Affects 18 Counties
Groveland Project
Interests Maddox
By TOM CONNOLLY
State Editor
STATESBORO—BuIIoch Rep,
W. Jones Lane said Monday
Gov. Lester Maddox is looking
with interest to the Groveland
Project that will put a big lake
in southeast Georgia.
Lane will represent Maddox
at a meeting in Claxton Thurs
day. At the meeting, a steering
committee will be chosen from
among representatives of 18
counties to be affected by the
project.
The project is proposed as a
22,000-acre reservoir to be built
in portions of Bryan, Bulloch,
Candler and Evans counties.
A dam will be built on the
Canoochee River below the
mouth of Lotts Creek, parallel
to U.S. Highway 280.
Lane told the Morning News
that Maddox has expressed “a
great interest in this project.”
He said the governor became
interested in the Groveland Pro
ject after the General Assembly
passed a resolution last session
which called for implementation
of the project.
"What he wants me to do is
find out what the state can do
for the project,” Lane said.
He said he could not say just
how far Maddox is willing to go
as it has not yet been deter
mined how the cost of the plan
will be met.
"He (Maddox) wants some
thing like Lake Lanier for south
Georgia,” said Lane. Lane said
Maddox would attend the Clax
ton meeting were it not for a
prior engagement.
l.ane said he would probably
get with Maddox two or three
days after the meeting to dis
cuss the project with him.
With the administration’s sup
port, Lane probably will be the
legislator who will introduce the
project as a bill in the House.
Lane said the next session of
the General Assembly ‘will be
the year” to get the plan under
way.
As the recreation complex
will serve 50,000 people in IF
counties, Lane said, there
should be little or no trouble
getting support from the Gener
al Assembly.
The Groveland Project has
the backing of many civic and
governmental bodies. In addition.
Sen. Herman Talmadge has
made known his support of the
project. Lane said he expects
Talmadge, Sen. Richard Russell
and Ist District Rep. G. Elliott
Hagan to work on getting feder
al support for the plan while he
and others try to get statewide
support.
At the Claxton meeting (3
p.m., City Hall) representatives
of the 18 counties will formally
organize an "action” commit
tee. The panel will begin form
ing plans for implementation of
the project. They are expected
to spell out what form of sup
port is expected from the state
and federal governments.
The Groveland Project was
initially proposed in 1963 by the
Southeast River Basin Study
Commission. It was taken up as
a chief goal of the Georgia
Southern Area Planning and
Development Commission when
it was formed two years ago.
The GSAPDC has been gath
ering grassroots support of the
plan and the upcoming meeting
will represent a new direction
in effort for the group. Officers
of the commission feel the pro
ject has all the support needed
now. and what is yet needed is
a comprehensive study and
planning, and funding.
William T. Greer, executive
director of the GSAPDC, said
the commission has accom
plished much in bringing the
project to its present stage and
the July 18 meeting “would be
recorded as one of the mile
stones in the writing of the
Groveland Story "

Gov. Lester Maddox
Report^^il People
ATLANTA (PRN) Your
governor has received a
tremendous reaction from
concerned Georgians
everywhere to the current
proposal before the Congress
regarding gun control.
I hear the voices of
sportsmen and law abiding
citizens everywhere who are
appalled by those government
leaders who are attempting to
disarm
America in
violation of
the constit I
ution.
And I'
want to
urge all of
you to ।
register you
complains
against the I
proposed gun control
legislation with your
Representatives and Senators.
By the very nature of these
proposals, there is so very
much more at stake then the
siu.pie control of firearms. We
are really dealing with the
control of people — all people,
not just those who nis-use
firearms. In fact, the criminal,
who is the alleged cause of the
need for such legislation, will
be the least affected by it, for
he is outside the law already.
This control of the people
could easily be accomplished
by first limiting, then
eliminating, the ability of the
people to defend themselves,
not only from personal
violence, but also, should it be
needed, from the oppression
of their own government.
r he registration of firearms
by the government is an acute
danger to all our rights and
liberties.
The constitution, on this
subject, is quite clear:
The Bill of Rights states, in
part that “a well regulated
Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free Slate, the
right of the people to keep
and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.”
This proposed
infringement, of course, is not
the first one Americans have
come to know, but because it
strikes at the very basis of the
rights and liberties of all
citizens, it needs to be put
down. As your governor, I ask
your help in putting it down.
All) TO CITIES
Our big cities have
problems with ever-widening
slum areas, which breed crime,
violence, immorality,
welfarism and despair. The
source of these problems can
be traced back to the
hundreds of dismantled
agricultural communities
which dried up because we
failed to plan ahead.
Without good schools, a
good water and sewerage
system, good streets, and an
adequate fire and police
department, a town cannot
attract industry.
Without industry, men who
have been replaced on the
farm by machines cannot find
a job.
Without jobs, men, women
and children cannot eat.
Men, women and children
must eat. so the unemployed
men. the frightened women
and the hungry children come
to the big cities and crowd
into the already overcrowded
slums.
It is absolutely futile to try
to eradicate slums by moving
people out when you have a
twenty-five year backlog of
others waiting in line to move

in. Before you can hope to
bale out a boat, you have to
stop the leak. And the leak, in
this case, can be found in our
rural communities.
1 believe that the Maddox
administration program of
state aid to cities in the
amount of one-half cent of the
sales tax and one-quarter cent,
or a minimum of twenty-five
million for counties, is the
best possible way to stop this
wasteful leak of human
resources and to restore the
vitality of Georgia’s cities,
both small and large.
PHOOEY
I have been most pleased
with the number of telegrams
my office has received in the
last week since an Atlanta
citizen called a press
conference which was
attended by a sparse number
of media representatives, to
urge that Georgians
dissatisfied with my
administration send me a
telegram, saying "Phooey”.
Some 250 telegrams have
been received, and the
’’Phooey” wires are
The Year Os The Buffalo Bill
William F. Cody began his
career as a messenger with
wagon trains, and went on to
become a driver, Pony Express
Rider, guide. Chief Scout for
the United States Army, Indian
fighter and international show
man. As Teddy Roosevelt once
described him. “he embodied
those traits of courage,
strength, and self-reliant hardi
hood which are so vital to the
well being of the nation.”
The legend of the American
west is filled with the exploits
of Colonel Cody and his rifle.
On more than one occasion,
the fates of both were im
portantly joined to help deter
mine the outcome of what has
come to be known as the
American Odyssey — the open
ing of the last Frontier.
In 1874, “Buffalo Bill” Cody
wrote to the Winchester Fire
arms people, stating he had
tried and tested nearly every
gun made in the United States,
and for general hunting and
Indian fighting, their improved
rifle was "The Boss."
How fitting that “the gun
that won the west” should play
a small but important role in
the establishment of the Buffalo
Bill Historical Center in Cody,
Wyoming.
The Center houses the na
tion’s most extensive collection
of the records and momentos
of Buffalo Bill, including the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
His most cherished honor how
ever, was the name "Prairie
Chief,” bestowed on him by
his conquered enemies, the
Sioux. The Center also contains
Indian, cowboy, transport ma
terial, and other artifacts of
Western Americana. Most of
the several thousand items are
irreplaceable.
The Buffalo Bill Commemo
rative rifle is similar to the
early Winchester repeaters that
were so much a part of his
exploits on the plains. Reminis-
outnumbered by some
four-toone by those who
express praise. 1 am deeply
grateful for that.

Did Not Wear
Safetv Belts
ATLANTA (PRN) - Os the
24 persons who died from
automobile accident injuries
over the long Fourth of July
holiday week end not a single
victim was wearing a seat belt
at the time of the crash,
according to Georgia
Department of Public Safety
accident reports. Twelve of
the victims were drivers; ten
were passengers, and the
driving status of one fatality is
not known. A pedestrain was
also killed. Fifty percent of
the victims were age 30 and
under.
“How many of these
persons might have lived if
seat belts had been in use is
not known,” said A. Faegin

The barrel and tang are in

fairly conclusive evidence,
however, that two of the 24
would not have been killed if
their seat belts had been
buckled, and, based on
previous fatal accident studies,
a probable forty percent, or
nine persons would have
sustained less serious injuries if
they had worn safety belts.
“As a result of these
reports, we want once more to
urge both drivers and
passengers to use seat belts
and safety harness - now
available in a majority of late
model cars of American
manufacture. Every in-depth
study of fatal accidents in this
country shows that these
devices are the most
economical and the most
effective safety features
available to people who want
to survive the slaughter on our
highways,” he concluded.
