Governor Maddox has laid down very clearly his intentions of vetoing every tax bill passed, unless the sales tax increase comes out of the legislature, which, if the Governor follows through on the threat, will brmg wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Highway Department. And, of course, there is the matter of appropriations for the next fiscal year. This has been GM STOP! (12 Olds models are priced under $2999.)* »»»■«•««(,«> Think an Olds is out of your league?

However, we would sur- mise that this Committee will 1 pass out an appropriatons bill dealing with only the amount of money now available. This would be about the same budget as the State is operating under now. Then, the General Assembly will meet in special session to consider tax measures further. We predicted this before the reg ular session started, but with all the hot issues involved in this session, predictions can easily go right out the window. ****** Two weeks ago, we wrote about United States Senator Hol lings, of South Carolina, and his belated acknowledgement of hun ger in his state. We said that it looks to us as if he is a candid ate for the 1972 Democratic nom ination for Vice-President on the liberal Edward Kennedy ticket. Well, a reader thought this ’ over and came up with the con ; elusion that Senator Herman ' Talmadge is moving in the same • direction. He gave a number of • reasons for this opinion. For in stance, he believes that Tal l madge is “changing with the ■ times” and orienting his thoughts i more to the liberal side, partic • ularly in education, health and ■ welfare. “Not that the Senator hasn't always been keenly con ■ cerned with these important । functions in human existence”, he said, “but for the first time since going to the Senate he has allowed the public to know of this concern". Also, the man said, Talmadge must believe that the Kennedy people realize that to carry the South in 1972 they must have a conservative on the ticket with them, and Herman fills the bill admirably —a conservative, but one with a keen awareness of the needs of the common man. He would bring immeasurably more strength to the Democratic ticket than would Sen. Hollings. There may be a lot to what this reader says. Talmadge has never made a public statement that he has any further ambi tions than doing a good job as Senator, but he’s an ambitious man and if the door opened, we have no doubt he would give serious consideraton to a Vice- Presidential nomination. Too, he admires Edward Kennedy very much, as he has told the writer more than once. Who knows — in 1972 Herman Talmadge may be the strongest candidate for national office since Dick Russell back in the fifties. ****** A State official just back from Washington tells us that the Nixon administration has fired a half dozen of the top men in the Veterans Administration. Bill Driver, Administrator, is staying on, but on condition that he let his chief assistants go. We haven’t seen this announced publicly, yet. ****** Former dean of the House, Congressman Carl Vinson, has a good pipeline into the White House. Nixon’s chief legislative aide, Bryce Harlow, was- Mr. Vinson's protege years ago. ****** The rumor is out that State Senator Brooks Pennington will resign from the Senate shortly, and may be a candidate for Com missioner of Agriculture. Reports say that he has told new Com missioner Tommy Irvin that he will run “if you don’t do a good job”. Mr. Irvin will, undoubted ly, do just that, but if Penning ton does run, he’ll make a good race, if for no other reason than he has plenty of money to fi nance a hard hitting campaign. ****** Congressman Mendel Rivers, of South Carolina, who succeeded his close friend Carl Vinson as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has notified State Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler that he’ll attend the dedication on April 29 of the new Veterans Home in Milledge ville. ****** Atlanta architect W. J. Greg son has received nationwide pub licity on his warning that the Capitol in Washington could fall down any day. Latest is a front-cover-illustrated story in a national science magazine. Maddox Urges Parents To Help Protect Schools ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov. Lester G. Maddox, addressing a Murphy - Candler Elementary PTA meeting in Lithonia the other evening, warned parents of the dangers confronting pub lic school systems in Georgia and elsewhere and called on them to help retain local control over the schools. “Most of us do realize the importance of education,” he said. “What many of us don’t realize, I’m afraid, is that these same schools that we depend on for the proper education of our children can be used to destroy our children’s beliefs in free dom, democracy and their coun try, and — as if that weren't enough—they can serve to de stroy a child's initiative and ambition. “It is these very dangers that all parents, and all other peo ple who are concerned with our schools, should recognize — and fight.” Gov. Maddox emphasized he was not attacking “our public system of education,” but was speaking out against “some of the people who have been en trusted with the operation of this system,” and “some of the ideas and policies that they have plowed into our educational processes.” Continuing, the governor talked of the Communist ene mies of America who, he said, are accomplishing “their dirty work” by using “the Students for a Democratic Society, the Dußose Clubs, our schools, our churches, our news media and our federal government.” “To combat these forces,” he asserted, “we must realize that the main danger that confronts our public school system-—and the proper education of our chil dren—is the loss of local control over our schools.” Gov. Maddox concluded his hard-hitting speech to parents in these words: “Here in Georgia we have made tremendous advances in improving the educational fa cilities across the state. We have met the demand for new school buildings, new materials and new teachers. Proposals have been made and plans are under way to make our school system even better. "Plans are now being studied to provide additional funds to county and city school systems across Georgia—funds that will improve existing facilities and build new ones; funds that will provide new teaching materials and create a more attractive pay scale for employees of our school systems. “But, all the new materials and facilities will be of little value if they are not put to the proper use in the education of our children. You, the members of the PTA, have the closest contact with the officials of your school systems. You are the ladies and gentlemen who! through constructive action, can have a large part in assuring a proper education for our chil dren. “When you see local control of your schools being taken away by others whose interest is not in the proper education of your children make your pro tests loud and firm.” TRAVEL GOOD FOR NERVES! — □ "Getting away from it all” is not only healthy say psychologists — it's necessary!

O DISCOVER AMERICA Drawing Os State’s Float In Smithsonian ATLANTA (PRN) - The Smithsonian Institution has notified Georgia officials that the original drawing of the state’s float in President Richard M. Nixon’s Inaugural Parade has been enshrined in the national museum. The drawing is being incorporated in the collection of inaugural memorabilia in the Smithsonian’s Division of Political History. C. Malcolm Watkins, Chairman of the Department of Civil History, said, “Since we do not already have an original drawing of a float in our collection, it is a most worthwhile addition to the collection.” The Georgia float was the only one of the state sponsored floats to be honored in such a manner by the Smithsonian Institution. The 40-foot long float depicted a typical Southern garden scene with columns, statuary and a reflection pool. It was designed and built by Earl Hargrove, a former Georgian now living in the Washington area. The original artist’s rendering of the Georgia float was presented to the Smithsonian Institute by the Tourist Division of the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade. GREAT GLAZES % I r . L 'll For eye-appeal and flavor bonus, glazes are the thing. A glaze that couldn't be easier is pouring dark corn syrup right from the bottle over any meat or poultry during the last 30 minutes of baking or roasting. Another glaze that is especially good on pork chops or a pork roast is made by mixing equal parts of dark corn syrup and apple jelly ^erk^Up Wiqter Weary Wooleys We’ve done so many wonderful things with wool, a sheep might not recognize his own coat, once he’s been shorn. Wool has been woven into fab rics so sheer they drape like silks. Some woolens are even soil and water resistant, making upkeep easier. But what do you do about a woolen dress .or suit still too clean to send to the cleaners, yet too wilted looking to wear? Try sizing. You may have already tried sizing to add “like new" body to summer cottons and synthetics. Now research studies show that women have tried sizing on woolens and have been delighted with results.
