Pembroke's Mayor To Join Lions
Club At Richmond Hill And Be
Made A Member At Holiday Inn
For a long time the Mayor of Pembroke, who is also
Editor of The Pembroke Journal has been an invited guest at
the Ladies Night parties which the Lions Club of Richmond
Hill holds, and at the last one we expressed a desire to be
come a “full fledged” roaring Lions, pay our dues and be
come an active member in the Richmond Hill Lions Club,
inasmuch as we do not have one in Pembroke. We were
called a few days ago and told that we were invited to an
other Ladies Night Affair, this time to their handsome Holiday
Inn on Wednesday night, February 26, and that if we so de
sired we could “jine up” and become a full fledged member.
So we will be on hand and become a member of the
Richmond Hill I ions Club at their big affair at the Holiday
Inn of Richmond Hill, which to us is one of the finest
Holiday Inn that we have ever been in, and we ha seen
many.
We give the Richmond Hill Lions Club credit in a big way,
in helping land this fine new Holiday Inn for Richmond Hill
and Bryan County, as it is owned and promoted by four
people, two from Liberty and the other two from Bryan, and
both of them are staunch members of the Lions Club.
This modern Holiday Inn is one of the finest things that
ever happened to Bryan County, and the people of Per moke
enjoy going there, as it oilers all of us facilities that w never
had befme.
We Heli that wide awave clubs such as Lion Dotm
etc are the bi ‘ assets a community can have.

ONE Os I HE MAJOR problems facing the new Administra
tion and the ( ongress this year is mounting pressure for top-to
bottom tax reform. It is impossible to tell at this point just how
much progress will he made, but the issue promises to he a
lively one in the months ahead.
Ihe departing Johnson Administration left behind a set of
lax reform proposals, and President Nixon has his own task force
al work on the federal tax system.
We need a thorough examination of the Internal Revenue
(ode with a sharp eye out for fundamental reforms that can lead
to a more effective and equitable tax structure for everyone con
’ ccrncd. individual and corporation alike.
I
IHI RE IS A GREAT need to find the ways and means to
close the gap between people on one hand, who by one means
, or another, are avoiding their fair share of taxes, and those on
• the other hand who are carrying more than their fair share’ of
the lax burden
Loopholes that c " be employed to grant special privileges
lo select groups shoo’ >e closed to prevent wanton tax dodging
* and. at the same tin we ought to try to give tax relief where
, it is most needed an served—particularly among the elderly
। md low income worl
1 In these areas v have people who are least able to bear
ixcessive taxation, b, who pay in too many instances a very
ugh percentage of tl ir income, even though it may fall al or
' tear the povertx level.
I I hope that the Senate f inance Committee, which handles
ill tax legislation and of which I am a member, will especially give
t .-areful study to this aspect of the tax system
I HE IAX EXEMPT SI All S of some so-called nonprofit
private foundations also demands a thorough going over. I his tax
ireak very olten works to their benefit when in reality these
oundations are doing business, making money and competing with
nona fide taxpaying private businesses.
And. there is increasing criticism, which 1 believe is justified,
nt the tax free standing enjoyed by militant pressure groups
whose sole aim is to stir up trouble and influence legislation.
These are some of the issues involved in tax reform. There
are of course many more, and we can expect to he hearing more
about them in the near future

If the Judges of the Georgia
Court of Appeals and the Su
i.retne Court Justices don’t get
their raise this year, there are
forty Superior Court Judges who
will he making more than the
Appellate judiciary, considering
the hefty raise the Superior
Court boys just received from
the General Assembly, plus their
county supplements.
And if they do get the raise,
there'll still be 21 Superior
Court judges exceeding those on
the Appellate benches.
Fulton Superior Court Judges
now get $10,300 a year more than
the Appellate judges, and if the
Appellate group gets the full
raise asked, the Fulton judges
will still be making $5,800 more
than the two higher courts.

Also a potential candidate for

to be already taking steps to se
cure the Vice-Presidential nom

Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is
expected to be the Democratic
nominee for President. Else, why
should Hollings make such a
grandstand play about poverty in
his slate — along with full TV
coverage — when he was raised
up there and couldn’t have
helped knowing about hungry
people. And, if he had wanted to
do so, he could have done plenty
about it without the benefit of
television. You can watch for
many more moves from him
along the liberal lines.

Charlie has served as D. A.

Georgia since July, 1961, when
he was appointed by Pres. Ken

of U. S. Senators Russell and

by Pres. Johnson in 1965.
The new connection will, un
doubtedly, be of much benefit to
both Mr. Goodson and Mr. San

And the people of other coun

I COLLEGE BOUND j
qj rC
by Patricia Pirolli S
Patricia Pirolli, graduate oj
Monmouth College, Mon
mouth. Illinois, and now an
admissions counselor tor the
college, answers some typical
questions by high school
students about college.
Q. When is the best time to
begin looking for a college?
A. The best time is during
your junior year in high
school. This way. you and
your parents can look at
many schools before narrow
ing the decision down to
three or four. Concentrate on
these schools during your
remaining year in high school.
md then
make your fi
nal decision.
Q Who
should make
the decision
of what col
lege I am to
attend?
A. Ultimately, the student
should. After talking it over
witii your parents, your high
school counselor, and a repre
sentative of the college, and
carefully considering all other
factors, you make the deci
sion.
Q. Before 1 make up my
mind, should I visit the
campus?
A. Definitely. Every campus
has a different atmosphere,
and you may not like it. The
time to find out is before you
arrive on campus to begin
studies. At Monmouth, we
encourage prospective stu
dents to come to the campus
tor a day or so during the
week so they can sit in on
classes, visit the students on
campus, and see the dormi
tories and general life of the
school. We set up appoint
ments to talk to professors
and students during your
visit. In this way, you are
exposed to all factors of
student life. I would encour
age you to do this with any
college you are seriously
considering.
Q My family’s income is
average. Will this keep me
from attending my first
choice college which is expen
sive?
A. No. Many families cannot
afford to pay college costs
from savings or income.
Therefore, most colleges have
excellent financial aid pro
grams offering scholarships,
grants, loans and jobs. Today,
the amount of financial aid
awarded by a college is
closely related to a student’s
need to attend that college.
Contact the financial aid
officer at the college of your
choice for complete infor
mation.
Q. If I have a very detailed
question about a college, who
should I see?
A. Your high school coun
selor will be able to help. Or
you can ask your high school
counselor how to contact the
college’s counselor. If you
have a question about Mon
mouth College. I would be
glad to help. Talk to your
high school counselor and he
will tell you how to reach me.
