Politics oli■ Paradi
/m\
The summer doldrums has
descended on the Capitol since
the few days of excitement of
the special session of the Gen
eral Assembly, and very few
folks are talking politics. In
fact, a lot of people are on va
cation, and those who haven't
gone, yet, are thinking about it.
So, political news of any conse
quence is scarce.
Some, though, are discussing
the laZO governor's race, partic
ularly so now in view of the fact
that Governor Maddox told the
GMA convention that his wife
would run if the legislature
didn't pass his tax program next
January. However, most politi
cal experts don't think that Vir
ginia Maddox will run, no mat
ter what the legislature does or
does not do.
These same experts, though,
are seriously trying to figure out
what Maddox will do next, politi
cally. They see only two choices
open to him if he wants to re
main active in politics. One —
and hold on to your hat — is to
run for Mayor of Atlanta in this
Fall's election and move across
the street to City Hall next Jan
uary.
You will remember that Gov.
Maddox made two races for
Mayor, and in the last one ac
tually received more white votes
than Ivan Allen. It is then per
haps logical that he would feel
that he would have a much bet
ter chance to win now, with the
prestige and political knowledge
of three years in the governor's
office to bolster his standing.
Also, the race for Mayor of
Atlanta is in a highly confused
state. As things stand at present,
both white and black vote will
be split helter skelter. Someone,
like Maddox, with a hard core of
conservative votes, just might
take the office.
The second choice for Maddox,
according to th" experts, is to
run for Lieut.-Governor next
year. There’s nothing in the law
to prevent him doing so, and he
would stand a good chance to be
in a runover with some liberal
candidate. Remember, Maddox
made a race for this office in
1962 and went into a runover
with Peter Zack Geer.
Sorry "Jackass"

Mail "Unsigned"
If there is anything "detest
able” to the Editor of The Pem
broke Jou rn a 1. is for some
"jackass" to send us some mail,
and has not got the guts to
sign his name to it. We throw
this trash in the waste basket
where it should go.
We welcome letters of criti
cism if the party has got the
backbone to sign his letters, but
when he is too little, and
ashamed to stand up and back
whatever he is writing about,
jt is not worthy of considera
tion.
* We do not intend to let some
little, sorry person worry us one
bit when he writes us a letter,
giving us advice about how we
bun our paper and what we
have to say. We do want this
“thing" to know that the paper
Is ours, no one has anything to
So with what appears in it, ex
cept Frank 0. Miller. Editor,

this “bird" does not like the
way we run our paper, then he
has the right to stop receiving
it, and if he will just ask that
his paper be stopped, (if he
gets one), we will gladly take
his name off. If he continues to
take the paper, and disagrees
with some of the things we do
or do not do, then he can just
sit and whine, like the little
slog barking at the moon.

If he won, Lester would still
be in a mighty influential posi

for re-election to the governor's
chair in 1974, or seek Russell’s
Senate seat in 1972.
All in ad, they tell us, don't
count Lester Maddox out of the
poutical picture for the rest of
his life. He has had a good taste
of the fruits of high office, and
every man enjoys power and
prestige, particularly one who
has held a top office. The Gov
ernor is no exception, no mat
ter how honest he is or how
much he really wants to serve
the people.
We saw Horace Hixon, former
Assistant Slate Treasurer, at the
Capitol last Friday and he's
looking fine. Horace retired 6
years ago, and hasn’t gone to
work anywhere else, as so many
retirees do. Just resting, doing a
little yard work, etc. is about
the limit of his activities now,
he says.
Members of the General As
sembly don’t seem very worried
about the threat made by the
President of the Georgia Educa
tion Assn, that the GEA will
“point out” to homefolks the
"record” of legislators who
haven’t favored new taxes. One
Representative told us that his
folks already knew how he voted
(he pasted it on the courthouse
bulletin board) and they ap’
proved.
However, we would think that
the GEA will think twice before
taking any punitive action. They
have too much to lose. As a Sen
ator said, they had better go
back to teaching school and
leave lawmaking to duly elected
lawmakers.

Well, Director Bill Burson says
that this is a requirement of the
federal government, and that
the money to pay them comes
from grants to counties which
the counties turned back to the
State. He says, also, that these
workers are doing a real good
job.

For Best Ad

Advertising of The Citizens and

Charge Card, currently
appearing in Georgia

an engraved plaque for ‘‘best

I HERE IS FAR TOO much criticism ot the United States
military establishment that not only does a grave disservice to
the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces but which
also undermines the strength and security of our nation.
It has become also a popular pastime in many circles to heap
scorn and ridicule upon the military, and some of its leaders
are cast in the role of villains and unfairly denounced as war
mongers and worse. The United States has even been wrongly
accused of misusing its military power and of provoking dissension
abroad
Too many people have lost sight of the fact that this is the
military and defense establishment that has seen this nation suc
cessfully through two World Wars and Korea, and which stands
today as a safeguard for the American people and the rest of the
Free World against aggression
Yet, there are those who think we ought to abandon our
military defense and even unilaterally disarm.
* ♦ *
LIKE II OR NOT, we still live in a very dangerous world.
The security and freedom of the United States and that of the
Free World is far from being totally safe from aggression.
Anyone who doubts this and who believes the United States
ought to disarnf at this time has already forgotten the recent
lessons of Hungary. Czechoslovakia and the countries of Eastern
Europe as well as the constant thieat of the so-called "wars ol
liberation" in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world
The tragedy ot Budapest and the invasion only last year of
Czechoslovakia ought to make it clear to everyone that the Com
munists are still sworn to govern as much of the world as possible,
by whatever means at their disposal Their tactics may change
from time to .time but their objectives are the same
NATIONAL SECURI I \ is a responsibility that tails on every
American citizen, and his duty becomes doubts important in
periods of great international strife.
Under present conditions, the idea of unilateral disarmament
is wishful thinking. At a time like this, it would be foolhardy and
perilous indeed toi the United Stales lo pm down its arms and
stand naked before the military might of other nations, both

GEORGIA
Hamilton. Ga. (PH X ) It's
a modern day, Iwenlieth
Centur .pprecialhm of the
past tlrat is causing the citizens
of Hamilton to turn back the
hands of the dock to the times
of yesteryear.
Known as Hamilton on the
Square, this ha mI e t
development is recreating the
area that was the hub of
activity of the town in the early
’9oo's. More than a dozen
buildings are involved in the
project, including an old
general store, an apothecary. an
ice cream parlor, a carriage shop
and a music museum.
While some of the buildings
in Hamilton are merely being
restored to their original design
of some GO years ago. others are
being moved to the site from
distant locations.
Hamilton on the Square is
being built around the four
sides of the little town's
business district, which is
already in t he shape of a square.
It is being recreated by skilled
craftsmen in accordance with
an architect's conception of the
original square.
You will find the leisurely
pace of the square perfect
incentive to browse among the
antique shops, sample bits of
tasty old fashioned stick candy
and pursue the village
newspaper, which incidentally,
is printed in the style of the era.
Visitors are invited to watch
the village blacksmith at work
and to view the horse-drawn
buggies in the local carriage
shop.
In addition to the

As you ramble down the
aisles of the Hamilton Square
General Store Museum, you
seem a million miles from
supermarkets and frozen foods.
The store has styles and
merchandise displayed in a
fascinating and authentic
atmosphere. It has coffee mills
that really grind, tobacco leaves
hanging from the rafters, alfalfa
hay; kerosene pumps in
operation; leather goods and
fabrics.
The store has five
depart ments- -dry goods,

hardware department and

for sale.
On the sidewalk just
outside, there is a peanut

Maddox Says N. Y.
Vote Shows Gain
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Gov.
Lester G. Maddox views the
results of the New York City
mayoral primary as an indica
tion that “conservatism will be
reborn in this country.”
In the mayoral primary,
which echoed a trend set in
Los Angeles and Minneapolis,
conservatives wrested the Re
publican nomination from May
or John V. Lindsay and wreck
ed former Democratic Mayor
Robert F. Wagner’s comeback.
Gov. Maddox said there will
be a “groundswell in this coun
try” against liberalism because
people all over the country
want the right to be safe in
their own homes and protect
their property.
Th governor said he didn’t
think law and order will be a
major issue in the forthcoming
mayor’s race in Atlanta because
“we pretty well have law and
order in Atlanta.”
The defeat of Mayor Lindsay
by state Sen. John Marchi for
the GOP mayoral nomination
and the upset victory by Comp
troller Mario A. Procaccino in
the Democratic primary poses
problems for national political
leaders, according to close ob
servers.
COST AND AID TO POOR
A study group of the Bureau
of the Budget has estimated ar
adequate diet for the poor would
require a tripling of Federal
spending. Current Government
programs total about $1.5 bil
lion a year, which includes
$340 million spent on food
stamps.
