ATLANTA (PRN) - 'rhe
Tax Revision Study
Commission that completed
its work during the Fall of
1968 —a study that cost
Georgia taxpayers some
$150,000.00 — developed
from resolutions passed by the
General Assembly. The final
report and recommendations
made by
Dr. Papke,
at the re
quest of the
Executive
Committee
of Tax
Revision
Commis
sion, did,
for the first
time in
Georgia, offer TRUE TAX
REVISION. It was scrapped
and thrown in the waste can
by the very people who called
for the study — along with
help coming from the Maddox
haters and others looking to
1970 politics.
Statements now being
made that the tax revision
proposals did not call for
revision, but called only for
tax increases are untrue, and
those reponsible for such
statements know them to be
untrue — they know also that
in making such statements
they are not being honest with
themselves or the citizens of
. Georgia.
Information available to me
indicates that the newly
announced Tax Revision
Study Committee was planned
prior to the recent Special
Session of the General
Assembly, and I believe and
hope it was done without the
knowledge l of those who now
publicly sponsor it. The plans
were to defeat the Maddox
Administration's proposals,
then call for the new tax study
and either through another
Special Session during 1969 or
during the 1970 regular
session of the General
Assembly seek to implement
their proposals. The motives
behind these well-planned
moves are to discredit the
Maddox Administration and
for others to play their own
politics for 1970; with the
citizens of Georgia, education
and other needs, the cities and
counties and those who pay ad
valorem taxes being the
victims, while they use
innocent legislators and other
leaders to front for their own
political benefit.

Youth $1.50
DINNER
— but is not the present
holder of that office— also
served on the original Tax
Revision Study Commission.
He pushed strongly for tax
revision and increased taxes,
and he told the Governor and
other Executive Committee
members that his proposal
would easily produce
$275,000,000 to
$300,000,000 finally, but
agreed, at the insistence of the
Governor, to reduce proposals
of $215,000,000.
Later, when the proposed
amount of increase was made
public and after he had been
“called in”, he denied ever
having heard of the figure of
$215,000,000 until he had
heard it broadcast. Still later
he told the Governor (after
the regular 1969 session of the
General Assembly), “We got
our tax measures (corporate
income increase) through, and
you couldn’t get yours
through; but we’ll be coming
back and get the other tax
measures through in our own
way.”
Regardless of who may say
so — and for whatever reasons
— statements now being made
that recommendations will be
forthcoming for tax revision
without tax increases are
simply untrue, and public
officials owe more to the
citizens of this great State
than to try and mislead them
in this manner.
Further, those claiming
that there will be no tax
increases are being dishonest
with the citizens of Georgia,
for these same public officials
have known and admitted that
the tax increases would be
forthcoming. The greatest
disappointment coming to me,
as Governor of Georgia, has
been the refusal of some
public officials to be honest
with the people -by saying
publicly what they say behind
closed doors.
It is my sincere hope that
the newly formed committee
will come up with proposals
that can be implemented
towards this goal I pledge any
assistance that 1 can offer if
called upon to do so. But
more than new studies — new
revenue — tax revision or
increased taxes. I submit that
honesty among public officials
should come first. If the
politicians really want tax
revision and progress for this
State - then let them retrieve
from the wastebasket the
“Program for Progress” that 1
requested of them in January,
1969 — that they later
discarded.

Salt water sailors take to the surf at Georgia s Jekyll Island
(PRN)
TOUR
GEORGIA
ATLANTA (PRN)
Summer is great on Jekyll
Island!
This family resort area
always has an ocean breeze to
keep the temperatures in the
“comfortable range”. The
range of family fun activities is
almost unlimited.
The summer recreation
program for youngsters is in
full swing. College students,
under the supervision of the
Jekyll Island Promotional
Association, conduct the
program five days a week from
9:00 am until 3:00 pm The
cost is SI.OO per youngster per
day, plus 75-cents for lunch.
The program is open to young
people from 6 to 18 years of
age and includes archery,
tennis, crafts, swimming and
diving.
And, of course, there is
always something to keep
Mom and Dad entertained on
Jekyll Island, too. Golfers love
the challenging courses on the
island. Not only are the
courses a test of the duffers'
abilities, but offers beautiful
island scenery. One course
overlooks the surf. There is
also a driving range and a new
18-hole miniature golf course
for those looking for a
maximum of fun and a
minimum of walking.
Sun worshippers will find
Jekyll’s beaches an ideal spot
for sunning and the surf is
great for swimming. The
Jekyll Island beach is the place
to see and be seen this
summer. The scenery on the
beach is spectacular.
The fascinating background
story of Jekyll, chosen by
millionaires for their own rest
spot, remains and recently
became more available for
vacationers.
A tour of the historic
landmarks of Jekyll Island
started early this spring and is
here to stay.
Included are five highlights
of the Old Jekyll Club days (in
the lake 19th Century and
until beginning of World War
II). Visitors see Mistletoe
Cottage, temporary home of
the island's museum while its
permanent abode, the
Rockefeller Cottage, is being
restored. They visit Faith
Chapel, the Jekyll Club House
(now used as a hotel), the
Shrady-James Cottage. At the
Crane Cottage they are served
tea.
The tour, taken at a
leisurely pace, costs SI.OO.
'Pickets are available at motels.
For an enjoyable weekend
or extended vacation. The
Tourist Division of the
Department of Industry and
Trade suggests Jekyll Island.
In Memoriam
In loving memory of
LEROY SIU MAN
who passed away one year ago,
July 2, 1968.
W hen the evening sun is set
ting, and we are all alone, in
our hearts comes a longing, if
only you could come home.
We wonder why you had to
go and leave us to weep, for
many silent tears we shed while
others are asleep.
His voice we loved is still.
His place is vacant in our
home, which can never be fill-'
ed. time cannot dim or help ease
the pain, for the grief is in our
hearts forever. The hours go
slowly, the nights are lonely,
there's not a night or a day
that we do not think of you.
They say that time heals all
sorrow and helps us to forget,
but so far, only proves how
much we miss you, no one will
ever know how bad it was to
give you up.
Sadly missed by wife, chil
dren and grandchildren.

The handsome and much
needed annex to the east of the
Bryan County Court House is
about complete and some of
those that will be housed in
this building have begun to
move in. The ASC Office has
already moved in, vacating the
little brick building near the
post office. The County Agents
offices have been moved in to
the new addition, and they will
have larger and better quar
ters to carry on their work. The
Welfare Department will move
in soon and there will be a re
shuffling of some of the offices
in the main building, the room
that has been Mrs. A 1 e it h a
Brewtons headquarters will be
added to the offices of the
County School Superintendent,
and take care of his needs for
additional space. Mrs. Brewtons
Welfare Offices will be in the
new building.
While the new part was be
ing added, the Health Depart
ment came in for some repairs
and improvements. The County
Commissioners will have their
offices on the bottom floor at
the rear of the Court House.
This work is rapidly coming
to a completion, and we are sure
that the people that work in
the various offices as well as
the public that have occasion
to transact business in the vari-l
ous offices will be pleased with'
the new set up.
Jones Gives Up
Directorship Os
State Crime Lab #
ATLANTA, (GPS) — After
22 years at the same job, Or.
' Herman I). Jones has voluntari
' ly stepped down as director of|
• the State Crime Laboratory. He
has turned the administrative
duties over to Dr. Larry B.
Howard, a graduate of the Uni-
' versity of .Minnesota School of
Medicine, who has been with
the lab for 12 years as assist-
1 ant director.
But Dr. Jones, now 71, isn’t
1 retiring— at least not for the
present. He is remaining as an
associate to devote his time to
1 the administration of Georgia's
’ Implied Consent Law, und e r
' which the state lab is respon
' sible. He also will continue to
work in the medical-legal phase
' of the lab's operation.
A native of Dothan, Ala., Dr.
Jones holds degrees from Au
burn,. Vanderbilt and Columbia
Universities. Throughout his
tenure as lab director, he has
been an advocate of a “common
sense” approach to criminal in
vestigations, and as a result
Georgia’s state crime lab has
received national recognition.
He is very proud of this.
In fact, Dr. Jones describes
Georgia’s as the best-equipped
state crime lab in the country
(second only to tbe FBI). “We
do everything,” he said.
The State Crime Laboratory,
located at Patrol headquarters
in Atlanta with a branch in Sa
vannah, is a unit of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety, of
which Col R. H, Burson is di
rector.

Governor Talks
On Pollution Os
Water And Minds
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox said that
cleaning up the nation's water
ways would do little good if the
government becomes “infected
by the microbes of communism
or the bacteria of socialism.”
Addressing a joint meeting
of the Chattahoochee River
Basin Development Commission
and the Georgia Commission
for the Development of the
Chattahoochee River Basin, the
governor said that as efforts
are made to purify America's
water resources, “we must
never forget about a source of
even greater pollution in Amer
ican life.”

Gov. Maddox told the gather
ing at Pine Mountain that "this
is the pollution of our Amer
ican heritage . . . the pollution
of the thinking of many of our
citizens . . . the pollution of the
goals and ideals” which have
made this nation a great and
respected world power.
“What if we do fully develop
the great potential of our water
resources and do an excellent
job in water pollution control,
and we do not, at the same
time, prevent the pollution of
the minds of America’s young
people?”
The governor said America’s
youth was being contaminated
by "bums, beatniks, pinkos and
parasites,” a situation which
must be corrected, he said, be
fore “this land of the free and
home of the brave becomes the
land of the slave and the home
of the coward.”
