Paintin’ And |

show to attract student and
professional artists and at the

Solve Education
.
Problems First,
Says Maddox
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, addressing
Atldnta’s Gate City Masonic
Lodge, said he recently had seen
where one large church publica
tion had an editorial advising
him to “knock off” standing up
for the children of Georgia and
the nation and “get on to some
thing that counts.”
“Can you imagine an official
publication of a church taking
such a stand as this?"” he ask
ed. “What in the world, I ask
you, can be more important
than our children and their edu
cation?”
The governor said that “in
my book, there is nothing to
equal the issue of education in
America today.” He said crime,
poverty, transportation, hous
ing, health and all the other do
mestic programs “for which we
are spending billions of dollars’
are important, and “we must
feed the hungry who cannot
feed themselves. We must train
those who want to work but
have no marketable skills,. We
must build better roads and
highways and find cures for the
physical and mental ills of our
people.”
“But,” he continued, “if we
solve all of these problems and
make great progress in all
these problems and make great
progress in all these areas and
lose our freedom in the process,
then we have gained nothing.
When I talk about the education
of our children, I am not just
talking about teaching the
ABC’s. I am talking about the
very survival of this nation as
a free republic.”
Gov. Maddox said top public
officials should set aside all
other domestic matters at this
time and concentrate their
energies on “cleaning up the
mess which has resulted from
giving too much power and too
little attention to the bureau
crats who have ‘knocked off’
trying to provide our children
with a worthy education and
have concentrated their full ef
forts on destroying the basic
freedoms of all Americans,
black and white, in a promotion
of a long-since disproved social
theory.”
President Nixon “should put
his new welfare program in a
drawer,” and Congress should
stay in session “until the chaos
which has been made of educa
tion can be cleared up,” Maddox
declared. He added:
“It is up to us to tell HEW
and the Justice Department to
‘knock it off’,” and “to tell the
Supreme Court and misguided
church officials to ‘knock it
off".”
Rural Fires
More Costly
ATLANTA (PRN) — Fires
on farms cause three to six
times more damage per fire
than city fires, the Insurance
Information Institute reports.
Isolation, lack of
fire-lighting equipment, less
rigid wiring and construction
standards and, sometimes,
poor heating facilities, were
listed as the major reasons
why a rural fire usually results
in greater loss than an urban
fire.
Based on United States
Department of Agriculture
statistics, annual farm fire
losses have increased from SB2
million in 1943 to well over
S2OO million in recent years.
Fire or lightning strikes 2 out
of every 100 farms in the
United States each vear.

Smith Urges Expansion Os
Vocational Rehabilitation
JEKYLL ISLAND (PRN) —
Lieutenant Governor George
T. Smith strongly urged the
expansion of the State’s
vocational rehabilitation
program as a long-range
economy measure.
Speaking at the Vocational
Rehabilitation Staff Training
Conference at Jekyll Island,
Gov. Smith wused State
statistics to back up his
recommendation.
He cited the results of a
7-year joint pilot project
conducted by Vocational
Rehabilitation together with
the Department of Family and
Children Services. Some 312
welfare clients with physican
and/or mental handicaps
complicated by cultural
deprivation were selected to
participate in the pilot project,
and then trained and placed in
jobs.
According to Smith, seven
years ago, their annual income
from welfare was $349.000.
After rehabilitation, their
annual income from welfare
was reduced to $57,000 per
year . . .and their annual
earnings from their jobs was
$642,000. per year.
The total cost of
rehabilitation services to them
was $147,000.
Smith said that one
government projection study
estimated that every person
who is rehabilitated and
placed in a job will retum to
the State in taxes about 33
times the cost of the initial
services he required.
“But think of the dividends
derived in human
values.. .which are more
important than the money,”
Smith said.
*‘Self-respect . . .pride of
accomplishment . . .the
privilege of becoming a
first-class citizen instead of a
tax burden . . .the right to be a
whole man, or woman, despite
any physical handicaps . . .
these are the gifts you have
given 312 persons who were
formerly dependent upon
welfare,”” he added.
The lieutenant governor
estimated that there are some
400,000 handicapped
Georgians, but budget
limitations permit Rehab to
help about 12% - or 48,000
during the last fiscal year.
He urged the department {o
publicize their successes and
their future goals so as to get
public support, which would
result in necessary funds, to
expand their program.
He commended the staff
for the national recognition
they have received for their
performance and
innovation . . .that they have
“dared to try something
new ...and march in where
‘angels fear to tread’ ... with
the results that you have
become the angels to
thousands of handicapped
Georgians . . . . .”
