Barbecue Dinner
Sunday most of the sons and
daughters were home for the
family get together at Dashers
Place which featured a delici
ous barbecue dinner with all
the trimmings.
All five sons of the Lewis’
were present with their wives
and children, four of the seven
daughters were there with their
husbands and children.
Editor and Mrs. Miller had
been invited and we attended.
We have been going to the vari
ous get togethers of the Lewis
family for a long time and al
ways enjoy being with them.
They were there Sunday
from as far away as Wisconsin,
and everyone seemed to be en
joying themselves. We think
this is the proper way for fami
lies to do, come back home at
least once each year and see
and know the rest of the family
better ag all of us are traveling
our one way road to eternity.
So many families never get to
gether and if they were to
meet accidentally would not
know some of their own family.

Traffic Death
Rate Down For
.
(g
First 6 Months
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Al
though Georgia’s traffic death
toll during the first six months
of 1969 was slightly higher
than a year ago, the state’s
traffic death rate went down
from 6.2 to 5.8. (The national
traffic death rate is based on
the number of persons killed to
each 100-million miles travel
ed.)
This was revealed in a State
Patrol statistical report releas
ed by Col. R. H. Burson, direc
tor of the Georgia Department
of Public Safety,
During the first half of this
year, a total of 2,183,857 motor
vehicles were registered in
Georgia, an increase of 168,031
over last year. These cars and
trucks traveled a total 14,175,-
347,290 miles, an increase of
nearly 1.1-billion miles.
“Naturally, we are pleased
that Georgia’s traffic death
rate continues on the down
swing even in face of this ever
increasing number of miles
traveled, and we think it is a
tribute to the hard-working
men of our patrol who are as
signed to police the largest ‘
state east of the Mississippi
River,” Col. Burson said.
“But,” he added, “we are not
satisfied, and we won’t be sat
isfied, until we can reduce both
the death toll and the death rate
in Georgia. This can be done
only with more troopers —
enough to adequately patrol the
90,000 miles of roads in the
state.” .
On the death toll side of the
ledger during the 6-month peri
od, a total of 817 traffic fatali
ties were reported, an increase
of six, or one per cent.

The Bryan Ccunty Jaycees

thank you for giving us the
opportunity to celebrate your
76th birthday. You are the
only “Honorary Member” of
the Bryan County Jaycees. It
was indeed an honor and
privilege to help. You are an
asset to our city and county.
A man everyone should be
proud of for what you have
done in the past and plan for

John T. And
Sallie Smith
Family Reunion
Plans are again being made
for a big family reunion of the
John T. and Sallie Smith rela
tives and friends at Dashers on
Sunday, August 3, and a large
attendance is expected.
. Folks are there from all over
Florida, South Carolina and
Georgia, and such another din
ner you have never seen will
be served. Ye Editor and Mrs.
Miller have been attending
these affairs for several years
as “invited guests” and we
always look forward to again
attending one of these dinners.
We like the idea of families
getting together at least once
each year, learning the good
news about their relatives and
of course at times there is some
unpleasant news to hear, but in
that way they keep in touch
with each other and know just
how they are getting along.
It would be a fine thing for
more families to do the same
thing.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Quattle
baum had as visitors last week
and over the week-end their
children. Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Parrish and family from Au
gusta, Ga., Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Quattlebaum and children from
Savannah and Mr. and Mrs.
Ward Tucker and children from
Biloxi, Mississippi.
Mr. Joe Lee and two daugh
ters, Mrs. Eugene Burnsed and
Mrs. Bobby Sikes, and their
children Sandra and Debra
Sikes, Eugene Jr. and Lora Ann
Burnsed left Friday -evening to
go to Six Flags Over Georgia
and returned Saturday night.
All report having a good time.

TWO BULLETINS CITE
EXTERNAL PESTS
CONTROL
External parasites on beef
cattle and hogs cost Georgia
producers thousands of dollars
every year, These pests irritate
animals, ruin hides, and reduce
weight gains,
What to do about these pests
is outlined in two new publica
tions from the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service.
The two publications are en
titled “External Parasites and
Cattle Grubs on Beef Cattle”
and “External Parasites of
Hogs.”
Both publications offer de
tailed descriptions of the vari
ous pests which attack beef cat
tle and hogs. In addition, rec
ommended control measures are
presented in chart form for
easy use,
Maxcy P. Nolan Jr., Exten
sion entomologist, authored
both publications. He points out
that external parasites cause
animals a great deal of pain
and misery, making them weak,
unthrifty and less profitable.
Bryan County beef cattle and
swine producers may obtain
copies of these and other bul
letins at the county Extension
Service offices. The office is
located in the new annex built
onto the county court house.

BILL BURSON |
.
Burson First
To Speak In
.
All Counties
ATLANTA (PRN) — Bill
Burson has become the first
State Welfare Director in
Georgia history to speak on
the programs and problems of
welfare in all of the State’s '
159 counties.
As part of the Community
Development Program
undertaken by the |
Department of Family and
Children Services to interpret
welfare policies and plans to
the general public, Burson set
a personal goal of speaking in
2!l counties upon assuming his
duties on July 1, 1967. In
;realizat&on of it he has
' delivered 348 speeches to
civic, women’s, church,
school, college and
governmental groups around .
the State.
He began his speaking
effort with an address to the
Marietta Rotary Club on .
August 25, 1967, and
concluded it with a
presentation before a Public
Meeting of the Webster
County Board of Family and
Children Services in Preston
on July 18, 1969.
In addition to Burson’s
speeches, Community
Development Representatives
of the Department have shown
slide programs on welfare
subjects to hundreds of other
gatherings and organizations.
Georgia is one of two
States in the nation with
Community Development
Programs in the State Welfare
Department. The other is
North Carolina.
“Our effort to get the facts
abhout welfare to the
tax-paying public is paying big
dividends in greater public
understanding of the
magnitude of the need and the
inadequacy of the resources
for meeting it,” Burson said. |
“My colleagues and I shall
continue in every forum open
to us to inform the citizens of |
Georgia about what is being
done and what remains to be |
done in the field of welfare in
our State.” ;

Maddox, Lance Alworth,
former Arkansas All-American
and the AFL’s leading pass
receiver for the past six years,

Maddox Strips Up
/
Hornet’s Nest On
Erucation Front
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Gov.
Lester G. Maddox has stirred
up a hornet’s nest in the field
of education.
The fiery governor, address
ing a large gathering at States
boro the other evening, outlined
proposals for defiance of fed
eral school desegregation
guidelines, including one to con
vert Sunday school rooms into
private schools.
“Freedom costs,” Maddox
told the overflow audience at
the Statesboro High School
gymnasium, He was invited to
address the group on school
guidelines by a local citizens’
committee called ‘“Citizens for
Better Government.”
Bulloch County’s school board
earlier during that same day
rejected a school desegregation
proposal by the U. S. Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare which would have done
away with the freedom of choice
plan,
Gov. Maddox said a massive
school boycott by white stu
dents should be imposed as a
protest of HEW desegregation
guidelines. ;
He also called on voters “to
defeat every bond issue for
water, sewerage, streets and
schools until local and state of
ficials join the fight to save
America.”
“I had rather spend the rest
of my life in jail than not fight
for you and your children,” he
declared.
Gov. Maddox received three
standing ovations from the
cheering crowd and was inter
rupted more than a dozen times
by thundering applause.
The governor promised again
to convene a special session of
the Georgia General Assembly
to appropriate state funds to
replace any federal funds Geor
gia school systems might lose
in defying HEW guidelines.
“School desegregation is part
of the Communist plan to
overthrow this country,” he
charged. “They are destroying
America through sex education
and not letting teachers pray
and read the Bible. Some teach
ers are being stabbed in their
classrooms. Has it happened
here? It has happened in At
lanta.”
A citizens delegation from
nearby Chatham County (Sa
vannah) presented the gover
nor with a petition with 1,000
signatures supporting his posi
tion on school desegregation.
Later, on a stopover in Chat
tanooga, Tenn., during a North
Georgia tour, Gov. Maddox said
Georgia would gladly give up
$52-million in federal school
funds in return for the right to
use a freedom-of-choice plan in
its schools.
“If all we've got to do is lose
$52-million to restore freedom
of choice in education, then it’ll
be the best deal Georgia’s got
ten since it bought the island
from the Indians,” the gover
nor said.
“About $35-million of it goes
to educational TV sets, extra
books and what-not . . . to prove
that the enrichment program
works,” he added. “Only about
sl7-million is utilized to bene
fit the students.”
