Atlanta Friends Entertain Mayor
In Atlanta In A Royal Manner,
We Haven't Come Down To Earth
Last Wednesday afternoon
Pembroke’s Mayor, Frank O.
Miller “flew” to Atlanta in
order to try and put together
some of the “loose ends” of
business that was very vital to
our little city. Before leaving
we talked to our good friend
Hon. Warren Bateman, Adver
tising Manager for the Georgia
Power Company, who has been
our friend for a long time, he
informed us that we were not
going to a hotel while in At
lanta, that we would be his
guest in his home, and that he
would be at the Airport to meet
us.
When we arrived in Atlanta
we were “amazed” to find Mrs.
Bateman at the Aiport to meet
us, and told her that we were
highly honored to have her
meet us. We got into their sta
tion wagon and went out to
their lovely, large home atop a
“small mountain” on a beauti
ful three acre tract of woods,
trees, etc., and found one of
the loveliest homes that we
have ever had the privilege to
be a guest in, first we were
shown to our room, and private
bath, and told to come out in
the den and refresh ourselves
and then out on the back where
they have a large pool, and this
pool has all the trimmings.
They have three beautiful
“friendly” dogs.
About 6:00 Mr. Bateman ar
rived and after a dip in his
pool we had lunch and headed
to see the Braves play ball, but
this was an “off night” for the
Braves and they did not make
much of a show. We returned
home about midnight in a low
spirit, because the night before
we had listened at the Braves
over radio and heard them play
the game of a life time, and’to

Gov. Uster Maddox
^^jpeople_
ATLANTA (PRN) - Nearly
two and one-half yearsago, the
Maddox Administration took a
careful look into what Georgia
needed to keep her on the path
of progress. Many of these
programs have already been
implemented, but we haven’t
reached our full potential.
And it is, indeed, regrettable
that with the progress we have
made, Georgia will now take a
back ward
step.
The
1969 Gene
ral Assem
bly had two
chances to
help all the
people of
this State to
stay on the
road of
progress and prosperity which
we have been traveling in recent
years, but they denied you this
opportunity.
The programs I offered the
General Assembly were needed
and essential.
But they said no to these
programs.
All the citizens of Georgia
will suffer because of this
rejection — not Lester Maddox.
The one per cent sales tax
increase proposed by this
administration would have
allowed your children to
receive a better education. It
would have provided you with
better and s^fer highways. It
would have provided your
community with better police
protection and better
protection on our highways. It
would have allowed the
inmates in our prisons a chance
to receive rehabilitation and to
adjust to society when their
term is up. It would have
provided better care for our
mentally ill and better
make it worse we heard them
play another game that was out
of this world Friday night.
On Thursday morning the
Batemans carried us to the
State Capitol where we began
our tour of seeing “folks” which
carried us from one side of At
lanta to the other, finally we
called Mr. Bateman about 1,
as we had promised to and was
told to meet him at the Regency
Hotel for lunch, there we met
him and another employee of
the Georgia Power Company,
and after lunch was carried
over to the Georgia Power
Company building directly
across the street from the Reg
ency and spent some time see
ing the workers of the Adver
tising Department, and meet
ing the folks that we have been
dealing with for more than 40
years.
We learned more about the
Georgia Power Company than
we already knew, which we
thought was most of it, but we'
came away with a better in
formed understanding of the
operation of the Georgia Pow
er Company, who long has ad
vertised the fact that they were
a part in all things in all the
various places they served, and
they have truly proved to be a
good citizen for all the small
towns, weekly newspapers and
the State as a whole. Yes, we
came away prouder than ever
before we considered a friend
of the Georgia Power Company.
J .ley have meant much to Ye
Editor and all the little 2x4
newspapers throughout the
state and we are going to con
tinue more than ever to be very
close to the Georgia Power
Company and all of its em
ployees.

facilities. It would have
provided Georgia with more
new and expanded industry. It
would have provided financial
assistance to Georgia’s cities
and counties for sewerage
systems. It would have
provided a much-needed
cost-of-living increase for State
employees.
It would have provided you
with a better Georgia.
Your elected officials have
denied you progress and
prosperity.
Your elected officials had
ten million dollars which was
available for appropriation
through an increase in the
revenue estimate, but they
wouldn’t even use that to help
this State.
Ten million dollars could
have helped some children,
paid a few teachers, built a few
schools, built a few hospitals,
or built a few highways.
And, it just doesn’t make
sense that they didn’t care
enough about you and this
State to make use of this
money.
The General Assembly
muffed a golden opportunity
to push Georgia forward.
Instead, they decided to
hold Georgia back.
Even though we have been
delayed, these things are going
to be implemented — they
must be — and I will continue
to work forthem.
I have not turned from my
duty as I believe it to be, and I
will continue to use all my
efforts, resources and whatever
is available to me to see that we
continue to promote our State
and to give her citizens every
opportunity for progress.
I shall need your help and
your support.
Georgia needs your help and
your support.

Corrections, the governor said.
The Division of Children and

Senate Approves
Talmadge's Bill
To Aid Veterans
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee’ subcommittee on
veterans’ affairs, has succeed
ed in exempting veterans’ med
ical services and hospital pro
grams for federal spending
cuts and limitations.
He amended a supplemental
appropriations bill which would
have exempted only veterans’
pensions, compensation and in
surance programs, and did not
include the extensive medical
and hospital programs.
Also exempted were the es
sential services directly requir
ed for the administration of all
veterans’ programs for fiscal
1970. The Talmadge amend
ment won unanimous Senate
approval.
“There has been no ceiling
on death or injury in Vietnam,”
Sen. Talmadge said, “and I
don’t believe the people of this
nation want the Congress to
place a ceiling on the compas
sion our country has for its vet
erans, and the agency which
must look after them.” He add
ed:
“Our brave young veterans
are entitled to the full range of
benefits already granted by
Congress, and they must re
ceive proper service for their
future needs. I for one intend
to see that the nation’s com
mitment to its veterans is ful
filled to the fullest extent pos
sible.”
Rules Cited For
Go-Carts, Bikes
At State Parks
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Dis
turbing noises caused by small
motorized vehicles, such as
motor bikes, minibikes, go
carts, motor scooters, motor
cycles and the like, have
brought numerous complaints
from guests at Georgia state
parks.
And State Parks Director
John L. Gordon has taken steps
to correct the situation. He has
instructed his park superinten
dents to enforce rules and regu
lations laid down by the parks
department regarding these
small motorized vehicles.
For example, they shall be
permitted only on state park
roadways, parking lots and bike
trails specifically designated
for vehicular use. In addition—
and perhaps this is the most
important aspect in meeting the
problem — small motorized ve
hicles shall not be permitted
between the hours of 10 p.m.
and 8 a.m. to be operated in the
park areas.
Gordon pointed out that un
der Georgia law these small
motorized vehicles are required
to be registered, safety-inspect
ed annually, and equipped with
headlights, stop lights and turn
signals, and the operator, who
must be 16 years old, must have
a state driver’s license.

Patrol To Stage
Massive Safety
Drive July 4th
ATLANTA, (GPS)—A mas
sive traffic enforcement oper
ation—planned as the “tough
est, most concerted” safety
campaign in Georgia’s history
—will be carried out during the
long Fourth of July holiday
week-end.
In announcing plans to cope
with the heavy traffic on Geor
gia’s highways' over this sum
mer’s initial action-packed holi
day week-end, Col. R. H. Bur
son, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety,
warned motorists that it will be
a “no-holds-barred” crackdown
on law violators. State patrol
men have orders to “get tough”
when necessary.
The prolonged holiday period
officially begins at 6 p.m.
Thursday, July 3, and continues
through midnight Sunday, July
6—a total of 78 hours.
While the patrol is aiming
for a “deathless” holiday span,
indications are that despite all
efforts tragedy will strike. For
example, based on past holiday
experience and present trends,
the patrol predicts that at least'
24 persons will be killed and
360 others injured in 1,128 ac
cidents during the 78-h ou r
period.
(Last year during a 102-hour
July 4th holiday period, 25 per
sons lost their lives and 345
others were injured in 806
wrecks.)
Maj. Porter Weaver, the pa
trol’s commanding officer who
is the chief strategist in map
ping the enforcement drive, said
troopers from all patrol posts
in the state-wide system, as
well as Atlanta headquarters
personnel and GBI agents, will
be on active duty throughout
the campaign. All week-end
passes have been cancelled for
the period.
In addition, agents from oth
er state enforcement agencies
will be utilized as “spotters,”
both from the ground and in
aircrafts. When they observe
an obvious traffic violation,
these “spotters” immediately
relay the information via radio
to uniformed patrolmen who go
into action in running down the
suspected violators, Maj. Weav
er explained.
“We will use more people,
more patrol cars and more
speed-timer devices, including
40 recently-acquired Vas ca r
units and radar machines, in
our effort to maintain safety
on the roads and save lives,” he
said.
“We’ll concentrate on the
more heavily traveled interstate
and main U. S. highways, with
road checks at odd hours and
at unannounced places on an
around-the-clock basis. Other
of our troopers, particularly
those comprising our tactical
squad, will be anywhere and
everywhere we think they can
do the most good in holding
down accidents.”
Col. Burson, Lt. Col. L. G,
Bell, deputy safety director, and
Maj. Weaver will be traveling
over the state in directing
strategic maneuvers.
In announcing plans for the
gigantic enforcement operation,
Col. Burson called on all driv
ers, local and county law en
forcement officers, the press,
radio and television stations
and various safety organiza
tions for their full cooperation
in helping to make it a success.
