden Eagle is
the name given to the federal
recreation fee program. It is
identified by the symbolic
golden eagle and the family
motif displayed on the face of
the annual federal recreation
area entrance permit and on
official signs posted at federal
recreation areas where fees are
charged.
A valid Golden Eagle
passport will admit you to all
designated federal recreation
areas collecting entrance or
admission fees as many times
as you wish to enter. It will
also admit all those who
accompany you in a private,
noncommercial vehicle.
If you do not wish to
purchase the $7 annual
permit, you may buy a
short-term permit which will
admit you and those with you
to a particular area. You can
purchase a daily permit or one
for a specified period of time
not to exceed six months. The
agency managing that
particular area determines
which permits will be
available.
Operation Golden Eagle
was launched in 1966 by the
natural resources agencies,
including the U.S. Forest
Service. Corps of Engineers,
National Park Service, Bureau
of Land Management, Bureau
of Reclamation. Tennessee
Valley Authority and the
Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife. This program carries
out a provision of the Land
and Water Conservation Fund
Act tnat was approved by
Congress. It offers you a great
outdoor recreation value and
the opportunity to make a
significant contribution to a
fund to help conserve our
recreation lands and waters.
Every dollar received from
the sale of these passports goes
into the Land and Water
Conservation Fund. Since the
Fund was established in 1965,
a total of $214 million has
been made available to states
and territories to help them
acquire and develop some
2,100 local and state parks
and recreation areas. Some
$129 million has been
appropriated from the Fund
to acquire key recreation lands
for national parks, forests,
seashores and wildlife refuges.
In addition to the money
received from the sale of the
Golden Eagle passports, the
Land and Water Conservation
Fund is supported by other
federal recreation entrance
and user fees, proceeds from
the sale of federal surplus real
property and the federal
motorboat fuels tax.
For more information on
Operation Golden Eagle and a
listing of the recreation areas
available where this permit can
be used, contact the Bureau of
Outdoor Recreation,
