Education, speak to all

includes a lifelong career as
teacher and administrator in
California schools.
He is a graduate of U.S.C.
and U.C.L.A. and the holder
of honorary doctoral degrees
from Lincoln University and
Brigham Young. Dr. Rafferty
is the most talked of figure in
American education today.
In 1961, he delivered the
most controversial speech an
educator has made in the last
generation, “The Passing of
the Patriot.”
In 1962, he wrote the
all-time best-seller on
education, “Suffer, Little
Children”; 1964, “What They

State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in 1962 in the
greatest outpouring of votes
ever cast in a nonpartisan
election on this continent, and
reelected in 1966 in an
unprecedented landslide of
almost 3 million ballots. In
1968, he was California’s
Republican candidate for
United States Senator.
He is an orator, complete
individualist, and one of the
few major educational
reformers in American history.

Gov. Lester Maddox
Reports the People
ATLANTA (PRN) - One
of my real concerns today is
for the future of private
education in our country.
Forces arc moving to destroy
private education in America.
Restrictions, legislative and
otherwise, are being sought
which would subvert the
control of private schools.
It is imperative that we, as
Americans, guard the free
exercise of
private
education,
) and at the
same time
nurture and
defend
traditional
American
public
education
which is
controlled on the local level.
The part this school is
playing in maintaining these
co n cepts and ideals in
education is commendable.
I was not able to complete
my formal schooling, and
because of my difficulty in
getting an education, I am
motivated more strongly to
see that others have the
opportunity for a quality
education.
During the M addox
Administration education in
Georgia has moved to its
highest ridge on the mountain
of progress.
Our trade and industrial
education program in high
schools and in the area
vocational-technical schools,
as well as the diversified
cooperative training projects,
are helping young people learn
skills for gainful employment
and the elements for
productive, efficient and
rewarding lives.
We have also provided
broader financial aid programs
for higher education, including
scholarships in medicine and
teaching, and a guaranteed
loan plan for students in need.
In two successive sessions
of the General Assembly we
appropriated, for the very first
time in history, two ten
percent salary increases for
academic personnel who serve
in higher education.
Georgia, at present, is in
the best position for qualified
teachers since the dawn of
public education in our State.
These strides have been
made because your State

Government, in cooperation
with the people, had the
determination to do more for
education in two years than
had been done in any previous
four year period. It is
significant that Georgia was
one of the first states in the
nation with a full-time
director of programs for gifted
children and now maintains
America’s largest public school
audio-visual library as well as
one of the largest State-owned
inter-connected educational
television networks in the
nation.
The same drive for
excellence has also been
witnessed in a wide array of
programs for the development
of our natural resources,
better transportation, greater
help for human problems,
improved service for human
needs, more and better jobs,
and unprecedented industrial
expansion.
These things we are doing
because we are committed to
building a better State and
securing a greater future for all
Georgians.
With the support and
cooperation of the people, I
shall continue to work for a
State where only the best is
good enough.
As each of you look at
your State and nation and
observe the advances that are
being made in almost every
field of concern, you naturally
want to find your place and
fill it.
The times in which we live
are indeed challenging. A
young person facing the future
in 1969 does not face an easy
path.
Our nation is plagued with
mob violence and Communist
manipulated disorder.
We are faced with crime,
insurrection, graft, corruption,
and loose morals.
Throughout the nation and
the world, mobs of rioting
university students have
brought revolution and chaos
to many of our educational
centers. Rampaging gangs of
rock-throwing, clubswinging
radical students have defied
police and have seized control
of buildings and rebelled
against attempts of authorities
to maintain order.
I’m thankful — and proud
— that such activities do not
characterize our schools.

THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL. Thursday, April 10, 1960-1
HELEN (PRN) - The town
of Helen, Georgia is getting an
entirely new facade. Drawings
done by artist John Kollock
are taking shape in the form of
quaint little shops that when
completed will give Helen the
look of a Bavarian or Alpine
village.
Artist Kollock, well known
in north Georgia and the
South, designed the new
facade for Helen because he
loves the mountains. Mr.
Kollock was stationed in
Bavaria and he says, “That is
the only other area I was ever
carried away with. I’ve wanted
to bring north Georgia and
Europe together for about 18
years.” And bringing it
together he is.
As you talk to the people
of Helen, they stress one thing
above all else: This is a
community effort.
Cooperation is 100% and
enthusiasm abounds. No one
1 even wants his name
mentioned because of being
unfair to all of the others.
Artist Kollock points out
that this project is being done
entirely by local people. Each
store owner finances his own
building and local craftsmen |
do the work. The
craftsmanship is superb. Roy
Sims and J. S. Chastain are
doing the building and it is
something to see. Mr. Kollock
says that upon seeing the
quality of craftsmanship these
men were capable of, he knew
the town would be built well.
There are no blueprints and no
specifications. The builders go
by Kollock’s drawings, some
of which are reproduced here.
The finished product always
looks exactly like the drawing.
Many of the buildings are
being remodeled on the inside I
as well as outside, and the
superior quality of work is
clearly evident as one enters
any of the structures.
The builders are moving
very fast and when completed
the town will have every
building remodeled. In
addition there will be- a
\Ne care where our product is served.
Beer served in pleasant and wholesome surroundings is
the aim of the United States Brewers Association. And
we are always striving to do something about it.
The USBA is represented by field men around the
country. They meet with proprietors of establishments
where beer is sold. They work in every way possible to
promote a set of high standards wherever beer is served.
This USBA effort means even more enjoyable places
for America's great beverage of moderation.

Anticipating parking
problems, the town is going to
provide parking in the rear
with a mall from the parking
lot to the town. Also there
will be lighting to show off the
Bavarian village to best
possible advantage.
All wiring will be
underground because, as says
Kollock, “A town of this type
must be photogenic for the
tourists.”
As the Bavaria of the Blue
Ridge catches on, it is almost
certain that local housing will
adopt the style and this is
what the people of Helen
want.
Pay Hike Boosts
Morale Os State
Patrol-Burson
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Despite
his obvious disappointment in
not receiving legislative ap
proval to hire an additional 100
state troopers, Col. R. H. Bur
son, director of the Georgia De
partment of Public Safety, said
the pay raises for State Patrol
personnel contained in a bill
just signed by Gov. Lester G.
Maddox should help in “retain
ing our present 600-man force.”
“Our uniform division is now
made up of fine, well-trained,
dedicated lawmen, perhaps the
best we’ve had in the 32-year
history of the patrol,” Col. Bur
son said. “But we were on the
verge of losing many of them
until the pay-raise bill was
signed into law.
“In talking to our men sta
tioned in various areas over the
state, it is evident that the pay
raise, which becomes effecitve
July 1, is a tremendous morale
booster among our personnel.
It not only should forestall the
resignation of some of our ex
perienced troopers who were
contemplating taking other jobs
at higher pay, but it should
help in recruiting other troop
ers.”
The pay raise bill, which pro
vided an $825,000 appropria
tion, boosted the base pay of
all uniform division personnel,
GBI agents, and all radio oper
ators and license examiners.
Base pay for troopers and
agents went up from $3,600 to
$4,175 annually. Higher grades
will get corresponding salary
increases, with majors, for ex
ample, going from $5,165 to $6,-
075 annually in base pay.
