We Are Proud To Support Hogan
It now looks as if Congressman G. Elliott Hagan will
get by without opposition from any Democrat, leaving
him probably to face some Renubkcan, as several have
their eyes on the job. it is indeed a compliment to our
Congressman that he is being left alone by the Demo
crats, who realize what Con 'ressman Hagans seniority
means to the First District.
Yes, it has been our pleasure to be a firm supporter
of Congressman Hagan since th ra-e where he defeated
our good friend the late Prince H. Preston of Statesboro.
The people of the First D strict realize that the
Democratic party means more to them than any Re
publican candidate could do for them. Today Georgia and
the south are "eating at the first tab'e.” and will con
tinue to do that if our Democratic candidates go back,
and they will. The people have not forgotten the "Hoov
er Days.”
The Atlanta Journal tried to besmirch the line record
that our Congressman has made for the First District,
but it “backfired” on The Journal and their Republican
friends, and made the Congr ssman stronger than he has
ever been just before qualifying time.
There are probably some good men in Georgia who
have gone astray and become Republicans, forgetting
their training of the years and famine to realize that the
Democratic Party was and is the ra^ty of the Southern
people, but regardless of who g ts in the race against
Congressman G. Elliott Damn for Congress will get a
sound licking at the ballot box. and the Journal Editor
will be in there throughout the ramraign doing our part
to make it a complete “washout” for the Republicans.
Pembroke Faces Great Things In
The Days Ahead. Sewerage, A 38
Housing Development And More
After having lived in Pem
broke since August, 1927, dur
ing which time we have edited
The Pembroke Journal, and also
been Mayor of the City more
times and longer than any oth
er one ever has, and we are
still Mayor.
The Mayor will be in Wash
ington conferring with the Sen
ators and our Congressman
when this is read. We are go
ing there to try and get some
more housing for our little
.City, a contract will be award
ed within 30 days for the 38
low rent housing, and there is
a need for at least 100 more,
we feel that with the help we
will get, that we can bring
home some more of them. We
are going to get our sewerage
money on the way, we hope.
This is a MUST for us, for
with the low rent housing it is
necessary, there will be a half
million dollar addition to our
schools here very soon, and
they need sewerage, and the
51 acres that is being made
available to business firms has
already got a huge plant under
construction and others want to
come, just waiting for sewer
age.
The City will have Natural
Gas within the year, this will
mean much to us. And do not
forget that the present admin
istration has plans to move the
old depot over into the recrea
tion park where it can be made
available for family reunions,
etc. And where the present de
pot stands we will have a beau

Reports People
ATLANTA (PRN) - In this
season of graduation I want to
extend to all high school and
college graduating classes my
very best wishes. It is with
deep gratitude and an abiding
awareness that 1 pay tribute to
you and the importance of
graduation.
You have reached a
milestone and as one who did
not graduate I offer a salute to
you and I
hope a
c hallenge.
Because of
iny diffi
culties in
(obtaining
an educa
[tion I am
is t r o n gl y
.motivated
'in seeing
that ot h ers have the
opportunity for quality
education.
This determination has
been and will continue to be
one of the foundation stones
of the Maddox Administra
tion. In sixteen months of our
service, education in Georgia
has moved to its highest peak
on the mountain of progress.
With history-making
budgets for education, and
record salary increases for
teachers, accelerated school
construction, improved
teaching materials and
methods, education in our
state has assumed a position of
leadership and excellence.
In addition, we are using
our tireless energy in a wide
range of programs designed to
help our state and her people
realize their full potential.
This energy is being
expended in the development
of our natural resources,
better transportation, greater
help for human problems,
improved service for human
needs, more and better jobs
and unprecedented industrial
and tourism expansion.
Just this week, it was my
happy privilege to announce
the awarding of a contract by
the North Georgia Mountain
Commission to design an
experimental recreation center
near Unicoi State Park to
Stevens & Wilkinson, Atlanta
architectural firm. This center,
in two years, will be able to
provide wholesome relaxation
to families and at the same
time provide jobs and training
for the travel industry.
As you look at your state
and nation and see what is
going on, in science, industry,
business and politics, you
naturally wish to have your
part in these achievements.

Daniel Named
Publicity Head
For Six Flags
ATLANTA (PRN)
Donald J. Daniel, former
Clayton County newspaper
editor, has been named
Publicity Director for Six
Flags Over Georgia. The
announcement of Mr. Daniel's
appointment was made by
Angus G. Wynne, Jr.,
President of the Great
Southwest Corporation,
owner-operator of 276-acre
family entertainment center
located on 1-20 West in
Atlanta.
Mr. Daniel was editor of
the Clayton County Journal
for two and a half years. Prior
to moving to suburban
Atlanta, he was advertising
and see so much action
without getting involved in the
pursuit of your goal. If it be
action you seek, and with
your youthful spirit and
energy it surely is- then this
your own state is where the
action is.
If it is opportunity you
seek, and with your keen sense
of service and your sharp
minds- then this your own
state is where you'll find it.
You stand on the threshold
of a new life. I implore you to
look to The Bible as your
guide as you chart your
course. In this sacred volume
is found the wisdom of the
ages, providing principles of
power for ordinary individuals
to become extraordinary’
leaders and citizens.
The first step into this great
new future is decision. And 1
pray that you'll pray in
making it.
You have now the power to
change circumstances which
may seem to stand in your
way.
If anyone ever had a
perfect background for failure,
I did. If anyone ever had
circumstances with no
promise, I had them.
Poverty, lack of
opportunity, underprivilege,
hunger, lack of work,
disappointment,
heartbreak I’ve known them.
But just because I was born on
the wrong side of the tracks
certainly didn’t mean 1 had to
stay there. I crossed over.
1 believed my mother’s
teachings that this was a land
of opportunity, that if
circumstances didn’t favor me
to change those circumstances.
And with God’s help I was
able to do just that.
I didn't follow the crowd in
my neighborhood. 1 didn't get
in step with the trend. I took
an extreme route when I
broke with the tradition and
changed the circumstances.
It is easy to follow,
difficult to lead. Leading, or
being brave enough to resist
the trends, is often a lonely
occupation.
In our modern society,
when the trend is toward mass
disregard for law and order, it
may be lonely too to adhere
to discipline and respect for
authority, but that is the
foundation of our free society.
Today, as you enter the
realm of planning and shaping
the destiny of our world, I
urge you to walk slowly and
build a firm foundation as you
go, so that when time tests it.
it shall stand heroic.
My best wishes go with you
as you enter this new horizon.

Legality
Studied
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - The
executive secretary of the Geor
gi® Association of Petroleum
Retailers (GAPR) says the
trade group may push legisla
tion to outlaw games and con
tests at service stations.
Jack W. Houston said Monday
he thought the games violated
current state lottery laws. If
the present laws are not ade
quate to stop the games, he
said, the association’s board of
directors will consider at a
meeting in Atlanta this month
a recommendation to sponsor
specific legislation to ban them.
The GAPR released the re
sults of a survey that was said
to include 1,000 or more samples
from each of four games pre
sently sponsored by oil com
panies in Georgia.
The association said their find
ings showed that a motorist vis
iting a participating station on
an average, of once a week has
a chance to win $1 or less once
in two years, $5 in 32 years and
$lO in 96 years.
Houston said the contests are
paid for by service station deal
ers, not the sponsoring oil com
panies.
He said the dealers are, in
theory, free to choose whether
to offer the games, but that
they are pressured to do so
from fear of losing customers.
