Washington, I). C—Two Georgians participated in ceremonies honoring Army Chief of Staff, General William C. West
moreland. Major General George J. Hearn, (L) Adjutant General of Georgia and First District Rep. G. Elliott Hagan (C),
were on hand as the National Guard Association of the United States presented General Westmoreland an award for
“Distinguished Service in Defense of This Nation.” Hagan first met Westmoreland two years ago in South Vietnam
when the Congressman toured U. S. military installations there as a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
The Army Green
Thought that you might be
interested in a role the army
is playing in our nation’s mis
sion to land a man on the
moon. The army map service,
part of our Corps of Engineers,
prepared a 22-foot-by-14-foot
model of a simulated lunar
surface for the National Aero
nautics and space administra
tion. It depicts a potential
Lunar landing site. The model
is part of the Lunar module
simulator that provides as
tronauts with flight crew
training and orientation for
an Apollo landing. Just think,
our astronauts can now ex
perience a lunar landing with
out leaving Florida!
RECORD YEAR FOR
ARMY EDUCATION

tion development program,

vocational courses from ele
mentary school through col

NEW ENLISTEES
Going from veterans to re
cruits, I’d like to mention the
names of some local men and
women who enlisted in the
Army last week. They are
Charles M. Polatty of Kings
land, Ga.; Robert T. Moye and
William J. Montgomery of
Brunswick, Ga.
One recent enlistee returned
home on leave and included
on their itinerary a visit to
our office. We were happy to
see SP/4 Richard Lee Stal
lard and wish him the best
of luck in service.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
A few weeks back, we an
swered a question concerning
the length of women’s hair.
Now the men want equal time
and so here is this week’s
question:
Is it true that my head will
be shaved during basic train
ing?
No. The army has definite
regulations prohibiting such
actions. In fact, a new regu
lation on personal appearance
and grooming allows many of
the newer hair styles to be
worn by soldiers.
FACTS ABOUT THE ARMY
Did you know?
—That the Army is conduct
ing extensive research with
laser beams for use in the
medical field?, or that our re
cruiting station is one of over
950 Army Recruiting Stations
located throughout the Unit
ed States and that there are
ten stations in overseas areas?,
well, we’ll see you next week
in the Army Green.

Patrol Revoked
49,103 Driver s
Licenses In z 6B
ATLANTA, (GPS) As the
result of the Georgia State Pa
trol’s stricter enforcement
policy being carried out by
more troopers working longer
hours, more traffic lawbreakers
lost their driving privileges
during 1968 than in 1967,
A total of 49,103 driver’s
licenses were revoked, suspend
ed or cancelled during 1968.
This was an increase of 3,914,
or 8.6 percent, over the previous
year, according to Georgia De
partment of Public Safety an
nual report released by Col R.
H. Burson, director.
A breakdown of last year's
action taken by the patrol
shows that of the 13,909 revoca
tions, 13,533 were for driving
under the influence of intoxi
cants, 307 for leaving the scene
of an accident, 29 for hit-and
run accidents, 18 for transport
ing whisky, and 22 for all oth
er offenses.
Os the 35,183 suspensions, 9,-
551 were for failure to have lia
bility insurance coverage when
involved in a hazardous viola
tion. Second highest was for
speeding with a total of 4,678
drivers grounded. In third place
came 2,734 drivers who commit
ted two hazardous violations
within a 12-month period.
Among the other leading
causes were: Driving while
license was revoked, suspended
or cancelled, 1,769; stop sign or
red light violations, 841; per
sistent violators, 702; following
too close to another vehicle,
405; reckless driving, 340; fail
ure to yield right of-way, 290,
and racing on the highways,
255.
Os the total suspensions, 11,-
509 came under Georgia’s safety
responsibility law which is ad
ministered by the Department
of Public Safety. Among these
1,250 were non-residents of
Georgia.
Nursing Care
For Veterans
ATLANTA “Georgia is
now in a position to provide
quality nursing home care to
veterans,’’ State Veterans Ser
vice Director Pete Wheeler said
today.
“The new 192-bed Georgia
Veterans Nursing Home in Au
gusta. which opened in early
January, is one of the most
modern nursing facilities for
veterans in the nation and right
now beds are available." he
said.
"We are proud of this new
facility for both men and wom
en; not only because it is being
operated by the fine staff of
the Medical College of Georgia,
but also because we have the
most modern treatment equip
ment and facilities," Mr.
Wheeler said.
Applications for admission
to the Augusta Nursing Home
can be made through any field
office of the Georgia Depart
ment of Veterans Service A
review board of the Medical
College acts on the applica
tions.
The Nursing Home has sev
eral single-bed rooms providing
treatment for the first time to
female veterans, Mr. Wheeler
noted.
He said, “We are interested
in getting as many applications
for treatment as possible while
beds are open.”
Great Majority
Os Youth Today
Superb- Herman
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Despite
the image generally displayed
of today's American youth, U.
S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
thinks the vast majority of
young men and women in this
generation is the best yet.
For exam p1 e, in a recent
radio report to Georgians, in
which he advocated a constitu
tional amendment that would
allow 18 year-olds to vote in
federal elections in all states
(Georgia has allowed 18-year
old voting for some 2(1 years),
Sen. Talmadge concluded his
remarks by saying:
“We read much about youth
in the news media today. We
hear about the L.S.D. crowd,
the fast-car crowd, the draft
card burners, and the demon
strators and the rioters. But
they represent a woefully small
percentage of the young people
in our country.
"I have had the privilege re
cently of visiting a great num
ber of high schools and college
ca m puses and I have been
amazed at the alertness, the in
telligence. the serious-mindness
of the young people that 1 have
met on the campuses.
“They are better educated
of the past. They are more in
telligent than they’ve ever been
before. They believe in the fu
ture of our country. They have
confidence in themselves. They
want to succeed and 1 am tre
mendously impressed with the
young people in our state and
the overwhelming majority in
our nation.
"I .think it would be a step
in the right direction to bring
them more s t r o n g 1 y into all
areas of our governmental pro-

More Prayer Is
Needed-Maddox
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, speaking at
his annual prayer breakfast in
Atlanta, said that if prayer
breakfasts were held every day

faith.”

Sleep on, Dear Mother,

To take you from this world of

To a lovely place of rest.

Up there where sorrow is

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Angels guard thy sleeping clay,

To see you Resurrection day.
