...A FREE PRESS WILL
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS
The first sign of any free government is the existence of
its free press ... the freedom of the press to report about
civic, community, country and world affairs openly,
truthfully. For, without freedom of the press, America
would be bleak, stifling. It is the people’s right to know
and the newspaper's responsibility to inform, educate,
stimulate and assist. An informed press is a free press.
The American people will remain an informed people
and free as long as they have a free press, as long as they
cherish it and if need be, fight for it. Keep the press free!

Gov. Lester Maddox
People
ATLANTA (PRN) - It is
refreshing to me to have the
great number of Georgians
with whom I talk each week
committing themselves to the
Free Enterprise System.
Perhaps the best way to
preserve this system is to get a
real grass-roots movement
underway.
As many of you know, the
recent passage of the so-called
1968 Civil
Rights Act
is another
dag g a r
aimed
straight at
the heart of
free enter
prise. This
legislation
greatly
restricts the
right of the businessman to
manage his own business, and
realtors are the ones who
suffer most from it. This is not
open-housing legislation to
benefit any group in our
society, but it is open war on
the American free enterprise
system itself.
We must be more than ever
on guard because the next
move by backers of this 1968
Rights Act and open housing
is already underway. Some of
the backers of open
occupancy are already
proposing that legislation be
offered requiring that home
owners obtain a “moving
permit” before moving from
one house to another--and
such permits would be issued
only after the government was
satisfied that just cause to
move was shown by the
family.
Explained another way,
Americans are to lose
“freedom of choice” in selling
their homes and could not
move from one community to
another without government
approval. Citizens and realtors
who fail to comply may well
be jailed by dangerous and
h 81 f - d e m e n t ed federal
meddlers.
As your Governor, 1 am
going to speak out in slashing
terms against these false social
saviours who come into our
midst to deny private property
rights and continue to shackle
the free enterprise system. 1
believe the American people
are fed up with this trend in
national government and will
repudiate it in November. The
interests of a free nation
demand that we join to fight
this encroachment.
It is our unremitting duty
as proud citizens of this state
and nation to prove to the
faint-hearted and the
misguided who seek this type
of legislation that the
American free enterprise
system not only works
wonders, but that it is the
only system yet devised by
man that can work these
wonders.
The business of the great
State of Georgia is climbing to
unprecedented heights in
lock-step with honesty,
morality and efficiency in
government. The state of
Georgia has averaged in new
and expanded industry 1.6
million dollars for each day of
the first 121 days in 1968.
And that’s not all. For the 10
month period which began
with my first fiscal year in
July, 1967, we have averaged
51.8 million dollars for new
and expanded industry for
each of those months. Thus,
we are able to claim some five
hundred and eighteen million
dollars during these past ten
months of our first fiscal
budget compared to the
record year prior to the
Maddox Administration of
three hundred and seventy
eight million dollars. With two
more months to go, we have
already exceeded the previous
record by one hundred and
forty million dollars.
We are carrying forth the
story of Georgia in such a
manner that exceeds in'twelve
months the promotional
campaign of any previous four
year administration, and what
we will do to promote Georgia
with the budgets and
promotion of our first two
years will exceed the programs
of the twelve years prior to
the Maddox Administration.
And we are not stopping
there. Georgia is a haven for
businessmen. This is the best
state in the fifty for industry
and trade, and with the
support of civic and business
leaders, there will be no let-up
in this industrial and economic
break-through for our great
The Pembroke Journal, FIRST SECTION. Th nrs day, May 23. 1968—
state.
EDUCATION
Our programs for education
have been just as spectacular.
We have accomplished more
for the improvement of
salaries for teachers and
professors in these few months
than any state in our region
during the same period, and
more than that of any
previous four year Georgia
administration. Georgia is
leading, not following.
We are pledged to diversity
in this nation, and in this very
diversity lies bur strength.
DAVISON INAUGURATION
It was my pleasure to
attend the inauguration of Dr.
Fred C. Davison as President
of the University of Georgia in
Athens last week. I am sure
that Dr. Davison will give the
inspiration and direction to
continue the splendid record
of progress and achievement
set by Dr. O. C. Aderhold, and
move the University on to
higher peaks of accomplish
ment.
1 am grateful, that through
God’s good pleasure, I have
had the opportunity of visiting
the campuses of many of our
great institutions of learning
and of associating with the
towering figures in education,
since having the heavy duties
of Governor placed upon my
shoulders.

FIRECREEK
When two well-known actors
(James Stewart and Henry Fonda)
are co-starred in a picture, you
expect great things.
That is the result in "Fire
creek,” a simple little western.
Much credit is due the director
Vincent McEveety who builds
the story to a climatic finish.
James Stewart, a part-time
sheriff and farmer, is rightfully
angered when Henry Fonda and
his four killers arrive in the
peaceful small western town
and terrorizes the area. It is
a breath taking dim ax when these
two stars face each other over
tbe .barrel of a gun.

(PRN) MADISON, GA., CHURCH in town Sherman refused to
bum When Federal forces marching from Atlanta approached
Madison. Ga., U. S. Senator Joshua Hill, who did not vote for
secession, rode out to meet General Sherman, whom he had
known in Washington. Sherman favored Hill's plea that the city
be bypassed. Some damage was done to the town when General
Slocum’s troops came through. During this raid a silver service
was taken from the Presbyterian Church above. After the War,
General Slocum returned it and today the service is still
treasured and used. The church, of Old English design, built
1842, is noted for its original Tiffany stained glass windows.
Here Ellen Axon, first wife of President Woodrow Wilson,
worshipped while her father was pastor, 1866-67.

How NOT to put up
a TV antenna.
by Reddy Kilowatt
Do NOT put up a television antenna near
electric wires. Do NOT try to raise or
lower the antenna by yourself. Do NOT
run or anchor guy wires near electric
wires. If the antenna starts to fall into
electric wires, turn it loose before contact
is made. Do NOT attempt to remove it.
But the best rule is: Do NOT put up a
television antenna yourself. Call a quali
fied television serviceman. You’ll find his
telephone number in the yellow pages. He
has the equipment and experience to put
up an antenna safely.
And that’s how to put up a TV antenna.
