were lovely and the tour was considered second to none. Mrs. Louise Bacon said that she could

proved to be a real treat to the group. The ladies were given a copy of the Pembroke Journal
when they visited the office and expressed delight at our write-up of our approaching Golden
Wedding Anniversary, and said they were going to place it in their scrap book.

MELANIE SPEIR RELATES LITERARY STUDY TO
F.H.A., 4-H, AND HOME ECONOMICS CLASSES
At the last F.H.A. meeting Melanie Speir presented her
Home Economics Literary Project which was “A Study of Family
Food Needs as related to the Family Resources of Time, Money
and Energy.”
She did studying- and research on the food needs of the
family and how the homemaker utilizes her resources to meet
these needs. To get these ideas over to the public she prepared
colorful posters to use in presenting her project orally to others.
She also has done many bulletin boards and newspaper articles
on the subject.
At the last 4-H Club meeting she presented her project to
the members. This being a joint meeting- of boys and girls she
hoped that the boys too would gain some knowledge of food
needs.
She has presented several filmstrips and talks on the subject
to Mrs. Smith’s Home Economics classes. Many of the students
have commented on how much they enjoyed the presentations.

Gov. Lester Maddox
Reports Jp he People
ATLANTA (PRN) -1 am
proud, of the accomplish
ments made, and the efforts
put forth by the Maddox
Administration in working to
improve the standards of
education across Georgia.
We have built new schools
and improved the facilities at
others. We
have pro
vided more
supplies
and mater
ials for the
classrooms,
and in
addition,
we have put
through
two much-
-needed pay raises for our
teachers.
We have met the challenge,
and the challenge will
continue to be met.
As long as I am Governor I
will not stop working for the
improvement of public
education in our State. I know
that, during this time, we will
be working together toward
these goals.
This particular meeting, 1
am told, deals with
“influences at work in the
community which aid in the
growth and development of
the child.”
Two of the most important
influences on a child are his
parents, and his school. It is
for this reason that I value so
highly the P.T.A.
organizations throughout
Georgia, and their sincere
interest in the welfare of our
children.
There is another point
which I feel sure we are all in
agreement on — that the
future of our cities, of our
states, and of our nation will
soon -rest in the hands of the
children we are not striving to
educate. In view of this, it is
only right that concern for the
proper education of our
children should be foremost in
our minds.
There are other influences
in the community which have
a great deal to do with the
proper growth and
development of the child.
One of the influences is, of
course, the church.
When we stop and think of
the dangers that threaten a
freedom loving nation like
ours, we should also think of
the words of Horace Greeley,
when he said, “It is impossible
mentally or physically to
enslave a Bible-reading
people.” We should also
remember the words of
George Washington. He said,
“No nation can be rightly
governed without God, and
the Bible.”
Our great country was
founded on a strong belief in
God and the ideals of
Christianity. On these same
ideals our country has grown
to be the most wonderful
place to live on the face of the
earth. It is these same beliefs,
carried on by our children,
that will preserve and spread
the spirit of freedom and
liberty throughout the world.
In our lifetime we have
seen God kicked out of our
schools. But, although our
children will not start out
their day in school with a
prayer for guidance and help,
we can make sure that the
Christian influence is felt in
the community, and especially
in the home.
The longer I stand here and
think of influences in the
community that can aid in the
proper growth and
development of the child, the
more examples come to my
mind.
Two of them that 1 think
are vitally important are a
feeling of pride — and a
feeling of hope, of
opportunity.
By pride, I mean a feeling
of pride in the heritage of our
country. And understanding
of the sacrifices that were
made by so many men and
women so that we, today,
might experience the freedoms
and the liberties that make our

Governor’s
Day Mar. 31
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.,
(PRN) — Georgia Military
College will honor Georgia’s
Chief Executive on March 31
with the first Governor’s Day
in the 90-year history of the
institution.
GMC President, Col.
William Rodimon, in making
the announcement of the
upcoming Governor’s Day,
said that the school
administration hopes to make
the event an annual tradition
at the essentially military
junior college and preparatory
school.
According to present plans,
Gov, Lester Maddox, who will
be the first of many Chief
Executives to receive the
school’s tribute, will arrive on
the GMC campus at 11 o’clock
on the Monday morning of
March 31 and will be greeted
and welcomed by President
Rodimon. The 90th Cadet
Battalion plans to accord the
Governor all appropriate
military honors including a
19-gun salute. He will be
invited to inspect his Honor
Guard comprised of the Cadet
Band, the 16-man Precision
Drill Team and the Color
Guard.
Highlight of Governor’s
Day at GMC will come when
Georgia’s Chief Executive
addresses the Cadet Battalion
on Davenport Field. Invited as
special guests to share the
platform with Gov. Maddox
and Col. Rodimon will be State
Sen. Culver Kidd, State
representatives Floyd
Harrington and Phillip
Chandler, the Hon. Carl
Vinson, the Hon. Robert
Stephens, Congressman from
the Tenth District, Dr. J.
Whitney Bunting, President of
the Georgia College at
Milledgeville, George
Stembridge, John Moore,
Harold Goodrich, Frank Davis,
James Grant, Robert Herndon
and Dr. George Ritchie, all
members of the GMC Board of

Commenting on GMC’s
decision to establish
Governor’s Day, President
Rodimon pointed out, “In this
day when so much attention is
being focused on the demand
for abolition of the ROTC on
certain campuses, Georgia
Military College is proud to
remind the public of its
honorable and long history as
an essentially military school
with an honor ROTC unit.”

todays worth living and our
tomorrows worth looking
forward to.
Our children must also
realize the range of
opportunity that awaits them
in this country.
I can tell you that I have
personally experienced these
opportunities. When I was in
grade school my clothes
weren’t new and my pockets,
didn’t jingle with the sound of
money I was to use for a soda,
or a kite, or to go to a movie.
But my heart was full of hope
and ambition because I
realized and saw the
opportunities that were
waiting for me — asking only
for my hard work and
dedication.
These same opportunities
exist today.
The opportunity to learn.
The opportunity to work
where you please.
The opportunity to open
your own business.
The opportunity to serve
your fellow citizens in public
office.
The opportunity to
participate in the building of a
stronger and a freer America.
