THE HIGHEST NATIONAL
AWARD of the Office of Eco
nomic Opportunity was pre
sented last week to J. Dixie
Harn, one of Pembroke’s most
outstanding civic leaders. To
understand the full significance
of the award one must realize
that it is based upon recommen
dations of field workers whose
reports are carefully screened
before submission to Washing
ton, where they are again
screened and analyzed before
suggested recipients are select
ed.
Mr. Harn served as chairman
of the Coastal Georgia Com
munity Action Authority for
one year and is one of very
few chairmen to receive this
award for his "dedicated efforts
to alleviate the problems of the
poor in rural America and to
help in creating a better life
for our citizens.”
Isn't it odd that when we
have in our midst a man with
creative imagination, foresight,
and the ability to carry out the
much needed improvement pro

Pembroke residents displaying
a little of the Christmas Spirit
before the week of the 25th.
Our good friends at the U. S.

Postmaster J. E. Pevey sug
gests that the name and ad
dress of both the sender and
addressee be enclosed in parcels
to permit identity in case of
damage or loss of outside ad

COTTON REFERENDUM TO
BE HELD IN DECEMBER
The period December 2
through December 6 has been
set for the marketing quota
referendum for the 1969 crop
of upland cotton, H. L. Page,
Chairman, Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conesrvation County
Committee, reminds farmers.
The vote will be held by mail,
as it has been for the past 2
years. Notices of farm acreage
allotment will be mailed to
operators of cotton farms prior
to the referendum.
If quotas are approved by
at least two-thirds of the up
land growers voting, the pro
gram under which payments are
made to cooperators will be in
effect.
While all program details of
the upland cotton program will
not be announced until after
the November 8 crop report of
the Agriculture Department,
the farm domestic allotment
has already been set at 65 per
cent of the farm acreage allot
ment. Farmers who sign up
early next spring to participate
in the upland cotton program
and who plant at least 90 per
cent of their farm’s domestic
acreage allotment but not in ex
cess of the permitted acreage
for the farm will be eligible
for price-support loans on all
their cotton crop and for price
support payments based on the
projected yield and the farm
domestic allotment.
U pland cotton projected
yields — used to determine
cotton program payments —
vary by individual farms, based
on county and State average
yields. State yields are based
on 1963-67 harvested yields,
adjusted for abnormal weather
conditions, for trends, and for
changes in production prac
tices. The State projected yields
average out to the national
yield of 545 pounds per acre.
Georgia's projected yield is 502
pounds per acre.

Maddox Blasts
Many High-Ups
In Government
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox addressed the
Chickamauga Lions Club the
other evening. Among other
things, he told the “ladies
night” meeting about a new
penal institution soon to be
built in Walker County.
This new proto-type prison,
Maddox explained, “is designed
to handle 160-175 inmates and
meets some of our needs for a
more comprehensive rehabilita
tion program that will give
these men a better chance to
become productive citizens in
positions of gainful employ
ment.” Then he said:
“The thought occurs to me
that there are many people in
our county, including many in
our government, who could also
use some rehabilitation so that
they also might become useful
citizens.
"Although these people I am
talking about cannot be classi
fied as criminals they have
strayed to the point that they
can be considered a threat to
our society and our way of life.
“Some of these men, who are
part of an institution that was
created interpret our Constitu
tion, have turned to rewriting
it. They have told you that the
choice as to where children will
attend school, and as to whether
the day will start with a pray
er, is not yours to make.
“Even though our sons and
husbands are fighting Commun
ism in Vietnam, these men have
said we must allow Communists
to work in our defense plants.
They have told you who you
may or may not sell your home
to; who you may or may not
hire for your business, and who
you may or may not fire.
“They have turned loose, in
the streets of America, murder
ers, rapists, and bums. In fact,
these men have found more
ways to turn a criminal loose
than there are ways to fry
chicken.
“I have read our Constitution
many times, and I cherish it
just as I am sure you do, but
sometimes I wonder if these
men even know where they
might find a copy.”
Maddox And Sad
Face Dog Bring
Joy To War Vet
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Despite
what his chronic critics say of
him, Gov. Lester G. Maddox is
proving himself to be a kind,
thoughtful, compassionate chief
executive of the State of Geor
gia. And his humane qualities
transcend state boundaries.
Latest evidence of this in
volved a Rhode Island man—a
World War II veteran and an
amputee—who wrote Gov. Mad
dox for help in finding a “bas
set hound with long ears and
a sad face as a friend." He now
has his sad face friend, thanks
to Georgia’s governor.
Maddox said he received a
letter from Robert Freed, a 60-
year-old resident of Narragan
sett, R. 1., asking for help in
locating a special hound.
"He said he needed a basset
hound with long ears and a sad
face as a friend, the governor
said. “He thought possibly we
could find one. We had diffi
culty, but with the help of the
Atlanta Humane Society we
found an adequate dog, and it
was air-shipped to her waiting
master.
“I think we’ve made this man
happy . . . This is what we call
a people’s administration. It is
just an every day occurrence.”
Gov. Maddox added: “Now we
have to raise the SIOO to pay
the Humane Society. I want to
reimburse them.”

History's Biggest Fires Started Small
“All fires start small,” runs a
firefighters’ adage. “What
counts is how they finish.”
What happens between be
ginning and end depends on a
variety of factors—some within
man’s control and other in the
lap of the gods. Both elements
were at work in the great fire
of 1871.
According to legend, the con
flagration started as a minor
blaze ignited when Mrs. Pat
rick O’Leary’s cow kicked over
a kerosene lantern in a South
Side barn. It was a typical case
of human failure: Mrs.
O’Leary’s carelessness.
But Nature helped to feed
the holocaust—first by drought
which had left the city’s wooden
buildings tinder dry and then
by a stiff wind, which drove the
flames out of control.
Heavy Toll
Twenty-seven hours after the
first spark, a third of Chicago
lay in ashes. The toll: more
than 250 dead and $lB7 million
in property loss.
But human neglect was the
sole culprit in one of America’s
most appalling industrial fires:
New York’s Triangle sweat
shop catastrophe of 1911.
All the elements of tragedy
were compressed into the upper
floors occupied by the Triangle
Shirtwaist Co. in an antiquated
10-story building in mid-Man
hattan: more than 600 workers
squeezed into three stories . . .
floors littered with cloth scraps
and tissue paper . . . single-file
corridors and narrow stairways
leading to two pitifully inade
quate exits—one of them bolted
from the outside!
Cause a Mystery
What sparked the fire re
mains a mystery, but suddenly
an inferno erupted. Dozens
died pounding at the bolted
door or wedged in the passage
ways. Spectators watched help
lessly as, one after another, 60
girls leaped to their death from
ninth-floor windows. In all, 146
persons lost their lives; 70 were
critically injured.
New Laws

Triangle tragedy shocked legis

Quarantine On
Movement Os Hogs
The quarantine on movement
of hogs due to cholera is still
on and will probably remain for
an indefinite period.
In order to assist the farm
ers in t^e movement of hogs
during the period of quaran
tine the following procedure for
inspecting hogs has been estab
lished.
County Agents, Vocational
Agriculture Teachers and State
Department of Agriculture in
spectors have been authorized
to submit information to the
State Department of Agricul
ture for authority to move hogs
from farm to farm or for ex
hibition purposes where local
veterinary services is not avail
able or where small numbers
of hogs would not make it eco
nomically feasible for a veterin
arian to inspect. This exception
applies primarily to 4-H and
FFA swine and does not apply
to private sales or purebred
sales.
The county agent visits the
farm to assure that there are
no signs of sickness. This in
formation is then called or
mailed to Dr. J. F. Anderes,
State Veterinarian, Georgia De
partment of Agriculture, who
in turn will issue a permit for
movement. Movement before
the receipt of this permit would
be illegal. This authorizaiton
for county agents does not in
clude the movement of swine
for breeder or feeder sales.

. Yet even now, millions spend
their days in factories, offices or
schools constructed with built

High among such hazards is
' combustible pipe insulation.
Most commonly, this flammable
material is jacketed around
pipes in utility shafts, which
themselves act as chimneys to
’ fan and spread a minor blaze
into a conflagration. As Richard
E. Stevens, technical secretary
of the National Fire Protection
Association, puts it:
"Utility shafts for piping and
wiring sometimes promote
spread of fire and smoke, with
resultant loss of life and prop
erty.”
Insulation Burned
He cites as "notable ex
amples” the spectacular fires
which struck the Empire State
Building in New York on Jan!
9, 1963, and a Montreal office
building three weeks earlier. In
both cases, Stevens says, “pipe
insulation and jackets provided
the fuel, produced the smoke
and caused the fire spread.”
Recognizing the hazard, he
continues, manufacturers are
developing incombustible pipe
insulation. The first such ma
terial on the market to meet the
National Fire Protection As
sociation's exacting standards
for flame and smoke safeguards
was Johns-Manville's Flame-
