Payments made under the
wheat program in Georgia are
normally made in June. Coun

cotton payments the latter part

feed grain program will begin
in September. The Payment

the explanatory vouchers that
are part of other business

said.
The statements are prepared
in computer centers and sent
back to County ASCS offices
which then deliver them to the
farmers. “If this important

“It is possible that a produc

“and he certainly should keep
them all as an important part
of his operating records. If
there are any questions about
this, he can contact his Coun

Former Gov. Carl Sanders
Will Head Georgia Alumni
ATHENS, Ga. (PRN) -
Former Gov. Carl E. Sanders,
one of Georgia’s best-known
political and educational
figures, has been elected
president of the University of
Georgia Alumni Society.
Upon assuming the top
alumni office, Sanders, 44,
said, “The University gave me
my big break in life. It
supplied me with knowledge
and encouragement to push
ahead early in this complex
life. 1 have not forgotten
that.”
In 1962, the Augusta native
was elected governor. At age
37 he was one of the youngest
Georgians to become the
state’s chief executive. Prior to
that, he had served eight years
in the Georgia House and
Senate.
“I couldn’t afford a college
education when I finished high
school in 1942,” said Sanders,
an All-State football player at
Richmond Academy in
Augusta, “but 1 was fortunate
Jekyll Island Will Host
Georgia Innkeepers Aug. 3
ATLANTA (PRN) -
Georgia innkeepers and their
families will gather on Jekyll
Island August 3-5, for the
34th annual meeting of the
Georgia Hotel-Motel
Association.
State officials and lodging
industry notables will discuss
several topics of current
interest to hotel and
motelmen. Among them will
be J.S. “Jake” Fassett,
director of membership
services for the American
Hotel & Motel Association.
A man who has been called
“the Heloise of the lodging
industry,” Mr. Fassett is the
“answer man” for the nation’s
innkeepers. Each year, he
helps them solve an average of
some 18,000 problems,
ranging all the way from how
to get rid of detergent foam in
a circulating water fountain to
finding the cause of premature
sheet failure.
Mr. Fassett will lead a panel
discussion on “Operation
Breakthrough” at the Jekyll
Island meeting, a frank report
on one of the most extensive
and “soul searching” surveys
ever conducted on the lodging
industry. Georgia innkeepers
attending will take a hard and
serious look at the next 10
years, and what the traveling
public will want in
accommodations by 1980.
Panelists will include Ray
Conboy of the Manger Hotel
in Savannah; George Moore,
Savannah Inn & Country Club;
Robert Phillips, Homes
Friendship Inns of Atlanta;
Alan Terrill, Atlanta Marriott;
and Carl Vann, Martinique
Rep. Jones Says Code
Needs Strong “Teeth”
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
chairman of a recently-created
House Committee to draft a
new government Code of
Ethics has called for a
standard of conduct for state
officials and employees “with
strong enforcement teeth.”
Rep. Charles M. Jones of
Hinesville said “Georgia needs
a broad code that will cover
conflict of interest,
wrongdoing of any type or
unethical conduct of any
form.”
Jones, a possible candidate
for lieutenant governor next
year, stressed that “the new
Code should apply to all
branches of the state
government- legislative judicial
and executive.”
The present Code of Ethics,
passed by the Senate in 1967
and House in 1968, “contains
some lofty principles in pretty
words, but not one single
provision for enforcement,”
Jones said.
“In fact, the Code isn’t
even distributed generally to
state employees. It seems to
me the Code is serving little
useful purpose.”
The Democratic House
Whip said he believes a large
majority of Georgia legislators
“are deeply concerned about
the problem of possible
conflict of interest in state
government. The state faces
too many problems that need
solving to get sidetracked by
scandals involving dishonesty
by officials or employees of
the government.”
to be able to attend the
University on a football
scholarship.”
Sanders added, “Since then
I’ve never lost sight of the
value of quality education for
everyone. It was no accident
that during my four years as
governor a record amount of
money was appropriated for
educational improvement. To
me. education isn’t something
you play around with, but a
serious value to be improved.”
After serving as a teen-aged
bomber pilot in World War II
and subsequently being
graduated from the University
with a law degree in 1948,
Sanders established his own
law firm in Augusta. In 1954
he entered politics by winning
a seat in the Georgia House.
He is married to the former
Betty Bird Foy of Statesboro,
who was graduated from the
University with a degree in art.
They have two children, Betty
Foy, 17, and Carl, Jr., 15.

ATLANTA (PRN) - There
are hardy souls among Georgia
anglers who doggedly keep at
their angling despite hot
weather, in hopes of catching
fish all summer long.
And some of them do! But
those who catch fish
consistently are those who
know the hot weather
hangouts of fish, through
experience, or who have some
scientific help in coming up
with the answers. By scientific
help, I mean the use of fish
locators and depth
thermometers. These
instruments cut down the
chances of catching fish
greatly, but the final answer,
of course, is in actually
catching fish.
Those who actually succeed
in hot weather fishing are
probably very small in
number, compared to the total
number of persons fishing.
Some estimates place the
figure as low as 10 per cent or
less of the fishermen being
consistant in their catches.
Yet this is the time of year
that nearly anyone can catch
an abundance of fish if they’re
willing to take a short trip,
and willing to give coastal
Georgia’s saltwater fishing a
try.
Just the other day, for
example, my boss Jim
Morrison, who is coordinator
of Information and Education
for the State Game and Fish
Commission, hauled in a
dandy 50-pound tarpon.
True enough, it takes
perseverance to catch tarpon,
but if you like to catch a lot
Ga. Youth Group
Hears Governor
Talk of Future
ATLANTA, (GPS) — De
velopment centers for juvenile
offenders are going to be scat
tered in every block in this na
tion “if we do not return to the
faith of our fathers, restore
local control of our schools, law
enforcement agencies and local
governments, and return to
American constitutional govern
ment,” declared Gov. Lester G.
Maddox.
“And if we do build these
centers in every block, in every
community in America, we still
will leave our problems unsolv
ed if we fail to inculcate in the
lives of countless Americans the
moral, spiritual and patriotic
principles necessary for the
preservation of our free so
ciety.”
The governor’s remarks came
in a speech to the Georgia
Youth Council’s annual confer
ence at the Rock Eagle 4-H
Center near Eatonton. He had
been talking about the gains
made during his administration
and noted that during the past
36 months new regional youth
development centers for youth
ful offenders have been estab
lished at six locations in Geor
gia.
Maddox said “the enemies of
God and America are seeking to
exploit every problem in our
society to bring our nation to
its knees.” He went on to say
that “the young people of our
land are the target of that evil
sch e m e,” and “Communist
manipulated disorder has
brought revolution and chaos to
many of our educational cen
ters.” He added:
“While there may be some
who would teach that young
people should depend upon the
federal government, some gov
ernor, some president, some
political party or material
values, the great need of today
is for young people to put their
faith in God, personal initiative
and spiritually fortified self
reliance. This is the true path
of a rewarding life.”
Gov. Maddox said that “some
people are now calling for a
halt to all systems of recogniz
ing and encouraging good per
formance from students, but
such a philosophy must not be
allowed to rule.” He continued:
“We see a number of young
people on our college campuses
today who are demanding that
grading systems be abolished,
that entrance requirements be
dropped, that class attendance
be voluntary and so forth. In
other words, they want all com

of fish, you ought to try for
Spanish mackerel. On light
tackle, a couple of pounds of
mackerel can give you the
kind of sport you’re after. I
got into some mackerel the
other day while looking for
bluefish, trolling inshore on
light tackle with plugs. On
four pound test line, a
mackerel can give you
something to think about for
awhile.
In addition, I pulled in a
bluefish that weighed around
2'^ pounds. This rascal had my
wrist pretty tired before he
gave up and came in.
Reports from the coast
lately prove that this is a good
time to try the brine. All up
and down the coast, come
tales of catches of Spanish and
king mackerel, cobia, dolphin,
black fish, trout, bass, tarpon,
and you name it.
Not everyone likes
saltwater fishing, that’s true.
But if you haven’t tried it,
don’t knock it.
If you have given it a whirl,
and still prefer freshwater,
then perhaps this is a good
time to try Georgia’s
mountain streams for trout.
Here’s a cooler climate, plus
some cool water to wade in, to
help beat the heat and still
provide some good fishing.
Don’t know if you’ve
thought of it this way before,
but Georgia has a mighty fine
variety of fishing available. It’s
difficult to think of anywhere
else that can produce such a
winning combination, for
year-round angling sport!

Maddox Blames
Solons For New
Property Taxes
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox says his pre
diction that Georgia property
owners would continue to bear
the brunt of taxation if the
Legislature failed to approve
his tax revision proposals has
come to pass.
The governor, addressing the
Decatur Kiwanis Club, said “no
government, whether large or
small, can substitute economy
and efficiency for adequate
revenue that is needed to keep
on meeting our duties and our
responsibilities to all our citi
zens.” He continued:
“Having known for years
that Georgia’s hard-pressed
cities and counties had to gain
additional revenue in order to
grow and prosper, 1 requested
an increase of one per cent in
the state sales tax in the last
two sessions of the General As
sembly.
“I knew that if our state did
not enact a fair and equitable
means of obtaining this new
revenue, that property owners
across our state would be faced
with an even greater burden as
cities and counties piled on new
taxes.”
Pointing out that he fought
for an increase in the sales tax
“because that would have
spread the burden fairly and
equally over the entire popula
tion instead of further penaliz
ing the already overburden
farmowner, home-owner and
businessman,” Gov. Maddox de
clared:
“What was predicted before,
during and after each session
of the General Assembly has
now come to pass. Ad valorem
taxes are rising all over Geor
gia . . . Had my proposals been
implemented, you would not
have suffered these tax in
creases.”
The governor made no bones
about who he holds responsible
for this situation. Said he:
“The very people who voted
to down the Maddox proposals,
in effect, automatically voted
an increase in your property
taxes, and the homes you sleep
in tonight will cost you more
to maintain taxwise because my
tax program was cast aside.
“It’s a shame that some poli
ticians, special interest groups,
and others who place their own
interest above the interest of
their state have seen fit to slap
progress in the face. They have
said, in effect, ‘Of course we
> need taxes, but let’s just get
i them from the homeowner
■ where we have already gotten
so much’.”

New Lifeguard
Manual Issued
By Parks Dept.
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Con
tinuing to place emphasis on
safety of visitors to its far
flung parks system, the State
Parks Department has issued a
new safety manual to all park
lifeguards on duty at the parks,
according to State Parks Direc
tor John L. Gordon.
Based on the premise that
“an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure,” the
manual suggests a special pre-,
emergency plan of action. Ap
propriately called a “crash
plan,” it recommends, in es
sense, thinking ahead of situa
tions where thoughtflessness
often causes tragedy.
Details on “the lifeguard’s
job,” as well as on standardized
rules and regulations, equip
ment, and emergency proce
dures also are contained in the
informative manual, which was
prepared by Miss Robin Jack
son of the Parks Department’s
general staff.
“The Parks Department
hopes,” Director Gordon said,
“that this information, together
with pertinent facts on the his
tory and development of Geor
gia’s state parks, will not only
help lifeguards to adapt to their
assigned duties, but that it will
greatly increase waterfront
safety for our park users —
visitors from all over Georgia
and from just about every
where else.”
